...become popular to refer to our unsuccessful youthful dalliances as "learning experiences." They are hardly so inconsequential. The people we meet now could be our best shots at true happiness.

Some people have what the computer literate refer to as a "stalk script" to let them know when their friends are logged on. That's fine, but the choice to make that information public should be the student's and not the University's.
