Students turn to the Web to find roommates, furniture, and dates. Now the University of Oregon hopes that they will go online to find a carpool. At Oregon, as at many other colleges, too many students are hunting for parking spaces on the campus.

Participating institutions, including Oregon, pay an annual fee of $200 for the service. (Oregon Daily Emerald)
