who like thousands of other senior football
players aeioss the country, had completed
their eligibility with the final whistle in '75.
Rag&dalc had always wanted to play pro
football, mavbe in his hometown of
Ikilti more, Md. with the Colts, but as time
grew nearer to the end of his college days he
just wanted to play.
Ragsdale's long wait to decide his football
future received some bright news last week
when he was drafted in the twelth round b
(Jic Tampa Bay Bucaneers of the NFL.
"J had no idea I was going to be drafted
by them and right now I'm, just glad it
happened," said Ragsdale, who last season
set an AAT rushing record for a single season
with 920 yards. "The teams that stayed in
tminci with me most of last season were
tM Mbtt Baltimore, and Chicago.
"I'm going down to Tampa on the 16th
of April lo get my contract in order and to
workout with the other rookies," said
Ragsdale, who will take part in the A&T
commencement exercises on May 2. "All
I've really been doing is running to keep
myself in shape. 1 haven't been doing
anything really heavy like lifting weights.
"I feel that I'm in the best shape that I
have ever been in throughout my career."
There had been rumors that Ragsdale was
"too small" to withstand the physical
punishment of the National Football
League. Some pro football scouts that
visited the Aggie practices last season felt
Ragsdale would stand a better chance at
wide receiver.
"When 1 talked to the Tampa people, all
we discussed was a running back position. 1
feel that I could make the adjustment to
wide receiver if necessary; however, I'm
comfortable in the backfield and that's
where 1 feel I could make the best
contribution to Tampa."

You've heard
the news about
GM's new mini,

EPA estimates of
40 mpg highway,

Now take a look at
some of our other
small cars.
Chevrolet Chevette with 1.4-liter 4-cyl.

the kind of driving you do, your driving
habits, your car's condition and
available equipment.

If you haven't bought a new car in the past
several years, you'll find a new world of
smaller GM cars to choose from. And new
features that have contributed to
improved fuel economy while cutting
down on scheduled maintenance.
A big choice of
small models with
good gas mileage.
If gas mileage is at the top of your list of
reasons for buying your next car, we think
GM has what you want. Take a look at the
chart and you'll see what we mean.
Of course these figures are estimates.
The mileage you get will vary according to
the kind of driving you do, your driving
habits, your car's condition and available
equipment.

Thanks primarily to the GM-designed cata
lytic converter, the use of unleaded gas
and the High Energy Ignition System, your
spark plugs can last up to 22,500 miles.
And there are no points and ignition
condenser to replace. Ever.
In addition, GM's clean-running engines
let you go up to 7,500 miles for the first oil
and oil filter change interval and chassis
lubrication.
A new world of
cars awaits you.

In just a few short years the automobile
as we've known it has undergone an
enormous transformation.
On the engineering side, GM has been
in the forefront by offering such things
as the catalytic converter, smaller, more
economical engines and space-age
electronics for ignitions, fuel injection
and service diagnostics.
On the maintenance side, we've
significantly lengthened recommended
service intervals.
And on the selection side, we've come
up with new smaller models.
So if you've been out of the new-car
market for several years, stop by your
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick
and Cadillac dealers soon.
