Governor delaying dam decision too long

A two-month delay of the General
Accounting Office (GAO) report on
the Red River Dam project will
unfortunately give Gov. Julian (‘ar-
roll another excuse for not taking a
position on the project before the May
27 primary.

Carroll has continuously delayed
taking a stand on the issue and has
said the GAO report would be a key
factor in determining whether he is
for or against the construction of the
dam. It was hoped by many
opponents of the project that the
report would be completed and Car-
roll would be forced to make his
opinion known before the Democratic

primary.
The GAO‘s preliminary findings
raised “serious questions" about

some of the figures used by the Army
Corps of Engineers to justify the

project. according to Rep. Willis 1).
Gradison Jr., tR-Ohiot. It is hoped
that the GAO report will find there is
not sufficient reason to construct the
dam and encourage Congress to
discontinue funding.

The GAO report was expected to be
completed before the public-works
subcommittee of the House Appro—
priations Committee hears testimony
on the project. The subcommittee
meeting is tentatively scheduled for
May 1 and the report will not be ready
until the end of May.

Hopefully. the subcommittee hear
ing will also be delayed until after the
GAO report is completed. If not. it is
conceivable that the House of Repre-
sentatives could go ahead and act on
the $1.52 million President Ford has
requested for the project this year.

WASHINGTON -- A letter tc es.

Lamb

Former Sen. Marlow Cook asked
the GAO, the investigative arm of
Congress. to study the corps‘ cost
benefit figures on the dam in July
1974. The GAO report was delayed
because the corps filed new docu—
ments on the project last December
and the GAO has not completed study
of the two-volume response

Even before the delay of the GAO
report, Carroll found other reasons to
postpone taking a stand on the
project. He has said the corps has
told him that his position on the dam
may not make any difference because
the project is too far along already.
Actually. it doesn't seem possible that
if Carroll were to oppose the dam now
that it would have no effect.

Another stalling tactic (‘arroll has
used is the excuse that his staff is also
studying the merits of the project and

have not completed a report. He says
it may take him tip to 18 months to
make tip his mind on whether to
support the project

If Carroll waits 18 months the
money could be appropriated and
dam construction started before he
decides to express his opinions on the
project. With all the studies that have

already been conducted (‘arroll
should have a good idea about
whether or not he supports the

project It (‘arroll continues to make
excuses it may soon be too late for
him to affect the outcome of the
project. as the corps has recently
hinted

It‘s beginning to look like (‘arroll

The false fire alarm incident

It is now two am, I have just
returned to my dormitory room
from an incident which has taken
place for the past two nights: a
false fire alarm This letter is
not. however. concerned with
false fire alarms. It is concerned
with an incident which occurred
as the residents of Haggin Hall
were moving back to their rooms
from the false alarm

As the fire alarm ended the
residents proceeded to move
back to their rooms after impati
ently waiting for 30 minutes for
the alarm to end twhy it takes so
minutes tocheck for a fire. l don't

advisiors standing in front of the
crowd held Up their hands. gt \

brought loud protests from the
students. To these protests. Bob
Clay. the head resident of Haggin
Hall. responded: "As soon as
you shut up. you can go back
inside!" The crowd quieted and
moved back into the dorm.
