Do you want to wait in line to get your print job, because 10 people are crowding around because 1 guy is trying to staple a 50 page document together, so then it breaks, and then the CRC has to come around, etc. etc. etc. Self-sufficiency is the key here. We're the only campus that gets almost 200 free sheets per quarter. If ASUCD wants to pay for staplers and upkeep and maintenance then fine, do it and do it well. I gave Rob Roy a list of the issues presented by CRCs and by the lab managers. To my knowledge, other than the SLF (which serves to further polarize the issue) nothing's been done. The university can't hand you everything, you have to be able to do some things for yourself. If it's so important to you that you bind your pages, buy a $2 stapler and save the time you're complaining about it and put it towards posting more pages. --["DanielMedinaCleghorn"]	+ ''2005-04-25 17:36:25'' [[nbsp]] I'm with George.

I turn in every paper stapled, always, but it ticks me off to no end that one of the greatest universities in the world (or so they claim to be) can't solve an issue as basic as a stapler.

This is why the school provided a computer lab with computers and printers because not everyone can afford them. However, as much as people like to argue that a stapler is considered unaffordable to some, the majority of the people on campus are financially capable of buying one. As a student, I understand how frustrating it can be when you have that paper to print last minute but not find a stapler. But shouldn't that partially be the student's responsibility? You can't put all the blame on the computer labs or on the university. Students are partially responsible for getting their papers done on time and/or providing themselves with an almost daily-used school supply. --["JennKwan"]	+ ''2005-05-19 12:51:12'' [[nbsp]] You can't compare a stapler (which is generally at a price range of $2-3) versus something like a printer which is at least $50.

Laser printers are expensive, toner is expensive, paper adds up, it costs money, and stapler maintenance just adds to the cost. If you want to buy an inkjet printer, start with 100 bucks, add 30-45 dollars for ink, buy your own paper, a cable...they're giving all that to you for free. Even buying a stapler every quarter (which is absurd) for the entire time you're in college would save you at least a hundred bucks of the cost of a regular printer.

- * How many undergrads do we have? 25k+ right? Let's assume simply 2,000 of them use the school computer labs. Even if ministaplers were $1, that's still $2000. That's a lot of money. It seems that's a far more inefficient solution then giving even a $100 electric stapler to each computer lab. Especially as ministaplers are much more, something like $3.00 each, and as everyone said, the labs are meant to help us. What's so godawful about some money for a stapler? It's far more efficient, and it's easier on everyone, particularly the students - and in the long run: far cheaper. -["EdwinSaada" ed]

- * I agree with the comment that people should take responsibility for their own office supplies, and I own at least a couple of staplers myself. However, the debate over staplers in the labs concerns the proper distribution and use of funds already being taken every quarter from students. It's not so much an issue of wanting the university to provide something else for us - it's just a way of saying that, assuming that we already are paying a certain amount of money in student fees, we would like that money to go to something that would benefit most students on this campus, even if it is mainly a convenience. As far as I know, the people trying to return the staplers to the lab just want to re-allocate money that's already being spent on other purposes, or make other aspects of the school run more efficiently, so that the majority of students can get the most out of what they're already having to spend. We, as a group, would like to collectively purchase our own staplers with some of that fee money!	+ * I agree with the comment that people should take responsibility for their own office supplies, and I own at least a couple of staplers myself.

	+ + * I agree with the comment that people should take responsibility for their own office supplies, and I own at least a couple of staplers myself. However, the debate over staplers in the labs concerns the proper distribution and use of funds already being taken every quarter from students. It's not so much an issue of wanting the university to provide something else for us - it's just a way of saying that, assuming that we already are paying a certain amount of money in student fees, we would like that money to go to something that would benefit most students on this campus, even if it is mainly a convenience. As far as I know, the people trying to return the staplers to the lab just want to re-allocate money that's already being spent on other purposes, or make other aspects of the school run more efficiently, so that the majority of students can get the most out of what they're already having to spend. We, as a group, would like to collectively purchase our own staplers with some of that fee money! + + I'd also like to see more electronic submission of papers - I know that on another page some people said that that system didn't work very well, but I had a professor who actually preferred papers to be emailed so that he wouldn't have to carry paper around.

It seems that's a far more inefficient solution then giving even a $100 electric stapler to each computer lab. Especially as ministaplers are much more, something like $3.00 each, and as everyone said, the labs are meant to help us. What's so godawful about some money for a stapler? It's far more efficient, and it's easier on everyone, particularly the students - and in the long run: far cheaper. -["EdwinSaada" ed]

This is why the school provided a computer lab with computers and printers because not everyone can afford them. However, as much as people like to argue that a stapler is considered unaffordable to some, the majority of the people on campus are financially capable of buying one. As a student, I understand how frustrating it can be when you have that paper to print last minute but not find a stapler. But shouldn't that partially be the student's responsibility? You can't put all the blame on the computer labs or on the university. Students are partially responsible for getting their papers done on time and/or providing themselves with an almost daily-used school supply. --["JennKwan"]

I turn in every paper stapled, always, but it ticks me off to no end that one of the greatest universities in the world (or so they claim to be) can't solve an issue as basic as a stapler. If this was a problem with printers, would we be expected to carry around portable printers? --["ChristopherPrice"]

Do you want to wait in line to get your print job, because 10 people are crowding around because 1 guy is trying to staple a 50 page document together, so then it breaks, and then the CRC has to come around, etc. etc. etc. Self-sufficiency is the key here. We're the only campus that gets almost 200 free sheets per quarter. If ASUCD wants to pay for staplers and upkeep and maintenance then fine, do it and do it well. I gave Rob Roy a list of the issues presented by CRCs and by the lab managers. To my knowledge, other than the SLF (which serves to further polarize the issue) nothing's been done. The university can't hand you everything, you have to be able to do some things for yourself. If it's so important to you that you bind your pages, buy a $2 stapler and save the time you're complaining about it and put it towards posting more pages. --["DanielMedinaCleghorn"]
