Renovated Archer Hall becomes new Student Center
By Chester Starks, Jr.
Campus News Editor
For the past few years,
Archer Hall has been a dirty,
poorly lit dungeon of a
gymnasium. However, that
description will change since
it has been renovated. It is one
of the many buildings on
campus that have been
selected for renovation in
order to coincide with Dr.
Massey's vision of making
Moreho'use College the best
liberal arts college in the
country. The Archer Hall
Recreation Center (called "The
Rec" by staff members), "will
provide students, faculty, and
staff with a much needed
outlet for recreational
activities," says Johnny Nimes.
Mr. Nimes is the Executive
Assistant to the Vice-Provost
for Student Affairs who has
been appointed as the director
of the newly renovated facility.
Student based organizations
that are now housed in Archer
Hall are: The Student
Government Association,
Maroon Tiger Newspaper and
The Torch Yearbook. Other
offices that share space are the
National Alumni Association
and administrative offices for
the Archer Hall staff.
Archer Hall will be a
carded facility. In order to gain
access to the facility, students,
faculty, and staff will have to
present a valid Morehouse ID
card to the Entrance
Attendants on duty. Students
will be allowed to bring a
limited number of guests into
the facility, but will be held
responsible for them. A copy
of the Hours of Operating will
be available at the entrance
desks.

Hotmail service has been
cut off from Robert W.
Woodruff Library patrons.
Since Morehouse and Clark-
Atlanta utilize the same
servers as the library, their
access to the service has been
discontinued as well. Hotmail
is more user-friendly than e-
mail accounts provided by
Morehouse and CAU and
more accessible. However, it's
popularity with students has
caused many headaches for
the Woodruff library staff.
Access was shut off for a
number of reasons. It was
requested by the Library
Information Services
department primarily because
workstations intended for
reference and periodical
research were being used for
Hotmail and other purposes.
"[It] dominated the work
stations," said Mr. Howard
Hunnicutt, head of Woodruff's
technical staff. "We have heard
complaints that mass amounts
of commercial mail have been
sent using Hotmail."
Although e-mail accounts
are provided to all students in
the AUC, these accounts have
been described as being
"obsolete" and "out of date"
by Morehouse students. It also
may be difficult for students to
check their e-mail since the
computer labs are either
usually packed full or locked
down due to computer classes.
"Hotmail is a better e-mail
service because they are
constantly updating their
service to make it easier," said
Morehouse student Devin
Johnson.
Students should not
expect the server to be set up
again any time soon. "The
removal of Hotmail has
decreased traffic, which
increases the performance of
the AUC internet connection
and controls the cost of the
connection," said Hunnicutt.
The administrations of
Morehouse and CAU believe
that the students can survive
without Hotmail.
Although working to gain
responsibility and control of each
computer work station on its campus,
Morehouse College is still using
