WASHINGTON — President
Igan’s efforts to resolve the Falk-
fed Islands dispute between Argen-
Vegetable tj n a and Britain reached a critical
or Corn Bread and Bit
Coffee or Tea
jge today with Reagan and top
users reviewing the few diplomatic
Ives that remain.
[Reagan invited Secretary of State
Alexander Haig t6 (he White House
fola briefing on Haig's trans-Atlantic
negotiations with of ficials in London
and Buenos Aires aimed at prevent
ing war over control of the Falklands.
British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher told her Cabinet today
there can be no peace talks without
withdrawal of Argentine occupation
troops from the islands and return to
British sovereignty of the territory.
Foreign Secretary Francis Pym,
who played an important role in the
talks with Haig, said after the Cabinet
meeting: “There have been no new
diplomatic developments today.”
But Britain warned of new and se
rious developments and the super
powers reportedly were lining up on
opposite sides.
Haig flew home from London
Tuesday night after Argentina re
jected a U.S. peace offer involving a
three-power administration of the
disputed archipelago in the south
Atlantic.
Diplomatic sources said Argentina
has rejected a peace plan proposed by
Haig under which the Falklands
would be jointly administered by
Washington, London and Buenos
Aires until the dispute was settled.
The Argentines told Haig not to
bother returning to Buenos Aires be
cause Britain was still unwilling to
accept Argentine sovereignty over
the islands, a British colony since
1833, sources said.
Underlining the urgency of the
Reagan-Haig meeting today was the
steady approach of the British naval
force due to reach the Falklands
sometime next week. A total of about
20 jump-jet Harrier fighters are
aboard the aircraft carriers Invincible
and Hermes, and the ministry said
the 15,000-ton Cunard container ship
Atlantic Conveyer has been requisi
tioned to carry more Harriers.
The meeting also comes amid re
ports the United States is aiding Brit
ish efforts to regain control of the
Falklands and the Soviets are provid
ing intelligence information to the
Argentines.

Instead of the violent racial activi-
III it was known for in the past, the
Ru Klux Klan now uses diplomacy to
accomplish its goals, Titan Charles
Ray Willey said Tuesday night.
Kl‘We don’t have the racial problem
we had in the 60s,” said Willey, a
member of one of the five orders of
the Ku Klux Klan.

educated, greedy businessmen”, he
“said.
H Willey said information leading to
a recent $22 million drug bust in the
Beaumont area was given to officials
;by the Klan.
H The “New Klan” also handles
domestic problems such as wife beat
ing and child abuse, Willey said. If a
husband and wife are quarrelling,
they would rather nave a Klan mem
ber who is a friend or neighbor help
them work things out than a police
man, he said.
The Klan also takes donations lor
needy people that are ineligible to re
ceive government aid, he said.
Willey said the Klan believes in a
“pure white race.” He said this means
no interracial marriages or integrated
schools.
“The white race is superior because
it is educated,” he said. “The whites
brought dumb blacks from Africa.
“If they would have known it would
have caused a civil war, riots in the 60s
and forced busing, then they prob
ably wouldn’t have brought them
over”
Willey also mentioned Mexicans,
Jews and Catholics as groups hated by
the Klan.
However, Willey, who spent 18
months of Army service in Vietnam,
said there was no racial discrimina
tion in times of war.
“In war and cortibat, you don’t look
at race,” he said. “You don’t look at
color. You look at that bullet coming
at you.”
The “New Klan” is divided into five
orders, which Willey compared to
political parties. He said his order
tries to do things without a lot of pub
licity — he said other Klans burn cros
ses and have rallies to get publicity.
When asked why there were no
congressmen or senators who actively
supported the Klan, Willey said there
are many that support the ideas of the
Klan but don’t join because it would
hurt them politically.

