Dr. H. E. Ross, Jr., is the head of a project sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, Depart ment of Transportation to compile a guide for selecting location and de signing traffic barrier systems. ‘The project is unique because it is a cooperative undertaking by TAMU, the Federal Highway De partment and state representatives of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Offi cials (AASHTO),’ Ross said. “What we mean by traffic barrier systems is any protective device such as guardrails, median barriers, bridge railings, impact attenuators and earth barriers, he explained. “Traffic barriers are installed to protect errant vehicles from a vari ety of roadside hazards that cannot be eliminated or to prevent head-on collisions on divided highways hav ing narrow medians. Specific bar rier designs need to be identified, and guides for selecting from these configurations need to be de veloped for the different site and traffic conditions. These guides should take into account strength, deflections, safety characteristics and costs,” Dr. Ross added. The Texas Transportation Insti tute researcher said that since ear lier works, published in 1971, addi tional research and field experience made the need great for a new and expanded publication relating to traffic barrier systems. “Such a guide would assist high way engineers to solve traffic barrier design problems, Ross pointed out. “It would also insure the effi cient use of the research findings to reduce the severity of many vehicle crashes. "The manual will provide the practicing highway engineer with the information to determine if a hazard is severe enough to warrant protection and to select a barrier to meet the need,” Ross continued. “Not only that, it should tell him how it should be designed and how it should be located along the road way. The guide will contain examples that are designed to assist users in applying the traffic barrier design guidelines to immediate problems.

Moss described the national energy policy goals as a combina tions of three objectives. The objec tives are, balancing supply and de mand; reducing adverse environ mental and social effects and reduc ing the dependence on foreign energy conservation is required for a complete national energy policy. Moss said that America needs to develop more sources of energy such as geothermal, solar, coal and nuclear power. energy sources. The former Sierra Club president said the present system of subsidiz ing the oil industry is unfairly cost ing the consumer. Citing the case of black lung dis ease in coal miners. Moss said that the American public is spending $1 million for treatment given to the victims of the disease. Moss said the coal industry should pay for the treatment. Since the cost of the treatment would use the industry’s money they woidd seek a cure. Moss said. “We have to get away from having the victims pay for the damages,” Moss said. Moss’s solutions to the present policy are divided into three major parts. First, energy users would pay all the costs of energy production. Secondly, an “internationaliza tion of some of the costs of pollu tion control would be necessary. Finally, an aggressive program ot Moss, shifting to energy economics, said that the Gross Na tional Product (GNP) is not a direct function of energy use. He cited ex amples of countries which use little energy hut have a high GNP. Moss defined the GNP as “the measure of the money that passes through hands in a country.” “I am in favor of nuclear energy as an alternative source as compared to oil, gas and coal. Moss said. He also said that during his term as Sierra Club president, the club issuei] moratorium against nuclear [ plant construction.

RUTLEDGE III, Students’ Legal Ad visor, gives a lecture on "Lease Contract...Landlord and Tenant Relations” in room 226 of the MSC at 7 p.m. Texas may need deepwater port facilities for large bulk cargo vessels as well as for giant oil tankers, said a TAMU researcher. Dan Bragg, engineer with the In dustrial Economics Research Divi sion, says that most of the nation’s deepwater port planning has been concerned with accommodating “supertankers’ in the world oil trade. However, there is a fleet of deep-draft “superfreighters’ which carry iron ore, coal, grain and other dry hulk cargoes. “Since the economics of scale that make supertankers feasible apply to dry cargo ships as well, our increas ing dependency on a variety of im ported materials indicates the need for ports to handle both types of ves sels, Bragg said. In a study for the Sea Grant Prog ram, he will analyze the projected growth of foreign bulk commodity trade in Texas. He will also project the size and configuration of the fu ture world freighter fleet. “The result will be a report which includes a summary of the needs of Texas,” Bragg said. “It would pro vide a clearer understanding of the deepwater port issue and bring into focus the need for total planning of marine transportation in Texas.” “Most published superport studies have ignored or treated lightly the possible merits of dredg ing a channel to an on-shore loca tion, such as proposed for projects underway at the ports of Galveston and Corpus Christi, ’ he added. The study will evaluate the po tential of on-shore, dredged- channel deepwater ports in Texas in terms of need and feasibility. The researchers will also prepare a commodity flow projection of foreign trade in the Western Gulf. GIG ’EM AGGIES!!! Football Mums— Personalized and Custom-Designed ■HSfOOTBALL LIQUOR SPECIALS!
