Own
in housing shortage
' * ’ *«?

By JOHN CURYLO
A&M students can expect the
tightest housing situation in
years to ease within the next
few weeks, according to Allan
M. Madeley, University Housing
Manager.
“We’re finally making prog
ress,” he said yesterday. “Things
are levelling off. We really ap
preciate the attitude of the stu
dents during this crisis.”
Howard S. Perry, director of
civilian student activities, com
mended student behavior toward
the problem, which saw some 70
civilian and 60 cadet rooms occu
pied by three students.
“The attitude was wonderful,”
he explained. “We appreciate the
way everyone acted, even though
they were inconvenienced. This
goes for both civilians and
cadets.”
Madeley said that the civilian
housing situation was alleviated
somewhat Friday, when students
were moved to leave the usual
two to a room. A similar correc
tion will be made by the Corps
tonight.
The two officials noted that
part of the problem arose with
the success of the recruiting and
retention efforts of the Corps.
“We expected a twenty per cent
loss,” Perry said. “Instead, there
was an increase of about 100.
This is excellent, but we weren’t
ready for it, as far as housing
was concerned.”
Madeley said that about 25 to
30 people are still waiting for
on-campus housing, but that they
should be taken care of within
a month.
tention is better than it used to
be, among both the Corps and
the civilians.”
“At this point, a solution re
mains to be seen,” he said. “How
ever, there usually are a certain
number of resignations due to
marriage or dropping out of
school. Theoretically, the situ
ation gets better day by day, and
will continue to throughout the
school year.
“We’ll probably have the high
est percentage of occupancy
across the campus than ever be
fore,” he continued, “although it
was pretty tight for the civilians
two years ago. Overall, the re-
Regarding future difficulties,
the chief of housing indicated
that the new dormitory would not
be of significant help.
“We won’t pick up that many
rooms, because Mitchell Hall will
be torn down,” he explained. “We
will have a few more rooms,
though.”
As a possible solution, Madeley
agreed that the policies restrict
ing off-campus housing for single
students may be relaxed a little.
“Some people want off campus
and others want on,” he said,
“and we like to make everybody
happy.”
Second crash in 3 days
17 die as charter jet crashes
HAMBURG, Germany UP)—A
West German charter jetliner
packed with vacationers bound
for Spain attempted an emer
gency landing on a superhighway
Monday, but struck a bridge and
exploded.
Police, sorting out conflicting
reports, said 17 of the 120 per
sons aboard were killed. They
said 42 were hospitalized and 61
others escaped unharmed or with
slight injuries.
The accident occurred minutes
after the plane took off from
Hamburg’s Fuhlsbuettel Airport.
A spokesman for the Pan Inter
national Airline said the com
pany’s British-made BAG 111 jet
attempted an emergency landing
on the highway after the captain
radioed that he had engine
trouble.
As the plane moved down the
highway it brushed a bridge and
damaged a wing r the airline
spokesman said.
The main fuselage skidded to
a halt and most of the passengers
and crew scrambled out before it
exploded in a cascade of flames.
Stunned and injured passen
gers staggered in a field along
side the autobahn and many were
picked up and taken to hospitals
by motorists, airport officials
said.
This complicated the task of
compiling a list of dead and in
jured.
The airline spokesman said all
crew members survived.
It was the second crash of a
commercial airliner since Satur
day, when an Alaska Airlines
727 jet crashed into a mountain
20 miles west of Juneau, killing
111 persons on board.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay <A>)_
Tupamaro guerrillas carved a tun
nel under a maximum security
penitentiary Monday and freed
111 prisoners with military pre
cision, striking a sharp blow at
the government’s antiterrorist
campaign.
All imprisoned Tupamaro lead
ers were among those freed.
In neighboring Argentina, at
least three gunmen fatally wound
ed five guards and freed 17 in
mates of the municipal jail in
San Miguel de Tucuman, about
700 miles northwest of Buenos
Aires. Two other guards also
were wounded by the raiders who
entered the jail compound in a
light truck and opened fire with
machine guns.
Sources said some of the pris
oners who escaped the Argentine
jail were armed with smuggled
weapons and began shooting at
the same time as the terrorists.
All fled in a truck and two
cars waiting outside the jail walls.
Police reported 14 of the escapees
were suspected members of the
People’s Revolutionary Army, a
Marxist guerrilla group, and the
others were common criminals.
There did not appear to be a
connection between the Argentine
and Uruguayan breakouts.
The mass escape in Monte
video was the second in two
months carried out by the leftist
Tupamaros. Among those who
crawled to freedom through a
120-foot tunnel under the thick
prison wall was Raul Sendic, 44-
year-old lawyer and a founder of
the Tupamaros.
The Tupamaros have kidnaped
foreigners and Uruguayans alike
in a campaign against the gov-
erment.

The conference program, “Ur

planning to regional and local

Conference participants include

Drugan emphasized.
He said Great Issues program

will enable more audience-speaker
interaction. A question-answer
session following Rostow’s talk
will be longer. In addition, a re
ception for the speaker will be
held in Room 2A following the
program.
Rostow, 54, served as deputy

Berliners took the announce
ment of Rush’s indisposition
with raised eyebrows in the face
of diplomatic maneuvering they
have experienced since 1945.
They were earthy in their com
ments.
So far as is known, the French
and Russian texts have been ac
cepted by East and West. But
since last week, experts of the
four powers responsible for oc
cupied Berlin, plus East and West
German experts, have been work
ing on an official German-lan
guage version.
They met late into Wednesday
night and Thursday morning;
and at the appointed hour, a
French spokesman told newsmen
there would be no signing.
Two hours later, a U.S. spokes
man added the announcement
that Rush was indisposed and
ordered to bed for the rest of the
day.
The heart of the matter is a
question of language that could
have grave consequences.
The English text of the agree
ment refers to “transit traffic”
concerning access through East
Germany to and from West Ber
lin.”
The West Germans want this
translated as “through traffic.”
The Communist side wants sim
ple “transit.” The implications
are legalistic in German;
“Through traffic” would mean
within a single country. “Tran
sit” would mean from one politi
cal entity, West Berlin, through
another, East Germany.
