"Only the real diehard student still uses a slide rule," said BUI Cummins, a local bookstore employe. "The demand for calculators is veiy great and they sell very well," Cummins said. He added that sales have slowed so far this year, but he attributes it to the fact that the bookstore no longer has the popular Hewlett Packard calculator available. : Tom Shores, vice chairman of the Mathematics Dept., said, "A very high percentage of students in classes, such as statistics, use calculators because it helps them get away Irom the drudgery of calculating. .

' Calcclslor labsetcp He said the department has established a calculator lab with teacher assistants rnoniteriag and helping stu dents use calculators. "Investigation of the situation has shown that the lab is not very well used. This indicates to me that most stu dents have already bought their own, Shores added. Keith Broman, Finance Dept. chairman, said, "I think that the use of calculators is very valuable because it greatly shortens the students homework time, which gives them more time to grasp the ideas which I feel to be more important than the numbers. Broman said he sees the day when calculators will be provided to business, math and science classes just as typewriters are provided in journalism classes. Senior Kim Hachiya, a business minor, suggested that a calculator could have drawbacks. If we are able to use calculators on tests, it is likely that they will be harder and I see that as a definite draw back, she said. Scecsss detaasds fgff s n But the Math Dept. does not allow the use of calcu lators on exams as many science classes do. Sophomore Bob Hachiya, a physics student, explained that he is able to do better on tests when a calculator is allowed. "It gives you more time to thimk and it improves your accuracy because if you punch the right button youH get the right answer, he said. The future of calculators, according to Oimmins, is very good. They are getting cheaper each year. He said the popularity of calculators is shown in the sales of sMe rules, which have been "zero. f COM a QOUOTIS MOTEL - RESTAURANT - LOUNGE . . wf . wit on i m js pciat cf no rsfera,- Iteij dsckrsd la his fcU KsstL- wiA Htdrt &a Cis xzzzUsy's arkhU frcn If yea dca't tuccssd, tlbs Ctstasm wH be too s5Jy ta ccaatsroplsts, fcaii aiisd fa a brisf rul! portica cf to UJ wsA tit.
