a weapon is not to be removed from the
holster at any time except to protect the
police officer‘s life or the life of an in-
nocent person against criminal activity.

“We drill our people. from the day we
interview them for a job until the day they
leave here on the importance of these
regulations," Harrison said. “I feel con-
fident myself that these people will not
misuse their weapons.

“Some departments will tolerate their
police officers firing warning shots at a
fleeing felon or suspected felon." Harrison
said. “This is an absolute no-no in this
department. If a man misused his weapon
in any manner he would certainly be
subject to immediate dismissal, and they
are all aware of that."

“The emphasis of the study is review

The thrust of the program is to “see

said the study will be the first at UK to
determine costs on an individual student

The (‘ouncil on Public Higher Education
has set July I as a deadline for completion
ofthe cost study. King said the study would
play a key role in formulating the
l'niversity‘s biennial budget request.

previous studies were evaluated on the

The information will be “assimilated in

make no decisions but play an advisory

Oil import tariff
vs. gas rationing

President Ford‘s honeymoon with
Congress may have ended with his
pardon of Richard Nixon, but the
divorce battle is just now beginning.
The stage is set for the President’s
first major showdown with Congress
over the economicand energy policies
of the US.

If there was ever a time in recent
years when the President and
Congress needed to be in agreei ent,
it is now. The American people cannot
be expected to agree with and sup-
port any energy and economic
program when their government is in
conflict and turmoil over what should
be done.

Senator Hubert Humphrey tried to
arrange a meeting between the
President a nd the Democratic leaders
of Congress in hopes of coming up
with a program which could be
supported by everyone and would not
cause public division. But the
senator‘s efforts were in vain, as the
meeting was never held. The
Presidenta nd the Congress went their
separate ways.

The President has proposed a tax
rebate which would put more money
back into the hands of taxpayers.
Congress has subscribed to this idea.
occasionally calling for a larger
rebate than was proposed, but there is
general agreement nonetheless. It is
Ford‘s energy proposals that have
caused the controversy and precip-
tated the showdown.

Ford has proposed a boost in the
import tariff on foreign oil of $3 a
barrel to be enacted over a three-
month period. Many Congressmen
have opposed this proposal while
pushing for a strict rationing system
as a means for conserving gasoline.

It has been over a year since the
war and oil embargo in the Middle
East and still the US. has no con—
sistent and effective energy policy.
Although the Administration has

Letters to the editor

implied it. the President should
openly inform the nation that the
immediate grave concern over oil
consumption is not strictly aimed at
alleviating the present economic
problems but is also based on fear of
an impending war in the Middle East
and the possibility of another oil
embargo.

The current energy problems of the
nation demand action. By signing the
oil tariff increase last week the
President has assured the nation of
action. Whether the result will be
gasoline rationing or simply a raise in
the price of gasoline will depend
largely on Congress.

The arguments against both sides
are persuasive. Ford‘s proposal
would raise the price of gasoline at
the pump, but by no more than five
cents a gallon according to most
experts. Even this would make it
difficult for many. 0n the other hand,
the increase in gasoline prices will
also boost the prices of most con-
sumer goods. The rationing program
would be a long-term proposal of five
to 10 years. While it would assure
more equal distribution, the program
could not be implemented for several
months. And, with over 110 million
automobiles in the US. today, Ford
contends that the rationing program
would require an administrative
bureaucracy of over 10.000 people to
oversee its operation.

Democrats in Congress want to
jump in with too much too soon. If the
choice in energy conservation comes
down to the black and white dif-
ferences between what Ford has
proposed and what Congress has
proposed, then the Ford program
appears better-fitted to the times.
Gasoline-rationing offers too many
opportunities for expensive federal
disaster. and should be preserved as a
last-ditch alternative.

Care to bet on economy?

By NICHOLAS \‘UN HUFFMAN

W.>\Slll.\i(;'l‘t).\‘ ~— Heard from a few

difference is that in Vegas everybody

here. But even if Fortune docs choose us to
be the rare gambler who finds prosperity
at the dice tables. we're still subject to a
system which depends on cyclical and
increasingly harsh recessions to maintain
itself. To fix that, more is needed than
tinkering with the taxes

HOWEVER, nothing else is getting
attention except energy conservation, ()n

How to relate

That a graduate assistant in

compliment to her department,

Who or what committee

Ms. English may have a 4.0

shortage is the worst in twtnty years.
the situation was perhaps best summed
up by a driller from Oklahoma: ”I
bought a $20,000 house. l only had
to p;.y $52,000 for it and they'll let
me finish the downstairs any way 1
like."

But nowhere, it seems. is the impact
of the boom more pronounced than in
Fairbanks. the interior city that proudly
bills itself as “Hub of the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline.“

It is a harried hub. Crime is up.
The jail is full. The overburdened
telephone system does not work. Rents
have soared $200 in a single month,
and traffic jams in the cramped. down-
town area are commonplace. Worse.

officmls concede there is little hope
for relief in the coming years.

Supplies are a major problem, and
there has been a rash of shortages
ranging from kitty litter to typewriter
ribbons. four—whecl-drive vehicles and
ax handles, elastic bandages, ninwvolt
batteries and rock salt. Steel goods
we especially scarce. and a hardware
store owner recently puzzled over a
delivery shipment of bolts but no
hexagonal nuts.

