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.

‘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.

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.
