(AP Wirephoto) Aggie Finds Work In Madrid, Spain Schiil Agustine Fernandez of Eagle Pass, a sophomore chemical engi neering major at Texas A&M, will work in Madrid, Spain, next summer. He was placed with a Madrid antibiotics firm through the In ternational Association for the Exchange of Students for Tech nical Experience (IAESTE) in which the Memorial Student Cen ter travel committee participates. Fernandez, who will be 20 years old March 13, will do chemical and microbiological analysis work with the firm eight weeks. The company will provide board and lodging plus 500 pesestas (about $9) a week pocket money. Following the program work period, Fernandez plans to see several European countries on a train tour. IAESTE will fly him to the Netherlands in June. He will travel by train through Bel gium and France to Spain. The return flight departs Europe in early September. Fernandez became acquainted with the IAESTE program through Eddie Herrera, a senior aerospace engineering major from Edinburg who worked for a Ma drid aircraft firm through IAESTE last summer. The bi-lingual student said Spanish he speaks varies only slightly with that spoken in Spain. Research Article Published In Book An article from Texas A&M research in the state’s political history has been published in the West Texas Historical Associa tion’s latest “Year Book.” Dr. Thomas L. Miller authored the article, “Oscar Callaway and Preparedness.” Callaway, Demo cratic congressman from the 12th District, 1911-1917, opposed Presi dent Wilson’s “preparedness” pro gram before the U. S. entry into World War I. “There are tonal differences in the way some words are pro nounced,” he noted. “And I’ll have to learn some colloqual- isms.” Fernandez was moderator for an International Student Congress at Eagle Pass High, where he graduated in 1966. He is study ing under an A&M Opportunity Awards scholarship, works part- time for the food service depart ment in the MSC and has a 1.88 grade point ratio. Agustin did chemical analysis work for DuPont at Orange last summer and is a member of th Brazos Valley Astronomical So ciety.

William R. Miller Tax Assessor-Collector WASHINGTON <A>) _ A presi dential commission said Thursday that racism and riots will split the nation into “two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal” — unless massive and costly remedies are begun at once. The bipartisan National Com mission on Civil Disorders, after eight months’ intensive study of the 1967 big-city riots, reported that bias and segregation “threat en the future of every American,” but added: “The movement apart can be reversed.” It notified President Johnson that new taxes must be levied if necessary to “meet unprecedented levels of funding” for slum hous ing, education, job training, and welfare. The commission did not put a price tag on its sweeping propos als, but their magnitude made it clear that the cost would at least approach the $2 billion a month level of the Vietnam war. Reporting on its analysis of the riots that brought looting, shoot ing and arson to American cities last year, the commission headed by Gov. Otto Kerner of Illinois said: “The urban disorders of the summer of 1967 were not caused by, nor were they the consequence of, any organized plan or ‘conspir acy’.” But the commission said that militant Negro groups and “in dividual agitators” helped create the hostile atmosphere that con tributed to the outbreaks and — with obvious reference to the summer ahead — added this cau tion: “We recognize that the contin uation of disorders and the polar ization of the races would pro vide fertile ground for organized exploitation in the future.” The report bore down on race prejudice as the underlying poi son, saying: “What racism is es sentially responsible for the ex plosive mixture which has been accumulating in our cities since the end of World War II.” GRE Registration Deadline Today Friday is the registration dead line for Graduate Record Exam inations to be given by the Texas A&M Counseling and Testing Cen ter March 29-30. Students who cannot take the GRE on those dates may register for the national testing program to be given April 27, S. Auston Kerley, center director, reminded.

It may sound crazy, but that’s why I went with IBM!’ “When I was in school, I dreaded the thought of working for some huge company where I’d be just another number," says IBM’s Jim Hamil ton. (Jim, who has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, is a Systems Engineering Manager in Marketing.) “At the same time, I knew there were definite ad vantages in working for a large firm. So as I interviewed each company, I checked into the degree of individuality I could expect there. “One of the main reasons I picked IBM was their decentral ization. They’ve got over 300 locations throughout the country. Which to me means a big company with a small-company atmosphere.” IBM’s small team concept “Actually, there’s plenty of decentralization even within each location. For instance, in science and engineering, they use a small team concept. It means, no matter how large the project, you work individually or as part of a small team—about four or five people. “In marketing, I was pretty much my own boss even before I became a manager. As a systems engineer, it’s up to you to find the solution to a customer's problem, and then see it’s carried out in the optimum way. You work with the customer every step of the way." There’s a lot more to the IBM story than Jim has mentioned. For more information, visit your campus placement office or send an outline of your inter ests and educational background to C. F.
