When 42 students from the Insti
tution of Electronic Science grad
uate Saturday, they will continue a
20-year tradition of 100 percent job
placement.
The Institution of Electronic Sci
ence is a part of the Texas Engi
neering Extension Service.
The institution is an 18-month
training program which prepares
students for careers in electronics.
The institution was founded in 1963
by Texas Instruments which wished
to have a source of electronics grad
uates.
“We put out a graduate that’s ge
neric,” said Jim Berry, program
coordinator. “If it’s electronic, he
(the student) can work on it. He isn’t
intimidated if it’s a computer, a laser
or this or that. He hasn’t been brain
washed into a particular aspect (of
electronics).”
The program is split into three 6-
month terms. The first term is
geared toward the basics.
In the second term students take
those basics and apply them to cir
cuits. This includes putting resistors
and circuitry together and building a
power supply.
In the third term students study
the circuits as system components.
About 160 students are enrolled
and three teachers are employed by
the institution. Lecture classes have a
student-teacher ratio of 75-to-l and
labs have a 25-1 ratio.
Berry said the course study is
highly comprehensive. The 1,980
hours of study is divided into 30
hours a week for a 22-week period.
Preparatory tutoring classes are
offered for people who have identi
fiable weak shills.
The institution’s primary compe
tition is the two-year junior college,
Berry said. The institution’s courses
do not count as credit hours where a
junior college’s courses do.
“As part of the A&M system, we
either nave to be under the umbrella
of academics or be non-degree
granting,” Berry said.
The institution uses the non-de
gree plan to concentrate on the tech
nical aspect of the program.
"A junior college teaches English,
history and physical education,”
Berry said. “Those are all fine
courses but they do nothing to en
hance the technical aspect of the in
dividual.”
A junior college offers a maxi
mum of about 900 hours of technical
electives over a two-year period. The
institution’s program gives students
1,000 lab hours in applied electron
ics.
Eddie Webb, a student at the insti
tution, said, “If you want to do a lot
of homework, this is the place to be.
I do about 4 to 6 hours of homework
a night.”

AUSTIN — Attorney General
Jim Mattox ordered an assistant to
put a “hold” on bond issues pre-
E ared by the high-powered Houston
iw firm of Fulbrignt &Jaworski, the
assistant testified Thursday.
“He told me not to forward any
bond issues in the office at that time
to the (state) comptroller’s office —
those of Fulbright & Jaworski that
were in our office at that time,” said
Robert “Buddy” Lewis, the assistant
attorney general in charge of bonds
in 1983.
Mattox is charged with commer
cial bribery, a felony punishable by
up to 10 years in prison and a $5,000
fine.
He is accused of threatening Ful

unless one of the firm’s lawyers
stopped trying to question his sister,
Janice Mattox, in another case.
