I would like to petition the administration of the Science Academy to remove a few unnecessary ordinances which many might find unpleasant, and create a couple of pleasant, helpful new ones I have in mind. Our school, though largely Perfect, has a few perks that could definitely be improved, all of which are so small that no one has bothered about them until now, even if they can get pretty annoying.

I'm sure students don't come to the library to purchase computer equipment.

Furthermore, a student may borrow zip disk at the library, a more advanced piece of equipment with the same function, at no charge; and yet, upon desperately requesting a floppy, he is not informed of this.
             This problem has a simple solution that benefits everyone.

This way, the school has their floppy-money secure, and the child h...
