AIR FORCE ALWAYS NEEDS MORE LEADERS. We're .looking for pilots .. . navigators ... missile- men .... engineers ... math majors ... people manag- ers ... doctors ... scientists ... journalists ... and more. And the Air Force ROTC program is a great way to get into a job like one of these which can help you improve your leader­ ship ability and your professional competence. As a commissioned officer in the Air Force, you can be proud of the role you play in your community and the contribution you make to your country's security. You can know that you're doing a job of importance, a job with responsibility. The Air Force ROTC program offers a way to help you achieve these goals. As an AFROTC cadet, you'll learn about leadership, management, and more. You'll learn about bene­ fits of being an officer later on, like an excellent salary, medi­ cal and dental care, housing and food allowances, and 30 days of paid vacation each year. You'll discover a whole new world open to you in the Air Force. · And you can get there through AFROTC. Look into it right away. You'll be glad you did.

... And Now For Easy Listening The Systems Division of Computer Sciences Corporation has mounted the most aggressive campus recruitment program in its history. As a consequence cif our growth, both in types as well as magnitude of contracts, the entry level opportunities.now at CSC are as numerous and diverse as an encyclopedia of communications and computers, with systems rang- ing from undersea to outer space. Intensely challenging programs underway serve almost every branch of government, and every comer of industry. Unlike other large firms which concentrate on design, development, and manufacture of computers and related hardware, CSC is entirely systems oriented. Here you will find yourself in the unique position of creating software for systems (which you will also be helping to create) out of your knowledge of customer needs, and awareness of all of the hardware available, from any and every manufacturing enti1y in the nation. Perhaps the world. From the beginning, you will enjoy the career advantages that arise out of CSC's stature as one of the largest information sciences companies in the world. But you'll soon realize the value to you as an individual of the fact that CSC is not a giant monolithic employer. Even within our fast growing Systems Division, each operation and technical team maintains its own identi1y and individuali1y. Lonnie Liston Smith is rea dy to take you on a 'Journey Into Lo ve '.

Tanya Bell, the daua.hter of Upward Bound Director Joseph Bell and of course Big Blue are a part of cheerleading. The name of the person in the big blue Bison costume was not disclosed by Johnson. A number of the cheerleaders think • this year's attitude towards and within the squad is different from last. ''I think there's a lot more en­ thusiasm this year among both the cheerleaders an~ the campus," said chee~leading captain, ln11a Johnson. She is in her second year as a cheer· leader. Sharon Pringle, the teams co­ captain, has a similar attitude. ''There seems to be a more pOsitive attitude , towards the cheerleaders this Tear," said Pringle, ''It's only 12 of U'i out there but we're there to motivate the crowd so that the team can be moti- vated." ' ''It's always important to do well," says Inga Johnson, ''I think it's im­ portant because in our support we let I the team know that some one cares, and also I think the school enjoys seeing us."
