Although the Pentagon budget rose during President Reagan's first term, the current $300 billion is not likely to rise much more. "Overly optimistic projections of defense budget growth coupled with relatively larger growth of internal fixed accounts and public pressure against increased defense spending will result in a decrease of $250 billion to $400 billion for defense in the next five years from what the military had assumed," the report said. benefit food for.

A youth hostel is a safe, inexpen sive, overnight accomodation that makes travel possible for people who would not be able to afford to travel otherwise, Grant said. "It is a great way to explore without paying too much and have a safe and adventurous experience, especially if you are young," she said. There is usually a three-day limit to the stay, and the cost in North Carolina is between $4 and $7 a night, she said.

"There's not as much cooperation between executive governments and Congress now as there should be," Petersen said. The government also does not do well with long-term planning, Petersen said. And there is a new, changing threat to the United States, the study said. "Due to Mr. Gorbachev's initia tives, the threat appears to have decreased," the report said. "At the same time, we find ourselves increas a night. There are five levels of hostels, Grant said, ranging from the most primitive to the superior. The super ior hostel includes a full service area, a kitchen and a family room, she said. Most hostels in North Carolina have family rooms. In 1909, when hostels were first formed, they were originally just for youth, but now they are for all ages, Grant said. The idea for a youth hostel in the Triangle started in the early 70s when Sam Wiley, a Duke Divinity School student, encouraged the national ram hopes to collect 23 tons of recyclables per month, and as a result, cut down on the amount of materials that go into the Orange County Landfill on Eubanks Road. According to projections, the landfill is scheduled to fill up by 1997. T -J . - ( 4 OFFICIAL SHOE OF THE CENTER FOR METEORITE RESEARCH.

"This will be an era when the United States doesn't play quite the leadership role it did in the past," Petersen said. "There will be a diffusion of power in every aspect, whether militarily or economically." The United States is now in a transition period, and should use this time to better prepare for the new era in 10 to 12 years, he said. "This new era will be a new time, American Youth Hostels (AYH) group to examine the feasibility of a hostel in the Triangle, Grant said. In 1982, the AYH worked with the N.C. Trails Association, the N.C. State Parks Division and the Council of Churches to develop a statewide hostel plan, Grant said. The local chapter of AYH was started in 1986. A feasibility study with the State Parks Division is still underway in the search for a possible site for the first Triangle youth hostel, she said. Members of the hostel develop ment committee of the local chapter conduct the feasibility studies for potential sites, Grant said. The committee has conducted eight stu dies so far. Finding the right site is the hardest part of the development of the hostel, she said. Factors such as access to public transportation and proper zoning are considered. The AYH has restrictions concern ing the number of square feet and the number of shower facilities the site must have per person, she said. "So we cannot just choose any building," Grant said.

"Part of the philosophy of the Democratic party is that we must be prepared for change and face the future," said Margaret Lawton, press secretary for the N.C. Democratic Party. "If anything, we believe this report strengthens (the Republican Party's) belief in peace through strength," said Tom Ballus at the N.C. Republican Headquarters. Another consideration is budget, Grant said. The first Triangle youth hostel could be established with about $150,000. The council also has the capability to apply for grants and might expect to receive matching coporate funds. Another source of revenue for the council is the percentage of funds they receive from the sale of AYH mem bership passes. In order to stay in a hostel, travelers must purchase a membership pass, Grant said, and the Council receives a percentage of the funds from the passes sold in a nine county area, including the Triangle. Prices for the memberships are: B $20 for an adult annual membership. B $10 for a senior citizen or youth under 17 years old annual membership. B $30 for a family annual membership B $30 for a two-year adult membership B $200 for a lifetime membership. The Triangle has about 600 members, an increase of about 66 percent from last year, Grant said. 0
