CADET SLOUCH

Tide going against Hussein
BEIRUT, Lebanon <^P) — After
six days of fighting, the tide
seems to be turning against Jor
dan’s King Hussein.
The invasion from Syria over
whelmed his 40th Armored Regi
ment in north Jordan and de
prived him of the quick military
victory that seemed within his
reach.
The bloodshed wrought by Hus
sein’s Bedouin generals, finally
unleased in the streets of Amman
and the guerrilla strongholds
buried deep in the teeming
refugee camps around it, has
raised grave doubts Hussein can
emerge politically unscathed from
the carnage.
Half of Jordan’s population is
Palestinian, bitterly hostile to the
Bedouin even in normal times.
‘How’s this for a bumper sticker?”
Diplomatic sources report as
many as 250 Syrian tanks have
entered Jordan from the north
the last three days. Jordan’s
53,000-man army has 320 tanks
and 350 armored cars and troop
carriers but many of these are

CS plans expansion of work
on street repair with rubber
Thursday
City officials here plan to ex
pand their experimental work in
use of ground scrap rubber tires
to repair cracks in streets.
College Station City Engineer
Lloyd James said the concept may
also be broadened to include other
waste products, such as plastic
containers and glass.
James termed the most recent
test of methodology “completely
successful.”
The ground tires were mixed
with sand in an asphalt seal coat
for use as a stress-relieving inter
face for cracks in unreinforced
concrete in the “Carter’s Grove”
section of the city.
James said the most recent test,
on Sept. 4, was the third in a
series. The two earlier attempts
did not produce the desired re
sults, he noted.
The concept of using old tires
for surfacing streets and high
ways was conceived by Dr. Dou
glas Bynum, research engineer at
A&M.
In addition to use as a patch
ing material for existing streets,
James plans to employ the tire
mixture on a new limestone base
street before applying the normal
asphaltic concrete riding surface.
James noted three private com
panies have participated in the
experiment. They are the U. S.
Rubber Reclaiming Co. in Vicks
burg, Miss., which provided the
ground rubber; Texas Emulsion
Co. of Austin, supplier of the
emulsion, and Dalworth Slurry
Seal Co., Inc., of Arlington, which
laid the surface.
The Environmental Action
Council of Brazos County has
scheduled a public forum at 8
p.m. Thursday in the district
courtroom of the Brazos County
Courthouse.
A panel of experts will discuss
solid waste disposal. They include
College Station city engineer
Lloyd James and Director of the
Brazos County Health Dept., Dr.
Charles H. Miller Jr. Also speak
ing on the panel will be Dr. W. B.
Davis and Dr. Gary Kramer, both
of the environmental engineering
division, Civil Engineering Dept,
at A&M.
Each has been asked to present
a 10-15 minute talk, according to
EAC president W. T. (Tom) Mc
Donald. A question and answer
session will follow.
He said the topic was chosen
to broaden the knowledge of “our
citizens on the scope and com
plexities of solid waste disposal
on a national as well as local
level.”

still committed around the capital
and in central Jordan.
The guerrillas probably can
hold on in the north and maybe
establish a “Palestinian state,”
but they are given little chance
of overwhelming the entire Jor
danian army.
The carnage wrought by Hus
sein’s Bedouin generals around
Amman, however, has dealt Hus
sein a moral and political blow
which he will have difficulty
surviving.
“This bloodbath has been long
coming but none of us expected
it to be as bad as this,” one
Western diplomat said. “The
wounds it opens will not heal
soon.”
Another diplomat said: “Hus
sein’s a tough guy, but how long
can he last in the face of all
this?”
Rhodes scholarship help
available from Ballinger
The Palestinian guerrillas
backed by two Soviet-equipped
brigades of armor from Syria,
have carved out a “liberated area”
10-15 miles deep inside Jordan
from the north.
Hussein’s army, better trained
man for man than the Palestin
ians or Syrians, can probably
clear the isolated Palestinian
pockets in central Jordan. But
the Syrians outnumber them in
the north.
Dr. Richard H. Ballinger of
the English Department said
Tuesday students interested in
applying for Rhodes Scholarships
should check with him before
Oct. 6.
Ballinger’s office is in room
302-A of the Academic Building.
Applicants must be between the
ages of 18-24 on Oct. 1, Ballin
ger said, but the maximum age
limit may be relaxed for students
who have fulfilled their military
service obligation.
Also, Ballinger said, applicants
must be U.S. male citizens, un
married. Exclusion of women is
one of the rules set forth by
Cecil Rhodes in his will, Ballinger
said.
Although there is no set grade
point ratio requirement, Ballinger
said he “would say a person
should have at least a 3.5 gpr.”
“Of course, he said, the Rhodes
selection committee likes a many-
sided man, a man who also has
some interest in serving others.”
Ballinger also said an applicant
should be a senior or graduate
student, although juniors may
apply.
Those finally selected, he said,
may pursue any course of study
at Oxford University in England.
All expenses while at Oxford are
taken care of, Ballinger said, but
the student must provide his own
transportation over there.
Ballinger said there have been
two Rhodes scholars from A&M,
one in 1922 and one in 1946.
