Several environmental groups in both
North Carolina and around the country
are concerned with the policies of Secre
tary of the Interior James Watt, and some
state environmentalists foresee battles
forming over Watt's plans for some of the
state's wilderness areas.
Various environmental groups have
been calling for the resignation of Watt
since he took office in January.
The Sierra Club has acquired 700,000
signatures on a petition seeking Watt's
resignation and is supported by The
Friends of the Earth, The Wilderness
Society, The Defenders of Wildlife and
the National Audobon Society. The
group is seeking 1 million signatures and
plans to present the petition to Congress.
Some of Watt's policies may have
damaging effects on wilderness areas in
North Carolina. Restrictions concerning
the use of of f-road vehicles in theack
Bay Wildlife Refuge and Cape Lockout
National Seashore areas may be weak-

ened, and Watt has suggested that con
cessionaires play a more active role in
running national parks, presently super
vised by the National Park Service, which
could affect the Great Smokey National
Park in western North Carolina.
Some of those concerned with the pre
servation of certain areas of North Caro
lina's Outer Banks said recently they say
disturbing tendencies in Watt's policies.
"Our real fear-is that Watt is showing
signs of being friendly with the ORV (off
; road vehicle) crowd," said Bill Lienesch
of the National Parks and Conservation
Association in . Washington. Watt has
tried unsuccessfully to have , former
President Jimmy Carter's executive order
limiting the use of ORVs rescinded,
Lienesch said. -
The projected use of ORVs in the Back
Bay Wildlife Refuge also concerns en
vironmental groups. A proposal is under
consideration to modify access regula
tions to allow owners of improved pro
perty south of the refuge to make a
limited number of trips through the area.
To wn lias new compiit er system

' Computers, computers and more computers. They seem to
come out of the woodwork and do everything from navigating a
ship to helping run a town.
The Town of Chapel Hill has recently purchased a new com
puter system for its finance and personnel offices that will be
fully operational by Dec. 1. ( .
The new Microdata system, which replaces an eight-year-old
computer system,. will be housed in the Municipal Building and
will cost approximately $65,000.
"The old computer was very advanced for its time, but by
modern standards it is quite antiquated," said Mary Parker,
finance director for Chapel Hill.
Parker said the new computer would save time and money.
"We often had to sit around and wait on the old one. It was
very limited and often had to be supplemented manually."
Attention UNC Sailing Club Members: There will be a cook
out at our boathouse at 4 p.m. on University Lake. Come on

Such action would be destructive and
would threaten sensitive nesting areas, '.
said a spokesman for the Friends of the
Earth, a Washington-based environmen
tal group.
Although he has not publicly sup
ported proposals for Secretary Watt's
resignation, Gov. Jim Hunt "has op
posed him on offshore oil leases around
Cape Hatteras," a spokesman for Hunt
said. Hunt successfully filed suit against
the proposed sale of several oil leases
twenty miles off Cape Hatteras. If an oil
spill occurred at one of these sites, there
was a 25 percent chance the spill would
reach the North Carolina coast, the
spokeman said.
Watt's wooing of concessionaires
deeply troubles environmentalists. "He's
told concessionaires that he'll go out of
his way to help them," said Gordon
Roberts of the Wilderness Society, which
was the first environmental group to
voice disapproval of Watt. The conces-'
sionaires would like to turn parts of the
parks into Disneylands," Roberts said.

worship Service at 1 1 a.m. in room 217 of the Union. All are

Furthermore, while attendance at
national parks is skyrocketing and Con
gress has authorized several new parks,
Watt has put a moratorium on the ac
quisition of any new parks, Roberts said.
With the new computer, work that usually takes six weeks to
compile can be obtained in minutes. Microdata is a totally inter
active system, which means that operators can enter and process
data at any time. The computer can easily formulate analyses
and reports, and information is easily retrieved.
"Since the computer will save valuable time, we will be able to
do more analytical work," Parker said. Microdata should also
improve record accuracy.
Two computer terminals will be located in the finance depart
ment, one in personnel, and one cash register terminal in the
cashier's office:
Parker said that the Microdata system would help the line
(service) departments get up-to-date and detailed reports on
their budgets.
"Chapel Hill is a sophisticated municipality with great de
mands placed on it because of the University," Parker said.
Parker said there may be a charge for the computer's services
if they are not done routinely by one of the departments.

Club holds dunce
By KEITH KING
. Features Editor v
There is going to be a German revival on
campus tonight, but there probably will
not be any German spoken there.
The UNC German Club a dance club
affiliated with campus fraternities and so
rorities, will make a reappearance in. Wool
len Gym tonight with Bo Thorpe and Gen
eration II, a big jazz-swing band.
The German Club was one of the oldest
and most well-know campus organiza
tions, but in recent years the club disap
peared. The last. German Dance was in
1963, although the group sponsored con
certs for a few years after that.
"We didn't know about it," said Betsy
Swartzbaugh about the old German Club.
SWatzbaugh a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma sorority is now vice president of
the club.
Swartzbaugh and German Club Presi
dent Jim Maynard said Thorpe first con
tacted the'lnterfraternity and Panhellenic
councils last spring about reviving the club.
He (Thorpe) wanted to see this type of
thing reinstated, and he told us what it had
been," Swartzbaugh said.
What it had been was very big. But
there is not a lot of detailed information
available about the club.
; "The club dates back beyond 1890 and
was first featured in the original Yackety
Yack of 1901." The Yack gave multi-page
coverage to the club.
The Yack also stated the purpose of the
club as bringing "outstanding entertain
ment to Carolina." " 1 '
The Club sponsored two or three con
certs and dances each year, usually in the
fall, winter and spring. The concerts were
fee hour is 3:30-4 p.m. in 202 Smith Building. All are welcome.

ment is braked -to UNC -male students, less than 25 pounds
overweight. This group will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon Oct. '
a
open to jthe general student body and
dances wre limited to a few fraternities
and were black tie affairs.
The revival of the club has not been
easy, Swartzbaugh and Maynard said. A
concert originally scheduled "for today on.
Ehringhaus field had to be cancelled
because the costs exceeded original
estimates.
"We anticipated support from the
Union. That was rejected because they
were skeptical of involvement of non
Greek participation," Maynard said.
"Like us, they had a lack of knowledge of
the tradition.
The tradition had been somewhat snob
bish, Maynard said, but the club hoped to
change its image this time.
"We opened it up to all Greek organiza
tions, not just to a select few like in the
past," Maynard said.
Maynard said the dance could be an ac
tivity in which all the Greek organizations
could participate in together, in contrast
with independent dances like pledge for
mals. He said the dance had been changed to
a semi-formal occasion because the club
could not afford all the trappings of a fully
formal dance.
Thorpe's band fits into the tradition.
Big swing-jazz bands were the entertain
ment of the 1940s and 1950s. The music
changed with the times, though, and the
groups of the 1960s included Little An
thony and the Imperials, the Shirelles,
Louie Armstrong and Fats Domino. .
German Club members can still pur
chase tickets for the dance from their
house representatives until time for the
.dance, but tickets will not be sold at the
door. Tickets are $10 a couple. f
