LETTERS EDITORIALS Students Framed In New Governance Picture The filial version of the L'SM governance constitution should be canned. Our reason u clear. Our country u a democracy. Every citizen get a vote in electing representative to it governing body. The new governance constitution completely disavows the one-man, one vote concept our country u based on. We do not wish studente to selfishly amass power as the faculty has in the new university governance constitution We support the one- man, one vote concept. There an 225 resident faculty and 1,(107 day student There are 3.S02 CED students and 86 CED faculty. There are 55 orofcsMonak. 235 classified employees and 3,010 summer session stuoenu.

The new bus schedule ha been posted on bulletin boards, flashed on the electronic bulletin boards, listed in this newspaper, and aired over the canpus radio station The problem mb these mrtnodsof com- munication is that they an not readily available when student need them most. Student usually don't have an electric bulletin board, radio, or newspaper with them while willing at the bus stop. At tu latest meeting the Student Editorials by Affairs Committee voted to place the bus schedule on posters in the lobbies of Payson Smith andBailey Hall . There t a better way to pro- mote use of the third bu . It is by placing permanent signs outdoors at the du stop . Student might then consider bypassing an over- crowded bus and waiting fifteen minutes for the third bus.

The sad truth i that the persons who presently select univer- sity of Maine president are deeply muvd in politics.

The concept that universities are created for student u not always clear to those in the university com , munity. The student ngbt of suf- frage would clarify this concept. Students would be able to select a president who w pro-student. Prea- ■dent who plot sgpunst student in- tereat would be denied another term of office.

Portland. Me., Press Herald. Thursday. October 18. 1973 Tank War Peaks Along Canal American Consumer May Feel War By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent The new Arab-Israel war can mean a delayed but painful jolt to the American consumer and perhaps even to his Weal Eu- ropean and Japanese counter- parts. The war’s impact on an al- ready worrisome energy situ- ation depends on whether - And how much — the Arab oil producers want to punish Wash- ington for supporting Israel. Current figures show that Arab oi accounts for about 1.1 million barrels a day of U.S. imports, or only about six per cent of the U.S. daily con- sumption. It is highly unlikely that the Arab nations ever would net in unison to cut of! ali of that. But even what might seem a relatively small cutback would hurt In today’s circumstances. Western thtrs: for oil rises so sharply and rapidly that avail- able statistics tend to fall be- hind the actual situation. But it could easily happen that measures to conserve energy would require rapid and burdensome rationing for the U.S. public, say Industry ex- perts. Several days ago William E. Stmor., chairman of the Presi- dent's Oil Policy Committee, said that if the Uniter States was willing to make an ail out conservation effort it could cut consumption by as much as three million barrels a day. That could be achieved, but not without very severe ratio- ning. says John Licbtblau. an oil economist with tbo Petro- leum industry Research Foun- dation. A petroleum planner who askod to remain anonymous said that without stringent ra- tioning the best that might be accomplished would be a cut of half that much. As of this mooli) the United Stales was importing 6.4 mil- lion barrels of crude and refine- ry products daily, n large chunk cf a daily U.S. con- sumption estimated anywhere between 13 and 17 million bar- rels. The sources of these im- ports arc Iran, Nigeria, Cana- da, Latin America And the Arab producing countries. Recent figures indicate im- ports from Canada al the rale of about 71 mil!ion barrels a month, and LaUn America. 42 million. June figures from the Department of Commerce showed Iran shipping 7.733.0CO barrels a month to the United States and Nigeria. 12.302,COO. The following figures repre- sent the latest available Dc partment of Commerce break- down on Arab oil imports, country-oy-country.

Before Gene Krupa drums were basic- ally a boring metronome for the band Post-Krupa drums became the driving force of jazz music Gene Krupa Night at Your Father's Mustache was one of the last times Gene played a full night of drumming. He would appear briefly at Louis Armstrong Day at the iNcwport Jazz Festival in New York last summer and get a standing ovatioo. But by then he could barely play for a whole song, much less a whole set. At a special Newport Festival drummers' session, Jo Jones presented Krupa with a scroll honoring his contribution to r. It was signed, Jones said. every drummer of signifi- cance in the United States and «as designed to honor Krupa. suffering from leukemia, while he is still alive.'' Krupa died Tuesday. He was 64 go, but it had little impact be- cause the United States didn't need Arab oil then. Today trere is no spare pro- duction capacity in the United States to speak of, or almost any place else. Arab producers don't want, to Shut off their oil incomes Even a temporary shutdown would hurt and could even damage the Arab war effort that their contributions help finance. A selective embargo seeking to shut off exports :o the United States wouldn't work, either, because transshipment deals could get the oil to America anyway. The most likely action lies In slowdown of production or re- fusal to step it up to meet ever- growing needs. Japan would feel the impact quickly, relying as it does on Middle East Im- ports. So would Western Eu- rope. market for 30 per cert of Arab oil. In turn, pressures would increase cn available nor.-Arab oil supplies. Probably nothing short of an Arab-Israet cease-fire can re- lieve Arab oil regimes of the pressure to do something. If the rulers do act. whatever they do is likely to herald dislocations in the United States and per- haps Europe and Japan as well. To meet an emergency, the United States might try to con- serve by such measures as re- duced highway speed limits, car pools, reduction of airline loads, reduction of healing, air conditioning and lighting ia buildings and similar steps. But experts say voluntary measures on an unpoliced basis could hardly bring achievement of the conservation goal in less than, perhaps, six months. The crunch, meantime, would be immediate.
