Page 4 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1980 Trailways looking for students as red ryders by USCHI MICHEL-HOWELL Battalion Staff Summer jobs come in all kinds of varieties. Some are just everyday jobs, like waiting tables or helping in an office, but others have a taste of adventure to them. If you are still looking for a sum mer job to fill your expense account this summer, there is an opportunity that could offer some adventures. “The requirements are energy, enthusiasm, and a good driving re cord,” which will give you a chance to become a red ryder for two months this summer, according to a Trailways press release. Students, dressed in red shirts and white jeans will travel the U.S. in July and August to promote the transportation company in large and small cities, Ellie Wiggins, employ ment manager, said. Each of the 24 public relations promoters will travel the country alone in a company-supplied car and set up promotion campaigns at bus terminals, Joan Quimby, public rela tions agent, said. The red ryders will also give out prizes to Trailways em ployees for those who make the most efforts to promote the company. The red ryders are part of the “Big Red’s Top Dog Contest, ” to promote the company’s growth. Trailways has now more than 3,000 buses traveling on American roads, an increase of 1,000 from last year, according to Trailways. Cities like Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia and others will be vi sited for one or two days, Wiggins said. So far, the company has employed seven students and received 50 ap plications. After a two-day training session, each red ryder will receive $800 a month, a $350 end-of-summer bonus and a $40 a day per diem ex pense account, Wiggins said.The three best red ryders will receive a $400 award. The application deadline is today.

MEYER Battalion Staff The oil companies will not be the only beneficiaries of the deregulation of oil and gas prices. The Permanent University Fund will be about $200 million richer as a result of President Carter’s oil price decontrol, state officials estimate. The PUF is the proceeds from leases and royalties of approximately 2,100,000 acres of land. The PUF func tions as an endowment, which means the money which goes into it is never actually spent. Money from the PUF can be invested, though, and income arising from investments is known as the Avail able University Fund. Two-thirds of the money from that fund is apportioned to the University of Texas Sys tem Board of Regents, and one-third goes to the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. The phased decontrol of oil prices, which began in September of 1979 and will end in October of 1981, allows all domestic oil to be sold at market, or world, Oil in Texas was sold for about $9.29 a barrel in according to an official at the Texas Mid-Coni Oil and Gas Association. If a given barrel pumped from PUF land, a percentage of that pritf go into the PUF. If the price of Texas oil goes aji current world prices, roughly $25 a barrl, then• amount of money going into the PUF for a bsc pumped from PUF laud will more than double. This “windfall” increase for the PUF willbeexei from the windfall profits tax, Buch said, althoughtlti companies will have to pay that tax on their share T. R. Whiteside, who works in the PUFs unite Investment and Trust, said the PUF is projects $1,251,818,000 for August. His office estimate value will increase to $1,431,818,000for Augustofll which is an increase of about $180 million. prices. When oil companies drill for oil on land owned by the state, they must pay the state a percentage of the re venue they generate, Larry Buch, who works in the Fuel Tax Department of the State Comptrollers Office, said. The bonus rate is bid by the company, but the minimum is about 25 percent, he said. Of that figure, Whiteside said an estimated $128 lion will come in from oil and gas royalties. The amount coming from oil and gas royalties increase to an estimated $173 million by August, 11 he said. The increase in oil and gas royalty which wille into the PUF (and other state coffers as well)wil almost entirely due to the deregulation of domestk prices. Chicago mayor backs down Tribune reporter still atjd United Press International CHICAGO — When the shouting stopped and the television lights dimmed, the Tribune’s desk was in its usual spot in the City Hall press room and the newspaper’s reporter was sitting there with his feet prop ped on it. A truce was in effect Tuesday be tween the Chicago Tribune and Mayor Jane M. Byrne, who backed down on threats to oust the newspap er’s chief City Hall reporter, Robert Davis. Byrne was riled over publication of a story in the Tribune’s Sunday editions saying she requested, then ignored, a report on malfeasance and incompetence in previous mayoral administrations, and recommenda tions on how to put things right. Though the story contained only mild accusations against her, the mayor reacted strongly, threatening to have Davis’ desk and phones re moved. Davis, she threatened, would not be allowed to talk to city officials or to pick up official city press releases. He and his Tribune colleagues would be pariahs. Instead, Davis went to work as usual Monday, albeit a little late. He blinked at the television lights glar ing at him, found his desk and tele phones still intact, adjusted his spec tacles, and went to work as always. “It’s just like it’s been for the iVz years since I’ve been here,” he said. He not only was able to call anyone he pleased, but got a few unusual calls as well. One was from Gov. James R. Thompson, offering to chip in $50 to a defense fund, in case one was needed. Another was from Mayor Byrne. She likes Davis and wanted to know if all the attention was bothering him. Byrne was not talking to other re porters about the uproar, hut her husband was. He is Jay McMullen, her press secretary, her political adviser, her fellow firebrand and a City Hall reporter himself for more than 20 years. Whatever the Tribune got, he said, it had coming. The Tribune, he said, had been “personally vindictive” and had op erated “a smear operation.
