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.

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.”

“1 wanted to work for a
small company. 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. Cam-
mack, IBM Corp., Dept. C, 1447 Peachtree St.,
