The drainage ditch will reduce the amount of stagnant water that serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes that cause malaria. During their stay, the group experi­ enced the daily life of the Nueva Esperanza residents. "Each student came away with the knowledge and appreciation of a culture that is strikingly kind, generous, and ap­ preciative," Huy said. "The children were amazingly beautiful and innocent beyond measure, and the group _si>ent nearly every free moment with them." "Traveling and volunteering abroad can be an amazing experience full of per­ sonal insight, cultural exchange, and great acquisition of perspective," said Marcy Ryan, a human development senior.

Students visit Honduras to help hurricane victims Instead of traveling to exotic destinations to relax during spring break, nine Cal Poly students went to Honduras to help victims of the hurri­ cane that destroyed much of the coun­ try in 1998. The trip was sponsored by Student Community Services and was the organization's first international service event. "Hurricane Mitch left more than 2 million people homeless, hopeless, and living in subhuman conditions," said Matt Huy, a student volunteer and third-year ecology and systematic biology junior. "We witnessed naked children run­ ning in the streets and six-person families living in tiny homes made of only a tarp," Huy said. "The visions ofpoverty shocked the group and made us realize the great economic disparity between the United States and Honduras."

APRIL 12, 2000 CAL POLY REPORT. APRIL 12, 2000 ltath students aim to increase condor numbers Open University class rosters to be mailed A team of math students is helping to increase the California condor population with a project that has also earned them top honors -in the 1999 Math Serve Mathematical Community Service Projects Competition. Last year students Judy Fetcho, Joel Fish, Jeff Gray, Jeff Mintz, David Mintz, Andy Oster, Brian Miceli and Ryan TW-Iy­ Doyle and faculty advisor Professor The­ mas O'Neil became involved with the Ventana Wilderness Society's California Condor Restoration Project at Big Sur. The team developed a mathematical model and is using a computer simulation to make population projections, which "will benefit the overall California condor program in terms of deciding on the most effective restoration strategy," said Kelly Sorenson, wildlife restoration coordinator. The students are also creating a data­ base that includes information on every living condor, both captive and wild, and all that have died since 1987. "Critical to any population projection program is good surviv&}-rate data," O'Neil said. "Little is known about how California condors hatched and reared in captivity will fare in the wild." The students' project earned the high­ est designation - "Outstanding" - from the MathServe Mathematical Community Service Projects Competition, sponsored by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications and designed to provide mathematical support to a public or non­ profit agency. D The first class rosters for students en­ rotted through Open University (fOffilerly Concurrent Enrollment) are to be mailed to instructors April 19. A second class roster will be mailed M;ay 3. the Open University program through Extended Education enables people who are not Cal Poly students to enroll in university courses.

In special circumstances, the award might be given io a postdoctoral research fellow working in coatings technology. Joe Cristiano, president and chief executive officer -of Kelly-Moore said, "Cal Poly has been a wonderful source of candidates for employment in Kelly-Moore. They have a very effective industry-related program, and we are proud to have the name of our founder, Bill Moore, associated with the un-iversity." The donation by Kelly-Moore is pledged over three years. 0 El Corr-al Bookstore is conducting a comprehensive survey of faculty members to help improve its operations. From textbook availability and pricing to book selection, academic so,ftware, store hours, and s_pecial events, fa~ulty members' opinions play an important role and carry a great deal of weight on cam­ pus, according to Frank Cawley, director of El Corral. The goal of the survey is to address key issues affecting faculty members ' satisfaction with store operations. The survey was peveloped for El Cor­ ral by the National Association of College Stores, of which El Corral is a member. To ensure objectivity with the results, completed survey forms will be forwarded to NACS for analysis. The verbatim report­ ing of comments will be completed by the association's research staff. ­ Surveys are being sent in campus mail. For more information, call Theresa Kaiser at ext. 6-5317. D ltath students earns top honors in contest ~ team of Cal Poly students has once again finished among the world 's_best in an international mathematics competition. The team was among 48 groups out of more than 700 teams from nine countries to earn a first-place "Meritorious" award in the recent Mathematical Contest in Modeling, 2000. In addition, Cal foly's team was among five that earned an "Outstanding" designation and whose solution papers are to be published in the Journal of Under" graduate Mathematics and its Applications. Also, the Mathematical Association of America chose the Cal Pol-y team of Jeffrey Mintz, Aaron Newcomber and James Price to present their solution paper at the joint American Mathematical Society/Mathematics Association of America summer meeting to be held at UCLA in August. This year, of the more than 700 teams that began the competition, only 495 sub­ mitted a solution paper. The competition, sponsored by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Ap­ plications, lasts 89 grueling hours. The contest begins on a Friday at 12:01 a.m., when each team is given two problems from which to chose one. The team must submit a typed solution paper for judging _by 5 p.m. Monday.

The plants, in nursery containers, will bear fruit that varies in size from grape-like fruit in large clusters to fruit that can weigh more than 5 pounds. Almost 40 varieties will be available, including some that are white, pink, green, yellow, orange, purple, black, striped and, of course, red. Some are sweet enough to use for wine, according_to Environmental Horticultural Science Pr-ofessor Dave Hannings. "There are drying tomatoes, paste toma­ toes, slicing tomatoes, salad tomatoes, sauce tomatoes, and generally just good eating tomatoes," Hannings said. Most are heir­ loom varieties, some are modern hybrids, one gets 25 feet tall, and several have strange shapes. Quantities are limited. 0 ITS offers more software for less money Cal Poly is working to make more soft­ ware titles available to campus computer users while saving money for the institu­ tion through "KeyServer," a program that eliminates the need for buying individual software licenses. Information Technology Services:{ITS) is offering faculty members free access to such software programs as Photoshop, PageMaker, Illustrator, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Director, Fireworks, Delta Graph, and Sound Edit. Access to KeyServer is free to faculty members and is available to non-faculty personnel for a nominal annual charge. "KeyServer is being implemented to take advantage of concurrent software licensing to better meet the needs of our customers," said Marsha Epstein, ITS training coordinator. "KeyServer works in much the same way as a library, with software licenses being checked in and out automatically." There is no noticeable difference in response time between "keyed" and regu­ lar software because each keyed software package still resides on the computer's local hard drive. Over the Cal Poly net­ work, the user's computer will instanta­ neously get a ..key" from the KeyServer to allow the desired application to run. The major benefit is that a software license is not connected to a specific ma­ chine. When a user quits,the application, its license is relinquished back to the cen­ tral pool of software for use by others. KeyServer is intended to increase use and save money by allowing a large number of people to use the same software without having to buy individual licenses. To get access and to learn more about KeyServer, contact the ITS KeyServer administrator at keyserver@polymail.ca/ poly.edu or ext. 6-6059 or visit the ' KeyServer Web page at hltp://keyserve'r. calpo).y.edu. 0 E-mail to Credit Report A reminder: All information submitted to Public Affairs for the next edition of The Credit Report must be sent by e-mail to polynews@polymail (@calpoly. edu).
