Dorm 'room rats' spawned by cable tv (CPS)—There are 2,900 students at Mansfield University in Pennsyl vania, but not many of them are ven turing out to join student activities any more. They aren’t even getting as far from their dorm rooms as the tv lounge. They are, some college officials believe, harbingers of a new breed of student being hatched nationwide, Uie accidental result of the arrival of cable television and microcomputers on America’s campuses: the “room rat.” “Numbers of students who stay in their rooms—^room rat—seem to be on the rise,” said Joseph A. Maresco, MU’s vice president for student af fairs. Other well-wired campuses report similar problems getting students away from their dorm room computers and MTV and out to join intramural, student government and other activi ties, but tiiey seem to be taking it less seriously than Mansfield is. Mansfield’s problem began in 1987, when it became the first campus in Pennsylvania 14-member State System of Higher Education to install cable tv hookups in each room. The rooms also connect students to voice mail and the university’s Mainframe computer system. Last year an estimated 35 percent of MU’s 800 dorm residents brought a tv with them, and a smaller number brought their computers with them, too. The result was the birth of the room rat. “We first noticed the impact in the tv lounges,” Maresco said. “They used to be the focal point for students. All of a sudden they weren’t. Then we noticed there wasn’t the same degree of interac-tion among students on each floor.” Deb Nowicki, a resident adviser at Mansfield, noticed her students’ be havior changed, though not as se verely as Maresco claimed. “They more or less stay on the floor, but they do get out of their rooms,” she said. “This is a sign of things to come,” Maresco said. “It’s inevitable that many campuses will face this phe nomenon in the future because stu dents are basically the same every where.” Already, cable tv is in high de mand among students. The univer sities of Miami, Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky, South Carolina, Michigan, West Florida, as well as Stanford and Marquette universities, among scores of others, have brought cable pro gramming to students in recent years. Others like Clarkson University, Stevens Institute of Technology and Texas A&M University have, like Mansfield, re-wired their dorms to let students plug their computers into campus-wide networks. Yet few have noticed—or will ad mit to noticing—that die new tech nologies may have changed students’ social habits. “There will always be that per centage of students who won’t come out (of their dorm rooms),” said Bob Clay, University of Kentucky’s dorm director. At Northwest Missouri State Uni versity (NMSU), which claims to be “the first electronic campus” in the U.S.,” “there are some reports that students are spending a great deal of time in their rooms on the computer,” said Dean of Students Phil Hayes. “But if it wasn’t there, they’d be doing the same thing in the hbrary,” Hayes speculated. Students also don’t seem too alarmed by the phenomenon. Mans field sophomore Matt Watkins re ported, “You can just walk by (a dorm room) and hear a tv and four or five people. But there are enough other things to do thanjustsitand watch tv.” NMSU students can use tiieir dorm computers to write, communicate on an electronic mail system, read the student newspaper and consult an encyclopedia and dictionary, but “students don’t spend a lot of time in their rooms,” said NMSU sophomore Greg Thompson. “I would hope, though, that if (a room rat) pattern is emerging, an RA would identify the person so that someone could talk to him,” Hayes said.
