Military increases financing for education
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department now has the most attractive program of educational benefits inside and outside the uniformed services ever offered to young American men and women.
and the benefits differ according to the branch of service, but all provide scholarships, financial help for attending prep school or college and the opportunity to attend specialized courses or one of the service academies.
SERVICE ACADEMIES are fully accredited, degree-granting institutions with the mission of preparing men and women for careers as military officers. All tuition, room and board and medical expenses are paid by the government.

They also provide nine-month courses in preparatory schools to strengthen a student's background in mathematics, English and science as a foundation for entrance into one of the universities or for making up lost credits.

Good friends will help you study angles when all you can think about is curves.
It didn't take a genius to tell your mind wasn't on your studies. But it did take a couple of smart roomies to do something about it. So out came the calculators. And the doughnuts. And they started drilling you until you knew physics as well as you know yourself.
When it was all over, you showed them that there was one more thing you knew something about-gratitude. Tonight, let it be Löwenbräu.
Löwenbräu. Here's to good friends.

"We built our business on a simple idea: more for less." GEORGE MONROY
$1590 is the total retail price of the complete Microsoft "Decision" System you see in the ad. And that includes the computer with a disk drive, full size smart terminal, and over $2200 worth of software (including word processing, an electronic spreadsheet, a way
to check spelling and more). No other business computer available today offers so much for so little (in a comparable *system* costs almost twice as much).
