The "loonyness" of govt. help w/computer purchases is no loonier
than any OTHER kind of govt. help with educational financing. Would
you do away with Financial Aid for lower income students? And, if
so, where would our universities BE without these students? Our
funding comes from actual numbers of enrollment (at least the public
ones do).
My POINT is that computers cost WAY more than TV's. Autos and
telephones are NECESSITIES - TV's-debateable. You can buy a TV for
LESS than $100 - you can't even buy ACCESSORIES for computers for
this. I think you all know what I mean. I think that we all just
need to be thankful that we have a job that incorporates this function
for us to use. Those who have their *OWN* computers - well, can you
spell FORTUNATE, boys and girls?
Bottom line: Universities (unless they're private and cater to the
upper-UPPER class $$$) have no business DEMANDING everything being
done with a computer - unless the specific computer function directly
relates to the subject matter. Of course, computer classes are
different. There ARE PC labs available.

You should definitely check into the Web pages maintained by Mike
Meuser and Andrew Szasz at UC Santa Cruz. In addition to the overview
of their work on environmental justice issues, they maintain a very
extensive bibliography of sources, including primary sources, related
to your student's topic. You can access the pages at:
