Department adopts problem computer To meet the growing at- tendance problem, the staff adopted the use of a new computer. The Attendance Depar- tment leased a TRS-80 from Radio Shack. This machine was to be used to help keep better track of students' ab- sences and cuts. At the beginning of the year, the staff had trouble with the operation of the machine which forced the attendance staff to send the roll sheets to be processed at a computer firm in the Bay Area. New attendance procedures were put to use on February 8. Students were required to have a marked excused or unex- cused admit after returning from an absence to be per- mitted to class. All absences still had to be cleared within three days. Students were to be strictly penalized for all unexcused absences. A . . ,.,5,.,..,.,.-Q-tsnnlulsef 'P' 1.
