That's irrelevant.  My laptop is registered with UofA's "highly secure"
wireless network, so all that needs to be done to let anyone else access the
WiFi is to set up an iptables rule to allow other computers connected to my
computer to masquerade as my computer over the network.  Indeed, quite
trivial, as you said.

Regarding the desire to use landlines, the Park Student Union has lots of
Ethernet wall jacks on the second level that, to the extent of my knowledge,
are publicly accessible.  I can bring a 4-port router, if needed.

Also, regarding the desire to create a TFUG club at the UofA, I, too, am a
student, and can be an officer if needed.
