Learning — Form and Feeling ..0U5 Learning — frustrating, challenging, excit- ing, stimulating, boring . . . these feelings are experienced by all students. As much as we complain about all the time we put into our studies, we realize that it will all pay off in the future. Our education will serve us well in not just doing our jobs better, but in coping with life in the real world better. Learning can take many forms. It may be studying texts in a favorite spot or practicing scales and chords on a piano in Haas. Learn- ing can be simple as looking at and observ- ing the structure of the skeleton or just listen- ing and taking notes during a lecture. BSC provides one of the most enjoyable places to learn. We have good professors, well-kept facilities, and a beautiful outdoor environment. The years spent at BSC learn- ing are among the happiest in our lives. 28

Waiting forever to get a terminal, short hours, and many frustrated people, are pop- ular characteristics of the computer center at BSC. A limited number of terminals, and the increasing demand for computer courses, caused many problems in the computer cen- ter located in Ben Franklin. In the near future these problems will hopefully be solved by expanding the system and installing new ter- minals. The computer center is utilized by many dif- ferent areas on campus. It serves academic, administrative, and research communities on campus. Scheduling by students is totally re- lied upon by the system. Science students also use it to correct their lab experiments. The system, UNIVAC 1100-21 has a main memory storage of one million characters of information. BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, and ASSEMBLER are typical examples of languages used on this system. i t .w % :;: •jfi L W M i i t p4,!.; , - ; t m- ROGM F:l.
