request the same, Often, the land-
lord has’ an apartment for the
white couple, but tells the Negro
couple he has no vacancy. If so,
CORE reports his apartment build-

the landlord to meet their require-

A fourth project which concerned
nearly all of the members of Down-
town CORE this summer was the
*¢Mississippi Project.’’ This pro-
ject received an amazingly good
response from the neighborhood,
‘Because Michael Schwerner, one
of the three civil rights workers
’ killed in Mississippi early in the
summer, was a member. of Down-
town CORE and active in the com-
munity, many people were per-*
sonally dedicated to this project.
When the project was in full oper-
ation, members were able to col-.
lect around $1,000 a week for
Mississippi. Chapter members
have already driven two truck-
loads of food and clothing to Meri-
dian, running considerable per-
sonal risk. "

Let us clarify what we mean by:a ‘‘uniquely rewarding career.’ If you agree with our definition,
. then perhaps you should see your College Placement Officer to learn more about the National
Security Agency and the Professional Qualification Test to be given. Saturday, October 24th.
(Passing this test does not commit you in any way, but you, must pass it first in order to schedule
‘an on-campus interview with NSA apres )
*.
First of all, whatever your major interest—
‘finance & accounting, personnel or business
». administration, data systems programming
languages or linguistic research—you can make
use of your college-acquired capabilities with
the National. Security Agency, -headquarters
for secure communications research and devel-
opment . . . unusual design refinements in com-
puter & edp systems... . cryptologic and related
techniques. Your professional growth‘and earn-
ing power expand from the day you join us,
without having to wait for years of *“‘experience.”
Then, too, you will engage in study and
‘research that will take you well. beyond known
and accepted boundaries of knowledge. Al-
though NSA is a key reséarch activity within
the Department of Defense, it has influence and
responsibility of far greater scope ... and in-
tellectual associations with leading institutions,
laboratories, agencies and consultants. The art

and science of secure communications in. all its
ramifications .is utterly without precedent or
restriction, and involves programs. of. national ~
importance.
PROGRAMS OF NATIONAL IMPOR-
TANCE—a thought worth repeating. For
what it may be worth to you personally, you'll
realize an extra measure of satisfaction from
your NSA work, knowing that the results may
benefit a lot of people.
In this regard, you'll find, too, that the NSA
interchange-of-information leads easily and
naturally to a maximum extension of your-in-
dividual capabilities. You'll find yourself work-
ing with people from an. amazing range of
intellectual sectors—philosophy, psychology,
history, international affairs, English, art and
music... over 500 of whom have advanced
degrees—in a near-academic environment.

ree Scientists and
Your BA degree makes you eligible to start at
$6,050... with regular increases as well. as
excellent promotion possibilities in your field.
As a Federal employee, you are entitled to a
number of meaningful benefits—including 13
working days’ leave the first year. NSA also
offers: both aid and encouragement in your
pursuit of advance. degree education at nearby
universities (Maryland and Johns Hopkins in
particular are nearby). 7
~ One further advantage is NSA’s location. ...
midway between Washington and Baltimore in _.
an area of fast-growing business, industry, and
research expansion. Take your pick of in-town, -
suburban, or rural living—and enjoy the prox-
imity to the Chesapeake Bay and ocean resort
region.
If you agree-act now.
If you are interested in an NSA career,
you must apply for the Professional
ification Test NO LATER THAN. WED-
NESDAY, OCTOBER 14th. Your College
