1. Get a job at Goodman Hall (where the IT branch and computer lab is located).

2. Ask the administrators if I can start up a Shoutcast server, accompanied by a college radio station.

3. Beg them for far more campus bandwidth than what we have right now (this long-running issue isn’t appreciated by most of the students here).

4. Ask the school newspaper if an online edition of The Stormy Petrel can be set up on Oglethorpe’s domain (as in http://stormypetrel.oglethorpe.edu, equipped with forums and RSS).

5. Also, we could use a university blog service, which could come with each student login/email account. I mean, Harvard has one…so why not? Plus, the faculty members get their own websites on OU’s domain, so at least the students could have a simple blog.

6. There is all possible reason in the world for this school to go Open Source (i.e.: converting all school computers from IE to Firefox, converting the servers and workstations to Linux [well, then again, that may be a bit too far of a leap since Windows still dominates in terms of sheer application, but I dunno…], and so forth).

7. Why doesn’t this school have an NNTP server?
