We all have radios, phones, e-mail, play stations, friends. Having Cable TV is not going to make this problem worse. We all get our work done. We know how to set aside time and go to the library. When we get home from studying at one in the morning, how is watching late night Sportscenter going to hurt us.
Cable is also a great way to stay in touch with the world.
Let s face it, we live in a bubble. Most kids don t read the paper, cable TV now has about six 24-hour news channels. We could have watched the impeachment trial, or the updates on the war in the Balkans. We would be a better informed student body with this service. As an endnote I would like to clarify something from last weeks column, I am a huge supporter of U-Med.
