In its second annual survey, YAHOO Internet Life magazine <http://www.yil.com> named the University of Oregon <http://www.uoregon.edu> ninth on the list of "America's 100 Most Wired Colleges." More than 400 schools participated in the survey that compiled information on campus-wide networks, e-mail accounts, Internet and World Wide Web access, classes with on-line material and assignments, computer labs and related factors. "This is very high praise for our system; we received it because of our continued dedication to staying at the forefront of campuses using computer technology," says Dale Smith, University Computing assistant director for network services. "Our faculty are increasingly integrating on-line materials into their teaching, and every one of our 1,800 dorm rooms has two fast Internet connections." YAHOO Internet Life is available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, April 14. SOURCE: Dale Smith, UO assistant director for network services, (541) 346-1745; e-mail <dsmith@ns.uoregon.edu>.
