CLUWnet is a WiFi compliant 802.11b network, employing industry standard and widely adopted tech- nologies for comprehensive compatibility with wireless network cards and operating systems. With CLUWnet, users no longer are confined to a desk, office or dorm room. Instead, users can make use of other indoor and some outdoor locations Jo connect to the Internet, E-mail and even do research via the wireless network. To facilitate a wireless connection, laptop users need to purchase a wireless card (NIC). ISS sells, installs, and supports Cisco and 3Com wireless NICs. Users may purchase other NIC brands, but they will not receive support for the device from ISS. Anyone with a CLU email account and password can use CLUWnet by launching an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, and then providing information at the automatically appearing login screen. The user will gain access to network resources upon successful entry of a valid CLU username and password. Wireless network connectivity is provided in the following buildings: • Ahmanson Science Center • Soiland Humanities Building and Overton Hall • Nygrene Hall • D building • Spies-Bornemann Education and Technology Building • Pearson Library and Preus Brandt Forum • New Coffee Shop (later this year) If you have any questions regarding the wireless network or if you want to purchase a wireless NIC card from ISS, please contact the Help Desk (x3698 or [email protected]).

Just as I have stamped my name on my opinion Class of 2003 Dear Editor and Ms. Neville, I would like to take this opportunity to explain a little further the "I'm Sorry" campaign that was spread across campus a few weeks ago for those of you who were confused. I am writing this because I am not afraid to speak out for what I believe and my desire is not to "hide" behind anonymity. The reason for the anonymous nature of Ihe week was part of the whole message, which, quite sadly, was lost by many of my Christian brothers and sisters. The message was simple and was displayed both on every door (fully approved by 1 Student Programs) and here in The Echo: "Just this once, please don't look at me, look at Him (Jesus).' 1 do not claim to say "I'm sorry" on behalf of all Christians; unfortunately, I understand all loo well that many Christians are not sorry. This apology comes from a group of Christian brothers and sisters, who will remain anonymous because, as we said throughout the week, this is not about the people who participated in this campaign (many of whom are not who you assume they are) but aboul Jesus and the simple yet profound message that He came to earth, as God, and died on a cross (a death that was not even paid justice by Ihe painting that was displayed) lo pay the price lhal we are unable lo pay for it our sins. It is a message of love. It is a message of hope. II is a message that as Christians we sometimes get in the way of. But, it is a message that I would die for if meant you would be convinced of its validity. Please do not misunderstand me. This apology is not aimed at my brothers and sisters in Christ across this campus (although I'm sure one is due in some respect). It is towardsl- hose of you who do not believe in Jesus Christ and His amazing love. My heart is that you would take just a moment, if you didn't that week, and look at Jesus' message of salvation aside from all the wrong done to you by those who call themselves "little Christ" or "Christians." I must agree with you, Meagan, thai il is lime to stop talking and do something. All the talk in Ihe world means nothing on our part if il is nol backed up by our lifestyle. Meagan, 1 wish that instead of coming up against each other we could come alongside each other in the name of Christ and live life as God intended us lo live, as one body. For some of us followers of Christ, this week was just the beginning of us "doing something"; I assure you this will not be the last campaign at CLU. But I will lei my life and my love speak for to gel off your me (by God's strength), as I pray all my brothers and sisters will. It is time to DO something, and I pray for and encourage all of you who claim Christ as your Savior butts and start living and loving in a radical way, reminiscent of our radical Savior. And for those of you who do not yet believe in what Christ did for you on Ihe cross and do nol know or understand how much God loves you and desires lo have an intimate relationship with you: I turned I I been sorry for I to. ve m being a hypocrite. m sorry for saying so much and doing so little.

Mary-Kate & Ashley, the tent and bounce-houses were on campus for the family festival that followed Sep- tember of 2001 *s Fields of Dreams gala event on the north side of campus. This event was an opportunity for poten- tial donors and friends of CLU to get acquainted with the university and the plans to build all new athletic facilities. "People who were not familiar with CLU now know who we are and what we are about. We will be going back to show them plans for what we are doing," said senior director of development Nancy Strouse. "The purpose of the gala and festival was to provide the opportunity to bring people to campus to find out about CLU ... we want to be known beyond our own community."
