Atheists say
O'Hair not
circulating
petition
AUSTIN — The American
Atheist Center on Monday den
ied what it said are rumors that
founder Madalyn Murray O’Hair
is circulating a petition aimed at'
ending religious radio and tele
vision broadcasts.
Neither O’Hair nor the Ameri
can Atheists “have ever filed any
etitions to remove religious
roadcasting from TV or radio,”
the Austin-based organization
said in a press release.
The statement said rumors are
circulating that O’Hair had col
lected 27,000 signatures support
ing a petition calling on the Fed-
eral Communications
Commission to end religious
broadcasting.
The statement, prepared by
organization spokesman Brian
Lynch, did say the group believes
commercial broadcasters and ca
ble television operators shouldn’t
grant free or reduced-cost time to
religious groups.
Official says
Reagan should
aid oil market
WASHINGTON — Lobbyists for
Israel gave a standing ovation to
Texas Railroad Commissioner Mack
Wallace on Monday after he crit
icized the Reagan administration for
not aiding independent U.S. oil pro
ducers.
The administration has resisted
price stabilization measures as inter
ference in the marketplace, he said.
But, Wallace said, “There has
never been a free market in the pro
duction of oil and gas in the free
world and there never will be.”
He urged the several hundred at
tendees at a morning meeting of the
American Israeli Public Affairs
Committee to support U.S. oil pro
ducers “so we don’t have to bow on
our knees to Saudia Arabia or any
body else.”
“When 75 percent of the oil is
produced by governments, it be
comes an instrument of foreign pol
icy. You say, ‘You sell me arms or I’ll
cut off your oil supply. You send
your vice president to talk to me
about the free market,’ ” Wallace
said, drawing loud applause.
It’s swimsuit season again and get
ting rid of that warm winter fat is a
prime goal for many. Unfortunately,
in their efforts to get fit, too many
people will injure or overwork them
selves, a Texas A&M fitness expert
says.
Larry Mulligan, a doctoral stu
dent at the Physiology and Research
Conditioning Laboratory, says unfit
eople generally try to train too
ard before they are ready.
According to Mulligan, “They ex
ceed their training heart rate. They
overestimate their fitness.”
A training heart rate is the num
ber of heartbeats counted each min
ute while a person is exercising. It’s
not an exact number but a range, he
says.
Mulligan says if you exercise at
the high end of the range, you will
increase the amount of work your
heart can do.
Exercising less intensely for
longer periods of time will burn
more fat, he says.
The exercise must be done for at
least 20 minutes and no less than
three times a week or the work is
wasted, he says. However, an unfit
person should work up to exercising
20 minutes by starting at a few min
utes each day, Mulligan says.
A person over age 35 should get a
stress test before starting an exercise
program, he says.
“That will tell them their maxi
mum heart rate and their training
heart rate,” he says.
Besides training too hard, he says
many people injure themselves
through the poundings they inflict
on their bodies — particularly
through jogging and aerobics. The
pounding can cause joint and skele
tal muscle problems, he says.
The main problem in running oc
curs in the gait people have, Mulli
gan says. Walking develops a certain
pattern in the gait which carries over
to running, he says. Gait problems
can cause soreness in the hip.
Runners can tell what kind of gait
they have by checking the wear on
the heels of their shoes, Mulligan
says. If their heels show wear in the
inside then they can buy running
shoes to correct their form, he says.
Mulligans says always warm-up
before exercising. Most people don’t
warm-up even though it will increase
their flexibility and lessen the strain
on their heart, he says.
Warm-up also allows for more ef
ficient energy use during intensive
exercising, Mulligan says.
“Going at it too quickly incurs an
oxygen debt which you can’t make
up,” Mulligan says.
Warming-up is probably more im
portant in aerobics because of the
varied movements. Mulligan says.
People especially need to work on
flexibility during warm-up because
of the range of motions, he says.
“If they haven’t done anything
aerobic in the last 6 months, I’d tell
them to be cautious,” Mulligan says.
“They need to do a little less than
they think they can actually do.”
Even more than warming-up, the
warm-down period is probably the
most neglected aspect of exercising,
Mulligan says. He says most people
don’t allow their system to cool
down.
“The body will realize you’re slow
ing down and will slow down its me
tabolism,” Mulligan says.
“One of the worst things to do is
jump in a cold or lukewarm shower.
It shocks your skin and increases
your heart rate — it puts an extra
demand on the heart.”
The pace of the exercise should
be decreased slowly such as going
from running to a moderate walk,
Mulligan says.
