EDINBURGH, Scotland — Hun
dreds of striking miners smashed
windows, set tires ablaze and tore
down a stone wall Monday in clashes
with police outside two Scottish coal
mines as the British coal strike en
tered its 20th week.
The clashes coincided with the re
turn of 35,000 longshoremen to
Britain’s 100 ports after ratification
of an agreement between the dock
ers union and management Sunday,
ending a 12-day work stoppage that
threatened to cripple the nation’s
economy.
Violence erupted at the two coal
mines in the Scottish coalfields,
where strikers are militantly op
posed to the state-owned National
Coal Board’s plans to shut down 20
British mines and lay off 20,000
workers.
At Bilston Glen mine, Scotland’s
biggest mine near Edinburgh, some
600 strikers pushed and nearly
broke throi/gh a 500-strong police
line protecting 10 men who reported
for work despite the strike.
Frustrated strikers smashed win
dows with stones and set fire to tires
on the road.
Police made 42 arrests in all — 14
at Bilston Glen and 28 at the nearby
Blinkbonny mine in Lothian, where
angry miners pulled down a stone

wall to block a road. There were no
reports of injuries.
Negotiations between the Na
tional Union of Mineworkers and
the coal board broke down last week.
Press reports Monday said the
union’s executive committee was ex
pected to reaffirm backing of the
strike when it meets Thursday, lead
ing to fears that the dispute could
dragon into 1985.
No negotiations were expected in
the near future.
Energy Secretary Peter Walker as
sured Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher at her regular weekly min
isters’ meeting that the nation had
enough coal stocks to avoid power
cuts and the industrial chaos of the
big coal strike that brought down the
Conservative government in 1974.
The government hopes set
tlement of the 12-day dock strike
over the weekend will break the back
of the miners.
All of Britain’s strike-bound ports
were back to normal Monday after
the dockers’ rank-and-file Sunday
ratified an agreement between their
union and port management that
guarantees work for 13,700 regis
tered longshoremen.
The dockers’ strike began when
employers used a non-contract la
borer to remove iron ore from a
port.
Regents
(continued from page 1)
to Aggies who have received the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
Regents will make a formal appro
val of the action at the September
meeting. The dedication ceremony
tentatively is scheduled for Armi
stice Day, Nov. 11.
At their Sunday meeting, mem
bers of the Board of Regents Plan
ning and Building Committee dis
cussed plans for the Texas A&M
Special Events Center, a neW track
and field and intramural field fa-
cilties, System administration build
ing, Ocean Drilling Reasearch Park,
A.P. Beutel Health Center out-pa
tient clinic and physical plant com
plex.
Ralph Anderson of Crain/Ander
son, Inc. of Houston presented the
final conceptual plans for the $46.9
million proposed Special Events
Center. The complex will seat
17,000 and will be capable of hosting
events such as basketball games, ice
shows, circuses and concerts.
The track and field facilties, to be
located at the corner of Jersey and
Beef Cattle Road across from Olsen
Field, will consist of a nine-lane, all-
weather track complete with areas
for long jump, pole vaulting, shot
put and other field events. The nine-
lane track will allow Texas A&M to
host conference track meets.
The track stands initially will seat
1,500 spectators — but plans include
expanding to 6,000 seats. At this
Lime, funds are not available for
lighting the track.
“Everything about this track is just
what we think we need,” John David
Crow, Associate athletic director of
the Stadium Revenue Fund, said.
The new intramural fields will
provide eight football fields or four
softball fields with four practice
football fields or two practice softball
fields. A 300-foot driving range will
be located next to the playing fields.
The preliminary design for the
new System administration building
also was presented to the regents.
The 52,400-square-foot building, to.
be located at the west corner of the
Research Park (EM 2818 and Uni
versity Drive), will have three floors
and will house the chancellor’s, com
ptroller’s and general counsel’s of
fices.
Renovations are planned for the
A.P. Beutel Health Center. The ren
ovations will expand the out-patient
clinic and provide more room for
other health center services.
The two-story addition will be
built onto the south east side of the
building. Funds for the $2.3 million
renovation will come from building-
use fees.
Final action on scheduled agenda
items will be taken in the regents’
meeting today.
