investigated

The North Carolina imprisonment rate,
now the second highest in the country, has
given state officials reason to begin plan
ning alternatives to prison terms.
More than $100 million has been spent
on state prisons in the last five years to
make room for the excessive number of in
mates. ,
Judge Willis Whichard, chairman of the
Gtizen's Commission on Alternatives to
Incarceration, said recently that the reason
for crowded conditions in North Carolina
was that more people were being sentenced
to prison for longer terms than in most
other states. "It's time to try something
different," he said.
Cramped conditions in North Caro
lina Central Prison in Raleigh have
resulted in more tension among prisoners,
Central Prison Warden Sam Garrison said.
Space in the dormitories has been reduced,
and some rooms have tripled bunks instead
of doubles.
Since January 1970, the population of
Central Prison has risen from 666 to 1,480
inmates, Garrison said. But even with
crowded conditions, there is no sign at
Central of prisoners revolt, which has trou
bled prisons in other states, he said.
Restitution is one of the primary alter
natives to active prison terms being con
sidered, Whichard said. Under a restitu
tion plan, a criminal's sentence would be
to repay stolen or damaged property or to
be sentenced to community service while
living at home. '
Another option is pre- and post-trial im
prisonment. This program would provide
release options besides bail bond. Defen
dants would be interviewed, and an alter
nate, sentence would be recommended to
the court ' with regard to the crirrunaTs
financial and family situation. Mecklen
berg and Cumbland counties have esta
blished this type of program.
Some areas have established facilities to
aid in the prevention of crimes. Orange
County has a Dispute Settlement Center,
where help is provided for people with
problems that could lead to violence.
Releasing prisoners up to 30 days early is
also an alternative, but early parole candi- .
dates would be screened carefully before
such a decision would be made, Whichard
said.
Central Prison is undergoing renovation
to accommodate more people, and two new
prison units tentatively scheduled for occu
pancy in two years are under construction.
Crowding is not as severe in the women's
correction unit in Raleigh. It also has not
affected the women as intensely as it has the
men, because women do not become as
physically violent as men do, said Jennie
Lancaster, assistant superintendent for
treatment and programs. '
The major problem facing women in
mates is a lack of privacy, and complaining
about this has increased recently among
inmates. Women tend to react through
medical complaints, Lancaster said.
To help relieve some of the women's
frustration, sponsored activities and in
tramural programs have been designed.
"Overcrowding causes everyone increased
tension," Lancaster said.

Large pipes and dust occupy the steam tunnel that runs under the UNC campus
:.. temperatures inside often reach 200 degrees, power plant employees say
Steam tunnel underneath campus
provides heat, 'hazard to workers
By RANDY WALKER
DTH Staff Writer
"It's scary to go in there. If you get overcome by the heat,
you sit down and die. I doubt anybody could hear you
scream."
UNC Power Plant engineer Ray DuBose was talking about
the steam tunnel beneath the campus.
"No one man can go inside alone, unless there's someone
there to help him, to maintain voice contact. It's something
we're extremely careful of."
Except for North Campus buildings, which are heated by
hot water, almost all UNC buildings are heated by steam
from the power plant, DuBose said.
: The main tunnel goes from the plant to Cobb, which is
bout a mile and a quarter. It's 8 fett'l?6n&ttr ceiling to the
floor." Five pipes along both sides of the tunnel carry steam
away from the plant, and a single pipe brings back the steam,
condensed into water, DuBose said. Channels branch off to
individual buildings from the main tunnel.
"We're scheduled to go down there once every six months.
We go from one end to the other, lubricate joints, start all the
fans," DuBose said.
Manholes near Venable, Gardner, Murphey, Lenoir and
Joyner halls mark the position of the tunnel.
"It gets up to 200 degrees in there .... We can turn on an
exhaust fan, then open a manhole and let cool air in. We can
cool it down to maybe 120, 130 degrees," DuBose said.
One UNC student, who did not want to be named, ven
tured into tunnel last winter.
"There weren't any lights down there. I took a flashlight
you can see at least half a mile with. We could see signs that
people had been down there old clothes, beer cans. There
was some great graffiti."
Dust and the heat made it hard to breathe, he said.
"Our eyes were burning; our noses were burning so bad
we had to cover our faces We. wer$ covered with dust .when
we came out of there," the student said.
DuBose warned against such expeditions by students. But
he said that in his six years at the power plant, he had never
heard of anyone getting trapped in the tunnel.
"We don't generally have problems. Nobody wants to go
in there," he said.
