It's a little worse than has been described.  For an undergraduate,
not only are resources hard (read nearly impossible) to come by for
undirected use, resources required for course work are not always
adequate.  It's about 10:15 pm now, and the one vax that is available
for undergradate course work is "a little overloaded".  This is not
an environment for getting people interested in using Unix!

watrose       up  6+10:52,    40 users,  load 22.37, 19.03, 17.85

(The local (world?) record load average for rose (a 780) is over 80!)

I should be careful though.  There is obviously a great deal of space
between no use at all and complete freedom to do what you want.
Personally, I believe were further to the former than we should be, at
least in terms of undergraduate computing facilities.
