Title: What do you think about Davidson's laundry fee? Text: Vee Kay Knight, '88: First of all I feel that $310 is just way too much for laundry service—especially if it is mandatory. Some people don't even use the service. I've been here three years and I may send a load in once a month and when I get it back it's usually burned to a crisp... I didn't even know I was paying that much.
Morrow Reeves, '88: Why is it mandatory? Not everybody wants to do their laundry there. Some people prefer to do it on their own and if that's the case they should have that option to use the money they pay the laundry to do their own... buy their own detergent...
Patricio Zaldumbide '90: Well, I don't think it should be mandatory. You should have the option of doing your own clothes. I personally don't agree with it.
Frank Whitaker, '89: I think it's a quality laundry service that we are privileged to have here at Davidson College. I don't mind paying quality prices for quality product.
Rufus Timberlake, '89: Let me put it this way: When I was deciding where to go to schools—either Washington and Lee or Davidson. When I found out Washington and Lee didn't have a laundry service, I decided to come to Davidson within the next two hours. - Publisher
