Titans battled the computer last fall, but the winner of the match was undecided. The machine threw its first punch when students found themselves with wrong class assignments and five times as many study halls as last year. In assembly line style, Techites migrated to the Barn to be processed for ID cards-complete with code numbers and photos. By school rule, Titans carried the cards and prayed friends didn't ask to see them. Lack of roll rooms frustrated Techites, especially Seniors! Third hour was extended, and a new time schedule furthered the confusion.

A computer may deal with data, but it can hardly express solitude or togetherness. Neither can it number and code the quality of a person Personality is not programmed. These too elude the machine. Each person is himself-an individual-a hu- man being. Titans enjoy people, and no machine can argue with that. 6, s- 44,'1.:e- ,,,,fqm, M-- xut- -.ev-1 - - 4, -.....':.iF.. '-. , ' 1219- r
