THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY. MAY 21, 1975
COLLEGE STATION — First
responses have begun coming in to
Texas A&M University economists
studying energy conservation this
summer in College Station.
The team began mailing letters
almost a week ago soliciting help
from residents in experiments to see
if household energy use is affected
when consumers are given conser
vation tips or have prices lowered as
the amount of energy they consume
is lowered.
Conducting the research, in
cooperation with College Station
Utilities, are Drs. John Kagel, R. C.
Battalio and R. C. Winkler along
with graduate student Mike
McDonald.
Part of the study involved paying
participants as they reduce the
amount of energy they use. The
second part is aimed at finding out
what happens if participants are
given the various packages of infor
mation prepared by the govern
ment and utility companies.
“At present, the price of energy
we use is actually reduced if we use
a lot. We want to see what happens
if the reverse occurs,” notes the
team.
The project is to run from mid-
June to mid-August.

Editor:
This is the only way I can think of
to get a message to all the tenants at
Monaco and Posada Apartments as I
know your paper is very popular
with them.
Last Sunday night we had the
misfortune of being flooded. When
the flooding started and all of the
management was in the middle of it,
I fully expected to be “tarred and
feathered” by the tenants. They
reacted completely in the reverse.
All the tenants joined in and helped
us push the water until the water
became too high. When we were
cleaning up the apartments the fol
lowing day, we had very few gripes
even though the tenants were
highly inconvienced. Their at
titudes were fantastic.
I will always be proud that these
young people are truly going to be
the “leaders of tomorrow. ”
My thanks and my respect go out
to the tenants of Monaco and Posada
Apartments.

Study reveals
most favor
mercy killings
COLLEGE STATION — More
than half the people responding to a
national survey said they favor some
form of legalized euthanasia, or so-
called “mercy killing,” states a
Texas A&M University sociologist
and analyst.
Dr. Jon Alston says the answers
from the survey demonstrate no dif
ference along sex lines. Fifty-four
percent of both men and women re-
spounding remarked they would
favor such a law. About a third of
those answering were in opposition.
Blacks showed significantly more
opposition, with 56 percent being
against legalized euthanasia and
about 40 percent favoring it.
