How would you like to work for the next two years in an exotic
Dieign country, live off an expense account and receive a bonus when
on return?
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.

The A&M Consolidated School
sard voted Monday night to con-
Jnue its media service contract with
the Region VI Educational Service
ICenter(ESC) for the 1979-80 school
year.
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.

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.

The term “high-fidelity” has
come to stand for a multi-million
dollar industry and its products.
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.

Blosser,
At Technics, we believe that advanced
engineering should be applied to all our
components, not just the most expensive ones.
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.
