Energy Suggestions
Could Ease Crisis
By MICHAEL HIESIGER
Daily Reporter
Recommendations presented to Pres-
ident C. C. Nolen by the NTSU Energy
Committee reflect not only a savings of
over $35,000 but also the concern and
commitment of the university in the
energy crisis.
The NTSU Energy Committee be-
gan in the fall of 1973 and was chaired
by Dr. Lloyd Fitzpatrick of the Insti-
ture for Environmental Studies. In-
cluded on the committee were Dr. Mer-
vyn Stelter, director of housing, and
Delbert Overstreet, director of the Phys-
ical Plant. Of the 18 who sat on the
committee, 12 were students.
“THE MAJOR goal of the committee
was to address energy consumption on
campus to see if energy could be con-
served without affecting the running of
the campus," Dr. Fitzpatrick said.
The committee dealt with short-term
answers to conserving energy, while
keeping in mind "long-range goals to
save energy in the future,” Dr. Fitz-
patrick said.
"In order to actually compare energy
savings from one year to the next, a con-
siderable amount of information must
be at hand,” he said.
The recommendations for energy con-
servation came from suggestions depos-
ited in boxes set up on campus. Ques-
tionnaires sent to building supervisors
and information from other energy com-
mittees at other universities were also a
source of suggestions.
Results of the recommendations were
obtained by the comparison of billing
records for the year October 1972 to
October 1973 with the records for Octo-
ber 1973 to October 1974.
DR. STELTER said the conserva-
tion practices resulted in a savings of
2,135,400 kilowatt hours of electricity
and 112,205 cubic feet of natural gas.
These savings result in a monetary sav-
ings of $11,096 for electricity and $215,
353 for natural gas.
Furthermore, Overstreet noted that
the Physical Plant showed significant
savings from September 1973 to April
1974. The plant used 3,380 gallons of
gasoline during that period, a drop from
3,857 gallons in the nine-month period
of.September 1972 to May 1973.
Overstreet also said further savings
could be achieved by switching some
systems now using gasoline to butane or
propane
“AS I SEE it, energy is going to be at
a premium for years to come." Dr
Fitzpatrick said.
Because of this, the university is in a
planning phase and looking ai energy
conservation in a very real sense, he said
"In order to increase the effeciency ol
campus energy uses over a long term,
there is going to have to be an intensive
study of energy allocation on this cam
pus. This is the phase the university is in
now."
THE ENERGY Committee, created
to study energy use on campus, is no
longer serving in that capacity Dr
Fitzpatrick said. “The university is now
involved in looking at long-range con
servation measures.
“With future planning and the crea-
tion of a specific unit in the university,
the savings and efficiency of energy will
increase," he said.
The concern of the faculty, students
and administration for energy conserva-
tion impressed Dr. Fitzpatrick, he said
“It shows that the university has tal-
ented and dedicated people to effectively
address the contemporary problems
that face our society."

Weakened Nixon
Ends Hospital Stay
Ford Asks Prompt Approval
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) President
Ford exhorted Congress on Thursday
to promptly confirm Nelson A. Rocke-
feller as vice-president, then write dead-
lines into the 25th Amendment to pre-
vent such prolonged nomination hassles
in the future.
“In this dangerous age, we need a
vice-president at all times. And I speak
as one who ought to know," declared
Ford, the first man in history to become
vice-president, then president, under
the constitutional amendment ratified
in 1967.
ADDRESSING \ convention of the
Society of Professional Journalists,
Sigma Delta Chi, in Phoenix, Ford
gave a fresh endorsement to Rockefeller,
who has been recalled before the Seriate
Rules Committee to explain his gifts
and loans to public officials and his role
in publication of book critical of a politi-
cal opponent, Arthur .1 Goldberg.
He said he had received assurances
from House Speaker Carl Albert and
Senate Democratic leader Mansfield
that “they will make every effort to
bring the nomination to a final floor
vole," before Congress adjourns in
December.
REFERRING TO possible changes in
the 25th Amendment, he said one such
change would be to require congressional
action on an alternative nominee if it
failed to confirm an initial selection for
vice-president in some future situation.
But when Ford was asked whether he
would withdraw the Rockefeller nomi-
nation if it has not been approved by
the time the current 93rd Congress ad-
journs, he said no.
Ford also defended, in an opening
statement, his recent vote of amend-
ments to the Freedom of Information
Act, denying it was inconsistent with his
pledge of an open and candid admini-
stration.
ON OTHER questions, Ford:
•Said he had no intention of asking
for the resignation of Gen. George
Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, despite controversy over his state-
ments on Jewish influence in American
government.
• Declared that the economic program
he already has advanced is adequate to
meet the twin problems of inflation
and recession and again rejected any
suggestion of wage and price controls.
• FORECAST that Republicans will
make a comeback in 1976
• Declared that he is not considering
any proposal to increase gasoline taxes,
despite the statement of Secretary of the
Interior Rogers C. B. Morton that it is
a possibility.
•Said he has no intention of limiting
Henry A. Kissinger’s broad authority in
foreign policy.
•REJECTED A suggestion that he
should steer clear of prospective violent
demonstrations in Japan and deter the
trip until Rockefeller is confirmed.
•Asked if, after the elections, he had
wished he had wailed to pardon lormer
President Richard M Nixon replied,
“Not at all. 1 think the timing was right
in both cases.”
•Also said his amnesty program for
Vietnam draft resisters and deserters
had "worked well."
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Chalk-
faced and thin, former President Rich-
ard M. Nixon left the hospital Thursday
and returned to his San Clemente villa,
where he will be examined by three doc-
tors to determine if he can testify at the
Watergate coverup trial
His personal physician said he believes
Nixon's blood pressure would soar from
the stress of the court-ordered examina-
tion and warned it might set off renewed
internal bleeding.
Nixon shook hands weakly with his
doctor, nurses and other personnel who
had attended him for 23 days before
getting into a limousine that took him
and his wife, Pal, to their seaside estate
50 miles south of the hospital.
Wearing light blue pajamas and a
navy blue robe, the former president was
helped into the car by hospital atten-
dants after coming out a rear entrance
in a wheelchair, his phlebitis-stricken
left leg propped up. He had lost 10 to
15 pounds since re-entering the hospital
for a second time Oct. 23 after phle-
bitis flareup. (
A hospital spokesman s tid Nixon was
immediately put in an adjustable hospi-
tal bed after arriving home.
Rest and nonstressful activies are the
key to Nixon's convalescence, said his
doctor, John C. Lungren.
Hospital spokesmen would not re-
lease Nixon’s bill, but it was reliably
reported to total at least $10,000
which Nixon must pay out of his own
already-beleaguered finances because he
does not have insurance. Fifteen doctors
were involved in caring for Nixon during
his hospitalization.
There was no immediate word when
the three doctors, who will make the
court-ordered examination, would ar-
rive. All internationally known cardio-
vascular specialists, were appointed
by U. S. District Judge John .1. Sirica on
Wednesday to determine within 15 days
whether Nixon is well enough to give
testimony in the coverup trial of five of
his former political associates.

