Sales tax reected in Wichita
WICHTA-'Voters' rejection of a half-cent sales tax Tuesday means Wichta policemen are firefighters to be warymonth to get pay raises unless they stay by state law.
Under the settlement, they would have received an additional 3 percent pay raise Jan. 1 if the citywide sales tax were approved.
But with its rejection by a 2 to 1 margin, the raise will not be effective until Sept. 1, 1979 and must be financed by a cutback in other city services.

We can't do it without you. can types Interser
The Systems Division of Computer Sciences Corporation has mounted the most aggressive campus recruitment program in its history.
As a consequence of our growth, both in types as well as magnitude of contracts, the
entry level opportunities now are as numerous and diverse as an encyclopedia of communications and computers, with systems ranging from undersea to outer space.
Intensely challenging programs underway serve almost every branch of government, and every corner 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 entity 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 identity and individuality.
So you will enjoy greater visibility for all the good things you do.
Starting in Year Number One.
If your degree is in EE, Computer Sciences, or their equivalent, we'd like to introduce you to people very much like yourself who have helped make CSC the industry leader in software and computer-based systems.
We couldn't have gotten there without them...and we can't stay there without you.
We'll be interviewing on campus Friday, November 10th.
See your College Placement Office for details, or write Chris Pappas, Employment Manager.
