Syrnpo BY BILLY COX Of The Gamecock staff The first Virginia and Donald S. Russell International Symposium could be termed a businessman's delight. Held Monday and Tuesday nights in the Belk Auditorium of the B.A. Building, the program featured a discussion of the topic "A Crisis in Capitalism," in terpreted by six panelists of varied backgrounds. The symposium is an extension of the Russell Lecture Series, named for former University president Russell and his wife. Alastair Burnet, editor of Lon don's Daily Express and the British Broadcasting Cor poration's Political Broadcaster of the Year in 1970, opened the session with brief introductions and a broad preview of the topic of the energy crisis. "The post-war decade of rapid growth is over, at least for a while," he said, "and prophecies of eco-doom have been appreciably toned down." Despite his observances, Burnet admitted it is difficult to detect any type of relief regarding the world wide outlook. "I am reminded of the story of King George III," he said, "when he asked one of his cabinet members, 'Are things as bad as they seem?' 'No,' replied the official, 'but I would keep the colonies in your wife's name'." Social chtange lect "Studying Social Change by Pasting Surveys Together" will be the subject of a lecture today by Professor James Davis, of the University of Chicago.

Collado, executive vice-president of the Exxon Cor poration, spoke first and declared "the days of wine and roses are Dver--that is, low-cost and seemingly endless supply of reserves." Collado maintained U.S. dependence on Venezuelan and Arabian oil has resulted in a particularly vulnerable position, as the quadrupling of prices since 1973 proves. Collado contended at present rates, the oil-producing countries will have absorbed more than a trillion dollars by 1985. Collado added he believed fears the oil producers will syphon away all income from international ex change markets are basically unfounded. "They have no choice but to re-channel money back into the developed countries," he said, citing their lack of resources to develop and exploit. Collado noted reduced oil consumption and a 70 per cent increase in Arab imports as being deterrents to a money monopoly. Collado said he expects to see a trend of increased recycling of money throughout the in ternational framework, but believes hopes of a complete return to normalcy are unlikely. "It would be premature to suggest that we will be able to ride smoothly through the next 10 years," he concluded, "but I think we have the confidence to adapt." ure tonight p.m. in Room 15 of Callcott Social Sciences Center.

Collado said America is operating with a finite number of reserves which cannot meet consumption demands. He added the Alaskan pipeline wouldn't help the problem as much as previously hoped, and the real sources lay offshore New Jersey, Long Island, Santa Barbara and the Bering Sea. "There's a great deal of luck involved in discovering oil," Collado explained.

Bailey indicated the U.S. has perhaps 25 years left in its domestic oil supply if current demand continues. "Oil should never have been allowed to go for such low prices," he said. ''There are a number of economic equations to be worked out to enter a viable new direc tion," Bailey said. Among them is the harnessing and utilization of solar energy. The U.S. will be forced to seek alternative devices, he explained, because developing nations are beginning to recover their own national resources to help themselves first. No one on the panel could dispute Bailey's presertation. Callado f said, "Mr. Baley'3 speech is so comprehensive I find very little to argue with." As the Monday night session was t preparing to adjourn, one man stood up and said, "Well, I can remember back in 1920 when e everybody was saying 'the sky is ' falling', that we'd be outta oil in 15 , years."
