United Press International OTTAWA — Canada’s federal rovernment has introduced ’mergency energy legislation that vill permit it to ration oil and !asoline supplies to all consumers. I still think the oil situation is a nanagable one and I don't think we 1 need the authority to use the ” Energy Minister Alastair Gil- espiesaid. “But it is better to be on uard against further problems in ran and possible problems in the tiiddle East.” Gillespie told the House of lommons the emergency act “will ive the government the power to [locate crude oil to five Canadian egions, industries, and if necessary itroduce a rationing system to the onsumer.’’ The act, which can be im- lemented as soon as passed by Par- janient, will be applied under an itemational agreement to take ae on if supplies to Western nations ecut by 7 percent. The Iranian political crisis has cut odd supplies 5 percent. Canadian applies also have been affected by a ecision by Exxon to reduce the ow of Venezuelan oil to its Cana- ian subsidiary Imperial by 22 per- nt. Gillespie has demanded Im- erial resume full shipments. The legislation will divide Canada to five regions — the Maritimes, uebec, Ontario, the Prairies and ritish Columbia — and allocate ich a certain amount of oil. If further actions are needed to eal with the oil shortages created the suspension of shipments from ivolution-torn Iran, the govern- ent will have the power to regu- teoil supplies to industry. Rationing for individual consum- s would be considered only as a st resort, an Energy Ministry lurce said.

FEBRUARY 19, 1979 Club sells 78 unclaimed bikes ‘hogs in’ on Animal Pavilion By PHYLLIS PONDER Battalion Reporter Nearly 100 people braved the ice and the aroma of hogs Saturday to buy 78 bicycles from the Texas A&M Wheelmen’s Club. The hogs and bikes met in the Animal Science Pavilion. The bikes were there for an auction sponsored by the club. The hogs were there in connection with an animal science class. They met when the club was forced by the cold weather to move the auction of abandoned hikes from the Grove to the pavilion. The bicycles were picked up on campus by the University Police after being abandoned. The police advertised to try to find the hikes’ owners. If they got no response within seven months, the bikes were put up for auction. “To my surprise all the bicycles were sold,” Brent Johnson, presi dent of the club said. Nearly all the bicycles needed some kind of re pair. Most of them had rusty chains and bent wheels, but could be ride- able with a little work, Johnson said. The highest bid was $85 for a 10- speed Raleigh Grand Prix. Johnson said this particular bicycle looked like a stolen one since it had been spray-painted silver. It was also in better condition than most of the others. One 10-speed bicycle in poorer condition than the others sold for only $4. “Even thought it was the cheapest, it was still a good deal,” Johnson said. The money from the auction to taled $2032.25. The money will be divided up between the campus chest, the bicycle account, with most of it going to the MSC Craft Shop. Fifty dollars will go to John Fisher, the auctioneer. Fisher, an animal science major, auctioneers as a sideline. They call it a Fish Pond Well, why else would the Fish Pond have been called the Fish Pond? Last Thursday, this buffalo carp drifted around all afternoon, much more dead than alive. It finally disappeared as mysteriously as it got there.
