administration degree) is one of the
hottest college credentials going to
day, probably second only to an en
gineering diploma in its ability to at
tract a job, said Dr. Carlton Stolle,
assistant dean of the College of Busi
ness Administration.
At Texas A&M, 42 percent of the
MBA students come from within the
traditional business background,

“Obviously, some of these people
don’t think their undergraduate de

Stolle said.
Stolle said there are few recent
engineering graduates entering the
program. The market is just too
good.

Entering students in business at
Texas A&M are up 28 percent over
last year. The university’s next
largest increase is in engineering
which expects a 14 percent increase.

“The non-business students have
to reach a level of competency
quickly,” explained Stolle. “The only
way to do that is with leveling
courses that equalize and put all the
students on basically the same foot

The music tha^ your customers listen
to at home was probably recorded
using Electro-Voice professional micro
phones and mixed using E-V Sentry®
studio monitors. Is it any wonder that
E-V Interface® high fidelity speaker
systems are rated among the finest
for home systems?

•Voice story.
If music is your business, it’s good
to know that the famous EVM loud
speakers are not only standard in many
manufacturers’ “premier” lines of
enclosures, but are the replacement
speakers of choice by many concert
sound men. These same speakers are
standard in every Electro-Voice music
speaker product. And E-V microphones
are seen being used by more vocalists
and instrumentalists on stage than
ever before.
Commercial Sound? Think of in
stallations like the Pontiac Silverdome,
Yankee Stadium and the Las Vegas
Convention Center. They’re all Electro-
Voice. No wonder so many contractors
turn to Electro-Voice sound systems
