GO FROM COLLEGE TO THE ARMY
WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT.
The hardest thing about break
ing into professional
music is —well, break
ing into professional
music. So if you’re
lex Ting for an oppor
tunity to turn your
musical talent into
a full-time perform
ing career, take a
good look at the
Army.
It’s not
all parades
and John Philip
Sousa. Army
bands rock,
waltz and boogie
as well as march,
and they perform
before concert au
diences as well
as spectators.
With an average
of 40 performances a month, there’s
also the opportunity for travel —
not only across America, but possibly
abroad.
Most important, you can
expect a first-rate pro
fessional environment
from your instructors,
facilities and fellow
musicians. The Army
has educational
programs that
can help you
pay for off-
duty instruc-
tion, and if
you qual
ify, even
t help you
repay
your
federally-insured
student loans.
If you can sight-
read music, performing in the Army
could be your big break. Write:

“I’ve got a
terrible secret.
If they only knew
what I go through
to stay thin.”
When the extreme fear of being
overweight becomes obsessive, it
leads to unusual and harmful
eating practices.
Anorexia and Bulimia are eating dis
orders which are becoming more
prevalent. Anorexia, the excessive
pursuit at thinness, can result in mal
nutrition, low blood pressure, loss at
hair irrational thinking and even
death Bulimia, compulsive eating
binges followed by the purging of
tood, can lead to severe dental
problems, kidney failure or cardiac
arrest
Warning Signals may vary, but
often include:
□ The secret tear of becoming
fat
□ Feeling out of control around
tood
□ Binging on huqe quantities of
food and then purging, by
vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics
□ Feeling irritable, depressed
and self-conscious
□ Extreme dieting and exercise
Greenleaf’s ABLE Program (An
orexia and Bulimia Learning
Experience) can help you regain
control of your life The 4-week
program is being ottered December

Geophysicists
from A&M test
salt-mine radai
By Sondra McCarty
Repxjrter
Texas A&M has tested a new' ra
dar system that allows miners to see
through rock when mining for salt.
The successful testing of the Bravo
system took place in the Borth Mine
in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Dr. Robert Unterberger, profes
sor of geophysics at A&M, and two
graduate students in geophysics,
John Mims and Michael Thornton,
were invited to Germany by the Sol-
vay Co., a Belgian salt mining com
pany.
Mims said they were asked last
year to visit Germany by Solvay,
which owns the Borth Mine, because
it was interested in their research.
Unterberger started the research
in the late 1960s, Mims said, when
the company he worked for wanted
a tool to find salt domes while dril
ling for oil.
Unterberger said safety is the key
reason for the research. With the
tool, he said, someone mining to
ward a cavity of water can see ahead
to prevent any disasters.
Another reason for this research
is in planning, he said. Impurities in
the salt can be found, then mined
around, he said.
Mims explains, “One reason we
use the system is we wanted to find
out with radar where there is anhy
drite, a mineral commonly found in
rock salt which has no value.”
Thornton explains how the Bravo
system works.
“There are three different sys
tems. There is Bravo, which is long
wave; Charlie, w'hich is medium
wave; and Foxtrot, which is micro-
wave. Long waves see big particles or
impurities and short waves see small
ones,” Thornton said.
The Bravo system works on
megahertz, which is the frequenoi
the carrier beam. This is extremt
considering the electrical wiringim
house is 60 hertz.
A change in the kind of rochi
give rise to reflections, he said.
“Ultimately, we will wanttois
the reflections and compare themit
the geology of the salt mines,
said. “A good system will taketliett
flections and process them to seen
actly what’s there.”
Thornton said Bravo is
from B-17 bomber parts.
“Actually, this was its secondtif
to Germany,” he said.
Mims said Germany has a
system, but the radar transmits ini
directions. The Bravo system hasi
beam of 24 degrees instead
degrees, he said.
Funding for the research
from several companies that owns*
mines.
Unterberger said, “We re®
funding from several people «1
own salt mines in the United Sta®
one in Canada and one in Belgium
“It probably cost
build, but we insured it for$60,0$
Mims said Solvay paid for all3'
penses on the trip, includingtn®
portation, room and board.
Thornton said, “We got g
suits, but they weren’t what we a
peeled. It could take years to ^
what we want — we have a lotlell 1
do.”
Unterberger said, “We gt
results. We can see through aW
600 meters, or 2,000 feet. We" 1 *
to see up to 2 kilometers.
“I want to see the research^
for the benefit of civilization.”
Pennzoil committee
to monitor procedures
NEW YORK (AP) — Representa
tives of Pennzoil Co. and Tenneco
Inc. have been chosen co-chairmen
of one creditors’ committee monitor
ing the bankruptcy proceedings of
Texaco Inc., while a Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. executive will
head the other.
Members of the two committees
— one made up of seven oil compa
nies, the other of 19 banks, general
trade creditors and a union — were
named Monday by U.S. Trustee
Harry Jones. They selected their
leaders in organizational meetings
Tuesday.
Pennzoil had said Monday that it
wanted to chair or co-chair the oil
company committee, in liglit of the
fact that it is by far Texaco’s largest
creditor.
The Houston-based company was
holding a $10.35 billion judgment
against Texaco on April 12, when
Texaco filed for protection under
federal bankruptcy laws. Texaco of
ficials estimated Texaco’s
lilies at $15 billion.
In November 1985, a jury
that Texaco had wrongly interim
with a merger agreement bet" 411
Pennzoil and Getty OilCo. anc’
acquired Getty itself. It aw
Pennzoil $10.53 billion in daina?*
an amount later upheld by a jud? 1
who added interest, but which^
subsequently reduced on aoD^
$2 billion.
Jones said Monday hewassert
up two committees, instead of 1 ' 1
more customary one, to helf
case “proceed in a smooth am
derly fashion.”
He said he hoped the move"
help the creditors concentrate
substantive issues, such as „
the creditors paid and presefl"
stockholders’ value.
Creditors and others,
Texaco attorney Harvey Miller,l* 1
erally applauded the establish®"
of the separate oil-industryco®® 1
tee.
