/ local/state " 1 Battalion/Pags February 3, IS Airlines clash over PSA plan United Press International DALLAS — A last minute campaign has been launched to persuade persuade the Dallas and Fort Worth city councils to withhold approval of a proposed joint venture between Pacific South west Airlines and the defunct Braniff International. If successful, the effort Tues day by American Airlines and other firms could halt a plan already approved by the Dallas- Fort Worth Regional Airport Board and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Flowers. “We are concerned that PSA would be given preferential treatment by the airport board, which would violate our agree ment with the board and would shift to us a disproportionate share of airport costs,” said Gene Overbeck, senior vice president of American Airlines. Dallas Mayor Jack Evans said creating a Dallas-based Texas division of PSA would mean more jobs in the north Texas area. Under terms of the joint ven ture, the California-based air line will lease 12 landing slots, 30 jets, and airport facilities once used by Braniff. The Dallas-Fort Worth Re gional Airport Board, which has approved the deal, will decide who gets Braniffs office and hotel facility, Braniff Place. Bra niff retains the right to sublease its jet simulator facility. Steak and Shrimp Dinner at Fort Shiloh: Only $ 9 95 ! Monday-Wednesday 5-10 p.m. W eekly! Includes a tender 6-7 oz.

ASSOCIATION OF FORMER STUDENTS TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY by Dawson Clark Battalion Staff Joining the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce is like making an investment in the future of the community, says Bob Kee, president of the Chamber Blazers. The Blazers are a group of 22 Bryan-College Station business men who volunteer their time for the induction and orienta tion of new chamber members. “We (the Blazers) have two objectives in 1983,” Kee said. “The first of these is to generate a minimum of $22,000 in new money for the chamber by re cruiting new members, and secondly, to act as ambassadors to the community at grand openings, social events and pub lic speeches. “We contact businesses in the community that are not mem bers of the chamber and ask them to join the chamber and support it with both time and money.” There are two ways to join the chamber. One is by businesses making a minimum contribu tion of $ 125, he said. But larger, established businesses usually increase the size of their yearly contribution according to their volume of business. The second is designed to accomodate individuals, rather than businesses. An individual membership requires a $50 minimum contribution, and is seldom increased from that amount, Kee said. Kee’s employer, Louis New man, who owns Newman Print ing Co. in Bryan, not only makes a substantial yearly contribu tion, but also is a member of the chamber’s board of directors and executive committee. The Blazers have scheduled a one-day spring membership drive for sometime in April, Kee said. On that day, they will can vass the community asking all non-member businesses to join the chamber. son has been namedaviceji dent of the association.

NRC orders tests United Press International DALLAS — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Tues day ordered testing on possibly faulty water pumps used in nuc lear power plants, including the Comanche Peak plant near Glen Rose, which is about 50 miles southwest of Dallas. The announcement came nearly a year after an NRC offi cial in Arlington was transferred after “softening” a critical report on the pumps. The Arlington office had national jurisdiction to monitor the quality of that equipment. The N RC said the problems it verified in quality control and training procedures at Hayward Tyler Pump Co. in Burlington, Vt., posed questions about the reliability of the equipment manufactured there. The com mission ordered that the pumps and related equipment, sold to 22 nuclear power plants,!! spected and tested. OnlypJ manufactured between and 1981 were affected. Dick Ramsey, a s[ for Comanche Peak, whett of the pumps have been since 1981, said the NK quest did not raise seriousi questions there becaust pumps were not being the reactor’s safety system. Ramsey said the pumps used to deliver cool waterit plant’s auxiliary systems, its air conditioning. Question about the surfaced in December when several former Ha;’ Tyler employees com. Rep.
