-The Weekly Collegian Wednesday, Nov. 7,1979 ■News briefs — Oil price violations announced WASHINGTON (UPI) - Nine of the nation’s IS largest oil refiners have been cited for nearly $1.2 billion in alleged pricing violations between August 1973 and December 1976, the Energy Department announced yesterday. This raised to $6.4 billion the amount involved in citations against the 35 largest oil firms in the agency’s continuing audit. Mobil, accused of $274.6 million in pricing violations, led the new list, followed by Shell with $211.6 million, Braniff Airlines fined by FAA FORT WORTH, Texas (UPI) The Federal Aviation Administration yesterday announced it had found a series of safety violations in a review of Braniff Airline’s aircraft main tenance and had recommended fines of $1.5 million. C.R. Melugin Jr., FAA southwest regional director, said the alleged violations involved flights of a Boeing 747 and 727 and a Douglas DC-8. The complaints alleged the planes were not airworthy according to its regulations and that Braniff did not take the aircraft out of service. The company denied the allegations and indictated it would examine the FAA complaints before deciding what action to take.

The society predicted that next year 26,500 women will die from lung cancer and 32,000 will be diagnosed. The female age-adjusted lung cancer death rate moved ahead of that for colorectal cancer in the number two position for years, the society said in its annual publication, “Cancer Facts and Figures,” Increased lung cancer among women is linked to the fact that more Oil company taxation proposed Alfred Kahn Shah's health continues to fail NEW YORK (UPI) Physicians will wait at least a month before deciding whether to operate again on the deposed shah of Iran for a new gallstone, a spokeswoman for the shah said yesterday. Doctors reported Monday they had found another gallstone in the shah’s bile duct and said the problem would delay his chemotherapy treatment for cancer for another four or five weeks. The doctors also said the tumor in the shah’s neck was “enlarging” and radiation treatment to halt its growth would begin this week. The doctors said they would try to Boy raised with KKK beliefs GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Sixteen-year-old Claude Mcßride often tagged along with his parents at Ku Klux Klan rallies. Sometimes he wore a Nazi wrist band to school. “I believe the way the Klan believes, and I’ve raised my kids to believe the same not to mix the races,” said Mcßride’s mother, Gail Caudle. Mcßride and his stepfather, Rayford Caudle, are among 14 whites, most linked with the Klan or Nazi groups, held on charges Navelless woman unbuttons lip JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI) Sharon Shinall is suing Dr. Loren Z. Clayman because she says the plastic surgeon removed her navel without her permission. Shinall’s suit, filed in Jacksonville circuit court Monday, charges Clayman with medical malpractice. No specific amount of damages were claimed. The suit says Clayman performed non-cosmetic abdominal surgery on Shinall Aug. 16, 1978 “to alleviate chronic back pain”. During the operation, the defendant removed the Sohio with $179 million and Sun with $129.7 million. Chevron was cited for $ll7 million, Gulf $BO million, Amerada Hess $BB million, Conoco $46 million and Arco : $5B million. Paul Bloom, Energy Department special counsel, said the citations represented “potential over charges,” since they involved ac counting discrepancies in refinery operating costs the companies can pass to customers for such things as overhead, labor, taxes, interest, maintenance and depreciation. . said the violations occurred between August 1978 and October 1979. None of the alleged deficiencies resulted in deaths or injuries to passengers or crewmembers. “Numerous flights were performed by, aircraft not repaired or inadequately repaired after they sustained such damage as blown tires and taxiing into a fuel truck,” the FAA said in a statement. “When this condition became known the aircraft was ordered (by the FAA) grounded until it was determined to be in an airworthy condition. The FAA said the violations reflected ' “a basic pattern of disregard” of FAA regulations on the part of Braniff management.- women cigarette smokers now are reaching the age at which cancer strikes, said Lawrence Garfinkel, ACS vice president for epidemiology and statistics.

