Number 32 Conference attracts computer buffs Mt St. Helens after eruption By Sandy Johnstone Of the Emerald The development of technology for computer graphics will be the subject of the First Annual Pacific Northwest Com puter Graphics Conference Oct 25-26 Conference coordinator Gene Bressler says visual simulations created with computer technology are applicable to many fields "Simulation is one of the most impor tant mechanisms decision makers have, says Bressler Because computers can simulate real life, various situations can have a trial run on the computer with no dangerous or expensive consequences, he adds "Let the computer make the mistake not the architect," says Bressler. an it architecture professor "(Com puter graphics) are not ^ a cure-al! for all problems. „ but they are a useful tool for society In the past, computers were only for computer scientists." he says "Now they're for people like me." The two-day event, expected to draw some 600 participants to Eugene, brings 12 leaders in computer graphics together at the Eugene Hilton Hotel and Conference Center, in what Bressler hopes will become an annual event Randall Stickrod, editor and publisher of the San Francisco publication Com puter Graphics World, will discuss the evolution, current applications and fu ture trends in the keynote address at 7:30 p m Oct 25. 1* Tickets still availal About 1.000 students withstood early morning cold and afternoon sunshine, to buy tickets for the Notre Dame Oregon football game Monday outside of McArthur Court.
