fX 2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, January Jordan ompgiiginis live via By STEVE LONG Staff Writer Democratic gubernatorial candi date Bob Jordan is using "electronic whistlestops" to liven up the race for governor. Jordan broadcast a live satellite campaign message to supporters Thursday night. The 15-minute program originated from the Mission Valley Inn in Raleigh and was beamed to 10 other cities around the state. The broadcast, available to suppor ters gathered in motels and to satellite dish owners, included a six-minute Legislature By BETH RHEA Staff Writer The General Assembly has approved $700,000 over the next two years for the funding of the first state wide program to combat alcohol and drug abuse in North Carolina's pnsons, said Margaret Webb, infor mation officer for the General Assembly. "It's a recognition of the fact that drugs are linked to the commission of crimes," Webb said. According to Paul Gross, adminis-. trative officer for the new program, 85 percent of the state's total prison population has indicated substance abuse involvement. This finding is based on the type of crime committed County task force recommends new landfill By AMY WEISNER Staff Writer Orange County needs to build a new landfill in order to accommodate the growing amount of solid waste, according to members of the Regional Solid Waste Task Force. At a public hearing Wednesday, the task force revealed a study of For the Record Thursday's story, "Yelverton joins race for student body president," should have said that Bill Yelverton was one of the principal organizers of UNIT AS, not the chief organizer of the program.

In addition, Gross said, 67 percent of the state's probationers were either charged with a drug- or alcohol related crime or admitted substance abuse involvement. Gross said the new program includes treatment, a tracking system and data base to follow inmates' progress, and a substance enforce ment and control component to keep alcohol and drugs from getting into the prisons. The program also offers an employee assistance component, which is intended to give prison future local disposal options and described Orange and Durham coun ties' current waste management practices. "When we generate solid waste, we don't throw it 'away,' " said Bruce Heflin, Chapel. Hill public works director and task force member. "There is no such place as 'away.' " The main solutions for waste disposal include combinations of landfills, recycling, burning, salvage and compost, Heflin said. The task force hired a nationwide consulting firm, H.D.R. Engineering, Inc., to conduct a waste management study and to analyze regional options. "We know that businesses and individuals generate 75 percent of this municipal waste, to which each individual contributes two pounds per day and each employee creates four pounds," said Jeronme Leszkie wicz, H.D.R. project manager.

Many presidential candidates are using this campaign technique, said Marylou Harris, general manager for Capitol Satellite, the company coor dinating the broadcast.

The treatment component follows Alcoholics Anonymous's 12-step model, which includes the use of peer counselors and graduates of the program, Gross said. "One of the things that was clear to the commission was that the programs that have worked have used recovered persons," he said. The main treatment facility is the 100-bed Wayne Correctional Center in Wayne County, where adult male felons undergo a full-time, seven-days-a-week, 30-day intensive pro existing sanitary landfills, according to enviromental specialists. In 1987 Orange County created and buried 94,000 tons of waste in a landfill. The county is expected to produce 100,000 tons in 1988. Task force members said that a new 50-foot-deep landfill, constructed on 750 acres of land, would help accom modate the waste of both Durham and Orange counties. "Based on our research, there will always be a need for a landfill in this area," Leszkiewicz said. "Other alternatives may also be used. How ever, there is no getting around the landfill." Orange County currently buries 93 percent of its waste. A new type of landfill technology would be used in which synthetic liners with drains in the bottom collect surface water that can then be treated to reduce pollution, Leszkie wicz said.

Treatment at this facility began Jan. 25 and inmates are expected to go through at least step four of the program at Wayne, Gross said. Patients may then be transferred to federally-funded institutions around the state for outpatient treatment. Another treatment facility is located at the 24-bed Western Cor rectional Center in Morganton. The program there focuses on male youth offenders, primarily between the ages of 16 and 18. The program is the result of a legislative study focusing on a similar program in Arkansas that uses the AA model. landfills, so they studied potential landfill sites around Durham and Chapel Hill, close to where waste is generated. Approximately 75 citizens attended the hearing, and many said they were concerned that the landfill would be located too close to their neighborhoods. Chapel Hill resident Bill Rowe said, "The noise and smell of a landfill are some of the aspects we would not like to endure, as I am sure you wouldn't in your own homes." Members of the task force also discussed other methods of reducing the amount of waste, such as a pilot project in which neighborhoods collect newspapers and glass products and separate them for curbside pickup. "The main component to reduction is prevention," said Margaret Holton, a Chapel Hill resident. "We need to start a campaign so that the citizens who make the waste have, the responsibility!" it: TV Basketball - (must be 18 or older ! -- 2J UcJ l .- y. -' :. . y y y .- : WFUN E.

Polygamist clan, Utah police end 13-day siege in shootout From Associated Press reports MARION, Utah A quick burst of gunfire Thursday ended a tense, 13-day standoff between a polygamist clan and police, killing an officer and seriously wounding the group's ringleader, who was suspected of bombing a Mormon chapel. The siege had begun within hours of the predawn bombing Jan. 16 of the Mormon Church's chapel a half-mile from the com pound.

Senate for Title IX change WASHINGTON The Senate on Thursday approved a measure that would effectively repeal 1975 regulations designed to prevent discrimination against women who have abortions or want them. The 56-39 vote came on an amendment to the Civil Rights Restoration Act, a controversial measure since it was introduced in 1984 to reverse the effects of a Supreme Court decision limiting the reach of federal anti discrimination protections.

Leaders propose peace plans WASHINGTON President Reagan joined Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in decrying vio lence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza, but the two leaders apparently differed Thurs day on how best to revitalize peace prospects in the Middle East. Reagan applauded Mubarak's call for a six-month cooling-off period and attributed the deaths and injuries to "allowing the Palestinian problem to fester." Soviet power plant canceled MOSCOW Public opposi tion stemming from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster has forced Soviet authorities to stop building a nuclear power plant near the Black Sea, a Soviet newspaper reported Wednesday. Complaints said the power plant in Krasnodar, 50 miles north of the Black Sea, would have been located in an earthquake-prone area close to a nature preserve and health resorts. in major cities. The chancellors and deans of UNCC showed Soviet representatives the engineering, arts and sciences, and business schools, Josephson said. AASCU official Robert Arsenault toured seven U.S. state colleges and universities with the Latvian educa tion minister, Edgar Vladmirovich Linde, and the rectors of Byelorussian State University and Donetsky State University. The group began their tour in New York and traveled south to UNCC and five other universities. After the first campus tour, the group attended an orientation and briefing seminar at the AASCU headquarters. The Soviet officials negotiated the agreement with AASCU president Allan W. Ostar in Washington, D.C. In April, presidents of the seven participating schools will travel to Lithuania and Russia to visit the Soviet educational institutions involved. After the tour, the Soviei and American participants will decide whether or not to instigate this student exchange. The AASCU is based in Washing ton, D.C, and works with 374 universities and colleges across the United States. mSi n 1 O ' f $1 320 W.
