According to Flinn Gilland, as sistant registrar, the machinery will be brought to the University in three parts: an alphabetic ac counting machine, a reproducing punch, and a sorter. An order for rental has been placed with IBM, Inc., of Columbia, with de livery promised within 90 days of the date ordered. Mr. Gilland states that many clerical jobs now performed an nually by the registrar's office will be performed more accurately and in a fraction of the time by the machine. Principal among these proce dures are the preparation and is suance of reports, and the prepa ration and maintenance of per manent academic records-two jobs which up until now required tremendous amounts of clerical labor. With the installation of IBM service, reports will be is sued in quintuplicate (copies to parent, student, dean, registrar and veterans administration) en abling all concerned to preserve cumulative records for reference purposes. Mr. Gilland points out that un der the new system final grades, grade points and averages will be posted on permanent records three to five days after reports are is sued, whereas the present anti quated method of hand entry re quires two to three months after the close of every semester. Numerous uses will also be per formed for the veterans division of the registrar's office: lists by service serial number, claim num bers, etc.; lists by public law 346; breakdowns by marital status, liv ing quarters, (en or off the cam pus), males, females, branch of service, etc. The student personnel bureau with its guidance and testing ser vice will utilize IBM by prepara tion of data pertaining to the stu dent's environment, training, pre vious experience, and interests.
