To experience this wonderland, residents and visitors can drive through the magical won- ders of Isle of Lights. Isle of Lights was established in 1993. Isle of Lights is a Christmas light display put together by themes. As you travel through the world of lights you will see nine different light displays. These displays in- clude: the Land of Oz, Zoo Land, Candy Land, Reindeer Land, Mu- sic Land, a Kansas section, Pride of America, a Nativity scene and angel section. Anyone is welcome to experience this wonderland of lights, even tour buses are welcome, but must call ahead. Donna Homan, president of the of Isle of Lights board, said, “The best part of Isle of Lights is that it is all community. We have no paid workers helping. It’s great to see the community coming together for the holiday season.” Pixie McCoy, Isle of Lights trea- surer, said, “The greatest thing about Isle of Lights is that it is free. We do put this display up for the communi- ty and hope they enjoy it. We’re not looking to make a profit. It’s a labor of love. We are truly blessed with all the donations we receive.” Each year the donations received are used to add or replace the Christ- mas light display. However, this past year, the board donated its earnings to Island Park.

Merengue, a Latin dance, was the theme of the night. Students had the chance to learn to dance for free while also socializing. Health Week brings debut of merengue during Dance Night By Benjamin Whitener Staff reporter Say bye, bye to IQ Web and hello to Self Service. On Nov. 23 IQ Web will cease to exist on campus. Self Service, will replace IQ Web on the same day. Stacy Townsley, registrar, said that the change is being made because it is time for a routine upgrade. The change is also being made to make the process of registering for classes easier. Kyle Garis, game de- velopment junior, said, “It’s a pain trying to use IQ Web to find classes to set up a schedule.” Self Service will offer a new fea- ture that allows the student to link their academic plan to their sched- ule. This means that whatever class- es are listed on an academic plan will be set up for the student in their schedule with minimal effort. Townsley said, “The interface is more intuitive and user friendly.” One of the downsides to switch- ing systems is that students have to create new accounts and passwords. The password from IQ Web does not transfer when Self Service goes into effect. Password requirements for Self Service are also stricter than IQ Web. Students have to create more complex, stronger passwords. The user ID will change from the user setup name to the nine digit stu- dent ID number. This makes it easier all around and it will match Black- board user IDs. The good news is that transferring your account information will be easy. When students first go to the Self Service page there will be a link IQ.Web to be replaced by Self Service system Alejandra Rojas/Collegian photographer Elizabeth Hill, elementary education junior, and Justin Fruck, psychol- ogy junior, practice their steps. The lessons were part of health week. Dorothy Pleas, director of Cam- pus Life, said Campus Life tries to organize events in which students are able to participate and have fun. “This year we wanted to make it healthy and dancing is healthy,” said Pleas. Two instructors from Wichi- ta’s Care to Dance Studio were invit- ed to give the students dance lessons. “It was easier than I thought. The instructors broke it down so it was easy to learn the steps,” said Bran- don Hessing, coordinator of student foundation. Nicki-Kay Nichols, health and physical education junior, attended dance night for the first time. She said, “I had fun. The instructors took their time explaining the steps so it was easy to follow.” Also at Dance Night was a best- dressed competition. The winners were Katie Bipes, athletic training sophomore, and Nathan Morrison, athletic training senior. After the students got a chance to learn and practice the new steps there was a dance off. The winners of the dance off were Elizabeth Hill, elementary education junior, and Justin Fruck, psychology junior. Tory Dreger, athletic training ju- nior, said it was a lot of fun. “It was an easy going and light atmosphere to be around in,” he said. Although the event was moved to a later time due to the basket- ball tournament, there was a good turnout. “The turnout was good. It worked. We had just enough to fit, so it was great,” said Hessing.

All of the changes can set your head spinning and there is no for- mal training session planned to get students up to date on the new sys- tem. There will, however, be a FAQ’s (frequently asked questions) section of the system where students can find information that other people have asked about and possibly sub- mit their own question. Townsley said that there may also be a webi- nar setup for the new system. The webinar would give students a run through on how the system works. Although there is not going to be a training session for students, there will be one for faculty. Ben Lim, vice president of information ser- vices, said the functionality of the faculty side of self service is a little more difficult. Faculty will benefit from a training session. There will obviously be some is- sues for some students and faculty so a hotline will be made available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednes- days. A user guide will also be made available for those who prefer to troubleshoot on their own. On the off chance that the change- over develops some difficulties, there will be a notification sent out and the system will not be put in place until the following weekend.
