SG president reveals iPad check-out plan Wright discusses successes, goals in student body address Ryan Quinn [email protected]
Student Body President Joe Wright announced an iPad 2 library check-out program and an initiative that would allow students to get discounts at off-campus businesses Wednesday evening during his State of the Student Body address.

Students would be able to check out the iPads for two or three days and could download any applications they want because the memory would be wiped when the Chief amps up devices are returned, Wright said. Wright estimated the program’s cost to be about $10,000, which will be funded by the library and force in first year University Technology Services.
