For life. •DAT li a registered trademark of the American Dental Association, i Online continued from page 1 term of his freshman year, mostly to keep in contact with his long-dis tance girlfriend of the time. “That term, I was joined at the hip with my computer,” he said. But Carlson also admits to using minutes online to communicate with people that didn’t necessarily have a different zip code. “I’d ‘I-M’ people down the hall because I was so lazy,” he said. But long chatting sessions and hours of e-mailing are only a part of the Internet faze. The Web also of fers free music from Napster, news groups and search engines such as Yahoo! that eat up the time of stu dents who have easy Internet access from their rooms. Brian Matson, a sophomore mul timedia major who has lived in the residence halls for two years, said the Ethernet hook-up makes it twice as easy to quickly download music and movie clips and search for in formation. He added that because the access is so fast in comparison to dial-up modems, it also serves as a tempting distraction from other tasks such as homework. Students also find the fast access convenient for classes. About 59 percent of all college courses now utilize e-mail, up from 20 percent in 1995, according to the 2000 Cam pus Computing Survey. Similarly, almost 43 percent of college courses now use Web resources as a compo nent of the syllabus, up from 10.9 percent in 1995. Besides the residence halls, other common forms of access are grant ed through the library, computer lab, or free dial-in connection. Kenneth Green, founder of the Campus Computing Survey, said many institutions offer students free and fast Internet access because the Web has evolved from a luxury to a necessity in recent years. “This trend just parallels what’s going on all over the world,” he said. “Students can communicate with other students, faculty members and researchers, and they have access that would be impossible years ago. ” But although the majority of freshmen live in the residence halls their first year and are introduced to the wonders of the Ethernet connec tion, moving out brings the chal lenge of satisfying the Internet hunger by other means. Sophomore history major Jordan McDaniels who now dials-in through the University, said she sometimes misses the fast Internet service she had when she lived in the residence halls. She added that last year, she spent about 2-3 hours a day online, and now barely spends an hour a day. Carlson had a high-speed con nection sophomore year when he lived in Ducks Village, and current ly stays connected through a com mercial provider. He said he proba bly spends about an hour a day online to quickly do research for classes and trips, download music, e-mail and chat. “I’m just an Internet junkie,” he said. Budget continued from page 1 getting less services. He said both the budget propos als include a tuition hike, but only for the purpose of filling holes in other areas of the state budget. Wykoff supported an idea of a tu ition increase, but only for improv ing higher education. The current plans, he said, only used students’ money as a cash cow for floating other state programs. “Are students going to be paying to be subsidizing another state budget?” he asked, in regard to the current budget proposals. Tim Young, a student represen tative on the State Board of Higher Education, said he has been con sistently displeased with the budg et process. He said the state needs to commit resources to higher edu cation, or it will face losing its best and brightest to other states. While Young did not specifically criticize the budget decisions, he did say there needs to be a greater empha sis on funding the OUS. “If the state doesn’t give enough resources, the whole system will collapse,” he said.
