Western Unity Seen as Solution To Oil Monopoly in Middle East
By JEFFREY HILL Kansan Staff Reporter
World oil shortages will abate only when major Western powers unite to insure a steady supply of oil, according to Ned Bayne, American Field University staff member assigned to Italy, Iran and Israel. Bayne, who is visiting KU as part of the International University, spoke yesterday in the conference room of the Geological Survey building.
"There is a certain determination in the United States to solve the energy shortage on American terms," he said. "There has been no attempt to solve the problem of a world shortage, nor has any such attempt been considered.
'Europe has not done any better. There is no common market policy on energy. The
underexposed countries will be the first victims of this lack of coordination. They won't be able to keep up with the rising cost of oil
"Perhaps only in consort with Europe can we solve the problem at all."
Bayne said the Middle East was moving toward an oil monopoly as world powers have pledged to end the conflict.
The Alaskan pipeline and substitute fuels are alternatives to dependence on the Middle Bay, Eastay said, but neither can solve the immediate shortage.
"Even with a pipeline, Alaska won't be worth nearly as many barrels a day as the Middle East. And the possibility of substitute fuels will not be technologically advanced enough to benefit us for a long time," Bayne said.
"We're in an unprecedented situation with the Middle East," he said. "How do we pay for oil? The dollar is no longer the answer, nor is other currency.
Bayne said the problem of maintaining a steady oil supply was one of finance rather than energy.
"The question Arab leaders are asking themselves is where they want to keep their oil reserve—in the bank or in the ground. I think at this point the Arabs want it in the ground."
"WE CAN SUPPLY military equipment to countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in exchange for oil, but the Shah of Iran will get nervous if we arm neighboring countries," he said. "the only one who can be counted on for a steady supply of oil right now," he said.

HOPE Award Nominations Begin Sept.25
A schedule for nominations and voting for this year's HOPE award has been established, Roger Borel, Shawne Mission Chairman, received the HOPE award committee, said recently.
The award was started by the class of 1959, which established a trust fund with the Endowment Association. The interest from that fund and a matching amount donated by the senior class make up each year's award. A plaque also is given with the award.
The HOPE award, sponsored yearly by the senior class, recognizes an outstanding achievement.
The first round of nominations will be Sept. 25 and 26. Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Strong, Summerfield, Murphy and Learned Halls and in the Kansas Union. Any senior can nominate professors.
The top 25 nominees will appear on the first ballot. Voting on the first ballot will be at the senior regalia party Sept. 28. Only those seniors who are class members or who pay a voting privilege fee of 50 cents will participate in the final ballot and on the final ballot, Borel said.
"The privilege fee will help defray the costs of the cash award and the printing of the plaque. These expenses come from class dues," he said.
From this vote, ten semi-finalists will be chosen. The HOPE award committee will then narrow these down to five finalists. The names of the five professors will be announced early in November. They will be honored at a recognition dinner Nov. 4.
The final vote on the HOPE award will be Nov. 6 and 7. The winner will be announced at halftime at the Colorado-KU game on Senior Day, Nov. 10.
Members of the HOPE award committee are: DeBe Bramley, Overland Park; Tim Crane, Omaha, Neb.; Bruce Keplinger, Overland Park; Marilyn Miller, Prairie Village; Dave Murfin, Wichita and Lyn Wallin, Omaha, Neb. All are seniors.
Sheriff May Seek More Food Money For County Jail
Rex Johnson, Douglas County sheriff,
said Tuesday he was considering asking
the Douglas County Commission for more
money to feed prisoners in the county tail.
Johnson currently is allotted $2 a day for each prisoner.
"Two dollars is the same amount that we've been receiving for the last six years," Johnson said. "But that just isn't enough now."
