elance PIRG Study Released The North Carolina FuWic Intffest Research Groi«) (NC PIRG) recently released a major study whi* details the S and benefits of state Idation that would place a minimum deposit upon dl beverage contai^rs. The eport, entitle “Wrowaway Containers: No-Return for North Carolina”, concludes that Minimum Deposit Law would have “significant benefits for North Carolina. “The excessive use of throwaway containers by bot tle and can manufacturers has risen sharply in the last ten years,” said Finis Williams, a Duke University senior and co-author of the report. “We found that the per capita con sumption of beverage con tainers has grown 164 percent in the decade from 1959-1969, but the actual consumption of beverages increased by only 29percent. ^ ^ . The NC PIRG study examines the costs and benefits to the state from the passage of a Minimum Deposit Law, and summarizes the economic, aivircnmental, and energy consequences as follows: -a two-thirds reduction in beverage container litter, which makes up about one- half of the state’s total litter problem; -a reduction of 5-8 percent in the amount of solid waste whidi must be collected and disposed of, and a correspon ding reductiwi in costs to the state of $500,000-$800,000 each year; -a reduced energy demand and use of natural resources, because returnable containers consume (Hily one-third to one- quarter the enrgy required by metal cans and throwaway glass containers; we estimate the resulting energy savings as equivalent to heating the homes of over 100,000 persons per year; -no legal barriers exist to enactment of such l^dation; -mixed economic impacts, including a potaitial gain of more than 600 new jobs for the state, together with increased production or handling costs for some parts of the beverage and container industry; overall increased costs to the industry are estimated to be one to two cents per container the first year, and these costs are expected to decline after the first yeaLegislatiwivas in troduced in both the N.C. House and Senate recently Representative Charles Webb and Senator Charles Vickery. We urge its prompt passage by the Gaieral Assembly.” BOB'S JEWEL SHOP ^he Place to 90 for all your Jewe/ry needs Main St. College Plaza Day Camp The Scotland County Enrichment Day Camp vrill be held at St. Andrews for a five week period during June and July, 1975.

As the cyclists pile up on the shore, another contestant will pit his skill against the fi^, eels and unknown horrors of Lake Ansley Moore, swim ming across to the boat lan ding at the St. Andrews Beach and Yacht Club near New Meek. As he emerges from the wata- and begins to pull off the greai slime he will have ^ac cumulated in transit, two more players will begin scooping water out of the lake at the landing and tran sporting it to a large and quite empty trashcan at WilmingtMi Hall which must be filled. Suc cessful dispatching of this problem will enable the team to move on the Spoon in Mouth (as opposed to foot) Contest, in which people must put a spoon in their mouth, balance an egg on it, and walk it down the ramp at The Wall to a lam ppost at the far end of the lake front side of the Collie Unirai, vdiere they may turn in their egg, throw it at the officials, or eat it. Two sacks sewn togethw comprise the equipment in the Two Sack Jump/Fall, which goes from the end of the Egg Walk to point on the College Union service road. There a male team member must ride a female member piggyback around the back of historic Old Meek and back to the front of the College Union Building, where the race ends and the survivors repair to lunch.

The president’s schedule this week and next calls for over a dozen meetings with departments of the faculty and students as well as part of his “orientation” to the college.
