Last season the 6-1, 215 pound linebacker was picked on the As sociated Press’ All - America squad. The Associated Press as well as most other organizations have yet to pick their 1968 honor teams. Hobbs, a senior from Amarillo Tascosa, was hampered most of the season with a bad back but still managed to turn in his eye popping performances. Krueger, the brother of for mer Aggie All-American Charley Krueger who now plays for the San Francisco 49ers, anchored the Aggie defensive line from his tackle post this year. It was the first All-America team that the 6-4, 243 pound native of Bryan has been named to. Named to the UPI’s second team along with Krueger were Jerry Levias of Southern Metho dist, Chris Gilbert of Texas Uni versity and Jim Barnes of Ar kansas all of the Southwest Con ference and Eugene “Mercury” Morris of West Texas State.

Despite the absence of “big name schools, the early schedule will find the Aggies facing rug ged opposition. Stephen F. Austin, for exam ple, lost only one letterman from Engineering and Science at IBM “The interdisciplinary environment keeps you technologically hot! “Working in data processing today pretty much means you work in a broad spectrum of tech nologies,’’says Nick Donofrio. An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a 1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering. He’s using his technical background to design circuits for computer memory systems. “Circuit design used to be a narrow job,” he says. “Today it can take you into the front yard of half a dozen different fields. In my job, for example, I work with systems design engineers, chemists, physicists, metallurgists, and programmers.” Nick describes a hypothetical case history: “A memory systems man comes to me with memory circuit requirements. Before I can start designing the circuit, I go to see a physicist. He helps me select an appropriate technology for the monolithic circuit. “As the design develops, I work with a test group and also check back with the systems and semiconductor people to make sure I’m on the right track.” Keeping up The interdisciplinary environment at IBM helps you keep up to date technologically. As Nick puts it, “You’re constantly exposed to what’s happening in other fields.” IBM needs technical graduates to work in research, design and development, manufactur ing, product test, field engineering, and space and defense projects. We also need technical people in programming and marketing. Check with your placement office If you’re interested in engineering and science at IBM, ask your placement office for more information. Or send a resume or letter to Charles Cammack, IBM Corp., Dept. C, 1447 Peachtree St., N.E., Room 810, Atlanta, Ga. 30309. We’d like to hear from you even if you’re headed for graduate school or military service.
