Faculty Senate Liaison James Lee said at the Senate meeting yesterday that the Faculty Senate discussed a block on MySpace in the computer labs.
I thought this was a great idea. The signs obviously aren't enough to keep people from browsing the Internet when other students need to do their work.
However, I went into the computer lab today and saw a few people on MySpace.
I bumped into Lee at the food court and asked him about it. He said that was just what he heard and didn't confirm whether it's true or not.
One senator at the meeting mentioned a Web site that can override a block onto another site.
It's possible that these students I saw did this. I'm not sure.
However, if the block isn't there, there needs to be one.
Though there are school-related MySpace pages such as Talon Marks, other clubs and an ASCC one (coming soon?), these are not the pages students are going to.
Students are looking at their friends' pictures while other students are waiting for open computers to write their term papers on.
A block on MySpace would be important, as well as YouTube and Facebook while the Faculty Senate is at it.
