Letter to the Editor
University should invest in stronger toilet tissue

I'd like to comment on the shoddy quality of toilet paper available to patrons in Penn State restrooms. Anyone with experience in a restroom stall knows about the translucent thinness of the paper.

Moreover, the roll continues revolving after you tear a wad, so that the fresh end comes to rest at the top of roll. In order to tear another piece, the patron must first bend over, placing his head underneath the dispenser and dangerously close to the toilet with the freshly deposited human waste, while trying to discern the end of the roll using the feeble illumination available.

It would be nice if Penn State would appropriate a small portion of my tuition increase to its toilet paper budget and buy a two-ply or higher quality paper.
