A safe containing over $320 was
stolen in a break-in at the Reed
ensioit McDonald building over the
eekend.
Detective Ken Nicolas of the Uni-
'ftooJ versity Police Dept, said entry was
fell gained to the Student Publications
ice by breaking the glass in the
indow, reaching through it and un
locking the door. The break-in
curred between midnight Satur
day and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
- From marks on the floor, Nicolas
said the safe was probably loaded
onto a dolly by only two or three
people. He said thieves probably
loaded the safe on the dolly, took it
down the elevator and loaded it into
|pickup truck or van.
Detective Will Scott said a Uni-
rsity police officer checked the
[uilding Saturday around midnight
d found an open door. He then
called the building proctor to relock
Atoii
*riid
the door.
Cecilia Prihoda, who works in the
Student Publications Dept., said the
safe was between four and five feet 1
tall, and very heavy.
Nicholas said the safe was a fire
safe, built to keep up to 350 degree
heat out, but not people. The thieves
could open the safe easily with an
axe, he said.
The safe held money from student
directory, Aggieland and Battalion
advertising sales, said Betty Popp,
who also works in the office. The safe
also contained money belonging to
Sigma Delta Chi, the journalism
honor society, keys to other doors in
the office, some typewriter ribbons
and change.
No items other than the safe were
reported missing. Officers said any
one who has been to the office to pick
up an Aggieland or student directory
would know the safe was there. An
investigation is in progress.

A $1,000 scholarship, a $1,000
ardrobe allowance and a chance to
Compete in the Miss Texas Pageant
in Fort Worth are the three goals of
20 women competing for the Miss
Texas A&M University Scholarship
title.
I The pageant, an official prelimin
ary to the Miss America Pageant, is
onsored by the MSC Hospitality
bmmittee. It will be held at 7 p.m.,
Peb. 15 and 16 in Rudder Au-
torium.
Steve Noak, executive director of
the pageant, said Saturday’s com
petition was moved from 1 p.m. to 7
p.m. due to a conflict with the Texas
&M-Texas basketball game.
Noak said participation in the
holarship pageant was open to any
oman enrolled at Texas A&M in the
179-1980 school year, providing she
complied with rules and regulations
set up by the national Miss America
'ageant.
| He said about 40 women submit
ted applications to the pageant but
the number had to be Out do'iXm.' >
“We couldn’t accept every girl
who applies for it,” Noak said,
otherwise the pageant would have
been too long. What we did was have
ipseUnunary screening process. We
bad an interview, then we also had a
.cut scieemg, because they are the
two most important aspects of the
competition.
Wj “From those screening, we nar-
rbwed it down to 20 girls,” he said.
!' One of the 20 selected for the com
petition was Suzanne Marino, a
freshman civil engineering major
from Austin. Marino said she has
never been in a pageant before, but
iyith the encouragement of a fi'iend,
she decided to enter.
Looking to spiders
United Press International
II NEW YORK — Researchers at
Auburn University in Alabama are
studying how the spider spins his
web in order to discover possible
new techniques for spinning yarn
and weaving textiles.
A research team at the university
has established that spiders release
their silk in liquid form from a built-
in “spigot” and that it hardens at
once. The team wants to discover the
Mechanics of that operation, as well
as how the spider joins the strands of
the web together.
“I was with a friend one night and
we saw the thing that said they were
signing up, they suggested that I
signed up, so I did,” Marino said.
“It’s kind of always been a small
dream of mine to be in a pageant,”
she said.
Marino, whose talent is playing
the flute, said she was not nervous
about getting into the final competi
tion.
“This was something I really
wanted to do, so I gave it my best
shot and it worked out,” she said.
Noak said competition among the
women will be split into two nights.
Friday night will be devoted to talent
competition, while Saturday night
will feature the swim suit and even
ing gown competition. Saturday
night guest entertainment will be
provided by Miss Texas, Miss Dallas
and professional singers.
Noak said over $3,000 in scholar
ships would be presented at the
pageant. In addition to the $1,000
scholarship given to the winner, the
•‘'foups runners-up will mis# -v&cmv&L
scholarships.
Reserve tickets for the pageant are
on sale at the MSC Box Office. Stu
dent tickets are $1.75 per night,
while non-student tickets are $3.50
per night.
The Battalion’s office safe rested in the corner visible
through this broken door window, apparently broken by
thieves who carried the massive fireproof safe from student
newspaper office sometime during the weekend.

A “Can Do” attitude is apparent the moment you arrive in Austin. The Highland Lakes invite
you to enjoy a myriad of water sports such as skiing and sailing. Top-notch educational
facilities, including the University of Texas, staunchly uphold a tradition of excellence. A
positive outlook is everywhere...the Capital Building, the transportation system, the low cost
of living...it’s a way of life in Austin.
We’ve developed the same approach at the Motorola MOS Division in Austin, challenging
electronics professionals to be the best you can be at what you do. And, one reason we’re
among the leaders in the semiconductor industry is because we believe that “Yes you can,” if
you try. As an electronic engineer, you’d find the environment at Motorola stimulating and
rewarding, much the same as the city of Austin.
The opportunities are now, so do something
positive. We will be interviewing on your
campus February 18. To arrange for your
interview, or for more information, please
contact the placement office.