' The Associated Press
SAN LUIS OBISP, Calif. A surprise
column of more than 5,000 people carrying
babies and waving placards marched past
the gates of the Diablo Canyon nuclear
power plant Sunday in grassroots support
of an anti-nuclear blockade.
The march, organized among the local
population, was not connected with a six
day blockade by the Abalone Alliance,
which was regrouping for a renewed assault
following a crucial decision by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.
The NRC will vote today in Washington
on Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s request for
an interim permit for low-power testing of
one of the reactors at the $2.3 billion plant.
. The commission is expected to approve the
request.
The alliance, which has had 1,000 of its
supporters arrested at the site during the
past week, said it would try to prevent
, workers from entering the plant to load
the nuclear fuel for the test through a non
violent blockage.
. Sunday's marchers, who included fami-:
IJes with children along with baby strollers
and miscellaneous pets, began at Avila
Beach about 1.5 miles southeast of the
power plant's main gate.
They waved American flags and ban
ners and signs proclaiming "Locals
Against Diablo Canyon" and "Another
Family Against Diablo Canyon."
. San Luis Obispo Undersheriff Arnie
Goble estimated the crowd at 5,000 at
noon, saying, "It's-a different breed of
people out here today."
Meanwhile, the Abalone Alliance's tent
. city near the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant
was bustling as the anti-nuclear protesters
. prepared for renewed action against the
testing.
The Abalone Alliance, which organized
the anti-nuclear protest that began a week
ago, says the goal of its non-violent
blockHe is. to prevent workers from enter
'ling the plant to load fuel and start the first"
of the twin reactors for a series of tests.
But PG&E, which has had its fuel on
site for years, says the Alliance's blockade
has had no effect on preparation for the
expected interim license and will not delay
the process of loading fuel.
The protesters' tent city north of PG&Es
rugged 735-acre plant site was "really fill
ing up again," said Mary Moore of the
Abalone Alliance.
"I would say there's a thousand, more
or less not only people being released
from jail but also fresh people from out of
town," she said. v
Sheriffs Lt. LaRue Jubelt said 709 of
the arrested blockaders had been released
. from jail after being charged with misde
meanors such as trespassing, failure to
disperse, blocking a public road and illegal
assembly.
Some were released on their own recog
nizance, others pleaded no contest and
after serving four days in jail the
equivalent of a $120 fine at $30 a day
were released and told to report for ar
raignment in October, the Alliance said.
Jubelt said a number of deputies were
sent home to rest during Sunday's hiatus.
The combined law force during the protest
by up to 3,000 people has included local
deputies, police from other communities
and countries and state troopers.
Moore said blockaders would be at all
access gates on PG&E property today, and
that swimmers would approach the coast
line by sea.
In contrast to tension that mounted with
growing numbers of arrests earlier, the
weekend mood appeared relaxed and al
most friedly. On Sunday, only a dozen
demonstraters milled about near the front
gate, some talking amiably to officers.
"I'm not going to say it's over," said San
Luis Obispo County Sheriff George Whi
ting. "I think there's less happening."
Moore said, ' 'There's not much point in
blockading at the gate on Sunday," as few
workers enter the plant.
The ritual of mass arrests, replayed so
often that all participants seemed to have
their parts memorized, occurred only once
on Saturday, when 1 1 people held hands in
front of three ranks of highway patrolmen
just inside the main gate.
. Patrolmen some looking .bored, took
"cHch 'blockader by the arm and almost
casually .walked to a temporary booking
desk. One elderly women, sobbing quietly,
was led away.
The ranks of officers then opened a
. path for a single bus, apparently loaded .
with workers. ,.

Second segment aired Sunday
Friday approves, CBS foHow-iip covera
ge
By DAVID McHUGH
DTH Staff Writer
UNC President William C. Friday expressed satis
faction Sunday with a CBS follow-up to last week's
widely criticized "Sunday Morning" story on the
UNC desegregation dispute.
Friday, who wrote a letter of protest to CBS over
last week's show, said the follow-up "presented im
portant, significant facts that were not put before the
public in the first program."
Last week's "Sunday Morning" show, entitled "In
herently Unequal," was attacked by UNC officials as
being one-sided. The program showed the Chapel Hill
and North Carolina Central University campuses jux
taposed with footage of 1960s civil rights disturbances .
and former Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Friday said the five-minute follow-up selected from
previously unaired portions of an interview between
Friday and CBS correspondent Ed Rabel, was a pre
sentation of issues ignored last week.
. As an example, Friday cited "the debate over whe
ther the faculty and administrators shall have institu
tional control and not have the federal government
prescribe what shall be taught by whom. This issue
was not addressed by the first show."
