A St. Mary’s University student allegedly has been involved in providing arms for the moderately socialist forces that staged a coup in the Caribbean island country of Grenada. \(Not that the establishment at St. Mary’s has any truck with such stuffrecently it sponsored a seminar on free enterprise downtown with four of the five speakers coming from the Nixon and Ford administraNothing has so polarized the community here as the debate over San Antonio’s 28 percent partnership interest in the South Texas Nuclear Project at Bay City. The council, in 1973 when Becker was the mayor and Cockrell was a. councilwoman, committed the city to pay $480 million for this 28 percent The other three partners are Houston LightAntonio’s continuation in the project has been unraveling since last summer. A consulting firm, Touche Ross & Company, said then that the overall cost expected had increased from $780 million to $1.3 billion.

Charles Koumanoff of a respected New York energy firm backed up the professor. While Joe Webb, Ortiz and Eureste had consistently opposed the city’s participation, other councilmen began waffling. The chamber of commerce and Houston Lighting & Power rallied to the cause. Reporters were given tours of the project. Lanny Sinkin, coordinator of Citizens Concerned About Nuclear Power, has been leading the opposition to the project here. In January the fine city magazine SA published his debate with a City Public Service spokesman over nuclear energy. Naturally Sinkin emphasized the unsolved safety problems in nuclear power plants and the unsolved problem of disposing of the deadly wastes, which continue to be dangerous
