Or should there be a moratorium on putting new state programs on the computer and maybe even take some programs off? As a third alternative, should one state programs be put on other computers like one at the Department of Employment Security or computers in other parts of the country? These questions face the State Board of Examiners, consisting of Gov. Calvin L. Hampton, Lt. Gov. Clyde L. Miller and Atty. Gen. Vernon B. Romney. A few weeks ago, the Systems Planning and Computing Board voted 3 to lease an TBM 158 computer at $65,000 per month ter 12 months to increase the capacity of state computer programs. During that period the board will study the states computing needs for the next several years. Equipment to handle the increased load would then be purchased in competitive bidding. Rampton is concerned that once the IBM computer is leased the state will be locked in to purchas more IBM equipment. Stressing the need for greater computer capacity, many state agencies wrant computer programs, although this doesnt necessarily mean they should be involved. Roy Curtin, director. State Systems Planning and Computing Center, said he believes that by January the computer will exceed its capacity just from the Jennings Phillips Jr. present programs.
