Central African Aggie Tops Electronics Class A 20-year-old Central African student at Texas A&M University is leading his class in a course of study he never intended to take. Chimbwana Madise of Malawi came to A&M this fall to study electrical engineering, but his scholastic credentials arrived too late for him to enroll in the uni versity’s Tegular curriculum. At the suggestion of school officials, he took an entrance examination for A&M’s Institute of Electronic Science and he currently tops his 26-man class. “Bill, as the students call him, is an excellent student,” notes L. K. Jonas, the institute’s chief instructor. He is the first for eigner to participate in the three- year-old institute and his success is inspiring a program to involve more international students. MADISE STILL has his sights set on a career in telecommuni cations, howevet, and has been assured admission into A&M’s electrical engineering department this spring. “I will direct aircraft naviga- TOP ELECTRONICS STUDENT Chimbwana Madise of Malawi, Africa, currently tops his 26-man class at Texas A&M’s Institute of Electronic Sci ence. “Bill”, as his classmates call him, says Chimbwana means friend. He’s the first foreign student in the 3-year history of the institute. Russ Naval Power Rated Second Now By THOMAS A. REEDY LONDON <A>) __ The Soviet Union has moved up behind the United States as the world’s sec ond naval power and is pressing Japan for merchant marine lead ership. These conclusions are reached by Jane’s Fighting Ships, the accepted authority on maritime affairs, in its report for 1966-67. Facts collected by the 69-year- old organization show that while the Soviet Union has no aircraft carriers, it outstrips the United States in conventional submarines. The U.S.S.R. lags in nuclear- powered submarines, however. AMERICAN NAVAL power is there for all to see because of the war in Vietnam, said Jane’s, while the Soviet Union is “bla tantly flaunting its numerical and intrinsic fleet strength.” “Wherever there is navigable water, the Soviet navy has war ships or paramilitary ships,” said Jane’s. A 20-year-program by the So viet Union now has culminated in “matching submarines, cruis ers, destroyers, escorts, sup port ships, minesweepers, guid ed missile patrols boats, oilers, store carries and electronic sur veillance scouts, usually fishing trawlers, with anything that the other major naval powers can produce.” JANE’S ESTIMATED Soviet Both the Americans and the Soviet Union are making prodi gious efforts in the nuclear sub marine Held. The United States has 70 completed, or about to be commissioned, with a target of 103 by 1971. The U.S.S.R. is re ported to have 30 submarines building, both nuclear and con ventional. la-de-da snooty affairs our specialty! Ladies love meeting at Ramada Inp!

RAMADA INH Bryan - College Station 846-8811 THE AMERICAN plan for more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers envisages a “force of first-line aircraft carriers right up to the end of the century,” Jane’s reported. It said the United States plans a striking force of 15 gaint carriers capable of carrying on almost indefinitely. Britain’s third-ranking fleet listed three large aircraft car riers, two lightweight carriers and two escort carriers to deal with helicopter and other small aircraft, three nuclear subma rines, 42 conventionally powered submarines, five cruisers, six fri gates, 16 destroyers, 65 destroyer escort, 82 minesweepers, 17 patrol craft, 14 landing ships and craft and almost 300 auxiliaries. strength at 40 nuclear-powered submarines, 340 conventional sub marines, 20 cruisers, 110 destroy ers, 100 escorts, 300 coastal es corts, 300 minesweepers, 100 missile patrol boats, 350 motor torpedo boats, and 200 landing craft. Auxilaries and other surface craft, often disguised as part of the merchant fleet, run into the thousands. The United States is aiming for an entirely nuclear-powered fleet by the 1970s, and meantime has a force of 3,400 units. THESE INCLUDE four battle ships in commission, 60 carriers or types that can • be so used, 207 submarines, 38 heavy and light cruisers, 670 destroyers or es corts, 220 mine-laying and mine sweeping vessels plus hundreds of service boats that include high- speed “mosquitoes” now in use off the shore of Vietnam. tion at a Malawi airport when I complete four years’ work here,” Madise remarked. His studies at A&M are sponsored by the Agency for International De velopment (AID). The personable African studied English in Washington for a month before coming to A&M. He had previously taken 14 years of school but found the American accent and vocabulary a little different. MADISE IS fast becoming Americaniszed. “That boy was shy when he