2A THE EA Station, Texas Saturday, April: 2, 1977 U.S. energy policy urged by oil company executive An oil company executive, speaking to the Bryan Kiwanis club Friday, called for a rational and comprehensive national energy to start ending America's dependence" on foreign oil. Samuel L. Riely, supervisor of Mobil Oil Corporation, outlined four elements that should be included in such an energy policy. He listed: Additional con-servation, as well as increased production of conventional crude oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear; A return to free- market prices for oil and for new supplies of natural gas; Setting specific goals and timetables for development of alternative energy sources; And, moving ahead with security stockpiling of oil, the development of deepwater ports and the development of a competitive U.S.

flag fleet to transport increasing U.S. oil imports. "These are broad brush strokes, I realize, and such a program won't be easy, and it won't be quick. And as I've indicated, it will be expensive," Riely said. Development of energy sources, he said, will come if there is an adequate profit base for the energy industries.

"It would be self-defeating to require the oil industry to keep selling its oil at less than it costs to find and produce new oil" He said the federal government should "stop playing politics with energy" and stop using the "oil industry as a scapegoat." The federal government, Riely said, should avoid "negative legislation" such as the attempts to break up the major oil companies. Such a break up, he said, would lead to less efficient operations and result in higher prices. Later in the day, Riely said taxation as a means of encouraging conservation is the wrong approach. will aid conservation, but will not encourage the oil industry to explore for and develop new supplies," he said. "We feel it would be far better to let the free enterprise system work," Riely said.

Dance theatre founder recounts beginnings Arthur Mitchell, founder of the world-famous Dance Theatre of Harlem, spoke last night at a dinner held in his honor by the Arts Council of Brazos Valley. Like an apostle of discipline, he argued in a light, fast voice how mind and body need to be trained carefully and with love to transform selves, matter and society.

Mitchell grew up in the slums of Harlem, where he said that he lounged on corners and wasted time. He got a break, went to dance school and became the first black ballet star and one of the world's finest dancers. "They told me I had the wrong attitude." he said. "And I did have the wrong body my feet were wrong and I had a curve in my back and my muscles were too "But when they said I would never make it, it turned me around. I started tearing my body apart to make it right.

I said then that it was only matter." Mitchell toured the world with the New York City Ballet and was asked to found a national ballet in Brazil. It was when he was doing this that Dr. Martin Luther King was shot. "It seemed like every time we had a human being pulling things together, they took him away. asked myself "Well, Arthur, what are you going to do, sit there like everyone Mitchell founded the Dance Theatre.

offering dance lessons to Harlem youngsters for 50 cents a week. The program blossomed into a famous school which has produced many dance stars. But the Dance Theatre is far more than a dance school, Mitchell said. "We teach sewing and typing to unwed mothers, as well as youngsters We teach costume design and accounting. Most of all, we give people, no matter how poor, old or anything else, a chance to find themselves in art." "You have to choose what you want to be, whether you're tired or not." In every town the Theatre visits, including Bryan-College Station, where it danced Thursday night, Mitchell offers performance-lectures to local students.
