Again, not that I want to make Stanford sound liberal or whatever, but the
basic gist of our policy is that we have to make a good faith effort to
insure that the people drinking at parties are 21 or over.  That means having
some system of checking ID's, making sure the servers are familiar with
the law, etc.

RA's at Stanford are *not* responsible for enforcing any Stanford policies,
alcohol or otherwise.  The theory being that if RA's were placed in the role
of police, then students would be reluctant to approach us about personal
problems, and that the dorm community would suffer.

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

This is just a basic appeal to former members and alumni of the
Demosthenian Society. If you are one, or know one, please e-mail me. I
would like to know how many Demosthenians there are on the net,
particularly since there has been such a breakdown in communication
between the Society and its alumni. Also, please let me know if you
are getting the annual _Beyond the Lecturn._

To non-Demosthenians: The Demosthenian Society, at the University of
Georgia, is the South's oldest college debating society (founded
1803); it has produced many great thinkers and speakers for Georgia and the

So there.

I was shocked when I went down to Stanford last year and found people playing
"Quarters" in the _main lounge_ of their dorm.  (!!!)  Here at Cal, RA's do
write people up for breaking alcohol policies (or whatever other policies);
there may be that "reluctance to approach..." that you describe above.

Alcohol here is tolerated in your own room, provided that you are of legal
drinking age.  (Which doesn't really matter if your door is closed, anyhoo.)
RA's will not enter a room to search for alcohol, however, if your party gets
too noisy, then they will come in.  Depending on the RA and their general
mood, you might get off with a warning, the RA might flee ("didn't see it"),
or (more often or not) they ask you to get rid of the alcohol.
If you are wandering around with an open container of beer, they'll ask you
to pour it out.  Drinking with your door open makes it a public party.
(Whether or not you are partying.)

That's not entirely true -- you can't have your 4 month old baby
brother on the floor, or your father, or any male guests, but male 
janitors can and do regularly come on the floor.  It has caused a 
lot of discontent among the girls living there, because the policy
certainly couldn't get any more hypocritical. . .

But here's one better:  In Willkie Quad, there is (or was last year)
a MEN'S floor that was "accidentally" made closed visitation, just
like the Virgin Vault.  Needless to say, the guys placed there were
a tad upset.  The rules of the university forbid a floor from changing
visitation policies mid-year.  Their only option was to move out, but
there aren't enough open rooms elsewhere on campus.  A great surprise
gift for your favorite freshman guy!

I just wanted to mention:

Here at Stanford, I've very rarely felt a crunch on final exams.  We
have three-hour finals, and these are usually (in my experience,
anyway -- anyone from here who disagrees feel free to post) designed
pretty well to fit into that time period.

Midterms tend to be a different story, often -- but again, in my
experience, the "techie" (science-side in Stanford-speak) professors
tend to take that into account in the grading curve.  The "fuzzy"
classes (the opposite of "techie") tend to have take-home midterms or
just papers.

That's not true. VAX and Unix accounts are freely given to anyone. For
VAX, they're cornella, cornellc and cornellf. For Unix, they're crux1,
crux2 and crux3. (all ended with .cit.cornell.edu. eg crux2.cit.cornell.edu)
For CS undergrad, you can try sunlab.cit.cornell.edu.

Apart from fingering at qi.cornell.edu, there're at least 2 other ways
to contact a person in Cornell:

1)	telnet cornellc.cit.cornell.edu 300
	to get their phone # and addresses
	type "directory". follow the instruction.
	But you cannot get their email addresses in this way.

2)	mail NAME@cornell.edu
	where NAME is first name, last name or first name + last name...
	eg suppose your friend is called Bill Clinton, try:
		mail clinton@cornell.edu  or
		mail bill@cornell.edu  or better yet
		mail bill_clinton@cornell.edu
	If there is only 1 Bill Clinton, you mail will reach him. If
	there're more than 1, your mail will bounce back with a list of
	all Bill Clinton's and their email addresses.

