Earlier this month, the House hoted 234-131 to add an amendment to proposed legislation extending the commission’s life. The amend- nent prohibits the commission from tudying or collecting information bout any government action deal- ig with abortion. Legislation with- ut the amendment has passed the enate. The House is advocating censor ship of the civil rights commission, said Karen Mulhauser, executive di rector of NARAL, in a letter to Car ter. A commission report added to the volatile abortion debate. It suggested that a constitutional amendment forbidding abortion would be in conflict with the civil rights of women. The bipartisan commission, headed by Arthur S. Flemming, is evaluating laws and government policies as they relate to the denial of equal protection of the law based on sex, race or national origin. tA ip e. 3-8fii r i professional hair designers FEATURING SEEKING MON.-SAT. 9-5:30 693-1772 1510 HOLLEMAN (ACROSS FROM THE SEVILLA APTS.)

You’re a software applications specialist. When you picked this career, you never dreamed that one day you’d rendezvous in Barcelona, Spain with two Navy destroyers. But when your company is Texas Instruments and one of your cus tomers is the U. S. Sixth Fleet, you learn to expect the unexpected. The destroyers are equipped with Tl computers and they need new software fast. You come aboard and sail with the Fleet until your job is completed. Not a bad assignment for a soft ware specialist named Susie. You’re glad you got into technology. The Incredible Talking Chip. You’re an inte grated circuit designer at Tl. You’ve helped find a way to make a chip talk, something no integrated circuit has ever done before. First application: an electronic aid that helps children learn to spell. The world’s first talking textbook. And that’s just the beginning. The talking chip’s potential is mind- bending. You’re glad you got into technology. i The Salesman’s Dream. You’re a Tl sales engineer. You’ve got what is prob ably one of the most irresistible selling messages in the history of salesmanship. It goes like this: “Hold this TI-59 Scientific Calculator in your hand. Now, let’s compare it to the most popular computer of the 1950s — the IBM 650. “The 650 weighed almost three tons, required five to 10 tons of air conditioning and 45 square feet of floor space. And it cost $200,000 in 1955 money. “Now look at theTI-59 Calculator you’re holding in the palm of your hand. It has a primary memory capacity more than double that of the 650. It performs its principal functions five to 10 times faster. And it retails for under $300.’’ With a story like this, the hardest part of your job is holding onto your sample. You're glad you got into technology. The Joy Of Complication. You’re in semi conductor design at Tl. You love it when people at parties ask you what you do. You say, “I make things complicated.” (Pause.) “In fact, I got promoted recently for creating some major complications.’’ What you mean (but seldom explain) is this: the more active element groups (AEGs) you can put on a single chip of silicon, the more the average AEG cost goes down. In short, you make things cheaper by making them more complicated. Your work made it possible for a Tl consumer product that sold three years ago for about $70 to sell today for $14.95. Your future looks wonderfully complicated. You’re at 30,000 AEGs per chip now and 100,000 is in sight. You’re glad you got into technology. fHHIf, I Outsmarting Smog. You’ve always designed air borne radars for Tl customers. * v. Now, all of a sudden you know your next radar design is going to stayatthe airport. On the ground. It’s on the ground that traffic controllers at Los Angeles Inter national Airport have a problem. They can “see” incoming and out going airplanes on their radar just fine, so long as the airplanes are in the air. But when the airplanes are on the ground —touching down, taking off, taxiing, parking — they are some times impossible to see and control. Ground smog obscures them. You believe you have an answer to the smog problem. You dig out the plans for an airborne ground mapping radar you helped design. You adapt the design so the L. A. controllers can use it to see through smog. It works beautifully. Today your smog-piercing radar is widely known as Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE). It’s standard equipment at L. A. Inter national and at the airport in Geneva, Switzerland. Other airports with smog and snow problems are expected to have it soon. You’re glad you’re in technology. Oil Sleuths International. You’re a geo physicist. A good one. You could be with any of the big oil companies. But you wanted to get with a company whose specialty is the same as yours. Exploration. That’s why you’re at Tl, in Geophysical Service. Tl explorer ships, Tl photo geologic aircraft and Tl truck- and tractor-mounted vibrator systems are working all over the world. They’re finding oil. And they’re identifying areas where no oil exists, thereby saving huge losses in drilling costs. Also, Tl’s worldwide computer network and its Advanced Scientific Computer is making 3-D recording and processing possible. This ex clusive exploration technique is the only practical way to unscramble “no-record” areas on land and sea. You’re a happy sleuth. You’re in on the biggest hunt in history. And your team is out in front. You’re glad you got into technology. If you’re not in technology yet, think it over. If you are in technology, talk to Texas Instruments.
