PER YEAR IS ABOUT WHAT OUR SCHOLARSHIP IS WORTH AT CALTECH

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING MAJORS: TAKE OUT INSURANCE NOW

How about an "insurance" policy that your science or engineering degree will really be used? It would be nice. Especially considering the work you put into such a degree. The Air Force will use your talents. We have openings for young men and women majoring in selected sci­ ence and engineering academic fields ... like Aeronautical, Aerospace, General and Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Computer Technology, and many more. One way to get into these jobs is through Air Force ROTC. Our AFROTC scholarship can help you finan­ cially so you can concentrate on getting your degree. AFROTC is a great opportunity to help yourself through college, and the Air Force is a great opportunity to really use what you learn. Look into the Air Force ROTC program at your campus. It's good insurance. NOW IS THE TIME FOR SOPHOMORES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, SEE FRESHMAN TO APPLY!!! MATT CRANDALL IN LLOYD HOUSE.

HOTC Gateway to a great way of life.

The United States Air Force is seeking technical majors to become second lieutenants and fill positions in specific career fields. The Air Force has obvious benefits, such as a starting salary of approximately $19,000 per year and rises to approximately $33,000 per year after just four years of service, responsible positions normally reached after several years out of college, and experience in technical positions is given rather than expecting it. The Air Force has less obvious benefits, such as our graduate education programs. Come in to talk to us and see what the Air Force ROTC program can do for you. Call Captain Todd Ganos at 213-743-2670. He is on campus Mondays from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the Lloyd House dining room. Or visit him at USC in PED-11SA. 6..,.THE CALIFORNIA TECH I FRIDAY 15 MARCH 1985 Admirable Ars Amore by Charles Barrett Admiral "rom page 3 Gayler envisions a depot, perhaps in the North Atlantic, where the superpowers would bring their missiles.
