Foreign Students Make
Rice 'Small-Sized UN'
Wfiy did you come to Rice?
This is the question that has been
asked many, many times by al-

Perhaps it might be asked with
great interest of the seventeen

countries.

Mexico come Angela Jones, sen-
ior language major, and George
Abdo, junior math major. Two
students, Tony David Watkins
and Keith Allen Richardson, come
from our northern neighbor, Can-
ada.
From Greece comes George N.
Ziogas, Constantine D. Michal-
opoulos, and Aristides Demetrius
Charalampous. Hosain Mahdi Al-
Hassani hails from Iraq.
John Michael Willatt repre-
sents jolly ol' England on the
campus, while from the continent
come Jaques Kagan and Ranier
Kogan from France.

Denmark and is a pre-med major.

ology graduate from Scotland.

He puts communications on the go
Martin Jepson, E.E., Purdue, '53,
is an Engineer in the Radio and
Special Services Section of Illinois
Bell Telephone Company.
"I help design mobile radiotele-
phone systems," says Martin. "We
have a wide variety of customers,
including trucking firms, railroads
and marine traffic of all kinds. Many
businessmen, too, want these systems
for their private cars. Each customer
has his own communications prob-
lems, and these are a constant and
stimulating engineering challenge.
"Another part of my job is to help
set up facilities for conventions,
sports events and the like. Last sum-
mer's Democratic National Conven-
tion, for instance, used enough
circuits and facilities to serve a small
city. There were special circuits for
broadcasting, teletypewriters, the
press, and for inside communica-
tions. It was our job to set those
facilities up and keep them operating.
"The increase in demand for tele-
phone and related services is phe-
nomenal. It's this growth that's
creating real career opportunities in
the telephone business. Add to this
the fact that it's a stable business,
and you've -really got something!"
Martin Jepson is one of many young men who
are finding interesting careers in Bell Tele-
phone Companies, and also in Bell Telephone
•Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Cor*
poration. See your placement officer for more
information about Bell System Companies*
