Beware! 1 l ang Knows All And Tells All. Two o'clock on a warm, hazy afternoon—a faint hum fills the still air of the math office on the sec- ond floor as the Wang 2200 pre- pares for another day's work. It sits ominously like a mystical diety, a watcher, a ruler, but yet some- times the nemisis of some students of Alta High. The Wang 2200. this mysterious figure, is the attendance comput- er for Alta High School. It monitors and prints out absences (excused and unexcused), check ins and outs, vacation releases, activities, and sluffs for every student, every period, every day of the school year. Each day 112 teachers feed the Wang 2200 about 1000 indi- vidually punched computer cards, containing the names, periods, classes, and teachers of each stu- dent reported absent from class. The Wang digests these cards in about two hours and burps out an absentee list containing about 250 names. Any absence from any class, or all classes, places a student's name on the daily ab- sentee list. This list is divided into four class columns and often runs 8-10 pages. The Wang 2200 does not exist to catch students with unexcused absences, it merely is the slave of the cards sent to it each day and must faithfully spew out the infor- mation fed it. But yet Wang, for students with too many absences may be friend and foe. He may expose those who play the system or may warn those who need a protector. Wang has a memory that lasts about nine weeks. He stores all in- formation on every student in the school and gives the attendance office a quarterly summary. This in- formation is sent to the district and state to secure allocation monies to support the school and thereby feeds Wang. So BEWARE WANG!! He knows all and tells all. Sophomores 193
