Stats lab
may be
replaced
By CHERYL BAACKE
The University's Statistical Research Laboratory
(SRL) may be closed down and replaced by a
much larger statistics center, if the recommen-
dations of a review committee are adopted.
The committee, which completed its report in
May, suggested that the University close the
current laboratory, replace it with a statistical con-
sulting center and shift its computer respon-
sibilities to the University Computing Center.
BY SHIFTING the computer work to the Com-
puting Center, the committee said it wants the lab
to return to its primary mission of research and
consulting.
If the executive officers agree to the proposal, it
will cost the University an extra $105,000 accor-
ding to the panel's estimates.
The laboratory as it exists now, provides
statistical consulting to students and faculty, as
well as developing computer programs for
researchers.
But the panel noted that many units in the Univ-
