Students
Two University engineering
professors and a graduate stu
dent have received the Wason
Medal for research in con
crete from the American Con
crete Institute.
They are Professors Mer
lin L. James and Gerald M.
Smith, both in engineering
mechanics, and Lor en D.
Lutes an honor student who
received his bachelors and
masters degrees from the
University in 1960 and 1961.
Lutes is now pursuing ad

Institute of Technology.
The American Concrete In
stitute, an association of more
than 10,000 members, selected
the Nebraskans for their work
in analyzing and measuring
the response of reinforced and
progressed concrete to vibra
tions. Their research paper
was termed the most signifi

A MATH MAJOR'S HAVEN ... of computers to solve difficult problems Is located la
the Nebraska Hall computer center. The computers are available to anyone who prov
ides his own programming and cards.
Math Troubles? Computers
Provide Miracle Solution
By Randy Irey
Junior Staff Writer
Math majors take note
there is a place where you
can have those long problems
done in less time then it takes
to write them.
This miracle solution to
math problems can be found
in the computing center in
room 218 in Nebraska Hall
which is open to all adminis
trators, faculty and full time
students.
If the individual provides
his own programming and
cards, there is no charge for
unsponsored projects requir
ing less than five hours of
computing time. For longer
projects, a special request
must be made to the comput
ing center committee, accord
ing to Dr. Donald Nelson, di
rector of the center.
He said that consulting, pro
gramming and keypunching
services are provided by the
center for a charge.
The computer used by t h e
center is an IBM 7040, which
replaced another IBM com
puter last December. This
new computer has approxi
mately twice the capacity for
storage as the previous one
and can work up to forty
times as fast. The computer
is rented at a cost of $16,000
per month.
Specifically, it has the ca
pacity for 32,000 six character
(letter) words or the same
number of in digit words
(number).
"li's even possible to g e t
the computer to talk or sing,"
explained Nelson.
"The computer emits a fre
quency and when it's being
used you can tune a radio to
the computer's frequency. Af
ter a while you can learn to
recognize patterns. It's even
possible to create your own
programs. Once "we pro
grammed an IBM 1620 to play
a fugue by Bach."
Nelson noted that the use of
computers has grown fantas
tically in the three years he
has been on the campus. When
he first came here, the only
computer was an IBM 1620,
which "wasn't used much".
Lower Level
NEE3R
UNIVERSITY
Only about $2,000 worth of in
come came into the center.
"The following year, we in
stalled an IBM 1410 and in
come rose to $8,000. Last year
income neared $15,000," Nel
son said. "Since we received
the new 7040, our income has
risen to $30,000 per year."
As director of the comput
ing center, Nelson's main du
ties are to direct and watch
over the facility. In addition,
he must approve the projects
before the computer can be
used. "This is to keep people
from drawing pictures of Al
fred E. Neuman when a proj
ect with more value could
utilize the facility," he said.
Working under Nelson Is a
staff of six whose main Job
is to keep things running.
They orient the users of t h e
computers to its operation.
They also serve as consul
tants and help in program
ming the computer.
Each project requires a
separate program, or direc
tion, for the machine to fol
low. Nelson explained that
programming was like play
ing a game, "as long as you
follow the rules, you'll do al
right." The computer has two basic
conditions in its memory. It's
either one or two, yes or no.
The computer is built on this
basis of memory.
The computer center is not
the only location of computers
in the University which are
available for research. There
is an IBM 1620 in Ferguson,
one on the East Campus, and
one in the medical college in
Omaha.
Plans call for a new com
puter for the center in the
near future. It will be an IBM
3G3, model 50, which is ten
times faster than the 7040,
but rents for about the same
price $16,000 per month.
Nelson predicted the ap
pearance in the next few
years of a tremendous boom
in the use of computers in the
University. He expects to have
remote control "typewriters"
for use by the faculty with
which they could use the com
puter. The individual would
dial the phone number of the
GONGRATOITES
for
AND
for
their Enthusiasm
computer. Next, he would
place the phone in the "type
writer" and punch the de
sired buttons. Witlhin mo
ments the answer would be
returned. It could be called
"dial-an-answer."
The job of the computer,
according to Nelson, is to per
form a job which requires an
impossibly large number of
computations in a short peri
od of time. But he said that
it is "a lot easier to take a
course in computers" before
using the center.

Full-Time Manager
For Fraternity Food
A full-time manager is in
cluded in a proposed new fra
ternity food program pre
sented in a Food Managers
Association (FMA) committee
report to the Interfraternity
Council.
The manager would coordi
nate the program, including
ordering products and con
tacting the individual houses
weekly to determine the
amount of each product
needed during the week.
The program, which the
committee hopes to have in
effect by the fall semester of
the 1966-67 school year, begins
with each house submitting a
two-week menu which is rep
resentative of the meals
served by the house.
The menus would be re
viewed by a graduate student
or a staff member of the
Home Economics college.
About eight menus would be
prepared and probably be ro
tated every eight weeks.
All houses would eat es
sentially the same food dur
ing the course of a week, mak
ing it possible to make pur
chases in large quantities at
reduced prices.
Meals and individual pro
ducts within one week could
be interchanged by the in
dividual houses.
Each house will suggest a

be done to avoid the problem
of poor service and quality.
Contracts with the supplier

terminated at the end of the

Jewell pointed out that any
house wbich takes part in the
program must order all sup

none at all in order for the
program to operate efficient
ly. Houses which move into the
fraternity complex in the fall
of 1967 would only be part of
the program for one year. Af
