The Community College of Denver provides educational facilities and faculty for greater development of skilled manpower to meet the demands of an expanding industrial and business environment. The computing facilities and hardware, administrative data processing, and educational computing are discussed. (MLW)

The entity-relationship (ER) approach to database design is defined, and a specific example of an ER model (personnel-payroll) is examined. The requirements for converting ER models into specific database management systems are discussed. (Author/MSE)

Discusses approach to integrating computer programing into a calculus-based physics survey college course which stresses three major uses of computers: data reduction, calculation, and simulation. An initial programing exercise and practical constraints--time a student can allot to course and student's level of confidence--are mentioned. (EJS)

This report describes and flowcharts the process of the paper work flow at a hypothetical automotive parts business from the disbursement of funds to the updating of the inventory records, in order to supply business students with a lesson in using the data processor. (CT)

INDEX, an interactive retrieval program developed at Pepperdine University, is described. It is easy to use and maintain, locates sources of information from a general description of the information needed, requires only a modest investment of time, and is widely applicable. (MLW)

Florida International University is one of nine public universities in a state university system that provides computer support by the SUS Computer Network. An administrative computer user's committee was established to aid in the determination of universitywide priorities. (MLW)

Describes relatively new computer software that can be used to maintain, analyze, and report large sets of educational data. The application of two of these packages to problems faced when manipulating educational data is demonstrated, and administrators are provided with information on the evaluation and selection of software products. (MER)

The use of computers as a control device for large numbers of students is described in its five phases of operation: registration, instruction, examination, termination, and evaluation. Flow charts are included. (RAO)

Described is The Source, a telecomputing network that gives the user access to thousands of programs and data bases, and the ability to communicate electronically with other users interactively and through electronic mail. It also provides access to the United Press International (UPI) wire service through the use of key words. (KC)

Discusses an effective simulated program that can be integrated into almost any business and office education class. Presents four goals to be achieved: (1) understanding computer operation, (2) introduction of computer languages, (3) input data, (4) retrieving data. (JOW)

The University System of Georgia Computer Network serves 33 colleges and universities throughout the state. It provides low cost computing services to meet research, education and instructional needs of students, faculty and administrators. Computers used and the general administrative structure are noted. (SF)

An automated food service accounting system allows management to concentrate on the problems at hand. (Author/MLF)

A network of regional computer processing sites will establish a path for small school districts to access the facilities at a larger computer site. Networking between sites greatly enhances a user's--and consequently his local district's--computing resources. (Author/MLF)

Discussion of student advising highlights the development of a personalized electronic advising system (EAS) to supplement the university calendar. Word processing programs that are used as the basis for the EAS are discussed, the inclusion of student records is described, and the ease with which information can be modified is emphasized. (LRW)

Describes the design and operation of four software packages, or macros, written in the programing language of Microsoft's EXCEL for use on the Macintosh computer for data manipulation and presentation used in educational research. Reordering tabulated data, reversing the scoring of tabulated data, and creating tables and graphs are explained.…
