Jaworski urges constitutional amendment
United Press International
HOUSTON — Former Watergate
prosecutor Leon Jaworski Monday
urged a constitutional amendment to
limit American presidents to one
four-year term and new laws to ex
clude campaign political aides from
the White House.
Jaworski also told the Financial
Analysts Federation that Congress
should stop investigating its own cor
ruption and turn the job over to a
citizens’ commission. The Houston
attorney expressed disappointment
that congressional leaders praised,
then dropped the idea of a nonparti
san Institute for Congress.
Nugen t criticizes
opponent sharply
United Press International
AUSTIN — Railroad Commis
sioner Jim Nugent chastized his May
3 Democratic primary opponent
Monday, calling challenger Jim
Hightower an “irresponsible left-
) winger” with no qualifications to
serve on the powerful regulatory
agency.
It was the strongest criticism Nu-
i gent has levelled at Hightower, and
I he told reporters the comments are
| an indication his campaign is gaining
strength in the final two weeks.
The former Kerrville representa
tive said he represents the Texas
viewpoint on oil and gas matters, and
told reporter, “My opponent, on the
pother hand, represents an eastern
left-wing philosophy. ”
He contended about 40 percent of
Hightower’s campaign contributions
have come from out of state, and de
fended his own acceptance of large
contributions from persons involved
i H in the oil and gas industry, saying he
did not know more than half of the
contributors before they gave money
to his campaign.
Nugent contended his education
as an engineer and attorney better
qualifies him for the Railroad Com-
mission set.
“It seems to me the choice is clear
cut for Texas: A choice between a
-iproven performer with 20 years of
W : [service in state government, or an
^^irresponsible left-winger totally
.[■without qualifications who has en-
, gaged in a flim-flam campaign of de-
I ceit and demagoguery presented by
a traveling minstral show, ” Nugent
said.
In the other Railroad Commission
race, Rep. Buddy Temple, D-
Diboll, who is challenging incum
bent John Poerner for the Democra
tic nomination, said the commission
should help launch a campaign to
encourage greater use of gasohol in
Texas.
In campaign stops Monday in
Amarillo, Lubbock and Abilene,
Temple told supporters that gasohol
— a mixture of alcohol and unleaded
gasoline — offers an unlimited
source of energy.
Most important of all, gasohol is an
alternative energy source which is
available right now to replace foreign
oil.”
He suggested the Railroad Com
mission and the Agriculture Depart
ment seek legislative authority to de
velop a nationwide campaign prom
oting the use of gasohol.

“I am about convinced the chief
executive of the United States
should have only one four-year
term,” Jaworski said. “By the time
the second term rolls around, the
president has drunk too much of the
nectar of power, it seems.
“One must wonder just how many
of his actions during the last year of
the first term are dictated by sheer
politics (of gaining re-election).”
Jaworski also urged a new law for
bidding a president to give his cam
paign aides top White House posi
tions.
“Some of the most deleterious
conditions in the operation of the ex
ecutive branch have been caused by
the president’s appointment of cam
paign devotees,” Jaworski said.
“Although this is a thoroughly hu
man and understanding practice, it
makes for poor government. What is
it that qualifies a political hack for
high office in the executive branch?”
As for Congress, Jaworski said,
“The traditional practice of protect
ing fellow members from the punish
ment that fits their crimes provides
additional ground for the public’s
disgust with this important branch of
our government.
“The stubborn fact is that an inde
pendent group should investigate
the conduct of Congress,” Jaworski
said.
Jaworski, who led a post-
Watergate investigation of Korean
influence-peddling in Congress, said
the proposed Institute for Congress
would have helped improve Con
gress’ low standing in public opinion
polls.
“When the Institute for Congress
was first proposed, there were glow
ing tributes paid by members of
Congress. Then came second
thoughts. ‘Does Congress really
want this? Do we (Congress) want
the public to know of these unbiased
recommendations to us — some of
which we may not want to adopt for
political reasons?’
“It was abundantly clear to us that
Congress would not receive our
efforts,” Jaworski said, “that we
would merely be spinning our
wheels and the Institute was aban
doned.”

WHAT COULD
THEARMY
Drop your guard for a
minute. Even though you’re
in college right now, there
are many aspects of the
Army that you might find
very attractive.
Maybe even irresistible.
See for yourself.
MED SCHOOL. ON US
You read it right.
The Army’s Health Professions Scholar
ship Program provides necessary tuition,
books, lab fees, even microscope rental dur
ing medical school.
