Center modifies programs
By ANTHONY HARRIS
< the UP staff__
Lamar’s Computer Center has com-
pleted and modified over 700 programs
that will prove to be beneficial to the
university during the subsequent
semesters, Harry P. Noble, associate
director of the computer center, said.
“These projects are modifications or
revisions to existing programs and also in-
clude changes in procedures and documen-
tation,” Dr. William C. Nylin, director of
the computer center, said.
Among the new systems or programs
that have been completed are three new
programs that have been added to the on-
line registration system.
“Two of these programs produce labels
and a list of students who pre-register,”
Nylin said. “The other system allows the
admission administration to discard the
names of these students from class roles if
their fees are not paid by the designated
time, and, at the same time, informs
department heads of the vacancies that
might be available in their departments.”
Also, four new programs have been put
into production for the personnel office.
These include systems that allow ad-
ministrators to monitor employees in each
division, Nylin said.
“(Lamar) President (C. Robert) Kem-
ble may also monitor university
employees,” he said.
“This system also provides information
about the employment level of the faculty
to insure that Lamar does not increase
faculty and staff beyond the quota assign-
ed by the state.”
Noble said several programs have been
written for the payroll office, and that one
of them lists the names of persons
employed by Lamar for a short time.
“Federal law requires that their names
and salaries be reported to the federal
government for income tax purposes,”he
said.
Another program records whatever an
employee states on his or her W-4 form.
New programs have been developed and
put into production for the finance office.
One program allows for the printing of 1099
forms which report to the federal govern-
ment the amount of money consultants
receive, Nylin said.
The second program creates a cash tran-
saction tape for state auditors in Austin.
Three tapes of written programs are sent
to Austin to allow auditors to check the
data of financial transactions at Lamar, he
said.
The Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant reporting system is a procedure of
original document that maintains the
students’ BEOG file, Nylin said, that has
been modified.
“It checks the rosters of students’
courses because they may be eligible for
more money if they, for instance," have a
full course load. A system like this helps
get the student’s check issued during
registration,” he said.
A new program has also been added to
the student reporting process that pro-
duces the “Student Enrollment
Checklist.” This list includes students’
names, ages, campuses attended, high
schools attended and ethnic backgrounds,
Nylin said.
Noble said the new sub-system to the
teacher certification system has been
completed and put into production. This
program provides a list of students who
are in the program for the College of
Education.
It gives the College of Education a
means for monitoring the status of
students in the teacher certification pro-
gram. In addition, the program is used to
help students get jobs because it records
the students’ qualifications of certain
techniques, he said.
Freshmen orientation rosters have been
completed and are now in production.
These rosters contain the background in-
formation and interests of the par-
ticipants.
“This roster should help both the par-
ticipants and counselors during orienta-
tions. The department heads should also
know what to expect when the participants
arrive here,” Noble said.
“These computer programs give ad-
ministrators the ability to provide infor-
mation they couldn’t otherwise provide
because it would have required too much
manual labor,” Noble said. “Also, these
programs generate reports that offices
could not.”
Flu shots
available
Vaccines for influenza
and pneumonia are
available to Lamar
students, faculty and
staff at the Health
Center, Dr. Lamar Bevil,
university physician and
health center director,
said Thursday.
“Young healthy people
are not recommended to
take the vaccines, but
anyone with chronic il-
lness, diabetes or asthma
should,” he said.
He said that anyone 60
years of age or older
should have both vac-
cines.
Those who are eligible
for the vaccines should
take the influenza every
year for it to be effective
and the pneumonia every
five years, he said.
The vaccines will be
given Mondays through
Fridays from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m.
