The scores for all diving events held during the NCAA swim meet (in Hanover
on March 28-30) were tabulated on the DTSS computer. Freshmen Andrew
Behrens and Anthony Dwyer wrote the computer program,
and Thomas Morton sat at poolside entering the judge's scores
into a teletype terminal. "It is conceivable that swim meets will soon be able
to eliminate the eight or nine men needed to do the mathematical calculations
and work with two men and a computer teletype," commented Ronald L.
Keenhold, assistant swimming coach.

Project IMPRESS (Interdisciplinary Machine Processing for Research and
Education in the Social Sciences) began with a conference for "eminent social
scientists and Dartmouth faculty members." IMPRESS, sponsored under a grant
from the Carnegie Foundation, created "laboratory conditions in which the
social scientist (could) build endless hypotheses, and compare them as do his
colleagues in the physical sciences," according to Edmund D.
Meyers, assistant director of the project.
