Local college cafeteria

A request by a local catering
business for permission to use
the kitchen. facilities at North-
west Community College has
been declined by the board of
directors following a motion by
board director Al Brockley at
the board’s July 15 meeting.

. Following a discussion on the ©

however, Brockley’s

whole question of private use is.

the college is responsible for
their maintenance, Board ‘chair- .
man Hans Wagner agreed with
Harris, saying it is the board’s
responsibility to insure that col-
lege assests are not abused and
the process of instruction is not
interrupted. He added though,
“It’s a fairly large subject and
this is only the tip of the iceberg.

We might be missing the boat.”

Presentation Graphics

One trend that has accompanied the proliferation of computers
has been the ever-increasing use of graphics in computer pro--
grams. There is now a rich variety of graphics based programs.
Among them are: Computer Assisted Drafting ‘programs, -
‘Desktop Publishing’ programs, ‘Paintbrush’ drawing programs, —
Animation and video production programs... and the list goes
on, .

Today [ll look at an old standby —_ Presentation Graphics. By a
this I: mean items such as bar charts, pie charts, 4jne graphs,
trend curves and so on. Since these graphics are most commonly. -
used in presentation of business data, they have also been called ©

Business Graphics’. Presentation graphics have probably been |
produced by computer programs longer than any other kind of
graphic,

So who needs presentation graphics? First we’ll look at what

presentation graphics can do for the user. Numbers by themselves - ;

are meaningless. If told you that my sales last week were
$15,000 you wouldn’t know whether to congratulate me or to
start bankruptcy proceedings, However, an appropriate graph or :
gtaphs can quickly put numbers into perspective.

What is a good presentation graphic? First, it should follow
the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Most importantly it .
should be appropriate to the data. For example, do not use a pie
chart to.represent, time series data (sales by month) nor should

yOu use something like a ite rapt to Tepresent non-related data —
(sales by department). _ i

The next question(is,: what grapk ies s software should one use? -
Almost all current spreadsheet, andiintegrated programs include a
presentation graphics component this i is true of such weil-known |
programs such as Lotus 123; Microsoft Excel and Microsoft
Works, PFS First Choice, Supercalc 5, VP Planner and so on.
For most purposes the graphing capabilities of any of these type
of programs are more than satisfactory for graphing needs of the
vast majority of small and medium sized organizations.

Those who really need more sophisticated graphics can invest
in a specialty program that has a greater set of features and op-
tions. Two well-known ones for IBM-PC compatible users are’
Chartmaster and Harvard Graphics. Typically such specialty pro-
grams will allow the user to graph data from the more common
spreadsheet formats 50 one does not have to re-key data. .
However, only consider looking at one of these packages once ~
you've exhausted all the capabilities of the graphics that come
with your spreadsheet or integrated packages.

Once you learn how to use graphs effectively you. should be
able to save yourself the trouble of looking at pages of numbers.
As one pundit once said, ‘If a picture is worth a thousand words, .
an appropriate. graph is at least worth ten thousand numbers.’

That’s admittedly , an exaggeration, but in some cases not much
of one. :;
