Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1975 Clayton addresses grads Even though the nation is celeb rating its bicentennial, the Ameri can revolution is not yet over, Texas House Speaker Bill Clayton told Texas A&M summer graduates Fri day night. “As have Aggies of the past, you must do your part for the continuing American revolution — for the con tinuing search to meet the needs of our dynamic society, ” Clayton told TAM U s record summer class of 854, including 264 students receiv ing master’s degrees and 82 earning doctorates. Twenty-seven of the graduates received military commissions in ceremonies conducted by Army Brig. Gen. Charles I. McGinnis, ranking officer in the Southwestern Division of the Corps of Engineers and a 1949 TAMU graduate. Speaker Clayton, a 1950 graduate, said that it is natural and healthy to question, particularly when the questioning is construc tive. “As you move into a new envi ronment, that of the total American society, you may question your purpose and the purpose of our country,” he said. “You will look at the world through the prism of your own experiences, and you will find the present always in some conflict with the past. “We must all call ourselves and our country into question, but we must also learn the lessons taught by experience,” he said. “We must preserve the independence of the youthful spirit and the continuing values of the past, for every future is shaped by the past.” Texas A&M has responded to America’s continuing revolution, the veteran legislator from Springlake told the summer graduates, adding that “it has pre- Gas siphon called ‘rape’ AUSTIN (AP) — Railroad com missioner Jim Langdon said Tues day it woidd be a “rape of Texans’ if the federal government siphons off Texas natural gas reserves to make up for shortages in other states this winter. Langdon said it had cost Texans $1 billion to build its reserves. He spoke to oil and gas men in the absence of chairman Ben Ramsey before announcing that the statewide oil allowable for Sep tember will be 100 per cent — the 42nd consecutive month of all-out production. As usual, the huge East Texas field was restricted by the Railroad Commission to 86 per cent produc tion to avoid possible waste. Nominations by crude oil buyers totaled 4,007,719 barrels a day for September, a decrease of 5,158 from August. Langdon said indications are that there will be a 15 per cent shortfall in interstate gas pipelines this winter, with states such as Pennsyl vania and Ohio experienceing shor tages of two to three times the na tional average. This shortage, Langdon said, means that federal agencies “will be looking at Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma for extra gas. He said Texas had “arrested the decline in intrastate gas” through an expensive drilling program that Texas consumers paid for “at a very high cost.” “It will be a rape of Texans and the intrastate market for that gas to be allocated out from under us,” said Langdon, an outspoken critic of many federal energy policies. “If it is a cold winter, and indica tions are that it will be, things are going to be pretty tough, gentle men, he added.

At the same time, the West Gulf Maritime Shippers Association was to return to court seeking a perma nent injunction to prevent the In ternational Longshoremen Associa tion from future work stoppages in volving Soviet grain purchases. Houston Longshoremen had stopped loading wheat aboard a Yugoslav vessel Monday arguing that the sale of U.S. grain to the Soviety Union would cause domes tic food prices to increase. ★★★★ Astronaut to have lung surgery HOUSTON (AP) —Astronaut Donald K. Slayton is scheduled to undergo exploratory surgery next Tuesday for a small left lung lesion, and a national Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman says “malignancy has not been ruled out. ” “That’s generally why you do the surgery,” he added. NASA announced the surgery Tuesday. Doctors immediately said that the lesion was not caused by gases he breathed during the Apollo-Soyuz splash-down last month. Slayton will enter the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Tumor Institute in Houston’s Medical Center on Monday. ★★★★ Chevron suing Exxon GALVESTON (AP)—Chevron Oil Co. filed a half million dollar damage suit against Exxon Corp. and a tanker company Tuesday to recover losses it said were incurred in the collision last Friday of a tanker ship and an offshore drilling platform. The suit named as defendants the tanker Globtik Sun, Globtik Tan kers Ltd., Exxon Corp. and Stan dard Tankers Co. Ltd. of the Bahamas. The tanker Globtik Sun rammed a Chevron offshore drilling platform off the Louisiana coast last Friday and caught fire. The crew aban doned ship. Three were later found dead on board the vessel and three others are missing. ★★★★ Independent oilmen challenge law DALLAS (AP) — A state judge has scheduled hearings for Monday and Wednesday on a suit filed by several oil and gas companies against the State Securities Com mission. The companies have filed suits in an effort to have the State Securities Act declared unconstitutional. District Court Judge Ted Robertson will hear arguments Monday by attorneys for the Texas Securities Commission and the At torney General’s office. They con tend the suits should be dismissed on the grounds the state court does not have jurisdiction. ★★★★ Carillo indicated on theft count SAN DIEGO (AP) — Suspended State District Court Judge O. P. Carrillo and his office clerk, Jose Saenz, are free on $5,000 bond each after today following their indict ments Tuesday on one count of theft each. They were arrested Tuesday in Benavides and San Diego in Duval County. The Jim Wells County grand jury in Alice had returned the theft indictments earlier that day to District Judge C. Woodrow Laughlin, who set the bond. The indictments allege Carrillo and Saenz used Duval County funds to pay for repairs made on their cars in a Jim Wells County repair shop. ★★★★ LUBBOCK (AP) — The Cana dian government airlifted 74 tons of insecticide from Lubbock to its Manitoba Province over the weekend in effort to stem the out break of encephalitis. The insecticide is used against combat mosquitoes which spread the disease. It was available here because of the large supplies of pesticides and chemical fertilizers used in West Texas agriculture. A Canadian DCS cargo plane de livered the chemical. ★★★★ Parr still trying to get out MIDLAND (AP) — The hearing to determine whether former Duval County Judge Archer Parr should be freed on bond pending his appeal of a federal perjury conviction was scheduled by U.S. District Court Judge D. W. Suttle for 3:30 p.m. today. Parr family ally Praxedis Canales put up $121,500 Aug. 7 as a possible substitute for the bond money withdrawn by South Texas rancher-banker Clinton Manges. Exercise better than alcohol? COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) People who like to wind down from a hard day’s work with a cocktail or two might find more relaxation in physical exercise, according to a University of Maryland study. Alcohol may appear to relieve physical tension but its effect is only mental, report associate health pro fessors Dorothy and Daniel Girdano and graduate assistant Richard Ya- rian. “The alcohol, a depressant drug, affects the central nervous system and, psychologically, the drinker feels better and more relaxed after a drink,” Dorothy Girdano said. “In actuality, the body may be very tense,” she said. “If relaxation is the goal after a stressful day, it is better for the person to engage in physical exercise than to sit and drink.” The researchers said they drew their conclusions from a study in volving 15 university students in a ^ drinking group and 12 others in a control group. TTI to hold workshop The Texas Transportation Insti tute (TTI) at TAMU will conduct a Traffic Engineering Short School at Mesquite, September 9-11.

The subjects will be taught by TAMU professors, Milton Radke, a researcher with TTI, and Associate Professor of Finance Jim Dozier. $ 1 ji^ NEW YORK (AP) — Nine out of 10 women under |:j: the age of 25 who participated in a survey on sex said they •$ j:|i had had premarital intercourse, Redbook magazine said :£ Tuesday. g: “The overwhelming majority of young, middle-class gj women no longer subscribe to the sexual double standard §: and instead consider sexual experience part of growing up j;:; ;i$ as it has always been for young men, ” the magazine said. $ The findings of the sex research study were based on gj replies to 60 questions on sex printed in last October’s |:j: issue of the magazine. 01100,000 replies, 18,349 were analyzed.
