Mueller Center Used Book Exchange
Finished reading a book and don't know what to do with it? (Don't want to save it, can't bear to just toss it.) Or maybe you want to get something new to read, especially while working out on one of our cardio machines. We now have a book exchange, in the bottom left drawer of the file cabinets next to the cubicles on the first floor. Just help yourself to any book in there, take as many as you want. And when you are done finishing a book, why not drop it off in the Exchange for someone else to read.
New Music System
For the music for the main floor of the Mueller, we had been using a CD player, which had a nasty habit of playing just one disc and then stopping. The people at the front desk can't really hear the music playing in the cardio room, so it would take a sustained period of silence before we caught on.
Brian Napier went to a lot of trouble to change the system so it played music off my computer through Winamp. There are still a few kinks to fix - we apologize for the moments of dulling quiet that have happened.
First of all, we are just learning the quirks of Winamp, like one time somehow it had been turned to "mute". Also, there is a cable that goes under the front desk and we have discovered it sometimes gets unplugged.
At the moment, only Amanda and I can log on and get to the music. We are working with the systems people at the Union to set up a dummy account which any student worker can access to play the music. (The account has been set up, but it doesn't have access to the music file yet.)