Housewives, lllt‘.illW'illil‘, haunt the

 

markets complaining of shortages of
fresh fruit and vegetables, while their
men living in construction camps dine
like kings.

This is Fairbanks, a town of Stetsons
and snowshoes, crammed with boomers
who have come north to carve new
legends in the Alaskan wilderness.
There are mechanics from New Jersey,
truckers from Texas, Oklahoma rough-
ll cks and California catskinners(trac-
tor-driver), all lured by jobs paying
up to SL400 a week.

Profits everywhere are up dra-
matically, but businessmen complain
about the lack of reliable help as
Workers stage a revolving-door exodus
to take pipeline jobs. A dishwasher
who earns less than $650 a month in
town can nearly quadruple his salary
in a construction (amp, and competi-
tion is predictably keen.

Jobs are earmarked for qualified
Alaskans and outsiders who must be
hired through union halls, but the
rewards for the comparative few are
impressive.

An electrician home on leave spends
$3,500 in three days. “I bought every-
thing I wanted," he says, adding
sheepishly, “and everything everyone
else wanted, too.”

Another worker cashes $6,000 worth
of paychecks, then one-ups the spend-
ing sprees of fellow boomers by play-
ing Monopoly. With real money. A
cavalier catskinner buys a $700 fur
parka for a lady friend who lives in
Texas. laborers on leave plan exotic
vacations in Spain, and Greece or
Acapulco. But the pipeline project
is not without its troubles.

Many workers cannot adjust to the
schedule of working nine weeks
straight, followed by one week off,
:‘nd high turnover is a problem. A
series of costly but as yet nonfatal
fires have plagued camps from Valdez
to Prudhoe Bay, and attempts to bridge
the fabled Yukon are lagging behind
schedule.

More serious, perhaps, with the
gathering momentum of the boom

tome indications of tension and bit-
terness, as residents come to realize
that their ruggsd, separatist life—style
is threatened.

'l‘he Alaskans themselves—not polar
bears or caribou—are the real en-
dangercd species, and it is evident
with the passing of each new pipeline
contract that the Alaska of just a year
ago Will never be again.

“I went through six months of buy-
ing things because I never had so much
money in my life," says the wife of
one worker. “I finally turned off. The

money keeps coming in and 1 don't
like it. Every week there’s more of
it in the bank and I don’t know what
to do with it. We're planning to build
a cabin down the road and get away
from all this.”

hum. Just another boom in Fairbanks

Still. there are those who are not
unduly concerned—or impressed—with
the impact of the pipeline, especially
in a city that has witnessed other
booms, during the gold rush, and the
days of DEW-line construction, and in
the “early" oil days back in '69.

Capt. Lewis J. Gibson sits in his
small office at the police station and
considers the problems.

“Everybody says, ‘Aren’t you wor-
ri d about it?”

Captain Gibson smiles, a patient.
almost bored smile.

“it’s just another boom," he shrugs,
“and some day it will go away."

Steve Kline, a iOurnalist, is writing

Slope.

Economic crap shooting

('ontiiiued from page 2

No clear answer has been given to that
question. Some days we‘re told we can‘t let
other countries increase their wealth;

other days it's the balance of payments

we‘re supposed to be worried about.

although no one in the Administration is
concerned enough to stop encouraging the

corporate export of American investment
capital. And never a word is heard about

the fortune annually lost paying for the
military expenses of that hemorrhaging
anachronism foreigners call the American

Empire.

The last solution on the agenda is Dr.
Kissiiiger‘s coyly gurlged threats of war,
those intermittent whispers of menace, all
so carefully hedged with provisos about
how we‘d do it only in the event of “some
actual strangulation of the industrial
world." It's said that the famous Doctor of
Diplomacy and Mr. Ford emit these
mumiiirs. not because they mean to act
upon them. but only to make the possible

use of force “credible" to the oilexporting
nations. As though, with our record of 50 or
more foreign. armed interventions since
1900, anybody, except ourselves, needs
convincing.

Possibly Dr. K. says these things to
accustom his compatriots to the idea he's
contemplating the biggest gas station
holdup in history. In any event, the only
successful Federal job creation program
going on in this moment of unemployment
is the Pentagon recruitment program. so
that if war isn't the health of the state.
many maybe tempted to think otherwise.

But none of the above is humane.
rational thought it‘s all crap shooting. The
players rolling the dice may make their
point. but they could roll snake eyes and
turn a recession into a depression or do
something worse

0 O
didn't vote In fall election

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four of five Americans between the ages
of 18 and 21 stayed away from the polls in the 1974 mid-term
elections. the Census Bureau reported Sunday.

Among all categories of voters nationwide. only those
approaching retirement age bucked the pattern of massive apathy
toward last fall‘s balloting, according to bureau statistics.

Besides young people, minorities and women showed the least
interest in the congressional elections and the selection of
governors and local officials.

Overall. only 45 per cent of a record 141 million eligible voters
reported going to the polls last Nov. 5, Many of the estimated 76
million who stayed home said they were either uninterested or
disliked politics in the post—Watergate era.

The preliminary (‘ensus Bureau report was based upon
interviews of more than 100,000 eligible voters questioned two
weeks after the election
