CCNC Endorses State Legislation
The Conservation Council o£
North Carolina (CCNC) is an ac
tive organization dedicated to im
proving the environment.
This year CCNC is endorsing
' many pieces of state environ
mental legislation, among which
are a tax on non-returnable bot
tles, grants or matching funds for
local waste treatment, and a state
environmental act similar to the
national act. CCNC also favors
action on population planning and
a broadening of the powers of
the Wildlife Resources Commis
sion.
CCNC has led the fight against
commercial development of Bald
Head Island, arguing that the
beauty of the island would be
spoiled and the balance of nature
upset.
CCNC has also been involved
in the New Hope Dam contro
versy. Its incluence and the threat
of lawsuit forced the Army Corps
of Engineers to file an environ
mental impact statement (a state
ment describing the dam’s effect
on the surrounding area).
Presently the organization is
trying to prevent highway con
struction through Joyce Kilmer
Forest. It is proposing an alter
nate route which would bypass
the forest.
CCNC is also involved in nation
al affairs, and recently sent a
telegram to President Nixon which
stated its opposition to the firing
of Walter Hickel as Secretary of
the Interior.

Twelve Artists
Get Gold Keys
Twelve artists from Grimsley
High School were recently award
ed gold keys in the local Scho
lastic Art Awards competition
sponsored by WFMY-TV for ex
cellence in achievement.
“We at Grimsley won more gold
keys than any other high school
in North Carolina,’’ said Mrs.
Richardson, art teacher at Grims
ley. “Only one hundred were
awarded in our state, fifty-five
of which were for junior high
students. So we actually won
about one-third of them.”
The schools with the second
highest number of winners were
North Carolina School of the
Arts, and R. J. Reynolds High
School, both of which came away
with eight. Dudley was the only
other high school in the city to
have placed a winner.
There is also a second level of
competition in the Art Awards
this year. Outstanding entries in
this category receive certificates
of merit, but can go no further.
Grimsley did not place in this
category.
goals? Membership involvement is
stressed. Each month a news
letter, The Carolina Conservation
ist, Is printed. It tells of all ac
tivities and suggests ways each in
dividual can help. It urges letter
writing campaigns to officials in
all levels of government. The
Conservationist also reports who
voted how on environmental legis
lation.
This year’s president of the
CCNC is James C. Wallace, social
studies professor at State. Wallace
has pledged a strong legal pro
gram to fight ecological problems
in the courts.
Membership in the CCNC has
steadily increased. High school
students can now join for only
$1.00. Interested students should

Stang’s Multi-Phasic
Response Proposal
A former Grimsley student,
Howard Stang of the class of 1970,
recently exhibited his interest in
the school by presenting a sug
gestion to the Student Council.
Howard, a freshman at the Uni
versity of North Carolina at Chap
el Hill, appeared before the
council to present his plan, en
titled “Stang’s Multi-Phasic Re
sponse Proposal to the Grimsley
Student Council.”
The plan goes as follows:
I. Recreational
A. More small dances to help
finance the program of the coun
cil.
B. A school dance in the main
hallway of the school.
C. A recreational project to
raise the bulk of money for pro
gram.
D. Council can make some more
suggestions—they’re good at that.
II. Athletic
A. Open school gym to Grims
ley students only—one night a
week for basketball, whiffle ball^
etc. to be coordinated by an adutl
or a coach who will be compen
sated for their time.
B. Petition Coach Jamieson to
allot one coach to handle and su
pervise an intramural program
either at night or during the
afternoons depending on the sea
son and the weather. (Athletic
staff’s purpose is to provide ath
letics for the entire student body
not just the super-athlete).
III. Culture and Educational
A. Film of the week to be shown
one night each week at school to
be supervised by a willing teach
er—who will be paid. Films will
cover all areas of interest from
ACC Highlights to the Black
America Series. Maximum pub
licity for good attendance.
B. A monthly rap session at
school with announced topics;
preferably with Mr. Glenn pre
sent to field questions and an
swers.
C. A schoolwide project such as
the Care project done a couple
of years ago; example: build a
school in an underdeveloped
country.
D. Free pamphlets: a committee
to send away on pamphlets on
everything that might interest
high school students. Locate stand
in main hall.
E.A weekly summary of bills
being presented to Congress and
State legislatures along with ad
dresses of representatives to whon>
one may write. Voice student
opinion: to teach government to
students.
Howard, who was a very ac
tive student at Grimsley during
his three years here, hopes to im
prove the school with these sug
gestions. He admits that all ideas'
are neither good nor bad, but
hopes that with these suggestions
maybe parts can be used toward
the goal of improving the school.
Student Council would appreci
ate the students’ suggestions and
criticisms of these ideas and any
other helpful suggestions. Stu-*
dents may discuss the ideas with
home room representatives or any
members of council.
