News Briefs • Microsoft
media to be renewed July 1 Microsoft media to be renewed July 1 As Carolina prepares to renew its contract with Microsoft effective July 1, faculty and staff need to be aware that Microsoft software obtained through this University program cannot be used for personal purposes but rather can only be used for work-related business and research. Also, faculty, staff and departments can no longer obtain the Microsoft media CDs through the RAM Shop. They can obtain the media CDs by e-mailing software@unc.edu for the CD Exchange Program. In the program, users exchange a blank CD of their own for one with a copy of the requested software, which is provided at no cost. The software titles offered under this agreement are: Windows; Office (for PCs and Macs); Front Page; Visual Studio.net; and Publisher. Additional parking available during summer session Parking is available at the Wesley Foundation, across Pittsboro Street from the Carolina Inn, from May 20 to Aug. 16. The cost is $100. For more information, call 942-2152.

The theme and logo this year is a composite submitted by three people: Melissa Hobgood, Graduate School; David MacDonald, School of Information and Library Sciences; and Dail White, School of Pharmacy.

New web site offers local health information NC Health Info has launched a web site, www.nchealthinfo.org, that features local health resources for North Carolina. The first phase focuses on collecting electronic health-related resources and links from across the state, such as area cancer support groups, medical specialists, immunization clinics and sites that address public health issues, such as the safety of eating fish caught in a local stream or the health consequences of hog waste. Information about these resources is being sought from health care workers, public health professionals, librarians and individuals experienced in finding local health resources. To contact NC Health Info, see www.nc healthinfo.org/contact.cfm PlayMakers receives grant for next season PlayMakers Repertory Company has been awarded a $50,000 grant by the TCG/Pew Charitable Trusts National Theatre Artist Residency Program for its ongoing work with actor and director Trezana Beverley.
