If students at Del Mar College feel the need to swap stories on Myspace — and chances are that they will — they’ll have to go off campus to do so. The institution, a community college in Texas, has prohibited computers on the campus network from visiting the popular social-networking site.
Del Mar officials say their decision wasn’t a judgment on Myspace: It was a move made to preserve bandwidth. A whopping 40 percent of the college’s daily Internet traffic involved Myspace, and campus administrators said the site was threatening Del Mar’s plans to expand its Web-based instruction.
