Meet the staff of Steamtunnels Tuyen Truong, Director of Web Development Tuyen is a recent graduate of Stanford University, where he majored in biologi cal science. An avid entrepreneur, Tuyen is one of the founders of the original Steamtunnels web site at Stanford University. He lived in Atlanta prior to attending college, and is now making plans to make San Francisco his home. Tuyen has already been accepted to several I medical schools, but is deferring his acceptance for 3 years so ' that he can head up the development of the Steamtunnels web site. When he is not working on Steamtunnels, Tuyen can be seen mountain biking around the Bay area, clubbing in San Francisco and soaking up the California sunshine.

Scott is one of our most productive campus reps, and is clearly enjoying his work at Steamtunnels: “Steamtunnels.net is a great home page—not only are campus, city, and nighttime events posted daily, but so are links for all sorts of really informative college related web pages.” Steamed? Let us know about it—write to editor@steamtunnels.net Your biased presentation of presidentmatch.com and selectsmart.com/PRESIDENT in your Voting section [Web reviews, Feb. 2000; find them at www.steamtunnels.net/webguide] is obvious and offensive. What gives you the right to imply that fringe candidates are bad and mainstream is good? If you are going to present information, how about doing it in an objective and unbiased manner? I, for one, would all appreciate it. None of your other blurbs are biased. Ba zooki bazooki@yahoo.com Hey I just want to say that I love your magazine and I read it all the time. I attend Florida State University and there is a new entertainment web site here called seminoleEMPIRE.com. It has great satirical articles and jokes.
