! UNIVERSITY SPONSORS INTERNET ADDICTION WORKSHOP
! The University of Texas at Austin's Counseling and Mental Health Center has
! sponsored a workshop on Internet addiction.  One attendee's father made her
! leave her modem at home when she left for college, but she admits she sneaks
! around and borrows her friends'.  Only six students turned out for the
! program, but a counselor attributed the low turnout to the use of the word
! "addiction" in the workshop title.  "Next time we probably wouldn't word it
! that way," she says. (Chronicle of Higher Education 20 Oct 95 A21)
