Appeal filed restraining
filling of Jordan Lake
The future of B. F.verett InrHan I !,
remains in question as the Conservation
Council of North Carolina (CCNC) and
the cities of Chapel Hill and Durham
filed an appeal last week at the U.S. 4th
Circuit Court of Appeals to block
construction on the project.
The Circuit Court will either uphold
U.S. Middle District Court Judge
Eugene Gordon's decision to allow the
Army Corps of Engineers to flood the
14,300-acre lake site or send the case to
district court for a new hearing.
Construction on the lake, which is
designed for flood control, water supply
and recreation, has been delayed by
court suits since 1970.
Opponents of the lake contend that
pollutants from the New Hope River
will make the lake unfit as either a water
source or for recreation. Also, the arm
of the lake nearest Chapel Hill will
constitute a public nuisance from its
acute pollution, project foes claim.
The New Hope River is polluted by
inadequately treated wastes from
Durham and Chapel Hill and would
cause high levels of mercury,
phosphorous and nitrogen in the lake,
opponents sav.
The Army Corps of Engineers, which
is building the project, argues that the
pollutant levels in the lake will not be
any greater than those in other state
lakes and water supplies. Also, any odor
or insect problems created by the
pollution in the upper arm of the lake
can be handled by conventional
reservoir management procedures, the
corps contends.
The corps does not plan to close the
dam at the project's south end and flood
the land for another two years. First it
must complete roads and clear the lake
area.
Board votes on education phase-outs
The University of North
Carolina Board of Governors
Friday voted to phase out by July I
next year 46 teacher education
programs at 14 of the system's 16
campuses.
In voting to discontinue the
programs, the governors followed
almost to the letter a study prepared
by Donald J. Stedman, a professor
in the UNC School of Education
and' adopted by the board's
planning committee last month.
Included in the cuts are six
programs at UNC: elementary
education, doctorate program;
special education, bachelor's
program; social foundations,
master's program; health
education, bachelor's program;
business, commerce and
distributive education, master's
program; and school psychology,
intermediate program.
Another 1 15 programs statewide
were slated for re-evaluation.
The report prepared by Stedman
cited the discontinued programs as
unproductive, unnecessarily costly
and weak or low in demand for
graduates.
The programs slated lor
discontinuation at UNC are already
being phased out, a spokesperson
for the UNC School of Education
said earlier this month.
Stedman's study drew the
criticism of the board's newest
member. Kathleen Ross Crosby of
Charlotte, who said she felt that a
disproportionate number of the
cuts were targeted for black
campuses.
Of the 46 programs to be phased
out. 18 are on predominantly black
campuses. Of the 115 programs
scheduled for re-evaluation, 45 are
at predominantly black schools.
William Johnston, the board's
chairperson, emphasized that
Stedman's report contained
nothing that could be interpreted as
an attempt to get any institution or
program. "What we're about here.
Mrs. Crosby, is not snuffing out any
school," he said.

Jet lands in South Yemen:
87 hostages reportedly safe

repeatedly threatening death to their 87
hostages, ordered a commandeered jet flown
across the desolate Arabian desert Sunday
and forced the plane down on unpaved

officials closed the Aden airport.
"All of the 87 hostages are inside the
aircraft and all are reported safe." the Iraqi
News Agency reported from Aden.
Radio Baghdad said Yemeni commandos
surrounded the jet. which was running
dangerously low on fuel, immediately after
its risky off-runway landing in the remote

A California woman with a

German jet since midday Thursday.
Services interrupted
WASHINGTON - Six demonstrators,
protesting the neutron bomb Sunday,
interrupted church services attended by
President Carter, who later described them
as "fine young people" and said they had his
sympathy.
District of Columbia police arrested five
of the six on charges of disturbing a religious
gathering. Police initially said all were
arrested, but later said charges were not
pressed against one of the protestors, former
Catholic nun and antiwar activist Elizabeth
McAlister.
The disturbance at the 175-year-old First
Baptist Church of Washington, which
Carter attends regularly, occurred shortly
before the start of the sermon.
Joan Little 'depressed'
RALEIGH Joan Little, her chances of
parole lessening following allegations of
prison infractions, was "depressed" and
"desperate" before she escaped from prison,
her attorney said Sunday.
Little, a 23-year-old black woman who
made international headlines during a 1975
trial on charges of killing her white jailer,
escaped from the North Carolina
Correctional Center for Women Saturday.
Jerry Paul, w ho successfully defended her
. on the murder charge, said Mis Little
telephoned him Friday and insisted she had
to see him.
"1 talked to her Friday. She was
depressed " Paul said. "But 1 didn't expect
the escape. I planned to see her."
Little, serving a 7-to-IO year sentence tor
breaking and entering, comes up for parole
next month but has been punished because
of recent infractions in the work release
program.

favorable to the defendants."
If all appeals fail, Ferguson said he again
would ask Hunt to pardon the Wilmington
10. The defense counsel already has asked
for a gubernatorial pardon once. Hunt,
however, refused, saying the courts should
resolve the matter.
But Ferguson said he believes Hunt may
decide to pardon the 10 even if appeal
procedures are exhausted. The attorney said
Hunt may issue a pardon to appeal to the
black vote if a succession bill is approved by
voters next month and Hunt runs again in
1980.
Or. Hunt mav decide to pardon as a last
conciliatory gesture before he leaves office,
Ferguson said. Gov. Jim Holshouser did the
same thing when he pardoned convicted
kidnappers I. onnie and Sandy Sawyer on his
last day in office in 1977.
"Given the history of this case, 1 think
anything's possible," Ferguson said.
