IBM 360-75 Coming To Life As UNIVAC 1105 Is Buried By BRIAN RAY The card on the wreath of pink gladioluses read, "In memory of a faithful friend." Signed, "a user of UNIVAC 1105." UNC Computation Center As sociate Director, Webb Davis, smiled and shrugged, "I don't know who sent them. "They arrived last Saturday the last day the computer ran." UNC's biggest brain, the 1105, is being dismantled and put in storage this week to make room for a bigger and better system. The new system to be used by UNC will be "10 to 15 times more powerful than the 1105 the only one of its kind in the South," Davis said. "It will be ready for oper ation around the end of Sep tember. "A large IBM 360-75 comput er will be located in the Re search Triangle for use by the three schools. We will have a smaller IBM 360-30 here, which will feed and receive data from the 360-75. "The computers will use a direct line telephone to com municate by means of electri cal impulses," Davis said. The computers will cost the University about $325,000 a year to rent from IBM. Davis said that "the University's share of the 360-75 computer will run $185,000 to $200,000 per year the smaller computer about $140,000 per year." "Tin cost of dissecting and moving the UNIVAC 1105 will be about $1,000," Davis said. "It will be temporarily stor ed in a state warehouse in' Butner," Davis said. "Later it will be made available to the state technical schools." "It will probably be used for teaching purposes." The 1105 computer had a variety of uses. It was used for many research projects, teaching in the business school, - f i ' - - " "s I 1 . f data processing in the Depart ment of Information Science and preparing the payroll for the university.

High smith said last week. The college's board of trus tees made a bid on July 21 to become the fifth campus of the Consolidated University. Highsmith said his college made the bid because of a re cent 10-year study authorized by Governor Moore to be made of all State institutions of high er learning. "We are not interested in rushing into the General As sembly next year with a pro posal for another branch of the University. But this is the time to see if there is a need. With this kind of planning we will have time to be ready in the next 10 years if and when a favorable decision is render ed." The Asheville-Biltmore bid will be considered by the Ex ecutive Committee of the UNC Board of Trustees September 9. occupation for which eyesight is not necessary. "The 1105 computed for 53, 806 hours since it was install ed in 1959," Davis said proudly. they received a polite snub from police when they asked to press charges against Ku Klux Klansmen who manhan dled them during a rally in downtown Raleigh. Instead, they said, Klan Se curity Guards and the two plainclothesmen escorted them from Nash Square where the rally was being held. The three reported only mi nor injuries. The charges were made by Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Krames and Reid T. Reynolds. Kram es is a 22-year-old senior in history from Greensboro and Reynolds in a 24-year-old gra duate student in sociology from Ossining, N. Y. Krames' wife, Louise, graduated last June. They charged that their rob ed attackers melted into the crowd of 1,500 Klansmen while two plainclothesmen stood by and referred them to the near by police station. The "plainclothesmen" were later identified as Det. Lts. Edgar Duke and Larry Smith. A Wilmington television newsman filmed part of t h e scuffle in which the three were attacked. Krames said the fight erupt ed after a handful of robed Klanswomen grabbed his wife and "puller her and jerked her, and she swung back." Krames said Klansmen and Security Guards threw him to the ground twice, and hit him on the head with a heavy flash light before the two plainclo Poverty Problem Should Be First Aim Says King By DON The cry for Black power" is heard today because of the reluctance of white power to do enough to remove the op pression of Negroes, Dr. Mar tin Luther King Jr. said Mon day night. Appearing on the North Car olina News Conference, King declared, "We will h ave to have shared power. Black su premacy is just as dangerous as white supremacy." Asked if there is a general swing toward militancy in the Civil Rights movement, King cripple everybody education not the trend in the Negro com munity. I am opposed to violent militance. However, we must be militantly non-violent. Most Negroes are dedicated to tactical non-violence." When questioned about the cost of a program to help elim inate the cause of poverty that affects so much of the Negro population, King estimated a cost of $100 billion. "It will take at least $10 billion each thesmen broke up the fight. Reynolds said he was also thrown to the ground twice and punched. "I don't think the police did anything wrong, except they let the Klan run rampant. They wouldn't press charges. They let the Klan take over the park and take law into their own hands. What kind of law enforcement is that?" Krames said he and his wife both wore civil rights buttons to the rally, but did nothing to incite the Klansmen. "I just stood there and lis tened. I'm not crazy. .I'm one among 1,500," he added. Krames said after the offi cers broke up the fight, he and his wife singled out two (Continued on Page 7) On The Carolina Style Returns More Football Preview The Health Of Davie Poplar Letters Attack Editorial A Batcave In The CAMPBELL year for the next 10 years to deal with the widespread pov erty in this country." This expenditure, he said, shuld have priority over the Viet Nam war and the space program." "Nothing can be more ruinous," he said, "than spending all that money on things so far away, and letting the people here at home be de prived of the chance to make a decent living." Asked to comment on the recent report showing the great inequality in white and Negro education of school teachers. King replied that this is a general problem throughout the country, though more so in the South. "The segregated school sys tem has done a great deal to cripple everybody, education ally," he said. "The system has not only harmed the Ne gro, but the white students also." "There have been signifi cant gains made through the Civil Rights movement," King said in assessing the past 10 years. "But on the other hand, look at the distance we have to go. At this time, only about 5.3 per cent of the Negro school children in the South go to integrated schools. At this rate of integration, since the 1954 Supreme Court decision, it will take 97 more years to complete the process." Is it true that the recent riots will dampen the efforts by Congress to pass Civil Rights legilation? "Some of them (Congress men) are using the riots for an excuse to not vote for the bill presently in Congress." said King. "Now many of the northern Congressmen are showing their hypocrisy. They always voted for the CR bills which affected the South ex clusively. The open housing section of the present bill will apply to the North, very sig nificantly, and many of them would prefer to not vote for it." Inside Library
