Satellite glitches at KU wipe out Clinton address
By KC Trauer
Kansan staff write
Bill Clinton supporters at KU found out Friday that high-tech glitches can sabotage high-tech campaigning.
A test pattern wiped Clinton from the television screen soon after the Democratic presidential candidate began his satellite TV address to college students at more than 150 campuses around the nation including KU.
"We're in the Dole building. What did you expect?"
Jason McIntosh KU Students for Clinton coordinator
Clinton, who had
declared Friday to be National Students' Day, was to use the direct TV hook-up from Albuquerque, N.M., to tell students about his plans for higher education, which include starting a domestic peace corps for students who need money for college.
For the 60 students who packed into two rooms at the Dole Human Development Center to see Clinton on television, the satellite address was a way to hear Clinton's ideas without relying on the news media.
"I wanted to see something unfiltered," said Chad Parks, Ottawa junior. "I hate sound bites. All they show on the news is the candidates taking jabs at each other."
Students heard barely enough sound bites to constitute a Clinton-for-president appetizer.
For about 10 minutes, students saw Clinton greet University of New Mexico students and launch into his speech. When the test pattern appeared on the screen, students continued to listen to the audio portion until KU's satellite operators tried to pick up the speech from another satellite.
Operators could not find another satellite feed, and the event was called off.
Jason McIntosh, KU Students for Clinton coordinator,
said other campuses also lost the satellite feed but were able to pick it up again on another satellite.
McIntosh said Clinton probably would try to stage another satellite address close to election day.
McMtosh had his own opinion on what caused the technical difficulties: "We're in the Dole building. What did you expect?"
Library computers go down; out-of-date catalog put to use
By Stacy Morford Kansan staff writer
The KU library system's on-line computer catalog broke down yesterday morning, forcing students to dig through out-of-date catalogs and physically leaf through the library stacks for books.
"It was like this when we opened at noon," James Neeley, Watson Library reference librarian, said. "We can help in certain situations if they ask the right questions."
Neeley said the system failure affected on-line catalogs in Watson, Anschutz Science Library, the Art and Architecture Library in Spencer Museum of Art, the Spahr Engineering Library, the Government Documents Library in Malot Hall and the Music Library in Murphy Hall. Spencer Research Library was not open yesterday.
A Network Control Center staff member said the computer mainframe went down early yesterday.
She said she assumed that a part had come loose somewhere, but the reason had not been determined.
A logic board, which controls the main functions of the system, was flown in last night and the system was operating again just before 9 p.m.
"We've had one or two students freak out because they've had papers due and couldn't find what they needed," said Evan Swanson, Sharon Springs senior and periodicals student desk assistant.
"They can use the manual microform for titles, but that can't do subject searches, so we've been sending them down to reference."
Deborah Lee, Shawne freshman, planned to check out five books and copy four articles for a Greek Mythology class when she went to Watson Library yesterday.
"I thought I could just look things up and go and find them." Lee said. "Now I have to look it up subject by subject and there's no way to tell if it is checked out or on reserve."
