Water researchers tctiongroK mnmda ing /najorfiBpi U have to look into other sources for funds because federal sup port is diminishing, he added. “We need to look into con serving water and using it more effectively, and develop any additional supplies that we can,” Rankles said. Ruth Schaffer, a Texas A&M sociologist, said wasted water is a big problem. A lot of water is not reused in irri gated agriculture when it runs off the land. There is also waste in every day activities, Schaffer said. “When you get a drink of wa ter, do you take the first glass of water you fill up?” Another waste source is leaks in main pipelines under ground, she noted. “Dallas is the only city that has a computer system to de termine when there is a leak in one of its pipes,” she said. “All other large cities waste one- third to one-half of their wa ter this way.” Schaffer has been studying leadership, power and deci sion-making. She is interested in the shortage because, she said, it’s easy to study leaders when they’re involved in a survival issue such as water control. aperton urges hergy efficiency by David Johnson Battalion Staff Americans must become pore efficient energy users and nust diversify their energy purees in the future, State Senator Kent Caperton said here Wednesday night. Many states are encouraging iomeowners to install energy- laving improvements by offer- tig them tax credits, guaranteed pans or grants to help defray lie costs of the improvements, “aperton said. Caperton’s speech in Rudder Tower was sponsored by MSC nlitical Forum and the Texas Ak-M Renewable Natural Re- lources Association. Water resources also will be a roblem in coming decades, raperton said. He said he is trying to inform ;he public about the problem mtl develop a workable plan for he entire state that is acceptable p Texans in drier West Texas, swell as to those in the rainier ast. s for the si st year, in 6 ority with l ■ govern!® rressive met a security S :cently,“If' will be info ur creditf 1 ■ir frustraW ve can’t ov< > willcontfol ■ of years, lion arrivS PD mayha'i ?rry Add passion to your punch with Everclear 190 proof grain alcohol.

The proposal recommends that the evaluations be national ly recognized forms, be adminis tered once a semester and the results be made available to the faculty and administration. The evaluation should be funded through students’ semesterly fees at a cost not to exceed 50 cents per course, according to the proposal. Student senators also gave unanimous support to a recom mendation to operate seven shuttle buses before and after home football games starting in Fall 1983. The director of bus opera tions will take the recommenda tion to the University adminis tration for approval, Chip Heath, engineering senator, said. The operation cost of the buses will be about $700 and could be covered by selling home game shuttle passes for $1.50 or by spreading the cost over the current price of shuttle passes, Heath said. Caperton said that the Public Utilities Commission controver sy between governor-elect Mark White and incumbent Gov. Wil liam Clements during the recent election came about because the commission was “captured” by pro-utility commissioners that didn’t represent the people’s point of view during rate- increase hearings. Caperton, a native of nearby Caldwell, was student body pres ident at Texas A&M, vice- president of the student union and a member of the student senate. He graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in fi nance in 1971, and he later re- cieved his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Caperton was appointed judge of the Bryan Municipal Court in 1977 and served there until January 1980 when he res igned to run for state senator in the fifth senatorial district, which includes Bryan-College Station and Texas A&M.
