There are two major concerns
tq considerJfManst computers

_
.
The
.
basic operation of the
computers could
fail
and cause
a crash. The second is that
there could be major problems
with the fina11cial programs and
programs use_d
for
scheduling
classes .
.
The remedy for such an issue
·
would
.
involve shutting down
the
·
_
entire system to reset the
date.
If
necessary, the process
would take a couple of hours to
execute.

"Our computers are set to

the year
2000,"
Khan said. "As
far as I know everything should
be fine just like Y2K worked

three excuses to go out every
weekend: I just turned
21,
I like
to drink and I wanted to write
about the local drinking estab-
lishments.
The first place I visited last
Friday was Brady's Pu~Iick
House on Garden Street. It is a
small bar that offers a relaxing
and friendly atmosphere. You'll
find random tunes emanating
from the jukebox
·
and people
.
lined up at the dartboard. Some
nights you might be lucky
enough
.
to catch a live band.
The drinks were reasonably
priced ~d the staff was friendly.
It
isn't the type of place that
you would expect to see bellig-
erent people,
but this night was
different. A patron had too
much to drink and after vomit-
ing all over the floor they were
asked
to leave.
After
this
unsightly incident,
I left and went to The Derby on
Main Street. Both a driver's
li-
cense and college identification
are required for admittance into
this bar and proper attire is re-
.
quired. There was a liv_e band
playing a mix of alternative and
classic rock
.
Budweiser bottles
were the special for the night,
but it
didn't attract many
.
At
1

15
people in the bar. My fri~nd

and I remained there until ,_t

and then
called it a night.
