The Shearon Harris nuclear power
plant, going up south of Raleigh, about
20 miles from Chapel Hill, is the largest
construction project in North Carolina's
history. For the Kudzu Alliance, a group
formed to oppose the plant, it represents
a monumental effort even without its vast
size.
The two-year-old alliance began at the
same time as construction of the plant
and has since grown into an organization
of more than 12 chapters, with an
executive committee, press
representatives, and committees for
education, legislation, public relations
and research.
Carolina Power and Light Co.
announced the building of a nuclear
power plant at the Apex site in 1971, said
Alliance member Jim Overton. The
announcement was made, he said, after
feasibility studies which began in 1969.
Soon after that, a coalition called
Wake "Environmentalists, Inc. was
formed in opposition to the plant.
But that group died out when a delay
occurred in the securing of a construction
permit by CP&L, Overton said.
"We (Kudzu) got into it in October of
1977, when they went back to getting the
construction permit," he said. "We began
with 20 or 30 people."
Construction of the plant started in
January 1978. The first of the plant's four
nuclear reactors is scheduled for
completion in 1984. The others are to
follow in 1986, 1989 and 1991. The
reactors themselves are being built by the
Westinghouse Corporation.
Chuck Mosley, head of the visitors'
center at the Harris Plant, said Kudzu's
protests thus far have had no effect on its
operation.
"We did have a sit-in (by Kudzu) in our
office, I believe back in April," Mosley
said. "But we haven't had any trouble at
all
"There have been parades and peaceful
demonstrations, civil disobedience, but
construction has not been delayed one
jackhammer blow."
Mosley said there have been no
incidents of the type that occurred earlier
this month at the Seabrook Nuclear
Power Plant in New Hampshire, where
20 protesters were arrested after police
repelled demonstrators from the plant
gates.
But some observers have likened the
anti-nuclear movement to 1960s -style
activism. "I see the safe energy movement
as one that has the prospect of being as
important as the antiwar and civil rights
movements of the 1960s," said Bill
Cummings, a member of Kudzu's
coordinating council. "We've gained a lot
of momentum since Three Mile Island.
"Still, I wouldn't call it (the Three Mile
Island accident) a blessing in disguise;
and I sure hope it doesn't happen again."
CP&L's Mosley said Three Mile Island
was a good thing for the nuclear industry.
The safety system did work, he said, and
no one was harmed.
"As a result of Three Mile Island, the
people got a cram course in nuclear
power,", Mosley said. "The people are
getting more educated, and they're
learning that we cannot live without
nuclear power."
Kudzu's Overton said the focus of the
anti-nuclear movement is distinctive
from 60s-style demonstrations. "The
protests against the Vietnam War had a
national focus," he said, while the anti
nuclear movement is a series of local and
regional groups.
- But, he added, "Our effort is similar to
the Vietnam protests in that it protests
poor government policy."
There is more than one anti-nuclear
organization in Chapel Hill alone. The
Kudzu Alliance has a local chapter, and
the Chapel Hill Anti-Nuclear Group
Effort (CHANGE) also was recently
formed.
A major Kudzu theme is fear of a
catastrophe resulting from a nuclear
plant malfunction. But CP&L's Mosley
said that in 23 years of nuclear reactor
operation (500 reactor-years), there have

Three Student Government positions, including a new student
body treasurer, have been filled. Student Body President J.B.
Kelly said Tuesday. '
Doug Shakelford, a senior accounting major from Kinston,
will replace Susan Treece, following her resignation which takes
effect today. Shakelford formerly served as assistant treasurer.
Treece, who accepted the position last March, said that
pressures, academic and otherwise, were the reasons for her
resignation. She said she will advise the new treasurer if
necessary.
In other appointments, Richard Terrell, a junior economics
and psychology major from High Point, has been named 1980
Springfest chairman. Selected from among 19 applicants, Terrell
will investigate the possibility of coordinating another outdoor
concert in Kenan Stadium, Kelly said.
Kelly said he will meet Thursday with Susan Strayhorn,
Henderson Residence College social chairman, to discuss plans
for Springfest. A Springfest committee will be appointed to nelp
with the various aspects of the concert, he said.
F. Scott Simpson, a sophomore public policy analysis major
from Monroe, will serve as elections board chairman' Simpson
oversees a staff of 1 4 and is responsible for ensuring the impartial
election of campus-wide representatives, Kelly said.
Shakeiford's -appointment is subject to Campus Governing
Council approval, Kelly said. Simpson's appointment was
recently approved. Terrell's appointment does not require
approval, tveuy saia.

