Lina Webb-Randle's mother gives her a check every semester to pay her tuition. This semester, Webb-Randle, a junior majoring in English, waited in a line outside the administration building for 30 to 45 minutes before the tuition payment deadline. I felt inconvenienced. That line may become shorter this fall if students take advantage of the option of paying with a credit card on the Internet. Starting this month, students can utilize this alternate payment option made possible through a software program called Touchnet, which works with the Banner system in connecting all university departments.
