I There's a mouse in the house N ot every mouse on the Harding campus was in a psychology lab. In fact, 20 were in the Ganus Building, eight in the American Studies Building, two in the Art Center, and one in the Olen Hendrix Building. No one complained about Harding's mouse problem, however, because each mouse was attached to a new Macintosh computer terminal in one of several newly-established Macintosh labs on campus. Harding's Macintosh network , the largest "Mac" network in Arkansas, was a multi-use system designed to meet the needs of several departments. The central lab facility was established in the Ganus Building with 20 MacPlus terminals, a laser printer, four Imagewriter printers and an extensive software library. This lab was open on a daily basis to all students and faculty. Three satellite labs allowed faculty and students to work in their respective department areas. Satellite labs served the English, art and home economics departments. The English department organized a Writing Center equipped with five Macintosh and three Apple Ile computers so that students could use computerized word processing to enhance their composition skills. The English faculty had three Macs for administrative use. Writing students could write and edit all writing projects onscreen using a simple word processing program. "Harding students have a powerful tool in the Macintosh system of word processing. It has opened doors of opportunity and will continue to be a great asset to our writing program," said Betty T. Ulrey, associate professor of English and communication. From logos to blueprints, design projects were prepared by art students as they got hands-on experience with the Macintosh system. The art department used the central lab in the Ganus Building for classroom use and a twostation satellite lab in the art center. Karen Roseberry, new Director of Public Relations and Personnel at Ashley Memorial Hospital in Crossett , AR, was one of the first communication majors to benefit from the desktop publishing capabilities of the Macintosh system. "Because I could show items that I had created on the Mac, I was able to demonstrate my journalistic abilities as well as to showcase my graphic design skills. At the job interview, I had tangible evidence of my capabilities. I could show the employer, not just tell him, that I could do the work. And, I got the job," Roseberry said. The system's near-typeset quality reproduction enabled communication majors to prepare camera-ready publications for class projects. Broadcasting students made use of the Mac's word processing capabilities as they prepared news copy for daily campus radio and television broadcasts. So, when people mentioned the mouse problem at Harding, it wasn' t the result of sloppy housekeeping. In fact, it wasn't really a problem at all. It was just tangible evidence of Harding's commitment to provide a first-rate, marketable education through its investment in advanced computer technologies for faculty and students. - Jack R. Shock
