News Editor The Coulter Faculty Center is set to open the $203,642 Collaborative Advanced Technology Center (CATC) in early December, bringing high-level audio and video technology to faculty and students. The center features nine workstations where users will interface with some of the most advanced digital video and audio equipment available. "The purpose is to provide advanced technological hardware and software to allow faculty and students to work with new technologies in these fields," said Bob Orr, head of the project team developing the CATC. "It is for small groups of students working with faculty members." Orr said Chancellor Bardo put the idea on the table in 1998, and various faculty technical committees picked up and ran with the idea of bringing multimedia capabilities, animation, and high-end graphics together in a classroom setting. Orr's project team was formed to develop the CATC and ensure software standardization. Student Michael Davis utilizes the advanced tec located in Hunter Library. The lab is scheduled The computers workstations include Macintosh G3s and Silicon Graphics units that allow the linkage of two computers to solve one problem. This will enable three- dimensional graphics, molecular modeling, photo by Jeffrey Sykes hnology available in the new multimedia center to be fully operational in December animation, and three-dimensional geographical mapping. The audio component is also digital and powered by top of the line Polk Audio speakers. Music professor Bruce Frazier and stu dent Michael Davis are completing a month-long project combining video montages and live musical performance, "Media in Music Production," which will be presented 8 pm Thursday, Nov. 4, in the Coulter Recital Hall. "I would not have been able to do this project without this technology," Frazier said. "The types of montages we are building require the use of computers to expedite and do the technical things we can't do using analog video." Echoing the collaborative emphasis, Frasier added, "This is an interdisciplinary project between music and Communication Media and Electronic Arts." The College of Education's Bob Houghton uses the CATC to help students fulfill the technology standards component required for licensure as a teacher. "One requirement is for them to do video work. We still don't have the technology to allow students to do what we do in here," Hoghton said. "To me this is a springboard to get this technology into the hands of students." The CATC is run by the Coulter Faculty Center to facilitate scheduling. Students will have access to the lab scheduling time through a professor. SGA to Re-Examine 24-Hour Visitation Resolution passed on message marquee regulation President Carter Citizenship Conference Set for Thursday by Dawn Pasley Staff Writer The SGA Senate met Monday and discussed the formation of an ad hoc committee to investigate 24-hour visitation in the residence halls. Near the end of the meeting, SGA Vice-President Joe Cowan asked the Senate for volunteers to form the ad hoc committee. Approximately nine senators volunteered, and the committee will be formally appointed at next Monday's Senate meeting. Cowan stated, "We will have them look into the various aspects of 24-hour visitation, why it has failed in the past, and see if we can get a resolution to pass this year." At present, according to the Housing Department's information handbook, students are permitted to have visitors of the opposite sex in their rooms from noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and from noon to 2 am on Friday and Saturday. When asked about the concern about 24-hour visitation, Cowan commented, "It is usually the number one issue when you ask students, so it is definitely worth looking into." According to Dr. Robert Caruso, vice-chancellor for student affairs, there is no administrative stance on 24-hour visitation. Said Caruso of the current visitation policy, "I think students are entitled to challenge it, look at it, and propose alternatives." Senate Resolution 2008 was also brought up for discussion and passed unanimously, The resolution, which was sponsored by Senator Scott Jarvis, SGA vice-president Joe Cowan, and Senators Chris Ertel, Seth Sams, and Zach Edwardson, proposed that the new public announcement marquee sign at the Wachovia intersection be either dimmed or turned off at 9pm nightly. Students have complained of impaired vision due to the sign's excessive brightness. The sponsoring senators were concerned about the safety of drivers and pedestrians at the intersection. "I'm surprised that there hasn't already been an accident because of the glare and brightness of that sign," stated Senator Zach Edwardson. "I hope that this resolution will solve the problem." by Don Costello Editor-in-Chief Jimmy Carter's post-presiden tial career has been called the "unfinished presidency" because of his unending work around the globe to promote human rights, democracy and citizenship. Presi dent Carter's legacy in terms of promot- ing citizenship will be the focus of Thursday's conference, "President Jimmy Carter and the Public Interest: Is it time to renew citizenship, democracy, and responsibility in Keynote speaker Dr. Steven Hochman America?" beginning at noon in the auxiliary gymnasium at the Ramsey Center. The conference, sponsored by the Public Policy Institute (PPI) and the Western Carolinian, will include a luncheon, faculty presentations, a keynote address and student policy panels. Dr. Steven Hochman, assistant to President Carter at the Carter Center in Atlanta, will give the keynote address beginning at 3 pm. The topic of the address will be the programs and priorities of President Carter and the Carter Center. A noted expert on Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Carter, Continued on page 4
