February 8,1996 Western Carolinian Features Residence Hall Rewiring Project Will Provide \ "Port By Every Pillow" When the 1996 fall semester rolls around, students at Western Carolina University will find a "port by every pillow." That's because the university is now installing the wiring and electronic switching equipment that will give every student in every residence hall room the opportunity to connect to the campus computer network and to the Internet, the worldwide computer network. When the project is complete, all 1,770 residence hall rooms at WCU will have two ethernet data ports, which will connect student computers to the university's file servers and to the Internet. "We will be making available to our students the advanced technology that will enable them to communicate with students at any other campus connected to the Internet and to access data bases around the world," said Randy Rice, assistant vice chancellor for student development and director of housing. "Next fall, WCU students living in residence halls who have their own computers and who have obtained the proper connecting software and hardware will be able to cruise the information superhighway from their own rooms, making stops in such places as the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, the White House, and the NC General Assembly," Rice said. Students also will have the ability to communicate electronically, via e-mail, with parents and family back home and with friends around the world, as long as those family members and friends also have computers that are connected to the Internet. "Providing Internet connectivity within residence halls also will help alleviate ever-increasing demand on the university's existing computer resources—especially as more students seek access to the Internet," said Joel McKenzie, WCU computer center network manager. "This project will relieve some of the student demand we have for the use of resources in computer labs and other public areas by giving students the ability to work on computers and access the Internet in their own residence hall roomS," McKenzie said. Work crews are installing a high capacity wire which will accommodate the transmission of high-volume, high-speed data, including complex graphics. As part of the project, workers also are upgrading the wiring used for voice communication to give the university the potential for future telecommunications expansion. Work on the project began in early January and is expected to be complete by the fall semester. Students who plan to bring home computers to WCU and connect to the network are advised to wait until they arrive on campus before obtaining connectivity software packages. "We want to be sure the students get software and hardware that is compatible with the university network," McKenzie said. The wiring project is part of an ongoing campuswide technology improvement thrust at WCU. Crews have recently completed the installation of a new fiber-optics network linking campus computers, replacing an outdated co-axial cable system, and are also wiring every office and every classroom to allow computer connection to the campus network. Students who live off-campus have access to the campus network and the Internet through WCU Online, a subscriber service offered through MCI. Information contributed by OPI Black Mountain Artist Helps Promote Fine Arts Scholarship by Arch Stanton Contributing Writer Acclaimed Black Mountain artist Mary Parker will release her first series of prints in order to help raise funds for a WCU fine arts scholarship. According to department head Robert Godfrey, Western's art department is establishing the new scholarship to commemorate Parker's 90th year. Parker studied at the legendary Black Mountain College. She has taught for over thirty years at two different colleges: Colby-Sawyer and Calfin. Her art has been exhibited extensively throughout the Northeast. Upon her return to North Carolina in the early '80s, she donated many of her drawings and paintings to Western's art department. Parker will be signing 200 prints of her work at Zone One Contemporary Gallery in Asheville on Friday, March 1. Each print will be sold for $200. Proceeds will benefit the Mary Parker Fine Arts Scholarship Endowment and the Black Mountain College Museum and Art Center Exhibition Fund. The scholarship, which may be offered by the fall of '97, will be an award of $2,000 to $2,500 per year. Applicants will be chosen by interviews and portfolio reviews. 1 The cast of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" at a dress rehearsal. The play will run through Saturday, February 10.
