Drunken Driver
Arrests Increase
Raleigh. ..Patrol Com
mander, Colonel E. W. Jones,
today announced that 1974 was
the third highest year in the
Patrol's history in the number
of drunken drivers arrested.
He said that 37,942, motorists
were charged with this offense
in 1974. This was 1,586 more
than were charged in 1973. Of
those arrested, he said 84
percent were administered a
breath test to determine the
alcohol content of the blood
and 11. C percent willfully
refused the test. This was an
improvement over 1973 when
15 JS percent of those arrested
refused the test. He said there
was no noticeable change in
the Patrol's court experiences
as approximately 30 percent
of the cases were nol-prossed
or adjudged not guilty each
year. In 1974, 63.6 percent
were found guilty as charged
as compared to 63.8 percent in
1973. Colonel Jones said with
the new law making it
unlawful for any person to
drive with a blood-alcohol
level of 0.10 percent or more,

he looks for North Carolina's
conviction rate to improve
substantially in 1975.
Colonel Jones said, "fewer
people were killed in traffic
accidents in 1974 than in any
year since 1963. 1,558 persons
lost their lives on North
Carolina's highways last year.
This was a reduction of 17.7
percent compared to 1973
when 1,892 persons were
killed." Many factors con
tributed to this reduction,
Colonel Jones said, "but it was
very gratifying to see the
majority of motorists
exemplifying safety
awareness in their driving
habits.

"The continuing education
program is one segment of our
concept of the college'! ser
vice to the region," com
mented Dr. John M. Hough,
recently named director of
Mars Hill College's new
continuing education
program.
"We have long used the
people and natural resources
of the area in our academic
programs, and we are con
cerned with what the college
can return to the area," he
continued.
The efforts Mars Hill is
making are in the areas of
preserving the heritage and
natural resources of the
region, establishing an Ap
palachian curriculum and
museum, and making the
college's resources available
to the area.
" Our most important
concern in establishing the
continuing education
program," noted Dr. Richard
Hoffman, vice-president for
academic affairs, "is to
reduce the barriers to lear
ning for adults. For example,
although traditional evening
classes will be offered, in
ternships, credit by
examination, and reflective
life experience also earn the
participant academic credit."
Its new competence-based
curriculum also allows the
college flexibility to expand its
resources in ways never
before open. Students enrolled
in the continuing education
program can be awarded the
same bachelor's degree that is
offered to the full-time
student. An Associate in Arts
degree and a certificate
program will also be available
to students who meet specific
competencies.
These competencies will be
related to career interests of
adults, leadership training,
and human development. The
college will work closely with
other institutions, such as
technical schools, in coor
dinating course offerings.
Industries, businesses, and
churches will be utilized to
support the program in terms
of facilities, released time for
'adults, and financial aid.
In an effort to reduce one
major barrier to adults costs
have been minimized. Each
credit hour will cost the adult
student $50; however, since
that may be prohibitive to
some, a $25 per credit hour
scholarship will be given to
each continuing education
student.
In addition, any student who
already possesses certain
skills may earn credit by
examination.
Officials of the college
recognize that experience is
an effective teacher and that
many adults have gained
valuable knowledge and skill
can be documented and
assessed in terms of academic
standards, the continuing
education student will receive
academic recognition for
them.
In keeping with recognizing
reflective life experiences,
reducing charges and giving
academic credit by
examination, the college is
removing another major
barrier which has kept many
adults from additional
education in the past That is
the matter of admission fee
and additional financial aid
will be available to those who
qualify.
Initially the program will
concentrate on the four-county
area of Madison, Buncombe,
Mitchell, and Yancey. The
following courses will be
RALEIGH REPORT
House committee align
ments being made by Speaker
James Green may have
considerable impact on State
spending during the next year.
He has appointed a Base
Budget Committee which is
charged with the task of
examining and evaluating old
programs being financed by
the State, with the intent of
determining if they are still
worthwhile, if they have
become too big and too ex
pensive, and, in the event they
are worth keeping, if some
economies can be made.
Programs or services are
often started because they are
needed at a given time. They
may have served their pur
pose, but people employed by
such agencies, with the intent
of preserving their jobs, never
recommend that they be
discontinued.
The Base Budget Com
mittee will have full power to
recommend economies or the
discontinuation of programs,
and will have adequate power
to see that its recom
mendations are carried out.
This committee will be
headed by Representative
BQly tVatkins, . who, as . a
member of the Advisory
Budget Commission, already
knows many areas where
economies can be made.
Appointment of House
committees should be com
pleted by the end of this week.
Speaker Green is selecting
his committees with greater
care than they have beei.
selected in the past He is
trying to place House mem-b-s
on committees where
they can function best and
where there will be the least
conflict of interest.

houses and public reactions to
the proposed expenditures are
already coming in
Teachers are not happy with
the recommended five percent
pay increase for the first year
of the biennium, with no in
crease recommended for the
second year.
Only modest increases in
expenditures are recom
mended for the first year of
the biennium. These are
$3,382,000,000 for 1975-76 or
five percent more than the
1974-75 appropriation; for the
second year recommended
expenditures are
$3,509,000,000, or 3.7 percent
more than in 1975-76.
Inflationary increases in
costs are not reflected in the
new proposed budget: costs
are calculated on the level of
prices that prevailed when the
budget was completed several
months ago. Prior to final
adoption of the budget, it will
be necessary to adjust costs
upward and perhaps to lower
revenue estimates.
The full impact of the
recession on revenues cannot
be fully known until after
April 15, when hll income tax
returns are in vd the amount
of tax refunds are known.
There was general disap
pointment with Governor
Holshouser's State of the State
Address.
He made no real suggestions
about solutions to the State's
problems; he gave no new
direction to State Govern
ment. Most attention was directed
to his recommendation that
the tax on food be repealed,
effective July 1, 1976, eighteen
months from now and six
months ' fore a new governor
ill take office. This
recommendation, being so far
away, would have little effect
on revenues during
Holshouser's term but could

problems for the next
governor.
Members of the General
Assembly are being flooded
with messages protesting
increases in electric rates.
Many of the messages are
bitter, indicating that power
companies are rapidly "losing
face" with the consumer.
Many people believe they
are being "fleeced" by the
power companies, that, while
individuals are making
sacrifices in accord with the
times, power companies are
going ahead as usual, passing
all costs on to the consumer.
We in the General Assembly
cannot ignore these com
plaints; nor can we be sure
what we can do about them.
The General Assembly
granted monopolies to power
and telephone companies and
it created the Utility Com
mission to control rates. So we
must be concerned and we
must try to find out what is
happening.
A public hearing before the
Economy Committee, of
which Uston Ramsey and I
are members, will be held
next Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 10
a.m. in the Legislative
Building. The power com
panies have been asked to
justify their recent rate in
creases. The Utility Com
mission will explain the rate
making process, and the
consumer will explain the
impact of higher rates on the
home owner and the
manufacturer.
Additional packages of
legislation are being prepared
to try to deal with the
problem.
A court challenge,
questioning the right of power
companies to use the add-on
fuel charge, has been started
by the Atttorney General.
For the present we will Just
have to wait and see what's
going to happen.
