After playing with this for an hour, I have realized what the problem is. Everything works fine when it is a "one-shot" event (that is, an event without a reoccurrence). If I add a one-shot event, and then sync with Google, there are no problems on the school computer. BUT if I add a reoccurring event, at first there are no problems, but as soon as I sync with Google, then the event gets moved up five hours on the school computer. All other one-shot events are at their proper times.

Here's the event when I create it in Kalendar:

BEGIN:VEVENT

Here is the event after it syncs up with Google:

Again, it should be noted that the computer running KDE 3.5.7 does not have any problems. So is it just because I have a slightly older version of Kontact on the school computer? I think I am just going to copy and paste the reoccurring event that I need and hope that the next upgrade after the semester fixes it.
