By Ashley York
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

The folks at the James F.
Hardymon Building speak a dif-
ferent language. They speak in fu-
turistic terms. They envision
UK‘s future.

They describe a world driven
by technology and fueled by com-
munication and collaboration.

And perhaps a world where
students won‘t need to leave their
homes to go to class.

“Computers have revolution
ized distance learning," said
Brent Seales, an associate profes—
sor of computer science. “It might
push the university to your
house."

The Hardymon building. a
fall 2000 university addition locat-
ed on the comer of Rose and
Maxwell, has been equipped to
promote and encourage communi-
cation. interaction and exchange.
It‘s a building that illustrates the
possibilities in UK‘s future.

The building houses equip
ment like wireless computer sys-
tems, gigantic computer screens.
holographic projectors, wall-to-
wall dry erase boards and futuris-
tic furniture to enhance the leam-

more
important than
knowledge. Knowledge

is limited. Imagination
encircles the world.”

students come from and can go to anywhere

ing environment. The equipment
represents the cutting edge tech—
nology designed to promote col-
laboration and virtual class-
rooms.

“(Future education) will cre-
ate a virtual experience where
people could create anything they
want and spend time in it --~ like a
simulation." Seales said.

Instead of walking to school.
students will just roll out of bed.
grab a cup of coffee and venture
into a home theatre to get inside
of the Metaverse. a computer-gen-
erated world.

The Metaverse employs a col-
laboration of audio and visual
technology that will make stu-
dents feel like they‘re in a real
classroom instead of their living
room. said Christopher Jaynes.
an assistant professor in comput~
er science.

The computers that bring the
Metaverse to students‘ homes will
combine the telephone. television
and Internet into one mechanism
to create a more collaborative
learning experience.

And they won‘t look like the
computers used today either.

Imagine stumbling into the emergency room. running up
to the nearest figure in white and begging for help. The nurse
begins asking you important questions. but you cannot under-
stand because the murmur in the hospital is a different lan-
guage than your own.

For many Hispanics in the area. this could be a frightening
reality.

Some ['K students are helping allev late the problem.

l’ive l'K students tutor Lexnigton Hispanics at the English
as a Second Language program at the I‘ardinal \'alle_\ Center.
said Irene .larman. the program's director

Rebecca (‘rabtreo a Spanish graduate student. got iii-
volved with rISl. alter taking a trip to .\ie\ico her senior year
of college.

l'poii returning. (‘rabtree noticed how many Hispanic peo
ple were residing in (‘entral Kentuckv She pinpointed the
problems Hispanics faced and sought advice on how she could
help from people who already work with the community They
led her to (‘ardinal Valley ('enter.

"It was really a great experience that gave me the chance
to use what I had learned in class outside of the l'niversity.”
she said.

The first situation these tutoring sessions tackle is there
porting of basic information such as name. address and phone
number. After being coiiit‘ortabie w ith this "survival English."
the students are taught other practical things such as the Les
ington public transportation system. t'rabtree said

“We try to give them as much speaking. listening. writing
and reading practice as possible. all in situations that the_\ are
likely to have to deal with.“ (‘rabtree
said.

lliana Keam. a foreign language and
international economics sophomore. led
one of the tutoring sessions.

“It was a good experience. but it was
difficult at times. because I didn‘t feel
like I was teaching someone another lan
guage without speaking their [own] lan-
guage." Keam said.

The program uses people who are
bilingual or just English speakers as
they tutor groups with numbers as large
as 2:3.

Tutors are from various careers.
(‘rabtree said. You can see lawyers. po
licemen. nurses. students and retired
people bending over the shoulder of a
Hispanic person. helping them learn to write in English. she
said.

.larman said this liSl. program has been held the last two
years at the Cardinal Valley Center. but has been active in
Lexington much longer. .Iarman. a native of Mexico. has lived
in the L'nited States for seven years.

The goal of the ES]. program is easy to distinguish. she
said.

“Obviously. it is to teach a second language to this popula-
tion and [to also] get [people] involved in the community.” .lar-
man said.

The keyboard and mouse
will be wireless. An engulfing
movie screen will replace the
tiny monitor.

Jaynes said all of these
changes promote a more bene-
ficial learning experience.

"The idea is to replace it
with a collaborative com-
pelling experience that is still
efficient." Jaynes said. “We
don’t want to lose the effective-
ness of the lntemet. just fix it."

The process of revolution-
izing education only begins
with the Internet and high‘
tech gadgetry. said Doyle
Friskney. associate vice presi-
dent for communications and
networking.

Friskney envisions a fu-
ture employing different as-
pects of economics. culture
and academics.

"It's going to encourage
you to think outside the box."
Friskney said.

This futuristic campus
could be so radically different.
predicting what it will entail
can be tricky. Friskney said.
Things we take for granted as

state-of—theart now could be
ancient within years.

“in 25 years, people won't
accept e-mail." Friskney ven-
tured. “They will communi-
cate other ways."

80 it‘s hard to say exactly
how the Metaverse will work,
but communication innova~
tions will play a major role in
the development of education's
virtual environments.

Friskney acknowledges
students and faculty expect to
physically walk into a class-
room to learn and even desire
the personal interaction the
conventional classroom offers.

But the Metaverse will of-
fer interaction. too, albeit ofa
different kind, New communi-
cations technologies will allow
students from all across the
world to enter the Metaverse
and interact virtually. he said.

The traditional classroom
will be converted into a studio
where the teacher can lecture
or lead class discussions.

Ashwin Gokhale. a com-
puter science graduate stu-
dent. believes these innovav
tions look great for UK‘s fu-
ture.

"This will attract good stu-
dents and take the University
to greatness." he said. “If this
continues. it‘s definitely going
to be great.“

Hepatitis B is not yet cur-
able; however. by vaccination
it can be easily prevented by a
series of three doses.

Hepatitis B is spread
through sexual contact. sharing
a needle with an infected per-
son. used toothbrushes. razors
or earrings. according to a pam-
phlet released by SmithKline
Beecham Pharmaceuticals.

It is spread by fluids frotn
the eyes. nose and throat. by
scrapes and abrasions during
contact sports and by body
piercing anti tattoos.

()nce infected, a person
may or may not have symp-
toms.

its symptoms include loss
of appetite. nausea and vomit-
ing, upper right abdominal
pain. fever. headache. brown-
ish urine. light gray stools and
yellowing of the eyes and skin
(jaundice).

If these symptoms are pre-
sent. one should be tested be»

wise. get vaccinated. Woodrum
said.

"if it were my children in-
volved in college.“ Woodrum
said. "I would make sure they
