Kennedy's i^i-6ias Qrfler In
Jobs is Seen as Aid to Inplopent
Npr YORK—In the ^AACP
view, President Kennedy’s Execu-
tive^prder establishing a new com
mittee to fight bias in hiring by
the government and its Jantract-
ors can be a major step forward
in the continuing effort to end
racial , discrimination in coun
try.
‘‘How far jt will go in di
rection depends, as the drier it
self notes, upon the vigor, consis
tency and thoroughness with which
it is enforced,” Roy Wilkins, exe
cutive secretary, said in a state
ment issued March .7.
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.
Johnson'.who will head the 5*w
job qpportunity committee, has
“an unparalleled opportunity to
set a historic pace in Uiiti phAe
of the mareh toward fair treaV
roertt for all Americans.”
The President’s Committee on
Bqurl Employment Opportunities,
as the agency will be known, rep
resents Kennedy’s first major
civil rights action.
It replaces two committees set
up by President Eisenhqwerr—the
Committee on Government Em
ployment Polji^ pnd the; Conwnit-
tee on Government Contracts.
Secretary of Labor Arthur 9®W-
berg will serye the new committee
as its vice-chairman and wiU exer
cise generaU supervision over the

partly ili Latin, between Roy Wil
kins, NAACP executWe secretary
and Ernest F. HoUings, S. C. gov

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.
Gov. Hollings-responded; “Wheh
clear and present danger of riot,

hreatt to public safety, peace or
order, apepars, the power of thifc
state to punish is obvious.
“Salus populi suprema leit (the

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.
