Show Page Seven The Daily Utah Chronicle, Thursday, January 19, 1978 Intercollegiate ski meet this weekend by LIZ GARDNER Chronicle staff The West's top seven ski teams will be featured this weekend in the 1978 Utah Winter Ski Carnival. Bein the first intercollegiate ski meet of the season, competition should be tough in both Alpine and Nordica action. The races will be held at Park City, Alta and Mountain Dell Gold Course on Saturday and Sunday. Joining the Utes in the meet willl be six Rocky Mountian region schools, including Colorado, the defending NCAA champion, Wyoming, Montana, Montana State, Nevada-Ren- o and Western State. "From this meet you can form a basis for who's going to be the top team in the region; competitors will be the best in the nation, collegiately," said Ute head ski coach Pat Miller. In the Alpine category where 55 skiers will compete. Giant Slalom races will commence at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The important difference between Slalom and Giant Slalom skiing, as Coach Miller pointed out, is that the gates are set closer together (about 16 feet apart) in Slalom, making Giant Slalom more "controlled downhill." He said it depends on the skier's ability as to which type of skiing presents more difficulty. Wyoming should be the favorite in the meet, because both Colorado and Utah are without some of their best skiers, said Miller. The Buffs will be missing their jumpers who are all in Norway, while the Utes will go into the meet without John Higgins and Steve Bounous, who will be competing in the East at the North American Trophy series. A heavy favorite in the slalom will be Colorado's Stephan Hainzsch who won the NCAA championship in both the Slalom and Giant Slalom last season. The Cowboys also feature another great skier in Alpine ace Ross Houston. "Colorado and Wyoming have had top collegiate finishes in the last six divisional races we've been to," Miller said. At the last team meet, the Utes places second behind the University of Colorado and tied with the University of Wyoming. "We're expecting excellent results from Steve Bounous, Bjorn Bjornstad, Jon W. Quitiquit and John Donner," said Miller. Nordica events will commence on Saturday at 3 p.m. with cross country race at Mountain Dell Golf a Course (starting line is just below the pro shop.)

Landes Memorial Jump at Alta will be the The site for the jumping competition on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Miller said there will be only 15 competitors in this event because many schools don't have the facilities to recruit jumpers. Two Ute jumpers, Kip Sundgaard (the 1976 NCAA jumping champion) and Scott Clayton, will be competing for the U.S. Ski Team in Europe but Ute Ron Steele will be the favorite in the competition, being the last year's defending NCAA jumping champion.

If you're a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about. It's called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-Collegiat- e Program (NUPOC-- for short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as $650 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you'll receive an additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands in a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of training, you'll receive a $3,000 cash bonus. It isn't easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you'll have qualified for an elite engineering training program. With unequaled hands-oresponsibility, a $24,000 salary in four years, and qualifications for jobs in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy later. (But we don't think you'll want to. ) Ask your placement officer to set up an interview with a Navy representative when he visits the campus on Jan. or contact your Navy representative at 80 1 (collect). If you prefer, send your r6sum6 to the Navy Nuclear Officer 4015 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, Program, Code Va. 22203, and a Navy representative will contact you directly. NUPOC-Collegiate The Program.
