INITIATIVES: University conveniences to come
INITIATIVES:
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The recommendation will require Provost David Shulenburger's approval in the spring.
A referendum for a University-wide file-sharing program is a possibility for next spring's Student Senate elections.
File-sharing
The Student Senate File-sharing Task Force is collaborating with Information Services to determine which file-sharing company would best suit the University's needs, said task force member Lauren Pierson, Prairie Village sophomore.
The purpose of a file-sharing program, Pierson said, is to
deter students from downloading illegally.
Among programs the task force is considering are those compatible with Mac and PC operating systems and that have large music libraries, Pierson said. Companies under consideration include Ruckus, Napster and iTunes.
To pay for a file-sharing program, a new student fee would have to be added. Pierson said the task force and Information Services currently were starting the bidding process with companies. She didn't have an estimate of the price of a file-sharing program.
Online Course Evaluations
Student-friendly evaluations
for classes and faculty are available again this semester through the KU Web site. These evaluations let students rate courses and faculty and view students' opinions from previous semesters.
The evaluations were new last spring, but in most classes less than 60 percent of the class submitted evaluations, which limits the value of the evaluations, said Steve Munch, student body president.
Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, said he looked at the course evaluations for essential reading requirements and attendance policy when deciding his schedule for the spring semester.
Each evaluation asks 10 questions about the quality and instruction of the course. Evaluations can be submitted for all courses currently enrolled and are available from now until Dec. 20.
Students will have another opportunity to submit evaluations this semester.
Course evaluations are accessible through the KU Web site. Click "C," go to "Course evaluations" and then log in using your online ID and password.
Wireless Campus
Basketball campers still don't have access to wireless Internet, and Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for Information Services, said she couldn't estimate when it would be ready.
Wireless access was scheduled to be ready before the first home basketball game, Nov. 19.
Goodyear said Networking
and Telecommunications Services employees encountered compatibility problems Friday between Allen Fieldhouse's security system and wireless access. She said NTS was investigating the problem and would continue to work on installation during winter break.
When wireless Internet is installed, it will not be running continuously in the fieldhouse, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. He said wireless Internet would be turned off when students weren't camping.
"Our number one concern is the security of our system," Marchiony said.
Department would pay for a monthly cost to run wireless Internet because it was important to students.
Student Senate paid for installation of the wireless Internet using student fees.
Marchiony said the Athletics
Marchiony also asked a favor of KU students. He wanted students to stand on the floor instead of the benches during basketball games. He said having wireless access in the fieldhouse would amass student support for the Athletics Department's wishes.
Wireless Internet access is available in Anschutz Library, Budig Hall, Eaton Hall, the lawn in front of Fraser, Green Hall, Kansas Union, JRP Hall, Marvin Hall, Snow Hall, Spahr Engineering Library, Watson Library, Wescoe Hall, Stauffer Flint Hall and The Underground.