the movies. All other dorm associations contributed to the cost of renting
the films.

cartoons will be shown beginning at 9 tonight in the Bruce Hall Cafeteria,
Wichita Falls junior Bare Doyle, IRHC president, said.

Councilman Denies Involvement
In Kibler Furniture Purchase
City Councilman Morris Kibler said
Thursday that furniture sold to the city
through his son's company did not cons-
titute a conflict of interest with his posi-
tion on the council. He also labeled the
incidents that led to implications of his
guilt an "unfortunate mistake.”
The conflict arose when it was dis-
covered the city had purchased $ l,500
worth of office furniture from Kibler
Office Supplies, which is jointly owned
by Kibler and his son, Jim. The furni-
ture, which had been requested by the
Community Developer's Office in Sep-
tember, was not purchased until this
month.
City Purchasing Agent John Marshall
said he delayed ordering the furniture
because he disagreed with the type being
purchased and the price. “In my estima-
tion the cost was twice too high for the
place it was going," he said. Marshall
finally ordered the furniture after City
Manager Jim White questioned him
about the delay.
Kibler blamed the problems caused
by the city’s purchase of the furniture
on the city’s failure to find a dealer who
would sell the furniture desired to any
Denton-based firm. He said he was
well aware that he could not sell equip-
ment to the city and had furnished the
city with names of places where the fur-
niture could be purchased.
Problems evolved when it was found
that distributors of the particular furni-
ture had agreements with Kibler Office
Supply not to sell to other clients in
Denton. Jim Kibler alleviated the prob-
lem by purchasing furniture through
Nooks and Crannies, a furniture store he
owns.
Councilman Kibler denied guilt in the
incident because the furniture had been
purchased through his son's firm and not
his own. The conflict of interest Kibler
has been accused of is based on the City
Charter provision which states, "No of-
ficer or employe of the City of Denton
shall have a financial interest, direct
or indirect in any contract with the
city."

Ten varsity athletes are among 26
students General Telephone Co. would
like to talk to or prosecute.
Detective Jimmy Wallace of the Uni-
versity Police said General Telephone
has asked the Criminal Investigation
Division to make sure that all 26 stu-
dents are notified to meet with a General
Telephone representative Monday at
the University Police Station
“WE HAVE been asked to deliver a
message," Wallace said “When I call
these students. I tell them that Cieneral
Telephone would like to meet with them
to discuss a matter of them accepting
collect phone calls when they had no
authority to do so. Furthermore, that
if they do not show up on Monday,
General Telephone will file charges
against them immediately."
Wallace said the phone calls were
received over a period of almost a year
Also, all 26 persons are either students
or were students at the time they accept-
ed collect calls on their centres phones
No long distance calls are authorized on
the centrex phones in dormitories.
Some of the phone bills that General
Telephone hopes to clear are as high as
$l,500, Wallace said
“OF THOSE that we have contacted,
only one has said, *l don't know what
you're talking about.' " Wallace said.
He said Hayden Fry, athletic direc-
tor, "has given us every assurance that
the four basketball, five football and one
track athletes involved would be here on
Monday"
Earlier in the week. Fry did not try to
stop Denton Police when they arrested a
varsity football star Wallace said,
“W hen the Denton Police issued a traf-
fic arrest warrant for this man we called
him and told him he should take care of
it immediately. He said he would
When he never did show up, the Denton
Police did show up Fry told us, 'If he
lied to you. let him go to jail ' Further-
more. Fry would not let his stall help
get the guy out of tail. His Iriends had
to bail him out."
