University News Service Minority college students om throughout the Southwest will receive $2,000 stipends and free dormitory accomodations ai Texas A&M for 10 weeks this summer through a program sponsored by the College of Ge- Isciences. The five students selected for le program will have the op portunity to work one-on-one ith a faculty member on a re search project in geology, geo physics, ocean drilling, meteo rology or geography. Research subjects include mapping ancient river terraces in the Brazos Valley, study of sediments from the sea floor, seismic field studies and deep sea drilling. The program, which was sug gested by a faculty group, be gins June 4 and is one of the several summer projects at Texas A&M designed to en hance minority recruitment and representation on campus. The College of Engineering will also bring about 50 black and Hispanic Texas high school students to campus June 17-22 during its “Summer Enrich ment Experience in Engi neering” program. Participants in the engineering program at tend special classes in science, math, engineering and com puter programming. “The College of Geosciences is strongly oriented toward re search,” said Dr. Davis Fahlqu- ist, director of the summer ap prentice program. A $3,000 grant from the Uni versity and donations from in dustry support the program, Fahlquist said. Applications for the program were sent to about 20 colleges in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico, each of which have at least 40 percent minority student pop ulations. onsumer prices higher in April United Press International would kB^ASHINGTON — Consumer l rt, nW r ‘ ces climbed 0.5 percent in nil f'MndltMp,j| q ie Labor Department patticukBaid Tuesday, with housing, formBsed cars, fuel, pork products nd many other goods and serv- ites growing more expensive. The rise in the Consumer rice Index was more than dou- |le that in March, reaching an nnual inflation rate of 5.6 per- lent. Another Labor Department eport showed the spending power of the average blue-col- fcr worker — earnings adjusted Bor inflation —jumped 1.6 per- ^ent in April, the most since De ember 1982. Pay has increased afternoon I wish theml e NCAA i Richard] rtmentofE :o 3.3 percent faster than prices in the past year. Also Tuesday, a Commerce Department report showed April factory orders for heavy- duty items fell 6.4 percent, a larger decrease than in any month of the last recession, per haps signaling a long-predicted economic slowdown. Two-thirds of the decline was in defense orders. The Consumer Price Index in April was 308.8, meaning the government’s sample “market basket” of goods and services that cost $100 in 1967 would have cost $308.80 last month. Although . the month’s in crease in prices was not quite as much as the year’s peak growth of 0.6 percent in January, the upward movement was no longer localized in food prices. All prices besides food and energy were up 0.6 perceni, re inforcing the view that has been discouraging investors lately — that fundamental inflation forces are building in the econ omy. A White House spokesman, however, said the figures are a sign that inflation remains “un der control” during a period of economic expansion. Half of April’s increase was in housing and another third of the change was in gasoline and used car prices, the report said. Mixed with the increases was one especially sharp decline, an 11.9 percent drop in fresh vege table prices, the most in nearly 10 years. Pork prices jumped 2.2 per cent. Analysts said that this is the inevitable result of a grow ing shortage of hogs that will last for a long time. Beef prices, however, slipped a little. Housing rose the most. The 0.6 percent increase in housing costs was made up of many in gredients, including an upturn in natural gas and home heat ing oil prices, and maintenance and repair costs. j to UlanB; •iter of Al ess tonfera r the Russiij e that their >t to partici] ■les.

College 823 8051 University News Service Persons interested in careers in electronics will have an oppor tunity to begin training this summer during night and ex tended-day courses offered by the Institute of Electronic Sci ence, the Texas Engineering Extension Service. Courses beginning June 11 include “Introduction to DC Circuits,” “Introduction to Math for Electronics,” “Intro duction to Pulse/Digital Cir cuits” and “Introduction to Electronics for Drafting.” Each course is taught twice a week for eight weeks. Registra tion is $135 per course. A de posit of $35 must be made by June 1 to ensure enrollment, said officials. Courses will be taught at the Texas A&M Uni versity Research and Extension Service Center on Highway 21 near Bryan. The Institute of Electronic Science, operated by the Elec tronics Training Division of TEEX, has been training tech nicians for high technology in dustries since 1963. Tradition ally, students undergo 18 months of extensive training which prepares them for posi tions in electronics, with a 100 percent job placement record for graduates. The practical approach of the courses exposes persons in terested in electronics to the kind of work they would be ex pected to perform as techni cians. In addition, successful completion of courses enables a smooth transition into the regu lar 18-month program which begins in September. Admission is open to any per son with a high school diploma or equivalent. “When I Went Off to College My Dad Sure Got Smart.” He bought a Cripple Creek Condominium. Now he’s enjoying the tax advantages of ownership-he’s building equity and he’ll have prime rental property after I’ve graduated. That’s important to my dad. But, I’m interested in the amenities Cripple Creek offers-microwave ovens, automatic icemakers, large walk-in closets, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a hot tub. And Cripple Creek is located in the heart of student living, close to restaurants, shopping, clubs, banking facilities, and it’s right on the shuttle bus route. Living at Cripple Creek says that I have style and my dad has a solid investment. My college education will reap benefits for both of us. • Cripple Creek Condominums start at $39,950.

Mondale campaigned in West Virginia at Wheeling- Pittsburgh Steel. He said he helped keep the plant open by sponsoring a government loan program that Hart voted against. In Washington, Jackson met with Democratic Chairman Charles Manatt. Jackson plans to challenge party rules at the national convention in San Francisco in July, because he says party rules discriminate against poor and minority vot ers.
