summit over an Iraqi proposal for an
average $2 a barrel increase in an
effort to unify prices around $32 a
barrel.
The $2 increase would have added
2 cents to 3 cents for a gallon of gaso
line and home heating fuel in the
United States.
Saudi Arabia, the biggest supplier
of U.S. oil imports, and the United
Arab Emirates rejected the increase
as too high, while Iran said the hike
was too low.
Oil prices now range from the $28
charged by Saudi Arabia to the
$38.21 charged by Algeria — a di
vergence resulting from free-for-all
increases since December.
The Iraqi plan, which was aimed at
bringing prices to $32 a barrel, called
for a $4 Saudi increase, about a $2
hike for Iran, Algeria, Libya and
Nigeria, and at least a freeze by
others in the 13-member cartel. But
Iran promptly said it would like to
see the price go up by $3 to $35 a
barrel and the Saudis said no to rais
ing their price.
The sharp rift in OPEC centered
as much on production, or the
amount of oil the cartel will put on a
market whose supplies are already at
near glut condition.
A closed midnight session erupted
into a shouting match when Iran cal

duce production in order to tighten
market conditions, thereby holding
up prices, conference sources said.
The sources said Saudi Arabia’s
Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani did not
respond, but Iraqi Minister Tayeh
Abdel Kerim told Iranian Minister
Ali Akhbar Moinfar a cut would be
considered by his government only
in connection with price unity.
Moinfar accused Iraq of increasing
its production — now at an all-time
high of 3.7 million barrels a day — in
an effort to make it difficult for Iran to
sell its high-priced oil, $35 a barrel,
the sources said.
“You imperialist!’’ Moinfar
shouted at the Iraqi.

chosen to receive the $200 Peter
Chaplinsky Scholarship at Texas
A&M University.
Brosnan, 20, was selected by a
faculty committe for the award
recognizing an outstanding junior

fect 4.0 grade point ratio and cam
pus life participation were cited
by the committee.
He served on his dormitory
council two years and has been
selected a University Undergra
duate Fellow for his 1980-81
senior year of studies.
The scholarship memorializes
a bioengineering junior killed in a
1976 auto accident while return
ing to the campus. Chaplinsky’s
family endowed the scholarship,
according to Dr. W.A. Hyman,
bioengineering division chair
man in the Industrial Engineer
ing Department.

ists, shared the podium with such
distinguished honorary degree
recipients as architect I.M. Pei,
Nobel Prize winner Norman Bor-
laug, U.S. Ambbassador to China
Leonard Woodcock, writer
James Fitch and May Chinn, for
many years the only black woman
doctor in Harlem.
Cotton, Texas A&M’s Robert
A. Welch Foundation Disting
uished Professor of Chemistry, is
said to be one of the ten most
quoted scientists in the world.
Already this year he has won
the Willard Gibbs Medal from
the American Chemical Society
and the Michelson-Morley Med
al from Case Western Reserve
University.
Previously he has received the
Kirkwood Medal from Yale Uni

Dept
gets new head
Effective Sept. 1, Dr. C.S. Giam
will become head of Texas A&M
University’s Chemistry Depart

the department for 14 years.
A faculty member since 1966,
Giam is a professor of both che
mistry and oceanography and is

Five receive
Sea Grants
Student research on topics as
varied as Oriental shipwrecks and
Gulf shrimp is being supported at
Texas A&M University this fall by
five fellowships awarded through
the Sea Grant College Program
and Graduate College.
The 1980-81 marine fellows
program, funded by Sea Grant for
the fifth year, has awarded
stipends to graduate students
Donald Keith of Hendersonville,
N.C.; Julie Ambler of Corvallis,
Ore.; Leroy George from Win
ston-Salem, N.C.; Thomas
Soniat from New Orleans; and
Robert Taylor of Mundelein, Ill.
The program is designed to en
courage outstanding graduate
students to do research in various
marine-related fields at Texas
A&M.
Keith is completing studies in
nautical archaeology with emph
asis on Oriental shipwrecks.
Ambler is concentrating on the
physiology and ecology of zoo
plankton while George is de
veloping a computer simulation
model for growth of oysters and
Taylor is studying chemical
oceanography with emphasis on
trace metal geochemistry.
OPEC news
spurs market
upswing
United Press International
NEW YORK — Stocks moved
higher Tuesday as hopes began to
grow that OPEC would reach an
agreement on pricing. Trading was
fairly active.
The pricing hopes grew after
Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani, Saudi
Arabia’s oil minister, returned to
Algiers after flying for a meeting to
get instructions from Crown Prince
Fahd on how to resolve the pricing
deadlock.
This was one reason the price of
gold, which soared Monday, de
clined on most international mar
kets. But the dollar remained under
pressure because of U.S. interest
rate declines.
Against this background, the Dow
Jones industrial average, which had
been down nearly 2 points after slip
ping 0.85 point Monday, was ahead
1.36 points to 862.02 around noon
EDT. The Dow has climbed more
than 100 points since late April, mak
ing the market ripe for profit taking,
analysts said.
