Home pages link students
By Jack Birmingham Special to the Kansan
Many KU students may not know it, but creating their own World Wide Web page is free and easy to start.
"Anybody who has a falcon account can put up a home page," said Matt Angell, Topeka senior and Computer Center employee.
Angell is co-voice-president of the University of Kansas Campus Internet Association, which was created to inform the campus about resources available on the Internet. The association's home page can be accessed through KUfacts, the KU Online Information System. It contains instructions on how to start a World Wide Web page and links to most of the home pages of the KU community.
Angell said that the association originated from the Computer Center's need to display a list of home pages of KU students, faculty and staff. Angell and about seven other Computer Center employees designed the association's home page.
Although the association is the KU's official Internet association, it is not the only place at KU to start a World Wide Web page. The Computer Center offers weekly workshops on how to create home pages
"We've had tons of students come in wanting to learn how to (set up a home page)," said Adi Rosenblum, Overland Park senior and student trainer at the Computer Center.
and an introduction to the Internet workshop.
"It's just a good way for people to find out about fellow students," said Brenden Ripple, Wichita freshman.
World Wide Web pages serve many purposes. They are places to convey information, initiate discussion or just meet new people.
Rice's page is entitled "Brenden's World" and can be reached through the association's home page. "Brenden's World" contains information that is typical of many students' home pages. It has personal information, his resume, a picture of him and links to pages related to his interests.
"It's a way to show other people about me and my interests," Rosenblum said. "It became a hobby after a while."
Rosenblum advises that students become more knowledgeable about the information superhighway, regardless of whether they decide to start home pages.
"People should get more familiarized with computers and the Internet," he said. "That's going to be a big part of our business in the future."
