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. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ * 2000 * E. 29th SKYWAY TWIN The Corps of Cadets gets its news from the Batt. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WEST 7:15-10:25 DRIVE-IN MASSACRE ALSO AT 8:50 C.B.

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 Unitec : WASH IN !
