Charger Card problems experienced by students earlier this semester are now under control, according to Barbara Rogers, assistant director of auxiliary services.

In June, there was a switch to a new type of software to be used in printing the Charger Card reports. The problem resulted from corrupted files from the former system that printed student accounts when the cards were used.

Students also experienced problems with printing and making purchases from the vending machines. Freshman Adam Murphy says, �I feel the Charger Card is an inconvenience, even though it was designed to help us out.�

In theory, the problems with the charger cards should now be solved. Rogers reports that as soon as the Coca Cola Company returns to campus and turns on the machines, the cards should work.

Rogers says, �What I like about this new system is the new printer is faster than the old one.� Now, in less than four minutes students can have a charger card printed.

Students must have Charger Cards to print on any of the school's printers or to make copies in the student center. They may add cash to the Charger Cards to pay for purchases from the bookstore, cafeteria and vending machines.

Also, a list of discounts and freebies offered to Charger Card holders is located just inside the Accounting Services Office in the Administration Building.

Rogers says, �Together we're all working to make the charger card more efficient and desirable, but with progress comes frustration. So please be patient.�

If students incur any other difficulties, Rogers ask that they stop by the Charger Card Central Station, located beside the bookstore.
