NO. 25\ JMU, campusMCI still working out system problems byBenDalbey .____^__ senior writer At the end of the first semester of campusMCI's involvement with JMU, university officials say the joint effort has accomplished its primary goal, but not everything has gone as expected. Tom Bonadeo, JMU director of telecommunications, said he was pleased with the efficiency of the campus-wide recarding process that took place in September, but problems have arisen with other services. ■ Bringing in an organization like campusMCI was the only way to facilitate a smooth transition from the old JAC cards to the new digital image system, Bonadeo said. Aside from the recarding event, the campusMCI service allowing students, faculty and staff to use their social security numbers and personal pin numbers as calling cards is also working effectively, Bonadeo said. The commissions earned on that service will pay for the equipment required by the new cards, allowing JMU to get new technology at low cost, he said. "It appears that our actual income is running slightly ahead of the projections," he said, "which means that the university has a better ID card without using money out of [student] fees to get it." The main problem, Bonadeo said, is with the off-campus dial-one service. There were some technical problems that plagued that service," he said. The idea behind the service was that off-campus students could sign up for the program, receiving discounted long-distance rates and a personalized bill for every member of the household. IAN GRAHAM/.v^m'orphotographer If not everyone in the house or apartment signed up for the service, however, the system did not work as planned.

I called every friend on my phone list and even my roommate's friends, begging them to look through their rooms and see what they could donate. I was doing well so far, and as I sat back to relax, I began thinking about where I could go to get goods. That night I made announcements in my hall. "While we're all working really hard to get our "A's" and "B's," there's a family in Harrisonburg that's worried about something a little more important." I hoped this dramatic, yet not exaggerated, plea would stir some response. I was still speaking on the public announcement system, enumerating items the family needed, when residents literally came rushing into the office with clothes, shoes and food. Some of the biggest donators were men whose families were not well-to-do themselves, and I watched them dump countless items into my collection box.
