e Art Film Society Thursday
ost the second annual Film
ideo Exposition, a contest
offers students and faculty
mce to create and submit
own videos.
e exposition will be held in
Jlocker at 7 p.m., and admis-
s free.
jb secretary Richard Storm
:he people that submit their
come from varied back-
nds. They range from peo-
humanities and English, to
le in architecture and envi-
lental design, he said,
st year’s program lasted
t two and a half hours and
red nine different pieces
ranged in length from two
tes to 30 minutes,
teclub hasn’t specified exact
;hs but they want to steer
of full-length movie submis-
he pieces are usually under
ninutes in general,” Storm
as it,
said. “The video format lends it
self to shorter pieces.”
The judging process is con
ducted by a group of four club
members, Storm said. The deci
sions on each piece are arbitrary
and are sometimes based on feel
ing, he said.
“We’re pretty open,” he said.
“It’s a rare situation when we turn
someone’s piece down.”
Last year’s exposition featured
pieces involving actors in narra
tive stories and documentaries.
One piece involved electronically
generated pictures, he said.
Storm said the budget for one
piece usually consists of the cost
of a blank video tape and equip
ment costs. He said he’s never
made a piece that cost over $50.
In the two semesters the Art
Film Society has been in existence
at Texas A&M, the film exposi
tion has been one of its most pop
ular functions.

sion deadlines call Richard Storm

Pickens says price
for gas at pump
may drop to 500
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Oilmen
are going to have to hang on with
their fingernails over the next seve
ral years to recover from the current
slump in crude oil prices, corporate
takeover artist T. Boone Pickens Jr.
said Tuesday.
Prices at the gas pump will dip as
low as 50 cents per gallon before
they inch up again, he predicted.
By October, Pickens said, there is
a three-in-four chance crude prices
— now below $10 — will be up to
$18 per barrel. And, he said, it may
be 18 to 24 months before the price
of oil is up to $30 a barrel.
“We’ve got four or five years
where we’re going to have to work
out our problems. . . .” he told about
500 people attending a breakfast
sponsored by Trinity University.
Pickens, chairman of Mesa Petro
leum Co. in Amarillo, said President
Reagan will not allow a tariff on im
ported oil.
“It’s not because Reagan is against
the domestic industry — he’s for it,”
Pickens said. “But he’s opposed to
taxes, he’s opposed to tariffs and
we’re going to have to work it out
ourselves.”
Pickens, noted for his attempts to
take over such petroleum companies
as Phillips, Gulf, Cities Service, Gen
eral American and Unocal, said it is
unrealistic to think a tariff could be
imposed to prop up the oil industry
in Texas.
“There are too many non-oil-pro
ducing states,” he said.
The 13 nations in the Organiza
tion of Petroleum Exporting Coun
tries, he said, need to cut production
to under 16 million barrels per day
to get prices up to $18 to $20 per
barrel, he said.
The current production level is
about 17 million barrels daily.
The oil industry has taken the big
hit as far as layoffs, he said. Pickens’
own company has cut staff from 900
to 400 employees.
He predicted Texas will have to
raise the sales tax and look at all
kinds of revenue-producing ave
nues, including a state income tax
and lotteries, to recover monies lost
by the decline of the oil industry.
's vnomists: Texas oil woes hurt rest of nation
ESSA (AP) — Odessa/M id-
irea employment, revenues
lesare plunging along with oil
,and other areas of the coun-
ch as Detroit and oil-industry
will be hurt along with the Per-
Basin, business leaders and
mists testified at a congressio-
aring Tuesday.
Ikai» at testimony came during a
nessi ig before the House Small
ess Committee’s Subcommittee
icrgy, Environment and Safety
future of independent oil and
plorersand producers,
is. Larry Combest, R-Lubbock,
harles Stenholm, D-Stamford,
members of the committee, spon
sored the meeting, which continues
today in Abilene.
Steve Late, who operates Broncho
Chevrolet in Odessa, said that when
Texans stop buying trucks, Detroit is
likely to suffer.
Late, a board of directors member
of the Texas Automobile Dealers As
sociation, said car sales in Ector and
Midland counties fell about 40 per
cent from January to February.
“General Motors is sitting on
more than a 100-day inventory of
trucks, and 25 percent of U.S. truck
sales are in Texas,” Late said.
Jim Williams, an economist, sauU
the loss of skilled labor in an oil re
cession could damage the country’s
ability to find new oil reserves.
Williams, a partner in the consult
ing firm Texas Business Forecast,
said the number of pople working in
Odessa and Midland could fall from
100,200 to 85,000 or even 75,000
within two years if the price of crude
averages $ 15 a barrel.
“We’re talking about losing 25
percent of existing jobs over the next
two years,” he said.
Once skilled manpower such as
geologists is lost to other professions,
it would take years to replace, he
said, adding that those skills require
not only a college education but field
experience before people can be
come productive.
Sam Holloman, an Odessa oilfield
construction company owner, pre
dicted that many banks and savings
and loans will close their doors.
Odessa rancher and independent
oilman James “Buzz” Hurt told the
congressmen that the Permian econ
omy already was suffering before
the price slide.
Charlie McCoy, president of the
Permian Basin Construction Equip
ment Co. of Midland, said the num
ber of working rigs in the basin has
dropped 44 percent since Jan. 1.

NERVOUS TENSION
There is a tendency for people who suffer from nervous tension to allow their muscles to
become tense. It is particularly in the spinal column that it may have a significant effect
upon their overall state of health. Between each two consecutive spinal segments, is a
pair of exiting nerves which branches out to various muscles and viscera and helps regu
late their function. A disturbance in normal nerve function at this level may effect the nor
mal function of the muscles and viscera supplied by these nerves. Using chiropractic spi
nal adjustments, muscle tension, immobilized spinal joints and localized congestion may
all be corrected allowing more harmonious functioning of the exiting nerves. This helps
the entire body to function better and makes you feel better.
Please do not ignore the early warning signs: Headache, stiffness in neck/back, painful
joints, leg/arm pain, numbness, back/neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness in hands/feet.
Early treatment of these signs will minimize your need for additional follow-up visits.
Complimentary consultation and spinal evaluation will be given thru March 7. Previous
patients of chiropractic who feel the necessity for “only” a spinal adjustment are wel
come.
Should you feel a need for an appointment please call 696-2100.
Hint: Excessive nervous tension may contribute to heart disease, high blood pressure, in
somnia, etc.
