Explosion Hits
Borland Lab;
Cause Unknown
An explosion of undetermined,
origin rocked the Dairy Science!
Building yesterday morning caus-i
ing extensive damage to appara-[
tus and equipment, but no serious
injuries to personnel.
, The explosion which occurred
,at about 11:20 a.m. was felt
throughout the building. Two
[windows were broken and the
[door was damaged by flying de
; bris. A large window on the hood
[was also smashed. Damage was
[estimated at $lOOO.
There were three people in the
room at the time of the blast,
but onlv one received any in
juries. Robert McCarthy, research
, assistant in dairy science, received
minor scratches on his forehead.
Apparently a reagent that was
on a shelf and not in use, blew
up without warning. In describ
ing the blast, McCarthy said it
happened so fast that it was over 1
before anybody had realized what
had occurred. j

HE HAS ONE OF THE MOST
UNUSUAL JOBS IN BUSINESS TODAY
He’s a computer programmer.
It s a job that didn’t even exist until a few years ago. But today it’s one
of the most important-and certainly most unusual—jobs that a college
graduate can do. Data processing systems, with their advanced technol
ogies and tremendous speeds, offer new challenges to college graduates.
It is a field for new ideas, new methods, and new techniques.
Setting Up The Problem
A computer programmer analyzes a business, industrial, or scientific
problem, and translates it into a language which the computer can
understand. From there the computer goes to work with prodigious
speed and accuracy. Often it can solve problems in minutes, which
might take days or even weeks, if done by other methods.
The assignments are interesting. IBM programmers have programmed
computers to tell businessmen the best locations for new factories; help
engineers design electronic circuitry; aid manufacturers in finding tha
most profitable potential market for new products; work out payroll
or quality-control problems at the push of a few buttons; and even
analyze how other computer programs should be developed.
Your Logical Abilities Co To Work
No previous experience, or even knowledge of the way computers work,
is necessary to begin a career as a computer programmer. But you
should have the talent and ability to analyze complex problems, to think
clearly and to express yourself well. These, plus a college degree with
two years of college mathematics, are important prerequisites.
If you qualify as a computer programmer, you will be given an inten
sive training course in the problem-solving methods of the computer.
The salaries are excellent, and your future could be as unlimited as tha
future of the computer itself. If you think you might be interested in
becoming a computer programmer, you can obtain more details from
the IBM representative who can be contacted through your Collega
Placement Director.
