Dear TUGS Executive members, please post/distribute the following message to
your membership. Thank you.
As you know the Department of Geography has turned ss620 into an undergrad GIS
lab...many of you have had extensive exposure to this new facility already. I
am writing today to ask for your help in protecting our investment in the lab.
The lab represents a significant investment of departmental (as well as
faculty) funds. I am writing today to ask for your help. While the lab has
several layers of security in place, what is needed is constant (or as close as
possible) on-site monitoring. If tugs members could arrange some sort of
process which would elevate the consciousness of all resident tugs members re
the importance of this lab to all of us...perhaps this would go a long way
toward keeping the lab and its equipment in good shape for years to come.
With regard to the issue of treating the machines in 620 with proper respect, I
noticed today that several machines have already been treated roughly (pentium
decals removed, chewing gum left on a cpu etc.) This is not acceptable. You
have a vested interest in helping maintain the integrity of this lab because if
it becomes clear to the faculty that room is being abused (even by the
minority) the room will be placed on normal day-time hours only. So you see
what I mean when I say it is in everyone's best interest to help keep ss620
safe and in excellent condition.
As chair of the departmental computer committee I am asking for your
cooperation in this regard. Please keep your eyes open. If you see someone
abusing the machines or treating the room or equipment in an inappropriate
fashion, simply email myself (difrance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or Bruce Huang
(huangb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or call the main office (978-3375), or visit
the cartography lab (right next door) to report the incident and we will
respond.
I think working as a community we can keep ss620 safe and in great shape
without the need of reduced hours or enhanced supervision. Please do your part
to help make it so. Thank you for your time.
