If it sounds interesting, go to room 103-B of the Agricultural Build ing, talk to Walter Ogrodnik, and join the Peace Corps. Ogrodnik is the only full-time Peace Corps recruiter on a college ampus in Texas, and he was placed at Texas A6cM University for a reason. The Peace Corps needs people interested in careers in ag- iculture. A volunteer can choose which of 65 countries he would like to serve in and w hat type of job he would like to do, Ogrodnik said. The Peace Corps needs people interested in a variety of fields including agriculture, engineering, veterinary science, foreign lan guages, public health and many others, he said. People join the Peace Corps for a variety of reasons. It is good career experience. You receive experience in a less structured and more responsible position. You can learn another language and it s a good way to travel. You also get to help out people in developing countries. You don t get a salary, but you get money to pax for the cost of living in the country. S125 is set aside every month for the two year stint. That comes to almost S3,000 dollars. Y ou also get preference for civil service jobs. Ogrodnik said. A volunteer does not have to be a major in an agriculturally related field, however. The Peace Corps trains people. A liberal arts major could work in farming, health, or nutrition. A volunteer is taught everything he Ineeds to know, he said. !onsol to keep media contract mnot be m selves ng.

I The ESC serves sixty school dis- liets in a 15-county area providing Jjecial education and guidance :<jjpunseling consultation, computer ■cilities for aptitude and achieve ment testing, and in-service educa- Bon for teachers in addition to the media service. B The media service provides ijudio-visual material for member school districts to use in instruc tional programs, said Assistant iSuperintendant H R. Burnett. ■ The charge to the school districts Br the service is based on the dis- ■icfs average daily attendance. B The board also decided to follow ■uperintendant Bruce Anderson’s Iggestion to move their meetings to the Oakwood Library. Anderson cited the better acoustics in the Oakwood building as the main rea son for the move. The Oakwood library is located the Special Services building on Jer sey Street where the board cur rently meets. The move will be effective with the next board meeting. In other business, the board heard Assistant Superintendant for Finance Donald Ney try to explain the effects recent tax-relief legisla tion will have on district revenues. Senate Bill 350 (S.B. 350), origi nally introduced by the legislature as a remedy for school districts fol lowing the revenue vacuum created by the House Bill 1060 tax relief amendment, was outlined to the board. After the lengthy and often com plicated explanation. Trustee Elliott Bray remarked that S.B. 350 would in reality decrease the revenue available to the district. what’s up at A&M Tuesday MOVIE: "Love Story," starring Ryan O’Neil and Ah' McGraw, will be shown at 8:45 p.m. in the Grove Theater.

You should’ve seen the one that got away United Press International JONES BEACH, N.Y. — A fisherman at Jones Beach hauled in a live one Sunday — a live rocket from World War II. According to Nassau County police, an unidentified fisherman hooked the rocket that was encased in a SV^-foot black cylinder. He pryed it open, saw the tripwire and called for help, police said. Police evacuated about 800 people from a portion of the beach where the rocket was found, then brought it to the Jones Beach dump and detonated it. The rocket was a World War II practice missile with explosive phosophorous and propellant in its cone, police said.

But not so long ago it simply stood for an engineering ideal: accu racy of reproduction, or as we have termed it at AR, “truth in listening.” As far as speakers are concerned, a large enclosure, precisely designed and placed, was the formula for accu rate reproduction in the early days. Even now this same approach is ap propriate in certain circumstances. But giant cabinets present obvi ous disadvantages for tne majority of listeners. And if AR has made a sig nificant contribution to the art and science of building speakers it has been to develop ways to dramatically improve accuracy in speakers of a size that most of us can live with. The AR invention which has proved most significant is the acoustic suspension concept. -300 FM/AM Stereo Receiver i, Texas tied exclusive patches latter hereim ■e Station, Til I tion iongress . .

And that attitude is reflected in the SA-300 receiver. With moderately efficient speakers, this receiver can provide astonishingly clean, accurate sound, and for a very reasonable price. Solid Power Output Measured in compliance with FTC standards, the SA-300 puts out 35 watts per channel, continuous “RMS” power into 8 ohms, from 20-20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.04% total harmonic distortion. At half power, total harmonic distortion is a scant 0.025%, measured from 20-20,000 Hz.