By the way, could somebody update the Cornell entry in FAQ. I read the
FAQ some time ago. It described it's very difficult to find out the
email addresses of students in Cornell. Obviously that's not true. I'm
not sure if it's been updated already. I don't read this newsgroup very
often.

For all of you who are looking for email addresses, I will post this once,
here, and maybe somebody will add it to a faq.

There is a service available over internet, called "WHOIS."

This service allows you to look up people, places, machines, etc... that
are connected to the internet.  

You telnet to one of the machines listed below, and type "whois" at the 
prompt.  Then, you enter the name of the university or organization that
you are looking for, and it will tell you the machine name.

Example:

Whois> Idaho State University

returns:

ISU.EDU

Then type:

Whois> ISU.EDU

and it will tell you who the administrative, and technical contacts are for
that site.  Send email to the technical contact, and maybe they will be nice
enough to give you the information you are looking for, including whether a
student has an account, and what their email address is.

Some sites that have WHOIS servers are:

syr.edu
acfcluster.nyu.edu
ucsd.edu
stanford.edu
nic.ddn.mil

Additionally, if none of these work for you, you can FTP to sipb.mit.edu and
snatch the file 'whois-servers.list' from the 'pub/whois' directory.  It's a
pretty handy way of finding people.

Oh boy. Well I wish this school had a bit more leniant (sp) of most of
their policies, especially alcohol. Western Illinois University
(translated to middle of nowhere) in their infinite wisdom feels that we
are to be an alcohol free campus. Of course the reality of it is quite
different. In the dorms, I mean residence halls, you are allowed to only
possess alcohol if you are: 1) 21 or older, 2) in an upper class dorm
(Underclass do not allow it no matter what), 3) it is in a room with a
closed door. The last one is because alcohol is not allowed on any
public area on campus at all. If your door is open it is allowing the
public access to your room. This also means none is allowed at Football
games or other sporting events and the like. Of course in their
wonderful one way thinking, the administration and certain amounts of
their approved functions allow alcohol to be served by their approved
people from their approved stock meaning it's their money.

Boy, NMSU isn't far away and rather in the middle of nowhere too. Had a
few good times partying their with some friends a few years back. Boy

  At Clemson University, the University operates its own ESSEX service.  All res.
halls have two phone jacks installed.  Each student is given an authorization code,
which is used in long distance calls.  There is no charge for local service, including
ring-back, call waiting, and call forwarding.  Long-distance service is handled by 
a contractor, or you can use your own long-distance carrier with a phone-card (like
AT&T).  You may make long-distance calls from any phone on campus, and have it charged
to your account by using the authorization code.
  Monthly, the University sends statements to students detailing the phone usage.  
Only long-distance calls are charged to the account, and they are at a discount rate
the University negotiates for a bulk-slot of calls.  The service is just above-average,
but during non-office hours, you have to be satisfied with a student-staff member to 
help you if you have trouble.

    I had heard this topic raised on the radio one day, and one person
said that the family had saved and saved, not taking fancy vacations,
etc. and ended up not getting any financial assistance, whereas someone
who spent the money and didn't save did get financial assistance.

     They thought this was unfair.  Now, admittedly, by saving, the
child does graduate debt free, which may mean something.  But considering
that loans are typically low interest, and considering that you have
ten years to pay it off, assuming you have a job, and assuming inflation
continues at some rate, then it will actually be cheaper to pay off the
debt afterwards than to save the money beforehand.  The only time saving
money beforehand might help is if an institution is not need-blind.
In this case,  admission might be determined on the applicant's
ability to pay.   The more prestigious schools don't usually have this
problem since they tend to be richer, but smaller private colleges
may have this problem.

    I do not know the resolution to this since the current method favors
debt.   Perhaps if those who aren't on finacial aid get to pay
a lower tuition whereas those who get aid, pay slightly higher
tuition, then this would at least make it seem fairer to those who save
money for college.

    I'm not really a financial aid whiz, so someone might point out
any errors in my reasoning.
