• HE BAT i ALIGN Paqe 7 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1973 Carter-Sadat meeting continues United Press International CAMP DAVID, Md. — President Carter and Egyptian President An war Sadat met again Tuesday on a refined Israeli proposal dealing with the future of the West Bank of the •Jordan River, summit conference sources disclosed. Tuesday s Carter-Sadat discussion got under way at 10 a.m. and sources said an official Egyptian response to the Israeli offer would not come be fore that conversation ends. It was also learned that Sadat tele phoned Jordan s King Hussein in London Monday in an apparent ef fort to sound out the Arab monarch on the new proposals involving West Bank sovereignty. The West Bank territory, now occupied by Israel, was formerly governed by Jordan. In the past, Sadat has supported Jordanian sovereignty over the West Bank. Egyptian sources said Monday the West Bank issue plus the Gaza strip are the principal differences be tween Egypt and Israel. In a related development, it was disclosed that a scheduled meeting 'between the American and Egyptian ministerial delegations, scheduled for 9 p.m. Monday, was canceled without any official explanation. That meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the White House. Disclosure of the Sadat-Hussein telephone call led to a spate of re ports that Hussein was standing by perhaps to fly to Camp David. White House officials insisted, however, there is no plan for Hussein to join the summit. As for the proposal itself, informed sources said the Israelis had reformu lated their offer and presented it to Sadat on Monday for his considera tion. Sources also said each of the three participating delegations have been asked to draft documents indicating how far they have progressed in re solving the key issues. Officials indicated Tuesday the summit may run as late as Thursday, or possibly later. Carter, according to these officials, does not want any arbitrary deadline to hang over the talks if there is a chance of reaching an agreement that will give way to further peace negotiations. On Monday, U.S. spokesman Jody Powell told reporters the talks have moved into “an intense and de tailed phase to see if approaches can be found to deal with the important differences that remain.” The conferees, said Powell, are also “trying to refine areas where there is agreement.

Wagner Tynes iy ‘prui, prut blind-folded it’s hard to lose New Games United Press International Man FRANCISCO — The way fince Lombardi, the late, great ^■ball coach, put it: “Winning isn’t Rrything, it’s the only thing. |But then Lombardi never played Mi, or Infinity Volleyball or any of Pother New Games that are teach - H enthusiasts it can be better to lose RVhen people focus on the joy of Wying, there are no losers, say Mponents of New Gamesmanship. ■They fly in the face of the credo Vt competition made the country great and the flag respected. But New Games are growing anyway, say the founders. ®0ne of the first New Games inven tors is Stewart Brand, publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog which caught the spirit of the young in the late 1960s. I Brand says he thought up the first New Games Tournament “out of shrieking boredom, my own and the jpredom of other people, and that’s raw material for any innova- pOne of his first games was World B/ar IV, later called Slaughter, in which players try to do six or seven things simultaneously — knock each Other off a mat while placing basket balls in waste baskets — while the women try to depant the men. ■n this atmosphere the loser turns out to be the center of attention, the star of the event. Prui is an elimination game in which blindfolded players jump around saying “prui, prui” until the last of the species is left. “The loser is the hero,’ says Brand, who does not regard losing as a bad thing. Infinity Volleyball is a collective effort to keep a ball in the air to communal shouts of "68, 69, 70 .” The loser gets good-natured laughs. “Personally, I am dubious about any situation in life in which it is not okay to make mistakes,” Brand says. “Unless we make mistakes, things can t get better. Since their birth in 1973, New Games have won 200,000 followers, spreading into churches and schools. They are more of an attitude than a specific group of games. People of all ages can play, there is no second team, nobody gets hurt and there’s lots of creativity. New Games tend to be invented spon taneously. The idea is to experience coopera tion as partners rather than as com petitors. The hope is to create new perspectives on how to work and live with other people. Thus, a crowd of New Games en thusiasts can spend hours keeping an Earthball — a large globe of the world made of heavy canvas — bouncing in the air through hard breathing and alert, cooperative ef fort. Or the Earthball can be used com petitively, as when one group lies on its back encircled by a pickup team. Those on their backs try to kick the ball over the heads of the standing team. The standees, using only their hands, try to keep the ball in the circle. Some other activities are a tag game called Snake in the Grass in which everybody winds up on the ground wiggling and hissing, Stan doff in which two persons face-to- face try to push each other off ba lance, and People Pass in which a person is hoisted and passed over head along a double line and, as Brand says, “everybody gets a ride. ” This kind of sport is encouraged by the New Games Foundation of San Francisco, a non-profit organization which organizes weekend training programs around the country. Brand is a foundation founder but is no longer formally connected with it. He puts out the Coevolution Quarterly and serves Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. as a parttime consultant organizing public events and think tank sessions in which Brown meets offbeat but prestigious personalities. Originally, Brand thought of New Games “rather grandiosely, as a way to reinvest in the culture the idea that rules keep needing too be changed. ” Now he sees New Games “as just another ingredient on the shelf for loosening up a tight society. It’s just another of the legacies of the 1960s. ” LADIES NITE EVERY WEDNESDAY 1 / 2 PRICE RINKS FOR EVERYBODY GAL’S — NO COVER GUY’S — $1.50 COVER 7:30-12:00 GALS ENJOY NO COVERS AND GUYS ENJOY GALS THE Maroon& White IS COMING Outfitters! ?! 313B South College in the Skaggs Shopping Center/ College Station ^ Found Red female Irish setter in the Corps quad on Thursday.
