. When Nikita Kruschev
IH'omised to bury us, he
meant figuratively as he later
explained, that the com
munistic economic system
would outlast the capitalistic
system. We, however, are
literally burying ourselves in
our own trash. Thus, we have
one of the reasons for
Operation Recycle: To keep
from burying ourselves. Tte
other being that if we do not,
we face the possibility of
depleting our natural
resources.
America, as it now stands,
is dumping a fantastic
amount of waste products
virtually anywhere there is a
place to stash another can.
The normal state of affairs
for an affluent society such as
ours you say? Maybe. But
does that make it right?
Never. Because trash is going
to kill us outright if it does not
choke us to death first. Each
year we discard 46 billion
cans, 48 billion bottles, 100
million tires, and 6 million
cars. The cost for picking up
this trash is approximately
7.2 billion dollars, and the
cost is increasing at the rate
of 20 per cent yearly. That in
itself is ample reason to
recycle. Even if the
present method of trash
disposable were not
outrageous in price, we would
have to come up with an
alternate method in order to
keep from totally depleting
our natural resources.
We all know that metal can
be melted down and recast to
produce something useful.
Were you aware that the
cellulose in wastepaper can
be Ix'oken down into sugar to
imake industrial alcohol,
citric acid, and butanol? The
processing of 250 tons of trash
(which contains ao-
proximately 60 per cent
paper) in this method would
profit $500,000.00 annually.
An Operation Recycle is
now in effect in Columbus
County, Recyclable products
include paper, cardboard
(corragated), bottles (green
and clear), and aluniinum.
Chadboum recycle center is
located in Jackson Dept.
Store and is opened on
Tuesdays. The Whiteville
center will be located behind
the Ford Co. on the 701 by
pass when a building is
constructed.

RAMS HORN
MEMORANDUM
TO: STUDENT BODY OF
S.C.C.
FROM: ARMANDO de
LEON III
SUBJECT: YEARBOOKS
As editor of the new
yearbook, I feel that many of
the questions should be
cleared up concerning last
years annual.
The 1971-72 yearbook was a
large undertaking for a
school thathad not previously
printed an annual. For a
moment, pause and consider
what goes into making a
yearbook. First, a publishing
comoanv must be selected,
"nien the staff must decide
how many yearbooks to buy
(in other words, how far to
stick our necks out). Ads
must be sold to help pay the
publishing expenses. ^ much
for the NORMAL aspects of
putting together an annual.
Because S.C.C. is a
nonresident college, the
problem is compounded. It is
extremely difficult to
assemble thirty commuters
together week after week,
month after month to
assembly a publication, a
problem not so different than
that of the drama club, the
sports dept., or any other
group that tries to meet after
the normal school hours. Our
problem, however, is more
prounced, because our
product comes out only once
a year; therefore, our
, members do not see the result
of their labor UNTIL the end
of one calendar year.
As could be expected, the
staff of last year’s yearbook
dwindled until a very small
nucleous was left with the
large ordeal of putting the
annual together. This staff,
by and large, had no support
from the student body. It is
small wonder that the annual
is late, but what is even more
amazing is that the annual is
going to come out at all. On
that note, good news. The
publishing company assures
us that the final copies will be
sent within two to three
weeks, no later than the
Thanksgiving holidays.
So much for the epitaph.
Now for the moment you’ve
all been waiting for, a few
words about this year’s an
nual. The forth-coming
yearbook will include graphic
services, overlays, reverses,
overprints, special halftones,
screens, COLOR (can you dig
that?), a sixteen page color
toned technique, miles
and miles of black and white
pictures guaranteed to make
your heart beat faster, and
our own special innovationf
No longer will you be
required to come dressed in
your suit to sit down
before Uie camera amidst
glaring lights to have your
ever-loving self imprinted for
eternity in the graphic art-
s.(Lick down your hair kid,
it’s for posterity). NO! We
are trucking round taking
pictures of you mortal types
in your ever-natural. More
work for us, but a better
annual for all.
Therefore, we the staff are
looking forward to putting
this masterpiece before you
ON TIME. We are always
open to student comments,
questions, or criticism.
