Dominick F. Gagliardo,
a six-year member of the

has announced his can­didacy
for a third term as
trustee.
Gagliardo, who served
as the Board's Vice
President from 1969-1970
and its President from
1970-1971, stated that if
elected he would try to
bring more com­munication
and honesty to
the Board.
"Most of the current
Board members," said
Gagliardo, "ran on the
premise of greater
communication. Yet there
seems to be less and less of
it each year."
"I think this is a big
problem," continued
Gagliardo in a telephone
interview with the BETH-full
tuition and laboratory fees
for foox years at any accredited
engineering college of 'his choice.

members, he has had a well-rounded
high school career. In
addition to being an honor society

chestra and jazz workshop.
Grumman has been awarding
Engineering Scholarships since
1944. Including the 1973 awards,
some 309 grants have been given
over the thirty year period. Of the
ten annual scholarships, up to
seven are open to competition
among eligible high school
seniors of Nassau and Suffolk
Counties; dependents of
Grumman employees compete
for the balance. Waag is in the
latter group, as his father works
for Grumman Aerospace as a
draftsman.
The student may choose to
specialize in either aeronautical,
mechanical, civil or electrical
engineering, provided the pr­imary
interest is a long-term
career in engineering or sup­porting
field in the aerospace
effort.
