the type of programs that this
chapter of NSBE produces," said
Price in a speech concerning the
development of the fair.
"Although the president had to
leave early, he asked me to express
for him that he was impressed with
the program also.
"So many times this chapter of
NSBE comes to me with ideas that I
would be a little hesitant of; but they
have done a fine job.
“In terms of productivity, this
chapter of NSBE ranks third, with
Texas A&M ranking second and the
University of Texas at Austin rank-
ing first.
"I see a time in the near future
when they will rank second. And the
day is not far off when this chapter
will rank first.
“They do take their academic
work seriously; and they do it with
honor.”
‘ ‘I would like to remind all of those
in attendance tonight,’’ Price said to
students in in closing comments,
“there is no reason to just be
average. There is no reason just to
be good enough; you can be better."
The following day NSBE’s actual
Career Fair got underway.
The seven companies and the City
of Beaumont set up stations with
distributive information available
for students.
Estimates indicate that more than
250 students participated in the fair,
said William Wilson, NSBE presi-
dent.
The idea to sponsor a career fair
came into being last year, said
Brown.
“We originally started planning
for this program last September,”
she said. “We proposed the idea to
other colleges within the university,
but some of them were a little skep-
tical.
“I believe now, though, judging
from this year’s turnout, if we spon-
sor another one next year, there will
be more participation.
“I am very pleased with the
amount of students who are coming
in to participate,” Brown said.
Some students also expressed
satisfaction with the Career Fair.
“I think that it is great,” said
Tracy Tuttle, a Houston graduate.
“We did not have to go to the com-
panies. It has been very helpful.”
“I think that the NSBE has done
an outstanding job,” said Frank
VanRensselaer, a Beaumont senior.
“The companies are great; this is
very impressive.”
“I am pleased with the turnout,”
Price, who was also in attendance at
the fair, said. “I think they have
done a wonderful thing, a commen-
dable job.
“I hope that the youngsters here
today will make meaningful con-
tacts with prospective employers
and see the need to continue to excel
in academic excellence.”
Company representatives also
commented on how they felt about
the programming of the fair and
whether they would return in the
future.
“I am impressed with the quality
of the students and with the number
of students who have come out,”
said Polk.
“As an alumnus of Lamar, I can
say that NSBE has done very well
scheduling and developing this pro-
gram.”
“I am suprised at how good it is,”
said James Solari of Amoco Oil. “We
were not expecting this many peo-
ple. We will return anytime the
NSBE wants to schedule another
one. They have done an excellent
job.”
“I am real impressed,” said Joe
Coco of Mobil Oil. “I have seen a lot
of quality students, and generally we
have a lot of success with Lamar
students.
“There are a lot of high-caliber
people here, and the good thing
about this is that Lamar is in our
own backyard.
“We will come out whenever
another fair is held.”
“It has been a fantastic turnout,”
said J.P. Colbert of the City of Beau-
mont. “I am very impressed
because Lamar did not have an
NSBE when I attended school here.
“The students seem very profes-
sional and ready to go to work.”
Colbert, now a city engineer,
graduated from Lamar in 1978.
As to whether the NSBE will be
sponsoring a Career Fair next year,
Brown said that would depend on the
success of this year’s fair.
“It has been a lot of hard work,”
Brown said. “This year it has been
strictly NSBE putting the program
together. But if we do hold another
one, any and all outside help will be
welcomed and appreciated.”
The only regrets concerning the
fair seemed to be that adminstrators
did not attend.
“The engineering program is sup-
ported by these companies,” said Ir-
ving Brown, vice president of NSBE,
“and they donate thousands of
dollars to this department ever year.
Someone could have come out today
to show appreciation.
“Also, the administration see a lot
of negatives concerning black
students, but they do not come out to
also see the positive aspects.
“They could have learned a lot
from being here.”

SOMETIMES IT TAKES
AN ARMY TO PAY BACK YOUR
COLLEGE LOAN.
Paying back your college loan
can be a long, uphill battle. But the
Army’s Loan Repayment Program
makes it easy.
Each year you serve as a soldier,
the Army will reduce your college
debt Dy V? or $1,500, whichever
amount is greater. So after serving just
3 years, your college loan will be com-
pletely paid off.
^tou’re eligible for this program
with a National Direct Student Loan
or a Guaranteed Student Loan or a
Federally Insured Student Loan made
after October 1,1975. And the loan
can’t be in default.
And just because you’ve left col-
lege, don’t think you’ll stop learning
in the Army. Our skill training offers
a wealth of valuable high-tech, career-
oriented skills. Call your local Army
Recruiter to find out more.
