James,

The problems you are experiencing getting students involved 
in any kind of activity aren't limited to computer campuses.  
Southern Arkansas University is a small 4-year school (with 
some master's programs) of about 2500 students, 900 of whom 
live on campus.  As sponsor of a student writers' club, I 
have a hard time getting students involved, even when they 
say they want to be involved.  We have an annual writing 
contest in which cash prizes are awarded and still haven't 
developed an interested following even in the fourth year of 
the contest.  We also have an annual literary publication 
that comes out of the contest.  Every year I have to go to 
the same effort to get students involved.  And most of my 
faculty colleagues probably don't even know the contest or 
the publication exists.  I would love to hear some success 
stories.
