EARN OVER s 650A MONTH
RIGHT THROUGH YOUR
SENIOR YEAR.
if you’re a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or
engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about.
It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-
Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify,
you can earn as much as $650 a month right through your
senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School,
you’ll receive an additional year of advanced technical
education, This would cost you thousands in a civilian school,
but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of
trainihg, you’ll receive a $3,000 cash bonus.
It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only
one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make
it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training
program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000
salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs
in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy
later. (But we don’t think you’ll want to.)
Ask your placement officer to set up an interview with a
Navy representative when he visits the campus on January 24-27,
or contact your Navy representative at 713-224-5897 (collect).
If you prefer, send your resume to the Navy Nuclear Officer
Program, Code 312-B468, 4015 Wilson Blvd., Arlington,
Va. 22203, and a Navy representative will contact you directly.
The NUPOC-Collegiate Program. It can do more than help
you finish college: it can lead to an exciting career opportunity.

ITS NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE.
Razorbacks whip
Aggies, 84-68
By PAUL ARNETT
Battalion Sports Editor
The basketball game between
Texas A&M and Arkansas ended
midway through the first half. At
that point, Arkansas leading 20-18,
Razorback forward Sidnay Moncreif
decided to quit playing basketball
and take up boxing.
When order was restored,
Moncrief was awarded a foul, and
A&M’s forward Jarvis Williams re
ceived a technical foul. From that
point it was all Arkansas as the
Razorbacks defeated the Aggies
84-68.
“We definitely lost the game after
the fight,” Coach Shelby Metcalf
said. T thought we were right in the
game until that point. Arkansas
played well, but our losing that
competitive edge definitely hurt
us.”
A&M managed to score only 13
points the remainder of the half. Ar
kansas scored 26.
“We just couldn’t get back on
track,” Karl Godine said. “We
didn’t start it, but we caught all the
blame. Moncrief hit Jarvis, then
came at me. All I was doing was de
fending myself.”
Williams agreed with Godine’s
assessment.
“Moncrief kicked me illegally, so
I shoved him,” Williams said. “He
then took a punch at me, so I hit
him back. After the fight the ref
called a close game which hurt us. I
don t know if we lost our competi
tive edge, but we definitely couldn’t
get back on track.”
KARL GODINE
Fight or no fight, the man who
had the knockout punch in basket
ball was Hog guard Ron Brewer.
Brewer scored 29 points to lead the
Razorbacks to victory. Marvin
Delph added 15, while Steve Shaw
had 13.
Moncrief finished the game with
four.
“You can shut down one player,
but not all of them," Metcalf said.
“That’s the sign of a great team.
There’s no doubt that Brewer’s the
best guard in the league. No matter
who we put on him, he was still able
to score.”
Dave Goff started Brewer at the
beginning of the game. But after the
first few minutes, it was evident that
Goff couldn’t handle him.
“He’s the best guard in the con
ference,” Goff said. “He can score
from anywhere. I tried to keep him

from getting down low, buttle
just too quick.”
I was feeling good, and h]

^Another li/e to Live By
He was dying a slow death.
His days were spent roving
freely around the countryside.
At one time he had a home and
family to call his own. At one
time he had a profitable job
with a steady income. Life was
good then. But now the family
was gone. He was occupied by
restless wandering. Sometimes
he would talk of how it used to
be. But not too often . . . be
cause there was never any hope
of it being restored. Life now
promised only two things: pain
and death. He was a leper.
Days passed. The pain in
creased slowly, consistently.
Areas of healthy skin that had
not already been afflicted grad
ually faded into a sickening
white tone. It was useless to
question “why me.” No doctor
could cure him. Everything
would remain as it was until
death finally came. He knew
his case.
But one day he saw the
man, Jesus of Nazareth. Having
heard that this man (who he
never dreamed he would see
personally) was able to heal, he
desperately approached Him
and said, "Lord, if Thou wilt
Thou canst make me clean.”
Jesus did not speak at first
and in spite of the repulsive,
unclean disease. He reached
forth and touched him.
Touched him!! A word would
have been enough, out Jesus
touched him and said, / will,
be thou dean. The leprosy was
gone. He was fully healed.
************
This was just a nice story to
me until one day I realized that
I too was a leper. Not in a phy
sical way, of course, so let me
tell you what I mean.
I was born into a respecta
ble, well-to-do family. During
my young growing up years I
was a good kid, never causing
my parents much problem. I
had lots of friends in high
school who liked me even
though I never drank, partied,
swore, or smoked. The teachers
regarded me as a good Business
student. In my senior year I
was secretary of both the
Senior Class and the National
Honor Society, and captain of
the Girls Varsity Basketball
team. I changed sports with the
seasons—archery, soccer, vol
leyball and track. Sports, plus
band and a couple of clubs,
kept me busy and around peo
ple. But the more I got in
volved with people I began to
realize that I wasn't such a
"good" person after all! Out
wardly maybe, but I knew the
real case. Within there was
selfishness. If things didn't
benefit me, I wanted no part
of them. Criticism and jealousy
were big monsters that contin
ually invaded my thoughts.
When teammates didn't pour
their guts out for a game
(like I would), or when some
body else was in charge and I
had a better idea. I'd cooperate
grudgingly. The cheerleaders
always received most of my
jealousy. Sometimes I myself
was even surprised by the nasty
cutting thoughts I had about
other people, even about my
closest friends. I was out for
myself and most people were
never able to tell. I knew it
was true. I liked all the atten
tion for "important me.'
knew the contrast of my outer
and inner person. I, like the
leper, was dirty—but it was
within. His outward condition
was my inward state. As hard
as I tried I couldn't change
myself. Hope? I wondered if
there was anything that could
overcome "self."
One day I, like the leper,
met the Lord Jesus. It was
apparent that my life was
not making it. I needed a-
nother Life to live by. In my
pitiful state I too called out to
the Lord to heal me. My words
were "Lord Jesus, come into
my life. I want You and I need
You." And then the story of
the unclean leper became my
experience. Jesus touched me.
He took the sickness of selfish
ness and hate from me. He
said, / am come that you might
have life and have it abundant
ly. The oldness was gone. I was
clean. I knew it. He loved me
so much, that in spite of what
I was. He gave His very Life for
and to me.
No more do I depend on my
"self." Jesus healed me for
good. His life in me has proved
itself over and over. Daily,
whenever I need Him He's
available for a fresh touch, for
a new speaking. His Life is my
life and becoming more so each
day. He's filled me with His
Life and now I'm full and
happy, satisfied within.
