Sign up for an interview at your placement office-even if you’re headed for graduate school or military service. Maybe you think you need a technical background to work for us. Not true. Sure we need engineers and scientists. But we also need liberal arts and business majors. We’d like to talk with you even if you’re in something as far afield as Music. Not that we’d hire you to analyze Bach fugues. But we might hire you to analyze problems as a computer programmer. What you can do at IBM The point is, our business isn’t just selling computers. It’s solving problems. So if you have a logical mind, we need you to help our customers solve problems in such diverse areas as government, business, law, education, medicine, science, the humanities. Whatever your major, you can do a lot of good things at IBM. Change the world (maybe). Continue your education (certainly, through plans such as our Tuition Refund Program). And have a wide choice of places to work (we have over 300 locations throughout the United States). What to do next We’ll be on campus to interview for careers in Marketing, Computer Applications, Programming, Research, Design and Development, Manufacturing, Field Engineering, and Finance and Administration. If you can’t make a campus interview, send an outline of your interests and educational background to Mr. C. E Cammack, IBM Corporation, 1447 Peachtree St., N.E., Room 810, Atlanta, Ga. jT jQJ jA/j? 30309. We’re an equal opportunity employer. The Aggies pulled the same trick with their win over Texas. The Maroon and White is now at 4-4 in a third place tie with the Austin cagers. Rice is all alone in fourth at 3-5, with Texas Tech and South ern Methodist bringing up the rear at 2-6. THE OWLS OF Coach Don Knodel won’t think they are going to face the same team tonight that they lost to last week in Houston. In that 75-66 win for the Aggies, the Maroon and White hardwooders threw the hall away 20 times hut maintained a res- pectible relationship with the bas ket to pull away with a victory. Saturday night, the Aggies knocked the turnovers total down to three as they put on an im pressive run - and -shoot perfor mance before 7,900. The Aggies tonight, will be hoping to make it two straight over Rice as they did over Texas. COACH SHELBY Metcalf will start the same lineup tonight, that has got the call the last two games. Sonny Benefield, Ronnie Peret, Mike Heitmann, John Un derwood and Billy Bob Barnett (high for the Aggies Saturday night with 32) will lineup for the opening tipoff. Rice, led by Larry Miller and Greg Williams, will try and coun ter with the same offense that nearly toppled Baylor. Knodel has been disappointed with the Owls’ performance in recent weeks and hopes his team may be on the way back. The Owls are now at 5-13 for the season. The Aggies are 10-8 on the year after the Texas triumph. AFTER TONIGHT’S match the Aggies will have five games left on their 1967-68 schedule. It goes without saying, that the Aggies must win them all if they are to figure at all in the SWC title scramble. If Metcalf’s crew can continue the aggressive play they have displayed in their last two games,' that task will not be as great as it seems. However, Saturday night’s game was also one of those occurances that makes sports activity so intriguing. It was a night where every thing worked, except defense,- Metcalf said after the game that! he was glad that there was a good turnout to see one of those college basketball rarities where, offensively, everything did work. THE GAME DID not start oat like it was going to be a record- breaking contest. The Aggiesi missed their first shot and Texas: didn’t score for two minutes. But when the two teams started to find the range, the baskets were easy prey for the two teams, i When the two teams retired for the halftime break, the Aggies enjoyed a eight-point bulge at 58. 48. With both teams shooting around the 60 percent mark, it was expected that the second half would see some of the hot-shoot ing cool off in the second twenty minutes of play. Texas did even better in the second half, but because of some sloppy play and fine defensive board rebounding by the Aggies, the Longhorns couldn’t keep pace THE AGGIES set two tear records and tied one conference mark in the victory. The 11" points set a new record for point: at A&M, while the 48 field goals was a new high. They tied the conference high point mark and narrowly missed setting a ne»- pinnacle as a final shot was nul lified by the final buzzer. It is interesting to note that Texas Tech had also scored 111 points last season against guess who?—TEXAS. The total points established a new conference top per while the 78 total rebounds tied a SWC record that had been set last season by the Aggies and TCU. A RECORD-TYING BASKET Byron Chandler (54) scores the Aggies’ last two points of the game Saturday night that tied a SWC record for most team points. Other Aggies shown are Terry Trippet and Mike Heitmann (22).