Charles Ray Willey, Titin of the Original Ku Klux Klan of
America, Inc., discusses the “New Klan” with two students.
Willey spoke at a presentation sponsored by the Sociology
Society Tuesday. Symbols on Willey’s robe mean varying
things to klansmen. The stripes on the sleeves and skirt
represent his almost 20 years of Klan service. The patch on
the right side of his robe is the Klan symbol and the cross
on the left side represents the cross Jesus Christ died on.

United Press International
TEL AVIV, Israel — Opposition
Baders accused Prime Minister
lenachem Begin’s government of
‘‘orchestrated hysteria” in hinting the
jfSinai withdrawal could be postponed,
and a U.S. official was ordered to
Israel today to smooth the transfer to
Egyptian control.
[ Tension over the April 25 pullback
lom the Sinai was heightened by con
tinued dashes between Israeli forces
' and Palestinians angered by the kill-
’ ihg of two Arabs at Jerusualem’s re-
jered Dome of the Rock mosque Eas
ter Sunday.
Officials, who had predicted sever
al days of violence, said Tuesday one
Palestinian was killed and at least 27
others were wounded in two days of
violent protests.
The American-born Israeli soldier
arrested for the shooting spree, Alan
Harry Goodman, 38, was arraigned
Tuesday and ordered held for 15
more days of questioning.
Begin hinted at the possible post
ponement of handing the Sinai over
to Egypt in two newspaper interviews
Tuesday — a withdrawal called for in
the U.S.-arranged Camp David peace
accord.
At the same time, U.S. Deputy Sec
retary of State Walter Stoessel, the
number two man in the department,
held final briefings with U.S. officials
in London for a mission beginning
today to insure Israeli withdrawal
from the Sinai.
After talks with Israeli officials,
Stoessel planned to continue discus
sions with Egyptian officials in Cairo
on Friday.
Israeli Labor Party officials lashed
out at the hysteria two weeks before
the pullback from Sinai during a five-
hour session Tuesday of the biparti
san defense and foreign affairs com
mittee.
The committee was briefed by De
fense Minister Ariel Sharon about
alleged Egyptian violations of the
1979 peace treaty, which Begin in
sisted be rectified before the with
drawal.
The state-run television said the in
fractions involved stationing an extra
batallion and constructing fortified
positions and minefields in the li
mited forces “B” zone in the Sinai.
Egypt denied the charge.
“I am astounded,” Labor Party
leader Shimon Peres told the televi
sion network. “What do we gain from
this? Why climb out on a limb and
then ask the State Department to help
us back down?”
He was referring to President
Reagan’s sending of Stoessel and the
recentlv concluded visit of Nicholas
Veliotes, assistant secretary of state.
Stoessel met Veliotes and Secretary of
State Alexander Haig in London.
But in the Sinai workmen con
tinued to dismantle houses and in
dustrial structures and bulldozers up
rooted fruit trees in preparation for
the pullback.
The young guard of the Herut fac
tion of Begin’s ruling Likud bloc
urged a one-month delay in with
drawing after hard-line speeches hv
Sharon, Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir and Deputy Prime Minister
David Levy about the alleged Sinai
violations.

An error was made in Monday’s Bat-

Engineering dean to hold
open forum with students
by Johna Jo Maurer
Battalion Staff
The 11,000 students in the Texas
A&M University College of Engineer
ing may think there is no way they can
all ask the dean all of the questions
they have, but there is a way.
Plans, policies and current activi
ties in the College of Engineering will
be discussed at an open forum for
engineering students Wednesday at 2
p.m. in 102 Zachry.
After an address on the general
situation of the college and future
plans by Dr. Robert H. Page, dean of
the College of Engineering, students
will have an opportunity to ask speci
fic questions of the dean, associate
deans and some engineering depart
ment heads.
“This has been standard procedure
for the college,” Page said, “there is
no burning issue.”
Page -said the turnout at the open
meetings, held once a year, is usually
not good, considering an enrollment
of approximately 11,000 students in
the college of engineering.
“It is a mode of communication be
tween students and deans. Students
want to ask questions and this is the
only way to do it,” he said.
