i The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Tuesday, February 25, 1958 PAGE 5 1 Conference Jumbled As Hungry Ags Topple High-Ranked Porkers, 66-57 “Pardon My Elbow!” Harry Thompson, Razorback forward, gives Aggie soph Wayne Lawrence the point of his elbow, while the bucket gets filled with two more “points.” Free throws won it for the Cadets, 66-57. Cadets Journey To Lubbock To Test Raiders Tonight By GARY ROLLINS What appeared to be a raging, ripping Razorback in the hills of Arkansas turned out to be a docile Durock sow last Saturday night as the unsung Texas Aggies butchered the pitiless Porkers, in White Coliseum, 66-57. And so, the lead that once belonged to the bristled ones from the Ozarks has finally dwindled into infinity, leaving not one—but three—teams perched on top of the throne that is called the Southwest Conference. Once again, a race that should have been “cut and dried” has turned into the traditional turmoil it always assumes near the end of the season. The Aggies were paced by the scoring of Neil Swisher, who laced the cords with 21 ♦ points. He was followed close ly by Archie Carroll, who biicketed 20. The high scorer for the Porkers was Freddie Grim, with 13 points. Tonight, the potent Farmers roam to Lubbock to test the actual strength of the lied Raiders. Last Saturday, the Tech five found rough sledding in Dallas, where the rude SMU Ponies continued their home-court winning streak by downing the Raiders, 66-56. The SWC race now finds teams “coming and going” from the top slot. The Rice Owls, who were once respected as a ball club wei - e thoroughly man-handled by the lanky TCU Horned Frogs as the Froggies blasted the Owls 90-65 in the Houston team’s gym. Don Suman’s wise birds now find their conference chances meager indeed, with only three games remaining. Baylor, a team that was hiding in the woods near Waco at the be ginning of the season, has suddenly come.-fpora.-Uie bushes to loom as a great threat to other conference opponents. After dropping nine straight, the Bears have suddenly hung the burden of defeat on three teams in succession; Rice, Texas Christian and Texas. Only two games remain on their slate, with Arkansas in Fayetteville and against SMU on the home coui't at Waco. Southern Methodist is now among the favored few, as they are within range of the conference loot. By virtue of their win over Tech in Dallas, the Ponies have but two remaining conquests to make—against the Aggies and Baylor—which could spell defeat in either case.

Main, Bryan “PRESCRIPTION SERVICE YOU WILL LIKE” Product Development Engineer Gerald A. Maley, like many other engineers, mathematicians and physicists, came to IBM directly from college. Here he tells how he put his E.E. degree to work in the exciting new field of computer development. What's it like to be with IBM ’‘What really sold me,” says Gerald Maley, “was the way they approach engineering at IBM. I had expected rooms full of engineers at desks. Instead, I found all the friendly informality of my college lab.” An E.E., he came directly to IBM from the University of Buffalo in 1953. Starting as a Technical Engineer, he was immediately assigned to work, with two others, on designing a small calculator. Jerry Maley learned a great deal about computers in a very short time. Inci dentally, this small calculator has gone into production. “It makes an engineer feel good,” he says, “to see his project reach the production stage—and to be able to follow it through.” Promoted to Associate Engineer after sixteen months, he became the leader of a nine-man team, assigning problems to his group for solution, approving their block diagrams and the models they built. A short while ago, he was again promoted — this time to r Project Engineer. “A particularly interesting aspect of my present job,” Jerry Maley says, “is the further devel opment of magnetic cores — new memory storage devices for elec tronic digital compu ters.” His administra tive details have been reduced to a minimum, freeing him for creative Assigning problem »o group member engineering work. Perhaps an hour a day goes into paper work such as requisitioning equipment for his group and reviewing technical publications, in counseling members of his team, and preparing for trips to technical society meetings. Why he chose IBM Of course, there were many reasons why Jerry Maley selected IBM. He was vitally interested in computers, and IBM is a leader in computer technology. He comes from a scientific family (his brother is a mathematician), and is fascinated by these IBM mathematical marvels which are revolutionizing ways of doing things in so many fields. He enjoys working on large equipment... and on “pulses.” “It’s more logical,” he says. “In com puter work, you can actually see electronics at work. And it’s not all solid math, either. What’s more, this field is so new, you’re contributing along with every body else in a short time.” He endorses the IBM policy of promoting from within, with merit the sole criterion. The salary factor, although it was excellent, was not Ms first employ ment consideration, he recalls. The tremen dous advancement po tential was of greater importance. Testing a new development What about promotions? When asked about advancement opportunities at IBM, he says, “You can hardly miss in this field and in this company. IBM sales have doubled, on the average, every five years. Company expansion at this rate— in a dynamic industry— Bill jy* Reviewing technical publications makes my future look bright indeed.” Since Jerry Maley came with IBM in 1953, career opportunities at IBM are brighter than ever, as all busi ness, industry, science and government turn increasingly to auto mation through elec tronic computers. This profile is just one example of what it’s like to be with IBM. There are many other excellent opportuni ties for well-qualified college men in Research, Devel opment, Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.
