Scattered Snow High 40 Low 30 New Web site gives students a heads up BYU student Peter Knecht has established an independent Web site that gives students the chance to review courses and evaluate professors from various colleges and universities across the nation, including UVSC. BY DANIELLE WHITE OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF Alas! Professor Fabulous is now only a click away. BYU student Peter Knect (pronounced "connect") has officially launched his Campus Soapbox Web site today. The site, designed solely and independently by Knect, aids students in theclass-selection process by providing thousands of teacherprofessor evaluations from colleges across the nation. Knect began developing the site more than a year and a half ago after having a less-than-favorable experience with a class he had taken at BYU. "I sat in this class where the teacher just didn't communicate well and couldn't connect with his students," Knect said. "I couldn't get out of the class because it was already halfway through the semester, and so I ended up getting a poor grade despite working hard. It was such a bad experience. I studied over and beyond and still failed," he said. "It was such a waste of money. I paid to get a bad grade and then paid again to retake it. I invested time and tuition and wasted both. That's when I decided that there had to be a better way to go through college and get the most out of it." After trying to support a wife and baby with next-to-nil income, delving into life savings, and borrowing from family members, Campus Soapbox gained momentum when a partnership with Kiora Incorporating was formed. "Our sponsorships have really helped us get established statewide," Knect said. "Spanish 8 Theaters is working with us by providing free tickets for every four evaluations. . . . By next fall Campus Soapbox will be available to 120 more schools nationwide." Students can post e-mail messages about their school, refer friends, enter chat rooms with other students from different colleges and discuss current events, participate in polls, and get good deals on common products (such as food and entertainment) in addition to reviewing professors. "This is the first time students have had access to something like this that enables them to get information about specific departments, teachers, and courses offered on their specific campus," Knect said. "They can interact with other students through an ASQ (answering students' questions) Continued pg. 3 See "Evaluation" .

Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by and all I know of love is how to live without, I just can't seem to find it.
