Mr. Colby:

lectures on computers yesterday. He estimated that between 90 - 130 attended.
(He later called to say that OCS's estimate was 150 in the morning, 100 in the
afternoon.) I asked what he thought of it. He replied that it was "reasonably
good" in the morning when the man lectured. It was light, nontechnical, "reason-
ably easy to stay awake, " fast moving, simple basic remarks on what computers
and programs are. It was for rank beginners, just as it was supposed to be. In
the afternoon, it was a question-and-answer session. The questions were basic
and nontechnical but good, but he answered them quite poorly. He did not seem
to have the ability to answer a question ant n' it clear to the nontechnical mind.
He would rate it B+ for the morning, C or C+ for the afternoon.
