stedies alternatives
By JOHN DUSENBURY
Sts!T Writer
A recent proposal to create an
Alternative Energy Corporation has
drawn praise from government officials
and the public, and if successful, the
program could lower monthly electric
bills.
The purpose of the non-profit
corporation proposed by the state
Utilities Commission is to promote
research, development and
commercialization of new energy sources
while slowing new utility plant
construction.
"By promoting alternative energy, we
can eliminate the need for large and
expensive power plants, which will push
up the cost of electricity," said Lavon
Page, president of the N.C. Conservation
Council, "By decreasing the need for
utilities we hope to hold rates down for
consumers.
"Anything that can be done to reduce
the need for further power plants will
benefit us by keeping electric rates down
and avoiding environmental problems
that both nuclear and coal power carry,"
Page said.
Examples of natural alternatives
include solar energy, wind power, wood
heat, cogeneration and biomass, a
process which takes organic material and
Proposed U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP) With the oil
rich Middle East in turmoil, President
Carter asked Congress on Monday to
approve a $616 billion election-year
budget that aims most new spending at
energy and defense programs.
Carter's budget proposal for the 1981
fiscal year was the largest in the nation's
history and represented a $52 billion
increase over this year's federal spending.
Military funding got the biggest boost,
growing from $127.4 billion in 1980 to
$142.7 billion in 1981.
There was little new money for most
domestic programs, but dollars were
found for job training, housing and
revenue-sharing programs to mollify key
Democratic factions.

get a back rub the entire time. Rizzuto started
the touch for health procedure by turning my
kit arm in a circular pattern; he was testing my
muscles. This would indicate which parts oi
my body were weak; he said.
The very first muscle was weak. As he took
my arm and began to exercise it, my left
shoulder immediately popped. My arm was
not rotating correctly, he informed me. This is
what it is all about, he said finding the weak
muscles and strengthening them.
h He put his strong fingers into my chest, as if
he were kneading dough, and massaged the
area near my left shoulder. He then tested it
again. He took my arm in his large hands, bent
my elbow and told me to push toward him
while he pushed my arm in the opposite
direction. It did not pop this time.
This is how he tested each muscle during the
30 minute period. He put pressure on each part
of my body to see if I could withstand the
pressure. If so, the muscles were strong. If not,
they were weak.

converts it into a usable energy source
such as alcohol. Also, more than 20 dams
across the state that could be converted to
hydro power producers have been
identified.
Some of these alternatives have been
dismissed in the past as too costly, but
economic evaluations now indicate that
many of them will deliver energy at a cost
of $30 to $40 per barrel of oil equivalent.
OPEC is now charging at least $24 a
barrel and the spot market is bringing it
up to $40 a barrel.
In a speech before the state Utilities
Commission, Gov. Jim Hunt said North
Carolina has been a national leader both
in conservation and the development of
new resources.
"We are fortunate in North Carolina
because we have the natural resources to
exploit these options," Hunt said.
The commission has proposed a 13
member governing board which would
head the new corporation. But there is a
dispute over who will represent the
majority on the board utility company
members or public members. The
consumer groups involved advocate that
the public have the majority of seats
because they feel the utility companies
would not represent their interests as well
as public members.
"The power companies have different
interests; they want to make a profit,"
budget largest in history
The budget projected a $16 billion
deficit next year, the final admission that
Carter has been unable to fulfill his 1976
campaign promise to balance the budget.
This year's deficit, which Carter had
expected to hold close to last year's $27.7
billion, now is projected to exceed $40
billion. The sharp increase was blamed in
part on U.S. spending for grain purchases
and Pakistani aid in the wake of the
Soviet Union's military intervention in
Afghanistan.
And although the budget document
acknowledged that continuation of
inflation at more than 1 0 percent this year
would push most Americans into higher
tax brackets by 1981, it proposed no tax
cut.
He raised my head off the bed, for example,
and put one hand behind my neck and the
other on my forehead. He pushed my head
toward the bottom of the bed and told me to
exert as much brute force as possible.
Surprisingly enough, I withheld the push and
kept from hitting my head on the bed. At least
my head has some strong muscles, I thought.
For those muscles that were weak, he
massaged the area and loosened them up. He
would push and 1 would pull, like a tug-of-war,
with my muscles as the rope. After that, he
retested the muscle to make sure it was
working. Usually, it was.
When the touch for health procedure was
over, I got off the bed feeling like I had just
worked out at the YMCA. My body was
relaxed and my muscles felt loose. I felt like the
rubber man at the fair who can touch his toes
with his head. I stood in the same position as 1
had before the workout and Rizzuto observed
my body again. He didn't have to tell me that
my knees weren't stiff and locked and my back

Page said. "Their emphasis is on growth.
There is some concern that the money in
the corporation would not be spent as
effectively as it could be for alternative
energy.'"
Don Denton, vice president of Duke
Power Company in Charlotte, said Duke
Power has proposed a board which
includes representatives from four
investor-owned companies and
cooperatives, along with the executive
director of public safety.
Tax and other revenues are expected to
increase to $600 billion in fiscal 1981,
which begins Oct. 1 . Some $ 14 billion will
come from the so-called "windfall profits
tax" that Congress is expected to levy on
oil-company earnings. Personal income
tax collections are expected to rise IS
percent above the 1980 level to $274.4
billion next year.
This increase in revenue will occur, the
administration says, despite the
likelihood of a mild recession in the first
half of 1980 and sluggish recovery into
1981.

