I work in the computer lab at ND.  Despite a large amount of time near computer s I can spend only a little time on them.  (Ah...I mean logged on)  One of my 
favorite things to read last year was soc.college.  This year it seems to be the exclusive posting place of people who don't know where else to go with their
problems.  There is another newsgroup for locating computer friends, I think it
is called soc.net-people or something.  Problems with Event loops could probably be discussed in comp....something or other (at least that guy apologized thoughetc etc.  How about the back to school parties?  Is there anyone still reading this group that remebers the true goals of a college education?  ie avoid the real world, kill brain cells, waste parents money etc etc..  Seriously, a discussion of PC is a good topic and I enjoy it (though why whether Jesus was black or white or green really doesn't str







ike me as a crucial point in the debate).  So by
all means continue such high minded, intellectual discussions but couldn't we also add some interesting topics like good party themes (the hawaiian grass skirt only beach house bash)  Even more Yale sucks Harvard bites arguments would be welcome respite.  Is there anyone out there who still cares? Stand up for whats right. Praise Jesus. ...and I never learned to read (sob sob).
Amen.

At least such persons should learn *how to change* the programming world
to something better. We are stuck in the big mess of ancient languages,
and there's certainly finally time for something better.

Here at Columbia, I'm a sophomore living in suite of approximately 13 
people and it is co-ed.  We have two floors in our suite and have two
co-ed bathrooms (one on the bottom and one on the top).  Personally,
I picked into this group because it was co-ed...:)

I am currently working as part of a group that is trying to convince the
administration of Harvard College to permit co-educational rooming groups.
What this means is what it appears to mean  - men and women living in the
same suite. Some people will probably think that this is a dumb idea (and
they may be right, but that's not the point right now). What I would like
from the net is information from people about what types of rooming groups
are permitted at their schools.

The types of dorms and residences at different colleges (or even at the
same college) vary, so I would also appreciate any information about the
nature of the suites/apartments/whatever (ie, number of bedrooms, whether
they are considereed to be separate rooms or part of a single suite, whether
they have locks on the doors, number and locations of bathrooms, etc;). If
the administration or students have particularly strong feelings about the
issue, I would also be interested in hearing about them.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

At Caltech, just about anything goes.  Instead of traditional dorms, we have 
seven houses which have between 60 and 90 people each.  The houses are
(somewhat) self-governing, so allowing coed rooms is up to each of the houses.
As far as I know, no house expressly forbids it, although it is more common
in some houses than others.  WIthing the houses, there is ususally one shower
room and one bathroom per hallway, shared by 5-15 people.  The facilities
are communal in some of the houses (if the light's on in the bathroom or 
shower, knock and wait for an answer), and segregated by sexes in some.  Either
way seems to work fine.  It only becomes a problem if you have someone, for
instance, who takes lengthy showers and refuses to let the opposite sex use
the other shower stalls while he/she is in the room.

For off-campus Caltech apartments, students are allowed to live in whatever 
combinations they choose, and they get to work out the arrangements.  The
groupings range from individual studio apartments to groups of four to eight
sharing a singl-family home.

I realize this is California I'm talking about here, but it's not that crazy
of a setup.  Unless somebody's a prude, or you've got an abundance of would-
be peeping toms, I can't see what the big deal is.

The bar entrance age is usually set from city to city.  In
Champaign, IL, it is 19.  In Urbana, IL, it is 21.  In Chicago, IL,
it is 21.  I would be inclined to believe that the 'default' for IL
is 21, but I'm not sure that such a thing exists.

chuckle, chuckle.  Here at ND the admin's idea of co'ed housing is having 
a girls college (St.Marys) across the street.  I don't think you can even
be in a girls room without a note from your mom.  ON the other hand it 
probably doesn't matter because even if you were allowed in their rooms you
wouldn't get much further. :-)  I wish harvard luck in co'ed rooms, wish us luck in crawling out of the Vatican imposed dark ages.

	My brother, Tim, is a sophomore at Purdue and he helped

He was amazed that we were directly opposite a men's suite and

A somewhat urgent question -

I have heard that a person under 21 may enter bars in Illinois, provided they
do not purchase alcohol.  Is this true?  If not, what is the law?

Please respond quickly, and preferably by e-mail, since my plans for the

Come to think of it, this could start an interesting thread about laws in
various states, and what students who are under 21 can do for amusement....

Many thanks,
