Editor's Note - How-do political pressures in the oil rich Middle East affect the prospects of future energy crises in the United States? Associated Press Special Correspondent for the final installment of a four-part series on the energy pinch.
Middle East Politics Energy Crisis Linked
BY WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent
The Arab's struggle with Israel must become a battle of oil and austerity,
The president of Egypt murmurs an amen, then appears to admit resignedly
"It is regrettable," Egypt's President Anwar Sarah said recently, expressing what seemed to be more than a touch of bitterness toward his Arab brethren, "that U.S. interests in certain Arab countries are now more secure than ever before."
There is much to support Sadat's complaint, and even he may be contributing to what he regards as a regrettable state of affairs.
Militant Arabs, longing for any new weapon that might help cast Israel from their territories, have seized upon talk of a growing energy crisis in the United States. Today the Middle East air clamors with oratory demanding that all Arabs—do their duty. They see a chance of using it as aid for producing immenses crises in the West
ACTUALLY USE OF the oil for political gain is demanded by these countries that make large reserves. Large reserves see little practical value in mixing oil with world politics and a clash of alien ideologies. As non-Arabs in the area work to increase their control, keep the desert green with Western money.
Actions and words of the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Persian sheikhdoms make it seem unlikely that they will embrace unity with impoverished Egypt and Syria to the extent of laying their enormous incomes on those involved in process, risking their own political necks.
Sarah Arabia presides over the vast compost heap of the Garden of Eden, the largest proven reserves in the world. This region is the source of the Persian Gulf states, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait combined. The Saudi regime gives an occasional nod in the direction of pan-Arabism for the sake of internal politics, but it does not have a genuine interest in the堤 all business, strictly business.
SHEIK AHMAD Zaki Yamani, Saudi minister of petroleum and mineral resources, is the author of a new "Yumani formula," which brings forcefully to huge international oil companies how they can sell their products from a buyer's 'to a seller' market.
Five oil-producing countries, all Arab, are involved in the formula, which was sponsored by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The formula envisions gradual increase in control of concessions given to a cent to a controlling 51 per cent in 1983.

KU Emergency Tunnels Repaired
Tunnels severed by the construction of Wescoe Hall have now been repaired and are in use, according to Keith R. Lawton, an operations manager for the facilities and operations. The tunnels connect central campus fallout shelters and could be used to distribute food and other necessities from the campus.
According to Lawton, the shelter system was devised at a time when there was considerable anxiety about the threat of a nuclear war. Since that time the "threat of nuclear holocaust on the international scene has greatly decreased as diplomatic
relations between nations possessing nuclear weapons has increased." Lawton
The shelters could also be used as tornado shelters. Lawton said.
Because there has never been any food or water stored in the shelters, the tunnels connecting them would become an imminent route for food and supplies, he said.
The capacity of the shelters, according to Clayton Stone, University modification and improvements analyst, is about 16,000 persons. He said the main source of food for the central campus area in the event of an attack would be the Kansas Union.
Union, the food that is regularly stored in the Union would provide food for 16,000 people at sustenance level for seven days. Burge based this figure on a monthly inventory report. Fresh vegetables and fish were the main day durations, frozen goods three days, and staples and canned goods would be consumed within a week, he said.
According to Frank Burge, director of the

in Arab coffers in the next decade makes some in the West nervous. What might they do with all that money? The Saudi Arabians seem to have some pretty firm plans, even including the idea of investment in the United States.
"Correct application of the principle of participation would allow our national oil companies to invest surplus revenues in marketing our share of the oil, thereby providing for the absorption of the surplus." Yamiant told a fascinated audience of oil men in Washington as the Yamani formula was being perfected last fall.
THIS RAISES the possibility, for example, of the Saudis and perhaps others investing in U.S. refinery operations and aspects of the oil business all the way to the pruning stations. This would make the flow of oil to the Middle East more secure than ever.
The chairman of the Egyptian press syndicate recently suggested in an influential Cairo newspaper, Al Ahram, that U.S. citizens should pressure their government to stop aiding Israel if they want to avoid the terror of an energy crisis.
He said he was keen on Arab oil producers, knowing that America needed the Arabs for the basic element of everyday life.
President Hafaz Assel of Syria did not move his words.
"All Arab power, regardless of his overtly be a player on the scale," he insisted. "It is an imperative task."
But, he added, Arabs "have been disillusioned in the dream of Arab cooperation and of utilization of Arab power on a nationwide basis."
By that he meant an all-Arab basis. Egypt's Satad echoed his sentiments: "We wield assets capable of putting pressure on the whole world."
Students Join Uterine Cancer Task Force
About 46 University of Kansas students have signed up to survey Douglas County women in an effort to combat uterine cancer in the area. Allon Ailor, co-chairman of the Douglas County uterine cancer task force, said Tuesday.
According to Ailor, about 60 local volunteers will visit 800-800 homes in the county. They will question women over 18 years old about their knowledge and use of the Pap test, an early detection test for cervical cancer. Also determine the number of local women also lack financial assistance or access to a clinic to get a Pap test every year.