The president asked him to stay as his chief inflation adviser, Kahn told the National Press Club. Kahn said he is beginning to favor complete deregulation of oil prices, . along with a windfall profits tax which would “tax the hell out of the companies.” Instead of using most of this money to develop new energy production, as the administration has proposed, Kahn suggested using much of it to reduce Social Security taxes. remove the gallstone without surgery, but if they were not suc cessful, another operation might be needed. Spokeswoman Chris Godek said that decision would not be made for at least four weeks. . On Oct. 24, the exiled monarch underwent an operation at the hospital' to remove several small gallstones that blocked his bile duct, causing jaundice. The duct carries the digestive fluid, bile, from the liver to the intestines. The shah’s gall bladder also was removed because it too contained gallstones. stemming from the slayings of five persons at an anti-Klan rally in Greensboro on Saturday. “I don’t teach them to hate blacks. Give ’em the same respect you would anybody else, but as far as mixing the races or dating ’em, I just don’t believe in that,” Mrs. Caudle said. Mrs. Caudle, interviewed at the family’s small, one-story white frame house in northeast Winston-Salem, said Mcßride dropped out of school in the ninth grade this year “because he got messed up on what bus to take.” claimant’s umbilicus (navel), which was not necessary for the operation, Shinall alleges. Further, she said, the operation did not relieve the back pain. Shinall said, she has “suffered disfigurement to her body” and suffered “physical and mental pain and suffering as well as em barrassment and humiliation as result of said removal of the um bilicus.” The doctor, Shinall and the at torney all refused to discuss the case with a reporter. - :: SKI VERMONT ft Feb. 24 - 29 $ ; Deposits now being * accepted 3 For details, attend j; PSOC-Ski Division ]’ ! , MEETING . - THURSDAY, NOV. 8,7:30 2, 1 'll # i) iSSSSSSWI ’ll' i|» l i|i j ’ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★* ■k To Pearl-Bob a.k.a.

Such is his conception of time. Vonnegut’s preoccupation with time permeates his latest effort, “Jailbird,” like so much maple syrup. From his jailed protagonist’s own reflections to the science fiction stories produced by a prisonmate (written under Vonnegut’s ever Recurring science fiction pseudonym, Kilgore Trout) time and its quirks become the essential element. Time serves as the-magical binding agent tjo the noticeble diversions in Vonnegtit’s world. Everything, every object [and, every transient act, to Vonnegut, is linked, cause and effect, to some grand Divine Comedy .realized only through the aging eyes of his cen tral characters, whether it be Billy Pilgrim, or “Jailbird’s” reluctant hero, Walter F.Starbuck.

And be sure service new next term, j You’ve seen;: il Francisco and Los Angeies, conning to State College GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHIC and watch for a brand to students beginning —ONLY AT 325 EAST BEAVER AVENUE Starbuck is a Harvard man, but more important, he is an ineffectual public servant who somehow manages to stumble through World War 11, the McCarthy pogroms and the Nixon Ad ministration, taking up little space and making little noise, until he is finally jailed (due to a misunderstanding of sorts) as a result of the Watergate in vestigations. The story begins as a reminiscence of events so far tran spired, as well as tantalizing hints ,of what will happen, starting from Star buck’s final day in jail. His story proceeds on. through Starbuck’s trip back to New York, the discovery of old friends and enemies from his past on through to his eventual association and disassociation with the enigmatic RAMJAC conglomerate. Over the years, Vonnegut has gradually stripped away his association with the by-laws of standard story telling, evolving instead into a freer style of narrative. His new style works, drawing the reader on page after page, but not without cost. The free-form mode gives Vonnegut the maximum use of an adroit and in sightful wit, but it is a wit that numbs. Like the feeling one gets from reading a Woody Allen book cover-to-cover, the saturation attack of Vonnegut’s humor now in Sari has to be taken in short doses to be fully realized. Otherwise, the jokes, the unlikely situations, the blunders follow too closely on one another. A polite pause to allow the reader time to laugh is never afforded. Humor, however, is something Von negut cannot afford to waste. Without it, he has precious little to write about. His entire conception of time can be sum med in the cliche, “It’s a small world,” and Walt Disney can handle that concept better than a wit-stripped Vonnegut. Vonnegut’s writing in “Jailbird,” however, shows definite trends of recuperation from the tailspin that began in “Breakfast of Champions” and bottomed out in “Slapstick.” No more is his copy heavily salt-and-peppered with a plethora of ho-hum “hi ho’s.” The prose still rambles and the theme still stays fuzzy for the duration of the book, but, unlike “Slapstick,” the reader is left with some feeling of resolution and direction. This book is not a masterpiece and will probably not endure the rigors of time. It is, however, the latest Vonnegut, and so rates importance with some people in the same way that the latest issue of “Superman” comics rates with others. Wait for the paperback.
