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.

baby foods, the cessation of the
production of General Motors car,
Corvair, and advances in the area
of pollution control, safety and
advertising credibility.
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.

Egypt accepts peace proposal
“Look at the Houston Bay area,
look at the Mississippi River,”
Nader said.
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

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.
