He hires traffic officers to

wants enforced.
He brags on his sister’svir-
The Biology 103 class drag
ged out of bed before the chick
ens during Earth Week to get to
school by 7 a. m. to watch
the "Today Show.” Why did
we do such a ridiculous thing?
To hear and discuss the opin
ions of ecologists and environ
mentalists who were discussing
the problem of pollution. The
topic of the week was “New
World or No World" and dealt
with the necessity to change
our ways of living or not to
live at all. We heard from
such people as Paul Ehrlich,
the author of "Population
Bomb,” who proposed families
be limited to two children;
Ralph Nader, who stated that
more money was spent by large
industries for advertising than
for pollutant research; and
Charles Luce of Consolidated
Edison power company who
stated they did not spend as
much for advertising as they
did for research and they had
cut advertising in half.
One day was devoted to Lon
don’s pollution problem and how
the government had enforced
laws to prevent air pollution by
home heating systems. They
started their program in 1952
after 4000 people had died as a
result of heavy polluted smog.

He swears all politicians are

On top of all this he believes

he is ill, spends his last dol

for worse, in health and sick
ness? Tiiat's right—you guess
ed it the first time—"Woman.”
smokeless fuel burners with
the government paying 70% the
cost.
Some suggested using taxes
to encourage anti-pollution;
others suggested using the bal
lot to replace non-actors with
those willing to do something
about the environment. It was
brought out that there are laws
regarding pollution but they are
not enforced. There should be
an agency modeled after NASA
to coordinate all anti-pollu
tion legislature and enforce
ment. Water polluters are
being allowed to continue pollu
ting because there is no way
to enforce laws on the high
seas. Charles Luce suggested
working from within a company
to get anti-pollution controls.
He stated that by going to work
for a company one could find
out exactly what was being done
and what more should be done-
To start on the local level by
cleaning up hometown streams,
rivers, land, and air is neces
sary to get something accom
plished nationwide to propose
and not those who just say
something needs to be done. It
was stressed that the end need
not be around the corner but
immediate action is needed to
prevent the farther destroying
of Nature and our Planet.

"New World,
Or No World"
"New world, or no world?
This was the question that was
proposed to those who watch
ed the "Today” program dur
ing the week of April the 20
through the 24. The entire week
of the "Today” program was
devoted to the problem of pollu
tion. Since pollution deals di
rectly with biology and the fact
that the information presented
on the "Today” program would
be the most up-to-date, the
Biology class, 103, decided that
they should watch this series of
programs.
The biology class met in the
electronics room Monday
through Friday at seven in the
morning until nine o’clock. As
a member of the class, I know
that it was often difficult to
get up and be at school on
time at this hour, but the effort
was well worth It. The entire
series was exceptionally good
and I feel that thef entire class
benefited from watching the
programs. The programs
started serious thinking among
us about the problem of pollu
tion.
There were numerous speak
ers and group discussions dur
ing the series. One of the most
important aspects of the pro
grams was the fact that the
problem of pollution was viewed
from many different angles.
We did not receive just one
viewpoint, but the viewpoints
of different people from dif
ferent walks of life, from doc
tors to college students.
Pollution of the oceans, riv
ers, air and land were all dis
cussed during the series- The
fact that plastics are a major
pollution problem was brought
out during the programs- They
will not decompose and If burn
ed, will give off a poisonous
gas. Another fact brought out
during the "Today show” was
that the pollution of our rivers
which empty into the oceans
may in a relatively short per
iod of time, kill our oceans!
Another important aspect is
that pollution cannot be blam
ed on any one part of our so
ciety, such as Industry. Pol
lution Is a problem which con
cerns everyone, and often the
worst polluter is the Individual
person. We must all take the
problem of pollution seriously,
as Indeed It Is. Everyone should
think about pollution and the
ways in which he can help to
solve the problem. "Newworld
or no world?” Think about It!

DR. CHARLES E. POWELL
Dr. E. Charles Powell will
begin his duties as chairman of
the Science Department and
coordinator of Health Occupa
tions at Wayne Community
College on July 1st, 1970. He
succeeds Dr. William Draper
who is accepting a position in
the department of Organic
Chemistry at Syracuse Univer
sity.
Dr. Powell has practiced
medicine in Goldsboro for a
number of years. He served
as Chief of Staff of Wayne
Memorial hospital from 1952-
1954 and as Chief of Obstetrics
from 1955 until last year.
He states that he Is looking
forward to his new position
with a great deal of pleasure.
“There is a great shortage of
technicians in the United States
today and industry and science
are in the peculiar position of
having a much greater need fbr
technicians than for graduate
scientists and engineers.”
Dr. Powell’s wife, Mrs.
Eleanor Powell is chairman of

Sunrise
(JAMES DILLET raEEMAN)
Sunrise is never sudden but
comes slowly.
Out of His heaven-bowl God
pours His holy
Water of clear and crystal light
to run
Through the rose window of His
perfect sun
And fall into our mind. In the
beginning
We sense not light so much
as darkness thinning;
Dawn touches first the tips
and tops of things—
The mind to catch the morning
must have wings.
And when the day is cloudy,
day may start
Not so much in the sky as in
our heart.
Yet after a while, all Imper
ceptibly,
We rise and look around us-
and we see—
The law of retribution press
es upon every man, whether he
thinks of it or not. It pursues
him through all the courses of
life.—Albert Pike.
