Jackie Williams and Pat Thomas, the returning half of last year’s number two pass defense in the na tion, agree that the Aggies of 1975 will be stronger than the 1974 edi tion. “There isn’t any sense in me lying to you, I think we ll win the national championship. That’s straight from what I feel inside, said Williams, 5-11, 176 pounder from Plano. ^nri PAT THOMAS All-America cornerback Thomas was quick to agree with Williams. “That’s right, it’s just a matter of us doing what we are capable of doing. It’s not going to be easy, but we can do it.’’ Thomas, the first Aggie first team All-American since Dave Elmen- dorf in 1970, also added, “It’s really simple, we just have to do what we are supposed to do and do it to the best of our ability.” The Aggie pass defense was number two in the nation last year but Williams and Thomas feel that the extra year of experience will make them even stronger. “Telling the truth, we had a good pass defense last year, but with us having an extra year of experience we’ve just got to do better this year,” Thomas said. Thomas was elected an All- America last year and has already been named to various pre-season All-America polls. Thomas gives Williams most of the credit for calling the defensive shots on the field. “Jackie is good at picking those things up. He’s the quickest one at changing plays,” said Thomas. While each man praised the other they both agreed that neither of them could do the job if it wasn’t for the rest of the secondary and the entire defense. “We just have great communica tion among us,” Thomas said. “I think the fact that we all know each other so good really helps.” Aggie assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Melvin Robertson is pleased to have the first cousins playing on his side. “Pound for pound, Pat is the best athlete I’ve ever coached, Robertson said. (Robertson has eight of his former pupils in the pro ranks). He describes Williams as “tough and an excellent tackier . . . he’s have the number one pass defense just the ideal free safety.” in the country. They missed it by Last year Pat Thomas and Jackie one place. This year when they say Williams said they were going to it no one is going to doubt them. ROBERT HALSELL TRAVEL SERVICE AIRLINE SCHEDULE INFORMATION FARES AND TICKETS DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL CALL 822-3737 1016 Texas Avenue — Bryan JACKIE WILLIAMS Okie computer cheaters nabbed before season Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. - Between 50 and 100 University of Oklahoma students used fake computer cards to obtain OU football tickets, uni versity officials revealed Tuesday. Harold Ray, associate vice presi dent of the university community, said the university has the names of students on the fake cards and will retrieve the tickets from them. They said procedures are being tightened and students who used the fake cards will be subject to dis ciplinary action for falsification of administrative records. Jack Stout, university community associate vice president, said the ac tion could include suspension or disciplinary probation, depending upon the degree of violation. A new ticket system was devised this year to distribute tickets to stu dents. Each student was given a computer card bearing his name and the date on which he could purchase a ticket. Priority was based on the number of credit hours earned at OU. The computer card and student identification must be presented at the time of purchase and ticket offi cials retain the computer card. Ray said between 50 and 100 fake computer cards were turned in for tickets on Monday before being dis covered. He said that since the fake cards were detected the ticket sel lers are checking each computer card. “They’re picking them up easier now,” he said. Love Pierced Earrings?

Today, even so-called ff non-technical” courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari ety of technical calculations—complicated cal culations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offer you technology you probably won’t find in compet itive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations. It’s display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and scientific notation. Our HP-95 does all that—and much, much more. It’s programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-95, you enter the keystrokes necessary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10 digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things: ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them. Both the HP-91 and HP-95 are almost certainly on display at your bookstore. If not, call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7929 (in Calif. 800-669-9869) for the name of an HP dealer near you.
