STUDENTS, ADMINISTRATORS MEET ABOUT INTERNET USAGE
Bill Klein (right), assistant director of networking and telecommunications services, discusses bandwidth issues with Aaron Weigel, Brookville sophomore in a meeting between residence hall students and Network and Telecommunications Services administrators at the conference room in McCollum Hall.
The University of Kansas recently bought more network capacity, or bandwidth, on its connection to the Internet. Weigel said he could tell his Internet connection was faster since the purchase. At the meeting Anne Ermey, ResNet coordinator, said the University was looking at a possible rate increase for Internet access next year. She said the proceeds could be used to buy more bandwidth and speed up students' connections.
Ermey said that, even with additional bandwidth, the restrictions on file transfers would not be lifted. In November, the University decided to limit students usage of certain programs that used a lot of bandwidth."A lot of the sites we limited are illegal and the material is copyrighted," she said.
Ermey said ResNet planned to conduct an online survey at the end of the year, so students could give feedback about a possible rate increase and other issues.

Students plot, execute roommate revenge
By Jessica Tims Kansan staff writer
As the end of the semester draws near and residents halls close and leases expire, some students part with roommates with tears and heavy hearts.
But others are happy to end their cohabitation. So happy in fact that some said they plotted revenge on the stress-inducing roommates who cost them their sanity.
James Elliot, Leavenworth sophomore, said he would seve revenge on his roommate soon. Elliot said he would get even with his roommate for charging him $85 for water damaged books that the bookstores would no longer buy back.
Elliot, who is also a firefighter, said he was planning on using a revenge tactic used in the firehouse against dispatchers who pull pranks on the firemen.
"He may end up duct taped to a chair or a
Namukolo Chinoge, Lawrence sophomore, said she had never done anything to her roommate, but a friend had.
"She was tired of her roommate coming home late, bringing her boys home," she said. "So she watered the bed so it looked like someone peed in it."
The soaked bed was blamed on a leak in the ceiling, Chinoge said.
Christina Kuhn, Mulvane junior, sought revenge after she learned that a former roommate had sex on her bed when she was out of town for the weekend. She said she found out by reading an instant message her roommate sent the guv she had sex with.
"I was so mad about it that we had a bunch of friends over, and we decided to have one of our guy friends get busy with himself on her bed," she said. "He came out laughing, because he got it on her pillow. It was so obvious that we had to blow it dry with a blow driver."
Kuhn said the prank took an unexpected turn when the roommate stayed home alone that night.
"We came home and she said 'You guys are so lucky you were gone. This car alarm was going off all night, and I had to cover my face with my pillow,'" she said.
Marty McSorley, St. Louis sophomore said a friend had a bad roommate, but didn't have the opportunity to seek revenge.
"While my friend was gone his roommate took all of his stuff and pawned it. He only left the things in the closet," he said. "Then he took his car on a two-day joy ride. They found his car a few days later with bald tires. They never found the roommate. He skipped town."
