NEW INSTALLATIONS 
Several additional time-shared installations, all of which have teletype 
facilities for standard telephone transmission of programs and information, 
have provided the following information: 
University of Minnesota, St. Paul. Area Code 612; 647-3739 (Ke Chung Kim). 
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. A. C. 313; 763-3066 (A. Kluge). 
AVAILABLE PROGRAMS-- BASIC 
9. CHI-2--Calculates chi-square using Yate’s correction for 2x2 tables [Wayne 
Moss, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia]. 
10. RUTH-4--Calculates a diversity index (p^ log p^) for two samples as well as 
their mean diversity [Wayne Moss, Academy of Natural Sciences, 
Philadelphia]. 
ACTIVITIES INVOLVING TIME-SHARE COMPUTING 
Ke Chung Kim, Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, 
Minnesota, 55101, is planning work on a computer program for identification of 
the species of Sphaerocerinae, as well as on a catalogue of the sucking lice. 
Arnold Kluge, Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 
has been using the teletype connection in the Museum both for research and for 
teaching. The Michigan computer does not use BASIC, but takes MAD or Fortran IV. 
His research involves testing and prediction of phylogenies using weighted 
characters, among other things, and the teaching is part of a course in evolution, 
where the computer is used for simulation of evolutionary situations, with each 
student working out individual problems. 
James Ewin, Room 2C-528, Bell Telephone Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey, 
07733, has used time-share for computer simulation of biological evolution, and 
recently gave a seminar and discussion of his work with members of the staff at the 
Smithsonian Institution. Copies of his program, called "ECSYM2" can be made avail¬ 
able if anyone is interested. 
FUNDING OF ACTIVITIES 
The National Science Foundation has issued a leaflet entitled "Grants for 
Computing Activities," the number of which is NSF 68-4. It can be obtained from 
the Office of Computing Activities (Milton E. Rose), National Science Foundation, 
Washington, D. C. 20550.
