Wednesday. October 5. 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Billingsley says Cane Creek surveying to begin Oct. 17 On nuclear weapons Carter pledges limit Surveying of the proposed Cane Creek reservoir will begin Oct. 17, W. Everett Billingsley, executive director of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) said Tuesday. OWASA gained the right to survey the Cane Creek area last week when the N. C. Court of Appeals upheld an injunction forbidding landowners in the proposed reservoir area to ban OWASA surveyors. Members of the Cane Creek Conservation Authority (CCCA) filed the appeal after Superior Court Judge Hamilton Hobgood issued an injunction prohibiting 44 landowners from banning the surveyors. Cjas Ring Orders; Every Wednesday ! Afternoon ! 2 to 5 p.m. at your STUDENT STORE An Ashebo'ro surveying company said Monday that surveying of the area would begin this week, but two OWASA officials said the survey has been delayed for various reasons. "We (OWASA) will not begin surveying this week because of practical matters," OWASA attorney Claude V. Jones said Tuesday. "We need more detailed instructions to the surveyors." W. H. Cleveland, assistant executive director of OWASA, said former commitments made by the survey crews caused them to be unavailable until Oct. 17. Although the survey is scheduled to begin Oct. 17, the CCCA has not yet given up the fight. Members unanimously voted Monday night to appeal the decision to the N.C. Supreme Court. The CCCA also indicated it might ask for a stay of surveying until the case is reviewed. CCCA attorneys George Hunt and Wayne Abernathy were unavailable for comment Tuesday. But Jones said OWASA has the legal right to begin surveying the area immediately.

Villi In the numbers game of mileage claims, 30 is a pretty good figure. For a car. But figures can be misleading. When it comes to saving energy, the kind of trans portation that gets the most people the farthest on the least fuel is the real winner in the mileage game, And when you start comparing miles per gallon per person, it's hard to beat the 250 mpgpp of a full bus.. Sans fUmey Next to fuel, repairs are your biggest car expense. Almost nothing you do with a car will bring on problems more than driving Step tap to a around town. An around town car can go through parts like candy, and wear out completely in a few years. Buses don't do that. They aren't made to trade in every two years or to junk after 100,000 miles. Buses are simple, efficient machines that last a long time. Some buses go millions of miles without major wear. Saim Yourself Money isn't the only thing you spend when you drive a car. You also spend time. Your time. Driving. Sure, driving can be fun. But not when you're fighting traffic or hunting for a parking, place. So why spend your time driving when you can use it so much more sensibly on a bus? On a bus you can read, do homework, talk, snooze or watch the cars struggle in the four wheel world below. Face it. The bus is a better trip. CHAPEL HILL COMMUNITY TRANSIT It's the way to go. ft m I6"S UJGV G SGU3. drop: Continued (torn page 1 . Students who might consider transferring to N.C.

By United Press International President Carter pledged luesdav that the United States w ill never use nuclear weapons except in self-defense and offered to cut the U.S. nuclear arsenal by 50 percent if the Russians will do the same. In an address to the U.N. General Assembly, the President said a significant arms limitation agreement is "w ithin sight." "My country believes that the time has come to end all explosions of nuclear devices, no matter what their claimed justification peaceful or military," Carter said. In his speech beginning a two-day round of talks and consultations, the President also assumed a direct role in the Middle Fast negotiations, appealing for "good faith negotiations" on both sides and reaffirming the U.S. commitment to Israel's security. Later he met in separate private meetings with the Israeli and Igyptian foreign ministers. In his speech. Carter said, "In Strategic Arms Limitation Talks we and the Soviets are within sight of a significant agreement on limiting the total number of weapons and in ' restricting certain categories of weapons of special concern to each of us. "We can also start the crucial process of curbing the relentless march ol technological development which makes nuclear weapons even more difficult to control." Gas deregulation passes WASIIINGION In a nunc President Carter termed "an injustice to the woiking people." the Senate voted 50 to 46 Tuesday to phase out federal price controls on natural gas and sent the proposal to the House. It was the most bitter defeat Carter has suffered in the Senate on his energy progi am thus far, and he immediately issued a statement saying he will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. Under the measure offered by Sens. James Pearson, R-Kan.. and Lloyd Hentsen. D-Tex. federal controls on new natural gas would be eliminated in two years and in the meantime the price ceiling would be hiked from $1.46 per thousand cubic feet to $2.48. The bill also would eliminate controls on offshore gas in five years. Carter, who favors somewhat higher prices for gas but wants to extend federal controls over them into the intrastate market, termed the Senate measure "unacceptable" and vowed "I w ill not sign an unfair bill. "It is an injustice to the working people of this country." Carter said. "I hope and expect a reasonable bill will emerge from the conference committee and will be approved by both houses." he said. "I look forward to signing legislation that provides adequate production incentives while protecting the interests of American consumers." Canal treaty confusion WASIIINGION I he State Department said Tuesday it may seek "turther clarification" ot the Panama Canal agi cement in light ol a Panamanian negotiator's statement rejecting permanent U.S. rights to intervene.
