Subject:      MHLD upgrade in release 5.1
Comments: To: notis-l@tcsvm.bitnet

Personally, I found it easier to just alter the LCA899B program and
it seems to have satisfied our MHLD experts here...

I ran the MHLD upgrade when installing 5.1 in my test region (lsc994jc
- convert $6 to $8) and found some wild discrepancies in the number
of mhld records found vs. the number "converted". My favorite example
was in the Northwestern test files, where out of 627 records, the
job reported that it converted 95. Has anyone seen similar figures?
If so, are the discrepancies serious?

Subject:      Data Entry summary

Greetings,

   About a month ago I posted a request for data entry information and I
promised a summary of the responses so here goes:

I received six responses. 3 of the respondents are using PC data entry
software called KeyEntry III which is sold by Southern Computer Systems.
The software apparently runs on both MS-DOS and PS/2 systems. All three
of the respondents are happy with KeyEntry III and said it is easy to
build and maintain formats. Other comments offered were "very flexible"
and "company personnel very supportive".

One respondent recently switched from Pertec to GEMIDEX, PC data
entry software from Specialized Data Systems. GEMIDEX costs only about
$400 which is a big savings from the $900/month Pertec maintenance fee.
They are very happy with their new data entry environment.

Another respondent uses PC data entry software called RODE/PC which is a
product of DFX. The software was described as "a very capable,
professional product suitable for experienced heads down data entry staff
to use".

One respondent said they have moved away from doing any data entry at the
computer center. Data is entered at the point it arrives. Admissions
applications are entered as part of the reception process and grades are
entered in the Registrar's Office via a Rally application. This approach
has been successful for them. One of the other respondents said they are
still doing data entry at the computer center but they hope to be out of
the data entry business in another year.

My original posting also asked some questions about scanning. Only a
couple of the respondents commented on scanning and they seem to be using
it for the same types of things we are using it for at Marquette; test
scoring and some surveys.

After reviewing the responses, we have decided to take a closer look at
KeyEntry III and GEMIDEX. I called the vendors of both companies and
they are sending me more information.

All of the responses contained helpful information and I thank
all those that took the time to respond:

Dave Allgier - Eastern Kentucky University
Lou Browdy - Cornell
Trevor Garland - McGill University
Dana Nielsen - Northwestern University
R.B. Eaton - University of Saskatchewan
Les Pennington - Washington

I don't think I missed anybody but I apologize if I did.

                            Thanks and happy holidays!

After reading at various times on each of the lists questions about if
there is an admissions discussion group, I read in the AACRAO _Data
Dispenser_  this a.m. that a new enrollment management discussions list
has been formed for AACRAO and NASPA members.  The contact is Mike Hon in
the Univ. of Minnesota-Twin Cities admission office
(Michael.T.Hon-1@UMN.EDU)  and the listserv address FOR
MEMBERS (or those they are willing to sponsor) is

listserv@vm1.spcs.umn.edu

The subscription message should be in the form

SUBS ENROLL-L <your-email-address> <yourfirstname yourlastname>

The address for comments directly to the list once you are subscribed will be

enroll-l@vm1.spcs.umn.edu

Hope this is helpful.

As a new CUMREC-l subscriber browsing through the list's archives,
a discussion on Degree Audit Software caught my eye because we have
just begun developing a computerized degree audit module for our
student information system.  We are an HP site using PowerHouse as our
developing language.

Among other things, the discussion mentioned that: "a school which is
considering developing its own degree audit take a close look at what
is available from someone else before they commit those resources at
home to a task that is never ending".  Also it was mentioned that DARS
is flexible enough to process the most complex requirements found in
the US or Canada.

That brings me to my question. Would it be at all possible to get
information on DARS?  Issues that I have at this point are:

    -    Is a demo available?
    -    What are the options and how much does each cost?
    -    Could we get your system specifications?

Thanks in advance for your reponse.

...every spoken language is in a sense a corruption, a corruption of the
schoolmaster's dream.  What these old schoolmasters call "correct" Czech is
a language deader than Latin.  If you listen to the few extremists who
actually try to speak that lingo, you feel as if you are listening to robots.
The fact is that much beauty comes from corruption, and also much that is
interesting.  Paradise without Eve's sin would have been a dull place.

The Venerable Fathers of old used to claim that doubt was the beginning of
faith.  I think they were wrong.  Doubt is the end of faith.  But perhaps it
is also how wisdom begins.  The wisdom that ultimately leads us, in the realm
of the Venerable Fathers, to Jesus Christ.  Not because He allegedly died
for us on the cross, since at the very most that was His own private
illusion, but because He was such a kind person.  He always stuck by those
who had been humiliated.  Always.  And with all of them.

As a single woman, I think most of the men I've dated don't understand
women's orgasms;  several men have been intent on "giving" me multiorgasms.
I don't want several orgasms.  I want one good, big orgasm.  When a man
keeps going down on you to get you to come again, it's a little like having
someone force-feed you double chocolate-chip ice cream.  It's not really

A rep from the ISO is supposed to speak to our group

As far as the FEMINIST aspect goes: What do you mean?

There. Some jucy things to respond to.
Finally, why do you like Bukowski? I have been attacked for

"Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are a bunch of practical jokers who meet
somewhere and decide to have a contest.  They invent a character, agree on
a few basic facts, and then each one's free to take it and run with it.  At
the end, they'll see who's done the best job.  The four stories are picked up
by some friends who act as critics:  Matthew is fairly realistic, but insists
on that Messiah business too much;  Mark isn't bad, just a little sloppy;
Luke is elegant, no denying that, and John takes the philosophy a little too
far.  Actually, though, the books have an appeal, they circulate, and when
the four realize what's happening, it's too late.  Paul has already met Jesus
on the road to Damascus, Pliny begins his investigation ordered by a worried
emperor, and a legion of apocryphal writers pretends also to know plenty....
Toi, apocryphe lecteur, mon semblable, mon frere.  It all goes to Peter's
head;  he takes himself seriously.  John threatens to tell the truth, Peter
and Paul have him chained up on the island of Patmos.  Soon the poor man is
seeing things:  Help, there are locusts all over my bed, make those trumpets
stop, where's all this blood coming from?  The others say he's drunk, or maybe
it's arteriosclerosis....  Who knows, maybe it really happened that way."

"It did happen that way.  You should read some Feuerbach...."

God makes us grubs, and we, by our own efforts, must become butterflies.

It's the final day of the year, and snow is falling steadily here in
balmy Portland, Oregon.  We have at least two inches this morning, the
