Editorials Western Carolinian/December 10, 1981 Acid Rain Problem Critical Acid rain may be the single most pressing problem currently facing the United States and the world at large. For those unfamiliar with the causes and effects of acid rain, here is a brief explanation. Emissions from industrial pollution (mainly in the industrialized midwest) and from automobiles exhaust in all major cities create clouds of invisible sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides that come back to earth—often hundreds of miles away—as acid rain, snow, sleet, frost, and dew. When the acid gets in the water system, it means big trouble. The pH level drops precipitously and begins to cause damage to the aquatic food chain and sometimes the fish directly themselves. Recent acid rainstorms in California, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania have sported pH levels as acid as vinegar-2.8. Plants and automobiles burning fossil fuels spew forth most of the 48 million metric tons of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that are annually produced in this land; and poor government policies have complicated the matter. Item: The Clean Air Act of 1970. This act was ridiculous in the aspect that a) it left the main responsibility for regulation in the hands of the sources of the pollution. b) it was based on the assumption that the country could be sectioned into lots that could be kept under regulation, and that no one section would pollute on anybody else's section. c) the act is not enforced at all; less than ten percent of the country's power plants that use coal have installed badly needed scrubbing equipment. d) many other plants merely installed taller chimneys in order to have the pollution carried out of their area. The prevailing winds blow easterly, so the brunt of the acid The pr fee of style lias just come clour i i! Save £20 or more on SILADIUM® College Rings ...now only $84.95.

MasterCharge or Visa accepted. © 1981 ArtCarved Class Rings rain has hit the Northeast and Southeast Canada. And, the results have been devastating. In the Adirondacks, over two hundred lakes are dead, and another three hundred more are in grave danger of meeting the same fate. In Scandanavia, 15,000 lakes in Eastern North America are dead or dying. The situation is not limited to the Northeast, however. On December 1-2, 8,744 fish died in what John Boaze of the Fish & Wildlife service called "an acid kill" at a private hatchery. Boaze recalled acid kills in five private hatcheries and two that involved fish owned by the Cherokee tribe. The power companies have responded to the threat in their usual manner. Ted Williams gathered several typical examples in the summer 1981 issue of "Gray's Sporting Journal." "Example: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), which is funding a study of three Adirondack lakes, recently seized upon preliminary findings of that study as proof positive that utilities dont make acid rain. In testimony before the U.S. Congress an EPRI spokesman stated that since there was a wide variation in the pH's of the three lakes (as is common in acidified watersheds because of such variables as elevation, soil structure, rock formations), "obviously some factor other than precipitation is responsible for the acidity." Example: William N. Poundstone, Executive Vice President of Consolidation Coal Company, recently declared, "I have seen as much evidence that acid rain at its present level is beneficial as that it is harmful." The pitch that acid rain is really good came first from TV A, one of the planet's most prolific producers of acid rain. A TVA "scientist"—one J. C. Noggle—had somehow deduced that stack scrubbing annually robs Tennessee Valley cropland of $7 million worth of sulfur that it would normally get if industrial air pollution were allowed to occur naturally. When he wrote up his findings (for "Chemical Week," of course) he created quite a flap among air polluters. Ever since, they've been goiong around unsmilingly prescribing acid rain for what ails the earth." The time is far past for action on acid rain. It is estimated that 50,000 deaths could occur in the next 20 years if nothing is done to remedy the situation. For more information on the subject, feel free to write: National Clean Air Coalition 530 7th St., SE Washington, D.C. 20003 by Jim Buchanan Respect Required This editorial is long over due, and very appropriate. I wish I could personally thank Mr. McCalister for his letter last week concerning concert behavior. It is indeed hard to stand up in front of people and perform. If the effort is appreciated that is one thing, but if people talk and or walk out during selections, one can only ask if the effort is worthwhile. It is my feeling that those who attend should either listen quietly or leave quickly and quietly in between selections. Give respect where respect is due. Speaking of respect, why must people abuse the practice rooms in the M/E building with acts of vandalism? Folks, it is a pri viledge to use those rooms, and I must say that I was more than a little upset when I walked in a room yesterday, only to find that the light and fan switches had been ripped out of the wall. Are we in college or grade school? Please realize that some of us use those rooms and take care of them. As a music major, I need to practice in those rooms. There are many other students in the same situation, so please, dont be one of the few people that ruin it for everyone. Respect the facilities provided, and we will be able to enjoy them for a long, long time. Respect the effort of those who perform in recitals and make those experiences more enjoyable for everyone. by Saundra Hendricks All New!
