Ill tfn 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 stroyer through the strait under diiion One Alpha.

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.” Sigma Chi Experience the difference Wed. Sept. 7 ★ Fri. Sept. 9 6:00 p.m. Pizza Party at Mr. Gatti’s Sun.
