Southwick said he was asked, "Why has the DSU IT department been going to such lengths for marketing this project? After all what is so difficult about adding a "D" to your Dixie ID number?" IT is actually improvising, Southwick replied. A project like this normally takes years, adding more e staff, consuland a lot more montants, he said. However, the ey, IT department will spend what it must to support campus with this transition, Southwick said. The main reason for the marketing now is to bring awareness to students who will be using their accounts over the summer FILMS E DIXIESUNNEWS.COM and to prevent as much confusion as possible when 9,000 students try to log on in the fall, Southwick said. DSU Films has been playing a big role in the marketing, with two films already out and two to go. IT had asked DSU Films for its help at the beginning of February to try and help promote this "mundane information," said Ben Braten, director of film production and editing. "We are all kind of like giant geeks, and so we all like 'Lord of the Rings'... We all have that in common right?" Braten chuckled. Braten said he doesn't think most people know how difficult it is to actually put something like this together. You have got to find the actors, the costumes, order the costumes, wait for the costumes, find out the masks are awful, make everyfor future IT projects like one's schedules work, and a single sign-o- n system, sometimes stay out until 2 where you will only have a.m. filming, he said. to log in once to access all So far about 16 students your accounts, Southwick and a handful of staff said. have been involved with The new Dixie ID projthe filming, but Braten d ect will bein-itiateMay estimates about two to 16 Students, faculty and three dozen students will staff will have to rememhave been involved when ber to place a "D" before everything is said and their student or employ ee done.

Harris said the lawsuit should take about another year to be finalized, depending on DSU's response. Combined with taking 21 credits this semester, Harris said dealing with the lawsuit has been stressful, but she's happy it's moving forward. "Me and Woods are doing it for the other girls," she said. "I've lost a whole year of playing It's just not basketball fair, and I'm glad the girls this year didn't have to deal with that, but last year it was hard for all of us." Harris said she and her parents sought legal action after Turner was not terminated after some team members expressed their concerns multiple times to the DSU athletic department and administration. "Boothe knew about it and didn't do anything," she said. "We approached him earlier last year before everything got worse, and he just swept everything under the rug. As the athletic director, you should help the players. He listened, but he didn't do anything about it." Boothe and other members of the athletic department declined to comment.
