Martini Feffeses CASH request
By CHRIS CHAPMAN
Staff Writer
Gov. Jim Martin has recently
rejected a request by the Coalition
for Alternatives to Shearon Harris
for a moratorium on the licensing
of the Harris nuclear power plant.
Martin responded to the effort to
halt the plant's testing process in a
letter last week. CASH requested a
moratorium on testing because of
unanswered safety and construction
questions about the nuclear plant.
The group also cited high costs, an
inadequate disaster plan for. the
plant, and the low-level radioactive
waste the plant would generate as
reasons for a moratorium.
Martin said he refused the CASH
request because of a lack of

King said Cobey will concentrate
on political rallies, especially several

Basketball Tar Heels Including The Debut of
Carolina's New Freshmen
Student tickets are now available for the Blue-White basketball
games, which will be played after the Maryland and Virginia football
games on November 1st and November 15th. Both these games will
be played in the air-conditioned Smith Center and the halftimes will
be only five minutes (so you can get out in time for the rest of your
Saturday evening plans.)
HOW TO GET YOUE TICKETS:
Present your student I.D. and athletic pass at the Smith Center Box
Office between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Students may also purchase
guest tickets at $5.00 in addition to their complimentary student
tickets.
BLOCK SEATING AVAILABLE
Student groups of 20 or more are welcome to send a representative
to the Ticket Office with the group's athletic passes for block seating.

"(The policy) probably represents
what the system has been doing
anyway," McCormick said.
But the move was not made in
response to a recent rash of incidents,
Huffines said.
The first draft of the policy will
be read at the Oct. 20 School Board
meeting.
It will be modeled on the search
and seizure policy the Wake County
school system has, McCormick said.
Under the proposed policy, stu
dents and their belongings could be
searched under "reasonable suspi
jurisdiction.
"The federal government has full
authority for licensing, approving
and monitoring nuclear power
plants," the letter read. "I therefore
decline (again) to intrude the state
government into a duplication of
jurisdiction that we have no person
nel reserve to fulfill.
"The only consequence of follow
ing your request would be to add
to the lengthy delays that have
already drastically added to the
construction costs and financing
charges of this and many other
nuclear power plants in America
(uniquely among modern nations)
and therefore to the cost of
electricity."

spokesman for the governor, said.

"without substance."

Because Memories Fade
State government decides
to set criteria for dump site
From Associated Press reports
ASHEVILLE - Urged by
Gov. Jim Martin to plan for safe
nuclear waste disposal, the North
Carolina Council of State voted
Tuesday to spend $100,000 to
develop site selection criteria for
a low-level radioactive waste
dump.
"The responsibility is ours and
we need to move forward," Mar
tin told council members at their
monthly meeting.
North Carolina was chosen this
past summer by the eight-state
Southeast Compact Commission
to handle disposal of low-level
nuclear waste for the region, a
decision being fought by many
groups within the state.
But even if North Carolina
decides to leave the compact, the
state has its own nuclear waste
to dispose of, Martin said.
The compact provided funds
for site selection and develop
ment, but those funds could be
placed in escrow while state
money is used instead, so North
Carolina won't be obligated to
stay in the compact, he said.

uThe advisory board of the insti

Michael Altfillisch, a graduate
student in political science, will give
the talk on Peru. He received the

River, which contained from 100

"As far as the actual impact on

Italy, Libya exchange prisoners
ROME In a secret overnight
swap, Italy freed three Libyan
prisoners in exchange for four
Italians, including two accused of
involvement in a coup attempt
against Libyan leader Col.
Moammar Gadhafi, officials said
Tuesday.
One of the Libyans was con
victed of killing a fellow Libyan
in Italy, and two were convicted
of attempting to kill a Libyan
businessman.
The exchange was announced
by the Foreign Ministry after the
Italians arrived home on an
international Red Cross plane.
The deal climaxed negotiations
that apparently started at least
two years ago.
chairman of the state Democratic
Party said in a speech to about 40
people at a Young Democrats meet
ing in the Student Union Tuesday
night.
"The opposition is a slick, well
oiled machine, a well-funded
machine," Jim Van Hecke said. "The
key is organization and getting out
the vote. We have the ability to
return some semblance of reason to
the United States Senate." .
Van Hecke said the Democrats
can take control of the U.S. Senate
by winning four seats.
"We have a responsibility to turn
that Senate around," he said. "It
needs to happen for North Carolina.
It needs to happen for the country."
Van Hecke said Democrats lost
four seats in 1984 by 2 percent or
less of the vote.
"That was a year when we had
a republican landslide, when Reagan
topped the ticket," he said.
He said President Reagan's visit
to Raleigh today to campaign for
Sen. Jim Broyhill would not have
a profound effect on the election.
"Reagan is a very popular pres
ident, but Reagan has some very
unpopular policies," he said. "Rea
gan has created some terrible prob
lems. When he comes here, he won't
go to visit the unemployed textile
workers or the farmers who are out
farming dust.
"An appearance by the president
can mean one or two percentage
points. It gave Broyhill some
momentum this summer when Rea
gan came to Greensboro ... If the
race stays close, the president may
be back a third time."
Van Hecke said the Republican
campaign for the N.C. Supreme
Court chief justice race has been
distorted and has consisted of
labeling the candidates.
"It's a campaign effort that
deceives rather than informs," he
said. "We dont need a conservative
court. We don't need a liberal court.
We need an impartial court with
judicial ability."
