Nixon was reported on Thursday to be depressed and in heavy pain as his doctor weighed whether surgery is needed to com bat the former president’s phlebitis. Dr. John C. Lungren said the de cision on whether Nixon will need surgery will depend on whether hospital-administered anticoagul ant drugs are successful in treating the inflamed veins which have pain fully swollen Nixon’s left leg. In phlebitis surgery, the inflamed veins are often tied off. “He came in last night for tests and didn’t expect to stay,” a source close to Nixon said. “They told him it was a very dangerous situation, and when they told him this he became very depre ssed and grumpy. “Yesterday he was in very bad STATION SUNDAY BUFFET $09 5 Youngsters $1.95 DAILY LUNCHEON SPECIALS $1.95 Texas Ave. at Hwy 30 spirits. The clot situation is worse than they thought. He has having heavy pain. Unfortunately, he was working constantly at home on his book and papers, so at least he’ll get a rest here.” The source said allegations that Nixon may be using his illness to keep from testifying at the Water gate cover-up trial “really doesn’t bother him at all. He doesn’t care what people say.” “The thing he is really worried about now is his health,” the source said. The blood-clotting could threaten Nixon’s life. A clot in his leg could break loose, travel through the bloodstream and lodge in his heart. Nixon’s hospitalization was unex pected. Lungren had maintained to newsmen that Nixon was doing well. In a written statement Thursday, Lungren said Nixon was undergoing tests to determine if the former president is “in the small group of paradoxical cases, i.e., people for whom anticoagulation cannot be maintained by drugs. ” Lungren said Nixon was taking drugs orally and by injection to build up his an ticoagulant level to prevent more blood clots from forming. 14 following 12 days of treatment, Lungren said the lung clot had dis appeared naturally and that the phlebitis had responded well to treatment. Lungren said before Nixon’s dis charge that it would be at least a month and possibly as long as three months before the former president could travel without endangering his health. A&M is in the transition to a fully coed institution, even among the veterans it serves under the GI Bill. About “four or five” female vete rans are attending TAM U under the GI Bill program, report local rep resentatives of the Veterans Ad ministration regional office in Waco. Quake Strikes TAMU is serving approximately 1,000 veterans on the GI Bill through vet reps Baton Butler and Henry Vander Cruyssen. Their of fice is in Hart Hall. The vet reps say women comprise 1.9 percent of the total U. S. veteran population. Of those, nearly one- fifth are Vietnam era veterans. Nearly 12,000 have entered civilian life from military duties dur ing the last year. Of the 551,000 female U.S. vete rans, there are 303,000 from the World War II era; 74,000 from Korea; 14,000 from World War I and Spanish-American War. 57,000 served between the Korean and Vietnam wars. By. age the largest grouping (128,000) has an average age of 50-54 years. Rescue contest slated Mexico Lungren said Nixon was admitted after three hours of diagnostic tests showed “defects or blockages of blood vessels” which could be caused by phlebitis-induced clots in the lower left leg. There was “near total occlusion, or blockage, of blood flow in the deep system of the thing,” the doctor added. Lungren said there were new or old clots in the left thigh. Anticoagulants prevent the for mation of new clots but have little ability to dissolve existing clots. Nixon is secluded in a room on the top floor of Memorial Hospital Medical Center, 25 miles south of Los Angeles. A hospital spokesman said if non- surgical treatment is successful in checking the phlebitis, Nixon may be able to leave the hospital late Friday or on Saturday. After Nixon left the hospital Oct. MEXICO CITY (AP) — An ear thquake registering six degrees on the Richter scale struck southern Mexico Thursday night but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, the Mexican seismilogical office said. A spokesman said the quake gas recorded here at 8:07 p.m. EDT with an epicenter located about 180 miles south of Mexico City. The quake was not felt in the Mexican capital. “It was probably felt severely in the State of Chiapas,” the spokes man said. Chiapas is Mexico’s southern most state on the border with Guatemala. The Fuego volcano in Guatemala across the border was in its 15th day of an eruption Thursday but the spokesman declined to speculate on whether the tremor may have been linked to the eruption. The Richter scale measures the ground’s movement in a earth quake. A quake that measures six on the scale is considered severe, and one that measures seven can cause widespread damage. The San Fran cisco earthquake of 1906 registered 8.3 on the scale. The student body has been chal lenged to an “Egg-mergency Re scue Contest at 9 a. m. November 2 by the local student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the contest is for a team of up to four people to “design and build a device to lower a criti cally injured patient down the face of a perlous cliff at night, in the shortest amount of time, for the smallest monetary outlay.” In reality this means getting a fresh USDA extra-large egg into a six-foot circle from the third floor of the Zachry Engineering Center without looking and without break ing the egg. And, as an additional handicap, a team can only spend $1 for materials. Gifts and junk will be itemized at new value. The winning team pockets the dollar entry fees from the competi tion with a guaranteed $20 minimum. Penalties of 1/100 second are levied for every cent over $1 that is spent for materials. 15% OFF On Purchase of $50.00 or Over 10% OFF On Purchase of $50.00 or Less Actions nent have ligh inflat j>hilip Gra lartment |rs Associi Speakin ort Wor roductior if 1974 on FOR YOU AGS WITH YOUR STUDENT I,DImpact of ' '“lets of ft ifety and |m output The 12 Douglas Jewelry 212 N.
