U. S. balance drops
despite high oil cost
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The U.S. ba
lance of payments owed to the rest of
the world shrank to $317 million in
1979, the Commerce Department
reported Thursday — which is vir
tually the zero balance the adminis
tration had hoped to have.
Compared to deficits of $14 billion
in 1977 and $13.5 billion in 1978, the
figure for 1979 was a dramatic im
provement. It occurred despite a
doubling of petroleum prices and an
$18 billion rise in this country’s bill
for foreign oil.
The payments are determined by
the amount of U.S. exports mea
sured against the amount of its im
ports. The sharp improvement in the
payments balance is expected to
strengthen the dollar.

The so-called current account fi
gures include U.S. trade with the
rest of the world, sale and purchase
of purchases, tourism, government
foreign aid and other money transac
tions.
Early last year, before oil prices
went up, the administration had
hoped for a substantial surplus in
1979.
What was good news for the Un
ited States was bad news for some
other major countries. Japan and
Germany, both more dependent on
foreign oil than the United States,
are expected to move from large sur
plus balances in 1978 to large deficits
in 1979.
U.S. government economists esti
mate the 13 Organization of Pet
roleum Exporting countries have
gone from a $7 billion surplus in 1978
to a $65 billion surplus in 1979.
The United States ran a deficit of
$900 million in the last quarter of
1979, the Commerce Department
said, after a $1.1 billion surplus in
the third quarter. About two-thirds
of the shift was due to an increase of
$1.3 billion in the merchandise trade
deficit.
Stadium lights
may be ticket sign
By SHEKKY WOODARD
Campus Reporter
Because students assumed that
some home basketball games
were full when, in fact, seats re
mained in G. Rollie White Col
iseum, Athletic Director Marvin
Tate has an idea that might eli
minate future misunderstandings
about seat availability.
Tate said his idea is to use the
Kyle Field stadium lights as a way
of telling students before a game
that seats are still available.
Tate said that he thought Kyle
Field is very visible from all parts
of the campus.
“We could take some of our
banks of lights and figure out a
system where when it (G. Rollie
White) was empty, all the lights
would be on. When it was 25 per
cent full, cut one bank of lights
off. In other words, have a gradu
ated system so that when it was
dark, it was full.”
Tate said, “I don’t believe
there was another game (besides
Arkansas) that we played that was
completely full. And I just feel
like with the team we had and the
record they had we should be fil
led to capacity at the ball games."
Tate said the coliseum wasnl
being filled because students
thought the coliseum was
when it wasn’t. He said that he
felt that part of the reason was
that students do not want to get in
line at 2 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game.
“1 can understand that. 1
wouldn’t want to stand in line
three or four hours when I could
be studying.’’
During the season, the col
iseum doors usually opened ato
p. m.
Tate said that he would like to
come up with some method of
letting the students “convenient
ly” know that the coliseum still
has seats available. Tate says that
with this system, he feels that if a
students sees the lights, he
might say, “Hey! The coliseum
isn’t full, let’s go over and see the
game.”
He said the idea was ''thrown
out to the student senate.
“It’s kind of a ridiculous idea,’
Tate said, “But you know some
times when you brainstorm yon
come up with something useful
