Pi • ••. Thursday , April 15. 1982 Carolina Review: Anything Can Happen At Any Time JDON’T KNOW??..Of course, anything can happen at any time, and sometimes does. But unless the U.S. JUstice Department has acted highly out of character since this report warn written, then you don’t really know how your state House and Senate voting districts are going to look after reapportionment. Nor do you know all of who will be running for those district seats since the filing dates haven’t been fixed either. Further, you don’t even know when you will get to vote for those candidates-if you knew who they were because there isn’t a primary date. ?jfou don’t really know a wjjiole lot, do you? About the upcoming (which should haye already arrived) pnunary season, that is. Jiopefully, you aren’t part of the 30 or 40 per cent of the a.

And bless the poor “possible” candidate who is waiting, by now im patiently, for word from Washington about his “possible” career. Now those are the ones who are in a sad fix. What about their ! vacation? In other words, the N.C. General Assembly may well have flubbed its effort to draw new district lines attuned to the 1980 census. | Currently, the Justice Department in Washington is serenely studying the latest effort. In all fairness to the Carolina legislators, it could be that absolutely nothing will satisfy the unelected officials busy keeping you in the dark about your most important governmental right. Nothing save drawing the district lines on their own. Well, anyway, it’s been a month now since the Congressional district {dan was unofficially okayed and it appears that will be contested in court. Still, a lot of people saw that as a good omen for the two (dans. Not anymore. The Justice Dept, may well have been cleaning house in preparation for battle over the House and Senate plans most likely the Senate. You should know something this week. Os course, you should have known something last month, or the month before. Last Friday, senators Craig La wing, Ken Royal and Harold Hardison went up to see the man in Washington in charge of your destiny. No, not the president-a bureaucrat you’ve never seen, and they may know something by now. In case they didn’t find anything out on their trip, rest easy because there is a contingency plan for everything.

Board of Elections, it reads: If all three redistrictiong plans receive federal clearance by April 20th (only one so far has cleared), then the candidate filing date will be from April 20 to April 26, and the first primary will be June 1. A runoff, if necessary, would take place on June 29. If the clearance comes by May Ist, the filing dates will be from May 4 through 10. The primary would be on June 29 with the runoff scheduled for July 27. Clearance on May Bth, would mean filing from May 11 to 17, and the primaries B 2 Special Olympics N.C. Special Olympics (NCSO) is gearing up for the 1982 season with nearly 100 local Olympic events in progress this month, all culminating in the Spring State Special Olympic Games to be held in Charlotte on May 28 - 30. And according to the NCSO office, “help is needed.” NCSO is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for mentally handicapped adults and children. The program, created in 1968 by would be scheduled on July 20 and August 17. Federal clearance by May 15th would set filing dates back to May 18 to 24. The first primary would come on July 27, and the runoff, August 24. Finally, if the feds give clearance by May 29th, the candidates would file from June 2 to June 8 and the first primary would come on August 3. A runoff would have to be August 31. And if the feds decide not to give one of the plans the okay, then the Legislature might just hold another special session in May. But wait, they’re going to meet in June anyway. Understand? the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, has spread to all 50 states and over 40 foreign countries. “Volunteers are our most pressing need at this time,” Alan Bolick, Director of N.C. Special Olympics (NCSO) said. “We need coaches, timers, officials, huggers and many other volunteers at both the Local and State Games this spring. According to the NCSO office, there is a local Special Olympic program in 94 of the 100 North Carolina counties. Each must raise funds, recruit volunteers and conduct their own local games. “Help of any kind is always needed and ap preciated,” Bolick said. The Spring State Games, to be held at UNC-Charlotte for the second consecutive year, will consist of track and field events, frisbee and softball throw, volleyball, soccer skills, a pentathalon and special adapted events. “Some who have never seen a Special Olympic event think it is simply a field day where everyone wins a medal,” Bolick said. “Not so. Through the use of a computer, athletes are placed in heats with others of similar age and ability which makes the events quite competitive.” Anyone who would like to volunteer for local Special Olympic Games set for this month, or for the Spring State Games to be held in May, contact North Carolina Special Olympics, P.O.

Employment Security Commission (ESC) recovered $241,562.48 in unemployment insurance overpayments during March, according to figures released today by the commission. The unit investigated 548 persons who have claimed or currently are claiming unemployment insurance benefits. Ron Hawks, supervisor of the Benefit Payment Control Unit said, “In March investigations were increased significantly due to the effectiveness of the computer cross - match system. This system enables us to compare employer and unem ployment insurance claims records and identify potential fraud situations.” Forty - nine per cent of that number, or 270 persons, were found to have been overpaid $85,341.00. The commission classified 98 of those cases as fraud and 270 as non - fraud. Fraud cases are classified as such when a claimant is proved to have knowingly made a false statement on a claim which resulted in overpayments. Non - fraud overpayments result generally from unin tentional filing errors with which fraudulent intent cannot be associated. During March, 75 persons were tried in State courts for unemployment insurance fraud. All 75 were convicted. Hawks said, “Diere are 14 fraud investigators serving the state’s 100 counties. To achieve trials of 75 persons and to receive convictions in 100 per cent of the cases in considered to be ex ceptional.” I ' pfc £ I ' ?■'- * *' 'f*', "l .-rfiy.'yg; jjgfc, J COUNSELORS VISIT COLLEGE - Harold Nichols, Jr., is framed by a milling press in the Machinist Trade shop at College of The Albemarle.
