Wednesday, October 22, 1375 The Dally Tar Hett 3 'MWtVtWiVAViVAViWV ''wvyW"i " . ..... ..t .. . One of largest centers of its kind WRITERS by Merton Vance Staff Writer Tucked away in modest offices in University Square, the Carolina Population Center is one of the largest institutes of its kind in the world. Through its programs, the center coordinates and compiles information about population-related problems around the world. Such problems include overpopulation, birth control, environmental resource development, energy planning and food production. Universities, public and private agencies, businesses and private citizens throughout the South, the United States and 20 other nations have used the center's resources. "We work across school and departmental lines to achieve goals that require talents of more than one school or department," Winfield Best, director of the center's Communication and Planning Office, said. Organized in 1966, the center gives cohesion and support to population studies by 35 UNC schools and departments and 150 faculty members. It also collaborates with other colleges and universities in conducting population research. The population center is funded by federal and state grants and donations from foundations and businesses. In addition to compiling research information, the center also administers programs in foreign countries. It is currently overseeing two such projects in Africa. Holshouser to speak at CPA luncheon Gov. James B. Holshouser Jr. visits Chapel Hill today to address a noon luncheon of the N.C. Association of Certified Public Accountants. The association has been holding its state convention here since last Saturday, when Sen. Jesse Helms addressed the group. Holshouser" s speech will mark the end of the convention. The governor is scheduled to speak on fiscal controls in state government. The luncheon will begin at 12 p.m. at the Carolina Inn. EMC still says stack pollutes ! ; Although . UNC's heating "plant smokestack was declared one of North -1 Carolina's "202"sources" of "pollution" last" summer, the University has not yet complied with federal air quality standards because of fund shortages, UNC Director of Operations and Engineering Allen Waters said Monday. The state Environmental Management Commission (EMC) listed the heating plant as a polluter in June when the plant failed to meet a deadline for complying with the air quality standards set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Because of the energy crisis and the recession, the standards had not been stringently enforced, Marshall Rachley, EMC regional air quality engineer, said. The standards were set by the federal Clean Air Act. The plant's original anti-pollution plan was to install an electrostatic precipitator which would remove sulphur dioxide from the heating plant's smoke. Waters said. Sulphur dioxide is the primary pollutant released when coal, the University's main fuel, is burned. Plans were then changed to allow for a bag filter system. Instead of directly removing sulphur dioxide, the bag system sends smoke through a series of cloth bags to remove the carbon particles which hold sulphur dioxide and other pollutants. Bag filter systems remove more than 95 of the solids in smoke. Waters said. The design for the bag system is in its final stages, according to Waters. But he said funds are not available to begin construction. Until the bag filter system is complete, the University will continue to buy low-sulfur coal, UNC Utilities Director Grey Culbreth said. The coal now used by the University contains approximately two per cent sulphur. In the summer, the University also uses natural gas for fuel. Although gas is virtually pollution-free, it is not readily available to non-residential customers in winter months, he said. -Dwight Ferguson Tht Dallv Tar Heel It published by th Unlverlt ol North Carolina Media Board; dally except SOnday, exam periods, vacations, and eummer sessions.

One of the projects, the African Health Training Institutions Project, collaborates with medical and health schools in more than 40 African nations to improve family health and provide family planning information. Regional seminars are held to allow Africans to consult experts on health matters and family planning, and educational publications on family health are distributed under the project. The U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) finances the project, Best said. The other African project, jointly administered by UNC and the University of Ghana, gives technical and financial aid to graduate students studying population problems. In conjunction with the UNC department of health administration, the center helps population researchers in other countries administer family planning programs. Best said the center has also supervised projects in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. In addition to its international programs, the center does much of its work in North Carolina, Best said. Its N.C. Services Office aids graduate students and faculty members engaged in population research and trains teachers to educate mentally retarded persons in sexuality and family planning topics. The State Services Office has also developed a family planning program for rural areas of North Carolina. Organized under a federal grant in 1970, the program extends family planning information to areas where hospitals and clinics are not well developed. Another North Carolina service, the Intercampus Program, pools the expertise of faculty members in population study from schools all across the state. Best said. The center also maintains a Technical Information Service, a computerized data base that is the largest of its kind in the world. As a result of its multi-disciplinary programs, the center is the largest center anywhere for the training of graduate students and professionals in population and family planning. Best said, adding, "There is no other facility like this for mobilizing the resources of a major University." The Daily Tar Heel needs two experienced news writers to serve as beat and general assignment reporters. Applicants must have past newspaper or journalism experience and must have examples of their work.

