Mayor Fred Hofheinz met with
about 20 district foremen and said
they had pledged their best efforts
to get the men back to work Wed
nesday.
cause of breakdowns, he said, crews
often must pickup more than one
route on collection days. Each route
services from 900 to 1,000 homes.
Also meeting with Hofheinz were
R. Jack McDaniel, director of the
solid waste department, and
Maynard White, business manager
for a city employee union.
Hofheinz said the garbagemen
have a legitimate complaint about
truck maintenance and that his ad
ministration will do everything pos
sible to improve the situation. Be-
Barbara Strong, press secretary of
Hofheinz, said the garbagemen
want truck maintenance under the
control of the solid waste depart
ment, want more mechanics, and
want a 15 percent wage increase.
Oil executive expects
long range oil needs
One-third of the oil we use is im
ported. We will have to rely on oil to
meet energy needs for a long time,
says an oil executive.
A&M instructor
to teach abroad
Dr. Charles Wukasch, modern
languages instructor at A&M, has
been selected for a Fulbright-Hays
Award to teach English in Yugos
lavia, beginning in September.
Dr. Wukasch received his Ph.D.
in linguistics from the University of
Texas in August. He had taught at
TAMU since February, 1973. Pre
viously, he taught at Mississippi
State, William and Mary College
and at the UT International Center
Intensive English Program.
He has also studied a year at the
University of Liepzig in East Ger
many.
He was notified of his selection by
the Council for International Ex
change of Scholars and the U. S.
State Department, Dr. J. M.
Nance, campus Fulbright advisor,
said.
G. P. Pepper, Mobile Oil execu
tive, Beaumont, lectured the J.T. L.
McNew Chapter of the American
Society of Civil Engineering Tues
day night.
Pepper said areas off the U.S.
coasts must be developed, balanc
ing the energy needs with the needs
of a good environment. He noted
that of the 17,000 offshore wells dril
led off U.S. coasts since 1946 only
four produced major spills.
Pepper said the current profits of
the oil companies is not as great as
people believe. He cited a Forbes
Magazine study where Mobil
ranked 400th in profitability over
the last five years.
Tn the space of a few months, the
oil-exporting countries have quad
rupled the price of crude oil, ” Pep
per said. Gasoline prices lagged be
hind many other items in the recent
price climb.
