THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1979 Page 7 hotos ow orror ’ United Press International WASHINGTON — From five niles up in the sky, you can look iown and see the straggling line of aple, walking towards a walled ticlosure and a handsome, ranch- [>e building that looks like a motel et off a turnpike. Behind the building, surrounded |y M:arefully manicured lawn, is a j||ge looking structure with vents |i the roof. Back of that is a bigger, jment-block structure with a “stack; to the side, a sort of nkpouse. And there, down to the right, is a ailroad spur, branching off from the jiain line. The complex, enclosed ^Rurity fences, looks like a huge my camp. But this is no military compound. > i*> is the depths of hell — the home f th£ Holocaust. The se details can be seen in aerial econnaissance photographs taken n 1944 by American, British and iouth African airmen of tuschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi ex- ermination camp. An estimated 2 million to 3.5 mil- ion men, women and children — nostly Jews — were gassed and heir emaciated bodies incinerated it the Polish death camp. Incredibly, the airmen did not lin CW 7 5 >nger» er, av major cigar outer aside mow what they were photograph- ng. Their target was not Auschwitz - which looked like a prisoner of var Scamp — but the frequently jombed I.G. Farben works five niles distant. It turned out the lynthe tic oil and rubber for the Nazi iVorld War II machine. Using sophisticated equipment ind techniques not available to the ikingsrLtelligence experts of World War a wantji and with the hindsight knowl- ;dge of what happened at “""“Auschwitz-Birkenau, two CIA photo inalysts have been able to chart the oamp and pinpoint exactly where the horrors were perpetrated 35 ('ears ago. The two intelligence analysts, Dino A. Brugioni and Robert Poirier, presented their findings at a pews conference last week, using huge enlargements of the reconnais sance photographs taken so long It was a chilling experience to look down” and watch Auschwitz me alive. First, there would be the high altitude shot showing a wide area — the extermination camp appearing, comparatively, stamp-sized on a postcard. Then came the enlargments, big ger and bigger, details — people down there. They could be seen walking naked to the back of the motel-like building and into the gas chamber. There, behind hermetically sealed loots, they would be exposed to le- ^■Zyclon-B gas emitted from ceil- ingjshower heads.” Fellow inmates would enter — their turn would come later — to haul the pitiful bodies to the crematorium. And the chimney would belch out its mes- ige of execution. One picture shows new arrivals ismounting from the box cars that rought them from all parts of urope. The figures moving one ay from the train were destined for e ovens; the more physically fit ere headed for slave labor. The two intelligence experts said they became interested in the sub ject of Nazi concentration camps after seeing the television presenta tion "Holocaust.” )f >y m ict st what’s up Friday MUSLIM STUDENT’S ASSOCIATION: The presentation of “Islam — There Is No God But God” at 6:30 p.m. in Room 701, Rudder Tower, today and Saturday.

Kent said the camp will have two purposes. One is to provide a serv ice to the people of Texas, in a set ting of excellent facilities and qual ified directors. The second purpose is to raise revenue for his tennis program, a program he feels will be sucessful. The camp will be held in three six-day sessions. The first session will run from June 10-16, the second from June 17-23, and the third from July 8-14. Each section will feature advanced, intermediate and begin ner classes. The camp will cost $200 per per son. This will include housing in one of the Texas A&M’s dormitories, board, instruction and all other ac tivities. Five hours of tennis work out will be required each day, and a progress sheet will be given to each player. Each session of the camp will be filled on a first come/first served basis. Kent came to Texas A&M from West Texas State University, where Night terrors can increase heart beat to 170 in short time United Press International CHICAGO — Night terrors, a form of nightmare, can increase heart beat from 60-80 beats per minute to 170 or more in a few min utes, say sleep experts at a Chicago mattress manufacturer. Such terrors occur most often in 3- to 5-year- olds, but can continue into adult hood, and there is no sure way of preventing them, the experts add. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ he set up similar camps in addition to his coaching duties. In nine years at West Texas State, he won six Missouri Valley Conference cham pionships while compiling a 200-62 won-loss record. Kent will be assisted by Dr. Ron nie Smith, tennis coach at Campbellsville College, Ky., as well as by leading collegiate players. Brazos County applicants who do not wish to use room and board will be charged a reduced fee of $100. Kent said that living and eating to gether during the six days is an im portant part of the experience, how ever, and added it would be more valuable for the players to take ad vantage of it.
