Speedy Mechanical 'Brain Will Soon Solve Problems
The statisticians dream, IBM 650, a high speed computer, is coming to the campus.
The University has purchased the computer for research work and as an aid in teaching mathematics, engineering and business courses, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the Chancellor's office, has announced. The machine can compute intricate figures and give tabulated results in a short time. It is used in industry for billing and for preparing complicated payrolls.
The computer will fill an entire room 8C Strong Hall, when it arrives from Endicott, N.Y., March 29.
When the School of Business has its own building, the machine will be stored there. It is planned to have many small rooms in the building to gather and verify or program information that will be computed in the IBM 650.

Athletic Funds Eyed

ually as a multi-purpose building. The past two years plans have been made to hold Commencement exercises in the building in case of rain.
Karl Kloo, KU bursar said today that he did not understand Docking's statement that the stadium was to have been deeded to the state after bonds which financed it were paid off.
"My understanding of the situation is that the University of Kansas Physical Education Corporation which has control over the property had its charter extended some years ago to run until 1975." Klooz said.
Max Milbourn, assistant to the president of Kansas State College, said this morning that Ahearn Field House was financed and built in much the same manner as KU's field house.
Mr. Milbourn said the field house proper and a connecting building are also used for intramural athletics and house some classrooms. He said the K-State field house has been used frequently as a site for livestock shows and the Little American Royal Show, for several student activities, and for commencement exercises. ROTC units have regularly scheduled days where they may drill before and after the basketball season, Mr. Milbourn said.
Gov. Docking said the idea investigate the possibility of looking into the KU athletic program arose after he saw a report that KU had made a profit during the football season last fall. He said it might be a good idea to find out where the money is going.