came,” recalls in structor James McCollum, “but he has adjusted quickly. He can take kidding and dish it out with the best of them.” McCollum said the slender youngster wtih a big smile knew nothing about slide-rule solutions to electronic problems when he started the course. “Now he’s a whiz. He’s taking advanced electronic theory, draft ing, electronics math, industrial relations, technical report writing and advanced shop,” McCollum added. “I wish I had 50 students like him.” “Bill” likes the heavy class schedule and dormitory life dur ing the week, but he yearns for more weekend activity. “That’s when I am most homesick,” he said. A TRIP to Los Angeles will leave Madise little time to be homesick during the Christmas holidays. With other AID stu dents, he will participate in a mid-winter seminar which in cludes visits to a city council, Disneyland, movie studios and the beach. The son of a Zambia airport fireman, Madise says his favorite American dish is pie. “Just pie of any kind,” he grinned. “We have no pie in Malawi. Spaghetti and hamburgers are on my left— no good,” he quipped. Blue jeans are a favorite with Madise, who has seen cowboys only at the King Ranch during a Thanksgiving visit to Corpus Christi. “There’s one thing I would like to see, yet am afraid to see,” he confided. “It’s snow. I’ve never seen it. It’s so sold. I nearly froze to death last weekend.” NDEA Institute To Be Held Here Starting In July An NDEA Summer Institute for Industrial Arts Teachers will be held at Texas A&M University July 3 to Aug. 31, announced Dr. Chris H. Groneman, Industrial Eduction Department head. Supported by a $45,622 grant under Title XI of the National Defense Education Act, the insti tute will provide six weeks inten sive instruction for 25 teachers, supervisors and teacher educators from over the nation. “The institute is one of 29 throughout the 50 states, and the only one in the Southwest,” noted Dr. Groneman. Dr. Clint A. Bertrand directs the institute on new scientific engineering influneces on indus trial arts education. Dr. James Boone is associate director. Dr. Leslie Hawkins will coordinate instruction of a staff including Donald R. Drew of civil engineer ing, James M. Nash, industrial engineering; Dr. John D. Randall, Nuclear Science Center director, oceanography faculty member and constultants. Theoretical instruction, lab ac tivity and field trips will be inter disciplinary, indicated Dr. Ber trand, covering data processing, nuclear and laser technology, oceanography and industrial ma terials and processes. Weekly field triips to Gulf Coast and Dallas-Forth Worth areas are scheduled. “The institute will provide technical instruction for indus trial arts teachers to keep their programs up to date with advanc ing technology,” the director said from Loupot's Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, December 14,19SS Interviewing Companies’ Complaint Regards Many Jobs, Few Students FLOOD OF MAIL BEGINS A Chicago post office employe watches as a flood of mail comes down a conveyor belt to a bin as the flow of Christ mas mail begins with a peak expected Dec. 16-19. The Chicago post office handles an average of 21 million pieces of mail of all kinds daily. (AP Wirephoto) Three-hundred-eleven compan ies have interviewed Texas A&M students for career employment opportunities with the only com plaint being that there are not enough people to interview. Mrs. Gladys Bishop, Placement Office secretary, attributed this largely to the fact that many peo ple are planning to fulfill their military obligation immediately upon graduation. She said that many firms will hire people for short periods of time, regardless of their military obligations. In urging these people to regis ter for interviews, Mrs. Bishop explained the advantage of meet ing interviewers in one’s particu lar field. Unless he plans to make needs the military a career, he to have contacts to fall HOtf illeyi back on when he becomes a civil, wfi 1 ian. Those people who have inter, viewed have apparently done well, Mrs. Bishop continued. Dr. W.D, Harris of the Chemical Engineer ing Department reported thai people with low grade point ra- tios, as well as others, have bett getting job offers. Salary offen are running about $25 a montli higher than last year. Interviews for this semester have been completed. They will resume in the spring semester on Feb. 13, and will be complete sometime near the middle of April. rvati 1 ke & an o v The 0, sfc ctim eht-r BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day it pe it per word r word each additional day Minimum charge—50* Classified Display 90c Per column inch each insertion DEADLINE 4 p.m. day before publication FOR SALE Leopard Cow Dogs for sale.
