and money,” Edwards said, “so
time spent patching and cleaning
computers of worms and viruses
is time that could be spent on oth
er projects to benefit the students,
such as completing the wireless
network or upgrading the GEM
e-mail system.”
Edwards said that, ultimately,
students must help themselves
by preventing viruses from hit
ting their own computers. If ev
eryone were responsible for their
own computers, most problems
could be avoided, she said.
“Since we all share the uni
versity network and impact each
other, we’re o-nly as strong as
f'
ocrr weakest link,” Edwards
said. “It is going to require each
individual taking personal
responsibility.”

Chili
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“I can’t believe we used to do
that to people,” said Paul
Crescente, who’s been making
chili since he was 15. Changes in
awards from “Hottest Chili” to
“Best Hot Chili” led to the
friends toning down their recipe.
“This year we’ve just decided
to come out and make a nice
warm chili and have fun with
people,” Harper said. “We have
a bit of a following. Some like us,
some curse us, but they come
back year after year.”
The team started setting up
and having a good time at 8 a.m.,
they said, and served about 250 5
ounce servings before the judg
ing at 7 p.m.
This year each site submits
cups to tents, and it’s a blind
judging. Awards given included
Most Exotic, Best of the Hot,
People’s Choice and Best Overall,
which is based on who raises the
most money for the center.
At 6:45 p.m., the pirates over at
the Teach’s Hole Authentic Pirate
Chili — named for Blackbeard—
had raised $786.
One of the leaders of the booth,
who gave his name only as
Captain Tom, has been doing this
dressed in pirate attire for four
years.
“We spend a great deal of
e~
time and a great deal of money
and a great deal of attention just
for this specific day. This is
much like our Christmas,” said
Captain Tom, whose chili was
the only kind to feature octopus.
Official grill lighting didn’t
start till 10:30 a.m., but the pirates
had been on site since 6:30 a.m.
They did it “to situate our
selves across from the beer
truck,” Captain Tom said.
They also invested in tempo
rary tattoos to go along with the
chili as well as specially made
cups and new barrels for the
booth.

money to fund the program for a
few years. She plans to keep the
program around for a while and
see how much USC students like
it. If the need arises, she says,
funding can be easily secured for
the program through a mere $1 tu
ition increase in an upcoming
— year.
The readership program began
in 1997 at Penn State after the
university’s president expressed
concern that the students were liv
ing in an information vacuum and
were out of touch with local, state,
national and international news.
He then went to USA Today to
start a readership program that
would be based on three princi
ples: The papers would be in loca
tions that are accessible to stu
dents, the papers would be free and
there would be a choice of papers.
The program was a success,
and others soon showed interest.
Eventually it spread to the more
than 300 campuses on which it
exists today.
“College students are the fu
ture leaders of America, and in
this modern-day world, where
even faraway events can have an
immediate impact on our lives, it
is important that these future
leaders are up to speed on what’s
occurring around them,”
Williams said.
