Nuclear waste piling up; no disposal plans in sight by USCHI MICHEL-HOWELL Battalion Staff Low-level radioactive waste, which has been accu mulating since February at Texas A&M University’s Nuclear Science Center, will continue to do so for an undetermined period. The University is waiting for Nuclear Sources and Services Co. of Houston to get approval of a burial site in Leon County, said Dr. Robert Berg of the Office of University Research. The Radiological Safety Office had been picking up wastes from 200 laboratories on campus, but last week told departments involved to store the wastes them selves until a new waste-disposal company and burial site can be found. Research projects that generate new wastes may have to be discontinued if wastes can’t be stored tem porarily in lab areas, Berg told deparments last week. But no research projects have been stopped yet and most are likely to continue, Neff said. There are no problems of accumulation because the Nuclear Science Center can store the waste temporari ly, Berg said. However, Berg could neither guarantee that waste collection would resume May 15 o r that current re search projects could continue. Radioactive paper, fluids and animal carcasses fill 25 metal drums a month at Texas A8tM, Berg said. The wastes have been stored in a temporary shelter since February, said John Simek, assistant radiological safety officer. The university was left without a burial site for nuclear wastes in February when the Todd Shipyard Co. went out of business. The Galveston company gave the University 69 bar rels for temporary storage, Simek said. For a short-term, the waste barrels are kept in two fenced, covered areas at the center, Simek said. Another temporary storage area is planned should be completed in a few weeks, Berg said. A 20-by-40 foot concrete and metal building is plan ned for future storage, as well as a compactor, Berg said. Permit to build condos approved Expert says Bush hardsells George Bush’s campaign style may prevent him from winning the Republican presidential nomination, said a Texas A&M University speech expert. T expect George Bush will fail to win the nomination because he hard- too much, and is perceived by many people as a candidate who spouts a lot of empty rhetoric,” said Dr. Josh Crane, chairman of the speech communication division of e Department of English. Crane, an authority on communi cation, said more than 60 percent of what is communicated in a social (finversation or by a political condi- date isn’t spoken. Nonverbal communication such as eye contact, body language and in flections in speech can be a salesper son’s best selling point, or a politi cians downfall, he said. Bush has an overly loud and argumentative sounding voice, said Crane. He gestures with a straight up-and-down hand motion much like karate chop, and points with his ngerat times; his smile is too broad ud too much like what the public JBerccives as a politician’s smile, ’Crane said. On the other hand, Reagan comes across relaxed and much more confi dent. He doesn’t gesture as much, and his smile is frequent and appears to be more sincere, Crane said. Crane said nonverbal communica tion is especially important for peo ple in the public eye. For instance, the image presented by a salesman may be the unconscious deciding fac tor in a sale. A big part of building confidence has to do with appear ance, says the speech expert. High-pressure salespeople, who are aggressive and manipulative, are on the way out. Today, the consumer is just too informed and too leery of that to buy it, he said. “The same is true of high-pressure politicians. For example, some peo ple perceive John Connally in that manner. And, as sincere as he may have been as a presidential candi date, some thought him too manipu lative,” Crane said. “People remember he was once a Democrat and view his switch to the Republican party as an opportunistic thing to do.” Just as there are rules in chess, there are rules in the business and political worlds, some of which are unwritten, Crane said. “You can gain firmer footing in an interview if you remember that suc cessful selling includes eye contact M FOR SALE FOR SALE 72 Volvo Wagon.

Also, understand that a Handshake, for whatever reasons, means a great deal and that colors can enhance your image. We talk about executive blues and grays because they are good colors for business clothing,” Crane said. “When vocalizing, if you have a little louder and faster speech which doesn’t include gaps, you will be more persuasive,” he said. Ther communications specialist said politicians and salespeople must constantly be aware of their image. People judge others, fairly or unfair ly, he said, so the best approach is to present them with a person in whom they can have confidence instead of someone who bullies. by MARCY BOYCE A site plan permit was approved by the College Station Planning and Zoning Comroission Thursday night for the construction of con dominiums on the comer of Church and Nagle streets. The request was presented by de veloper Boyett Investments Ltd-, who plans to build the Rampart Con dominiums on two acres of the 9.6 acre tract wh^ye the Circle Drive-in once was. Approval of the project, however, depended upon approval of the de veloper’s future plans for drainage of the lot as well as the for the location of fire hydrants. Although City Planner Al Mayo expressed some concern regarding additional traffic that the project will probably generate, no objections were raised at the meeting Thurs day. Commissioner Jim Gardner, who voted to abstain from approval of the permit, however, said he saw no reason for having a pocket of re sidential property in the predomi nantly commercial area. The permit was approved 4-0 with two absten tions. The project is also pending approval of rezoning the tract from commercial to apartment by the Col lege Station City Council. In other business, the commission also approved site plan permits for multi-family projects on the comer of College Main and Spruce Street and another on the corner of Boyett and Louise streets. The commission also approved a request by Film-N-Photo to move their facility in Culpepper Plaza’s parking lot to a location in the same lot more accessible to customers. The request granted following the petitioner’s agreement to move the building out of traffic route in the parking lot. A public hearing for College Sta^ PARTY SET-UPS 7 A.M. 11 P.M.