didn't sway as much. 1 could feel it. 1 was
impressed.
But because I was so impressed, 1 asked
Rizzuto why more people in this area did not
make visits to the local massage parlor. He
quickly explained that there is a big difference
between massage and touch for health.
Touch for health uses tension to strengthen
muscles, he said, which is not what people
usually associate with massage. Touch for
health is . mainly . for people with skeletal
muscular problems, usually in the neck or
back, he said. Rizzuto said that the procedure
does not heal, but simply maintains health.
I shook his hand, thanked him and walked
out into the long hall feeling as if my health had
been maintained for the day. I had gone there
expecting a titillating massage by a beautiful
blonde but left feeling healthier. As I stepped
onto Franklin Street, the cool air hit me in the
face and 1 realized that my back and my knees,
if nothing else, were relieved that I had been
touched for health and not massaged.

we should have drawbacks now," Taylor
said, referring to Kelly's opposition.
John Temple, UNC vice chancellor for
business and finance, said there was a
surplus in the student health service
building fund of more than $300,000, but
he added he did not think this would
cover next year's expenses.
There would be a $437,000 loss if a fee
increase is not approved, Temple said.
In other business, the trustees
approved a new fee to expand and
improve the intramural and recreational
sports programs, contingent upon the
results of a student referendum.
The proposed fee, estimated at $3.75
per semester would allow the current
intramural program, recreational sports
program and the Sports Club Council to
be incorporated into a new intramural
recreational sports program (IM-REC
Sports),"which would be administered
through the physical education
department. Currently the Sports Club
Council is a division of Student Affairs
and receives money from the Campus
Governing Council. The new fee also

Kelly said that allowing students to
decide the issue themselves, was a victory
for the student body.
The Board of Trustees also approved a
recommendation for a new orientation
fee. The fee would be a one-time charge
for all new students.
The fee would be assessed only in the
fall semester. The proposed fees would be
$12.25 for freshmen, $7.75 for transfer
students and $4 for professional and
graduate students.

Kennedy blames Carter for Iron crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, seeking to rejuvenate
his presidential campaign, on Monday blamed President Carter for the Iranian
crisis and said restoring draft registration is a "step across the threshhcld cf
Cold War II."
In his own state of the union message, Kennedy also called for a six-month
wage and price freeze and immediate gasoline rationing.
And the Massachusetts Democrat, whose loss to Carter in the Iowa precinct
caucuses last week prompted speculation about the future of his candidacy,
declared he was in the race to stay.
There was no immediate response from the White House, but Carter has
opposed mandatory wage-price controls.
Saudis boost oil price by 02 a barrel
NEW YORK (AP) Saudi Arabia, the largest member of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the supplier of about 7.4 percent cf U.S.
oil needs, told customers Monday it has increased its base crude oil price by $2
to $26 a barrel, Exxon Corp. announced.
The 8.3 percent increase in the price of Arabian light crude, the traditional
benchmark on which other OPEC prices are based, was retroactive to Jan. 1
and had been expected by many analysts.
The move lifted the average price of a 42-gallon barrel of OPEC oil to about
$28 from $26.83. A year ago, OPEC oil sold for an average of $13.50.
Sadr : U.S. must admit to crimes in Iran
(AP) Iran's president-elect called on the United States Monday to
acknowledge its crimes in Iran as a prelude to the release of American hostages
in Tehran and rejected an offer of U.S. military and economic aid after they are
freed, a French newspaper reported.
The daily newspaper Le Monde also quoted president-elect Abolhaisan Eani
Sadr as saying that while Soviet troops in neighboring Afghanistan were Irarfi
most immediate threat, Iran wanted no interference from either Moscow cr
Washington.
Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, meanwhile, wsj
reported in completely satisfactory condition at the Tehran hospital where he
was admitted five days ago for what doctors called a minor heart ailment.
Games snubbed by panel
WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee voted 14-0
Monday to urge American athletes and
sports fans to snub the Summer Olympics
in Moscow if the International Olympics
Committee allows the Games to proceed.
The panel called on the international
committee to agree to the request made
by the U.S. Olympic Committee on
Saturday that the games be canceled or
transferred if Soviet troops remain in
Afghanistan beyond the Feb. 20 deadline
set by President Carter.
Discussion on the resolution began
almost immediately on the Senate floor,
but a vote was not expected until Tuesday
at the earliest.
Chairman Frank Church, D-Idaho,
. said the committee's primary concern was
that the Soviets would use the Olympics
to put "the stamp of approval on the
invasion of Afghanistan and the stamp of
indifference on the world's reaction to
that brutal and dangerous act of
aggression."
Church said that unlike the House
version, passed last week by a 386-12
vote, the Senate resolution docs not
propose that other games be set up as an
alternative to the Moscow Olympics.
Nonetheless, Christopher said the
United States did not intend at present to
invoke passport restrictions to bar
American athletes and spectators from

He said that while that might be an
alternative for the future, "we have no
present intention of restricting the right
of any American to travel to the Olympic
Games in Moscow."
CoL Donald Miller, executive director
of the U.S.. Olympic Committee, made
clear that in its unanimous vote Saturday
the committee did not call for boycotting
the Olympics outright. He said that most
of the world's Olympic committees
oppose a boycott if the Olympics are
proceeding in Moscow.
A panel of three Olympic athletes were
divided on whether the Olympics should
go ahead as scheduled.
"Suddenly my desire to compete in the
Olympic Games is an unpatriotic act,"
said Anita de Frantz of Princeton, N j.t

Olympic rowing team, who said she felt

Al Oerter, Olympic gold medalist in the
discus throw, said that while he
originally had similar views he now
believed a boycott was justified.

effort," Oerter said. "I think a message
