The major cause for the long waiting times during happy hour is not the lack of space in the machines, but the inability of the printers to keep up. The de lay is in the amount of time the executed program must wait in memory before it is printed. Some departments have pur chased their own computers in stead of using the DPC. Howev er, Simmons said there is no competition between depart mental computers and the DPC. “I fully support the depart ing theii ments buying their own compu ters,” he said. “The departmen tal computers fulfill a different purpose than the Amdahls do.” Ellis said the smaller depart mental computers allow for in teractive capabilities. In computer terms, interac tive means to speak directly to the CPU, or the brain of the computer. A non-interactive system does not allow a user to get farther thantthe computer’s memory and will not allow the user to get into the CPU. Although most users would not be able to tell the difference, the current remote terminal sys tem (Wylbur) does not allow a true interactive function. Wylbur is not an abbreviation. It was named after Wylbur Wright of Wright Brothers fame. A comparable system, also developed by Stanford, is called Orville. “We do not offer the students a true interactive system, but if a large user needed it, we could offer him that capability,” he said. Simmons said he is optimistic about the future of computing at the University. “Who knows what the future of computer programming at A&M is?” he asked. “It is at least ven There will continue i volution in computer gy and, as to what it w| years, is anybody’s gw “We try to have a i plan here (at the DPu the next five years Wf| have more distribute! ramming (remote tern mini-computers), andiL search programming, by B “We also have a goaljd|h e big every student literatein W a th ing — no matter whatt||L e d a s is — and we may a! 0 p e i atio creased resources front Wof the versity. Sirhan up for ’84 parole after nine-year sentence bartmen Gate rec United Press International SOLEDAD, Calif. — Sirhan Sirhan re-enacted his 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy nine years after the killing, despite his contention he could never recall the details of the crime, a former inmate counselor at Soledad Prison says. However, witness Bruce Nel son, 43, earlier failed a lie detec tor test when giving similar testi mony to parole investigators. Sirhan is the subject of a hear ing called to determine whether his 1984 parole should be can celed because of public outcry. The hearing entered its seventh day Tuesday. Nelson testified Monday he watched Sirhan re-enact the Kennedy killing in front of him and convict Carmen Falzone at Soledad Prison — nine years af ter the assassination. Sirhan always has maintained he cannot recall the details of the crime, although he does deny it. Nelson served a brief intern ship as an inmate counselor at Soledad in 1977.
