See your Westinghouse recruiter March 1 At Westingnouse, there are unlimited possibilities to contribute to modern civilization. In ocean sciences, defense and space, atomic energy, transporta tion, computer sciences, water desalting, international projects, power sys tems, microelectronics ... and much more. Only a few companies in the whole world are involved in all the physical sciences. Westinghouse is one of them. Don’t sell yourself short. Get the whole picture. You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse (§) An equal opportunity employer gie basketballers have a show down match with the Southwest Conference-leading Baylor Bears. A four-way tie (all teams 5-4) for second place will probably be broken but it still could last into next week because none of the deadlocked teams play each other. IN ADDITION to the Aggies- Bears 1:15 p.m. TV match, the other three teams, Texas Chris tian, Arkansas and Texas will meet Texas Tech, Southern Meth odist and Rice respectively. The lone nightgame will be the Owl- Longhorn match at Houston. The game will mark the Aggies first game on regional TV this season. Baylor (7-2 in the SWC) has been on once before this sea son, their first loss of the year with TCU at Fort Worth. In fact, the Bears’ two losses have come in games played away from Waco. The second loss was Tuesday night in a 79-65 setback to Texas at Austin. Their one win on the road was the first game against the Aggies on Feb. 3. BAYLOR COACH Bill Menefee said yesterday that he was happy to be playing the game at Waco. He called the Aggies the hotest team in the SWC at the present time. Menefee’s Bears are leading the conference although they have lacked a man in the top ten sea son scorers for most of the year. Russell Kibbe, 6-3 forward should crash that barrier soon as he presently is fourth in SWC con ference scoring. Kibbe, senior from Dallas was the top scorer for the Bears in the two club’s first meeting. He hit for 22, with his 12 for 14 from the free throw line (he’s second in the league) doing the biggest damage. TOMMY BOWMAN, 6-4 for ward from Athens who leaps like he was 6-8 or more, has been the Bears top rebounder both in con ference and season games. The other consistent Bear scor er, 6-5 center David Sibley, also had a good night against the Ag gies two weeks ago. One Bear starter probably won’t be able to play. Menefee announced yesterday that Ed Thorpe, senior JC transfer from Stockton, Calif., is ailing from a bad ankle. The Aggies of Shelby Metcalf own a three-game winning streak with Texas and Rice (twice) the victims. In this span have come a SWC scoring record and a 20- point win over Rice.

Because the guy we’re talking about is a college recruiter from Alcoa. And the only way to play it is honestly. He’ll be on campus in a couple of days. And here’s what we recom mend you do at the interview. First, lay your cards on the table. Tell him what kind of work would really turn you on. Then, sit back and listen while he explains how your plans figure into Alcoa’s plans. (You’ll be surprised how versatile Aluminum Company of America can be.) So make it a point to meet Alcoa’s recruiter. He’s a confidence man you can really trust.
