The system is 95 percent complete. LYSSA COOPER Staff Writer USC has nearly completed the installation of a fiber-optic system that will connect all university professors through the Internet. "The system, over 95 percent done, is the completion of a project that started in 1988," said Patrick Calhoun, university librarian for Automated Systems. The backbone, as the system is called, is a computer network that will make the jobs of USC staff members less time consuming. "The idea of the system is to make things easier for staff members," said Paul Smith, director of Computer Operations and Services.

The USC system is only a strand of this web, et it is a system within itself. There is still cable o be laid down, but 15 miles of cable have already een installed, giving the system a total of 5,218 fork stations with full access, linking 84 building cross campus.
