g The machine pictured leads a varied existence which exercises considerable influence on the student's daily life. The machine performs many tasks that the student is likely to take for granted. The columns of his morning Herald are kept 'justified' fi.e., its margins are kept even, for those of you not programmed with such journalistic informationj by the machine's ability to insert hyphens, as the student drives to school his progress is limited by computer- controlled traffic lights, he leaves the expressway via exits designed by this machine, although the machine will not do the student's studying for him fhaving attended the Air Force academy, the machine is scrupulously honestj, it is easily capable of absorbing an endless amount of facts much more quickly than any student might. Furthermore, the machine will gleefully fail any student who absorbs an insufficient amount of facts, as it grades all our examinations.

Therefore, the machine is creating new jobs for those it replaces and opening new areas for man's exploration. Keeping pace with this exploration, Miami-Dade has the most complete junior college computer laboratory in the nation. Here, many students are learning to prepare the machines for quick, efficient computation, while preparing themselves for the highly mechanized world that awaits us. Incorporating the diversified talents of many students and the limitless potential of a varied array of machines, our computer laboratory is making cybernetics, the science of tomorrow, 3525 N r' Q J will , i y the curriculum of today.
