Eastern needs to keep on pace with such technology because other universities can use their technological advances as a recruiting tool. Illinois State University, for example, has had direct hookups in some residence hall rooms for almost three years. The University of Illinois at Champaign has been fully wired in all of its resi- dence halls for four years. And Northern Illinois University has had direct connections for two years. Thanks to $50-per-semester campus-improve- ment fee that the student body approved last year and will begin paying in the spring, the university will get a pool of $500,000 with which to begin wiring the residence halls. The $500,000 was originally slated for a pilot program that would hook up one residence hall by the year 2000. The university had not determined which residence hall would be wired or how exact- ly how much it would cost because it was working off rough estimates based on a 1994 report from the Office of Information and Technology Services.
