- Chemical waste management
By AMY WINSLOW
Sfaff Writer
, If GSX Services, Inc. gets its way,
North Carolina could be the first state
ever to lose its authority to handle
its, own hazardous waste to the
Environmental Protection Agency.
GSX, a chemical waste manage
ment firm headquartered in Colum
bia, S.C., serves about 550 customers
in North Carolina.
-The largest waste management
firm in the state, GSX recently
expressed interest in building a waste
treatment plant in Scotland County,
said Nelson Mossholder, vice pres
ident for business development of
dsX. But N.C. law halted the plans,
Mossholder said.

and opponents that the bill was

' "I love 'em, I need 'em, 1 can't live
without 'em," said Jim Stuart, a
junior from Charlotte, about the
coupons in the Carolina Dollar
Saver.
The Carolina Dollar Saver, a
booklet containing coupons from
various local businesses, is making its
third appearance at UNC. Student
Stores distributes the booklet at the
Extension
under the heading of "Immediate
Facility Needs for 1987" at an
estimated cost of $5.5 million.
-"The DOT would pay for the
majority, if not all, of the extension.
The DOT and members of the
Transportation Study Group of the

declined in its percentage of the
overall budget in all but those two
years. The percentage of the budget
spent on education has increased each
year since Martin took office in 1985.
- While the resume does not specify
percentage points, Pittman said
percentage points are the correct
Standard for reporting the general
funding.

to prevent us (GSX) from building,"
Mossholder said.
GSX has filed a petition with the
EPA, and a formal investigation of
N.C. disposal restrictions is in pro
gress, said Carl Terry, EPA
spokesman.
GSX has already built four
drummed-waste service centers in
North Carolina, Mossholder said.
The company has a secure chemical
landfill and incinerator in South
Carolina.
Under the law enacted by the
General Assembly in June, no facility
could receive an operating permit
unless it would dilute every gallon of
treated waste water in 1,000 gallons
of ordinary water.
The law doesirt prevent GSX from
building a plant, but it does restrict
the amount of waste discharge into
beginning of each semester.
UNC-CH is not the only university
with the Dollar Saver. About 10
universities in the general area offer
the Dollar Saver, said John Gorsuch,
administrative assistant of UNC
Student Stores. Those include Duke,
N.C. State and East Carolina univer
sities, he said.
"The Student Stores is the sole
distributor of the Dollar Saver,"
Gorsuch said. "The purpose is to

there was some confusion in Martin's
office.
"I think that it's fairly obvious that
it's a political move," she said. "It does
show that Gov. Martin takes credit
for things that are not his doing."
A spokesman for the Republican
Party declined to comment.
Pittman said he did not expect this
to hurt Martin's 1988 re-election
campaign.

N.C. rivers, said Ann Slaughter,
founder of Sensible Concerns About
Toxics. SCAT was fundamental in
getting the restrictions passed.
"The Bisque River is a drinking
source for over 100,000 people,"
Slaughter said. "It is also very special
to the Lumbee Indians (of Scotland
County) who use the river for canoe
ing, swimming and fishing."
GSX is asking for waste disposal
at a rate of 50,000 gallons a day, she
said. To dump this much into the
river, GSX would need to use 50
million gallons of water.
But Mossholder said GSX would
pose no threat to the water supply.
"There is no reason to suppose,
with our controls and technology,
that our facility is going to cause any
degradation (of the water supply),"
Mossholder said.

a service to the students.
"It's very successful, and a real nice
thing to do for the students," he
added.
While Student Stores is responsible
for the Dollar Saver's distribution,
Dale Shellman was responsible for its
creation.
"Since 1974, my business has called
me to the University campus," Shell
man said. "I saw merchants were

