Crowd at debate favors legal
By PEGGY C. McCULLEN
Battalion Reporter
What was labeled a debate turned into a description of two sides in
a multifaceted issue.
Thursday night’s MSC Great Issues program, “Marijuana: What’s
the Crime?”, examined decriminalization of marijuana and legalizing
its use.
R. Keith Stroup, founder and chairman of the board for NORML
(National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), supported
liberalizing existing laws.
They can put a man in prison for smoking a joint when a man who
kills his wife while intoxicated is put on probation, he said.
Dr. Robert C. Petersen, assistant director of the Division of Re
search of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, opposed legalizing
the use of marijuana because it is harmful to health.
Stroup said he is a daily pot smoker.
“I’ve been a pot smoker for 10 years and I’m tired of being treated
like a criminal, ” he said.
“When some 43 million people in the United States smoke
marijuana, you’re a pervert of a sort if you don’t smoke.
“The legal system hasn’t caught up with the social system,” he said.
Stroup said the government’s “excuse” for keeping pot illegal is
protecting people’s health.
“I’ve been arrested twice and not once did they send a doctor in to
check my health,” he said.
Petersen, speaking as a private individual and not as a federal
government representative, said researchers are just beginning to
know the parameters of smoking pot.
He said that before it is legalized, more research should be com
pleted. In the meantime, he said, the use of marijuana as a legally
available intoxicant should be discouraged.

BOSTON — Boston Symphony
Orchestra conductor Seiji Ozawa
has invited recuperating Boston
Pops maestro Arthur Fiedler to join
the orchestra on its tour of China in
March.
Ozawa has asked his 84-year-old
mustachioed colleague to share his
baton at concerts in Peking or
Shanghai, but whether or not
Fiedler accepts will be decided by
his doctors.
The popular white-haired maes
tro is recovering at his suburban
Brookline home from brain surgery
he underwent last month to relieve
difficulty he was having walking.
His recovery is progressing on
schedule, his doctors said, but a de
cision has not been made on the
China trip.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra
will be the first American orchestra
to perform in China since diploma
tic relations were established Jan. 1.
The trip is slated for March 12-20.

EMPLOYER
MAIN OFFICE: 2800 Texas Avenue • Bryan, Texas 77801 • 779-2800
We’re looking for the best
graduates in the nation.
That’s why we’re interviewing
at Texas A&M University.
We’ve grown because we’ve made it a practice to employ the brightest, most capable people available.
Which is exactly why we’re corning here.
We’re Halliburton Services, the largest oil field service company in the world. We provide a
full range of highly technical, extremely complex services to the petroleum and other industries. This
visit, we’re interviewing for positions in the following areas of our business:
Field
Engineering
Increasingly, our customers
—both major and
independent petroleum
companies—rely on the
skills of our engineers to
engineer oil and gas well
cementing, stimulation,
and remedial services. As
a field engineer, you’ll be
responsible for thoroughly
analyzing the needs of
your customer’s well,
engineering the service
or treatment design,
presenting your
recommendations to your
customer, marshalling the
equipment necessary to
perform the service, and
supervising the Halliburton
personnel on the job.
Field engineering
demands an individual
with excellent engineering
abilities and who is willing
to accept tremendous
responsibility within
a few months of
joining Halliburton.
Manufacturing or
Want Engineering
To maintain our exacting
quality standards
Halliburton manufactures
the vast majority of the
equipment we use in
providing our services. To
keep up with booming
demands we operate
several manufacturing
facilities in the U.S. and
abroad. We offer a unique
challenge because our
work involves both long
production runs and job
shop operations.
As an engineer in
this department, your
responsibilities can range
from developing
manufacturing procedures
for a new product to
evaluating quality
control procedures.
Individuals selected
for manufacturing
opportunities must have a
high degree of technical
ability, the personality to
work effectively with
people, and a healthy dose
of horse sense.
Research and
Development
A major reason for
Halliburton’s leadership
position is the constant
flow of new products,
techniques, and procedures
from our Research
and Development
Departments. The
departments are widely
recognized as both the
most productive and the
largest of their type in the
world. The departments
function in four basic areas
—Chemical, Mechanical,
Electrical, and Tools.
Several different
professional disciplines are
required. Eventually you’ll
be assigned primary
responsibility for an entire
project. It is a position that
requires an individual with
a unique understanding of
how to practically apply
theoretical concepts, able
to communicate with field
personnel, and who enjoys
the challenge of expanding
an entire industry’s
technological base.
Equipment
Engineering
One important reason for
our leadership in oil field
services is the rugged
dependability of our
equipment. Virtually every
piece of service equipment
we use is designed and
built by Halliburton
people. As an equipment
engineer, you’ll be given
responsibility for a
specific project.
That responsibility
will include all engineering,
introducing your product
to Halliburton field
personnel, and trouble
shooting in the field. You’ll
take charge of the complete
project from inception to
successful field
performance.
Equipment
engineering demands an
individual who is able to
cross interdisciplinary
lines, who can work well
with other engineers and
non-technical people, and
who has the ability to
communicate well.
Signup now at the placement office.
