Eight bodies were recovered and

TWO MONTHS AGO the rain
would have been perfect for
Amarillo wheat farmers, but now
they could only sit and watch
30,000 nonirrigated acres given
over to wind, dust, weeds and
insects. What once was a promis

turned into a $1.3 million loss.

The reason for the good news,
Bailar said yesterday, is that the
Postal Service has achieved an
unprecedented surplus for a full
year of operation.

HERE'S ONE ENGINEERING OPPORTUNITY
YOU WON'T GET IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY.
If you’re thinking about a
career in engineering, think
about this.
How many companies can
offer you a nuclear submarine
to operate? The answer is
none. Equipment like this is
available only in one place...
the Navy.
The Navy operates over
half the nuclear reactors
in America. So our training is
the broadest and most com
prehensive. We start by
giving you a year of advanced
engineering technology. In
graduate school, this would
cost you thousands, but in
the Navy, we pay you.
Once you’re commissioned
as a Nuclear Propulsion
Officer, you’ll earn a top
salary. Over $24,000 a year
after four years. And you’ll be
responsible for the most
advanced equipment
developed by man. All the
Navy asks in return is that
you serve for 3 years on active
duty upon completion of your
training.
You have only until May
15th to enroll in this year’s
Navy Nuclear Propulsion
Candidate Program. If you
are majoring in engineering,
math or physical sciences,
contact your placement office
to find out when a Navy
recruiter will be on campus.
Or call toll free, 800-841-8000
(in Georgia, 800-342-5855)
for more information. And if
you’re still a junior, ask about
the Navy’s NUPOC Collegi
ate Program, which pays you
up to $6,000 during your
senior year.

to nuclear training, no
one can give you the same
opportunities.