When North Carolina asked the
EPA to look at the proposed waste
disposal bill in February, the EPA
told the state it was putting unneces
sary restrictions on waste treatment
facilities, Terry said. The legislators
revised the bill, but the EPA still
maintained that the restrictions were
too harsh, he said.
To obtain the authority to handle
its own toxic waste, a state must have
a program as stringent as the federal
government's, be consistent with
other states and be able to enforce
its program, Terry said.
North Carolina's laws are incon
sistent with federal regulations, he
said.
"Our (GSX's) objective is not (to
revoke) state (power)," Mossholder
said, "but that is the most direct way
to void the law."
trying desperately to reach the stu
dents and in many ways were
unsuccessful.
"It was my idea to put together a
magazine that would have a local
flavor, containing no articles, only
good old-fashioned coupons a very
measurable advertisement
magazine."
This , year 25,000 Dollar Savers
were printed for the UNC campus
alone, Shellman said. In 1988, a total
of 1 million booklets will be printed
for various campuses, he added.
Local businesses have plenty to say
about the coupon booklet. "It's been
great; it's the best advertising we
have," said Alice Stone, owner of
Aesthetic Hair Styling Salon.
Eddie Williams, owner of Time
Out, said, "His (Shellman's) book is
very good, and we give a value
packed coupon. I feel that is why it's
successful."
Another local business, Athletic
World, had a total of 35 coupons
returned over a one-month period,
said Wendy Johnson, the store's
manager.
UNC students also have responded
positively to the Dollar Saver. "When
you have to learn how to budget your
money and you're working with
limited funds, it is helpful to have all
those coupons provided by Student
Stores," said Jason Salsky, a fresh
man from Philadelphia.
Matt Soule, a freshman from
Lenoir, said, "The Dollar Saver
coupons most definitely encourage
me to patronize the indicated busi
nesses! On several 'occasions';' I have
decided where to eat based on what
coupons I have."

Dukakis says staff was source
of tape that incriminated Biden
From Associated Press reports
BOSTON Two days after
issuing a denial, Gov. Michael
Dukakis said Wednesday he had
learned that his campaign was the
source of a videotape that showed
Sen. Joseph Biden lifting part of
a speech from a British politician.
Dukakis, a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion, at first refused to accept the
resignation of campaign manager
James Sasso, who distributed the
tape, but Sasso and another staffer
resigned Wednesday afternoon.
The disclosure came two days
after Dukakis said he had inter
viewed all of his paid staffers and
was assured none was the source
of a videotape showing that Biden
had borrowed, without attribu
tion, a passage from a speech by
British Labor Party leader Neil
Kinnock.
"Although I had no knowledge
of this, as a candidate in this
campaign I accept full responsi
bility for it," a grim Dukakis said
at a news conference.
New mine scare in gulf
MANAMA, Bahrain A new
mine scare Wednesday sent com
mercial shipping on a circuitous
route through the northern Per
sian Gulf as two U.S.-escorted
convoys steamed north and south
through the waterway.
The latest reported danger
zones were near Farsi Island, a
stronghold of Iran's Revolution
ary Guards. Gulf-based shipping
executives said several possible
sightings had been reported by
ships sailing to and from Kuwait.
British Royal Navy mine sweep
ers spent a second day searching
waters off the southern coast,
where possible sightings of mines
were reported, but they apparently
found nothing.
Catholic women's role debated .
VATICAN CITY Roman
Catholic officials from around the
world will discuss giving women
a greater role in church affairs
but not as priests when a
month-long bishops' synod opens
Thursday.
Pope John Paul II called the
synod, a consultative body that
advises the pope on various issues,
to examine the role of the laity
in church and society.
The synod president, Mon
signor Jan Schotte of Belgium,
told a news conference Tuesday
that 232 cardinals, bishops and

observers, including 26 women.
Many Catholic women's organ
izations, especially those in the
United States and other Western
countries, have complained that
the church is "patriarchal" and
male-dominated.
The pope said last month that
the synod should concentrate on
ways of giving women a larger role
in the Catholic Church, which has
850 million followers.
A working paper prepared for
the synod says, "the full recogni
tion of the dignity of women . . .
is still a goal to be reached." .
Reagan still confident for Bork
WASHINGTON President
Reagan on Wednesday disputed a
Democratic headcount showing
his nomination of Robert Bork in
trouble and exhorted the Senate
to choose "statesmanship over
partisanship" in voting on the
Supreme Court nominee.
Reagan said he is optimistic
Bork will be confirmed, and both
he and White House Chief of Staff
Howard Baker challenged Senate
Democratic Whip Alan Cran
ston's tally showing at least 49
senators now against
confirmation.
Baker acknowledged the admin
istration can count only 40 votes
for Bork the same figure
Cranston has but the Reagan
aide said there are just 30 sure
votes in opposition and about 30
undecided "souls yet to be'saved."
Reagan and top-ranking admin
istration officials, reacting to
statements by Bork critics that the
nomination is endangered, took
the offensive as the Senate Judi
ciary Committee hearings wound
to a close on Capitol Hill after 12
days of testimony.
False alarm in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines Sol
diers backed by tanks encircled
Manila on Wednesday to block
any further attempt to topple
President Corazon Aquino, but
they withdrew after the military
said no mutineers tried to enter
the city.
Col. Emilio Templo, chief of
staff of the Capital Regional
Command, said hundreds of
battle-ready soldiers and marines
rushed to the edge of the city late
Tuesday after receiving reports '
"that rebel soldiers were coming
to Manila."
