To cut Optimist expense
Lineprinter arrives
A $3500 lineprinter that prints
hard copy from video display
terminals is being used by
students in news writing feature
writing and editing classes in
conjunction with their lab work
for the Optimist.
The lineprinter made by Texas
Instruments was installed two
weeks ago.
Dr. Charles Marler professor
of communication said the
lineprinter is now used instead of
the photo-typesetter to make
copies of stories for grading.
Using the new piece of
equipment for grading purposes
will save the Optimist the ex-
pense of typesetting every story
before final reproduction copy is
needed. This will help cut back on
operating costs. The lineprinter
was purchased primarily with
funds from the Optimist
The lineprinter also can be
used as a backup to the
typesetting system by providing
hard copy in case the system
breaks downj
Speed is another asset of the
lineprinter. It js much faster than
the typesetter. It prints
characters bi-directionally not
only from left to right but also
from right to left.
The maximum speed of the
machine is about 150 characters
per second and itis now printing
at about 120 characters per
second now Marle said.

New computer will save energy
The new micro computer in-
stalled in the Foster Science
Building last month will conserve
$10000 a year in electrical costs if
electricity rates don't go up said
Neil Fry director of planning.
The computer's designer
former ACU teacher Dr. Don
Russell was on campus last week
along with members of the
American Electrical Institute of
Research at Texas A&M to
evaluate its efficiency.
Neil Fry director of planning
said the computer has been very
successful considering that
currently it regulates only the air
handling units for the building.
However Fry said the school
hopes to use the computer to'
regulate other functions such as
temperature control and lighting.
The computer is being used to
explore the potential means of
energy conservation. It was
expected to cut approximately
$8500 from an annual electric bill
that ran to $50000-$60000 for the
science building alone.
ACU has applied for a mat-
ching government grant to install
a similar computer in the
Campus Center.
' Fry said the school's goatish

almost $1 million a year and the
use of computers is part of the
conservation plan.
