I'm quite a neophyte at this usenet stuff, but it seems to me that first you
might read the usenet maps for the geographical area in which your friend is
studying. One you learn the machine name of his university's machine(s), you
will also learn the name of that machine's administrator, as in:
	college!bigshot
So write to college!bigshot and ask if there's a login name there for your
friend littleshot, in which case you've got his address, college!littleshot.
