UTA Ed Pass program How many use it and whose money pays for it? Britnee Nguyen Public editor Students always hear how riding the bus can help the environment, lower campus parking problems, and save money.

Schools within UTA's bus services are offered this program to provide alternative transportation for students. The cost of the Ed Pass program varies from each school, depending on the level of service available in the area.

Study abroad in Japan Ci Ct Greg Kita News writer Language students have always dreamed of having the opportunity to visit foreign lands to use their newly acquired skills with native speakers. UVSC has recently announced the establishment of a new study abroad program to Japan. This program has been established in order to better acquaint students with the culture of See JAPAN . A4 VOLUME XXXVII NO. 23 Free wireless comes with a hitch Kevin Whitaker News writer It seems like such a short time ago that the debate about whether or not UVSC should offer free wireless Internet was raging in its academic hallways. Though technically wireless Internet is still paid for through fees lumped in with tuition and other student fees, "free" wireless Internet was still seen by many as a victory. Bringing up the available wireless networks might be a little confusing at UVSC. No, you aren't getting a sweet deal when you pick that "guest" network and it doesn't make you do anything special to use the Internet; they're both free anyway , remember? So what exactly is the difference? There seem to be two main differences between the "UVSC-Guest" network and the "UVSC-Wireless" network. First, the wonderful people who sympathized with or participated in the recent protests against the local Gold's Gym for its promiscuity will probably want to use the guest network. The guest network is fully equipped with a standard k-12 filter that blocks sites harmful to minors and is in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act. The UVSC-Wireless network, on the other hand, is the Internet in all its unfiltered, self-control testing glory, but requires a college login ID and password. Second, theUVSC-Wireless network requires that the computer accessing the network is running the CISCO Clean Access agent. See WIRCLESS A2 Google Images - Edited by Robert Hayden College Times With the latest addition of Japan, UVSC now has 10 international study programs. These programs include the counties: Costa Rica, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Guatemala and Namibia (shown above in red). An additional three countries are set to be added in 2009, including: Taiwan, Ukraine and Italy (shown above in blue). These programs enable students to travel abroad while furthering their education. 3 I tMjt
