DAY CARE

dren, rooking meals. washing dishes and planning
fmld trip*
Alisa Stull, school-age program coordinator,
believes that whan parent* take an a< live role m
their children'* artivilla*, the day <art* program is
more *u<«essful
"We encourage parents to get involved." Stull
said "Some parents don't want to or can't, and we
don't hold it against them, but most find It bene
ficial"
Another advantage for parents who an* involved
ts a reduced cost for their children's care With more
volunteer help, the day care does not have to hire
as many paid workers
The age groups of the children continue well into
elementary *< bool In addition to the toddler and
pn*s* hool ages, a lati h key program cares for chil
dren kindergarten to elementary school age* m the
afternoon, after they are released from school
One program for the latch key group is called
"S< hoo! Dare Out," a day long schedule of activi
ties for school-age children during breaks March
17 i% the next date for the event Planned activities
include arts arid r rafts, bowling, a trip to the park
and swimming
Although the Amazon co-op i* located at the
Amazon Kamil\ Housing area. which is nearly half
empty, Stull said the children in the day cans cen
ter come from all over However, being incorpo
rated with Amazon Housing ha* caused some
corn ern for the co-op workers a* to the day care *
future
‘ It * been up and down; a real roller-coaster ride.”
Stull said "We've been told we're not rebuilding,
then that we're being rebuilt but not moving from
one day care to the other.”
For the first anniversary of the infant/toddler
room, the co-op will have a tea party for the par
ents of the children w ho have gone through the tod
dler program The children are making decorations
and gifts for their parents for the celebration.
Prince feels it is important to realize how expen
sive day (.are < an he and how programs like the
Amazon co-op are helpful in making child care
affordable.
"Many parents wouldn't l»> in school if not for
our low costs.” Print« said “Child t are is expen
sive, and we can lower tin- cost when parents work
cooperatively with us But the best thing is how the
parents feed attached with their kids during the tint.
while their kids can then be proud that their par
ents are so involved with their lives "
INTERNET

Originally four computer*
were connected in California
and Utah This new network

Magaunr
No organization or group
runs or monitors the internet,
although the Internet Society,
a group of volunteers consid
ered Internet experts, doe* give
some direction to the network
The Internet is an expensive
system that requires time and
money to maintain Although
University students do not pay
money expressly for the Inter
net, it does i <>st them
The University pays about
120,000 i jfdf tor in Internet
membership connection to
NorthWestNet. which cunnoc ts
to the rest of the Internet Addi
tionally, it pays US West Com
muniiations about $250 a
month for a high-speed “Tl”
line, which transfers about 1.5
megabits of information a sec •
ond, Meyer said.
One of the controversies < ir
cling the Internet is about
nc i ess The most convincing
argument Meyer has heard
equates the Internet with a
library card If the Internet
begins to cost more money it
will Is* ome a thing of privilege
for wealthier people, he said
One thing is < ertaln, he said,
more sites will charge sub
scription rates, as soon as an
efficient billing ran hanism is
developed
The Internet provides many
services to users at no addi
tional charge. E-mail is one of
the most widely used services
It lets a user send messages to
other Users very quickly.
Gopher servers allow users
to find information by topic in
a text-based menu interface.
t Jsenet is a collection of pub
lic bulletin boards tilled news
groups that cover any subject
from astronomy to zoology.
Over 6,000 newsgroups exist
where users um post and read
messages.

a method of retrieving software
and other files across the Inter
net from sites such as Apple
Computer or the shareware
an hive at Washington Univer
sity.
The World Wide Web is a
subset of the Internet which
presents information with a
graphical interim e WWW sites
use a protocol which allows
Web "pages" to utilize text and
graphical data, as well as pro
viding links to other pages The
result is an easily-traversable
web-like structure of intercon
necting pages The number of
Web pages online is growing
exponentially.
