  • Page 4 The Western Carolinian Friday, December 11, 1964 Computer Is A Success Man over machine or machine over man? What do you think? Haven't made up your mind yet? Well, don't feel bad because there seem to be quite a few people with your problem. The machine has definitely come to Western Carolina, and it is here to stay. Last week, during registration, and weeks before, approximately 2099 students were registered by the 1620 IBM Computer. Many students have praised the machine, some have cursed it, and there are a few who refuse to comment on it. But regardless of what you personally think of the machine, the fact remains that 97% of the student body was scheduled by the machine, and according to Mr. Mike Kennedy of the Computer center, the machine itself did not make a mistake. Well then, you ask, why all the lines in front of Bird Building? Why did I have to wait hours to add and drop only to be told to "come back tomorrow." Stop and think about it for a minute — exactly why did you have to stand in line? Here are a few of the reasons; You may have been among approximately one hundred and fifty students who went simply to change professors, or you may have been one of the hundred and fifty who failed a course or made a D in your major. Possibly you had to pick up a Physical Education course. You may have been among one hundred students who were classified under miscellaneous, or you may have been one of one hundred The Interfaith Council conferred last Tuesday night, December 8, and decided upon the theme for Religious Emphasis Week, which will be held March 28 through 31. The theme decided upon was "Your Future is Now." The Council is presently engaged in deciding upon a speaker for the Week.

THE Book Store course conflicts. If you came under miscellaneous you may have been a victim machine or rather the victim of a man made error. Some students were rejected because they neglected to sign up for a lab. Some had to reregister because they were academically suspended and then readmitted. Others changed majors or met difficulties because they requested an absence. All these things are reasons why six hundred students stood in line to add or drop courses. But regardless of these problems the computer registration can be termed "a number one success." Perhaps you disagree witii this, but when you stop to consider that more schools have tried computer registration and failed than have tried it and made it, it turns out to be quite remarkable. And even more remarkable is the fact that it was all done by WCC students and Faculty members. The men behind it all are Dr. Floyd Cunningham and Mr. Mike Kennedy. During the Thanksgiving holidays these men, along with Bucky Dowdy, Randy Collins, and Larry Freeman and a very important person—Mrs. Mildred Taylor, worked day and night to turn out grade sheets and schedules. Doesn't sound hard, does it? But think about this. These people, with some pre-holiday help from Hans Tholander and Jane Randolph, did something which State College was unable to do with many more people and a lot more money. Mrs. Taylor had this to say about her part; "I wouldn't have missed the experience." The road to computer regis tration is a rugged one. It takes time and money and most important good personnel. Our center was not without its problems. Prior to registration the machine had been running perfectly. But as you might have guessed, registration fouled up the works. At ten o'clock on Sunday morning the machine broke down. A serviceman was called from Asheville; however, and the computer was running smoothly after hours of hard work. Another remarkable fact to those of us who know nothing about the mechanics of the Computer is that it took the machine only forty two minutes to schedule the entire student body. Another problem which helped to complicate matters was that some students signed up for four courses at the same hour so they could register by hand. The computer center recognized the fact that there would be a large number of drop and adds. But problems like this can and probably will be eliminated. If these smaller problems can be resolved there is no doubt as to the potentialities the system has for eliminating the pains of registration. The computer registration has been the topic of much discussion during the past week and no doubt it will be the topic of much more in the future. Perhaps you have not decided exactly how you feel about it, but it is obvious that the operations have been a success, and the people who achieved this success deserve much credit and thanks. Chow Time By F. D. Oliver College is a glorious and delicious feast, an almost inexhaustible collection of delicacies from the richest of viands to the subtlest offerings designed to induce gourmandizing in even the most recalcitrant partakers. It is the only four-year diet that requires constant consuming of a several-hundred- course meal. You can take as much or as little as you like, and it is almost impossible to partake too much for there is not enough time in the crowded days, and nights to sample everything. Everyone consumes the basic courses, served well, indifferently, poorly, cold, hot, or lukewarm, dependent on who the cook is. Then the diners return to the buffet to choose old favorites, or for the more adventurous, sample untried ones. But the saddening thing is that no one ever completely and thoroughly eats all that there is for him. Some don't like the fat, others the lean, and still others will take only the choice cuts, cooked until they are tender, highly palatable, easily digestible and utterly tasteless, but requiring no undue slicing, mastication or unusual flow of gastric juices. These are the pab- lum foods, nice for toothless babies or those in their golden years. But a college is neither a nursery nor a home for the aged. It is a restaurant, staffed with cooks, waiters and waitresses, hostesses in black dresses and glasses on a chain that make them look like cows trailing morningglory vines, some one Christmas Greetings By 'Grandma' Grandma Moses Christmas cards are appearing again for the first time ini nearly a decade.

A section of the restaurant is called The Library. Here are kept all the recipes the cooks use, and some that they never heard of. Such fun it might be to find a recipe for yourself from the thousands preserved there in the archives and see what you can cook up in your cranial kitchen. Surrounding this special local restaurant is a spacious garden that stretches for miles in every direction. Here grow sweet herbs, strange plants and a little lily that the ancient aboriginal inhabitants of this garden enjoyed serving as a dainty hors d' oeuvre before the Big Spring War Dance and Camp Fire Smoker. When dinner, or Spring Quarter, is served get there early and search the mimeographed menu for challenging and new dishes before giving your order to the IBM waitress.

We are supposed to despise her and we do, yet at the same time we admire her for the marvelous acting job she is presenting. Martita Hunt plays Henry's mother and gives a fine performance. Her gossipy scenes with Miss Brown over Henry's unnatural relationship with Becket present some of the finest acting in the movie. However, the movie basically belongs to Burton and O'Toole, and they vie constantly for the spotlight. I am tempted to say that O'Toole wins out, although it is a close race. You see BECKET yourself and then you decide who wins the honors. You certainly won't be disappointed because it's too good to miss! A spark and a breeze can ruin thousands of trees! 25 /Sfc BE CAREFUL *■* ^ WITH FIRE THE TOWNHOUSE Breakfast — Sandwiches — School Supplies Open 7:30 a.m. — 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday Sunday — 1 p.m.. 11 p.m. __
