It's not to any chemically induced high and not to the rush of adrenaline after finishing a race. Students are addicted to the Internet. University account holders have access to computers across campus, from private offices to more publicly accessible clusters in Kingsbury, McConnell, the MUB and Hamilton Smith. And numerous students access their accounts from computers located off campus. Llolsten Kaonga, a CIS aide stationed in Kingsbury Hall who works mostly evenings, said the clusters during these hours are usually standing room only.
Many students use the Internet to complete homework assignments or conduct research.
Junior English major Jonathan Buttrick agreed. There's just so much stuff. Others, like Kaonga, use the Internet to maintain their own Web page. Kaonga, a Malawi native, has devoted an extensive page to educate World Wide Web visitors about his country. His site includes photographs and descriptions of everything from laws to history.
