SHAPE
THE FUTURE
OF ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY
It is a tall order. Yet, it is a challenge that must be met. Our
future as an industrial society depends on our ability to
find more efficient ways to use our limited fuel resources.
At Fluor, we are working hard to find the answers.
For over 60 years, we have helped the energy industries
by designing and building modern refining,
petrochemical, chemical and natural gas facilities. During
that time, Fluor engineers have been in the forefront of
energy related technology.
At present, we are applying new methodology in the
extraction of oil from tar sands and shale, coal
gasification and the refining of high sulphur feedstocks.
This is a challenging, exciting time for engineers who are
interested involving complex problems.
Graduates with a degree in Chemical, Electrical,
Mechanical, or Civil Engineering or Computer Sciences
are invited to help us shape the future of energy
technology. For complete career information, talk to our
campus recruiter or write to:

Laurentia,
When we're apart and you feel
alone, think of me as if I'm there.
For though you think I'm a
thousand miles away, I'm not. I am
where my heart is, and that will
always be with you.
Happy (belated) Valentine's
Day. Love,
Randall.

Dr. De Bremaecker is quite
right. Vice-President George Bush
would make a terrible commence-
ment speaker. Instead, I make this
proposal: Let us invite Fidel
Castro. The Premier of the
People's Republic of Cuba. There
are several advanteges to this
proposal:
1) His political views are much
mbre in agreement with the vast
majority of the Rice student body
and faculty, which would result in
only a few pickets, mainly by
malcontents compaining about
their relatives being killed or
something.
2) General Castro is much more
knowledgeable about human
rights thap Vice-President Bush.
After all, it is his government along
with help from his good friends
and bosses in Russia, which have
supplied men and arms to the
valiant and oppressed workers of
El Salvador, Nicaragua, Zaire,
Angola and Ethiopia so as to
throw off the chains of capitalistic
oppression in the manner advocated
by the Marsixts: violent and
bloody revellion. Such idealism is
commendable.
3) The Premier's views on
education are much more
enlightened than Bush's
Recognizing the dangers inherent
in private schools, he only permits
public schools to exist, where in a
completely non-discriminatory
fashion, he teaches the essential
truth that man does not live by
bread alone, but by every word
that falls from the mouth of.Lenin,
Marx, Stalin and Castro.
4) Castro understands
economics better than Bush.
Instead of taxing the poor more
than the rich, he simply creates a
burdensome tax for everyone,
making everyone poor, as 100,000
of; Miami's newer residents can
testify. This essential quality of all
is one of the treasured beliefs of
much of the Rice community.
In essence, why should we
invite a man who represents old
ideals such as liberty, justice and
truth, when we would have a man
that represents equality, brother-
hood, peace and equality in all the
lands, and then work for the good
of the community, work long and
hard for the benefit of all, for on
the next day you shall surely die.