If a person is worried about their
fitness level they can have a stress
test performed on them at the Physi
ology Research and Conditioning
Labratory, Mulligan says.
An exercise program will be pre
scribed after the tests results are
evaluated, he says. The testing
ranges in cost from $80 to $100. The
labratory is at the south end of Kyle
Field.
Expert: Losers in oil glut will be winners
DALLAS (AP) — The oil-price plunge has created
lots of economic losers in Texas, but some people are
cashing in on the world-wide glut of crude, a Texas
Tech petroleum engineer says.
While oil consumers are benefiting most right now,
Robert E. Garble predicted that most of today’s winners
will be tomorrow’s losers as prices begin to rise again.
According to Garble, a petroleum engineer for more
than 30 years,“Consumers, who are the real winners to
day, are ultimately going to be asked to pay more for
the product.”
The real long-term winners will be petroleum engi
neers who will be in great demand once prices go up
and oil exploration and production returns to profitabi
lity, he said.
“I believe the price will stabilize in the $17 to $20 area
for a period of time,” said Garble, in a departure from
some economists who expect stabilization in the $15
range.
“But I do believe that within the measurable future
— and I don’t know if that’s three to five years — this
cycle will reverse itself completely.”
When prices do go up, he said, they probably will rise
higher than before — to at least $30 per barrel. That
will spark a resurgence in the oil industry, but by then it
might be too late for some domestic producers who are
shutting down wells until they can be profitable again.
The problem with shutting down wells is that many
will not produce as much oil as they did before they
were closed, Garble said.
“There’s a high probability that once you’ve shut in a
well, you’ve disturbed the flow patterns that brought
the oil to the casing,” he said.
As a result of rising prices and loss of production ca
pacity, oil exploration will resume, he said. And that’s
good news for petroleum engineers and schools that
train them.
He said the 29 petroleum engineering departments
in the United States have a total of 3,000 to 4,000 stu
dents. As exploration resumes, he said, the 900 to 950
graduates in each of the next four years will be in high
demand.
Salaries will rise and many graduates will get several
job offers, he predicted.
Garble said the supply of petroleum engineering
graduates lags four years behind demand as high
school seniors enroll in four-year engineering pro
grams at colleges and universities.
“The demand might go up, but it will take four or
4 1 / 2 years to get the engineers,” he said. “I believe we’re
in that four-year cycle today. I believe our freshmen to
day will have some of the greatest challenges and great
opportunities of any graduating class preceding them.*’
Some of the biggest eventual winners will be the oil
men in West Texas who are suffering so much now.
War memorial plan approved after protest
AUSTIN (AP) — A House com
mittee approved plans Monday for -
separate Korean and Vietnam war
memorials on the Capitol grounds
despite protests from competing
Vietnam veterans’ groups.
“This whole memorial effort here
sbnks,” said Buck Dopp, a Temple
railroad worker who said he was
public relations officer for the Texas
Alliance For Vietnam Veterans.
“These plans show no emotion,”
said Harry Ettmueller, Austin, of the
Texas Association of Vietnam Veter
ans, who said his group had no con
nection with the Dopp alliance. “We
want something that will make thou
sands want to come see it, like the
(Vietnam Veterans) Wall in Wash
ington.”
The Texas State Veterans Memo
rial Committee voted unanimously
to go ahead with its previous plans to
select separate memorials for veter
ans of the Korean and Vietnam con
flicts from three finalists.
The finalists were selected in a
competition among 58 bidders.
The three designers were autho
rized to construct scale models, at a
production cost of $5,000 each. The
final design will be selected from
those, officials said.
The finalists are Stuart Kraft, a
Dallas sculptor; Richard Harrel Rog
ers, a San Antonio sculptor; and
Black, Atkinson & Vernooy Ar
chitects of Austin.
On a motion from Rep. Sam
Johnson, R-Plano, the committee
was authorized to make alterations
in the final design with the cooper
ation of the winning designer.
Rep. Frank Collazo Jr., committee
chairman, said six members of the
panel were veterans of the Korean
military action and five had served
in Vietnam.
The two memorials, one on each
side of Congress Avenue north of
the Capitol, will be a part of the Ses-
quicentennial Park to be built at
Congress and Martin Luther King
Boulevard.
The park also will contain a Sequi-
centennial statue of a group of cow
boys herding Texas longhorns
across a railroad track.
The committee voted not to ac
cept recommendations from Gary
Franks of Houston, a member of the
memorial committee’s fund-raising
effort, that the design contest be re
opened.
Ettmueller supported Franks, say
ing the public hadn’t been properly
informed of the memorial plans.
