Jim Bolding, one of the United States’ top inter mediate hurdlers, won the quarter with a 47.8 effort, setting a meet re cord. Al Fuerbach, one of the best in his field, tossed the shot 66-11 3/4 to take another victory and the PCC mile relay foursome dashed to a 3:14.0 win. Roy Kotinek of PCC outjumped some headline performers in the high jump with a leap of 7-3. World record holder Dwight Stones was one of Kotinek’s victims. Former A&M jumper Marvin Taylor tied for fifth with a jump of 6-10. Stellar long jumper Kingsley Adams of the Colorado Track Club won that event by covering 24-8. Bill Collins of the Gulf Coast Track Club, formerly of TCU, won the 300-yard dash with a time of 30.3. Although not scoring any team points, the Aggies set a school record in the pole vault. Brad Blair crossed the high bar at 16-0, bettering by six inches the old mark. With three days remaining until the Southwest Conference indoor championships, the Ags are still without hurdler Craig MacPhail. MacPhail’s junior college transcripts have been tardy in reaching A&M officials. Shifton Baker has been hos pitalized with the flu and is indefinite for the conference meet. His loss would severely hurt the Aggies’ chances to place in the top three. Polevaulter Pat Ruehle is already unavailable due to an injured leg. Thanks to the recent SWC ruling, A&M can carry a travel squad of 24 men to the meet, an increase of two over the previous limit. Baylor is the early favorite with the prelims starting at 2 p.m. Friday and concluding with the finals that night.

Also, all senior football players with no remaining eligibility may suit up for the last game of the year. For baseball the limits are 33 at home and 22 on the road. Golf and tennis are allowed to take six and seven athletes respectively for home and road competition. Conference basketball limits were set at 15 on home sites and 12 on the road. This is a change from 12 and 10 for home and road games. Track limits were placed at 24 and 24 for indoor competition and 28 and 28 for outdoors. The commission also limited the number of official visits a conference school may finance for athletes visit ing a school for recruiting purposes. The ruling calls for 95 visits for football and 18 for basketball. All other sports are limited to eight visits by recruited athletes. Another ruling changed the amount of academic hours that athletes nearing graduation must take. Under the new ruling, athletes needing less than 12 hours to com plete their degree programs need only register for those remaining hours and can still be listed as eligi ble for athletic competition. Previously, athletes were forced to enroll for a minimum of 12 hours in order to remain eligible.

An Opportunity for 450 Highly Qualified Sophomores If you’re the kind of person we’re looking for, you’ve already started to think about what you’d like to do after graduation. If a scholarship leading to a career as an Officer in the U.S. Navy appeals to you, you’ll find this message well worth reading. Two-lfear Full Scholarships The opportunity is very attractive. If you’re selected, we’ll provide full tuition during your Junior and Senior years, pay for your books and educational fees, and give you $100 a month for 10 months each year to help cover your living expenses. There are two different programs you can apply for. The first is the Nuclear Propulsion Candidate Scholarship Program (NPCS). To qualify, you must have one semester each of calculus and physics (or two semesters of calculus) and have a B-minus average or better. It is open to men only. The other program is the Two-year NROTC Scholarship Program. The only difference in the qualifications is that you must have a C average (2.3 out of 4.0) or better. It is open to men and women. For both programs, you’ll need to pass Navy qualification tests. And, quite frankly, it will help if your major is math, physical science, or engineering. The Curriculum After you’re accepted, you begin with six weeks of training next summer at the Naval Science Institute at Newport, R.I. During your final two years of college, you take several required courses in math, physics, and Naval Science. You also go on a summer cruise prior to your Senior year. (Of course, you’re paid for all your summer duty.) A Challenging Job Upon graduation, you are commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. And from then on your career can take you anywhere in the world, in a variety of fulfilling jobs. Those who apply for the NPCS Program have a particular challenge ahead of them: The Navy’s Nuclear Power Program. Not everyone who applies makes it: the men in charge of more than two thirds of our country’s nuclear reactors must be a very special breed. Final acceptance into the Navy’s Nuclear Power Program is determined during your Senior year after an interview in Washington with the Director, Division of Naval Reactors. A two-year scholarship worth up to $10,000. A unique opportunity to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. You’ll want to act now. The deadline for acceptance is May 1,1976 — and once the quotas are filled, you’ll have lost your chance to earn yourself a scholarship. If you think you’ve got what it takes to qualify, fill out and mail the coupon below, contact either your local Naval Recruiting District or the Professor of Naval Science on your campus, or call 800-841-8000, toll-free, anytime.
