International progr~~ needs sponsors Nearly 60 students from Sou th--America~ -Eu rope, the

Middle East and Asia are expected to arrive at NPS this month, according to Dr. R. A. McGonigal, international education coordinator. So far, only five of these stu­dents have been assigned sponsors.

''We can find life-long friends and allies in the inter­national students here," he said, "or, if we can't find people that care enough about them (to act as sponsors), we can send them home with the impression that Americans simply don't care," said McGonigaL

The NPS sponsorship program, coordinated by the NPS international committee, provides critical support for international students and their families during the tran­

A tion to life in the U.S. The program is designed to aid ~ international student in widening his circle of social contacts and improve the understanding of both Americans and i nternationals for each other's rultures.

NPS firemen battle Cannery Row fire

For the first time in a year, the NPS fire depart­ment was called upon to lend assistance to local fire departments as they battled a major warehouse fire in the historic Cannery Row district on July 23.

When the NPS fire team of Dennis Gadsky, Ryan Metz and Ken Moffat arrived on scene, they were requested to pro­tect a three-story shopping mall, separated from the fire only by a firewall in the building. According to Gadsky, they arrived at 0600 and, for the next two hours, were successful in protecting the malL

The fire caused an esti-,1&.ted two million dollars ~th of damage, including ttte destruction of a ware­house in which all of the famed "Doc" Ricketts biolo­gical research papers were stored.

According to McGonigal, sponsors aid in the checking-in process and in finding housing, transporta­tion and banking facilities. They also of f er companion­ship "and a lot of advice." "The re is absolutely no f i­nancial or legal obligation on the part of the sponsor," he said.

While the student body is a prime source of recruit­ment for the program, spon­sors can be just about any­one willing to dedicate some time toward creating a posi­tive image of Americans and their country, according to McGonigal.

"Sponsors are invited to many athletic and social events," he said. "Sponsor­ship provides an opportunity to make life-long friends and will certainly improve the sponsor's knowledge of other cultures," he added.

If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, contact the international off ice at ext. 2186.

From the Chaplain by LCDR R. G. Rowland, CIC

While on leave a few weeks ago in Louisiana, I stopped to take a picture of a man tilling his garden with a horse and plow. I thought of the hard work that he was doing following that horse as it pulled the plow and the strength that it takes to hold the plow straight so that the plants will not be up rooted.

As I started on my way again, I was reminded of a little story that I had heard about two plowshares. It was told to me something like this:

Two plowshares were made from the same pig iron. One was sold to a farmer who used it constantly. The other remained on the shelf of the hardware store, unsold until it was covered with rust.

The farmer brought his worn out share to get another like it. The rusty share was brought out and saw its brother shining like a silver dollar. ''How is it," the rusty one asked, "that your life has been so wearing and yet has made you so beau tifu 1? Once we were alike, but I have grown ugly in spite of my easy life."

''I' hat's it," rep lied the shiny share: ''I'he beau tif u 1 life is the result of sacrificial, busy and pu rp osefu 1 living."

You may have been having problems and wondering why your life is not what it ought to be. It just may be that you have been living the easy life and you need to make some decision which will cause you to lead a life of sacrifice and purposeful activity.

Participate in worship this week and begin to place all of life in its proper perspective.

The research vessel Pt. Sur will hold an open house on Sunday, Aog. 10, froa 1600-1800, during which equipaent for the global positioning system (GPS) will be on display. The ship will depart the next night to deploy transponders in the same site where NPS researchers conducted the nation's first at-sea tests of the GPS system last year. Principal investigators in the project are NPS oceanography assistant professor Steve Tucker, Dr. Muneendra Kumar and Dr. Naren­dra Saxena. Kumar is chief of the terrestrial computations branch of the Defense Mapping Agency and the current MC&G chair professor in oceanography. Saxena, last year's MC&G chair professor, is from the University of Hawaii and the editor-in-chief of the journal, Marine Geodesy. According to Kumar, GPS will revolutionize geodetic research in the 1980s and 1990s.

