A reorganization in the
computing center and the
installation ot 19 new Apple II
micro-computers may help to
ease the overcrowding that
caused problems in past
years
The computing center,
which previously operated as
Contract in Academic Pro
gramming, has split into two
separate divisions
The Academic and Re
search Computing division
will deal mainly with student
and teaching concerns,
while the General Applica
tions Programming division
will aim primarily at adminis
trative and special purpose
work
According to ARC member
Rich Haller, the new pro
grams will make the center
much more efficient
"The main focus of ARC is
on helping the students and
teachers understand how to
use the computers," says

Haller With the change,
we’ve freed up time that
previously had to be spent on
non-academic concerns "
The 19 new computers
more than double the
number of terminals availa
ble
Hour-long waits were not
uncommon in the past, but
with the installation of the
new computers, the problem
should be alleviated, Haller
says
But while the center has
become more efficient, it
remains extremely under
staffed, said Haller. The en
tire staff consists of only nine
people and several student
workers
Haller cited funding prob
lems the reason for cutbacks
on staff and center hours.
“ We don’t have the staff or
the money to keep open any
longer than we do," Haller
says “It’s ridiculous how lit
tle time we have "