been no deaths.
"The1 best defense for the safety of
nuclear power is our own record,"
Mosley said. "Society accepts 150 deaths
at a time in coal mine accidents and many
more traffic deaths every year. Well,
we've never had any."
Mosley said nuclear waste, another
target of anti-nuclear groups, is also a
small threat. "There is no high-level
nuclear waste being produced now in the
U.S.," he said.
Mosley said high-level liquid waste,
when it is produced, is disposed of by
being solidified and encased in two layers
of steeL He said there are warning devices
that tell if waste returns to a liquid state or
penetrates either of the steel layers.
Low-level wastes from Shearon Harris,
Mosley said, will be placed in 55-gallon
drums, compressed and buried at a site in
Barnwell, S.C.
But Cummings said the alliance is
, concerned about more than just safety.
"Nuclear energy is the most expensive
source outside of foreign oil, and the least
proven," he said. "No one really knows
what the lone-term results of it will be."
"I see our movement as one that has a
powerful positive message," Cummings
said. "I see it as a movement that presents
viable alternatives to nuclear energy."
Cummings said solar power, wind,
hydroelectric power, wood and coal are
alternatives to nuclear power.

Joyner to haunt for UNICEF,
Frat sponsors highrise tricking and treating
The tricks and treats will be a little sweeter
for some 50 area children on South Campus
tonight.
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will escort
underprivileged children from four Chapel
Hill elementary schools to trick-or-treat at
Morrison and Hinton James dormitories.
"The children are really excited about
gathering Halloween favors from the high rise
dorms," said Pierre Cromartie, service project
chairman for the fraternity.
"The brothers are all very excited about
working with the children also, and so are the
dorm residents," Cromartie said. "Some of the
residents are even dressing up themselves and
their suites for the evening."
Children may have been frightened away on
Halloween night in past years by the
impersonal nature and height of the South
Campus dorms, Cromartie said.
Goblins boogie in Union tonight
UNCs second annual Halloween. Costume
Ball, sponsored by the Union Social
Committee, is at 9 tonight in the Great Hall.
Music will be provided by Flight, with Carter
( Minor, A costume judging contest will be held
and refreshments will be provided. Costumt
and UNC student I.D. are required.
Admission is free.
"We have heard that some children have1
gone to North Campus in previous years," he
said. "Perhaps this is because of the home-type
atmosphere there "
Cromartie said the fraternity is hopeful the
project also will help dorm residents think of
their dorm as a home. "The residents'
excitement and anticipation helps to promote
the idea of a community atmosphere for the
dorms," he said.
If the event is successful, the fraternity hopes
to make it an annual affair, Cromartie said.
According to the housing department, no
fraternity has taken children trick-or-treating
in the dorms for Halloween before, Cromartie
said.
Cromartie said cooperating residents of
Hinton James and Morrison should be in their
rooms between 6 and 8 p.m. today. "
Remember the magic of a childhood
Halloween? It was the pleasure of pretending,
for just one night, to be someone else witch,
princess, ghost or goblin. And of course it
included the most important thing trick-or-treating.
,
For most college students, trick-or-treating
days ended quite some time ago.
But today, several women from Joyner
Dorm will don witch attire or Little Bo Peep
outfits and relive those days of childhood
Halloweens by trick-or-treating for the United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Oct 31 has been proclaimed National
UNICEF Day by President Carter, and
women from Joyner will be collecting for the
organization from 5 until 8 tonight in North
Campus residence halls.
"We feel that UNICEF is. a worthwhile
organization and trick or treating will benefit a
lot of people," said . Patricia Payne, vice
president of Joyner.-
Payne said that trick-or-treating for
UNICEF will allow dorm residents the
opportunity to do something for someone else
while having a good time.
The theme of the 1979 UNICEF campaign is
"Celebrate the Children of the World," a
slogan developed to correspond with the
International Year of the Child.
UNICEF donations provide immunization,
prevention and control of disease, proper
nutrition and health education to children in
over 100 countries around the world, Payne
said.

illiards Club
cues up for fun
The UNC Billiards Club is trying to get
pool-playing recognized as a legitimate sport
and end its stereotype as a "gambler's sport for
redneck-type people," said Jim Sorgi, who is
organizing the club on campus.
"The UNC Billiards Club is in existence and
is for everyone," Sorgi said. "It's for people
that are good but it's also for those that aren't
so good."
Billiards has several benefits, Sorgi said.
"You don't have to be great to enjoy playing
pool," he said. "It really helps your
concentration." The sport is a good means to
meet new people and socialize, he said.
The club meets at 8 p.m. Wednesdays in the
Carolina Union, and presently has about 30
active members.
The club will be sponsoring an eight-ball
tournament next week. Registration is being
held today through Saturday in the Carolina
Union. All those entering must pay a $1.50
entry fee, Sorgi said.
The tournament will be held next Monday
through Friday. Those paired for a match will
be responsible for making their own schedule,
Sorgj said. Both students and faculty members
are eligible to enter the tournament. If enough
women show an interest, a separate women's
tournament may be held, he said.
One of the goals of the UNC Billiards Club is
to play in the Association of College Unions
International Billiards Tournament, which
holds a pational straight-ball tournament
annually, Sorgi said.
