... Because student batch jobs used Waterloo's student interpreters ... WIDJET--Waterloo Interactive Debug & Job Entry Terminal.
It used a Series/1 to submit jobs (mostly COBOL -- but some FORTRAN) to a VM box running an OS1 Job Service. I used it for 2 of my 4 years at UOW. In 2nd year, we had heard that the Computer Centre Director was having a tour of people from Houston area, to try and sell the product. In our maturity (or lack thereof), we got a bunch of T-Shirts printed up that said: “WIDJET Sucks!”, and ensured we were all wearing them the day of the tour. He was waaayyy less than impressed. Unfortunately, I was also a student of his at the time. Showing up to class was no longer an option -- I tried it once. I did pass the course, though.
