What are the People Asking?

Students on campus and an azalea grower in Costa Rica are among the many, many people requesting information through the UC Davis Home Page. Here is a sampling of the kinds of messages sent to Ken Weiss and Steve Faith at the www@ucdavis.edu e-mail address.

  • Is it possible to get information about UC Davis by this way?

  • I grow azaleas, and I am interested in a method to make azaleas bloom. I know there is a way of forcing them by submitting the potted plant to a temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit, during a 4 weeks period. However, I need to know if the plants have to be at 36 degrees during the whole period, and if the light has to be kept on all the time, or simulate night and day periods.

  • Hope you can help me, maybe you can tell where can I obtain the answer to my search.

  • How do I access the ftp sites?

  • I am looking for some material on Enheduanna, priestess of Innana in Babylon c 2300. A Lycos search gave me One document at "http://pubweb.ucdavis.edu/Documents/RTS23/chart.txt". Would you have any other information that I could get access to.

  • My friend would like to find out some information about transferring money to UC Davis. He will be a freshman this coming fall.

  • I would like any info on how to shoe horses for ringbone. Thanks for any info.

  • I am searching for information on the effects of the application of Amino acids in the production of oranges, or please tell me where to look.

  • I am a first year student at UC Davis and I need to do a ten-page term paper about computers in nutrition. Mainly, my topic will be on the comparison between two software programs and their good and bad points with a business in nutrition/dietetics. The only problem is, I really don't have a good idea which two programs to use and discuss about. Could you tell me how and where to search for the two suitable programs for my paper? Please get back to me ASAP.

  • Hello. I sent my SAT scores a few weeks ago and I was wondering if you have received my scores yet. Your reply would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hello, I wish I knew what I was doing on this thing.
