Insects could be one of the best food sources in the future because their high content of protein and minerals, according to Mexican searcher Julieta Ramos Elorduy Blazquez de Conconi, an inves- ;ator at the Biology Institute of the National Autonomous Univer- ty of Mexico. She said insects contain the largest amount of protein in any form of lima! life that is currently not used by man as food. The researcher added that insects would make an ideal food source :cause they can be easily reproduced and industrially processed. By DOUG GRAHAM Battalion Staff A program for gifted children and a name change for the A&M Con solidated School District provided College Station’s school board with Israelis may sign agreement United Press International Israeli sources said Monday the Cabinet was likely to approve a U. S.-sponsored draft treaty with Egypt if President Anwar Sadat dropped demands for a timetable implementing Palestinian autonomy on the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. But there were reports from Cairo that Sadat had hardened his position, and revived a joint Arab military pact that would obligate Egypt to fight alongside any country attacked by Israel. The Israeli Cabinet was to resume debate today on the draft treaty and was likely to endorse Prime Minis ter Menachem Begin’s rejection of a timetable and an Egyptian presence in Gaza, sources said. The sources said it appeared likely the Cabinet would endorse the U.S.-drafted treaty as presented to it by Defense Minister Ezer Weizman on Oct. 25. Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, supported by Begin and Weizman, Sunday recommended the Cabinet approve the draft even though the ministers questioned some of the language, sources said. Israel should tell Egypt it is ready to sign the treaty and then begin negotiations on a timetable after the pact is signed, sources said Dayan told the Cabinet. He said he thought Egypt would endorse this. “There is reason to hope the U.S. administration will stand behind the paper (draft) inspired by President Carter,” one source said. “We don’t think the Americans will renounce their own draft after three weeks.” When asked what would happen if the Americans backed off from its own draft because of Egyptian de mands, the source responded, “Then we ll be in trouble.” The Cabinet discussed the peace treaty for five hours but did not reach a decision.

Teachers working with the tal ented child program reported that special education for gifted students is developing satisfactorily in the school district, and that im provements to the system are ex pected as more staff members are trained to handle the expanding program. Currently, the program uses test ing and teacher recommendations to form cluster groups of talented stu dents in the second through fifth grades. A special staff is undergoing training to identify gifted students, learn how to best develop the pro gram, and guide special students’ education. A spokesman for the program said work is continuing to determine more accurate tests for locating tal ented students and define the needs of those children, as well as the means to teach them. School board members were told that the program will soon try to utilize special classes, early entrance programs, field trips and independent studies to further its scope, but financial restrictions still need to be dealt with in areas of ma terials and salaries. The school board took no action on the progress report. The special students staff will meet in February 1979 with members of the commu nity to analyze the program. While teachers work with develop ing the talented children program, other students and faculty are engaging in a simmering con troversy over the name of the school district. A short vote of teachers and high school students showed 57 teachers for retaining the present name, while 99 favored a change to the College Station Independent School District. Students, on the other hand, voted 734 to 101 to keep the name. The validity of the student vote was questioned by high school stu dent council president Rocky Path, who said most students voted the way their friends did because there was little debate on the subject. A student council member said she had drawn up another poll to be distributed after the issue has been discussed with students and the school board voted to defer the name change until more results have been gathered. The delay has affected the renam ing of A&M Consolidated Middle School. “Middle” is expected to be replaced by “junior high,” but the final name has not been decided.