During the interview, Friday said it was difficult to
desegregate while heeding the demands that the state's
black campuses keep their "black orientation." He
also cited statistics showing a rise in minority enroll
ment in the state's predominantly white institutions
during the 1970s" '
Although CBS offered no apology, Friday said the
matter' was closed as far as he was concerned. "It was
generous of them to give the time," he said, adding
he would call "Sunday Morning" host Charles Kuralt
to thank him.
Kuralt, a graduate of UNC's School of Journalism,
said in a brief introduction to the follow-up that the
show was taking another look at the story because of
the complicated issues involved. He stopped short of
a retraction or apology.
In addition to Friday's comments, James G. Babb,
president of WBTV in Charlotte, CBS's largest North
Carolina affiliate, said the follow-up "came closer to
bringing the story into balance," Babb, whose sta
tion criticized the initial "Sunday Morning" segment,
said he was glad that "President Friday was allowed
to expound on what is a very complicated issue. It
(the follow-up) clarified and amplified the situation -
that we do have integration in North Carolina."
In the original segment, CBS television crews came
to the UNC campus several days before the original
show was aired and taped interviews with Friday,
Black Student Movement Chairperson Mark Canady,
Student Body President Scott Norberg and several
UNC officials.
After the first "Sunday Morning" segment was
broa'dcast, CBS received complaints from not only
Friday and Babb but also Gov. Jim Hunt, who sent a
telegram to' CBS headquarters last week expressing
his dismay.

Strong kicking gives Heels 49-7 victory over Miami
By GEOFFREY MOCK
Assistant Sports Editor t
After years of believing that the best way to
move the football was to either run or pass it,
North Carolina has found out that the quickest
way to get the ball toward the goal line is to kick
it. .
After sputtering early on offensive, the -Tar
Heels were ignited by the punting of Jeff Hayes :
and the play of their defense and eased to a 49-7 .
victory over Miami of Ohio Saturday in Kenan
Stadium.
Hayes punting and kickoffs kept the Red-
skins deep in their own territory throughout the
game, and the UNC defense usually kept Miami
in trouble.
Poor Miami field position set up short Tar
Heel drives for scores, including one of 3 yards
after Miami punter Steve Bumpass was forced
to throw an incomplete pass from the end zone.
The defense added a score of its own when cor
ncrback Greg Poole intercepted a Redskin pass
and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown.
"In the first half, field position was the dif
ference," Carolina coach Dick Crum said. "If
there wasn't a noticeable difference in field po
sition, it would have been a different type of
ball game." , . -.
Miami coach Tom Reed said, "Our offense
. got us in trouble early because we just couldn't
, move the ball. But you have to give a lot of cre-
dit for that to North Carolina's defense and its
kicking game, which kept us keep in our own
territory nearly the entire first half."
Hayes, who had been taken off field-goal du
ties so he could punt, hit three punts within the
Miami 20-yard line in the first half and put most
of his kickoffs far into the end zone.
"The punt is a good defensive weapon,"
Hayes said. "Anything inside the 20 is great.
That's our goal. If the defense can shut them
down that deep, then we start out in great field
position."
Carolina also used more conventional offen
sive weapons. Tailback Kelvin Bryant continued
: in his attempt to outsocre the nation with five
touchdowns, four by rushing. He gained 136
yards in 29 carries and was unstoppable near the
end zone.
"When we get 2, 3 yards from the end zone, I
just want to get in there," Bryant said.
Despite the lopsided score, Crum said the win
was more difficult-than last week's 56-0 romp
over Last Carolina. "This was not an easy ball
game," he said. "The score was deceptive. Their
kids never quit. They were still hitting hard at
the end."
The tempo of the game was established with
the first series of downs. After being unable to
return Hayes' opening kickoff, the Redskins
were pushed back to their own 10-yard line, and
after a poor Miami punt, Carolina took over at
the Redskin 39-yard line. From there it was an
easy march to the end. zone for UNC, with
Bryant going over from the 8. ,
The ease of that score at first proved mislead
ing, for the Tar Heels had trouble moving the
ball for the rest of the quarter. "Offensively, we
had a hard time getting started," Crum said. "1
think the fact that things came so easy last week
may have had something to do with that plus
their defense was so quick."
. But the defense came to the rescue. Late in
the first quarter, Jeff Hayes hit a 53-yard punt
downed by Sammy Johnson at the Miami 3. The
Carolina defense kept Miami right there and
when Bumpass panicked on the punt, the Tar
Heels took advantage of it, with Bryant scoring
his second touchdown from the 2.
