Fast, efficient and free.
Such were the characteristics of
campus e-mail as recently as last
semester. But lately, e-mail seems more
like snail mail, and proposed changes
may remedy the now sluggish student
online access.
According to John Watson of
Computer Services, two proposed
"terminal servers"?direct links between
student modems and the Internet?will
expand student Internet access by 32
phone lines. If things go as planned,
students logging on will "never get a
busy signal."
Additionally, the terminal servers
will link students directly with Netscape,
which provides graphic accompaniment

CECE VON KOLNITZ News Editor
The students in Bruce Pearson's
Maymester anthropology course won't
just be reading about the Native
American cultures of the Carolinas.
"People will actually have the
opportunity to work with people from
Carolina tribes and learn from them,"
Pearson said.
The course will involve a look at
the efforts Native Americans tribes of
both North and South Carolina have
made to preserve their language and
traditional culture.
The first week will involve reading
background about Native American
history, especially concerning Carolina
tribes.
During the second week, students
will take field trips to different
reservations, including the Catawba
Reservation near Rock Hill and the
Cherokee reservation in the Smoky
Mountains of North Carolina.
Pearson said there are more Indians
living in North Carolina than in any
other state east of the Mississippi, and
there areanumberoflndian
communities in South Carolina.
"Many people suppose that the
Indians are no longer here, but that's
not the case," Pearson said. "There are

current "web-browser" Charlotte.
The additional Dhone lines will cut
back on the amount of time it takes to
log on.
Dorothy Tudor, of Academic Research
and Support, said gaining mainframe
access is taking longer due to increased
student usage.
"More students are logging on this
semester than last summer or even last
semester," she said. "Students are taking
our classes, and they are getting their
friends to go online."
Tudor also noted seasonal usage
adding to the overload. "There is some
research and instructional use toward
the end of the semester."
She said it is especially difficult to
log on during weekday afternoons, after
most students get out of class.
