Building Unlocking Problems
OCM sincerely apologizes to the students and faculty who were
inconvenienced by buildings and classrooms that were not unlocked in
time for the scheduled final exams on Saturday, December 17.
All classroom buildings should have been open at 7:00 AM on Saturday.
However, a number of doors were not unlocked in time for the start of
finals. We thank those who reported the problem to the Classroom
Hotline, and we apologize for the slow response time in getting these
doors unlocked.
OCM and FM Building Services are reviewing all applicable procedures to
make sure that this problem is fixed, and to develop more rapid
response measures for the future.
Again, we apologize for this problem. It should not have happened.
Sincerely,
Steve Fitzgerald
Director of Classroom Management

Important Equipment Notice for Users of Newer Apple Macintosh Laptops
If you are using a Powerbook G4 or MacBook Pro laptop that has a DVI
connector for use with an external display or projector, you will need
to use a DVI-to-VGA adapter to connect your computer to the laptop
cable found in Technology Upgrade Classrooms.
All MacBook Pro computers require this adapter, but not all Powerbook
G4 systems have this connector. If your Powerbook was manufactured
after April, 2002 (667 mhz or higher), it probably has this connector.
If it was manufactured before that date, it will have the VGA port that
connects without the need for the adapter. The adapter that Apple
typically supplies with the G4 looks like this:
If you are using an Apple iBook laptop (all versions) or the Powerbook
G4 with the 12" screen, you will need to use the supplied Video-to-VGA
Adapter which looks like this:
If you are using a MacBook (white or black color) or the Powerbook G4
with the 12" screen, you will need to use a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter,
which looks like this:
