e study reveals that, even though the nuclear plant cost less to
ope(Bte, a coal power plant requires a much smaller investment to
met now.
The study also, enjpbasizes that the purchase of additional energy
d be more econpmical than operating Shearon Harris,
le focus of the-report is economical. It says that environmental
ideration is importwt but that “a careful economic analysis is
’onT^portant input into an informed discussion of the options we
face.”
^lliams was cited in The Daily Times-News as saying that, “we
[don’t think this is a definitive study. We’ve raised some issues and
some questions. What we want is for the powers that be to see
lese questions and look at them in more depth.”
(lliams and Cottrell said in their study that the savings gained
om abandoning Shearon Harris would include the repayment of in-
ir*- for money already invested in the plant.
The report also said that CP&L could provide customers with an
itive to conserve energy by encouraging consumers to buy more
iffHient appliances. This study takes into consideration only air con
ing, water heating and lighting. Replacing old appliances and
ling those which are more efficient will not only mean lower
K rates for the consumers but will also help to conserve energy.
To further encourage the consumer to buy more expensive, yet ef-
cien: appliances, Cottrell and Williams suggest that CP&L grant a
OO^rcent rebate to customers for the price difference between the
lowjmd high-efficient appliance.
At present, there has been no formal response from Carolina Power

tion will be based on cumulative
GPA, suspension for fall and
spring semester will vary in that
at the end of fall term suspension
will be based soley on fall term
grades while suspension at the
end of the spring term will be bas
ed on cumulative GPA.
At the end of the fall semster,
any student who has a semester
GPA of below 1.00 will be plac
ed on suspension.
At the end of spring semester,
any freshman or sophomore with
a cumulative GPA below 1.60,
any junior with a cumulative
GPA below 1.80 and any senior
with a cumulative GPA below
2.00 will be placed on
suspension.
These guidelines should be
relatively clearer in that a stu
dent’s GPA must increase from
the ft«shman’s first semester 1.00
to 1.60 for beginning sophomore,
to 1.80 for beginning junior to
2.00 for beginning senior.
This step up in GPA is the most
commonly used criteria for col
leges with regard to measuring
academic progress.
