Tuesday, April 15, 2008

The Arbiter, Boise State University’s student newspaper, calls student ID cards a “useful tool,” a “key” vital to a student’s life. Yet, their importance is often ignored by students.

Writer Eric Martinez asks: “Why do we tend to neglect such an important and useful tool that relates to campus life? Why do we find ourselves leaving our dorm rooms without it or leaving it at random places due to carelessness? Why is the picture so much better than the one on our driver’s licenses? Your student ID card is more than just a card; it’s a key. Any student who has participated in virtually any type of campus event should know this by now.”
