The University has installed 12 new eom-
rnter terminals for student use in the main
ibrary terminal room, but only four of them
work
The system lacks a memory board, on
order from IBM, in order to support all 12
terminals, according to Walter McRae,
associate director, administrative office of
computing and information services.
“Each terminal requires a certain amount
of memory within the computer to function
It turns out that we re right at the borderline
in terms of capacity. We have five terminals
up but we discovered that it a sixth terminal
is brought up, the system fails,” he said.
The memory board costing $2,300 should be
delivered from IBM within the next two
weeks.
“But we want to look at this positively,”
McRae added, "There are five more ter
minals available than there were last
quarter.
"We thought it would be better to have a
small system up than none at all," said
Larry Reagin, terminal room consultant,
and a senior in management science. “It just
New terminals lack needed memory board
takes time to iron out all the wrinkles."
When the system has its additional
memory, the computer in the main library
could carry a maximum of 32 terminals,
although the terminal room has only enough
space to accommodate 24 terminals.

There are about 200 departmental ter
minals on campus which are used by the
department faculty and their graduate
students for grant research and instructional
purposes
The grad studies computer center has four
publicly available terminals in addition to
the 12 in the main library The only require
ment for use of the equipment is the person
know how to use the computer and have an
existing account on it.
Most undergraduate students in computer
instruction classes use punched cards in
stead of the terminals, but the terminals are
quicker than punching the cards, said Laura
Hackemeyer, a management science major.
Most typical sessions with the computer
terminals last about 15 to 20 minutes The
public terminals are available on a first-
come, first-serve basis for students and
faculty, said McRae
“The terminals are a great asset to the
school, but they need to try and get all of
them working at the same time though," said
Beth Pye, a junior in computer science, “But
if the terminals are all full, students can
alwa_,., punch cards instead. ”
Terminals in the Grad Studies computer
center are open 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and the terminals in the main library
are open only during normal library hours,
McRae said.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
From Page 1
Stipends with “active"
programs averaged $4,650,
the survey revealed
One way graduate
students with assistantships
could earn more money, thus
alleviating their financial
burden, would be by ac
cepting more than one-third
time assistantships;
however, many departments
do not offer more than one-
third time assistantships
because of the financial
burden the department
would have to assume.
The maximum
assistantship allowed is two-
thirds time. One-half time
assistantships require 20
hours of work per week by
the student, and two-thirds
time requires 26 hours of
work. One-third time
assistantships require 13
hours of work per week.
Hermit Jeffers, an
assistant to Dowling,
estimated that 85 percent of
the students with
assistantships teach one-
third time.
Many assistants are upset
with the 10-hour rule because
of what they say are invalid
reasons presented by the
administration for in
stituting the rule. Dowling
said the rule would en
courage graduate students
to finish their work faster,
and would not let students
take advantage of the
University by enrolling in
five hours of classes and pay
less for tuition, but using the
University's facilities as
much as students who pay
more for tuition. Dowling
said the rule would "fully
enroll" students and prohibit
“hanger-ons."
Okagaki said the GSO feels
differently about why the
rule was implemented. He
admits it will allow students
to finish their work faster,
but he said many problems
can arise from this, mainly
scheduling conflicts
"Sometimes only one or no
classes are offered which
you need in your course of
study" for a particular
quarter, he said, and with a
required 10 hours, a student
may end up taking a class he
does not need.
“It is our (the GSO’s)
belief that the 10-hour rule
was implemented primarily
to raise the amount of money
(the University would
receive through the system's
funding formula! rather
than help graduate students,
as some administrators have
said," Okagaki said
“The administration is on
record as saying the 10-hour
rule would have helped
graduate students," but the
administration never con
ferred with the GSO about
the rule. Okagaki contends
The administration denies
that the rule was im
plemented for the sole
purpose of increasing
revenue, but concedes that
the University will receive
more state funds Ad
ministrators contend the
rule was implemented to
help the students finish their
work faster, and help the
graduate school as a whole.
The 10-hour rule will be
fully implemented by fall
quarter 1982, Dowling said,
and all assistantships of
fered next year will require
a 10-hour class load
