The projects then are subcon tracted to the universities. “It’s a mechanism whereby a fac ulty member can work with that kind of project without having to do it on their own campus,” Armstrong said. Greg LeRoy, director of Houston- based public interest group Public Search, said, however, that the re search still shouldn’t be conducted at universities that prohibit classified studies. “They (HARC) divide a military contract into, say, 10 sections,” Le Roy said. “Cutting that down, they restructure that program, calling it something else. But it still would be related to that particular program and it would be related to that par ticular type of research. “That’s not technically legal, but there again, no one has challenged it. I suspect a very vigorous chal lenge could be made, and it could go as far as the Supreme Court, but someone has to take the time to do it.” Although no litigation has been brought against HARC, LeRoy says he sees indications of “tremendous opposition” at Rice and UH to HARC’s subcontracting Strategic, Defense Initiative research contract- ing. He cites a parallel opposition in a Science magazine survey that shows only 9.5 percent of National Aca demy of Science members support the SDI program and 57 percent of the faculty members in the nation’s top twenty physics departments have pledged not to accept SDI funding. Yet HARC says it receives 25 to 30 percent of its funding from SDI re search, LeRoy said. Instead of opposition to the sub contracted research, however, Ham ilton said the universities benefit by allowing faculty members to work on research projects off campus. “It’s an advantage to the universi ties to keep certain faculty members they might lose to industry because they couldn’t do that research on campus,” she said. Research done in HARC later could be applied to classified pro jects. Feenan Jennings, A&M executive director of University research, said, “If the Navy, for example, wants to apply that research to something classified, they can, and it (research findings) is classified.” But some object to what they see as HARC’s deception. “HARC is camouflaging military research and development so that it can be sneaked onto the Texas A&M campus in the guise of civilian re search,” LeRoy wrote in a general in formation letter. “It is a national program to funnel contentious military programs onto local university campuses,” he wrote. “It appears that HARC is a cooper ative effort between private defense contractors and military and intelli gence agencies.” A&M does accept some classified research, Anderson said, some of which comes from the Department of Defense. He estimates the total value of department-sponsored ac tivity is $12 million, less that 10 per cent of the total University research budget of $176 million. That proportion of classified re search is probably stable, Anderson said. "Our general feeling is that we do not want to increase our classified activities on the campus,” he said. “If we are asked to do so,” he said, “we will consider it, because neither do we wish to ban or forbid it. “The policy, then, is that faculty members should be free to propose to assist the government in doing classified work where it is appropri ate and where they wish to be in volved in advanced work.” “The required security measures are difficult to maintain,” she said. “You can’t necessarily let graduate students work on these projects —if they’re working on it for their thesis, they must publish the thesis, but you can’t publish classified materials. ( “A university campus is an open, free kind of environment. And for that kind of research (classified), you need a secure environment.” Jennings also addressed the raised concern some have about the safety of classified materials on an open campus but says such research may be beneficial. “If it contributes to the advance of knowledge and the education of the students and if A&M can do the re search we should do it.” Tl- Whether or not graduate students can assist with classified projects is tentative, but their access to other re search benefits is guaranteed, in cluding use of the SX-2, the fastest supercomputer in the world. “It's a moral question. Pro fessors at campuses are doing what they consider to be pure research, un der the assumption that it will be used as such, when actually it is a National Sci ence Foundation pro gram, for example. ” — Greg LeRoy, director of public interest group Public Search The $22 million computer can cal culate 1.3 billion multiplications per second, performing in 23 seconds what it took HARC’s previous com puter, a VAX 750, one week to com plete. “Training doctoral students on a VAX is about like training them ona slide rule,” Mitchell said. Like classified research subcon tracting, use of the supercomputer involves a research agreement. HARC didn’t actually buy the SX-2, but instead established a cooperative research agreement with Nippon Electric Co., which invented the ma chine, Anderson said. A significant restriction that ac companies classified research, how ever, is the projects’ demand of se crecy, Anderson said. “(We want to) protect our class rooms from the intrusion of this sort of thing into what has always been a free and open atmosphere for in quiry and for discussion and de bate,” he said. “We do not want to have our faculty members inhibited in performing their roles by not be ing able to discuss significant parts of their own lives and their own ac tivities.” LeRoy’s objection is that not only are students and colleagues left uninformed about the researcher’s work, but even the researchers do not always realize what is done with their project results. “It’s a moral question,” he said. “Professors at campuses are doing what they consider to be pure re search, under the assumption that it will be used as such, when actually it is a National Science Foundation program, for example.” But Armstrong’s concern about classified research at universities is for the protection of the research work. “We have quite frequent interac tion with the Japanese on joint re search programs that should be done on the supercomputer at HARC,” Anderson said. “Rather than sell the machine to us and take dollars out of the coun try,” he said, “they have chosen in stead to invest in HARC by making the machine available. They have also given $500,000 a year to HARC to invest in joint research pro grams.” Before 1982, LeRoy said, HARC and such joint agreements couldn’t even have been established because of antitrust laws. “A consortium of major universities has a monopoly on the research,” he said. Not until 1984’s Cooperative Re search Act, he said, did the legality of research consortiums become more stable. “But there are still very great problems with the antitrust laws,” he said. With new, immediate obstacles to confront, however, Mitchell is ready to continue HARC’s expansion. “It can help build the institutions and get the money flowing in,” he said. “It can revolutionize the re gion, but it may possibly take 20 or 30 years. “But I think it has merit. We’ll )ort it.

(AP) — A spectacular explosion ripped through a Mobil oil refinery Tuesday evening, sending a billow of orange flame that could be seen for miles hundreds of feet into the air. “It was a huge explosion,” said Anne Peterson, a nearby resident. “We all thought it was an aftershock (from an earthquake).” There were no immediate reports of injuries. A spokesman for Mobil could not be reached in a call made to corporate offices in the Los Angeles area. The refinery is surrounded by residential neighbor hoods, but the fire appeared to be far enough away from homes that there was no immediate need for evac uations. Pedestrians and the curious were being or dered away, however. As firefighters battled the flames that lit the night sky. for miles around the refinery in the heart of Torrance, witnesses reported that more than one explosion may have occurred. “I was just driving down the street when I heard a big explosion and saw the flames and smoke,” said Jose Torres, 28.“It was bigger than the Fourth of July. The. first explosion was the biggest, but the second and third sent up the highest flames.” Los Angeles County fire companies responded, along with medical workers and a special foam fire fighting unit, dispatcher Hubert Parker said.
