• W2992718829 abstract "Berea, Kentucky, is some 45 miles south of Lexington and only two hours and seven minutes south of Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. The town comprises approximately 9,000 folks who mainly specialize in making, and then hopefully selling, brooms, quilts, skittle games and various other crafts. In 1988 the state proclaimed that Berea was the Arts and Craft Center of Kentucky. The town is also the home for Berea College; actually the school is 35 years older than the town. Berea College is a liberal arts college of Christian tradition. Since it charges no tuition, it offers an opportunity to those in the Appalachian area that could not normally afford the expenses of college. True to the region, it runs the largest crafts store in town and it is one of the few colleges to require all of its students to work in an organized labor program. Students file books in the library, wait tables at the restaurant, process purchases orders or serve as janitors in one of the dorms. Student-labor projects also provide services to the region overall. Enrollment at Berea hovers around 1,500 students, a good percentage of which are the first in their immediate family to go to college. * Everyday Use of Computers Berea's unique personality is complemented by what may seem to be a strange bedfellow, given the region's emphasis on crafts. Berea College makes extensive use of computers--not in the sense of a strong computer science department but in the simple, everyday use of computers to do the things that one needs to do. Students at Berea have taken to the computer from the very beginning. As early as 1982, when there were only 22 student terminals connected to a Prime 550, 68% of the student body logged on to the system during a given term. Whether it was to write a term paper, run off a statistics project, write code in BASIC or to slay the dragon in Adventure, students learned early that the computer was a friend upon which they could depend. Today, student usage has increased to 97% and Macintoshes have replaced most of the terminals. Our student-to-micro ratio is 9:1. There are now micros in classrooms, eight labs, the library and 10 of the 13 dorms. The college has built a new computer center that houses not only the mainframe but three computerized classrooms. These areas serve as 24-hour-access labs when classes are not in session. Students still write term papers and run off statistics for projects. BASIC code is being replaced with HyperCard scripts and the dragon is now found in Dark Castle. All incoming students are introduced to word processing during the first month. Students in art class use the computer to draw; business classes manipulate rows and columns; industrial technology classes learn CAD; math classes plot; music classes compose; and science classes analyze. In other words, students in almost every discipline use a computer somewhere within the structure of their classes. Administratively, most processes have been computerized. Accounting, financial gift processing, payroll and registration are all online with most of the program code written by students in the labor program. There is a micro on every faculty desk and most staff offices have computer access. In total, there are about 500 micros and 100 terminals. The library catalog is online and accessible from any workstation. A fiber-optic backbone connects 26 buildings and provides the gateway for information exchange from anywhere on campus. The backbone also offers a link to the local K-12 school system. The college's network structure is modular in design and built for future growth, which may include telephone, video and control systems. The network has fiber between buildings and unshielded, twisted-pair cabling inside buildings. A series of routers and controllers direct the information flow. Our journey of planning and building Berea College's network is the focus of this article. …" @default.
