Letter to the Editor

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a junior nursing student. i've been coming to the library computer lab since 2010 and even though that computer lab is the worst one at UCO (old computers, can't print from the internet, scanners don't work, misspelled signs — BTW, it's so shameful that a state university like UCO isn't able to write signs using proper english) it's pretty much the only one that is open until late. This semester they came up with a new rule, students with- out their TJCO IDs cannot come in and the lab monitor has to sign them in manually. Not only does that generate lines but it also makes the lab monitor-unable to leave their desk to help the students, and all of that translates into worse service. I still cannot believe a university the size of UCO has no means of upgrading the computers on that 'computer lab or automatizing the signing in process (like they do at the gym), which BTW is somewhat Y444,0g04 5.::4 stupid. Here's my rant, every time I come to the computer lab I'm asked to show my ID, which I promptly do. Now that I got the new one that happens to also be my credit card I feel uncom- fortable to handle it to the lab monitor. So mind you that I come to that computer lab almost every day, I know most of the lab assistants and they obviously know me. So, late at night I'm in this line to get in, I talk to the guy who signs people in and tell him that I got the new ID and etc., I tell him my ID number, he says that unfortunately he can't let got no response. When I came hack the other day, I spoke to Cartoon by Matthew Gossom me in without seeing my ID card. I ask why (as he knows me) another lab monitor and she said they are all tired of these new labs??? and he says that he may get fired for doing so as this new rule crazy rules but that they can't do anything about them. . They can't spell the signs' right but they for sure can enforce is being enforced and he has already being reprimanded by his Long story short, they wouldn't let me in that night. those draconian rules.
