Of course, there may be a small involved in amount of Mr. Drage's comment about Snow Colleges new computer program, lie helped design it as a member of an advisory committee that included representatives from Utahs largest computer employers. Max Aycoclc, Snows director of vocational education, says that the r college moved into a because computer training program "As an educational institution in a section of the state that sees most of its young people leave for employment, we recognize that one of our main tasks must be preparing our students for the work opportunities that exist in the modern world. self-intere- st two-yea- The next step was developing a program that would meet industrys needs for computer processors. That involved establishment, of an advisory committee. In addition to Mr. Drage, it includes Robert R. Black of KET Services: Thad Nelson of Sperry and Lou E. Martineau of Hercules. Aycock adds, the computer has become an indispensable tool. In order to fulfill its training task, Mr. Aycock adds, Snow has been expanding its vocational offerings as rapidly as possible. "We were fortunate in acquiring the Entwistle Complex on the west side of town, he says. Those buildings have given us the room to develop our Career Center. r The result: a program that leads to an associate in applied sciences degree. To obtain that degree the student must complete 72 credit hours in core computer classes like computer operations, systems analysis and design and language operating systems. The student is also required to complete courses in English, college algebra, accounting and business management. Another step in establishing a program requires money for the purchase of equipment and other items. The money was raised: a $10,000 contribution by the Eccles Foundation, $14,950 from the Intermountain Power Service Corp., $20,000 in Title III money, $15,000 in federal vocational funds, and two-yea- The newest occupant of the Career Center on what the school calls its West Campus is the new two-yeComputer Program.

A fourth step was recruiting teachers who had a practical background in industry as well as the required university training. Two instructors were employed: Tom Jensen and Jim Prado.

He has also had 10 years experience in Europe and the United States as a programmer.

He also has several years experience in industry. Snows computer training now has 32 Sperry personal computers for student use in beginning courses, and a No. 4331 IBM main frame computer with 10 terminals. Why IBM?

The program enrolled 55 students at the start of the school year. It is restricted to 40 new students each year. But it's already slated for expansion, according to Mr. Aycock more equipment, more teachers and more places for students. "In the past Hercules has hired only four-yea- r programmers," Mr. Aycock says, "and Boyd was in competition with people who had bachelor degrees. We think that speaks well for the quality of our program. Mr. Prado has a in Now Ini Police Academy The Natural The Empire Strikes Back r Snows program will soon have its first graduate.
