Boxing Between TAMU Organizations, Dorms, Fraternities & Corp of Cadets OVER 80 ENTRIES £7o'w S r : 150 KEGS OF $1.50 NON STUDENT BEER United Press International AUSTIN — Oil industry execu tives were unanimous Tuesday in advising the federal government to deregulate prices. Executives from 23 oil and gas companies and drilling associations, including all the major oil com panies, testified before the Railroad Commission at Texas’ annual “state of the industry” oil and gas meeting at a local hotel. “As a businessman, I don’t need the government to tell me when I’m charging too much,” Texaco Presi dent John K. McKinley said. “The consumer tells me that through his purchasing decisions. “I do need someone to tell me just what government officials mean by windfall profits, or obscure profits or a just price. “If the government chooses to tax us (the oil industry) for so-called windfall profits, will they then reim burse us for windfall losses?” McKin ley asked. The president of Mobil Oil Corp.’s U.S. Division, Allen E. Murray, agreed that today’s energy problems are caused by over-regu lation. “We can continue to rely on regu lation to implement an energy policy ,or we can return to the free market system, ” Murray said. “It’s clear that regulation has failed.” The Mobil executive, along with others at the meeting, also blamed fluctuating government energy policies and an ever-increasing de pendence on foreign oil for a worsen ing energy shortage in the United States. Most warned that a crisis situation could develop this year because of the cutback in Iranian oil exports un less strong conservation measures are developed. L. A. Ramsey, executive vice pres ident of Gulf Oil Exploration and Production Co., warned, “We could begin to approach crisis conditions as early as October of this year if sub stantial Iranian supplies are not available. “If there is one lesson we, in the United States, should have learned by now, it is the lesson that serious conservation does not occur without the persuasive factor of higher prices.” Other executives gave recom mendations for conservation and for passing laws to encourage increased production in the United States. But the most pervasive recommendation from the oil industry was clearly spo ken by the executive vice president of Exxon Co. “One of the most effective actions would be to eliminate the outmoded federal government controls on crude oil and petroleum products that have been in place since 1971,” Exxon’s F.C. Ackmar said. Registration required of reporters? MARCH 23RD at 6:00 p.m. MARCH 24TH at t :00 p.m. BRAZOS COUNTY PAVILLION \ Hey Cheese Lovers! Dairy Science Club Jalepeno Cheese Sale is in Progress Kleberg Center &'$?• 845-4424 United Press International BOSTON — The Massachusetts House gave initial approval to a bill that would require investigative news reporters to register as private detectives. But Monday’s initial House ap proval may prove to be the first step in an effort to kill the measure, which has been denounced as unconstitu tional by at least two news media associations. The bill, already passed by the Massachusetts Senate, requires cer tain news reporters and photo graphers to pay the state Depart ment of Public Safety a $750 private detective registration fee and to obey laws regulating detectives’ conduct. The measure would extend the state’s definition of a private detec tive to include reporters who do not identify themselves as such while re searching stories and photographers who use cameras for surveillance of subjects of such stories. In voting its preliminary ac ceptance, the House turned the bill over to a committee responsible for reviewing all legislation before final action is scheduled in the House and Rep. Philip Johnston, an opponent of the bill, said, “... it will never come out. Johnson said the House leadership determined that the bill could be killed most effectively in the com mittee, rather than in a vote on the House floor. “If you debate something like that in this place, it might pass and this governor might sign it — with re lish,” he said. Gov. Edward J. King’s relation ship with the Statehouse press corps has been tense ever since he launched his campaign for the job last year. The bill was introduced by Sen. Denis L. McKenna, who has filed related legislation to require re porters who cover the Legislature to submit annual financial disclosure statements to the secretary of state. (Hwy. 6 at Tabor Rd.)
