2The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, September 9, 1992 Marcoplos criticizes county wastefulness of energy, tax money By Dale Castle Suff Writer A candidate for the Orange County Board of Commissioners and alterna tive energy activists at a Tuesday press conference said the county was silent about the issue of energy efficiency. The press conference was held in front of Weaver Street Market in Carrboro. County commission candidate Mark Marcoplos accused the county govern ment of wasting taxpayers' money on energy bills. Marcoplos added that the new Or ange County government building, lo cated in Hillsborough, was a waste of energy. The building faces the sun during the hottest part of the day, forcing people to run the air conditioner at higher levels, he said. "There are no eaves that block the summer sun and let the winter sun in," Marcoplos said. "This is a feature that doesn't cost anything," he added. The board of commissioners is not making this issue a priority, Marcoplos said. "We've got to move now," he said. "I haven't heard anybody speak out on this issue." Others at the press conference also expressed the need to find alternative energy sources. Sun Shares energy program manager Bill Warren stressed the importance of setting a standard for measuring energy efficiency to point out improvement or decline. Alternative energy expert Amie Katz said departments should be awarded for Hey UNC BLACKWJACK PRESEMTS Friday, Sept. 11th 8:00 p.m. SSpresak $7 atthedoor limited tickets available 157 E. ROSEMARY ST.

"This is very possible to do," Katz said. Marty Mandel, organizer of Carrboro and Wake County Solar Days, said buildings should be heated with solar energy and cooled with natural gas to conserve energy. She added that government build ings should utilize skylights rather than electric lights during the day. A list compiled by many environ mental groups in Orange County will be formally presented to the Chapel Hill Town Council later this year, Mandel said.

"It's every little Indian girl's dream," said Jacobs, whose past titles include Miss Pre-Teen Clinton, Miss Indian N.C. Princess, and Miss Clinton High School. Jacobs credited her tribe, based in Sampson and Harnett counties, with encouraging her throughout the pageant process. "(Native Americans) live like regu lar people," she said, "but the tribe is our basis, and moral support comes from it. So does cultural tradition." All tribes have a tribal office that provides for its members by helping the unemployed find jobs and offering classes in Native-American dance, beadwork and senior citizens' activi ties. Jacobs, who taught dance for her tribe, said the passing down of movements was essential because they could not be written down. Dances play a major role in tribal pow-wows, which usually run on Fri day nights and all day Saturday. "We basically dance all day," Jacobs said. All ages join to perform and compete in different categories of Indian dance. call 968-7894 graduate and professional schools. Akbar Sharfi, a senior from "West Palm Beach, Fla., and a member of the seminar committee, said the goal of the first seminar was to give seniors a better idea of how to prepare for graduate school.

She also received a $500 scholarship, ster ling silver and fully beaded crowns and a dress valued at $1,300 with her title. Traveling is the most exciting part of being Miss Indian North Carolina, Jacobs said. "Little girls look up to you at pow-wows and say, 'Look, there she is.' "If I win at nationals, I'll get to travel to different Indian communities and to Japan. I'm excited about teaching oth ers about my tribe." The Coharie retain a low profile be cause they always have hidden out in the past, Jacobs said. Only six words of Coharie language remain in existence because it was once illegal to speak the language. "It means more to the U.S. govern ment to be one-thirty-second Navaho than to be full-blooded Coharie," she said. N.C. tribes, in general, have had difficulty gaining federal recognition because they were the first to be bom barded with settlers and did not have time to build much resistance.

Jacobs voiced equally strong feel ings about the controversy surrounding Columbus Day. "A lot of people say it' s over and done with," she said. "I dis agree. It hurts to see how the govern ment praises his discovery and doesn't give credit to Native-American contri butions." Junior Kenric Maynor, president of the Carolina Indian Circle, agreed that the importance of Native-American culture largely was overlooked. "It's frustrating to be viewed as a legend instead of a race that's alive and thriving," he said. "A lot of people go to 'Dances With Wolves,' for example, and say they feel so bad about what was done," Maynor said. "They don't realize the same thing's happening on a smaller scale, only now the problem's drugs, alcohol and poverty on reservations." Jacobs hopes to upgrade such cir cumstances after finishing medical school on the Indian Health Scholar ship, which pays for medical training in return for service on Indian reserva tions. Many prizes await Jacobs at the Miss Indian U.S.A. pageant next summer: a $19,000 undergraduate scholarship, a $5,000 wardrobe, $20,000 in travel ex Oumctti) mi SETEMBER 12tfiFROM ULENWNNUXSHOWINVLENWR Careers of the Nineties Aerospace engineers 103 Air mime controllers iu Aircraft mechanics 106 Aircraft pilots .... 105 Architects 107 Archivists & curators 160 Biological Scientists 326 Chemical engineers 120 Chemists 121 Childcare workers 1 22 Chiropractors .... 151 Clinical laboratory tech 166 Computer operators 1 27 Computer programmers 126 Computer service technicians 129 Computer system analysts 125 Construction it building inspectors 131 Construction mgrs 322 Correction officers 136 Counselors 167 Dental assistants 153 Designers 140 Detectives 233 Dietitians it nutritionists 1 52 Electrical & electronic engineers 141 Employment interviewers 169 Engineering, science & data proc. managers 327 Engineering technicians 145 Financial mgrs... 323 Flight attendants 149 Geologists it geophysicista 251 Graphic & fine artists 201 Health service mgrs 203 Hotel mgrs & assistants 206 Industrial engineers 207 Inspectors & compliance officers 253 Labor relations specialists 254 Lawyers 212 Legal assistants . 21 3 Mgmt analysts 4c consultants 324 Mktg it public relations mgrs 262 Mathematicians 217 Mechanical engineers 218 Medical assistants 219 Meteorologists .. 256 Nurses, licensed 225 Nurses, registered 224 Nursing at psychiatric aides 226 Occupational therapists 263 Operations research analysts 328 Pharmacists 164 Physical therapists 265 Physicians 230 Physicians assistants 231 Physicists it astronomers 266 Property it real estate mgrs 268 Psychologists 235 Radio it television announcers 237 Radiologic technologists 258 Real estate agents & brokers 239 Recreational therapists 241 Reporters and correspondents 238 concentrate on subjects that can help seniors adjust to graduation and post graduate plans, said committee mem ber Jill Jacobs, a senior from Goldsboro.

"This is definitely the biggie," said Charlene Jacobs, Belinda Jacob's mother. "But regardless of the prizes, she would love to hold that title." Charlene Jacobs said her daughter instinctively took pride in her culture and sought knowledge about it on her own. "Basically , we' ve just told her not to let her race or anything else be a stum bling block to her," she said. "And Belinda has so much energy. ... She's always been a go-getter." Jacobs' long-time friend and room mate Chenoa Richardson believes these traits will help Jacobs at the Miss Indian U.S.A. pageant. "She holds herself up very professionally, and she truly un derstands her culture," Richardson said. Jacobs herself sees the passing-on of her culture as more a necessity than an option. "We are at least fighting back now," she said. "Back in the '60s, when you thought just blacks were discrimi nated against. Native Americans were oppressed but didn't have as visible a civil rights movement. "But now we're back in full swing." Gfroity of 1:00 pAn.m.
