mittee chaired by Henry Jack-
son (D-Wash). "Jackson and
(Sen. Abraham) Ribicoff have
been back home over the Christ-
mas recess, and the people are
more concerned about gas than
about anything else. It's just
politics as usual," Adams said.
"A cheap shot" was his descrip-
tion of Sen. Jackson's accusa-
tion that Exxon had commit-
ted "corporate disloyalty" by
cutting its shipments to the
military during last October's
^lert, caused by Saudi Ara-
bian demands. Adams went on,
"I just do not buy the con-
on election regulations, see
next week's Thresher.
Honor Council changes
Members of the Honor Coun-
cil have asked for a change in
their constitution. Whenever a
vacancy occurs on the Honor
Council, the position would be
filled by the person receiving
the next highest number of
votes in the preceding Honor
Council election. A similar ap-
proach was used last fall to
fill a vacancy on the cheerlead-
ing squad. When Hank "Sun-
dance" English could not re-
turn to Rice, his job as cheer-
leader was assumed by John
Lanier, who was fourth in bal-
loting ' last spring for male
cheerleaders.
The proposal will be on the
ballot February 19th in the SA
and Honor Council elections.
spiracy theory. Power is too
diffuse within the oil com-
panies. Too many people would
know too much to keep such a
conspiracy a secret from the
American people."
Adams defended the oil de-
pletion allowance, "It is a sort
of insurance deal to protect the
small independents. The deple-
tion allowance does not make
a lot of difference for the big
companies." On the Alaska pipe-
line, he noted that, "There are
risks involved in the pipeline.
But there are always risks;
you've got to order your prio-
rities. And the risks are mini-
mal here."
