RIGHT THROUGH YOUR

If you’re a junior or senior
majoring in sciences like
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 get an additional year
of advanced technical
education. This would cost
thousands in a civilian school,
but in the Navy, we pay you.
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 unequaled hands-on
responsibility, a $24,000
salary in four years, and gilt-
edged qualifications for jobs
both in the Navy and out.
Ask your placement
officer to set up an interview
with a Navy representative
when he visits the campus,
or contact your Navy
representative at 800-841-8000,

House kills bill
to pay inmates
United Press International
AUSTIN — Texas prison inmates
have been making Illinois license
plates but now the state plans to
make its own tags, an action one
lawmaker contends means state
prison inmates can t be paid $1 a day
for their work.
The House abruptly killed a bill
Monday authorizing $l-a-day pay for
Texas prison inmates. The vote came
after House members were warned
profits from the sale of merchandise
made by inmates would not be suffi
cient to fund the plan, which would
cost $6.5 million annually.
Rep. Joe Hernandez, D-San An
tonio, argued sales of materials pro
duced by Department of Corrections
inmates last year totaled almost $25
million, and said that would easily
finance a prisoner pay plan propo
nents claimed would reduce prob
lems within prison walls.
But Rep. Jimmie Edwards,
D-Conroe, chairman of the House
Committee on Security and Sanc
tions, said the $25 million figure in
cluded $9 million from the manufac
ture of license plates for the state of
Illinois.
He said that contract will not be

renewed because the Illinois prison
is building its own plant to produce
license plates.
Hernandez’ bill would have drawn
the money for the $l-a-day pay from
the prison system’s Industrial Re
volving Fund, which was established
to receive revenue from sale of
prison products and purchase
equipment and raw materials for
manufacturing programs.
“With the cost of this bill from the
Industrial Revolving Fund, you’re
going to bust it, you’re going to bank
rupt it. The Industrial Revolving
Fund cannot take this kind of bill to
pay inmates $1 a day,” Edwards said.
He said the prison system would
have to sharply increase the prices it
charges other state and local agen
cies for prison-made products in
order to support the inmate pay pro
gram.
Rep. Matt Garcia, D-San Antonio,
said similar programs are in effect in
47 other states, and urged House
members to adopt the pay plan. He
also said he would offer an amend
ment to provide half the pay re
ceived by the inmates could he used
to reimburse victims of their crimes.
But House members approved
69-59 Edwards’ motion to table the
bill without hearing any of the pro
posed amendments. The vote kills
the issue for the session unless Her
nandez can persuade some represen
tatives to change their votes.
