The college's decision to switch to I i Strategic Telecommunications Consulting Inc. has ben­ I efited the administration but not the students. I I There were many complaints about the former tele­ phone provider - from ~ed-up billing to serv_ice •j f · problems - that workers m the Ofl'.ice of Informat10n I Technology had to constantly address. Those hassles may be avoided thanks to the new service. 't l But judging by student reaction when starting to use I the system last week, it's causing new problems for I• them. Many don't understand why they don't get their I own phone line if they're billed individually. And oth­ I ers question the mysterious $20 setup fee. I In a letter to the editor in May, Information Tech­ • nology Director Ed Fuller explained why students t weren't involved during the selection process. ''The ► choice of service provider has more to do :with cost to t• the college, vendor reputation and experience and busi­ Letters ness viability in a volatile market ... factors best eval­ uated by those with experience in the telecommuni- cations marketplace," he wrote. . Certainly, the information technology staff will un­ derstand the qualities of a good telephone company better than the average student would. But the stu­ dents are customers of the telephone service as much as the college is. And this "we-know-better" mentality is disappointing in a place where students take com­ mittee appointm~nts seriously and become well-in­ formed on issues when asked for their input. · Technical Services Director Bernard Rhoades has promised to solicit student feedback at a Student Gov­ ernment Association meeting this fall. So start mak­ ing a list of complaints now. Don't settle for less-than­ ideal service. The college is asking for feedback, and students need to respond by attending the meeting. The college should not be let off the hook this time. be.heard! Support ·the team / Ithaca College sports deserve attention The Bomber athletic teams gave Ithaca College something to cheer about last season. Sound off on the Opinion page! The football team made its first playoff appearance since 1994. Six other teams finished in the NCAA Top 10. Softball finished out the year by winning its first national championship. , These successes earned the college a second-place. The Ithacan reaches more than rank in the Division III Sears Directors' Cup, moving up from fifth the year before. If previous doubt exist­ 5,500 readers a week. ed, this achievement should convince the campus that Ithaca College sports deserve attention and support. If you've got something to say They might not be quite as exciting to follow as Di­ vision I teams, but the college is firmly establishing it­ self as one of the best Division ill programs in the coun­ to the campus, try. And in that case, the college-, s dedicated _coaches · and student athletes deserve a hearty round of applause,. here's your chance. Let's give it to them this season.

Survey examines American attitudes

"Everything's changed" became the American mantra immediately after Sept. 11. "Nothing's changed," came the echo back a few months later. But although the imprint of Sept. 11 on the public is largely fading, a year later it re­ mains clearly visible in many of the ways Americans think abo.ut their country, their leaders and themselves, accord­ ing to a Washington Post survey. Public support for the military, which surged after the ter­ rorist attacks, has not wavered in the intervening months and may even be increasing. Feelings of patriotism and nation­ al pride remain strong. Most surprising, America still basks in the rosy glow fueled by the heroism and everyday acts of selflessness and charitable giving that followed Sept. 11. B4t the survey also found that many attitudes that changed dramatically in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11 have largely changed back. An overwhelming majori­ ty of Americans said the country was headed in the right direction in the days after the attack. Today, a small ma­ jority believe the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track," according to the poll. JAME;S A.
