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.

* lege of engineering. A native of Valencia, Calif., Scott is a member of the Society of
Manufacturing Engineers, belongs to Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, and works at the BU

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.”

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.

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.
