Chapel Hill residents continued to
fight UNC's proposed power plant
during the Chapel Hill Town Council
meeting Monday night.
The council met to discuss the
University's request for a special use
permit to build the $96 million plant,
which would replace the existing
plant and would be located between
Cameron and McCauley streets.
Farris W. Womack, UNC vice
chancellor of business and finance,
called the new plant the "most
intelligent solution" to the Universi
ty's growing heeds.
Womack said UNC's growth in the
last 10 years was a result of expand
ing research facilities, not a rise in
student population. The campus has

sity faculty in 1950, but continued
to work on his doctoral degree in
economics, receiving it from the
University of Chicago in 1952.
During his 20 years with N.C. State
University, where he was William
Neal Reynolds Distinguished profes
sor of agricultural economics, Bishop
developed a familiarity with the
University system.
While at N.C. State, he was
chairman of the Department of
Agricultural Economics, headed the
Department of Economics and
directed the Agricultural Policy
Institute.
Bishop has served as both admin
istrator and professor since leaving
his post as vice president of the
University of North Carolina system
in 1970. He has been chancellor and
professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Maryland and president

gone from six million square feet 10
years ago to nine million today, he
said.
The boilers at the current plant are
old and could become a hazard to
the University's research, he said.
"The two principal components will
be 50 years old when replaced. They
are unreliable for adequate heating
and cooling."

Dr. suggested the University explore
other sources of power before com
mitting to a new plant, calling
expansion "undesirable."
The plant would include new
exhaust stacks that could be as tall
as 275 feet. Also included in the plans
is space for another boiler to be
added in the future if necessary.
Womack explained that there was

and professor at the University of
Arkansas. In 1980, he joined the
University of Houston system.
Bishop has written numerous
articles for scholarly publications
including four works cited for excel
lence by the American Agricultural
Economics Association. He is also
the co-author of the book "Introduc
tion to Agricultural Economics
Analysis."
In addition to his special assistant
to the provost duties, Bishop will be
an adjunct professor of business
administration and economics.
, "That such a distinguished educa
tor has been recruited for this post
gives an indication of the importance
of this program and this task to the
University," Chancellor Christopher
C. Fordham III said in the release.
"We shall be more than delighted to
have Dr. Bishop join us."
time pressure on the University. If
the plan is not passed and the
financing plans completed by Sep
tember, the cost of the plant could
escalate 10 percent to 15 percent.
Other residents said they were
afraid that the new plant would
increase noise and air pollution.
University officials admitted to the
plant's high noise level but said that
it was an unavoidable aspect of the
larger facilities.
. Also suggested at the meeting was
the possibility of using gas instead
of coal. Coal must be crushed into
smaller pieces in order to burn,
therefore' creating a lot of noise.
University officials claimed that coal
is more economical, however.
A petition signed by 300 people
was presented to the council by Ruth
Foster of 421 Brookside Dr.
The meeting was a continuation of
the May 19 hearing and no date has
been set for further discussion.

Lend a hand
The Summer Tar Heel, as usual,
needs writers and copy editors.
Anyone the slightest bit interested is
encouraged to give it a try. The state
and national, features, arts, sports
and university desks are all seeking
new staff members. No prior writing
experience is necessary, as long as
you can meet deadlines and do one
story a week Anyone interested
should stop by the STH office and
ask for Jo or Jill or call at 962-0245.
Story assignments are usually made
on Friday afternoons for the next
issue, so that would be a good time
to come by and get started.
