STU DENT LIFE N O . -.::;'a. H :- ' , mill? is gin. his summer, archttec Gottardi taught a one month course in France, Italy, Spain and Greece as he has for the past 14 years. Professor Gottardi took students to an array ofarchitectural sites and cities across Europe. Why does he like to travel with students annually? nI love walking in the traditional cities, streets and places, that is what I enjoy the most in life. I love to sit at a cafe and debate architectural views with studentsf' From climbing up the Eiffel Tower, to viewing Flamenco Dancing, to watching bull fights, everyone experienced European life. Learning the languages lfor example itMerciii and iiGraziei? became important in communicating to the French and Italians after eating one of their delicious Paniniis or Gnocchi dishes. Senior Lisa La Monte, a major in physical therapy, said ttBecause of p ro fe s s o r To m a Lap 82 , Ian I was hesitant to take an architecture course abroad. However it was the best decision Ive ever made. I had an amazing time and I now have memories that will last a lifetime? Architecture students were especially enthralled by the trip. As senior Eric Iassin recalled, itThe trip to Europe enabled me to finally see the places and architecture I have learned about. In addition, I experienced European culture and made new friends. The overall experience was phenomenal? Sophomore Melissa Roberts, a nursing student, said, til set out on a new adventure independently, with new people to try to learn about the architecture in Europe. I enjoyed learning the languages, eating the delicious foods and experiencing the night life? Looking back on their trip, all of the students agreed that they shared an incredible experience.

STU DE NT LIFE i he internet and e-rnail has made communicate. As 'te'C'hnOIOgy has grown, the world has become more computer oriented. Students wishing to take part in this expansion of tehnology demanded easier and quicker access to computers and tithe net. The residential colleges had no choice but to adapt to keep up with the drift towards the internet as a source for research and communication. Over the summer, the rooms in Hecht, Stanford, Eaton, Mahoney and Pearson Residential Colleges were re-wired with new phone lines and computer network connection jacks. The convenience ofe-mailing questions to professors and downloading software and information has made doing classwork easier and faster. tiHaving internet access in my room ahugeimpacton -' n ns. doing research much easier. I am a1..'e'e4mailing my friends and can go online any time I need to andnot have to worry whether or not a someone is tryingto call mef said Jim Fremder, a junior majoring in Accounting. The apartments were not included in this expansion plan since most of them will be demolished in the near future for expansion. The apartment area not being connected is unfair because then phone lines are taken up while using a modem, complained Ricardo Sewell, a senior majoring in Computer Engineering. Personal computers were not the only way to get connected to the internet. Computer labs across campus provided students with internet access to complete school work as well as keep in touch with friends and family. ROMINA KOTLIAR Students can use their personal computers to connect to the internet all over campus, including their rooms as Catherine Balvich, freshman and finance major demonstrates here.
