Aljuding to the President’s own assertion that his. administration is '‘dedicated” to the cause of equal job- opportunity ..in hiring by tjoyernment or its contractors, WilkinV declared, “it will require sucfc dedication" to. na}u! the Or- de# effective, especially/ in the 'ibo miny cohtractftrs in the South, Mr. Wilkins asserted, “have come to believe that their in discrimination obligations een be satlsflQd by tokens or by li]|;ser- vice.” Decisive action | at the outset, the 'NAACP leader said, will yield “manifold gains later by dispell ing^ these" assumpHohs . ; > 7^ In concluding, Wilkins s'tressed Uint Vlqe-JJrefiident Lyndon B.

It replaces two committees set up by President Eisenhqwerr—the Committee on Government Em ployment Polji^ pnd the; Conwnit- tee on Government Contracts.

Wilkins wired the South Qiro- lina official protesting the arrest of the students who had been peacefully demonstrating against bias in employment and public ac commodation ahd against the rac ist policies of the state’s Commit-^ tee on Segregation. Wilkins pointed out in his wire that "the arrests were made on complaint of state officials based on a technicality that demonstra tors were making illegal use of statehouse grounds.” He reminded the governor of the constitutional rights of free sp^h and assembly and “peti tion of redress of grievanceB.” He asked for in^mediate release of the students.

By Regina Jellivet:* TALLAHASSE — Living it mid campus in the basement (rf the Jackson Davis Building, the cam pus brain, better known as the IBM computer, is busily making F’s to the dismay of several' students. Since its adoption at Florida.A. end Ml JniverSity in 1963, the IBM computer has be^n^a time and work saver. The brain, whose total lease cost is $2,234 per month does not actually replace workers. But to give you an idea of its speed, it performs in two days the functions carrie^l on h;' 15 typists and five accoui^tants in one month. If all the machines were in use for a 24 hour period, 3,816,960 cards could be produced. A unit of the department of records and admissions which is headed by Edwin M. Thorpe, the IBM department is supervised by Gilbert Taylor, with the assistance of Nathaniel Simmons. Staffing four other employees, Prii|ce Hin json, machine operator whey special izes in grades, Willie iJ Robin son, machine operator; Mrf Adron Turnquest, key punch c|)erator; and Mtss Gwendolyn McKieever, part-time operator and special stu dent; they maintain an ejght to five and a half day weelf^.in a program that is effective year round. The basic machines used in the office which ar^ considered 'to be one unit are the key punch sorter and counter. However, the. office houses three 024 key punches, two 063 sorters, one 519 document originator, one 085 interpreter, ane one 056 card verifier. The computer, which while fol lowing procedure is quite easily manipulated, needs a trained operator with technical know ledge to facilitate the setting of its various parts. During registration and semes ter end, the busiest time of the year, an 18-hour day is usually maintained. In fact, at semester end the machines require only two and one half days to compile and report the grades for the 2,- 887 students enrolled at FAMU. First the cla.ss card is sent to the IBM department and is punch ed with the name, number and al phabetical number of the student. Then the card is sorted by clas^ r«^ordeF-a»d*rettiri)ed;ite thc*ifl- ■structor. The instructor checks the cards against the students physically present, makes adjustments and returns them to IBM. At IBM a preliminary class report is made on the 407 machine and; is then returned to the instructor for ver ification and adjustment. This pro- tedUTriS canted oir dgring the first' nine weeks of the semester. Beginning with the 16th week, the final grade report is begun in class roll order. Both the grade cards and the report are sent to the instructor. After finals,'the grades are^ “marked sensed” (that is the instructor writes the grades with a graphite pencil which con tains clectrical pulses to which the computer is sensitive) into each grade card. A' final check is made, and the cards are again sent to IBM. With the 519 document originat ing machine, the grade' and points earned for each class of each stu dent are punched into card. Stu dents failing a course are selected frqm grsde cards and a listing of these students by classes is pre pared. When this has been ac complished, the cards of students on probation are separated from those of^students being suspended. The 083 sorter then arranges the cards in sequencial alphabetical order. The finsl student grade card is prepared and sent to Mr- Thorpe. After this the accounting machine posts the grades for the current semester on the perma nent record. However, grade reporting is not the only function of the IBM de partment. Accounting records are also prepared which include cash receipts, listings and totals-, jour- nrl vouchers, budgetary controls, student accounts, and fee registra tion which includes dormitory, laboratory, room and board, a nd £!cncral fees. Presently, according to Mr. Tay lor, FAMU is using only about 60 per cent of the actual capabilities of the department, but in the near future he expects to have' the machinery working to capacity through' the addition of another staff member.
