DMACC Boone Campus October 24, 2001 “Voices from the Boone Campus” Volume 47, Issue Inside this edition Anticipating an ATM Michele Thamke PUMPKIN Banner Staff A local Boone bank contacted the Boone Campus administration this summer and asked if DMACC wanted an ATM for the campus. Executive Dean, Bill Hitesman said the bank offered the machine to DMACC at PICKIN’ no cost. The ATM location will be across from the lockers by the DMACC east exit. Regarding Internet perversion this location, George Silberhorn, Boone pages 6 & 7 Campus associate dean, said, “It’s a good pathway, and it’s close to the gym.” According to Hitesman, there is a minimal fee for installing a dedicated phone line and a breaker, along with the monthly fee of $40 for the Qwest dedicated line service. His proposed plan is to split the monthly fee with the Student Action Council. He said, “With or without the SAC’s approval, the ATM is a go.” Silberhorn said, “I believe we are really close. There is a written agreement; Bill Hitesman has to approve it, then the DMACC business office.” He added that the dedicated phone line and electricity were installed Oct. 16. Cindy Cory, A local Boone bank representative, not cancer survivor wanting to be named, said, “An ATM is coming, the timeline is unknown, subject to page 2 regulatory approval.” Hitesman said, “If we didn’t have a good relationship within the community, it wouldn’t have happened. The Boone com- munity is very supportive of DMACC.” Requests for an ATM during the past three to four years have prompted administration to look into costs and usage. The Student Action Council and psychology instructor, Jane Martino’s class both surveyed students concerning ATM usage. Hitesman said, “The fees (for providing an ATM) would have been $500 to $700 month- ly.” He added these fees were not affordable, especially with the recent budget cuts.
