Tang na bakit walang ganito nung freshman tayo?

In a new bid to get technology closer to students and enhance their study habits, Duke University is handing out spanking new iPods to its freshman class when they arrive on campus on August 19:

On Monday, the university announced a deal with Apple to distribute 1,650 of the hand-held gizmos to first-year students. Duke will get a discount and give them free to freshmen -- for keeps.
The iPods generally are used to store and play music; the 20-GB model, which the students will get, can hold up to 5,000 tunes. But the Duke students, being brainy and all, will use the iPods mostly for academics.
Or so Duke hopes.

"Whoa!" said rising Duke freshman Mollie Tucker of Raleigh when she learned she'd pocket an iPod. "It sounds like a good idea. It sounds really cool."

Grabeng back to school come on yan ha. Of course the university hopes the students will use it for academic purposes. My foot. And of course, the tuition fee isn't minimal. But still, the day na merong ganitong klaseng handout ang UP sa freshman class, tangina, mag-uUPCAT ako ulit.
