'Office per- Editorial We Need More Computers! Use Your Voice to Make a Difference! Blake Frizzell Editor-in-Chief I am currently taking a desktop publishing class in which each class member has to reserve two hours per week outside of class for lab time. This is due to the fact that the only computer with enough memory and the software to run the programs we are using is in the professor's office. This presents many problems. Students in our class are using the computer in the professor's office during almost every available free hour he has.- This is not only an extra hassle for the students, but most certainly for the professor, who cannot possibly have a free moment of time during the day when a student is not using his computer. How is he supposed to get any real work accomplished in this environment? Months before this situation became obvious to me, I was informed of a computer survey that the Cap Center and the Housing Department jointly put together. The survey was distributed to some 3,000 on-campus students, and was answered with a 37-38% rate of return. Unfortunately, the survey results haven't reached my hands as of yet, but I am still trying. I decided to try distributing a survey of my own and the results were not extraordinary. Keep in mind that my survey involved only 20 persons, while the previous one involved approximately 900+. The results are as follows: 20 Student Respondents 17 Seniors, 2 Juniors; One person didn't know what year they were in 9 Own their own computer; 6 IBM, 3 Macintosh Majors: 7 English, 7 Communications, 6 Radio and Television 15 Had taken a computer class(es) at WCU 8 Found the class helpful 14 Use computers for their classes 20 Expect to use computers for their careers after graduation 5 Were familiar with information on the VAX 2 Hadn't used a computer this year 5 Think there are adequate facilities on campus 8 Think they have convenient access to computers Skill level: 5 beginners; 13 intermediate; 2 expert Hours Per Week Using Computer: 5 persons: 10+hours; 7 persons: 5 -10 hours; 6 persons: 1-5 hours Places students would most like to have computer accessibility: 1. Residence Hall 2. Classroom building 3. Hunter Library 4. University Center What shocked me was that most people who took part in the survey did not own their own computer. What did not surprise me was that most of these seniors thought they had intermediate computer experience. With the lack of accessibility and lack of new technology with most of the computers on campus, it is no surprise that rrost seniors graduating do not have the computer skills needed in the work place (these students are in majors in which computers should be in heavy emphasis in the programs). In fact, the two persons who responded with expert knowledge on numerous computer programs were newspaper staff members. No surprise there, considering our technology. I called a couple of persons in reference to my editorial, and what I found out surprised me. Ready to crucify the faculty for not trying to get more computers, I was excited by what I heard. Not only are different departments trying to obtain grants for new computer labs, but the school is in the process of connecting every building, including the dorms, with a fiber optic network which would would give VAX access without a modem to those with computers. Apparently the university is paying for the cables and fhe housing department is paying for the connection. In fact, when the buildings such as Belk and the University Center are completely remodeled, they will be connected to this network. A lot of buildings on campus are already connected to this system. The English department, among other departments who are proposing similar goals, has a new proposal to create a new classroom in the fall complete with 26 computer workstations. The grant, which would have to be approved by all university departments, including NC state's board of education , would total approximately $112,000. The grant has to be approved by administrators in this university as well as in the state legislature, so it could take some time, but would be well worth it. I know now that many faculty members are working hard to eliminate our obsolete equipment, including the wholehearted support of several Deans. However, I have some suggestions that might improve the amount of computers students have, and the education which would be involved. These are merely proposals, and I realize that it might take a while before some of these suggestions would go into effect, but I would like to put my two cents in. I am currently applying to graduate school. Almost all the schools require that all in-coming students have a basic computer system, nothing fancy. I think this is an excellent idea. WCU could strike up a deal with computer companies for bulk buying, which would mean less expensive prices for students. The buyers could even be on a four year payment plan, which would make it easier for students to come up with the funds for the equipment. Departments should also integrate computer classes much more heavily within the curriculum for a degree, besides the CS 101 class (which, by the way, needs to be improved). Seniors leaving this university, no matter what their major, need to be highly experienced with computers in a variety of programs, and especially the Internet. We need to be proud of our graduates, not worried if they can keep up with the rest of the high- tech world. / realize this ed. is a bit mellozv compared to my usual style, bint don't worry, the real Blake will return next week with a vengeance. Editor's note: A highly esteemed professor informed me that there were several mistakes in Chancellor Wakeley's letter that he could not believe were the fault of the Chancellor. In an effort to protect the paper, I denied that we had anything to do with it. Afterfurther examinization, I realized that the mistakes in Wakeley's letter were indeed a result of scanner errors. I offer a sincere apology to Dr. Wakeley and the professor (thank you for bringing it to my attention). | 1 This week's reason . for partying: Groundhog Day, .