Physics associate professor Steve Garrett recently served as an instructor in the National Science Founda­tion's new program, ''Science for Science Teachers." Fifty junior high school teachers from around the country were selected by NSF for this novel program. Its purpose -- to introduce them to the "latest scientific discoveries from leading researchers," stated NSF.

Reference librarian Ron Rodrigues is writing a compre­hensive reference book on California coaaunities. Rodri­gues' book, which he began in 1977, provides detailed information on the place names and characteristics of every community -- past, present and proposed -- in the state.

In brief ...

The information resourf aanageaent office, disestab­lished on July 1, has merged with the management inf orma­tion systems off ice.

The management inf orma­tion system will have two major divisions: one for mainframe-based support and another for microcomputer support. The micro-based support personnel will con­titrue to operate from their office in Room 039, Herrmann Hall.

IS1 Bernhard's Mason-Dixon Line ~aptu~es a!Jdien~es world-wide WY .J02 Mary Reed

What music group opened for Alabama's 1981 Virginia Beach concert and was also chosen the Virginia Country Music Association's Band of the Year?

ISl Gary Bernhard's band "Mason-Dixon Line," according to the lead singer and drummer. 'That year was a good one for the band. We'd played up and down the East Coast since our beginning in 1977," said Bernhard, who claimed the band was originally a trio.

The only ·military member of the current four-man band, Bernhard said: 'The members have changed almost everywhere I've gone. At one point in 1982, I had to go to O.maha to attend a four-month advanced photo interpretation school. The band followed, at my request, just so we could play at the local club."

One thing sure to make any singer a hit is a unique style. Although the four sing in wonderful harmony, separately they can be likened to a Charlie Daniels, George Strait, Merle Haggard, and George Jones all in one show, with Bernhard playing the clown at times. 'To get the audiences at tent ion" he wears various facial masks and changes the words to popular tunes, while the others jo­vially play along with the routine.

After his East Coast tours during his band's early years, Bernhard and band went on to Nebraska, then to

"'1;,.orea. 'That is where the fun began," he said. ''We did a . t of extensive tours along the DMZ, and benefit concerts

,,, or the Army, Marine Corps, and Navy. We went where no one else did. We cut two albums in Seoul. We still have the number one song in Korea today called ''Miss Lee."

While in Korea, the guys received rumerous awards from the Army General's staff, according to Bernhard. "In fact, one time I'll always hold special is the time we had a concert for some Marines scheduled, but no one knew where to locate them. We got a helicopter ride from a colonel and ventured on a 'bear hunt.' We eventually found them and held the concert. I was offered the Navy Achievement Medal for the effort, but turned it down. I considered our attempt a benefit to us more than to them," he said.

Since October 1985, the new Mason-Dixon Line has become more reputable. "Since I've established this band in the states, we've exceeded anything that's existed so far. It's an incredible sound with outstanding harmony," said Bernhard, who's band's latest achievement was writing and producing a theme song for the Salinas Spurs baseball team.

"We had a concert for them July 13. It was all the result of accidentally meeting the assistant manager and official photogra_e~~r in T)et_l_ny'~ _?ne __ n~ght," _ h_!_ s~id.

Bernhard and other members Bob Del Grego, Todd Ciprian and Mike Howell practice vocals once a week and practice playing three times a wee~ 'There was a time when I played most every night of the year, but as it is now, we ~~~p it to three to four . nights a week," he said.

According to Sgt. Dave Brown, nightclub manager of The

•. lly Point on Ft. Ord, 'They're very entertaining, ener­

tic and fun. I can't wait for Gary to get back from Korea." Bernhard is on a 30-day concert tour re-united with the guys he played with while there a few years ago.

Mason-Dixon Line is scheduled to play at NPS' EM Club Sept. 19.
