The tour begins and ends in New
York. The cost is $850. Additional
round-trip air fare from New York to
Helsinki, Finland is an estimated
$450.
Round-trip transportation to New
York is the participants responsibil
ity, but Barszap said he is working
on a low-cost, round-trip flight from
Dallas or Houston to New York es
timated at $150 to $165.
The $850 tour fee includes all
housing, all meals in Russia and
breakfasts in Poland, train and air
fare between cities on the tour plus
school, farm and factory visits, two
ballet performances, a performance
at the circus in Moscow and a folk
dancing exhibition.
If thoughts of fur coats create a
desire for a mink, Barszap said,
“Mink coats are a bargain in Russia,
for that matter, any fur. ” Of the 300
students he has taken to Russia in
the past seven years, “everyone has
bought at least a fur hat.”
Due to deadlines set by Soviets,
Barszap said students interested in
participating should contact him
at 845-2124 or at his home, 693-
3754, as soon as possible.
Barszap said he needs a $100
deposit from each participant by
March 1 and a current passport by
March 15.
If participants want more travel,
an optional visit to Prague, Czecho

Saudis increase
oil output, price
United Press International
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Saudi
Arabia will raise its crude oil pro
duction by a million barrels daily for
the next two months — and charge
more for it — to offset the Iranian
crisis, the Middle East Economic
Survey (MEES) said Monday.
Production will increase from the
regular ceiling of 8.5 million barrels
to 9.5 million barrels for the first
quarter of 1979 only, MEES said.
MEES, quoting a Saudi Arabian
source, forecast that oil output
would return to the normal ceiling
of 8.5 million barrels per day in sub
sequent quarters. However, future
production would be reviewed on a
quarterly basis if the Iranian crisis
persists.
MEES quoted the Saudi source
as saying the price paid for the extra
crude oil by Aramco foreign partici
pants -— Exxon, Texaco, Socal and
Mobil — will be higher than nor
mal, but did not indicate the
amount of the increase.
The rationale for charging more
for the additional oil, the source ex
plained, is that this represents oil
produced ahead of time to offset the
Iranian shortfall. Normally, the oil
would have been produced in later
quarters when prices, according to
the OPEC schedule, would be
higher.

There’s no place for
technological careers like TI.
People join TI for love of technol
ogy. They stay for a lot of reasons.
There are no artificial barriers to
your initiativeat Texas Instruments.
Everybody’s on a first-name
basis, even up to the president of
the company.
There are titles at TI and differ
ences in responsibility, of course.
But when it comes to communica
tion, everybody has the same rank.
New employees don’t start at the
bottom of a pecking order, because
there isn’t one. If you get a good
idea your first week on the job, you
sound off. And you get listened to.
On the other hand, if you’d like to
ask some questions of the head of
the department, you ask. And you
get answers.
TI has deliberately removed all
impediments to progress. All the
way to neckties, if you please.
This ceremony-free atmosphere
is most conducive to a free ex
change of ideas. That is its purpose.
Standard corporate status sym
bols are also missing at TI. By
design. Offices are functional,
not fancy.
There are beautiful courtyards,
patios, and plantings. There are
recreational facilities recognized
as the best in industry. But all
these things are for everybody.
At Texas Instruments, personal
rewards come in the form of re
spect and advancement. Every
body is evaluated regularly. There
are no “missing persons.”
Texas Instruments has been
called one of the best-managed
companies in the country.
For TI people, it’s a move-up
environment. There’s no place
like it.

34-page picture
story of TI people,
places, and
opportunities. And
