IBM METHOD
Record-Keeping
Gets New Look
W. A. Yarbrough, Charlotte
College business manager, has
announced that the college i s
using a new IBM method of keep
ing records of students.
The new system, he explained,
is much faster and more accu
rate than the old system used by
the college.
“It’s so much better that we
didn’t have to work during the
weekend when we were register
ing students for the new semes
ter,” he said.
Records of the approximately
850 students who registered for
spring semester were handled by
the new method for the first
time.
The new system assigns a code
number to every student, i n-
structor, and course. At the end
of the semester, the IBM ma
chine does the grading of the
student report cards, showing the
grade and quality points, M r.
Yarbrough pointed out.
At the end of each semester,
the grades and quality points for
courses completed will be posted
on the students’ report cards,
and each succeeding semester’s
grades will be added to the re
port card, he said.
When a student completes two
years of courses, the grades he
has made during that time will
all be shown on one sheet of
paper, Mr. Yarbrough explained.
The IBM machine work is done
by various Charlotte firms. The
college pays for an operator and
the machine for whatever time
it takes to do the tabulating, ac
cording to Mr. Yarbrough.
