(CPS) - Near ly a year after it began its efforts to identify and deport Iranian students who are here illegally, the U.S. Im migration tc Naturaliration Service (INS) announced recently it is prepared to start deportation pro ceedings against nearly UtMO Iranians. '^’'S6”fayV'6My «&'lramail3’lia^e'been escorted out of the country. INS spokesman Ver Jarvis says it is uncer tain when proceedings against the bulk of the allegedly "out-of-status” Ira nians will begin. Jervis noted ttiat 20 temporary im migration judges are being deputized, but that their priority will be par ticipating in expulsion hearings against some 1700 Cubans. The round-up of Iranian students was begun by President Carter shortly after the November 4 seizure of the American embassy in Teheran. Since then, around 59,000 Iranians have voluntarily reported to immigra tion officiials. INS agents flushed out 2443 more students, and now estimate that 8000-10,000 others remain unregistered. Of that “out-of-status” pool, the INS has charged that 2195 had violated various civil and immigration laws, and ordered them deported. The most ccunmon infraction, Jervis says, is overstaying the term Rotated in the visas. Others have been charged with attending school part-time, despite visa regulations that they be full-Ume students, and with failing to get the re quired special work permits. But nearly half as many (2386) have applied for political asylum. None of t^ applications have been approved so far. The State Department, which holds the applications, refuses all comment about the requests for asylum.

Blood Goal Achieved Once More By SHARON ALEXANDER The Red Cross Bloodmobile visit to Chowan College on September 29 was considered a “success” by Linda Owens, director of Student Activities. Chowan surpassed its 200-pint goal by 35 pints of blood. This was termed a tremendous show of community spirit and caring on the part of this communi ty by Miss Owens. Circle K, Womens Club of Mur freesboro and student volunteers helped in making the program a suc cess. This was one of the largest single collections of blood in Hertford County in the last five years, missing last years total of 285 pints by 50 pints. Miss Owens praised the student body for its efforts in the Bloodmobile “I am proud of the fact that the Chowan students cared for a project and not for the assembly and class cut credits which they received.” Smoke Signals, Wednesday, October 15, 1980 — Page3 Mary Beth Crocco takes it easy as Becky Brasie prepares her for a gift of blood. (Photo by Karen Nelson) WHAT COULD HE ARMY Drop your guard for a minute. Even though you’re a two-year cdUfefee right now, there are many aspects of the Army you might find very attractive. Maybe even irresistible. See for yourself. ROTCSCHOLARSMPS If you’re thinking of eventually going to a four-year college, it’s not too early to start thinking about an ROTC scholarship. There are 2-year and even 1-year ROTC scholarships available. They cover tuition, books, and lab fees. Plus $100 a month living allowance. Naturally, they’re very competitive. Because besides helping you towards your bachelor’s degree, an ROTC scholarship helps you towards the gold bars of an Army Officer. It’s worth looking into. WMGSaACHOPPa With two years of college under your belt, you can get preferential consideration for Warrant Officer Flight Training. If you pass all the tests and qualify, you’ll go through 40 weeks of rigorous and valuable training. You’ll earn the distinctive bars of a warrant officer and the silver wings of an Army aviator. You’ll have at least 175 hours of flight instruction, 40 hours with a flight simulator, 4 weeks night qualification, and enough classroom work in aerody namics, meteorology and aerial navigation to last a lifetime. The result is a rewarding, responsible and prestigious position as an Army helicopter pilot. SnOPGSmOMTHE START What you’ve learned in college has already earned you a promotion in the Army. UKEYOU? It’s true. If you join the Army with two years of college, you can start two pay grades higher. Instead of being an E-1 with an empty sleeve, you can come in as E-3 with stripes. It means about $60 more a month in your paycheck. And a lot more op portunity in the long run. Since you’ll be literally wearing your education on your sleeve, your talents won’t go unnoticed by your superiors. And starting out right can really help you make the most of the Army. ABONUS mRART-TMEWORK You can get a $1,500 bonus just for enlisting in some Army Reserve units. Or up to $2,000 in educational benefits. You also get paid for your Reserve duty. It comes out to about $1,000 a year for 16 hours a month and two weeks annual training. And there’s a special program that lets you fit your Army Reserve active duty around your school schedule. It’s something to con sider. Because even if you went to a two-year college because it was less expen sive than a four-year col lege, you know by now that it still isn’t cheap. A few years in the Army can help you get not only the money for tuition, but also the maturity to use it wisely. The Army has a program in which money you save for college is matched two-for-one by the govemment. Then, if you qualify, generous bonuses are added to that. So 2 years of service can get you up to $7,400 for college, 3 years up to $12,100, and 4 years up to $14,100. In addition, bonuses up to $3,000 are available for certain 4- year enlistments in selected skills. Add in all the experience and maturity you can get, and you can see how the Army can send you back to college a richer person in more ways than one. We hope these Army oppor tunities have intrigued you as well as surprised you. Because there is indeed a lot the Army can offer a bright person like you. For more information, send the coupon below.
