(AP) - A steam tube ruptured at the Prairie Island nuclear generating plant today, allowing radioactive steam to escape into the atmosphere for up to 27 minutes, but there was no immediate danger, an aide to Minnesota Gov. Al Quie said. Quie aide Bob Anderson said in St. Paul that Northern States Power Co. engineers at the plant near Red Wing first detected the leak at 2:14 p.m. in one of two 52-megawatt nuclear generators at Prairie Island. Anderson said the generator was shut down at 2:24 p.m. A general emergency was declared at the plant at 2:30 p.m. and plant .personnel were evacuated, Anderson said. THE PROBLEM was isolated at 2:41 p.m. and the release of radioactivity was stopped at that time, Anderson said. Anderson said the State Emergency Services Division and the governor were informed of the accident at 2:32 p.m. "It's not dangerous from all that we can determine from monitoring," said Quie. "We find no detectable radiation in the air outside the plant." TWO TEAMS of state health depar- tment inspectors were immediately dispatched to the scene to begin measuring radioactivity in the air, said Anderson. A five-member Nuclear Regulatory Commission team also was dispatched to the scene by chartered airplane from Chicago, said an NRC spokesman. Anderson said monitoring teams were measuring radioactivity in the air at two- and three-mile intervals -rom the plant site, which is about six miles northwest of the Red Wing business district and 28 miles southeast of Min- neapolis-St. Paul. First reports from one test taken two to three miles south-southwest of the plant indicated no radiation, said An- derson. "All readings were non- detectable," he said, "the same as on a normal day." R. S. LEDDICK, nuclear projects manager for NSP, which operates the Prairie Island plant, said, "It's not a dangerous situation." Leddick said a steam tube, one of hundreds in the steam generator, rup- tured in Unit One. The rupture allowed primary radioactive water to pass into a non-radioactive secondary system, said Leddick. From the secondary system, he added, radioactive water was emitted into the atmosphereas steam. Ed Watzl, superintendent of engineering and radiation protection at the Prairie Island plant, said the break was a small one. Watzl told Associated Press editors last month at their fall meeting -in Red Wing that recent procedural changes at the Prairie Island plant had reduced what he called the ".already remote likelihood" of -a nuclear accident at the plant. "YOU CAN'T be sure an accident will never happen," said Watzl. But he said that because of differences in plant operation and equipment, it was very unlikely that a nuclear accident such as that at Three Mile Island in Pens nsylvania earlier this year would occur at Prairie Island.

The American University separate prbgrams in CRIMINAL JUSTICE " URBAN AFFAIRS NATIONAL GOVERNMENT " FOREIGN POLICY ECONQMIC POLICY 9 AMERICAN STUDIES tsy anA AizAu Many University administrators say they have reservations about the newly- created Department of Education and fear the agency may lead to more cen- tralized federal control of education. The bill, approved by the U.S. House of Representatives last Thursday,, places most federal education programs under a single department. Proponents of the measure say the new agency will give education a higher priority in the federal government. THE UNIVERSITY and many other colleges, however, have traditionally been against a separate department of education, citing fears of more federal control, more bureaucracy, and less community input into education. University Interim President Alan Smith said he had written several letters to Washington against the proposed department. "I don't think support (for the University) will be enhanced by the new Department of Education," he said. Smith added that he is concerned federal control may extend into elementary and secondary schools un- der the new agency. Wilbur Cohen, University Education professor and former secretary of the Department of Health, Eduction and Welfare (HEW) said he hopes the new department won't have an adverse ef- fect on higher education. He said he is worried that elementary and secondary education concerns will dominate the new department, and hopes higher- education will be given a "fair break." WITH EDUCATION removed from HEW, Cohen said he is concerned the new department will be dominated by educators and will lack input from other areas. According to University officials, the person chosen to head the new depar- tment will be crucial to its success. Cohen cited the leadership problems of the Department of Energy-another department created during President Carter's term. If the person selected to head the agency is "strongly for education," the department could be advantageous to higher education, said School of Education Dean JoansStark. She said she was in Washington last week when the House approved the bill and the mood was "enthusiastic." BOTH THOSE for and against the department decided to "work togetfier and make it work," she said. But Stark added that, "Federal control. of education is so great now, that it (the department) is not going to make much difference." U.S. Representative Carl Pursell (R- Plymouth) voted in favor of the depar- tment. He said he is "satisfied there is strong language in the bill to include local control,"and said he hopes a separate department will provide bet- ter visability for scholarship and grAnt proposals. programs include: " SEMINARS WITH DECISION MAKERS' " INTERNSHIPS ON CAPITAL HILL, IN GOVERNMENT-AGENCIES, WITH PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS for further information write: Washington Semester Programs Ward Circle Bldg. 216 Washington.,D.C. 20016 -WCCAA, (Continued from Page 1) mation cited was not included i court record and consequently4 not be used in the appeal.

Approval was. granted to four programming-language courses in Computer and Communication Scien- ces; four Hebrew courses; Eand Linguistics 301 (Elementary Thai) and 303 (Elementary Indonesian). In addition, English 325 (Inter- mediate Exposition) was approved, with the stipulations that suggestions would be made to the department that TAs receive stronger faculty super- vision, and that the committee be kept informed on the course'sprogress.' The exemptions were allowed because they are introductory courses, with upper-level numbers, according to committee members. Last February, the LSA Executive Committee approved a policy prohibiting TA-taught courses at the 300-level or above. The policy met with strong opposition from various groups, including the Graduate Employees Organization, which claimed the policy would interfere with a lawsuit the group The University's 'radio station (WUOM) has the most powerful signal (230,000 watts) of any public- educational FM station in the nation, and third most powerful signal of any FM station. filed against the University concerning the employement status of TAs. Also, many department chairpersons said they feared they would have to cut some of their upper-level courses'to comply with the policy. Other courses will be considered for the exemption next week by the Curriculum Committee.
