Dear list members,

The other day I was browsing the World Wide Web with Mosaic and found a
really interesting project.  A company out of Alexandria, VA is
developing a college search site where high school students can receive
free information about all US colleges in a user friendly format.  
Students can search a database and find colleges that best suit their
needs.  This sounded really inetersted to me so I called ICX, the company
that develops the system.

A person at ICX explained briefly what the project is all about, and I
was really impressed by the idea and the way the project was presented to
me.  If you are a college admission counselor in a high school or work at
the Admission office at a University it may be interesting to look at the
site and see if it could be useful for you.  Your students may be able to
make a more educated decision about their choice of colleges.  The WWW
address of ICX is http://www.usmall.com/  ; there choose Internet College
Exchange.  I believe the project is still not finished yet, but what I saw was
interesting.  I called ICX at 703-838-0282; the number is on the ICX home
page.

I hope this info will of assistance to some people on this group.

I will be working at Drew University fbeginning in mid- to  late-A
April. I want to sublet a place – apartment, flat, or house – for
the summer, until I get myself familair with the city.

Please e-mail me if you are interested in sub-letting your place
which would ideally be clean, bright, quiet, and reasonable
driving distance from Drew University.

Thanks,

Fuad.

Roger that.  I’m trying to locate a friend, and somebody told me that I
could check in this newsgroup for an e-mail listing.

Is there a central database where I can query e-mail addresses of any
student in a US college?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Simon.

A friend wrote me this about a mutual friend in the English
department at a school on the east coast, we will call him
John:

 John is another casualty of the graduate program,
but you at least (being a math major) can work for an
insurance company and make some serious money whereas
John can only teach at a less than wonderful college or try to
do something else entirely.  He hates the lesbian marxist
hegemony found in humanities departments throughout the
country and really can’t stand playing the ridiculous careerist
politics one is forced to engage in if one wants to make it in
English.  I say if you can’t or won’t play the game get the hell
out.  He really wants to teach but says that the English
department doesn’t teach one to teach people but instead
teaches one to be a critic, a marxist feminist critic at that.  No
divergence from theparty program is tolerated, all dissenters
must be expunged.  How’s that for  "politically correct?"  Damn
disgusting if you ask me.  It seems to me that the only people
who pay attention to the current post-structuralist crap are
academics, no one else, certainly not artists or musicians or
mathematitians or engineers or writers gives a rat turd about
Derrida, Foucault or any other misguided French intellectual
or the current critical fashion.  Whats the deal?  Is it science
envy in the humanities or just people who think too much trying
to make intellectual mountains out of molehills?  My impression
of Foucault is that he uses $2,000,000 sentences for ten cent
ideas.  If you get through the ridiculous language you realize he’s
not really saying anything profound, it just sounds that way.

You need a NEXIS lesson then; you’re either using the wrong database or
you have a lot more free time than I do if you were able to read through
the hundreds (thousands?) of articles that the search you suggest (which
I presume to be (HAZE OR HAZING) AND FRATERNIT!) will produce.

Try this search: WASHINGTON AND SHEEP AND FRATERNITY AND POLICE

Should be profitable.

Considering that people who’ve posted non-anonymously on this newsgroup
have been threatened with physical violence and mail-bombing of their
employer, it’s little wonder that reports end up being anonymous —
when intimidation tactics don’t succeed in suppressing them entirely.

Read some posts, Glenn.

I am looking for information about how different colleges use computers
in the areas of:

    Job placement (Career Development)

    Admissions

    Registration

    Academic Advising or Scheduling

If you have any information on how your college uses computers in these
areas to make them more effective or efficient you can send me an email at:

Thank you

Hello.  I am a student at University of California at Berkeley, currently
involved with a project that will require your help.  I am very much
interested in your lives, specifically dealing with racial
discrimination.  I would like submissions of your experiences with racial
discrimination.  What were the "first" experiences you remembered that
made you fully aware that the situation was based upon your race rather
than you as an individual?  How did it make you feel?  What kind of
conclusions did you draw up from this experience?  Did it change your
perspective of yourself?  If so, how did it?  Did it change your view of
the United States – the world/environment you live(d) in?  If so, how did
it?  I am interested in your experience.  Pretend as if you are writing
for yourself and not for an audience or for a specific reader.  My
current goal is to acquire many of your writings in order to put together
a sort of magazine that is a compilation of your racial experiences.  In
order that I may accomplish this goal, I require your help.  This
publication is purely for non-profit and purely pro-education purposes.  
I would like to publish this "journal" of your compilations and have the
public see your experiences in hopes of broadening their perceptions and
perspectives of life.  If you choose to submit your article, it will be
fully voluntary and non-profit.

The article need not by typed if you do not have access to a typewriter
or a word-processor, but I need to limit the number of words/pages of
your experience due to my own limitations.  The article should be legible
and a maximum of 2,000 words in English.  If you are interested in
receiving a
publication when it is completed, please note that somewhere in your
submission.  If you could also state your full name and your cultural
identity (racial identity) and from which newsgroup you saw this post and
your email address (which will be of strictest confidence), it would be
greatly appreciated.  I am also mostly interested in experiences in the
United States, but even if you are located outside of the United States,
please feel free to submit your personal experience.

I thank you all for your time and for your future submissions.

Please mail your experiences to:    Berkeley student
                                    ASUC Box 25
                                    Berkeley, CA 94720
