The Price of Their Toys This year the science department at Benton had a new computer. The basic part of the Radioshack TRS- 80 was received last spring and they have received parts ever since. It was a three thousand dollar computer. Some of its basic parts were the video display, typewriter termi- nal, printer expansion interface, two cassette ROM and voice synthesizer. It could do routine laborious jobs at the speed of light and has been used so far for everything from computing grade averages to computing odds at Aksarben race track. Mr. Donald Lentz said that they’ve only scratched the surface of what it can be used for. What is the difference between men and boys? Yes, it’s the price of their toys. Jean Johnson S.S.

NDSU Teachers Are Only Human The teachers here at Benton, like teach- ers all over, have many activities other than teaching class. Some are coaches and many ate club sponsors. All of these div- erse activities leave little time for other things. • Teachers learn early in their careers that they must sit through an endless number and variety of meetings. There are faculty meetings, department meetings, district meetings, special committee meetings, book selection meetings, meetings to select and purchase new materials and PTSA meetings. Before and after school there are practices, planning sessions, rehearsals, and club meetings. Finally there is a home where the teacher can retreat and cook meals, shovel snow or cut grass, clean the house, and take care of the children. No, teachers are no different from oth- ers, they are just human beings. Faculty IS
