OPEC founder says price rise would be 'just and good' for all
By LEW WHEATON
CARACAS—One of the founders of OPEC, the world oil cartel that meets here next week, says oil prices should be substantially higher and President Jimmy Carter is wrong to argue that an increase would hurt developing countries the most.
Juan Pablo Perez Alfonso was Venezuelan oil minister in the late 1950s, when he became a leader of efforts to form an international producers association. These efforts bore fruit in 1860 with the founding of mineralization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
The Associated Press interviewed Perez Alumno, now 74, in the garden of his home in Philadelphia.
He said oil prices should be indexed to world inflation, and that based on International Monetary Fund data, prices were $4.90 per barrel from the current level of $12.70 per barrel.

"IT WOULD BE JUST and good for the world, but it's very difficult." Perez Alfonso
The Shah of Iran announced last month after meetings with Carter that he had shifted from neutrality to active support for the oil price freeze Carter has been lobbying
Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest producer, has been reported as supporting either no increase or a small one when the cartel's oil ministers meet Dec. 20 in Caracas. Venezuela's president, Carlos Andres Mendoza, said a 3 per cent increase would be acceptable.
U. S. experts figure that a 5 per cent increase in crude oil prices would raise American gasoline prices by about half a cent a gallon.

said, because of "pressures such as that of powerful purchasers like the United States pressuring and caloing with the sales of arms to Saudi Arabia and Iran."
In the interview, Perez Alfonso said
"Unfortunately, Carter's stand is a generalized approach and mankind is still not sufficiently visionary to understand the need that must be changed." Perez Alfonso said.
Carter is "completely wrong" when he says higher oil prices would fuel another round of world inflation which would hurt ununderdeveloped nations the most.
"ONE CANNOT maintain indefinitely the injustice of the United States consuming double the energy that France and Geronimo alone on India," the former oil seller said.
He said OPEC's apparent inability to agree on a substantial price increase was one example of the way internal dissent and outside pressures had kept the cartel from fulfilling its responsibilities to its members and the developing nations.

"The international debt of Third World nations is of such a magnitude that it practically cannot be paid," he said. "I said a long time ago that the people who are favored with oil should share their advantage with those who are not so favored.

"It seems that institutions never fail their proper function," Perez Alonso said. "It isn't that OPEC is good or bad, that it isn't the right solution, that it aren't achieving the ends they should."
HE SAID that when OPEC was formed, he envisioned a system controlled by producing nations to promote oil conservation, assure a stable supply and increase at high levels justified by oil's indispensability to industrial civilization.
Thieves strike arts building take paintings
Several watercolor paintings on display in the student lounge of the new visual arts building were stolen last week, Robert Green, professor of art, said yesterday. The paintings were by University of Kansas students.
Green said he thought that paintings would not be displayed in the future unless they were more sustainable.
Green said that possibly eight paintings had been stolen from the walls sometime before.

"I wanted to place the paintings in glass display cases but all of them are faulty," faulty.
A fraternity chapter that folded about five years ago might soon be reestablished at the University of Kansas, Dan Ludwig, one of the reorganization leaders, said last week.
Ludwig, St. Louis sophomore, said that if enough members could be initiated, a chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi could be chartered by February.

The Kappa Upsilon chapter of AEPI, a predominately Jewish fraternity, was established at KU in 1949. Because of a lack of members, the chapter became inactive in 1953 and was renamed Lauvig. During the fraternity folded in 1972 because of problems within the chapter.
Ludwig said that now, after about three years of work, a colony of the fraternity had been formed and had been recognized by the national AEPI organization.
Fraternity might make comeback
MITCH GALE, Overland Park sophomore who helped organize the colony, said the colony now had about five members. He also said that a group indicated that they wanted to join the fraternity.
Thirteen KU students pledged to the national organization of AEPI last year. Gale said only a few of those had returned to KU this year.
George Toll, past president of the national organization, met with about 15 students Wednesday night. Gale said Toll promised that if the colony could pledge between 15 members by February, national AEF will give them a fraternity house for next fall.
In 1960, the chapter acquired its first chapter house, at 1247 Ohio St. When the chapter reopened in 1964, the chapter house was at 1299 Ohio St. a third house, at 2000 Stewart St. was dedicated in October 1988. Stewart built the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house.
BESIDES PROVIDING social functions and stressing academics, Ludwig said, the fraternity would help bring together Jewish students at KU.
"It would give a sense of belonging and
closedness and of Jewish cohesiveness at KU,' he said.

If the group does establish a chapter on campus, it could ask to be recognized by the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the regulatory body of 22 KU fraternities.
Bob Turvey, assistant dean of men and IFC adviser, said yesterday that the council now had no formal recognition policy, but that it would consider factors such as the nature of the college's membership members, stability and scholarship in deciding whether to recognize the chapter.
