Has this ever happened to you? You
have stayed up all night and wrote a five
page term paper only to reread it the next
morning to find out that you left out a
whole paragraph. If your like most
students here at Mars Hill you wouldn’t
even think about retyping the whole
paper. Wouldn’t it be easy to just go to a
computer and put in a disk, then add,
subtract, and move whole lines and
paragraphs. Some students fear that a
computer is too confusing and difficult to
bother messing with. They couldn’t be
any further from the truth. Computers
are designed to help you, not make things
harder. And if you do have a question
there is always an assistant ready to help
you at the computer centers here on cam
pus. The centers offer prewritten pro
grams called ’’Word Processers which
enable you to write term papers, novels
and stories. Some even have programs
that check your spelling, how nice for us
non-spellers. Matt Murray, an English
Major and personal PC owner says, ”My
Personal Computer helps me with over
half of my English classes, and I mean
helps!” Matt spends hours on papers that
would normally take him days if they had
to be hand written or typed. When he is
done with any of his important writings,
he puts in ’’Spell Check” and the pro
gram makes sure all is in order. If you
walk into Matts room and find him play
ing one of his many high graphic space
games, it’s only because he has time,
thanks to his PC!
