Is cash no longer legal tender?->

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes "I attend the University of Illinois at Chicago. Last semester my housing arrangements went smoothly. I put down my application fee, and my deposit just fine, got a room for the semester and life went on. This semester, because there was supposedly a large number of students who did not check into their rooms last semester, we were required to make a $100 prepayment, in addition to the application fee and deposit. No problem, I think, I see the university is trying to make a quick buck off people who don't follow through with their plans. Now I do NOT have a checking account, a credit card, or anything. I am one of the few people who do EVERYTHING in cash. I don't trust the banks, I don't trust credit card companies. I also had a trip planned for out of the country, so I get my cash, and on my way to the airport, I stop by the housing office to make my prepayment. They refuse to take cash. They will not charge my university account (so I can pay the bursar or whoever I need to) in cash, and they want a check or money order. Nowhere in their letter did they say that. I fear out of technicality I am going to loose my housing since I cannot get them their money on time because they do not take cash. Is it legal for a state-owned university, let alone any business to not take legal tender?"

SPAM: Virginia Tech Tragedy Reopens Gun Debate

Journal by Tanaris

First and foremost, IsupportThisMessage.com sends our sympathies to the families of the slain and wounded in the senseless tragedy at Virginia Tech yesterday. It is hard to comprehend how we can live in a world where it has never been easier to communicate and reach out to others and yet people still commit acts of violence like this. Why the killer couldnt find another means of expresssing whatever unimaginable feelings he had we all need ask ourselves as a society.

The appreciation of the average visual graphisticator alone is worth the whole suaveness and decadence which abounds!!
