Carl Isgren, Mary Woodson and

Girls Wanted
It was practically an all-male
crowd at the Student Center for
the jam session Sunday evening.
Gene Swilley's combo started out
with Brubeck-type music, then
John Fowler's group took over
with Dixieland swing. Pat Woods
and David Rosenberg entertained
the crowd with their version of
the Charleston. Sally Terrell,
Puddy Peterson, Roland Jackson,
and Jim Fox were among the
dancers. The boys were disap-
pointed to see so few girls come.

cations and Missile systems — the use of com-
puters and computer technology is widespread.

with Western Electric are promising indeed.

corresponding opportunities for career build-
ing within research and engineering. Progress
is as rapid as your own individual skills permit.,

ing and tuition refund plans to help you move
