Larry majored in engineer ing while living in the U.S.S.R., and decided that would be his profession when he came here. Since American engineering is somewhat different from Rus sian engineering he found it necessary to enroll at Capitol Campus. Academic institutions on a college level are almost the same between the two coun tries, according to Larry. The main difference, he explains, is Cros ACROSS 1. Stop 7. Insult 13. Carrier 14.
