V GRADUATING ENGINEERS ^ x You can't believe everything you read. Including this ad. Or any other that attempts to sell you on a potential employer in 200 words or less. Because selecting an employer requires significantly more information than choosing a toothpaste. The type of information that can only be gleaned from conversation with an insider - someone who can readily provide factual answers to hard questions. Undoubtedly you'll want to ask about training. For without ongoing career development, your degree isn’t worth the paper its printed on. Thats why NL McCullough places such a premium on continuing education, both in the field and at our $25 million Career Development Center in Houston. Because we recognize its importance to our people. And its role in making us one of the leaders in oilfield cased and open hole logging, perforating and pipe recovery. But don’t believe everything you read. Talk to the NL McCullough representative interviewing Mechanical and Electrical Engineers at Texas A&M on February 4.

An Equal Opportunity Employer Page 12/The BattalionAVednesday, January 30,1985 White House breached by intruder Associated Press ft WASHINGTON — A man who said he just wanted to see President Reagan inaugurated penetrated elaborate Secret Service screening rocedures by accompanying the arine Band into the White House on Jan. 20 and roamed the executive mansion for about 15 minutes be fore he was arrested. White House and Secret Service spokesmen said Tuesday the presi- cfent was not in the building at the time. “It was a mistake,” said presi dential spokesman Larry Speakes, who confirmed details of the inci dent only after an account of the in truder’s escapade was published by the Rocky Mountain News. In defending his withholding of information aoout the incident, Speakes also disclosed another case in which he said a man armed with a pistol slipped into a restricted “pool” of reporters and photographers ac companying Reagan to a high school speech site in Fairbanks, Alaska, on the president’s return from China in May. The spokesman refused to di vulge details of the incident. Secret Service agent Jack Taylor said later, however, the armed man was a bush pilot who agents later de termined was innocently engulfed by the traveling entourage. T he White House intruder was identified as Robert Latta, 45, of Denver, who told The Associated Press, “I was just going in to see the ceremony.” “I just walked in with the band," Latta said in an interview following his return to Denver after spending five days in jail on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful entry. He has been released on $1,000 oond pen ding a hearing in District of Colum bia Superior Court in March. In the nearly four years since Rea gan was shot and seriously wounded in an assassination attempt, security measures have been tightened. But Latta, who said he came to Washington for the inaugural festi vities, was never stopped when he appeared at the East Gate of the White House and mingled with 33 members of the elite Marine Corps orchestra that was to play for the small, invitation-only swearing-in ceremony. Latta, wearing a suit and carrying a hag, simply walked in with the uni formed band members, left his bag with the instruments and followed them upstairs. Neither the Marine officer, the band members them selves nor the White House guards from the uniformed division of the Secret Service questioned Latta’s presence, Speakes said. Although official accounts vary, a White House usher spotted the un familiar figure and notified chief White House usher Rex Scouten, who summoned White House guards. At 10:11 a.m. — about 14 minutes after he entered the man sion, Latta was approached by a guard in the imposing Cross Hall just outside the Blue Room and a few paces from the landing of the Grand Staircase where Reagan was to be sworn in just before noon. Slouch By Jim Ear ‘You REALLY intend to hijack this elevator?’ Weinberger says cuts hurt defense Associated Press WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger,gii .6 fv fight with Congress, said Tuesday fhe Pentagon cannot sustillL if the United States is to successfully negotiatean p*Soviet Union. for a Ion additional budget cuts clear arms agreement with the Soviet Union. In a wide-ranging interview with wire service reporters, Weinbergeri fended the Reagan administration’s emphasis on conducting militaryesr cises in Central America and said military aid to U.S. allies is an essenG 1 way of "protecting ourselves." Weinberger made a speech in defense of his agency’s budget Monil| night on Cable News Network — an unusual thing for a cabinet membti:; do. In that speech, he said it would be “impossible to gain’’ an arms com agreement with the Soviets “if we falter now in our commitment stronger defense.” The Soviet Union, he told reporters, continues to spend much than the United States on new weapons. If the United States does not ernize its own defenses to serve as a deterrent, not only does it leaveil open to attack but it loses any hope of negotiating an arms coni agreement. “I have to say that we have made a major contribution," Weinbei said, noting the fiscal 1986 proposal was substantially below the proj made by the president just a year ago and even below the target accepted Congress last fall. Turning to Central America, Weinberger said he considered it jusi essential for the U.S. to conduct military exercises in that region is itir conduct exercises with North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies in hiw\ On the subject of military secrecy, Weinberger said he didn't think criticism of the Washington Post last month for writing about a secret satellite carried into space by the shuttle was too harsh. But healsoagri that little was accomplished by the Air Force holding a press briefing belt the shuttle mission to warn about disclosures. Nuclear Regulatory group | names troublesome plants Associated Press WASHINGTON — Atomic power plants in Ohio, California, New Jersey and Alabama top gov ernment regulators’ short list of the most worrisome of the more than 80 operating nuclear power reactors in the country. The informal list was discussed Tuesday before the Nuclear Regula tory Commission by the administra tors of the agency’s five regional of fices in charge of assuring that the plants are built and opereted safely. While the evaluations were some what subjective, the Davis Besse plant in Ohio, Rancho Seco in Cali fornia, Salem in New Jersey and the three-reactor Browns Ferry plant in Alabama clearly emerged as the NRC rc ' re gu la- most troublesome to tors. Also coming under criticism were the Nine Mile Point plant in New York, Beaver Valley in Pennsylva nia, Maine Yankee, Wolf Creek in Kansas and the San Onofre plant in California. And while the officials said the owners of all nine facilities are tak ing steps to improve their perfor mance, they noted that the progress is sometimes “painfully slow.” The regional officials based their judgments partially on each plant’s safety record, various personnel and equipment problems, enforcement actions and emergency shutdowns as well as yearly “systematic assessing of licensee performance” reports But those are “formal" crii® that can be quantified to somei\i gree.
