PUCC labs provide computers
By Morgan Conklin

Purdue University Computing Center labs, familiarly
known as PUCC labs, are located throughout campus and provide students
with computers nearly any time they need one.
When coming for Day on Campus, freshman students
will activate their account in a lab. To do this, a student will swipe
their Purdue ID card and follow the instructions that are posted on
the screen. Activation can take place in any lab, and will not take
more than five minutes.
All students that attend the University will have
an account, but students are not required to use it. However, there
are advantages of having one, said John Campbell, director of MIDC.
"The purpose of the labs is to provide facilities for students
in instructional endeavors," he said. "Faculty require projects,
and the labs provide a resource to get projects done."
There are 60 labs throughout campus in both academic
buildings and residence halls that have PUCC computers. The smallest
lab contains six computers with the largest lab having more than 100
computers, said Phyllis Veach, assistant director for the computing
center.
The labs contain Macintosh, UNIX or PC computers,
have at least one printer and in most cases, a flatbed scanner.
Students are given a variety of applications to
choose from when using the labs. Some of these include: Netscape, Office,
Photoshop and FrontPage, said Veach.
