Student CMS, OSBATCH, CP PER

A while ago I had the "opportunity" to use a variant of CMS at U of
  Waterloo called "student CMS". Without meaning to offend or anything,
  I got the impression that it was a real crock.
Student CMS seems highly restricted, you can't do tape i/o, some
  query commands don't work, you can't use QED,...
I'd like to know who is forced to use student CMS, does the whole
  student population have to use it? are the programming staff
  the only guys who get "normal" CMS???
I'd also like to hear opinions of other people who have used student CMS
  did I miss somehthing vital, making my evaluation way out of line?

On a different track, I noticed while I was up a Waterloo that there
  was an OSBATCH virtual machine connected--I was under the impression
  that Waterloo terminated OS batch service last April--what gives?

I am not trying to attack Waterloo, they have done more than anyone in
  getting CMS to be a really livable system--I am just curious about
  the motivations behind student CMS.

Also, Does anyone know whether the CP PER command is a Waterloo mod to
  CP?
