University to add 2 computers
Systems now worth over $9 million
By David Page
When the University Computing Center was created 10 years ago. the university had only one automated information-processing system, an IBM System 370-I55.
Snce that time, various departments throughout the university have added nine more computers, said W llliam W agner. dean of the College of Letters. Arts and Science, division of natural scienes, and overseer of all of the university's computer systems. The systems are valued in excess of S9 million.
“We have three types of computers at the university." Wagner said. “There's the large computers, the medium or mini-computer, and the micro-computer, which you could buy at an electronics store."
Of the three computers, w hose total value exceeds $6 million, two are in the engineering department and one in the University Computer Center.
Before the end of the year, these departments will be adding two large computers, bringing the total to live.
“We're ordering these two computers simply because we have a greater need for information processing capacitysaid Roy Carlson, director of the Engineering Computer Lab.
The lab serves both computer science and engineering students. Carlson said.
“Nearly every engineering student will use a computer before he graduates. A computer is a fundamental tool in engineering, like a slide rule, except that a computer does so much more than a slide rule."
David Matthews, director of the Keck Management Sciences Center, the business school's computer center. said the mini-computer in his center can serve up
lo	40 users at one time.
Mini-computers at the university are valued from
SI00.000	to S200.000 each, depending on their storage capacity.
"I would rate our computer facility as one of the best anywhere, in terms of student and faculty availability.” Matthews said. "Despite this, we're just starling to get a little crowded.”
The facility is used primarily for solving specific business problems, Matthews said.
Tom King, direclor of Academic Support Services and supervisor of the University Computer Center (UCC), mentioned the possibility of a central computer system at the university.
“We've been talking about forming a network so that you could use any terminal in the university and get to any system that you warn. It would be useful in that some departments have information that we want.