Eno River group holds meeting Discusses alternatives to state park The Orange County Eno River Task Force held its first meeting Tuesday night to discuss possible alternatives to a planned state park on the Eno River near Hillsborough. Although details of the meeting were unavailable at press time, Task Force Chairperson B.B. Olive said prior to the meeting that he hoped the force's procedural rules would be completed during the session. The task force was created by the Orange County Board of Commissioners following a September public hearing in which heated debate between citizen's groups arose over the proposed park. The Eno runs from Durham County through Hillsborough inot western Orange County. The State Parks Commission of the Department of Natural Resources began buying land for the park in 1969. Thus far,' they have purchased 1,260 acres, with 701 acres in Orange County. The state presented its park proposal to the county last February at a public hearing. Two proposals have been developed for the park. One plan would call for a 5,500 acre park, and the other for 3,500-acres. The proposal presently calls for about 20 miles of the river to be encompassed by the park. Olive said the task force is scheduled to report back to the county commissioners in February 1976. THE COMMITTEE ON ESTABLISHED LECTURES University of North Carolina Chapel Hill invites you to attend the LEG by DR. HARVEY G . C McNAIK TIME O The Divinity School, Harvard University "The Guru and the Great Kahn: The Significance of Neo-Oriental Spirituality in America Today" on THURSDAY, OCT. 23 at 8 p.m. MEMORIAL HALL mr S Wnrfft Up to $1MI)(M) Aii ppurteaity for 45i iy Qualified Sophomores Msg If you're the kind of person we're looking for, you've already started to think about what you'd like to do after graduation. If a scholarship leading to a career as an Officer in the U.S. Navy appeals to you, you'll find this message well worth reading. Iwo-ibar Fall Scholarships The opportunity is very attractive. If you're selected, we'll provide full tuition during your Junior and Senior years, pay for your books and educational fees, and give you $100 a month for 10 months each year to help cover your living expenses. There are two different programs you can apply for. The first is the Nuclear Propulsion Candidate Scholarship Program (NPCS). To qualify, you must have one semester each of calculus and physics (or two semesters of calculus) and have a B-minus average or better. It is open to men only. The other program is the Two-year NROTC Scholarship Program. The only difference in the qualifications is that you must have a C average (2.3 out of 4.0) or better. It is open to men and women. For both programs, you'll need to pass Navy qualification tests. And, quite frankly, it will help if your major is math, physical science, or engineering. The Cuiriculum After you're accepted, you begin with six wTeeks of training next summer at the Naval Science Institute at Newport, R.I. During your final two years of college, you take several required courses in math, physics, and Naval Science. You also go on a summer cruise prior to your Senior year. (Of course, you're paid for all your summer duty.) Upon graduation, you are commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. And from then on your career can take you anywhere in the world, in a variety of fulfilling jobs. Those who apply for the NPCS Program have a particular challenge ahead of them: The Navy's Nuclear Power Program. Not everyone who applies makes it: the men in charge of more than two thirds of our country's nuclear reactors must be a very special breed. Final acceptance into the Navy's Nuclear Power Program is determined during your Senior year after an interview in Washington with the Director, Division of Naval Reactors. A two-year scholarship worth up to $10,000. A unique opportunity to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. You'll want to act now; The deadline for acceptance is May 1, 1976 -and once the quotas are filled, you'll have lost your chance to earn yourself a scholarship.
