KU computer services for you!
Get your accounts for e-mail (free) or terminal server ($)
All KU students, faculty, and staff can get free accounts on KU multiuser systems. What this means is that you can use e-mail and access the Internet at no charge.
If you want to use e-mail, read Usenet news, and surf the Web with user friendly software, you may want to get an account on FALCON. Accounts on FALCON and on KUHUB are both free. You can do the same things on both systems, but computers like FALCON are more common—and a future employer might own such a system.
If you own your own computer and modem, and want to "dial-in" to
use computing resources, you'll also want a Terminal Server account. You'll have to pay a $30 fee (July '95 through June '96) for dial-in access. You may pay for your Terminal Server account at the Business Office in the Computer Center (Room 202).
How do you get these accounts? You can get them from a computer. If this sounds a little intimidating, you can come to the Computer Center lab, pick up a set of instructions, and (using any compn the lab) apply for the accounts you think you will need.
If you have computer access elsewhere—and access to Netscape, or other World Wide Web browser, you
can apply for e-mail and terminal server accounts at the URL:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/account.htm From Netscape, click on the open button and enter the URL. Fill in the blank boxes (remember to click in them first), scroll down to the bottom of each electronic page, and click the continue buttons.
Your e-mail account will be activated by 7 p.m. the day you apply. Terminal server accounts are usually activated at 7 p.m. the day you pay your fee ($30) at the Computer Center Business Office or at Networking and Telecommunications in Ellsworth Annex.

Come compute in the Herb Harris Student Computing Lab
Need to use a computer? The Herb Harris Student Computing Lab at the Computer Center never closes although sometimes computers in the lab are used for teaching workshops and hands-on seminars.
In the lab you'll find both Macintosh and IBM-compatible microcomputers. You are welcome to use either or both.
If you don't know which type of computer is best for you, just ask. If you have a friend with special computing expertise,ask your friend Or ask at the Customer Assistance Window in the south end of the main lab room. Computer Center staff will be glad to talk about what platform best meets your needs.
The Customer Assistance Window
is one of the best reasons to use the Computer Center lab. It is staffed from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.every night (until midnight on Sunday through Thursday). The people here can answer many questions and tell you how to get help with problems they can't solve. When the window is closed, the in Brief documents are available in the lab.
Your laser print card don't leave home without it
If you haven't discovered the importance of having your papers (and resumes) look good, come discover laser printing at the Computer Center. It's only 20¢ per page-a great deal when you price laser copies around town.
But you can't do it without a laser printing card from the Computer Center. Like copy cards from the library, you can purchase a plastic laser printing card for $1 from a vending machine in the Herb Harris Student Computing Lab in the Computer Center Lab (Room 202). You can add cash to prepay for laser printing with $1,$5,$10,and $20 bills.
Remember! The only way you can pay for laser printing at the Computer Center is with your laser card.
