Shocker bowling lanes close temporarily

Bowling fans and pinhead pundits will have to find another place to bowl this week while the lanes at WSU’s Shocker Sports Grill & Lanes are temporarily closed. Located on the bottom floor of the Rhatigan Student Center, the bowling lanes will be out-of-service while new pinsetters are installed. 

The repairs, which began on July 31, will conclude by Aug. 12, and the lanes will reopen on Aug. 13. The lanes’ other services, such as its grill, arcade games and pool tables, will remain open and functional while the lanes are updated.

New process for WSU systems internet access

For university students, staff and faculty struggling to access the internet from WSU systems, WSU News has published a list of steps to troubleshoot and restore system connections with non-WSU traffic. The connectivity issues follow an update of expanded controls to protect university data and processes.

Those having difficulties accessing non-WSU systems can regain connectivity by visiting wichita.teamdynamix.com and signing into the Client Portal. Then users must search for “Firewall / Security Request” in the search bar and Request a Service with their WSU information.

For additional help or information, users can contact WSU’s Information Technology Services at [email protected].
