While some students partied on
the beach this summer, some mem
bers of the Corps of Cadets spent the
summer on active duty with the
Navy.
Six senior cadets in the Navy Col
lege Program and on U.S. Navy
scholarships traveled to points
around the world, including Japan,
the Philippines, Singapore and San
Diego.
The cadets applied for third class
Navy cruises and served as enlisted
men. Each man was assigned as a
first class petty officer, a cadet
trained to handle the jobs his offi
cers perform.
Every day, the cadets were drilled
in simulations of almost any situa
tion they might find themselves in
during duty. Simulations included
training to handle an enemy missile
attack.
The cadets performed as if the at
tack were real, except that they did
not fire back.
Bob Gordon, a political science
major, spent three weeks in the Ca
ribbean on a search and seizure mis
sion. His duties included driving the
ship and looking for contacts. He
had to stop the ship the first time he
drove so the crew could search a
small fishing boat for drugs.
Gordon’s ship made 26 boardings
onto suspected drug trafficking
ships in three weeks. Most ships
were free of drugs, he said.
One night, the Coast Guard called
about a broken ship carrying 9,000
pounds of marijuana. Gordon was
driving the ship when the call came
in.
When Gordon’s ship arrived, the
crew of the drug boat were throwing
the drugs and themselves over
board.
“We spent the whole night fishing
marijuana and people out of the wa
ter,” he said. “They had guns they
could have used on us — we were
just lucky they didn’t.”
Juan M. Basombrio, a biochemis
try major, went to Colombia for two
months to examine its navy and
learn about the culture.
Basombrio was one of fifty mid
shipmen to visit a foreign country
this year. He was welcomed by the
Admiral of the Colombian navy and
given an official passport. Because
of the guerrilla warfare there, Ba
sombrio was assigned a bodyguard.
Of the 61 days he was in Colom
bia, he spent 20 aboard ships. He
spent most of his time visiting cities
and learning the about the country.
He began his cultural adjustment in
Bogota, the capital city.
“Later, we traveled to the main
port in Buenaventura,” he said. "It
was the poorest in South America. It
was a prime example of a Third
World country.”
His trip was not all sightseeing,
however. “I was also on an old
World War II boat,” Basombrio said.
“Half the ship got seasick because it
rocked so much.
“It rains everyday down there,
making navigation difficult. The vis
ibility was so poor, everything was
done by radar.”
Cliffs, 30-35 feet high, border the
entire coastline of Buenaventura,
making it impossible to reach except
by boat.
Basombrio was in a small boat
when a storm hit.
“We were hit by waves eight feet
high,” he said. “Each one pushed us
closer toward the cliffs, but our
driver was able to steer us away.
“Another time, 1 was on an oxer-
loaded plane. We couldn’t get up in
the air and had to stop about 100
meters from the end of the runway,
just short of power lines and the
edge of a cliff!”
Basombrio was seen as a diplomat,
and was given full access to the Co
lombian navy and also was allowed
to visit the president’s mansion.
“It was special because I was al
lowed inside,” he said. “Not every
one gets to do that. Security was also
tight because of the guerillas."
Matt Case, a marketing major, was
stationed in San Diego for four
weeks, where he served as an assis
tant communications officer under
instruction. He performed the same
duties as a commissioned ensign.
“The cruises we take are very mo
tivational,” Case said. “They allow us
the opportunity to apply what we’ve
learned through the Corps.”
His duties included making s|>ot
checks of equipment — disassem
bling and cleaning it and putting the
equipment back together.
While the ship was under way, he
stood bridge watches. As junior offi
cer of the deck, Case had to watch
for other ships and change direction
when necessary to avoid collisions.
One cadet spent part of his cruise
in the Persian Gulf. Scott Swords, a
civil engineering major, was on a
ship positioned in the mouth of the
Strait of Hormuz. The crew’s job was
to identify planes as “friendorf*
His ship had to guide a missilt

the
Representatives: Careers
for bankers look positive
By Fiona Soltes
Staff Writer
Future careers in banking look
positive, representatives of seven
Texas banks told a group of around
100 students during Thursday’s
Bank Career Day.
“Looking forward, Texas will add
more than 3 million jobs over the
next 20 years,” said Don Hawk, ex
ecutive vice president of Texas Com
merce Bancshares/Chemical Bank in
Houston. “That’s nearly 50 percent
more than exist today.
“Ten years ago, I said banking
was the last industry 1 would want to
be a part of,” Hawk said. “Today, I
wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”
Hawk’s address, “The Exciting
Opportunities in Banking Today,”
preceded a panel discussion with
Chuck Simpson of MBank in Austin;
Charlotte Marvin of NCNB Texas
National Bank in Austin; Nancy
Vandiver of First Interstate Bank in
Houston; and Mervin Peters of First
City Bank of Bryan. Topics ranged
from getting a good first job to per
spectives of 25 years in banking.
Hawk said the next few years look
good for those entering the banking
field.
“Organizations which are growing
rapidly or industries that are under
going substantial change offer the
best opportunities for jobs.
“When you add this to the vi
brancy of the Texas economy, excit
ing opportunities exist because you
will be getting in on the ground floor
of the next boom.”
Vandiver agrees. “Banking has
changed a lot recently, especially in
adapting to accommodate a more in
formed customer. Adaptation
means expansion, and as services ex
pand, so do opportunities."
Although the group agreed I
the opportunities are available,::I
disagreed on the importance I
work experience when findinil
good first job.
Simpson said experience is i
most important asset a studenul
have.
“Internships are fantastic forii|
purpose,” he said. “Most corpl
tions feel they should hireintemsl
the student should go aheadandii
proach the institution they hope I
work for.”
Peters said that even though eel
rince helps, most tasks can I
learned on-the-job.
“Students shouldn’t feel thau : |
experience will make or breaktlw
chances in the business world. Ill
however, helpf ul in deciding r|
correct career.”
