Specials that aren't special Isn't it wonderful to do laundry at Wooster? We have the privilege ofscoping out the washers, running to catch the dryers to load them, and that final sprint to empty them before someone strews our newly cleaned wardrobe all pver the laundry room. Not to mention, ofcourse, the weekly ritual ofgoing through the pockets of dirty jeans looking for the necessary quarters to wash and dry the load in the first place. It is for this reason that the campus rejoiced when A.S.I, advertised a weekend special only a quarter to wash. What a splendid idea. Being able to do laundry Cheaply is certainly a plus. For this reason, many students hauled their dirty clothing to the basements of buildings such as Armington and Kenarden late at night, only to find the price on the washers at the usual $1.00. Now, not only were we cruelly misled by the copious signs in our dorms advertising $.25 all weekend, but we were forced to scrounge around un- der the cushions of the furniture in our lounges in a desperate search for extra quarters we did not plan on needing. . Was it necessary to toy with us like this? Laundry people, whoever you are, hear our plea! $.25 weekends are great ideas, but make sure that's what they are. We have enough to figure out without having to make guesses on how much it will cost to do a load of laundry. You go, Times!
