I Friday, March 23, 1984/The Battalion/Page 3 RTIN THOU SIATE§ N0l« S.ANO WKy| >ESWis Schlanger not a run-of-the-mill candidate By Karen Wallace Staff Writer Harley Schlanger is not your rdinary candidate for the U. S. ienate and lie’s the first one to dmitil. tend to be controversial md stir things up,” said ichlanger. “But that’s exactly dial politics needs.” Schlanger is a LaRouche )emocratic — a Democrat who ollows the beliefs of Lyndon H. LaRouche, the Democratic presidential candidate who es tablished the National Demo cratic Policy Committee when he was ‘disowned’ by the Demo cratic party. The NDPC claims to be a wing of the Democratic party, but a local Democratic party official said they are not recognized by the state or na tional Democratic party. “We don’t go through the of ficial channels so the Demo cratic leadership is mad,” Schlanger said. Schlanger, who was in town Thursday to speak to the Opti mist Club, said his opponents in the Senate race are ignoring the real issue of the campaign — which he said is monetary reor- ginization through lowered in terest rates. “We have too many candi dates who try to sell themselves like toothpaste,” Schlanger said. “All the Republicans care about is who is closer to President Reagan and all the Democrats care about is who’s known Bar bara Jordan the longest.” LaRouche Democrats, Schlanger said, are real candi dates even though they are not considered real Democrats. John F. Kennedy would not be considered a real Democrat be cause he wanted to fight against the Soviets, and he supported nuclear power and NASA space exploration, Schlanger said. All these things are Republican is sues, he said. Schlanger said the main problem with the country today is high interest rates. “The idea that high interest rates are good for the economy is false,” he said. Interest rates should be low ered, allowing people to invest so the money could stay in cir culation. Then, the solution is to channel the money into real production and defense spend ing, he said. “We need $50 million to $70 million to have the system oper ational in three to five years,” he said. “Especially since the Russians are acting so recklessly.” Another area that needs the invested money is the steel in dustry, he said. The steel indus try needs to be modernized be cause steel is needed to build defense equipment, he said. Schlanger said he is the best candidate for two reasons. “I am far better in form and I’m not a coward,” he said. “I won’t make promises that will bind me in Congress.” Schlanger said that with John Kennedy, the United Stales had a president with guts. ompany charged with illegal rate hike United Press International WASHINGTON — A group of rge Midwest natural gas users as asked the Federal Energy legulatory Comission to force a ujor pipeline supplier of nalu- algas to five slates to refund as nidi as $100 million to its cus- imers. The Midwest Users Associa- lon, composed of industries bat use large volumes of natu- al gas, contends the Cities rvice Gas Co., a pipeline firm iow called the Nortliwest Cen- al Pipeline Co., in 1981 ille- jally agreed to more than dou ble the prices it was paying for natural gas from a Wyoming producer. The price agreements were a result of “fraud, abuse or simi lar grounds," the group said in its complaint filed with the com mission. The group also seeks “full refunds” for consumers who it contends were over charged because of the contract amendments. The Wyoming gas producer was a sister company of Cities Service at the time the agreement was made — which according to the group means the firm was allowed to buy from itself at increased prices and pass the higher costs on to consumers. The pipeline supplies natural gas to customers in Texas, Mis souri, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. If the allegations made by Midwest Users — a group of 170 large natural gas users in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma — are true, all resi dential and industrial custom ers using gas from the pipeline have been paying unnecessarily high prices. Furthermore, the 1981 price contracts are still in effect. “For the period March 17, 1981, through December 31, 1982, Northwest Central’s gas costs increased by at least $71,666,430 as a result of the contract amendments, and Northwest Central recovered the increased costs from its cus tomers through its rates,” the complaint said. The group is challenging the legality of amendments made to contracts the then natural gas supply March 17, 1981, by Cities Service Gas Co., and one of its suppliers, a partnership of the Cities Service Gas Explora tion Co., and the Amoco Pro duction Co. In 1982, Cities Service Gas Co. was acquired by the North west Energy Co. and renamed the Northwest Central Pipeline Corp. Late last year Northwest Central and its pipeline subsid iary were acquired by the Wil liams Cos.

A few ABC members were in college rodeo clubs, but most had no prior working knowledge of the sport. ABC members joke that the member selected as rodeo chairman loses an average of 40 pounds worrying during the month of March. State district construction engineer James Johnston is running the show this year. “The weight that James doesn’t lose, I will,” club presi dent Jimmy Gibbs joked. “It’s truly a community project,” he said of the rodeo. i 4 I THE UNDERGROUND .fy Sbisa Basement Potato Chips Special Friday 3/23/84 — Thursday 3/29/84 M\ Varieties 89e Regular Price $1.38 OFFER GOOD TO THE LAST CHIP “The Best Food.
