He said the social and economic progress of the oil-producing nations depended on their profits from oil resources.
--energy sources in the United States would be prevented.
SCHEMES BY some Americans to secure these resources are "imperialist" and "irresponsible" and would constitute "world-scale handie," he said.
Increases from 1973 in the price of oil are justified because, Schermer said, the "history of oil prices clearly demonstrates that 1973 was never priced at its true value."
For every dollar of profit that Mobil makes, it invests $1.75 in finding new oil resources, he said.
According to Schmertz, Mobil has produced a profit increase of 30 percent annually since 1977. However, he said this profit is not a real test of the corporation's profitability.
"OIL CORPORATIONS make large profits, but in terms of capital invested, the return is not that profitable." he said.
The government, he said, should thus deregulate oil prices so it will be economically productive to produce all the oil in the United States.
Another suggestion offered by Schmertz was the creation of a reliable allocation program that would be available should a shortage occur.
But be said that an energy shortage in the upcoming year was doubly as long as this winter was relatively normal.
"One of the big problems has been un certainty. It's a tragedy that we don't have a back-up program of rationing," he said.
has been a controversial issue. Last July the city commission rejected 3-2 the downizing of the entire neighborhood.
"We have tight but sufficient supplies for the winter, Schmertz said.

That action caused members of the Oreo Neighborhood Association to consider building a new police missioners, Don Bimbs, Bob Schumann and Ed Carter, who voted against the downsizing.
The association decided earlier this month to wait on the recall question until after the meeting tonight.
CARTER AND Schumm have said they would consider downzoning the Oread by sections.
The association also considered holding a city-wide referendum on the downzoning issue but decided to wait.
Clark said he thought the events of the last few days called for the downsizing of the Oread section, mostly a single-family dwelling. as soon as possible.
"I will argue strongly for the downzoning. All we need is one more vote." Clark said.
Schumar the area was a "tpe area for downzizing. I will look at it favorably unless someone can convince me otherwise before tomorrow's meeting."
Commissioner Marci Francisco has asked the commissioners to discuss at the meeting
the possibility of establishing a moratorium on issuing building permits between the time the planning commission recommends a permit, or the commission considers the recommendation.
CLARK SAID he questioned the legality of a mortalor because it would deprive property owners of their rights.
In other zoning issues, the commissioners will consider a recommendation from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to rezone the east side of the 800 block of Pennsylvania Street excluding the city's downtown area from general industrial to multiple family.
The rezoning was requested by the property owners because multiple family zoning reflects the current use of the property.
Hayden has not requested the rezoning of his property because he hopes to convert a former tawny marsh into tavern. He has filed suit against the city officials and commissioners, previously rejected his plans.
THE COMMISSIONERS rejected the plan because the building did not meet setback requirements because the building would be the favored would be an intrusion on the neighborhood.
In other business, the commissioners will consider requests for variances from the city's sign ordinance from Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.; Oakland University, 760 W. Main St.; Warehouse Furniture, 1457 E. 23rd St.; Otasie, 1189 Massachusetts St.; University State Bank, 954 Iowa St.; Malls Shopping Center, 711 W. 23rd St.; S.L.C Credit Creo, 460 Betsy Street; Holiday Inn, 2002 Iowa St.; and Bob Hopkins Vowenwagen, 220 Iowa St.
THE COMMISSIONERS also will conduct a public hearing regarding improvements to Second Street from Wisconsin Street west to the Kansas turnpike access road.
This street passes the site of the proposed MCC facility, which is a vertical center-model for which the city commission authorized in late August the issuance of $2 billion in industrial revenue from the MCC.
After the public hearing, the commissioners will consider a resolution to determine the advisability of paving and improving Second Street.
The commission also will consider granting permission to two groups to use a mobile public address system during an anti-racist march to be held Oct. 27.
Computer use increase forecast
Computer usage will continue to increase in the wake of the bookwork, as computer becomes cheaper, officials at the University of Kansas Academic Computer Center, said
"It it's uncommon for a department to increase its computer usage 25 percent from one semester to another." John Seitz, assistant director of production, said. "They will be used more and more because hardware is getting cheaper. The investments are even doubling their computer use from one semester to another."
Hardware is larger in the computer science field for the computer itself and its peripheral electronic equipment.
"The departments are using the computers for instructional and research purposes and the administration is using them more for processing." Seltz said.
THE UNIVERSITY has two main
Magnuson said the University's computers still would be adequate if computerized pre-enrollment were instituted.
"WEWOULD JUST have to add 15 or 20 terminals to the system," he said.
These two computers are scheduled to arry the burden of computer use in the near future.
Magnuson said the increased use of computers would not mean a loss of jobs.
"It may be a matter of redefining responsibilities," Magnus said. "I never looked at a computer as taking jobs. My colleagues are not won't have to lift additional workers."
Man remains in critical condition
A 20-year-old Lawrence man, the victim of a possible hit-and-run accident Friday, remained in critical condition in the interior center of Chicago after a hospital spokesman said.
