S52: well you could capitalize it, the holy city. [S48: (xx) question ] but you don't have to. cuz like if you put_ does he have Jerusalem there too? 
S48: yeah holy city of Jerusalem.
S52: or does he just say the holy city?
S48: well, [S52: what is it? ] it kinda ch- interchanges_ the holy city of Jerusalem got (the strip) a holy city, that's not capitalized. (xx) 
S52: 'm'm. cuz if he says the holy city, [S48: that's capitalized ] and don't say the of Jerusalem, i'd probably say yeah, you know, but if it's just
S48: it's_ having it not capitalized like, holy city of Jerusalem is sort of like describing it as that but it's, not original you know, it's not like just an adjective it's like th- sort of a title of it, but you know, so i don't know.
S52: the holy city of Ann Arbor. <S48 LAUGH> the holy city of, Detroit.
S48: <LAUGH> (which) is not exactly the same. [S52: but ] cuz this is like, different to that. [S52: as the holy city? ] i'll just put it in as a question i'm sure he knows since he's
S52: you're just trying to f- trying to give him a hard time. <LAUGH>
S48: actually most of my comments in here are not (xx) [S52: oh really? ] (this is) a really good paper. [S52: wow ] i was just confused as to why he felt (comforted when he's telling) the story about, going back there and seeing all this like army stuff and he felt before i was like 
S52: what is he? is he Palestinian, or, or Jewish?
S48: i think he's Jewish. [S52: oh okay ] that's the impression i get but, [S52: so like ] cuz he seems to sort of side with the Jewish idea here but, [S5: just a little bit. ] i don't know. see that's (what) i need more explanation (xx)
<P :07> 
S52: oh i was, i was thinking, i saw some activity going on, i was like, like th- they're getting restless. like like like like let's go let's go eat lunch now, you know. <S48 LAUGH> i mean dinner.

S52: i wonder did Alina, did she do any of that kinda stuff? 
S48: no but i don't know you wouldn't be able 
S52: but they don't want any Russian or Latin they want English.

S48: yeah so i can improve the t- quality of my voice. <SS LAUGH>
S52: your inflection. you was like if i can write in- [S48: sound better on paper ] if i can write inflection, then maybe i can talk inflection. (that was) it's possible <P :04> like we're halfway through this semester, you know?

S48: hi 
S71: hi i was just trying to check out a book (xx)
S48: oh okay. (xx)
S52: what is it? 
S48: she said her, um 
S52: my computer's not working.
S48: her account is inactive she doesn't know why.
S52: okay
<P :20> 
S52: you know you could do some of this stuff. just checking to see why accounts are inactive. it could it could just be simple stuff. 
S71: (but) what i really need to know is how i can make it active again. <LAUGH>
S52: we'll find out. let's see. which account do you use? [S71: um ] which account are you using?
S71: should be a student, a graduate student
S52: are you a uh, like a, G-E-O or something? or G-S-I? 
S71: not right now, [S52: not right n- ] not this term.
S52: okay. cuz see both of 'em are inactive and i'm trying to figure out which one i'm supposed to be looking at. okay i'll look at the first one then... whoa. let's see. (V...) three. let me see let me see let me see. eleven, no. no. what's today's day? it looks like the only thing_ are you 
S48: do you want a banana Joe? 
S71: twenty-fifth
S52: i don't know where's it been? are you, 
S48: up on the desk i don't know 
S52: are you currently taking classes? or 
S71: no i don't have any classes this term.
S52: are you registered?
S71: um, no but i'm gonna be. i was registered for the summer and [S52: that ] i'm gonna be registered for the
S52: is why your account is inactive.
S71: well i am a graduate student (xx)
S52: well what are you doing right now though?
S71: right now i'm writing my dissertation (xx)
S52: that should do_ that should be something, but let's see i'm trying to think. do you have any, anything from your department with you or, [S71: um ] cuz typically how it is is, um, usually if you're not like registered for a class after a certain day you're ac- library account expires.
S71: i thought that they would like send me a message or something
S52: no it just does it automatically.
S71: (oh boy,) (yeah well) this is for my, so if i bring you something from my department, [S52: i hate that question. ] if i bring you like a letter from my department that says i exist then, [S52: uh ] that would do it? is that what you're saying?
S52: yeah that's fine. i guess. um, it's just policy. what i'm gonna do_ what i mean what are you d- what are you trying to do right now?
S71: i'm just trying to check a couple books out.
S52: turn 'em in? 
S71: check them out. 
S52: check them out. okay. i'm gonna do something i'm gonna just go ahead and, make it active for today. [S71: okay ] but like you might want to grab something for the so the next time. [S71: (i will) do that. ] the reason why i say that about the, printer question, is cuz like, they all supposed to be working, you know what i'm saying? but look. where am i? 
S71: (do you have my) card?
S52: i do. 
S71: just checking
S52: <P :04> i wouldn't (tell on her.) <S48 LAUGH> okay you can you can check out books now. [S71: thank you ] for today. 
S71: downstairs?
S52: downstairs up here, you know. 
S71: well as long as i'm here. <LAUGH>
S52: yep, now what is wrong with this compu- 
S48: is this still on her? 
S52: yeah <P :08> (xx) <P :06> <SINGING> (xx) 
<P :07> 
S48: um, so, that's two items instead of uh
S52: okay, so make sure you see two items. 
S48: oh no (it's) not here (it) just um, [S52: well re- ] took it off the 
S52: what did you do?
S48: it just, beeped off of the (mousepad) 
S52: have you checked have you checked out anything yet?
S48: no
S52: okay well just, scan it. (xx) [S48: it says there's an incorrect ] don't_ that's, that's just little stuff. i mean it does that sometimes.
S48: it doesn't usually say has two items.
S52: well you know. you got little electrons running around in the system, and an electron might, [S48: oh yeah (right) explain to me Joe <LAUGH> ] no really. electron might, decide hey i wanna be a, a two item, barcode today. [S48: mm ] i'm telling you. most kinda interference and stuff, [S48: yeah it's just electrons being annoying. ] just i mean that's what it is. <P :21> i think i'm gonna just turn my computer off and turn it back on. see what happens. <P :06> well hello. 
S72: (how are you?) 
S52: how are you? i'm doing, great. 
S72: (is) (xx) (here?)