Plus a tax-free monthly stipend that
works out to about $6,450 a year. (After
July 1, 1980, it’ll be even more.)
After you’re accepted into medical
school, you can be accepted into our program.
Then you’re commissioned and you go
through school as a Second Lieutenant in the
Army Reserve.
The hitch? Very simple. After your resi
dency, you give the Army a year as a doctor
for every year the Army gave you as a med
student, and under some conditions, with a
minimum scholarship obligation being two
years’ service.
INTERNSHIP, RESIDENCY
& CASH BONUSES
Besides scholarships to medical school,
the Army also offers AMA-approved first-
year post-graduate and residency training
programs.
Such training adds no further obligation
to the student in the scholarship program.
But any Civilian Graduate Medical Educa
tion sponsored by the Army gives you a one-
year obligation for every year of sponsorship.
But you get a $9,000 annual bonus every
year you’re paying back medical school or
post-graduate training.
So you not only get your medical educa
tion paid for, you get extra pay while you’re
paying it back.
Not a bad deal.
A GREAT PLACE TO BE A NURSE
The rich tradition of Army Nursing is
one of excellence, dedication, even heroism.
And it’s a challenge to live up to.
Today, an Army Nurse is the epitome
of professionalism, regarded as a critical
member of the Army Medical Team.
A BSN degree is required. And the clinical
spectrum is almost impossible to match
in civilian practice.
And, since you’ll be an Army Officer,
you’ll enjoy more respect and authority than
most of your civilian counterparts. You’ll
also enjoy travel opportunities, officer’s pay
and officer’s privileges.
LIKE YOU?
Army Nursing offers educational oppor
tunities that are second to none. As an Army
Nurse, you could be selected for graduate
degree programs at civilian universities.
ADVANCED NURSING COURSE,
TUITION-FREE
You get tuition, pay and living allowances.
You can also take Nurse Practitioner
courses and courses in many clinical special
ties. All on the Army.
While these programs do not cost you
any money, most of them do incur an addi
tional service obligation.
A CHANCE TO PRACTICE LAW
If you’re about to get your law degree
and be admitted to the bar, you should con
sider a commission in the Judge Advocate
General Corps. Because in the Army you get
to practice law right from the start.
While your classmates are still doing
other lawyers’ research and other lawyers’
briefs, you could have your own cases, your
own clients, in effect, your own practice.
Plus you’ll have the pay, prestige and
privileges of being an Officer in the United
States Army. With a chance to travel and
make the most of what you’ve worked so
hard to become. A real, practicing lawyer.
Be an Army Lawyer.
ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS
Though you’re too late for a 4-year
scholarship, there are 3-, 2-, and even 1-year
scholarships available.
They include tuition, books,
and lab fees. Plus $100 a month
living allowance. Naturally
they’re very competitive. Because
besides helping you towards your
degree, an ROTC scholarship
helps you towards the gold bars
of an Army Officer.
Stop by the ROTC office on
campus and ask about details.
UPT0S170AM0NTH
You can combine service in
the Army Reserve or National
Guard with Army ROTC and
get up to $6,500 while you’re still
in school.
It’s called the Simultaneous
Membership Program. You get
$100 a month as an Advanced
Army ROTC Cadet and an addi-
ional $70 a month (ser
geant’s pay) as an Army
Reservist.
When you graduate,
you’ll be commissioned as a
Second Lieutenant, but not
necessarily assigned to ac
tive duty. Find out about it.
A BONUS FOR PART-TIME WORK
You can get a $1,500 bonus just for enlist
ing in some Army Reserve units. Or up to
$2,000 in educational benefits.
You also get paid for your Reserve duty.
It comes out to about $ 1,000 a year for about 16
hours a month and two weeks annual training.
And now we have a special program to
help you fit the Army Reserve around your
school schedule. It’s worth a look.
A SECOND CHANCE AT COLLEGE
Some may find college to be the right
place at the wrong time for a variety of reasons.
The Army can help them, too.
A few years in the Army can help them
get money for tuition and the maturity to use it
wisely.
The Army has a program in which money
saved for college is matched two-for-one by the
government. Then, if one qualifies, a generous
bonus is added to that.
So 2 years of service can get you up to
$7,400 for college, 3 years up to $ 12,100, and 4
years up to $14,100. In addition, bonuses up to
$3,000 are available for 4-year enlistments in
selected skills.
Add in the experience and maturity gained,
and the Army can send an individual back to col
lege a richer person in more ways than one.
We hope these Army opportunities have in
trigued you as well as surprised you. Because
there is indeed a lot the Army can of f er a bright
person like you.
