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.

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

because people think that is sincere.
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.

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.
