Students at Dickinson College are still smarter than the average on-campus washing machine, but the margin may have been cut a bit this year with the introduction of the college’s new eSuds system. The college’s 180 machines now accept college ID cards as debit-style payment; and, when the load is done, the machines will notify students via text message. Students still have to fold their own clothes; but we can assume that someone’s working on that problem, too. (Associated Press)
