Attack spurs safety worries for police DALLAS (AP) — Authorities are concerned by the growing number of attacks on police officers by crimi nals released early from prison. A sniper attack on a squad car Fri day night marked the 21st time this year that shots have been fired at a Dallas officer, compared with 12 in cidents over the same period last year, statistics show. Six officers have been shot, one more than last year. “It is almost a sure bet that the next assault on an officer is going to be done by someone on parole, or fresh out of the pen,” Deputy Police Chief Marlin Price said. “I would take that bet right now.” The number of assaults on offi cers rose from 239 last year to 269 in 1986, an increase of 12.6 percent. Friday’s sniper attack appeared to be a random act, Price said. A small- caliber bullet shattered the wind shield of the squad car as the officer pulled into a parking lot. Price said the department is trying to reduce the risks to officers. Offi cers are being extensively trained in self-defense and in the use of a more sophisticated police baton. “Hopefully, the PR-24 will reduce officer injury in scuffles and as saults,” Price said. “However, there’s not much we can do about outside influences, the predators of the city out there to do harm.” SMU awarded $2.8 million for research DALLAS (AP) — Southern Meth odist University has received a $2.8 million Defense Department con tract. to research uses of advanced computer technology, the university announced Monday. Officials said the research could lead to enhanced computer speed. “SMU is in a uniquely good posi tion to do this research because they have good connections with other universities in Texas,” said Craig Fields, chief scientist of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. “More importantly, they’re right in the center of one of the ma jor areas of defense industry in the nation.” DARPA is the Defense Depart ment agency that finances innova tive basic and applied research. The contract was awarded to SMU in Au gust. The two-year award will be used by the SMU School of Engineering to buy a $400,000 computer to study methods of achieving enhanced computer speed, the Dallas Morning News reported. The computer will be equipped with 20 main chips or central pro cessing units, the newspaper said. Increasing computer speed could lead to advances in artificial intelli gence, robotics, manufacturing, computer chip design, signal pro cessing and generation of realistic- looking images with computers. The contract came after an unsoli cited proposal the school submitted to DARPA a year and a half ago, said Robert R. Possum, dean of the SMU engineering school. Research will focus on determin ing how to adapt mathematical prob lem-solving techniques for use on the new generation of multichip computers. Standard computers with one cen tral chip carry out computations one step at a time and are known as serial computers. U.S. foreign oil dependence on rise, industry survey shows — ,e Art Soum* 1 'Set-ups Music ftW® It IW HOUSTON (AP) — The plunge [ in oil prices and subsequent decline in exploration is permanently chan ging the U.S. oil industry and leav ing the nation more dependent on [foreign oil, according to a survey re- [ leased Monday by Arthur Andersen & Co. | “At today’s prices, it doesn’t make economic sense to undertake explo ration in the United States,” Richard Adkerson, managing director of oil and gas services for the accounting firm, said. “We’ve just got to have higher prices.” Adkerson said a proposed $18- per-barrel standard being consid ered by OPEC oil ministers meeting in Geneva will do little to improve the plight of the domestic energy producers. I “At $18 per barrel, you do not have high enough prices to stave off higher levels of imports,” he said. “It appears the goal of Saudi Arabia is to shut off exploration, particularly | in the United States.” He predicted further layoffs, t mergers and bankruptcies in Ameri can firms, although he hoped the in- • dustry would be starting a slow turn around. Asked if the bottom has been reached, he replied, “I think so, but I think we’re crawling along at the bottom.” He also acknowledged that most Americans are enjoying lower en ergy prices and that the decline in inflation, fueled by lower energy prices, has been beneficial. The bloom, however, may be short-lived, he warned. “It’s virtually impossible to con vince people to take a long-range outlook,” he said. “The thing to wake people up is when they have to wait two hours to get gasoline.” The accounting Firm’s annual sur vey of domestic oil companies shows sharp drops in capital expenditures and re-investment and deteriorating replacement of reserves, with inde pendent producers taking the hard est hits. “The lower level of expenditures will result in lower addition of re serves in 1986, 1987 and 1988,” Ad kerson said. In 1985, according to the survey, less than 65 percent of the nation’s oil was replaced. In prior years, it was more than 100 percent. “The excessive supply of oil worldwide, the depressed demand for energy, and the challenges caused by deregulation have let to this situation,” he said. “A realistic appraisal provides no evidence that a significant economic recovery will occur in the near future, particularly for the U.S. oil and gas producing industry. “Survey results, combined with ongoing developments in and future expectations about oil and gas mar kets, indicate that these conditions will likely remain with us for the rest of this decade.” For U.S. oil firms, the accounting firm said, the short-term effects of the situation will be continued dras tic reductions in cash flow, poor fi nancial results, increased interest in buying and selling reserves and more consolidations and business failures. “The very significant falloff in capital spending will take its toll,” he predicted. “While the falloff in prices will stimulate demand, there’s no realistic analysis of data to indi cate a boom in the near term.” ^««llllillll]l lllli MSC CAFETERIA MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER-TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SPECIALS $989 3737 E 29th St Bryan.
