The cadets estimated that perhaps half of the entire 4,421 member cadet wing knows about cheating and doesn’t report it, al though they are sworn to an honor code that makes them as guilty as the cheaters for not reporting violations. Edward Porrazo, who dropped out of the academy last December in his junior year, said he believes conditions at the school won’t im prove unless they are dealt with publicly. He said an overhwhelming need to succeed forces some cadets to cheat and that unrealistic demands on their free time, coupled with the academy’s heavy academic load, worsen the situation. “The academy believes that tradi tion is the solution to everything,” he said. “They figure it worked at West Point so it’s got to work here. What they fail to realize is that the cadets of 1879 are not the cadets of 1979.” Porrazzo said he resigned from the academy because he was denied permission to write a novel about activities inside the school. He has since written the book, “A Different Pledge of Honor,” and said he ex pects it to be published in the spring. Tallman said past and present cadets who talked to the News may have done so merely to air personal grievances or because of bitterness toward the system. “We could not have as much cheating as these people have al leged without more individuals being turned in for honor violations,” he said. “The system as it is designed would not permit wide-scale collusion without others, who have integrity, knowing about it.” Oil prices hurting employment United Press International WASHINGTON — Labor Secre tary Ray Marshall said Sunday the national unemployment rate could reach 6.5 percent in 1980 as a result of the increased price of oil. “It’s possible for us to hit 6.5 per cent during 1980,’’ Marshall said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Na tion” program. “I don’t think we’ll hit it during 1979. And I don’t think it’s possible to predict from month to month what’s likely to happen.” Marshall noted the rate has stayed around 5.6 percent and 5.7 percent during 1979, “and I think those figures are likely to continue. “There is a possibility, and we all expect it because of the drain on economy as a result of the OPEC energy price increases, that we will get some inflationary pressure and some rise in unemployment as re sult of this process,” Marshall said. i h recem ignals w i will be Voyagen 3 sophisl le 565-I and as can be used to push coal United Press International 1ASPER, Wyo. — An East Coast jiJ i reports it has successfully com- ted laboratory tests using tefied carbon dioxide instead of ertopump crushed coal through elines, a process backers say will rive a major political battle in the li-arid but coal-rich West.

Ed rschler vetoed plans by another Nation, downstream on the Little Big Horn. C.J. Santhanam, a senior staff member for Little, said a liquefied- gas slurry line could be operating in 5 to 10 years, depending on its length. “It obviates all the problems of water slurries and keeps all the ben efits of coal slurry pipelines,” Hor ton said. Researchers said the needed car bon dioxide would be produced by burning a portion of the coal at the slurrying plant. Moreover, the pres sure required to maintain the gas in liquid form is about the same needed in water-based lines, Santh anam said. But Burlington Northern Vice President Ernest Thurlow said a carbon dioxide slurry line would probably be too expensive and would fail to provide a “near-term solution.” He added, however, that he was unfamiliar with details of the process. ETSI spokesman Frank Odasz said his company would be “de lighted to compete” with carbon dioxide pipelines. In Houston, a Texas Eastern spokesman said his firm would continue its search for a water supply rather than wait for full development of the liquified gas process. Nevertheless, Santhanam said: “We believe we are going to prove this technology within two or three years.” In a related development in Laramie, Wyo., a University of Wyoming political science professor said a recent public opinion poll in dicates support for slurry pipelines may have increased in Wyoming. Oliver Walter said 36 percent of those responding to the survey fa vored a pipeline, an increase of 12 percentage points over the ac ceptance level of three years ago. Opposition, he said, dropped from 54 percent three years ago to 46 percent. The poll, completed in July by UW’s Center for Governmental Re search, was conducted on behalf of ETSI. Walter said 600 persons were surveyed and poll-takers received an 85 percent response. The sample was derived from random selection of names in telephone directories. He said the survey results had a built-in sampling error of 5 percent. ried 11S , S °)' npany, Texas Eastern Transmis- e 5 nine., for a $1.8 billion pipeline , (would have used water from the i° P j 1 ' tie Big Horn River in northern °, re / e -oming.
