What is Eigelman (sp?) like?  I am again applying to a Ph.D. program at IU.  
If I am accepted I will most likely have to live in the grad student dorm for
at least one semester.  From the info IU sent to me it looks like Eigelman, 
on a co-ed floor, is the only choice.  The info didn't give any descriptions
of the physical layout.

As long as I am asking about grad housing at IU, I might as well ask about
grad housing at Ohio State, U of Florida, U of Texas-Austin, U of New Mexico,
Arizona State, UC-Santa Cruz, UC-Davis, and U of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

It's about that pledging time again...

As the current "Pledge Master" for my chapter, I was wondering if any of you
greeks / former pledges can tell me of any of the seemingly harmless things
that you did / had done to you, that turned into a big nightmare.

I don't want the We all started drinking and...  (Generic variety) stories, 
only the things that really don't look like they'd present a problem but did.

I'm trying to make this the best, safest class yet in the (short) history of 
the Gamma Upsilon Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma.

Thanks...
Ed...

P.s. I'd be happy to hear from any other Phi Kaps out there about anything 
else!!!  (Go Phi Kap!!!)

I am looking for advice about things to watch for or special tactics
to use when taking a university into court.  The problem is that I
was attending a summer session and the school refunded my money and
disenrolled me from the courses (and now refuses to accept the credits)
several weeks into the session.  I am fully willing to pay for the
credits (once again...), but they refuse to allow the credits - they
want me to reattend next summer.

Some problems I have been running into is a conflict of interests with
several local attorneys and the school.  What is the best way to go
about this sort of thing?

Please reply via e-mail.

Thanks much,
-Tom

I think Peter pretty much covered the subject rather well. I just thought I'd
add my anedote ... I was dating someone for about 1 1/2 years before I left for
college. I was a first year student in college, she was a senior in high
school. We were separated by more than a few states, so it was a very long
distance relationship. Before I left for college, we were very much in love,
very rarely had fights (I think we only had two the entire time we were dating
BEFORE I left for college). The relationship was over by Christmas break. It
was amazing to see how quickly we grew apart ... both of us were changing,
because like Peter said, most people change very rapidly from 18-25 (or 17 ...
I entered college a little younger than most).

I seem some Freshmen come in with high school relationships that last longer
than mine did. But I've never see one last (save one -- see below). The problem
becomes compounded when the sig. other graduates from HS and goes to college
(esp. if it isn't the same college!).

The one relationship that I did see make it through all these changes probably
would make it worthwhile to at least try. They were truely dedicated to each
other, but also understood that the other was about to/just did go through some
big changes in their life (she entered college 2 years after him, to a
different college). They also gave each other room when needed..

The odds may seem against you, but it has worked out ... occasionally. Best of
luck to the both of you.

Here at Columbia, it isn't even that decided.  It isn't like "this room is a 
male room, but that room is a female room."  A room is a room.  You pick your
room.  No one cares what the gender of your next door neighbors is.  

I'm sorry, maybe it's just the "mind your own business" attitude of NYC,
but I just find "visitation" a pathetic relic of another era.  Sheesh, do

This is only correct for ONE of the sites listed below: nic.ddn.mil.
It will not work for the other whois servers.  The other whois servers
work as follows: If you have the "whois" program at your site, you can
just type:

whois -h stanford.edu "Firstname Lastname"

replacing stanford.edu with the appropriate server.  The servers other
than nic.ddn.mil contain information specific to the school they serve
(I'll note that below).  Stanford's, for example, includes names and
phone numbers for most students and almost all faculty.

The above instructions are true for nic.ddn.mil.  However, many of
these administrative/technical contacts (not all) are too busy to
answer requests like this, so you might not be completely successful.
A better approach for many schools is listed in the "How To Find
College Email Addresses" FAQ periodically posted to both this group
and news.answers.

>Some sites that have WHOIS servers are:

this will really affect the usage of the rest of the university, but I

Just to add, I know that my school, Georgetown University, a Jesuit

Cornell has one (at least it did in 1986).  You might want to try the
NYS College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse NY.  Both 
ESF and Cornell are fine schools but ESF is state and a lot cheaper.  Its
next to Syracuse University and you have all the amenities of SU for the
price of a state college.

Graduate Study
College of Computing
Georgia Institute of Technology
-------------------------------

     The purpose of this note is to briefly  introduce you to the
opportunities  for  graduate study in the College of Computing at
Georgia Institute of  Technology.  Georgia  Tech  is  located  in
Atlanta,  the  capital of Georgia and the site of the 1996 Summer
Olympic games. The recently formed College of  Computing  evolved
from  the  School  of  Information  & Computer Science, which was
founded in 1963.  The  College  has  a  strong  interdisciplinary
focus  that allows computing to build on the strengths of Georgia
Tech through ties to engineering and science researchers. The aim
of  Georgia Tech is to be the technological institute of the 21st
century and the College of Computing will play an  integral  part
in achieving that goal.
     The College has an academic faculty of 37 with an enrollment
of  more than 100 Ph.D. students and an equal number of M.S. stu-
dents. The College  awards bachelor's, master's and doctoral  de-
grees  in computer science with strong programs in artificial in-
telligence, cognitive science, computer vision, database systems,
graphics  and  visualization,  human  factors, operating systems,
parallel and distributed systems, parallel computer architecture,
performance  analysis,  programming  languages  and environments,
robotics, software engineering, telecommunications  and  network-
ing,  and  theoretical  computer science. The College also offers
financial support to its students, which is available on  a  com-
petitive basis.
     For complete program information and application  materials,
contact  our  graduate  admissions  office via electronic mail at
inforequests@cc.gatech.edu or by telephone at (404) 894-3152.

[This posting is on behalf of a friend, Shriram K, sskrishn@cc.owu.edu]

I am applying to graduate school in CS for next fall. Of the places I
am looking at, I have a particular interest in one (Indiana at
Bloomington) for reasons beyond the academic: my best friend and my
girlfriend/fiance are both graduate students there (in CS), and will
be there for some years to come.

Therefore, all other things given equal, my choice would no doubt be
influenced by this factor, and it seems to me this is something I
should inform the department about. I might add that I have far more
specific reasons for applying there (related to research interests),
and that I have a pretty solid academic record.

Is it within bounds to inform a department about such things? If so,
would the Personal Statement be the place to indicate this? I would
especially appreciate input from those of you that have been in
similar situations, and from folk on the "other side" (-:. Thank you.
