WH'
jjis tournament was begun
L lear in an effort to raise
Uer for the future needs of
Iff Cieerkadei-s and to give
jji school cheerleaders a
10 meet others in sur-
counties. Although it
Lwiprofitable, it was a fun
Ixfemonforall, and it was an
jr^rwiity to attract high
to ACC.
I Ik ACC Cheerleaders hope
hutiismll become a tradition
ji tore years and that more
and more high schools will take
part. It is a great opportunity for
ACC to attract prospective stud
ents.
The cost of the tournament for
ACC students will be fifty cents.
This may seem like a large sum
compared to the usual present
ation of an I.D., but it is not a
college function, so this charge
is necessary. Also, there is the
cost of the trophies to consider.
For this small sum, one’s at
tending will be entertained by
good cheerleading and a fine
gymnastics show by one of our
own students. Please show your
support and attend on Friday,
March 14 at 7:00 p.m.

Totporrow will be the last day
of the Red Cross Bloodmobile
for the ACC campus this year.
The Bloodmobile, which is
being sponsored by the Junior
Class and Sigma Phi Epsilon,
will wind up its ACC visit
tomorrow after collecting blood
from much-needed donors be
tween 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Giving blood is not really very
hard to do. All it takes is a little
time, time which could become
important for someone else
later.
Blood collected during a visit
of the Bloodmobile is used iiot
only to save lives by
being given to those who need
Arts Festival Continues
CCA Holds Worship
Ilie Campus Christian Asso-
aionwillbe holding a worship
in Howard Chapel at
J p.m.. on Tuesday, March
11, 1980. All students and
faculty are invited to attend.
Hurry and finish your supper
and come on over to join in this
service.
After getting off to a slow
start due to last week’s snow,
ACC’s Art Festival will continue
this week with a recital of
contemporary chamber music
and Part 111 of the series on
American Art Films.
The recital, which will be held
this Thursday, March 13, be
ginning at 11:00 a.m., in the
Music Building, will be per
formed by ACC music majors.
The films, which will feature
“Claes Oldenburg,” and
“Andrew Wyeth,” will also be
on Thursday, from 7-8 p.m., in
the Art Building.
All events are open to the
entire public at no admission
charge.
The festival will continue
through March 27, and will
include lectures, demonstra
tions and concerts by area
groups as well as the film series
which will be ending with this
Thursday night's films
it, bul also by being used in
vital research. Less than a pint
is taken from the donor, and it
does not take the btxiy long to
replenish that amount.
There will be credit given to
those organizations which pro
vide the greatest number of
donors. Those clubs and organ
izations which show an ex
tremely large proportion of
donors will rcceive special re
cognition from the Red Cross
and the sponsoring organ
izations.
It is hoped that Atlantic
Christian will do itself proud by
coming out and helping to save
lives by giving of a little of its
time and blood for the benefit of
others.
See you in line.
Power; How?
Natural Steam as a Resource:
Geothermal Energy
by Joel Brame
totlietmai sources, on a
worldscale, “could yield double
ike energy' represented by the
wld's total deposit of oil, gas,
ud coal,” speculates Tsvi
Heidav, a United Nations ex-
wt in resources (Oliver S.
hen, Natural Resource
wenation(Macmillan Pub-
Ag Co., Inc., New York,
HI5), p. 578). If this is true, this
3«ild be an alternate energy
*ce worth developing,
itoihemial energy is derived
ioni hot water deep beneath the
ati's surface. Volcanic activi-
superheats underground
•atet trapped in porous rock
®ta, Wells are drilled into
»esteam reservoirs, and the
seam issues up the well shaft,
tts steam can then be utilized
t? a conventional steam-electric
?lait to produce electricity
Resource Conservation
U77). There are currently two
I ®en demonstration plants in
^ western United States all of
’feh are funded by the federal
government (“Alternative
Energies at a Glance,” World
Research INK (January,
February, March, 1980), p. 8).
The first use of geothermal
energy was at Lardello, Italy in
1904. Other geothermal plants
have been set up in New
Zealand, Japan, Mexico,
Iceland, and the Soviet Union.
The world’s third largest geo
thermal project is located at the
Geysers, located 75 miles north
of San Fransico, where produc
tion began in 1960 (Natural
Resource Conservation, p. 578).
Geothermal power is cheap
and pollution free. Capital in
vestment is minimal, costing
only $150 per kilowatt, com
pared to $250 for a coal-fired
plant and $500 for a nuclear
power station (1975 estimates).
However, there are some draw
backs. For one, minerals dis
solved in the steam tend to foul
up machinery. Also, the power
it generates can only be utilized
in the proximity of the specific
reservoir (World Research INK,
P-
8). There is only negligible
amounts of geothermal energy
available in populous eastern
United States. Furthermore,
when the steam is released from
the area, it naturally reduces the
amount of heat in an area, which
would disturb the environment
in the resource area
(“Geothermal Leasing: The Day
Old Faithful Goes Dry?”,
National Parks and Conserva
tion Magazine (September,
1979), p. 20).
Estimates are that by the end of
the century 395 million kilowatts
could be supplied by geothermal
sources-more electric power
than is produced by all the
generating capacity of the
United States today (Natural
Resource Conservation, p. 578).
If handled properly, geothermal
energy could be a major step
toward self-sufficiency and re
lief of the ever present energy
crisis.

Due to last v/eek’s heavy snowfall, pictures of Stage and Scripts
production of “The Merchant of Venice” were forced to be
eliminated from last >veek’s issue of the Collegiate. The Collegiate
apologizes and congratulates the cast of “The Merchant of
Venice” for a job well done.
