INTERNET CLASS HAS OPENINGS

Openings are still available for a beginning Internet training class Dec. 11 from 1 to 3 p.m.

The class will be held in Room 103 of Dempster Hall on the Southeast Missouri State University campus. Participation is limited to 35 people, but about half the seats for this daytime class are currently empty.

"This class is designed for beginners, and we encourage those with little or no experience to attend," said Joni Adams, project director of SEMissourian.com, the official web site of the Southeast Missourian.

A series of Internet classes held throughout the fall have proven popular. Each class, including one on Dec. 8, has been full.

The courses have been offered through the cooperation of the newspaper's web staff and Southeast Missouri State University.

Members of the SEMissourian.com web staff serve as surfing guides and are available to answer questions and help individuals navigate the Internet. The university provides a high-tech classroom and each student has a computer.

Registrants will receive handouts on surfing sites for work and fun, and Internet tips.

Adams said the Internet class can serve as an introduction for more extensive courses offered by the university to the community.

Cost of the two-hour session is $10, which must be paid in advance at the Southeast Missourian, 301 Broadway.

Interested persons should contact Joni Adams or Peggy Scott at 335-6611 or 1-800-879-1210.
