Guest Column: What ASCSU has been doing for you
Byron Moore
Issue date: 2/11/08 Section: Opinion
The bill also requires that publishers who bundle textbooks offer packages that allow students to buy the book and the individual add-ons separately. During a hearing on the bill Friday, several students spoke about how the high cost of textbooks has affected their college experience.
The bill passed through the Senate Education Committee with a 100 percent vote and will now move in to the committee of the whole.
The passage of this bill would be a victory for students over market forces and would keep more money in our pockets during the start of each semester.
Right now, we strongly urge every student concerned about the price of their textbooks to contact the following people and voice your support:
Blake Gibson, ASC Chair: chair@costudents.org
State Senator Ron Tupa: ron.tupa.senate@state.co.us
State Representative John Kefalas: john.kefalas.house@state.co.us
Or visit www.ASCSU.Colostate.edu to contact your College Senator, or to learn more about what we can do to make text books more affordable.
Finally, congratulations for RamRide are in order. The program recently delivered rider number 60,000 safely home.
Congratulations RamRide for all your hard work and successful efforts. Thank you for being there and here's to hoping that we never take you for granted.
If there is an issue you'd like to see us tackle, feel free to shoot us your opinion at csuvoice@gmail.com. You can also stop by the ASCSU office in LSC 109, or write on our new board by the door.
