■ solar energy use in homes
By PETE HALE
City Reporter
Energy conservation through pas
sive solar design in new home con
struction will he the topic of a Texas
Energy Extension Service (TEES)
seminar to be held tonight at 7:30
p.m. in room 15 of the Oakwood
Middle School.
Sponsored in conjunction with the
Community Education Department
of the A&M Consolidated Indepen
dent School District, the free semi
nar is open to anyone. Home buil
ders and prospective home buyers
are particularly encouraged to
attend.
Paul Woods, assistant professor of
building construction at Texas A&M
University, will discuss the passive
solar design system. Woods is cur
rently designing and constructing a
house of this type as part of a solar
demonstration grant from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The grant, one of 100
nationwide, was awarded to Dwayne
Rhea, local builder and realtor.
Woods said the principle charac
teristic of a passive solar design sys
tem is that it does not require mecha
nical means to circulate air. The
house is built to collect and transfer
heat in the winter, he said, and to
take advantage of cooling breezes
and shade in the summer.
Woods said there is a growing
trend in the industry to design and
construct more energy efficient
homes.
“Passive solar houses are designed
for a more favorable interaction with
the environment,” he said.
The house will feature extra glass
on the south side and additional win
dow areas on the north. This design
allows heat from sunlight to be trap
ped and collected during the winter
through a “greenhouse effect. In
the summer, both the south and
north windows are opened to allow a
natural breeze to cool the house.
Shade along the east and way,
will also help keep tempera^
down.
Woods said the purpose i
project is to build and sellaliJ
that will reduce annual energyij
penses by about 40 percent. | ; L

between Attica, Santa Fe riots
United Press International
A husky man knelt beside a little
boy. Both wept.
“God took daddy away,” the man
gently told his nephew. Inside the
church, funeral services were about
to begin for the boy’s father, a prison
guard killed in the Attica riot.
Forty-three prison employees and
inmates died in the Sept. 9-13, 1971,
riot at New York state’s maximum
security prison. A shocked nation
vowed there never would be another

Attica.
Yet it happened again this
weekend, hundreds of miles away.
There are striking similarities be
tween what occurred in Attica, N. Y.,
and at the New Mexico State
Penitentiary near Santa Fe. But
there also are some key differences
— decisions and events that may, in
themselves, be responsible for spar
ing the lives of the guards taken hos
tage in the latest uprising.
The principle issues involved at
both prisons were the same — over
crowding and general harsh treat
ment of prisoners by guards.
Both prisons were in turmoil for
days preceding the uprisings.
As the rioting started, both sets of
inmates seized prison employees as
hostages. Fires were set.
Both issued a long list of demands
for better treatment. At both institu
tions, there were rumors of atrocities
committed by convicts, and upon
other convicts. Some stories were
true.
Inmates at both prisons demanded
face-to-face confrontations with the
governor. New York’s Nelson Rock
efeller refused to go to Attica. New
Mexico’s Bruce King went to the
prison but did not meet with the con
victs.
New Mexico prisoners wielded
meat cleavers and homemade knives
when they seized the penitentiary.
There are other similarities be
tween the two riots, but it may be
that what did happen in New York
and what did not happen in New
Mexico is responsible for the fact that
