Several years, at the prompting of Student Government, the University partnered with Wash, a company whose focus is campus laundry. Gone were the pay machines, and with great fanfare, smiles, and even a few tears, new and free Wash machines appeared in laundry rooms across campus. But the honeymoon was not to last as those who do laundry experienced malfunctioning and even broken machines. Sadly, the rate of broken machines is now higher with Wash than with our previous partner, ND Campus Vending, and the rate of repair is slower now than it was before.
