Page 8 The Battalion Wednesday, December 12, Oil executive: U.S. energy policy ‘not adequate’ Wednesd HOUSTON (AP) — The United States needs an energy policy or Americans will be like Californians awaiting the big earthquake, a lead ing oil executive said Tuesday. “I believe we are living along the fault lines of peril and the warning tremors are coming faster and with more force,” said James L. Dunlap, president of Houston-based Texaco U.S.A., a subsidiary of the nation’s third-largest oil company. “Americans don’t sense the full danger, and our policies are not ad equate to withstand the forces of dis order that may come. The Middle East crisis is a warning of the conse quences of an ineffective energy pol icy.” Dunlap gave the keynote speech at the annual Arthur Andersen Oil and Gas Symposium, which attracts energy producers from around the nation. He said the nation’s oil demand is growing while domestic energy pro duction declines. The number of U.S. refineries is declining and most are doing less work, Dunlap said. “The petroleum industry’s ability to respond to crisis has been com promised,” he said. “The task is compounded because energy poli cies are focused on public energy and environmental concerns, and not long-term energy and economic goals.” And consumers have become “fix ated” on higher gasoline prices rather than on the problem of for eign energy dependence, he said. “Until the American public be lieves we really need to be doing more than we’re doing, nothing’s going to happen,” Dunlap said. The Energy Department is ex pected to present President Bush with a series of energy policy goals later this month.

And in most cases, that’s $4 per gallon. That does not seem to have inhibited their ability to compete on the world market. “I’m not saying the price of gaso line in the United States tomorrow morning should be $4.

Ag! from Staff a Allegations continue in sexual abuse case at Lubbock school AUSTIN (AP) — Alleged sexual abuse of mentally retarded residents at Lubbock State School goes beyond recently reported rapes and preg nancies to include about 30 other in cidents, a newspaper reported. Lubbock police have assigned three detectives to work on investi gations of alleged sexual abuse at the school, The Austin American-States- man reported Tuesday. “There was just so much coming in,” Detecdve Billy Hudgens said. “It’s just grown more than one per son (can) check.” State officials say Lubbock State School is properly investigating all sexual abuse allegations. In the past month, police have re ceived three reports of alleged sex ual abuse at the institution, includ ing two allegations made since Thursday, city records show. Officials said one of the cases in volves a Lubbock State School worker who was fired in November after the institution confirmed that she had been masturbating a 25- year-old male resident, the Ameri- can-Statesman reported. Abuse and neglect reports com piled by the institution since 1983 show that half of the 29 cases of al leged sexual abuse involve cuts, bruises, swelling or rupture to male genitalia, the newspaper reported. The 29 reports do not include in formation on the two cases reported since Thursday to Lubbock police or the recent pregnancies of at least three retarded women. The reports show that a 22-year- old retarded resident who gave birth last year had complained of sexual abuse four times since 1983, but abuse never was confirmed by the school. Once, after she reported bcir; raped, the investigation concludt! o remain that she had fantasies, records ski Another of her abuse jcomplai was dismissed because there were witnesses, records show. “The more we learn, the worse. iave 8-10 gets,” said attorney David Ferlegt of Philadelphia, who representstk ng to p retarded plaintiffs in a class-acik during fir lawsuit alleging unconstitutiom Earns,” Davis: “Our play conditions in state schools.

Judge orders jurors to decide in S&L case 31 DALLAS (AP) — A federal judge c-week- has ordered jurors in the six- long fraud trial of former Vernon Savings Association owner Don R. Dixon to try to reach a verdict in the case. The eight-woman, four-man jury was to begin its fifth day of deliber ations at noon today, a spokeswo man forjudge A.Joe Fish said. Although jurors sent a note to Fish that they were deadlocked on some of the 38 charges against Dixon, the judge replied they had not deliberated long enough, the court spokeswoman said. Jurors took the case late Wednes day after hearing more than f» weeks of testimony, and jury seld tion took almost a week. During trial, prosecutors called more two dozen witnesses. Dixon and a handful ofothersti tified in his defense. He is accused misusing thousands of dollars froij the failed thrift for a Califoi beach home, prostitutes andpoli contributions. Jurors gave no indication which charges they had stumbled Dixon, if convicted on all against him, could be sentenced up to 190 years in prison and! fined $9.5 million Highway accident kills 15 in Tennessee CALHOUN, Tenn. (AP) — Two chain reaction crashes on a highway in southeastern Tennessee killed 15 people Tuesday, injured more than 50 and left the roadway looking like a war zone. A dense morning fog covered In terstate 75 over the Hiwassee River, about 40 miles north of Chatta nooga, when the 75-vehicle pileup began about 9:30 a.m., said Cecil Whaley, director of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. People involved in the accident, which covered more than a mile of the interstate, described hearing booms in the fog as dozens of trac tor-trailers collided with cars and also each other. Whaley confirmed 15 dead, but said the number could rise as crews searched the burned shells of vehi cles. In some cases, only nameplates distinguished the wreckage of a car smashed into the side of a truck. “This is one of the worst accidents that anyone can remember happen ing in Tennessee in terms of the number of vehicles and fatalities in volved,” said Whaley, who followed rescue efforts from his Nashville of fice. Names of the victims would not be immediately released because soi of the bodies were burned beyo* 1 recognition, Whaley said. Authorities believe an initial atf dent occurred in the southbou# lane, and cars jumping the medi* or people rubbernecking to seed 11 southbound crash may have caus? : the second pileup in the northb# lane. K( Russell Newman, eastern distf regional director of the Tennes^ Emergency Medical Agency, saidi* one is really sure what happened “It’s just a conjecture as to v>t/ caused it, but it was just one of the* damn chain reaction collisions th* 1 happen in this kind of situation' very heavy fog and probably i° much speed,” Newman said. In Washington, the Nation 1 Transportation Safety Board said was dispatching a six-person team 1 experts in highway and hazardt- material investigations. The interstate was blocked in directions, hampering efforts wi move the injured to hospitals Athens and Cleveland. HelicopP from Knoxville and Chattanofe helped with the evacuation. ex. 6<
