OFFICE OF COMPUTING SERVICES, URBANA (10) The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended the establishment of an Office of Computing Services in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. T h e service computing facilities on the Urbana-Champaign campus are currently administered by the Department of Computer Science. This arrangement is a rare one; such services usually report to an administrator whose scope is wider. The situation is a natural outgrowth of the origin of computing services at Illinois which were provided in the early fifties on the research machines developed and built in the Digital Computer Laboratory. These projects began almost a decade before computers were extensively introduced and exploited in other universities. T h e decade of the sixties saw two parallel developments in the Digital Computer Laboratory. On the one hand, as the service computing load grew, it was shifted to large commercial equipment and it became an essentially professional operation whose aim has become to deliver a service to the campus-wide community. On the other hand, the research and teaching aspects of the Laboratory followed the nationwide evolution of the discipline of computer science which has resulted in the current Department of Computer Science. The question of separating the academic Department of Computer Science from the campus-wide provision of professional computer service has been raised from time to time over the past several years. All administrative officers directly concerned have discussed the matter extensively and have agreed that concrete steps to effect separation should be taken as soon as possible. Specifically, the service portion of the Department of Computer Science would be administered by an Office of Computing Services in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. A Director of Computing Services would head this new office.
