v:. . V-V,."- ■ AW Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, February 18, 1971 THE BATTALION Nation needs new brand of patriotism, Nader says WACO — Americans must de velop a new citizenship and pa triotism that perfects, defends and puts the betterment of man first before organizationalism, Ralph Nader said Monday at Baylor University. “Patriotism is not found just in the battlefields,” Nader said. “We need a new definition of pa triotism. A patriot is a person who changes slums, a person who develops a kind of system that makes improvements.” Nader, called by Time maga zine the “U. S.’s toughest cus tomer,” was in Waco to speak during a Baylor chapel program. A lawyer, he first made head lines in 1965 with his book “Un safe at Any Speed,” an indict ment that lambasted Detroit for producing unsafe vehicles. He has been single-handedly responsible for at least six major federal consumer protection laws, for the elimination of mono sodium glutamate (MSG) from MSC BARBER SHOP.

Nader said we have the af fluence to solve problems, but we must liberate the solutions to do the job. The traditional form of citizenship has been part-time, up to now considered a hobby or volunteer work, he said. “We don’t look at citizenship as a profession,” Nader said. “We need supercitizens ” Nader suggested developing the ethics of the athletic world, such as “don’t quit.” “In citizenship there are a lot of quitters,” Nader said. “There were quitters after April 22, 1970 (Earth Day), as if U. S. Steel only polluted on April 22, 1970.” Nader said the greatest form of mass violence in the United States today is not crime in the streets but environmental pollu tion, the massive production of cars, the fact that 25 million peo ple are starving, the mass ex posure of migrant workers to pesticides and lead in the blood of black children in urban areas. Disobedience and unenforced laws are the cause of this mass violence, he said. “If we obeyed the laws in the country, we would have no pol luted rivers,” Nader said. Since 1899 it has been unlawful in this country to dump material wastes and materials into rivers. AUSTIN l Imith asked lesday to can :es on aut< ite an “own iroceeds goii ent.

We have got to have doctors, lawyers and persons, he said, who will work outside of an organiza tion for the safety of his fellow- man. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Egyptian government an nounced Wednesday that it ac cepts all the proposals offered by U. N. mediator Gunnar V. Jar ring in an attempt to bring peace to the Middle East. Israel, how ever, stood by its demand for a peace treaty with Egypt before withdrawing from occupied Arab territory. “We need professional society laws outside that will preserve safety inside,” he said. “We can no longer depend on organiza tions. They are being condemned from the inside.” “Egypt accepted all that came in the proposals Jarring offered to us,” an Egyptian government spokesman said in Cairo without elaboration. The last resort in a democracy is to appeal to the citizens, Nader said. The fight Nader speaks of will take a stamina that would wear most people down, he said, unless a person changes his life style. Jarring’s proposal has not been made public but is said to include Israeli withdrawal from Arab territory in exchange for certain guarantees and the stationing of a U. N. peace force along Israeli- Arab borders. mier Golda Meir that a peace treaty with Egypt must precede any withdrawal. He told the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in Jerusalem, that the central question was whether Egypt would sign a document ending the war in all of its forms. After such a development, he said, Israel would withdraw to “secure and agreed borders.” Cairo’s authoritative newspa per A1 Ahram reported that Egypt has informed Jarring that it will pledge compliance with the Security Council’s 1967 reso lution on the Middle East if Israel does likewise The reply urged Jarring to ob tain from Israel a pledge to “dis charge the obligations contained in the resolution,” A1 Ahram said. It listed them as Israeli with drawal from all territory occu pied in the 1967 war, “a just so lution to the Palestinian prob lem,” and a formal declaration renouncing the use of force, ter ritorial occupation and expan sionism. Jarring’s proposals asked for declarations of intent from Is rael, Egypt and Jordan, holding indirect peace talks with him at the United Nations in New York. He also asked their views on how to bring peace to tk area. The Israelis have made eta that they plan to retain somec! the territory occupied after tk 1967 war. Israel also rejected!

Foreign Minister Abba Eban said he saw no reason to change the position stated earlier by Pre A&M gets $270,000 to study earthquake grant causes Texas A&M’s Center for Tec- tonophysics has received a $270,- 000 Department of Interior re search grant to study the mechan ical properties of rocks affecting earthquake generation, Texas Sen. John Tower announced. Participants in the three-year study are Drs. John Handin, center director, and Melvin Fried man, John M. Logan, George Sowers and David W. Stearns, plus four graduate students. The $270,000 Department of Interior grant is administered by the U. S. Geological Survey, Office of Earthquake Research and Crustal Studies, Menlo Park, Calif. Dr. Friedman pointed out de structive earthquakes, like the recent one in Southern California, originate as a result of the release of stored elastic energy that oc curs when rock masses are fault ing at relatively shallow depths in the earth’s crust. This faulting or shearing oc curs in already fractured rock masses, he said. Current information on me chanical faulting is very poor, Friedman added. The Center for Tectonophysics was granted the funds to research the problem from three interrelated stand points. They include an experimental study of faulting rock masses under conditions of pressure and temperature simulating those at depths in the earth’s crust, photomechanical model study ^ fracture propagation and a fiek study of fault mechanisms. Research grants totaling mo« than $600,000 have been awards to staff members of the Cento for Tectonophysics in receS months. The center is a parti the College of Geosciences. They include a $140,000 Nt tional Science Foundation tw year grant to study the mechanit of folding. Drs. Handin, Fried man, Logan, Stearns and f»' graduate students will participik in the study.
