The Texas Senate has passed a
resolution noting Texas A&M senior
Kim Tomes’ selection as Miss USA.
Senator William T. “Bill” Moore, a
fellow Aggie, sponsored the resolu
tion.
Miss Tomes is quoted in the reso
lution as exlcaiming immediately
after being crowned: “What a
shocker! 1 can t believe it! The first
Aggie to be Miss USA!”
The resolution says she has
“brought national recognition to the
coeducational policy” at Texas
A&M. “In the true spirit of Aggie-
land, Miss Tomes, a 21-year-old
blue-eyed blonde, is already on the
road scouting out the opposition she
may be up against in the Miss Uni
verse contest in the Dominican Re
public on July 16,’ the resolution
states.

welfare program in Texas which

cipients.

nuclear power operations
United Press International
WASHINGTON — An environ
mental group says atomic power
represents “a bargain we can’t af
ford” because state regulators let
electric utilities charge consumers
for nuclear plant cost overruns and
the price of substitute fuels used
during reactor shutdowns.
If utility stockholders rather than
consumers had to pay for those extra
costs, nuclear power would not be
economical, the Environmental Ac
tion Foundation (EAF) said in a re
port released Monday.
Utility industry officials challenge
many of the foundation’s claims.
They say the high cost overruns
cited by the EAF often are caused
by plant construction delays that re
sult from environmental challenges.
In a new handbook spelling out
ways to fight atomic power, the
EAF said citizens can effectively
challenge the economics of nuclear
reactors as well as such traditional
issues as plant safety and siting.
The 98-page handbook, titled
“Nuclear Power: The Bargain We
Can’t Afford,’ said economic chal
lenges already have slowed reactor
development in Maine and Iowa
and have provided safeguards for
consumers in Pennsylvania and
Alabama.
“We need an honest reassess
ment of nuclear power’s economics
before we plunge into . . . an am
bitious expansion program,” said
Richard Morgan, author of the
handbook, noting President Car
ter’s energy plan calls for increased
reliance on atomic energy.
Morgan, who has written several
other books on how consumers can
challenge electric utilities, focused
criticism on the cost of nuclear
plants and provisions that allow
utilities to charge consumers extra
when they must buy coal or oil for
power during times when atomic
reactors are shut down.
“When a reactor is shut down or
derated unexpectedly, the utility
must locate an alternative source of
power,” Morgan said. “Most
utilities can generate their own re
placement power at an idle coal or
oil-fired plant, hut at a substantial
increase in fuel costs.
“The fuel clause permits a utilitx
to pass these increased costs to its
customers immediately. Without
this provision, the cost of replace
ment fuel would he absorbed by the
utility’s stockholders — at least until
the next rate increase is permitted.
