This is not entirely true..playing DOOM in NETWORK mode is banned...some
departments have banned Doom altogether, but playing the game in single
user mode is not banned, as long as it is played after normal work
hours...so after 5pm, the game can be played.  Some have gone as far as
setting up their own little network and playing it, that way, it doesn't
interfere with the campus network.

	I was told that if you were caught playing DOOM, there went
your account.  That's all.  I talked to one of the consultants to find
out why.
