Cornell is phasing out VAX and IBM mainframes, but, anybody who is not a 
freshling will have a vax account (userid@vax5.cit.cornell.edu) and an IBM 
account (userid@cornella.cit.cornell.edu).  freshlings don't get unix accounts
they get network identities. you only get a unix account if you ask. 
so: for non-frosh without a network id or unix account:
         --> call them on the phone and ask them what their address is
    for frosh or people you might suspect have a network id (btw, you can't 
get a crux (unix) account without a network id):
         --> first_last@cornell.edu 
           the user sets a preferred destination for this mail, which may be 
crux1, may be vax5, may be Eudora on the distributed server network. This 
makes life easier so that you can give everybody ONE address, and get your 
mail at any machine without haveing to tell the world you changed your 
addresss.  A note on the crux machines:  they are identical.  if you send mail 
to crux1, it shows up on crux1, crux2, and crux3. i.e. there is one mailbox 
shared by the three machines. all mail from the cruxes appears to originate 
from crux2.  
   Unless the university has gotten a little less tight about this without 
telling the students (not likely) there is no other way to find out an address
(although they claim to be setting up a directory).

just to clarify....

 Hey folks...

I'm a RA at Central Michigan University...our alcohol policy has changed in the
past year as a result of the CMU/Western Michigan riots.  They made CNN. I'm
not sure if that's such a good thing...i'm graduating in May!

Anyway...the old policy was something like this...A 21 year old student could
have alcohol anywhere on campus, provided that it was in a closed room.
Each hall set it's own limits...ours was a six pack of beer, a four pack of
coolers or one pint of liquor.  No kegs or partyballs.

As a RA, the worst part was going into an "alcohol situation" (our fancy word
for a bust!) was splitting up the empties to see if there were enough 21 year
olds present.  aagh!  Also, people who displayed their empties as trophies
were penalized, as we didn't always know when they had consumed them!  sucks
to be them!

But now, CMU has come up with a new and improved alcohol policy.  Actually, I
sort of like it, as it helps make things a little easier.

The new policy states that a 21 year old can only possess alcohol in a room
where a 21 year old lives, and is present.  That means that if all of the
residents of a room (usually four in our suites) are under 21, there can never
be any alcohol present in the room.   This makes things a little more clear cut
and easier to explain to five or six drunk freshman!

It is VERY easy to drink in the bars here.  Most of them let 18 year olds in if
they have college ID...they use stamps..just wet them and rub hands or get some
poor sap to buy you a pitcher of beer.  One local bar did lose it's license,
although it took five or six busts before they took it away!  oh well!

hope i was a help

I couldn't agree with you more. After all, if the student knows the
material, he or she should have the possibility to demonstrate that.
And for those who don't know the material, extra time won't make any
difference.
So why not reward those who have actually studied, and now command the
subject matter.
College exams should test knowledge, not test-taking skills (i.e. how
fast you cab get through them).

I don't know about south of the border (I mean you people in the US), but
here in Canada, most schools use the term "Frosh" for their 1st year
students.  I've also heard that at Mount Allison U (in New Brunswick), the
female frosh are called "Freshettes".  On the other hand, one hardly ever
hears of 'sophomores', 'juniors' and 'seniors'. (we call them 2nd, 3rd, 4th
years).   --- Scott Weaver

Not being totally familiar with the social norms in your area, here at 
the University of Alaska, Fairbanks we do have the visitation policy.  I 
think it is a good one.  No visitors in the buildings after 2am.  
We also have two military bases in town, and a severe male to female  
ratio.  (Way more men to women).  The visitation policy is more of an  
attempt at safeguarding against trouble than anything else. Being on the  
housing J-Board has allowed me to see what goes on that RA's have to deal  
with.  Most of the time the stuff hits the fan after the restricted times.   
Does visitation policies help, I don't know.  They could, but you would  
never know unless you switch onto or off of a policy and see.

Just to mention -- this policy has been changed and clarified in the
last couple of years.  When I came as a freshman, Stanford's official
policy was "well, California law says you have to be 21, so it's your
responsibility to follow the law or suffer the consequences."  My
freshman dorm would regularly spend dorm funds (with full consent and
knowledge of the residence staff) on alchohol.

Until Congress passed the 1990 Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act,
which basically stated that schools which received federal funding had
to have some kind of alchohol policy or they would be in danger of
losing their funding.  Stanford now has an official drug & alchohol
policy.  However, it is very rarely enforced (except for one notable
incident involving a faculty member, a backpack, and a letter to the
federal Drug Czar, but that's a whole 'nother story).  One of the
biggest issues was what Elson mentioned above about the
responsibilities of the RA, and I am _very_ happy that those who
believe that RA's should not have such enforcement responsibilities
won out.

So yes, Stanford does actually have an alchohol policy, but aside from
a few "CA laws require you to be 21 to drink" signs and some very
loosely enforced bracelet systems, there just isn't much worry about
it.  Unless you're a fraternity, of course, but they have had lots of
other problems...

>Of course, Adam, since I'm the RA next door, perhaps I should talk to Jeff
>and Stacy about alcohol and visitation... :-)

Aw, come on Elson, you know I spend all my time in the computer
cluster anyway, where there are no visitation restrictions. :-)

	The U of R has supposedly cracked down on alcohol, especially at
parties -- all non-private parties where alchohol is to be served must be
catered by a university-approved (and heavily insured) outside vendor. 
(Anyone have the specifics?) However, the outside vendors don't seem
especially concerned with New York's legal drinking age.  Sure, they refuse
to take U of R ids as valid proof of age as per NY state law, but they were
more than happy (on more than one occasion) to take my driver's license. 
The problem?  My license says I was born on 03-11-73.  :) (They even asked
my my home address & zip code to make sure I wasn't using someone else's
underage license!)

I'm not sure I agree with that.  Part of learning and mastering a subject
is being able to produce that knowledge and applying it in a limited time
bracket.  Every student is under this time constraint together and it can
hardly be deemed unequal to restrict all to a limited amount of time.  The
pressure of time exists for real in the real world, and deadlines are truly
deadlines out there.  Part of the process of preparation is being able to
communicate ideas under time pressures.

Oh my Gwad! That's really awesome. I wish the same was true at Tech. Here, we
(the RAs) have the roll of policy inforcers (translated police  :) and
sometimes that can cause a problem. Students often see RAs as the bad guys and
therefore are hesitant about going to us for problems. There's been more than
one case where I've run into this (especially when it comes to students who
drink too much ... their roomie is concerned or something). I think that
Stanford's policy is pretty neat. I could see where it would relieve some of
the RAs burden and allow them to concentrate on more important things (social
events and such).
