Indecisive
From Associated Press reports
LONDON Michael Hesehine, a
flamboyant former defense secretary,
has two davs left to decide whether to
attempt the once-unthinkable: ousting
N.C. waste site decision
to explore other disposal options
From Associated Press reports
CHARLOTTE North Carolina
officials appear ready topickaGranville
County site for a chemical-waste in
cinerator, but opponents say the state
shouldn't be in a hurry to bum waste.
Opponents say that alternatives to
incineration should be explored and that
industry can reduce the amount of wastes
they generate.
Marvin Krieger, a spokesman for the
Statesville-based Community Council
of North Carolina, says the waste should
be stored until industry can reclaim
usable materials locked in the goo.
"My argument is economics,"
Krieger, a former economics professor,
said In an interview published Monday
in The Charlotte Observer. "It's too
valuable to burn."
Krieger, 67, has been promoting "safe
cyclical storage" as an alternative for
"handling North Carolina waste to leg

Margaret Thatcher as Conservative
Party leader and thus prime minister.
The crisis has thrown the party's
normally well-disciplined legislators
into turmoil. And suddenly all bets are
news media.
He envisions putting waste in leak
proof containers in earth-covered bun
kers in six or seven sites around the
state. The waste would sit for one to five
years, awaiting methods that could ex
tract metals and chemicals or harmlessly
detoxify the stuff.
But he's having a tough job selling
the idea of bottling up waste. He said
he's encountered a "wall of silence"
from a state government he sees as bent
on building the 50,000-ton-a-year in
cinerator. State officials say they're familiar
with Krieger's plan. They don't think it
would fly, in part because they interpret
federal laws as discouraging companies
from storing waste unless it's destined
for incineration or other conventional
disposal.

tal Protection Agency," said Linda
Little, the state s top waste-policy ad
viser. Little, executive director of the
Governor's Waste Management Board,
denies state officials have given Krieger
the cold shoulder.
She said she passed out copies of his
plan to the Inter-Agency Committee on
Hazardous Waste, a group of regulators
and policy officials. The committee
discussed the storage alternative in
meetings in August and September,
committee minutes show.
She also said Gov. Jim Martin, who
committed North Carolina to building
the incinerator, "is very familiar with
the plan and has read it and discussed it
with his staff."
Krieger said as waste volumes build
up, they'll become more attractive to a
recycler. As technologies emerge, in

and consulting crystal balls.
Some Heseltine supporters claim they
are within sight of the 159 votes needed
to force a second ballot among the 372
Conservative legislators in the House
of Commons who elect the party leader.
The leader of the party with a majority
in the 650-member Commons is auto
matically the prime minister.
Mrs. Thatcher's supporters are seiz
ing on everything from the Persian Gulf
crisis to the sheer dominance of the
woman who has led the party for 15
years and put her stamp on the nation
through 1 1 years in power.
The nomination deadline is noon
Thursday, and if there's a challenger, a
secret ballot will be held Nov. 20. Un
der the rules, Mrs. Thatcher must get 50
percent of the votes cast and be 15
percent clear of the next placed to avoid
a runoff. If not, a second ballot with
more newcomers would be held a week
later.
Whatever happens, it promises to be
messy for the party.
'The problem is that in effect we
have no agreed procedure for getting rid
of the prime minister," said Denis
Kavanagh, professor of politics at
Nottingham University. "It is like a
presidential system without presidential
elections."
Heseltine, 57, has stalked Mrs.

said. "I'm not going to deny that."
Lumsden said he felt Hardin would
be compelled to remove the statues in
students' best interest.
"The statues are indicative of a lack
of minority and female representation
at the institutional level," he said.
Sanders said the committee had no
power to influence Hardin's decision
and Hardin was not required to listen to
their proposal. The committee, made up
of faculty and students representing the
rower
the environment could not win in na
tional or state politics.
"I don't think we can beat the kind of
money, or the kind of power that they
have against us, and I don't think we can
beat the lobbies in Washington," he
said. "But I think where we can beat
them is at the grassroots and at the local
government, and I hope we' ll start seeing
more power taken away from the cen
tralized institutions and more victories
won at the local level, where the people
can finally have a voice."
Many students found Brower to be a
dynamic speaker.
"He is an important voice for us all,
an inspiration for action," said Vipul
Nishawala, a junior political science

She has worked with the South
Carolina Tuberculosis Foundation to
inform African-Americans about the
spread of germs and other factors that
contribute to the contraction of the
disease. She also has worked in an African-American
voter registration drive,
which drew more than 1 50,000 people.
She was instrumental in the break
down of the all-white Democratic pri
mary election in South Carolina and the
fight to integrate public schools there.
A former schoolteacher, Simkins said
integration of schools hurt black chil
dren, partly because the white power
structure drove out the already small
number of black teachers.
Children are not well educated in
either white or black schools about black
history, particularly African history, she
said. The first mathematicians and
pyramid builders were blacks, she said.
"Most of our people don't know
anything about black people except that
they were brought over here as slaves,"
Simkins said.
All students should be interested in
learning about slavery, she said. "Every
people who have ever been on earth
have been in slavery at one time."
The worst form of slavery is that of
the mind because you cannot be free if
your mind is in bondage, she said.

Thatcher skillfully since quitting
Thatcher's Cabinet in January 1 986 in a
dispute over his plan to rescue a helicopter-maker,
Westland.
A tall, handsome, self-made million
aire, he has toured the country address
ing party meetings, opening fetes, as
siduously avoiding direct criticism of
Mrs. Thatcher and biding his time
for a challenge.
The routine has kept him the most
instantly recognized politician in Brit
ain after Mrs. Thatcher and also,
polls suggest, the favorite to succeed
her.
The party leader is elected annually
in November. Since Mrs. Thatcher
ousted Edward Heath when her party
was in opposition in 1975, she has been
re-elected unopposed apart from a feeble
challenge last year.
Rebellious murmurs remained as the
Conservative continued to trail the La
bor Party for a dangerously long 16
months, mainly because of economic
troubles.
The latest spark was the Nov. 1 res
ignation of Deputy Prime Minister Sir
Geoffrey Howe in protest of Mrs.
Thatcher's combative stance with the
rest of the 1 2-nation European Commu
nity. Then the pro-European Heseltine
struck with a well-publicized letter ob-
University community, acts strictly as
an advisory board, he said.
The group would consider the issue
and help Hardin decide how to vote, he
said.
Groups who favor keeping the stat
ues in place have called the attempt to
move them censorship, CAOS members
said. But members said moving the
statues was not censorship because they
were simply asking that the statues be
moved.

Chris Aycock, a sophomore history
major from Raleigh, said he thought
students appreciated having such a
prominent speaker who supports the
environment at UNC.
'The most important aspect of the
event wasn't what he said, but the fact
that he said something at all," Aycock
said. "He inspired his audience to think
about the environment. It is up to us,
each of us to come us with practical
ways of saving the environment. We
have to. We have no choice."

she said she lived a full life every day.
"Heaven is in the heart, (and) in how
we treat our fellow man, and I can
honestly say that I don't hate any man
