^Energy secretary
rejects White's bid
for oil import fee
WASHINGTON (AP) — En-
rgy Secretary John Herrington
on Sunday rejected a call from
fexas Gov. Mark White for in-
xeasing the tax on imported oil
o protect the domestic petro-
eum industry against plunging
)il prices.
An import fee does not make
iense for several reasons,” Her
rington said. “I don’t care what
^ou call it, oil import fee, tax, the
president is not for it. . . . (It’s) a
lead letter.”
The energy secretary also den-
ed allegations by White and oth
ers that Vice President George
[lush, who met with Saudi Ara-
ian officials in Riyadh on Satur-
lay and Sunday, urged them to
:urb oil exports to bolster petro-
eum prices.
“This trip is not based on oil,”
|lerrington said. ‘‘He has a lot of
conomic and energy issues, and
ational security issues to dis-
[uss.. . with the four countries.”
tush is visiting Saudi Arabia,
jpman, North Yemen and Bah-
ain.
Herrington and White ap-
eared on the NBC-TV interview
brogram “Meet the Press.”
I reasury Secretary James A.
Baker III has also said that Presi
dent Reagan has decided against
doubling or tripling the 50-cents-
a-barrel excise tax on imported
oil and using the revenues to buy
oil for the nation’s Strategic Pe
troleum Reserve.
White, a Democrat, urged the
Reagan administration to “im
pose a variable tariff (on im
ported oil) that would make cer
tain that you would not shut
down wells that are stripper wells,
the low producers, and therefore
we would not be throwing away
already discovered oil” in the
United States.
“We need to have the price of
oil at a level that will induce peo
ple to go in and invest in new oil
discoveries and oil wells, and then
we will have plenty,” White said,
proposing a minimum price of
$15 per barrel to keep the low-
volume producers in business.
“We have to be more con
cerned about our national securi
ty,” White said.
“They are destroying an oil in
dustry that we need for our na
tional security,” he said.
Ringer elected mayor,
captures 55% of vote
By Craig Renfro
Stuff Writer
In Saturday’s elections, one Texas
A&M professor was elected mayor
of College Station, and another pro
fessor lost his bid for re-election to
the council.
Larry Ringer, a statistics profes
sor, defeated Lynn Mcllhaney and
reclaimed a seat on the city council
as mayor.
Ringer gathered 1,639 or 55 per
cent of the votes to Mcllhaney’s
1,336 votes, 44 percent of the electo
rate.
Ringer said his first concerns will
be working on the city’s budget and
appointing members to the city’s
board and advisory committees.
Ringer said he plans to talk with the
city manager and council members
to outline the city’s needs and see
what direction the city should take.
Ringer served as a College Station
City Council member from 1976
through 1983. He currently serves
as a member of the A&M Faculty
Senate and as president of the Col
lege Station Library Committee.
During the week before the elec
tion letters were sent through Ring
er’s advertising agency, criticizing
Mcllhaney’s record. Ringer said he
had nothing to do with the letters.
“People know me and my record,
and what I stand for,” Ringer said.
“And a lot of people know my style,
and they know that’s not my style.”
Mcllhaney said the letters had
nothing to do with her defeat be
cause Ringer’s campaign was like
that from the beginning.
“It was hard to compete with the
lies,” Mcllhaney said. “I wanted to
run a positive campaign, but pri
vately my opponent didn’t.
“I’m not sure if there aren’t some
questions that they (Ringer’s cam
paign) owe the citizens some answers
to.”
In the race for Place 2, incumbent
Robert C. Runnels, an A&M meteo
rology professor, lost his re-election
bid. He became the first incumbent
councilman to be defeated since
1982, when John Dozier lost to Mcll
haney.
Sara G. Jones defeated Runnels
by a 58 percent to 41 percent mar
gin. Jones, a newcomer to city poli
tics, works for a local law firm.
Place 4 incumbent Pat Boughton,
who has served on the council since
1978, ran unopposed.
Dick Haddox defeated David Bro-
chu in the Place 6 race by a 62 per
cent to 37 percent margin. Haddox,
who serves on the board of directors
for Anco Insurance, is also a new
comer to the council.
As a result of the Bryan City
Council elections, there will be a new
face and an old face on the council
and a runoff election.
The Place 2 battle was overwhelm
ingly won by Randy Sims. Sims gar
nered 77 percent of the vote, while
opponents Lena Thomas and John
Powell gathered 12 percent and 9
percent respectively.
C.P. Vass and Larry Gatlin will be
in a runoff election for Place 4. A
runoff is necessary when a candidate
does not gather at least 50 percent of
the vote.
Catlin had 49 percent of the vote,
Vass had 32 percent and newcomer
Mike Kennedy had 17 percent.
In the Place 6 election incumbent
John Mobley narrowly defeated
Daniel Bragg with 51 percent of the
vote to Bragg’s 48 percent.
In the College Station School
Board elections Donald Carter de
feated Ronnie Fox for Place 5 by a
57 percent to 42 percent margin.
Deanna Wormuth ran unopposed
for Place 3, as did Larry Linder for
Place 4.
In the Bryan school board elec
tions Travis Nelson defeated Hillary
Jessup and E.N. Rutherford to gain
the Place 1 position.
In the race for Place 2, incumbent
Kay Hamilton handily defeated Ka
ren Sarkissian and Marty Peterson
Howard Cargill easily beat L.G.
Crum for Place 3.
