Diego.
Stokes and the crew of his HH-3
Jolly Green Giant helicopter re
scued one seaman with a severed
foot and another with a partial!) se
vered hand, both from the deck of a
fishing vessel.
The flight took nearly 14 hours of
flying time and five aerial refuel
ings.
The recovery, which was compli
cated b> rain and low ceilings in the
vicinity of the ship, took only 15
minutes.
Stokes is the unit Aircrew Stan
dardization Officer of the 41st
Aerospace Rescue and Recovery
Squadron at McClellan AFB.

the ordinance to the main office in
San Angelo.
"We are still looking at the ordi
nance and the rates contained in it,
he said.
The passage of the ordinance was
only one in a series of moves and
countermoves made by College Sta
tion, Bryan and General Tele
phone.
General Telephone requested a
$1,073,193 increase in local re
venues on April 28. The College
Station Council delayed any action
on the request until two public hear
ings had been held to receive com
munity input on the quality of the
phone company’s local service.
Bill McMorries, an Amarillo-
based phone rate consultant, was
hired by both cities to help deter
mine a "fair rate increase to grant
to General Telephone.
The final public hearing was held
on Sept. 9 and six days later, the
College Station and Bryan City
Councils offered the phone com
pany $219,307, about 20 per cent of
General Telephone’s original re
quest.
A meeting was held Sept. 18 bet
ween the two cities and General
Telephone to try to reach a com
promise.
No compromise was reached and
General Telephone on Monday de
clared the franchise granted by the
cities to the phone company null
and void’ and put the rate increase
into effect.
The cities sought and were
awarded a temporary restraining
order against General Telephone by
85th Dist. Court Judge W. C. Davis
on Tuesday.
The restraining order was sought
because of a conflict of opinion bet
ween General Telephone and the
two cities as to the law and account
ing principles to be applied in arriv
ing at the fair rate of return.
A hearing, which must be held
within 10 days of the issuance of a
temporary restraining order, was
then scheduled for Oct. 3 to deter
mine whether a permanent injunc
tion would be awarded against the
phone company.
In other action Thursday night,
council voted to accept the
committee’s recommenda-
to build the following
sidewalks in the following priority:
1) south side of Boswell Street from
Langford Street to Lawyer Street; 2)
Caudill Street from Lawyer Street
the
safety
tions
to Gunsmith Street; and 3) south
side of Francis Street from Williams
Street to Ashburn Street.
The estimated cost of the three
projects is $9,254. North Bardell,
city manager, said funds are pro
vided in the budget to meet these.
The establishment of a 17-acre
arboretum in Bee Creek Park was
also authorized by the council.
The arboretum has been actively
sought by the arboretum committee
of the Brazos County Bicentennial
Celebration Committee.
A spokesman for the arboretum
committee said the plans are to
utilize the exis.tfog trees and plant
life and add other native Texas
plants to the area.
The council’s ambulance commit
tee reported that Sherrill Ambu
lance Service, Inc. is voluntarilyi
keeping records on responding'
times and services rendered.
The council voted to turn over the
new modular ambulance to Sherrill
as soon as insurance requirements
are met. The contract for operation
will be on a day-to-day basis until a
formal agreement is passed by the
council.
Academic
Council
(From Page 1)
In other business, the Academic
Council set July 31 as the cut-off
date for applications for under
graduate admission.
“This will in effect reduce the
number of students to some ex
tent, said Cooper. "But the main
idea is to allow one month to pro
vide for better planning of the fall
term.”
Twenty-three new courses were
approved by the council, ranging
from Agricultural Economics 344
(Agricultural Law) to P.E. 608
(Leadership in Outdoor Education)
to Planning 672 (Urban Transporta
tion Study).
The basic curricula requirements
for a degree program in Earth Sci
ences, Entomology, Wildlife and
Fisheries, Food Technology, and
Economics were also approved.
History professor Dr. Betty Un-
terberger was elected to serve as
vice-chairman of the 128-member
council for the next year. The
chairman of the council is Jack Wil
liams.
The point was raised by Council
man Jim Dozier that under the cur
rent subdivision ordinance, only a
developer who subdivides his land
is required to make a park land de
dication. A loophole exists because
of the wording of the ordinance so
that if all of a developer’s land is
built in apartments and therefore
not subdivided, there is no re
quirement for park land dedication.
A statement of policy was ap
proved by the council to remedy
this problem, stating that no de
velopers may avoid the park land
dedication by not subdividing.

The calculations you face require no less.
Today, even so-called “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-25 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-25, 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-21 and HP-25 are almost
certainly on display at your bookstore. If not,
call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif.
800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealer
near you.
