I knew that system!  I was a freshman in the fall of 1969 at UT; I had a
work-study job with the School of Education's CAI Lab, working with an IBM 1800
in the basement of Sutton Hall and the administration's System/360 Model 50 in
the basement of the Tower.

When interviewing for a work-study job, I got sent over to the computer center
and got my first look at the 6600.  The next year, I took a COMPASS class, but
they were running SCOPE by that time.
