Les Dickert, a data communications manager at CSD, said if the Bates program is successful, other residence halls might get backbone connections. "If Bates goes well and housing decides that 'Yeah, this is a service we want to provide, and there is enough demand for it in the dorm rooms,' then we probably will be working with them to go about doing that," he said.

Modem access is slower than using a computer directly connected to the backbone, but the services provided are the same. Only 24 modems are currently linked to the mainframe. This means only 24 users can have modem access at any one time. CSD is working to increase the mainframe's dial-in capability. Students interested in getting dial-up access to the mainframe can call 544-HELP. Students who already use a modem to access on-line services such as Compuserve and America Online can often use on-line "bridges" that allow their users to use Internet e-mail. In some cases, other Internet services are even available through bridges. ?

It came silently in the night, and by next week it will be gone like it never existed. The State Fair is a fall traditior that rolled through the city for the 124th time like a wave and left all who came in contact with il stuffed to the gills with corn dogs: elephant ears and pizza. Under the lights of the midway old and young alike became one There were no adults, no parents Everyone was a kid. The wild rides still scare us like we were when we were little. The sensations are the same today as the) were in years past. And isn't that the reason we all age 1 Expanding system across campus USC President John Palms has asked the CSD t wire all faculty and staff campus buildings into th backbone. Dickert estimates the job will be complete by next summer. The Division of Student Affairs i the Russell House has recently been added to the bad bone. Linda Yount, administrative assistant to the vie president for Student Affairs, said allowing studei organizations located in the Russell House onto th backbone will take time. There is concern that organ zations using the same backbone connection as Studei Affairs might be able to break into student mainfram records. "If there is a way that someone could get on it an hack their way into the mainframe system, that i where the concern is," Yount said. "You may hav computer hackers that could get on a machine an hack into the other system." Dickert said CSD is looking into ways to provid security for student mainframe records, and he hope to have security equipment installed within a year. SGA has expressed interest in getting networ access. Sat l:30-6Sun illoween hours KXl mm mf I i t ' 4 > 5 Photos by Eric Glenn/The Gamecock i. 1 'J ~11 uui kiu in an ui us i . go to the fair?