S52: i'm, i'm gonna shut this down.
S48: were these just in the, thing, Joe?
S52: yes 
S73: you don't you don't have to be an engineering student to log on to these computers do you?
S52: uh, no
S73: i didn't think so okay good. just making sure.
<P :12> 
S52: (whoa...) (where's the) barcode...? these are funky ain't they? <P :04> now but if you have problems, with the computers, [S73: yeah ] um you wanna, go to the CAEN office. so if you like go to the computers and have a problem, you will want to go to the CAEN office, and ask, [S73: oh yeah ] talk to them.
S73: that's what i'm worried about cuz, i think the computers here all_ you_ they don't_ you don't have to have a CAEN account though i don't think. [S52: uh ] i think i heard somewhere that you might.
S52: yeah, just go try it first and see what happens. [S73: yeah ] okay, see your I-D? ba ba. hope it works.

S77: yeah
S48: (that's long) if you wanna try that i don't know
S52: P-C
S77: i mean it's just gonna slip right off of there. 
S52: wait a minute a P-C? hm i'm not familiar. we use Macs.
S77: (well Mac you you can't use it here) 
S48: Macs you have to trash the disk to get it out but P-Cs should have a thing.
S77: yeah [S52: yeah ] it doesn't work. <LAUGH> 
S76: yeah 
S48: yeah 
S52: ooh
S77: yeah exactly. 
S48: so, it's really stuck.
S52: hm, i don't think we'd be able to do anything. um, 
S76: you could reboot it. 
S52: lemme lemme ask back there in back. 
S78: excuse me you don't have a stapler like behind the desk that i could use? 
S77: no it won't, i need the disk to get out, so i can get off the damn computer (xx) 
S76: when you reboot it it should go out. reboot it again.
S77: the disk'll pop out?
S76: i think, i think for the Mac it it pop out.
S77: how does it pop out by itself though?
S48: for Macs you have to 
S75: for Macs it pop out 
S77: i i'm not on a Mac i'm, i'm on a P-C.
S48: yeah P-Cs always have a button.
S77: yeah, and the button doesn't work.
S48: is it like there's something wrong with the button or just like it (xx) 
S77: yeah, yeah th- and it won't even read my A drive like the whole drive is screwed up and there wasn't a note on it that said don't use it. 
S48: uhuh 
S77: yeah
S48: CAEN's closed, i mean we can 
S77: you don't have any tools or anything, that i could, use? [S48: not really ] pliers or something? needlenose pliers? 
S52: here's your change and uh, your account has been cleared, okay? 
S48: no, (xx) scissors and that's not gonna help but 
S52: uh, P-C P-C
S77: do you know anywhere were i could get tools? <LAUGH> pliers...? [S52: no we don't ] needlenose?
S52: these people are all gone. we i mean we have people that like, do work around the building, but they leave at four. um, [S77: sure ] and i can't believe CAEN closed. uh, and so wait a minute you tried rebooting, the computer? 
S77: no 
S52: you sh- is your stuff saved? is it
S77: it's all on a disk and i was trying to read it, [S52: but is it saved on the ] it won't read on the disk 
S52: oh you're just trying to read something off the disk?
S77: yeah, and now it's stuck in there, and it won't come out. cuz the button's broke... <LAUGH> if you can believe all that.
S52: man to tell you the truth i don't know what to tell you man. uh <P :06> who's back there? just Danielle or somebody?

S52: who? who? Lona? <P :12> hey y'all don't know, excuse me, y'all don't know any special trick to um, get a disk out of a P-C do you? like i know about the Macs but not the P- cuz the you know that the P-Cs have the little button, and like if you put a disk in there and it's just the button don't even work. so
S79: no i don't cuz, i never work with the P-Cs [S52: yeah ] Zip disk (xx) CAEN, (xx)
S52: they're closed
S79: closed?

S52: well he went over there and 
S79: yeah. i don't know (xx)
S52: you think they might know something? [S79: yep ] a trick?
S79: yeah because they might uh, work on P-C (xx) 
S52: uh maybe. i'll send him over anybody any- get him away from us. <LAUGH>
