College jl the U.S. Embassy advising that the fence, to be built along parts of the border near San Diego and El Paso, was being postponed “with a view of carrying out an analysis of the impli cations of this matter.” The embassy spokeswoman said as far as she knew, there are only plans to repair existing fences along the border and possible plans for building a new, six-mile fence. Critis of the proposal on both sides of the border already have dubbed the fence the “Tortilla Cur tain.” On Wednesday, Annie Gutierrez, head of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service office in Mexico City, said the INS planned only to replace six miles of existing fence and to build six miles of new fence at El Paso, Texas, and San Ysidro, Calif., the two areasul, the largest number of illeg sings occur. Another 7.5-mile section mat built in Arizona in the future, said. Funds for the 12 miles ollf were requested in June 19: were approved by the U S, gress for the fiscal year 1978 she said. Up 10 percent in one year Auto operating costs soar United Press International DETROIT — The cost of owning and operating a typical new car in 1978 surged upward more than 10 percent to an average of 33.1 cents per mile or $3,310 a year, a study by the Hertz Corp. shows. The annual survey released Sun day by the car rental and leasing firm was based on a normally equip ped, intermediate-size two-door sedan driven 10,000 miles a year and kept for three years. Comparable 1977 costs amounted to 30.1 cents a mile or $3,010 a year, a 7 percent increase over the pre ceding year, Hertz said. Expenses estimated in the study included outlays for fuel, oil, parts. service, repairs, licenses, fees, in terest and depreciation — the dif ference between a car’s purchase price and resale value. Hertz said since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, new car costs have climbed more than 64 percent, out pacing by more than one-third a 46.4 percent rise in the Consumer Price Index during the period. Most of the 1978 increase was at tributed to higher interest rates and insurance premiums — both now more than double their 1973 levels — Hertz said. Interest on auto loans climbed from an average 3.08 cents per mile in 1977 to 4.13 cents in 1978, a 34 percent increase for the 12 months MSC CAMERA COMMITTEE FALL PHOTO CONTEST MSC CAMERA COMMITTEE FALL PHOTO CONTEST Entry pick-up tables in MSC on Nov. 6, 7, and 8, 1978.
