mtm Pa Page 6 College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 21, 1973 Supreme Court Rules Against Nader THE BATTALION WASHINGTON (A>) _ The Su preme Court Tuesday turned back a move by consumer crusader Ralph Nader to reopen a govern ment antitrust suit against Inter national Telephone and Telegraph Co. In an 8-1 ruling the justices agreed with a federal district court in Connecticut that the gov ernment did not have to reveal why it had decided to reach a settlement with ITT. Nader’s appeal represented an effort to give the public a greater opportunity to participate in anti trust actions against large busi ness. Only Justice William O. Douglas voted to grant him a hearing. The 1971 agreement permitted ITT to keep the Hartford Insur ance Co. but called for divestiture of three other firms with annual sales of more than $1 billion. Nader and an associate, Reuben B. Robertson III, said the govern ment’s reason, which they said was to spare ITT and its stock holders great financial hardship, surfaced only because the suit became an issue during Senate hearings on the nomination of Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst. The Supreme Court in another action declined to review the con viction of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan for the murder of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles in 1968. Sirhan’s lawyers claimed in an appeal that police had searched his mother’s home unconstitu tionally after the shooting and there was new evidence that he did not fire the fatal bullet. Meanwhile, six appeals were granted review. All will be con sidered next term. Among the more significant: —A black worker in Denver claiming he was fired for racial reasons is seeking the right to have his law suit considered by federal courts even though a labor arbitrator has ruled the discharge was “for good cause.” — The Justice Department wants a federal grand jury in Ohio to be allowed to use material gained without a search warrant in a gambling investigation. —New York officials are try ing to reinstate a law that re quired public contractors to tes tify fully before grand juries in vestigating bribery and other crimes. The case concerns plans for a domed stadium in Buffalo. Batt Book Review ‘Journey To Ixtlan’ Researchers Study Ways To Use A Waste Material From Highways Researchers at A&M’s Texas Transportation Institute are ex ploring ways to utilize a waste material in highways with the multiple goals of making a better highway while at the same time disposing of a troublesome solid waste by-product. The waste material being ex plored by principle investigator B. M. Gallaway and his staff is fly ash, a by-product that is col lected in the burning of lignite coal to generate heat for electri cal power generation. “We have shown,” Gallaway said, “that a synthetic rock can be economically made by refiring pellets of fly ash. These rocks can be used as replacements for natural rocks in concrete and bi tuminous pavements with an overall savings in cost.” W. B. Ledbetter, a member of the engineering team on the proj ect, said the quantities of fly ash produced and collected in the gen eration of electric power are im mense, and their disposal is an important environmental problem. “Our demonstrating that the multiple goal of helping an en vironmental problem, a natural resource problem, and economics problem indicate the overall ap proach now taken by engineers to more fully assess both techno logical and environmental factors involved in any engineering en deavor,” he said. An additional goal in the Texas Utilities Services, Inc. funded project is the slow-down in the depletion rate of natural mate rials through the use of waste products.

Write now for free catalog: WCA, Chapman College, Box CC40, Orange, Cal. 92666 Riding the crest of interest created by his first two books, Carlos Castaneda has produced the finest of the series with “Journey To Ixtlan.” A gripping, non-fictional nar rative, Castaneda’s third book follows the theme established in “A Separate Reality,” and “The Teachings of Don Juan.” The books delve into the unique life style and customs of a Yaqui Indian, Don Juan Matus, who is a “brujo” or a sorcerer and Cas taneda becomes his apprentice. The book draws its power from the unusual personality of Don Juan much as he draws his “pow er” from the desert surroundings. His abstract ideas and states of “non-ordinary reality” would be material enough for a book but Castaneda makes good use of them and their applications to laymen. Castaneda makes use of his anthropological background and copious field notes to present the air of a scientifically prepared manuscript. His long, involved quotes help establish the book as non-fiction although the ideas presented sometimes become hard to believe. At times, the reader must ad mit to being just as lost as Cas taneda is. Don Juan’s evasive answers and explanations often leave Castaneda wondering what’s going on, and he does an excel lent job of passing that feeling of confusion on to the reader. The book seems to have lost something in the translation, as all the dialogue was originally in Spanish. Castaneda uses the di rect Spanish phrase when the meaning is obscure, but it is often of little help to awkward pas sages. Still, the book is tremendously interesting and its long stay on the best selling lists bears that out. The ideas of life and human nature that Castaneda-Don Juan present merit some consideration. A few of the theories are “prac ticable” even though at times it seems that Castaneda leaves out small bits of information neces sary to lead the life of “man of knowledge.” The final chapter of the 315- page book is by far the best. Don Juan and his sorcerer friend, Don Genaro, explain to Castaneda that the life of a “brujo” is sim ilar to a never-ending journey. The reader will be able to under stand Castaneda’s fear and re luctance to undertake such an en terprise; his own private journey to “Ixtlan.” Prairie View A&M To Have Access To TAMU Computer A&M’s Data Processing Center, the largest university IBM ter minal operation in the state, will add Prairie View A&M College to its list of institutions having on-line access to TAMU’s com puter. Two terminal stations will be installed on the Prairie View cam pus this month to give the school access, through a leased telephone line, to the full range of com puter services offered at the Data Processing Center. One of the terminals will be an IBM 2770 Remote Job Entry terminal. The low speed card reader and line printer will be installed in Prairie View’s Data Processing Center, and plans call for the 2770 to be upgraded to a faster unit, the IBM 3780 RJE terminal later this year. The other terminal will be an APL terminal which uses a com bination of typewriter and tele phone link-ups with the IBM 360 computer system on the TAMU campus. It will be installed in Prairie View’s School of Agri culture and will give the Agri culture Research Group a time sharing capability for the solu tion of many of the statistical computations performed on the PVAM campus.
