Students: ANQIE CAMPBEU. Staff Writer Start clipping those pizza coupons ? exams are just around the corner. According to a manager at Papa John's, students get hungry for pizza during exam week, especially around late night.

"Data would indicate not that much is accomplished when a person tries to stay up all night cramming," said Roger Bowersock, director of Counseling and Human Development.

The "free hours" are available at designated times of the day, per month. As such, students who spend several hours a day surfing the net may be attracted to the vendor contract. Terry emphasized that upgrading computing technology is an ongoing process.

Teny mentioned "working with housing and student affairs" to resolve financial details. As past campus networking costs were "absorbed" into basic fees and tuition, it would not take a propeller head to speculate that certain fee increases are well within the realm of possibility.
