much bandwidth Napster use has
taken up in the University’s net
work. Hugi said while Napster is
being used, it is not taking up an
alarming amount of bandwidth.
“Napster is not eating us alive,”
she said.
Senior computer science major
Jake Jensen said recent Napster de
velopments have not been a big
topic among his friends, which he
suspects might be because people
do not know about the court rul
ing.
Unlike Coleman, Jensen said ru
mors about banned Napster users
signing back on to the service un
der a different name shortly after
being deleted might be unfounded
because of the difficulty.
“A lot of the people that were
banned were banned not so much
by name but by IP number,” he
said.
The IP number refers to the ad
dress on the Internet a given com
puter has. Thus, he said, just using
a different name is not the solution
and gaining access to Napster after
being banned might not be that
easy.
Coleman, however, said so far
users have not been banned by
their IPs but by their names, and
even if that should change, there
are many ways to regain access to
Napster’s services quickly, espe
cially if one uses University
modems or such Internet service
providers as AOL. He explained
that in those cases, one uses a dif
ferent modem every time he or she
logs on to the Internet.
He also said litigation against
Napster will not solve the prob
lems artists and the recording in
dustry claim are hurting them.
“Napster is going to go down
sooner or later,” he said. “But MP3
trading has been going on for years
— long before Napster came. ”

divides the lump sum for each
school based on its enrollment.
According to information released
by the Oregon Community College
Association (OCCA), the Oregon
University System received
$748.7 million, K-12 schools re
ceived $4.8 billion and communi
ty colleges received $431.2 million
for 1999 to 2001. Moskus said
community colleges might need as
much as $80 million more in their
budget in coming years to cover
their expected growth.
Vickie Chamberlain, the execu
tive director for the OCCA, said
the 4-percent rise in enrollment
this year translated into about
3,500 new full-time students at
tending community colleges, but
she said this amount is not accu
rate because it does not include
part-time students. Without the
budget increase, Chamberlain
said, 12 schools had to make budg
et cuts, even though she believed
there were “more than enough
funds” available in the emergency
fund.
Chamberlain said community
colleges may not get the $16 mil
lion requested because they don’t
carry as much political clout as K
12 schools, which received a $9.7
million increase in their budget for
this year from the emergency
board and were given $12 million
in reserve for next year. Politi
cians, she said, are more inclined
to listen to K-12 schools’ funding
requests because doing so garners
more votes than supporting com
munity colleges.
“It is very political because the
Legislature knows that K-12 is a
much sexier issue,” Chamberlain
said.
When the emergency board
makes its final decision concern
ing the request in June, Lewis said,
community colleges might receive
some additional funding. She said
if the schools did find themselves
in serious financial straits, they
could receive some money, but
they shouldn’t expect much if the
board does decide to grant some
additional funding.
“I’ll be honest,” she said, “It
won’t be $16 million.”
News brief
Fire victims seek apology
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — A
h'andful of homeowners dis
placed by a forest fire that raced
through the mountain communi
ty last week weren’t satisfied
with the explanation Thursday
from federal officials.
“They’re just saying, ‘Here’s
what happened.’ We already
know what happened — the
damned forest burned down,”
said Danne DeBacker, whose
home was destroyed.
Officials discussed how a fire
deliberately set by the Park Ser
vice to burn out brush ran out of
control and left 405 Los Alamos
families homeless.
Homeowners wanted to hear at
least an apology from top govern
ment officials for the still-burn
ing Cerro Grande Fire. They said
they don’t feel they got that apol
ogy.
