THE BATTALION
Classroom Computers Move
Prof Surprised
With Cake Party
By Absent Class
Peking’s Opponents Prepare
To Seek Out Mao Supporters
Closer With New System
The concept of computers in the
classroom moved a step closer to
reality at Texas A&M this week
with the university’s announce
ment it will install an advanced
IBM 360/65 system in its Data
Processing Center.
“This third-generation comput
er is as sophisticated as any in
the entire Southwest and one of
the finest on any campus in the
country,” noted A&M Engineer
ing Dean Fred Benson.
Dean Benson said that in addi
tion to being five times as power
ful as the university’s current
equipment, the new 360/65 will
incorporate remote capabilities
enabling professors to operate
the machine from classrooms or
laboratories and receive their in
formation on TV-type screens.
The new computer will be in
stalled during the Christmas holi
days.
“We hope to be doing a little
of the computer-in-the-classroom
work next spring and be going
pretty good the following fall,”
the dean remarked.
In addition to opening new
areas in instruction, the 360/65
will enhance Texas A&M’s fast
growing research program.
“We’ve gone about as far as
we can go with our current 7094
which is the top of the line in
IBM’s second-generation equip
ment,” Dean Benson observed.
The 360/65, capable of storing
more than a half-million char
acters for rapid access and
billions for random access, should
handle the university’s require
ments through the early 1970’s.
Dean Benson explained the new
machine has “building block”
capabilities allowing expansion to
meet the requirements of a grow
ing university.
The 7094, which now carries
most of the Data Processing
Center load, will be tranferred
to the university’s Cyclotron In
stitute and used to monitor its
giant new “atom-smasher.” The
universtiy also will maintain one
of its three 1401 systems.
Texas AM was one of the first
universities to use computers on
a large scale and is now taking
a leading role in the national
trend to make the machines avail
able to students as part of their
normal course work.
Six Hours Credit
Is Given For
‘School At Sea’
As Dr. Delbert McGuire walked
into his 10 a.m. Journalism 420
class, he noticed something dif
ferent.
No one was there.
Bewildered, Dr. McGuire trod
softly back to his office. He was
intercepted by student Neal Cook
and was led into the journalism
library.
“I heard a remark in a class
this morning about my departure
August 1; but I really didn’t ex
pect anything so soon!” McGuire
said, smiling towards a large
cake with the inscription “Best
Wishes to You" across its middle.
Sandra Kirchner, department
secretary, and the missing jour
nalism students greeted McGuire
with slices of cake and fresh-
perked coffee.
As to who bought the cake, the
blushing secretary revealed: “I
used the profits from our coffee
money.”

ing, and Bruce H. Frank, project
coordinator with the Wakefern
Food Corporation of Elizabeth,
N. J.
Moder, who is also vice-presi

Atlanta Inc., is a consultant in
scheduling problems and the
author of several articles on
project management and control.
He is co-author of “Project Man
agement wtih CPM and PERT,”
a book written in collaboration
wtih Cecil R. Phillips, who was

jointly sponsored by A&M’s Texas
Maritime Academy and College
of Liberal Arts, utilizing a 15,000-

“Texas Clipper,” as a floating
classroom.
While getting a taste of the sea,
qualified students may earn col
lege credit in English, history,
government and mathematics.
Credit for the courses may be
applied to a standard degree from
Texas A&M or another college or
universtiy. It also can be applied
to a TMA course of study lead
ing to a Bachelor of Science de
gree in marine engineering or
marine transportation.
