...that a proposal in the bill to create textbook rental programs would make “a huge difference” in how students make their purchases. Coop President Jerry P. Murphy ’73 and other administrators at the bookstore did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The proposed bill falls in a pattern of legislation aimed at reducing the cost of college for students. Last year, the House passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which provided students with an additional $20 billion in federal college aid over the next five years, according to Racusen...

Sequeira’s thoughtful article, “The Brown Blessing” (comment, Jan. 30) with defensiveness on behalf of the Indian-Americans who disproportionately back Mr. Jindal. Instead, I’d just like to correct a tangential and perhaps unintended insinuation in her otherwise well-argued piece. She writes: “converting from Hinduism to Christianity as a senior in high...
