Our boys go through avery rigid basic training as they start preparing for the many tough teams they willmeet.

Presenting a different halftime show at each football game necessitates hours of practice. At the moment we may not feel any effect of the advanced research being done at industries such as TRACOR. We soon need to take note. Computers were first a novelty, then a wondrous discovery restrained to math- ematical fields. Now, there are few fields that are not able to use them beneficially. We accept computers as an every day occurrence. They do so many small things like synchronizing street lights and sched- uling students. Soon results of computer research may also predict our future way of life and what we should do. Computers are used extensively in outer space and underwater research pro- grams. At TRACOR computers synthesize cave atmospheres, then test their reactions. If we ever live on, the moon or in the ocean, it will be because of the initial computerized explorations taking place now. 9

L Example of the unlimited possibilities for computer help in research is the simulation of ocean conditions at Tracor. Instead of renting an ocean, experimenters perform tests on a com- puter programmed to act like an ocean. Jamie Holtzman listens to recordings of computer activ- ity at the University of Texas Computer Center where Cindy Snowden draws on the screen of a cathode ray-tube display console. Intriguingly new! r 1 i.....- Z. A Municipal Auditorium parking lot was the assembly point for the band when it participated in the Aqua Festival parade. Maroon band was the second to march down Congress Ave. to the capitol building. New UT center aids students, researchers in curricular proiects A Sprucing up the Aqua Festival float are Ed McMahon, Coryell Price, and Susan Sparenberg. Hemisphere, the Student Council float, won first place in the miscellaneous division of the annual event. Twenty-four hours a day, the Com- putation Center of the University of Texas, which serves the entire University com- munity, is active. There is no vacation. Organized in 1959, the Center has grown rapidly to its present capability of providing complete computing services to the University's students, teachers, and researcher. It will continue to expand. Advanced computer systems are used for compiling and programming language development, for computerized artificial intelligence and information storage and retrieval. Possibilities for use are unlimited. These are available to students, faculty, and staff to prepare their own programs as part of academic research and experimentation. 11
