County Judge R.J. “Dick”
Holmgreen said the commission
recognized the need for the second
car, but budget limitations called
for cuts in all areas and prohibited
its purchase.
In other business, the commis
sion approved a three-month con

for financial assistance in the place

The commission approved
amendments to the 1980 budget to
reailocate hinds for Bridge House,
although no dollar amounts were
changed.
Commissioners also approved a
request by the county auditor to
destroy some old records,
approved the payment of claims
against the county and approved
certificates of cancellation or cor
rections for the county tax office.
After the open session, the com
mission met in closed session to
discuss land acquisition for expan

Center to present
job interview tips
The Texas A&M Placement Cen
ter is offering a seminar on job inter
views at 4 p.m. Wednesday in 206
Memorial Student Center.
Dottie Gustafson, assistant direc
tor of placement, said the seminar
will consist of a film on job inter
views, followed by a question and
answer session.
Gustafson said the film, “Your In
terview, ” deals with the qualities re
cruiters look for, the questions they
ask, questions the applicant should
ask, and how the interview should be
followed up. She described the film
as entertaining and informative.”
Graduates from school generally
have very little experience with job
interviewing, Gustafson said, usual
ly limited to what they have done for
summer jobs. But skill in being in
terviewed will be very important for
the graduate, she said, because “af
ter all, this is not just a summer job,
this will be your career.
Committee views
alcohol law change
United Press International
AUSTIN — The House Health
Services Committee is considering
diverse proposals making it illegal to
have an open alcoholic drink in a car
but abolishing laws making it a crime
to be drunk in public.
The committee will hold hearings
on the proposals and other sugges
tions for dealing with Texas alcohol
problems at hearings in Midland,
Longview, San Antonio and Houston
this month.
Rep. Mike Ezzell, D-Snyder,
committee chairman, said a number
of states have adopted a uniform sta
tute ending the practice of sentenc
ing drunks to jail.
“I feel our present system is not
working because we have not been
emphasizing treatment to the degree
it should be emphasized, Ezzell
said.
Also under consideration are Sug
gestions requiring blood alcohol
tests on accident victims and third
party payments for alcoholism treat
ment.
Hearings are scheduled for Mid
land, June 17; Longview, June 18;
San Antonio, June 26 and Houston,
June 27.

Question: “What kind of
cancer checkup should I
have 9 I am a 55-year-old man
in good health.”
ANSWERIine: The kind of
cancer checkup a person
should have depends on age,
sex, health history and the
presence of any suspicious
symptoms. You should have
a thorough physical checkup
including examinations of
your head and neck and the
inside of your mouth. The
physician will also check your
skin for any abnormal dis
colorations, swelling or other
conditions. Your lungs will
be checked through a stetho
scope. If you smoke cigarettes
your physician may recom
mend a chest X-ray or spu
tum test. Your physical
should include a digital exa
mination of the rectum which
will also offer in men a means
checking the prostate
^ This is frequently the
site of various kinds of dis
eases in older males. You
may also be advised to per
form a simple “do-it-yourself
test for invisible blood in the

them to your physician or a

clinic to be analyzed. You
may be given a “procto,” a
visual inspection of the rec
tum and lower colon with a
lighted instrument. Routine
blood and urine tests also
will be done. A, thorough
cancer checkup includes a dis
cussion of your family health
history and any substances
you may come in contact
with on the job. A checkup
is the right time to mention
any questions or worries that
you might have about your
health or lifestyle.
Question “Do all breast
lumps have to be examined?
Two years ago I had a benign
lump and now another lump
has appeared. Must I go
through the whole process
again?”
ANSWERIine: Two years ago
you protected your health by
having a suspicious breast
lump diagnosed and now you
must do so again. Although
the vast majority of breast
lumps are completely harm
less. the possibility of cancer
always exists.

ALPHA II
For rhose who rake rheir srereo seriously.
BETA II
PRE-AMPLIFIER
BASIC STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
Featuring dual power meters, calibrated in watts and in decibels with four
meter ranges, the Alpha 11 incorporates dual power supplies with separate filters
and transformers for each channel, so that maximum regulation and minimum
crosstalk are achieved
Dual power supplies permit the awesome power necessary to maintain low
distortion during high, continuous power drain. Circuitry in the differential
amplifier section employs a current mirror design with a cascade circuit in the
first stage for extra stability.
The Alpha II protection circuit monitors the output for irregular voltages. The
circuit disconnects the speakers from the amplifier circuitry utilizing a “wide gap"
relay that will not let power arc across the relay terminals as the unit is
activated A thermostat monitors heat levels and activates the relay under
conditions approaching thermal overioad.

The Beta II optimizes performance as well as flexibility. It provides output
level and high phono overload capacity necessary to handle direct-to-disc
recordings.
Twin regulated power supplies minimize line hum and provide maximum
skjnal-to-noise ratio and low residual distortion. The FET differential input stage
results in direct coupling of the phono cartridge, eliminating the phase shift of
coupling capacitors. An active current source and cascade amplifier insure low
noise and ideal current regulation.
Bass and treble controls provide 10 dB of boost or cut at 70 Hz and 10 kHz.
When set at 12 o’clock, the tone controls are bypassed for maximum transient
response Other features include a 12-dB.Octave subsonic filter, 20-dB audio

Norman Eisenberg and Lcn Feld
man report on the B-I-C T-3 Two-
Speed Cassette Deck for Modern
Recording: The performance of the
B.I.C. T-3 — at both speeds — was
definitely suggestive of cassette decks
costing much more than it does. This
verdict applies to all tested perform
ance areas: frequency response, dis
tortion, signal-to-noise, recording
I headroom, wow and flutter, and so
on. The specifications for the T-3 are
impressive enough; our lab tests con-
|firmed or surpassed them. MR’ test
ed the unit at both speeds, using two
different tapes types as applicable,
and came up with nothing but super
latives on all counts. The “worst
case” response made it out to 19
kHz; the best response extended
from below 20Hz to beyond 20 kHz.
S/N varied from 57 dB to 69 dB,
depending on speed and tape used.
The latter figure, of course, suggests
the kind of performance you’d expect
of a high-grade open-reel deck.
The heart of the Heil air-
motion transformer is a feather
weight pleated Teflon diaphragm
bonded with conductive
aluminum strips. The diaphragm
is suspended within a massive
magnet structure. A series of pre
cision milled focus lenses concen
trate an intense magnetic field
around the diaphragm.
) When a signal passes through
the diaphragm’s foil strips, the
: bellows-like motion of the pleats
squeezes air out at five times the
speed of the vibrating diaphragm
itself. This virtual “instant accel-
eration” 1 ** distinguishes the Heil
| from all other loudspeakers.
