Ilowe think its absolutely essential that Congress draw up a I master plan to make America and thats energy a bill that why Im would create a joint select committee on energy which would have the task of drafting a bill that would make the United with reStates spect to the development, use and control of all forms of energy within 20 years, Congressman Allan T. Howe said today. The energy shortage problem is one of the most serious this country has ever faced, Rep. and its a Howe continued, problem that Congress must deal with quickly, efficiently and on a long term basis. Unfortunately, the jurisdiction over the various types of legislation related to energy is scattered through numerous standing committees and subcommittees of the House and Senate, and this situation makes it difficult for Congress to take a comprehen-- 1 sive, cordinated lok at energy legislation. This Rep. Howe explained, bill would provide a way to coordinate the energy legislation considered by Congress by creating a joint select committee that would review any bill related to the development, use or control of any form of energy, and would, within its 18 months of existance, draft legislation designed to make America energy The joint select committee on energy Rep. Howe said, will draw its 34 members from the House committees on Interior and Insular Affairs, Interstate and Foreign Commerce, the Judiciary, Public Works and Transportation, Science and Technology and Ways and Means; from the Sente committees on Aeronautical and Space Sciences, Commerce, Finance, Interior and Insular Affaris the Judiciary and Public Works; from the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy; and at large from the House and Senate. There would be two members from each of the House and Senate committees, four members from the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, and thre at large members each from the House and Senate. I think the broadly based, long term solution for the energy problem that this select joint committee would devise is self-sufficie- nt, self-sufficie- nt self-sufficie- nt. the House removing provisions of the Ways and Means committee bill that would have imposed an immediate three cent tax on gasoline and could have imposed a gasoline tax as high as 23 cents. Frankly, Rep. Howe continued, I have never felt that the best way to conserve gasoline is to increase its price through taxes to the point of making it almost out of the reach of the average American people. I think there are other ways to conserve, and I think we can crank them into the legislation we are considering now andl egislation well consider in the future. I do Rep. Howe added, strongly support the dea of having funds available to research alternate forms of energy, and I support concept of the energy research trust fund that this tax money was to go into, but I fell we should take money for the trust fund from the general treasury funds and not from gas tax increases. nt Co., Professor Owen Olpin, a critic of the project, and Dudley E.

Engineering majors have the most favorable job prospects, and finance and economic majors will have the most difficulty finding employment. The information comes from a cap and gown survey conducted this month by the placement and Career Information Center on campus. Nearly 1,000 U students were surveyed as they picked up their caps and gowns to participate in Commencement exercises. The results were checked against information gathered from students participating in activities sponsored by the University Placement Center. Beth Summerhays, Placement Center director, says the survey indicates that almost all of the engineers who are actively seeking employment can find a job. Mining engineers, though few in numbers, will have 100 per-- ; cent employment. Ninety per-- j cent of the mechanical, civil and chemical engineering majors surveyed reported employment. At least 75 percent of the electrical and industrial engineers and computer science graduates have jobs, and 75 percent of the graduates reporting from geology, fuels, meteorology and metallurgical engineering indi-- 1 cate plans for employment or graduate school. Ms. Summerhays said the Placement Center is having difficulty finding engineering graduates to fill late spring interviewing schedules with job recruiters. This is in contrast tc the national market where job openings for engineers are down 20 percent from last year. The reports of business graduates are somewhat more favorable than expected, with 66 percent reporting employment. By 85 percomparison, in 1973-7cent of the busines majors had ng 4, Moss Introduces Bill Wildlife Conservation Senator Frank E. (Ted) Moss, introduced legislation designed to improve Federal efforts in the protection of fish and wildlife resources in planning for Federal water resource developments. The bill, entitled the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Amendments of 1975, requires that the Federal agencies having jurisdiction over fish and wildlife resources be consulted and participate in the planning of such projects. The proposed is in the form of amendments to the original Act passed (D-Uta- h) leg-isalti- in on 1958. Americans have concluded that current planning for any or all purposes must give adequate to attention environmental values as well as to the need for economic development. "This balance can best be accomplished in the context of y planning and multi disciplinary planning, the Senator told his colleagues in his introduction of the bill. Sound water resources development is essential if we are to meet the total needs of the Nation while making fish and wildlife agencies a more active partner in the planning process. Senator Moss said. multi-agenc- jobs and 93 percent of the MBAs were placed. Only 68 percent of this springs MBAs report employment. Half of the graduates in the sciences reported having found obs and the other half plan to attend graduate school. Of the nursing students surveyed, 76 percent had jobs, and with the current demand Ms. Summer-hay- s says the remainder should have no difficulty being placed. Of the pharmacy graduates, 11 percent are continuing in graduate school, 53 percent have found jobs at excellent salaries and 36 percent are still searching for positions. In law, 70 percent reported employment compared to 80 percent in 1973-7In social and behavioral sciences, graduates reported 18 percent continuing in graduate school, 21 percent having jobs and 59 percent still looking. Forty percent of the social work majors reported emhavployment, with in found Utah. ing jobs Ms. Summerhays says less than 30 percent of the graduates in fine arts and humanities arc employed, but many in these fields were not actively seeking employment. In education, only 37 percent of the elementary teachers have reported finding positions, but this is net an accurate picture of the job market since many school districts wait until late summer to hire for the fall term. 4. two-thir- ds Motorists Urged To Avoid Bridge Deck Project 1-- 15 Motorists traveling to work daily cn Interstate 15 from 33rd South to 7200 South would be well advised to shop for alternate routes or prepare to leave for work much earlier than usual. Beginning at 5:30 in the morning on June 23rd, workers from the Peter Kiewit Sons Construction Company began a massive improvement project to surface the 21 overpasses between 33 rd South and 7200 South with a special waterproof concrete. The project is expected to take four months, and during the construction traffic period, the zone construction through will be restricted from three lanes to two lanes. Project Engineer Joseph Burton urged motorists to use 7th East, State Street, Redwood Road, and other alternates as detour routes. He also urged them to leave for work a half hour early to allow for increased trafic congestion. The work is principally preventive maintenance to protect the overpass decks from the ravor surface ages of spalling breakup. The problem occurs when water and salt seep down through the deck surface, causing the steel reinforcing bars to accumulate rust and break up the concrete above them. Basically, the work will consist of scarifying or grinding -- inch a minimum of off the existing concrete surfacing, and then laying down a new surface of laytex modified concrete which is impervious to water. The work will be accomplished in stages, with operations extending over many overpasses at the same time. According to the contractor, it will be a trainlike operation with the scarifying machines leading the way and the paving machines following behind. |
