(USC photo - First Stat< Installed 4 The University has started spring semester with a new Coin puter Center which will be used for educational, research and ad ministrative purposes. The Computer Center in the Administration Building is the only one in a South Carolina in stitution of higher education, and only one other state agency - the State Highway D)epartment -- has anf identical unit. The University Computer Cen ter is equipped with an IBM 1620 electronic data processing com puter andl an IBM 1622 card reader punch. Most of the Uni versity's data processing equip ment already on hand was re tainedl. President Sumwalt has ap pointed Dr. J. Hubert Noland as director of the University Com puter Center. Dr. Noland will di rect andl coordinate the use of the computer for its primary purposes, education andl research. Administrative use of the new high-speed equipment is super vised by T. Luther Gunter, who heads the Data Processing Service. Punched cards containing proc essing instructions are first fed into the computer. It can "re member" 20,000 digits of instruc tions in its "magnetic core memory," to use the words of com puter programmers. The instructions tell the com puter what to do with the infor mation which will be provided for it later on other punched cards. Speed and accuracy are the prin cipal assets of a computer system. Before the University obtained its new equipment, data processing time for the campus payroll was Round-Up Of Organizations, HYPATIAN SOCIETY Toni Metcalf has been elected president of the Hypatian Literary Society for the spring semester.

The 1620 will zip through the payroll in 20 minutes. IBM and USC personnel have been exploring many possible uses in addition to those for which it was obtained. There is no doubt it will be better for some adminis trative headaches than a carloadf of aspirin. For example, the equipment can compute examination schedules to eliminate conflicts, saving a great dleal of time and trouble for stu dents and professors. It could be usedi to compute the most efficient way to utilize classroom and resi dence hall space.
