The most effective way to
^'ght the placement of a
l^igh-level nuclear waste dump
in North Carolina is to limit
^^^rrent discussions to tech
nical objections, N.C. Gov.
Jim Martin said last Thurs
day .
’'We must avoid both extreme
apathy and panic,” said Mar
tin, who added that he be
lieves neither of the two
^orth Carolina sites under
Consideration will be chosen.
At a press conference held
UNCA, Martin accepted a
Resolution recently adopted
the UNC Association of
Student Governments (UNCASG)
opposing the dump.
He also met for half an
hour with the Chancellor’s
Colloquium, briefly toured

placement of a nuclear dump
site in North Carolina for
scientific and sociological
reasons, a position Martin
recommends as the most ef
fective way to send a signal
to the Departmait of Energy-
the campus and held a town
meeting in the Asheville City
Council chambers later the
same day.
’•We need to deal with a
narrow issue, which is the
suitability of the two rock
formations for the technology
proposed,” said Martin. "I
have concluded with a great
deal of confidence that these
rock formations are not ap
propriate,” he said.
Last month, the U.S. De
partment of Energy picked 12
eastern U.S. rock formations
as potential sites to store
high-level nuclear waste for
more than 10,000 years. Two
of the sites are in North
Carolina: the Rolesville Plu-
ton, east of Raleigh, and the
Elk River formation, north
west of Asheville.

Few students file
By Scott Luckadoo
The deadline for filing for
Student Government Associa
tion offices ended Monday
with nominees for only one
division of the student se
nate offices filled.
Two nominees filled the re
sident senator positions in
the senate, according to Jack
Gardin, elections commission
er.
Gardin said no one entered
the race for the two commuter
senator positions.
For both the three sopho
more and senior senator of
fices, two nominees filed
before the deadline.
One candidate filed for one
of the iunior senator posi
tions.
According to the UNCA SGA
constitution, the new SGA
president will appoint the
remaining six vacancies on
the senate.
Paul Finnschild, who filed
for the office of treasurer,
will run unopposed in the el
ection.
Two of the candidates for
vice president will run toge
ther on^a ticket with two of
the presidential candidates.
Monica Bonikowski will run
with Ken Hardy, while Athena
Fox will campaign with Billy
Smith.
The remaining two candi
dates for president are Steve
Magoon and Ken Baldwin.
Gardin said that although
there are two pairs of candi
dates running together, vo
ters do not have to vote for
both but can choose whomever
they wish from each category.
The candidates for presi-.
dent and vice president pre
sented speeches in the cafe
teria Tuesday.
Each candidate said they
wished to continue the poli
cies and programs of the cur
rent SGA while implementing
some of their own.
Magoon said he would try to
establish a greater relation
ship with the administration
if elected.
Hardy said he would like to
see ”a bus route for commut
ers around campus" to allevi
ate the parking problem.
Magoon and Smith both said
the parking problem needed
more consideration with co
operation between the stu
dents and the administration.
Baldwin said he needed to
take only the six hour course
load required for the presi
dential office for both se
mesters next year.
