a -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 25, 1985 -- 17 Students solve paper problem What happens when a group of high school computer students are given access to some pretty sophisticated hardware owned by the provincal Ministry of Revenue? An administrative pro- blem for the Central Seven Association in Scugog Township is solved. Last week, the group of students from Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa presented the Central Seven Board of Directors with a computerized cross reference system of membership lists, volunteer supporters and financial contributors. The reference system will greatly assist the organization in targeting its mailings to members and volunteers and will eliminate the need for duplicating changes in addresses on several dif- ferent lists. The seven students, under the direction of teachers John Dinning and Eric Robbins, and with inout from Jeff Cookson, business eu .« .- tion consultant with the Durham Board, started the project about six months ago. What they had to work with was a cardboard box filled with cards listing the names, ad- dresses and contribu- tions from people in Scugog, Brock and Ux- bridge Townships who supported the Central Seven Flowers of Hope Campaign. The students sorted out all the information on the more than 500 cards and put it on computer file for quick and easy reference. The program was made available through co-operation with the Ministry of Revenue in Oshawa and the Durham Board. The students gained valuable ex- perience working with sophisticated computers which would not or- dinarily have been available to them. The Students Work Assignment Program, or SWAP for short was a pilot project developed by Ministry of Revenue staff at the request of the Durham Board. And it worked so well, that Barb McCormick of the Ministry's com- munications service says other student projects will be developed in the coming school year. Community organiza- tions, like Central Seven wind up with a service they would not otherwise have been able to receive.
