The Minnesota Alumni Association, 205 Coffman Union, Un Iversity of Minnesota, Minneapolis ACHIEVER If you called this General Motors development engineer "moon-struck," he'd probably agree with you. For he's a member of the team whose objective is to put a man on the moon by 1970. Together with several hundred other engineers, scientists and technicians, he is contributing to the development, fabrication, assembly, integration and testing of the guidance and navigation system for the Apollo spacecraft. His mind is literally on the moon-and how to get three men there and back safely. Educationally, he is highly qualified, but fast-changing technology requires his constant study. If he does not have two degrees already, chances are that he is working on a second right now under GM's tuition refund plan. Throughout General Motors there are hundreds of professionals like him working on projects relating to our nation's space and defense programs. Like their counterparts who are developing commercial products, they are dedicated General Motors people.

[ R H 1965 3 We dug and refilled a 4000-mile trench to protect 9300 communications circuits against disaster We split the continent with a trench four feet deep to give the United States its first blast-resistant coast-to-coast underground communications cable system. More than four years ago when the first of 2500 giant reels of coaxial cable started unrolling in New York State, we began an important project that wi ll give added pro­ tection to the nation's vital communications. Today, 9300 circuits-available for voice, data, teletypewriter, telephoto-are i ncl uded on this route. It stretches across 19 states and has 950 buried reinforced concrete re­ peater (or amplifying) stations. Spotted strategically along the route about 50 feet be low ground leve l are 11 manned test centers. Also of rei nforced concrete, they have automatic air fi ltration and ventila­ tion and li vin g quarters stocked with emer­ gency food and water. This vital transcontinental link wi ll serve the needs of government agencies, busi­ nesses and individuals. This is a job that needed the Bell System's unified research, manufacturing and oper­ ating capabi liti es.

Correspond to: President Ronald Reagan. The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Washington, DC 20500. MESSAGE: The 20 percent reduction in education funds represents an unacceptable withdrawal of the federal commitment to the education of exceptional children. In fact, such a reduction to P.L. 94-142 would result in a figure Jess than 10 percent of the national average per pupil expenditure (NAPPE) when Congress is authorized to pay 40 percent of the NAPPE.

Campbell, Committee Member Gus Seligmann, Committee Member John S. Gossett, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Bridges, Kenneth William. The Twilight of the Texas Democrats: The 1978 Governor‘s Race. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2003, 278 pp., references, 155 titles. This dissertation examines the results and strategies used in the 1978 Texas gubernatorial election to determine what issues, demographics, and campaign strategies led the Republican Party nominee, Dallas businessman Bill Clements, to defeat the Democratic nominee, Attorney General John Hill, to break the 105-year old Democratic lock on the governorship and how this victory affected the evolution of Texas into a two-party state.
