I am not sure what the cost of the repair will be. The Language Lab will be closed the week of Labor day. This is a traditional vacation time. The Paroles French cassettes for the beginning level are available. Attempts were made to install the additional needed data port.
Port is installed, but there is no connection to the network yet.
The German and Spanish news were not recorded. The new channel for the campus teleconference satellite dish is now channel 5. It gets interference from local broadcast station channel 5. I have discussed the bad new situation with several people involved with the campus cable system, and they appear to be addressing my concerns. Possibly the satellite dish channel will be moved to a higher, clearer channel.
