When I first got to Wesleyan, life was simple. You read a page, and went on to the next, no questions asked. Then we discovered the other side of the page. Who knew? A whole extra page, staring us in the face the whole time.
Upon returning to Wesleyan this year, the first thing I did was make sure that my old friend PAC4200 was alive and well. However, much to my surprise, the article I had printed was in fact printed single-sided. I tried again, making sure to remind PAC4200 that ze was printing good old fashioned duplex for me. And ze refused, again.
Shocked, I ran to Olin, LRC and Scili. I even went to the Keck and CFA labs. All single-sided. Now I walk around a defeated man; my back aching with the weight of excess paper, my staples threatening to give way at any moment. ITS, we need to rediscover the second side of the page. Sure, to save the trees. But more importantly, to save ourselves.
