A computer count of students enrolled at Sandhills Community College in the college transfer and occupational education program totaled 1676 students two days after classes started for the fall term. Charles Yarbrough. dean of students, and Franklin Toole, Jr., the registrar, are confident the number will be close to 1700 students when the late registrants are included. The unprecedented number of men and women has the college "bulging at the seams", according to the dean, with many classes having to be split, part of the student lounge converted to classroom, and other areas improvised to accommodate the record enrollment. The problem of parking space for cars has been ?ftfved by opening up the wooded grounds near the paved parking lots which until this fall have been adequate. SCS Activities F. O. Clark, District Conservationist New "dredge and fill" regulations of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers impose the threat of "cumbersome, time ? oonsuming procedures" on farmers every time they clean a ditch or build a farm pond, says Robert W. Long, assistant secretary of Agriculture for Conservation, Research and Education. The new rules were designated as "interim final" when the Corps put them into effect July 25. Prior to that date, Long sard, he had discussed the proposed regulations with officials of the Corps and the Environmental Protection Agency, adding that some areas of concern had been reduced. "But when the July 25 regulations were published in the federal register, there was brand new language to worry us all over again," Long declared. "These regulations are like the legendary Hydra - you cut off one head and two grow back in its place." The assistant secretary said that the Corps has admitted that the average dredge ? and - fill application will require at least four months to process and that "built ? in delays" could extend the time still longer. "Also," he said, "farmers will have to pay a SI00 fee if the quality of material to be discharged exceeds 2,500 cubic yards. These are needless burdens on farmers already burdened by too many reports and too much government paperwork." Long said he feared that "unnecessary Corps red tape" would hold up work on U.S. Department of Agriculture programs to help rural communities repair flood damages and restore land and streams, by forcing the civilian agencies to apply to the military for work permits. "This seems to me an unwarranted intrusion of the military into a traditionally civilian area. It is hard to see how helping farmers clean up after a flood in Minnesota and North Dakota is the concern ot our nation's defense establishment." Long also criticized the new regulations for vagueness and the ambiguity of definitions. "They make it the prerogative of each army district engineer," he said, "to determine that areas not specified in the regulations are navigable waters and subject to permit requirements. Such important decisions should not be left to the whim and caprice of district engineers, who conceivably could call anything a navigable waterways that is capable of floating a 2 - by - 10 - inch plank after a rainstrom." Also criticized was the "apparent intrusion of the Corps into the field of federal land use control through executive regulation at a time when Congress is still undecided over the issue of a national land use policy." Long said that "this important question should be decided in the legislative arena and in the Pentagon. The USDA official also found fault with the Corps' intention to put its rules into effect one phase at a time. "This phase - in seems to be aimed at reducing our concern rather than reducing the impact of the final regulations. "It's the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down. Even if the rules are imposed gradually, the final result will be the same -? heavy and unfair burdens on farmers, and others concerned with land use in rural areas." "The Department of Agriculture has recommended that legislative action be taken to limit the coverage of the new regulations to conform to the traditional "navigable" waterways concept. Comment have been sent to the subcommittee on water resources, House Public Works Committee. Tobacco Carryover Plan Offered Same As Last Year Flue-cured growers throughout the flue-cured tobacco area can deliver their carryover tobacco on hand at the end of the marketing season to Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization Corporation for processing and storage until the 1976 marketing season. The USDA Tobacco Loan Program was amended in 1973 to provide loans on flue-cured tobacco carried over by growers from one marketing year to another to avoid marketing in excess of the applicable farm quota. This will help alleviate many of the problems encountered with carryover tobacco stored on the farm such as insect damage and deterioration in quality. The program will operate basically in the same manner as previous years. Growers will deliver carryover tobacco to the CO-OP at designated receiving points in the area at which time the tobacco will be weighed and graded into a standard USDA grade by an Inspector of the Grading Service. Sheets will also be exchanged at this time. A record will be prepared showing full identification of the grower, weight of each sheet, USDA grade, and total weight of delivery. A copy of this record will be given to the grower and a copy forwarded to the State ASCS Office. The tobacco will then be processed and stored in the same manner as regular tobacco with the exception that all carryover tobacco will be kept separated and marked as "Carryover" tobacco. Since carryover tobacco is not eligible for sale or loan until the next marketing season which begins on July I each New Appointments At Mid-State Appointment of two new staff members at the Mid-State Lung Association were announced by executive director Mrs. Edith B.

Proceeds from the sales and/or loans advanced, less expenses incurred during the carryover period, will be distributed to growers after July 1, 1976. Plans tor location of receiving points where growers may deliver their carryover tobacco will be determined and growers will be notified as to scheduling deliveries at such designated receiving points at the close of the marketing season in each belt.
