University Daily Kansan, January 16, 1985 CAMPUS AND AREA Page 12 Committee to discuss options for computer By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter Two new proposals for the $2.5 million plan to upgrade KU's computer system will be discussed by a committee of administrators. Dick Mann, director of institutional research and personnel services, and Jerry Niebaum, director of computing services, will head the group. In November, KU officials proposed a plan to convert part of the academic computing system to a new Business Machines Corp. computer Some faculty and staff members have criticized the proposal as a conflict of interest on the part of three administrators. Mann; his wife, Linda, manager of technical services; and Rich Bireta, deputy director of information systems, all worked previously for IBM. Mann and Bireta still own stock in the company. BUT MANN SAID yesterday that the accusations were "nonsense." He said the University of Kansas probated IBM than before he took the position. Others have questioned the practicality of converting the academic programs to a new IBM system and the difficulty of getting locked into an IBM system. The University now operates on four computer systems, two IBMs for the administration and two Honeywell systems for academic use. Under the proposal introduced last year the administration and academic budget are the use and cost of an IBM or IBM-compatible system, Mann said. The two options to be discussed tomorrow are from Honeywell, Manns & Co. Mann said he would introduce a third proposal — a multiple system composed of more than one computer brand — to allow more flexibility in buying additional equipment from different companies.
