Internet outagesOn November 2, Seton Hill University (SHU) was offline from approximately 2:30 a.m. to about 9:30 p.m. The following Saturday, the Internet was down again in the afternoon. “If the Internet is down for 19 hours, that’s practically the whole day. I really don’t think it should take a whole day to fix the network,” said Amanda Horner, a junior. Some students tried earlier in the day, found the Internet in their dorms not working, and crammed into the computer labs in Maura since the Internet came back to the computer labs before the dorms. Some even called campus police when their Internet was gone. And at 10:09 p.m., a global email from Chris Sherman, of the IT department, identified the cause as the “…temporary failure of one of our hobnob appliances.” |

ColumnsHarlan Gallery In the back gallery of Seton Hill University’s Harlan Gallery there is a room dedicated to the stories of local women and men who were involved in the women’s movement. Their photos hang on the walls accompanied by their personal stories while a movie is projected onto the wall showing their interviews. It is an oral history multimedia project entitled “In Sisterhood: The Women’s Movement in Pittsburgh.” Charlene Hunt, owner and administrator of Transcribing4You.com, has been listening to the interviews and typing the project verbatim. Eventually the audio files will be archived at the University of Pittsburgh. |
