ITS Announces New System, Campus Pipeline, for Student E-mail, Information
Campus Pipeline is now available for Truman students, faculty and staff. The site provides students with Web-based e-mail and the University community can access campus announcements and news. As the SCT Banner implementation project continues, Campus Pipeline will provide students, faculty, advisers and staff access to many online functionalities. For example, students will be able to register for classes using Campus Pipeline in mid spring 2004 for the summer and fall 2004 semesters. Faculty will be able to view their class rosters as well as their teaching schedules online beginning in late fall 2003. Logon to Campus Pipeline and click on “School Services” to see the detailed list of functionalities.Students should access their e-mail through the Campus Pipeline portal. Prior access to student e-mail accounts were available through Eudora and Webmail, a Web-based e-mail.
All incoming students have been taught the new method of e-mail. Campus Pipeline is accessible by directing your Internet browser to http://pipeline.truman.edu. Student usernames will remain the same, but their password will be reset to their social security number without spaces and dashes.
However, students will be able to log in to their old e-mail account at http://webmail.truman.edu with their old password throughout the fall semester in order to read or copy their e-mail messages or retrieve contact information. In order to keep old messages from their old account after this semester they will need to copy them to Campus Pipeline. Instructions for this can be found at http://its.truman.edu/pipeline/.
Students who currently have their Truman e-mail forwarded will have to re-forward their e-mail using Campus Pipeline.
For additional help or problems accessing the new account, please contact the ITS Helpdesk at 785.4544 or e-mail them at helpdesk@truman.edu. Please send any comments, suggestions or concerns about Campus Pipeline to cpfeedback@truman.edu.

SERVE Center Coordinates Volunteers for Community, University Service
If you are interested in volunteering on campus or in the Kirksville community, the SERVE Center is ready to help hook you up with a volunteer project.The SERVE Center, located on the main floor of the Student Union Building, assists and promotes student involvement in community service.
The SERVE Center provides information about organizations that are looking for volunteers. It also assists volunteers in contacting someone involved in a particular project. Students can fill out an information sheet at the SERVE Center that allows the Center to notify a volunteer of an opportunity that appeals to their interests.
Upcoming opportunities available through the SERVE Center are tutoring at area schools and the Special Olympics Bowl-4-Gold on Oct. 26. This is the second year the SERVE Center has coordinated this event. Teams of five are needed to raise $25 per participant which will go to the success of the Special Olympics.
Another opportunity is to volunteer at the Family Advocacy Center. The Family Advocacy Center needs volunteers to assist with the after school program as well as one-time projects.
Contact the SERVE Center at 785.7222 for more information about volunteer opportunities.
Transit Service Available for Kirksville Citizens
If you don’t have a car, Kirk-Tran may be your
answer. Kirk-Tran, the public transit service administered by the City
of Kirksville, is a cooperative effort between the city, the Kirksville
Regional Center and OATS Inc.
Although Kirk-Tran is not an OATS program,
they have a contract with OATS to provide its buses, drivers and office
staff to this expansion of OATS services. The Kirk-Tran logo is displayed
on OATS buses while they operate during these additional times.
Kirk-Tran has added additional weekday hours
to serve its Kirksville customers. Kirk-Tran operates weekdays now from
6 a.m. until 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost of the ride is $1 each way, and reservations
must be made at least one business day in advance by calling the OATS office
at 1.800.654.6287.
Kirk-Tran is funded by the City of Kirksville,
Kirksville Regional Center, MoDOT and a grant from the Missouri Planning
Council for Developmental Disabilities.
KBIA Signal Now Rebroadcast on 89.7
With the help of the Truman State University tower,
and the purchase of some new equipment, and the cooperation of CableOne
and KBIA, members of the Kirksville community are now receiving a stronger
National Public Radio signal under the call letters KKTR. KKTR rebroadcasts
KBIA on 89.7 FM at 1000 watts, instead of the 10-watt translator (58 watts
ERP) that had been used in the past. This endeavor also gives Adair County
permanent access to KBIA.
For those members of our community who listen
to KBIA and would like to help defray the University’s equipment costs
associated with the new and stronger signal, a fund has been established
with the Truman State University Foundation to accept charitable gifts.
Gifts to the fund will be used this year exclusively for the purpose of
establishing KKTR to provide a strong and reliable National Public Radio
signal to our community. If you are interested in helping with this project,
please contact Dean Van Galen at 785.4133 or Heidi Templeton at 785.4016.
