One tdvantss of getting a co'lcgo education, accord
ing to a new computer program being used on the East
Coast, is that it heresies your life expectancy.
The computer, fed information regarding past
tendencies for practically every piece of data that could
make a difference in a person's life, says that the more
education a person has, the. longer that person can expect
to live.
For a fee that usually is in the neighborhood of a
quarter, depending on what state you are in, the computer
will listen to your life's story and come up with a
probable lifespan. Emphasize the "probable'' though,
because as a UNL computer expert said Wednesday, it
is not always right.

"The computer, is ' based on' some ' tssymptions that
aren't always correct," said David Johnson, associate
professor of sociology.
- The computer follows a linear regression formula in
establishing life expectancies, which Johnson says is a
simple system.
"You could figure it out yourself," Johnson said of the
life expectancy formula, "but it would take you 10-15
minutes. With the computer it takes less than a. second."
Some of the data considered essential by the computer
are: a person's age, education, sex, childhood diseases and
what part of the country the person lives in ,
Other data considered are smoking habits, size of cay
that the person is from and any other information the
person might think is important.
After it is given all the information, the computer
figures the life expectancy for each of the individual
pieces of data. Then, when everything has been totaled,
a mathematical formula is used and a final total appears.
