Hi.

A friend of mine is studying at the University of Oxford, Mississippi at the moment and I would like to communicate with him via email.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS UNI HAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS?

If so, could you please give me a note?

Should one of the people reading this message be a student of this Uni, could you please contact me?

Thanx in advance, 
regards,

Michael

   I think it's high time to start teaching objective programming where  
   reusability is stressed.  Often programs are not written from scratch but  
   built from parts of other programs and objective programming stresses  
   this.  Objective programming is also where a lot of programming is headed  
   now.


NO no no.

O-O programming is where the industry's at NOW, and has been for
a fwe years. Probably the slow-movers will play catch-up as always,
but the frontieer (of the industry) is already looking into such
things as objects with persistance, garbage collection and
first-class status. Something the research arena has done since
the 1960s :-)

        This is an update to the information about Tammy Zywicki that I
recently posted to this network.  The body in Missouri was indeed
identified as being that of Grinnell senior Tammy Zywicki. I post this
information in the hopes that concerned people will continue the effort in
the hopes of bringing Tammy's killer to justice and making our roads a
safer place for both women and men.

        The letter makes references to a poster containing a police drawing
of the truck that Tammy was last seen getting into.  If you would volunteer
to post these drawings in your area, send your address or fax # to me and I
will get you copies of the material.

Thank you;

	YOU CAN STILL HELP IN THE SEARCH FOR TAMMY'S KILLER!!!


	Tammy Zywicki, a 21 year old Grinnell College senior, was abducted 
on Interstate 80 in Illinois, near LaSalle, on Sunday afternoon, 23 August.  
Her body was recently found along the side of a road in southwest Missouri, 
stabbed seven times in the chest and once in the right arm.  While the Search 
for Tammy is over, the Grinnell College community is continuing its efforts to 
find the person that is responsible for this horrific crime.

	The enclosed poster was the last one released, before Tammy's body 
was identified.  The truck is a white semi, with diagonal stripes of rustish 
color. 
        This truck has been identified as a vehicle that was parked in front of 
Tammy's car on I-80.  While the driver is NOT a suspect, the police are 
attempting to contact the driver in an attempt to discover what transpired 
on that Sunday afternoon of her disappearance.  If you have any information 
pertaining to the Tammy Zywicki case, or know anything at all concerning the 
truck, please call the Illinois State Police at either of the following numbers:

	1-815-224-1150   or 	1-800-U-HELP-ME 
 

	Please post this poster and keep your eyes and ears open for any 
information pertaining to this case.

I believe the college refered to was the University of Wisconsin. PC is an odd
phenomenon. PC'ers are generally labeled liberals when in fact they should be
labeled radicals. It's obvious that conservatives don't like PC'ers but I know
many liberals who hate PC because it basically an attempt at social thought
control. Most liberals believe strongly in freedom of speech and thought. 
PC tries to stiffle those freedoms. I do think that conservatives do 
use hyperbole in describing the extent of PC but they are right in 
condemning it.
 
PC's proclaimed purpose is to be non-offensive. However, the people who 
invent PC words don't seem to care what the people (who they are trying
not to offend) want. I saw something on one of the newsgroups that said
between 75% and 80% of dark-skinned people prefer to be called black whereas
only about 10-15% prefer African-American while the remainder prefer
someting else.

************************************* RESPONSE:
-- Sorry, can't help you with AFI, though I would expect that you show them
SOME right-brained activity (eg. photos, scripts, short films or videos) when
you apply.

While I don't particularly like the structure of the FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
Graduate film program (located in Sarasota), from all their literature I can
gather that they are very receptive to people with no film background.  In fact
the coursework appears to include all of the basics (non-sync sound filming,
black & white and color photography, basic editing, etc.) So, you might want to
look into them.

My only question is WHY are you getting these other two degrees (LEFT-BRAINED
ones at that)?  Anyway, good luck in your quest.  Oh, my advice would be to
apply to several schools as, generally, entrance requirements are tough and the
spaces available limited to between 20 and 40 students.

Good luck,

Oh, golly, this wayward cross-posted thread is the most fun we've
had here in comp.sys.mac.programmer since, I dunno, APDA threatened
to stop distributing software on floppies.

I have my own strong opinions on undergraduate education.  I'll reserve
them.  I feel compelled to argue, however, that Jason's assertion that going
to a particular first or second tier school is necessary if you want to go to 
graduate school is bogus in the extreme.  If you are a self-starter,
creative and are inclined toward research, it doesn't much matter
where you go as an undergrad so long as you have something, anything,
other than GPA to show for yourself.  95%+ on the GRE subject test,
for example.  A collaboration or publication or two.  A couple of
years of work in industry with good recommendations.  Strong personal
recommendations from people the graduate admissions office has faith in is
generally worth more than GPA or your pedigree.  What they look for
is mostly brains and stubbornness, both of which are required if you're 
ever going to get a Ph.D.  Deficiencies in background can be made
up in short order.

'Nuff said.  My final observation is that no matter where you go to school,
you probably won't find a class that will *really* help you write
Macintosh software.  Nor will you find a class that will get you a job at 
Apple or Microsoft et al. when you've graduated.  For that, you need an "in,"
which normally has nothing to do with where you go to school.

Hello,

I don't know if it is "ok" protocol to post code questions here... I apologize
in advance for any annoyance I may create. 

I am a beginning MAC programmer, and am working with the event loop concept.
I am trying to write a simple program which brings up the text window, and
then just runs through the event loop until you click on the menu bar. But when
I run it, it just hangs on me, and the debugger says that isEvent is _never_
true! Will someone enlighten me as to why this code doesn't work? Thanks in 
advance.

begin

 repeat
  isEvent := GetNextEvent(everyEvent, thisEvent);

  case thisEvent.what of
   nullEvent: {Do nothing} 
    begin
    end;
   mouseDown: {where is the mouse clicked?}
    begin
     whereIsIt := FindWindow(thisEvent.where, thisWindow);

     case whereisIT of
      0, 3: {In drawing window}
       gameOver := false;
      1: {in Menubar}
       gameOver := true;
     end; {case whereIsit}

    end; {mouseDown}

   otherwise:
    begin
    end;

  end; {case thisEvent.What}
  until gameOver;

end.


Thank you so much for your time.

Please forward the following letter to anyone you feel would be
interested.



Dear Campus Pro-Choice Activist:

On August 22, representatives from several campuses in Southern
California met to discuss fall activities, share ideas, and build
intercampus communication.  It was agreed that a coalition of Southern
California Pro-Choice student groups would be beneficial for
coordinating activities and to provide a network for the exchange of
ideas, resources, and assistance between Pro-Choice student groups.

Working together, we can have a larger impact on the elections and in
lobbying politicians.  Furthermore, by coming together now, we can
break down the isolation and barriers between us, paving the way for
future organizing and action.

If you are interested in representing your campus in the formation of
this coalition, or if you would like information on forming a
Pro-Choice student group on your campus, please mail me for more
information.
