Baby, You Can Drive My Car

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. A company called AlterNetRides has sold the university an Internet service that allows students to hook up with rides instead. Participating institutions, including Oregon, pay an annual fee of $200 for the service. (Oregon Daily Emerald)
