  • Volume 56 Number 3 News The Western Carolinian Page 2 Monday. August 27, 1990 Students Ask U. Rochester to Close 'Dangerous' Building ROCHESTER, N.Y. (CPS) - About 24 University of Rochester students picketed a freshman orientation session August 1, hoping to embarrass administrators into closing Littimore Hall, which they say may be polluted with some sort of cancer-causing agent. Ten building employees in 11 years have been diagnosed with a form of lymphoma. Repeated tests have failed to reveal any carcinogenic agent loose in the building. Students waved a banner reading "Prove It's Safe Or Close It Down" and handed out leaflets to freshmen and parents as they arrived for orientation classes. They wanted independent tests of the building, which before being gutted and remodeled, housed chemistry labs and storage areas. Administrators' Businesses Upset Students At Texas, Vanderbilt (CPS) - The Howlers, a group of University of Texas students, has asked UT President William Cunningham to resign from the board of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. because the company's Indonesian subsidiary allegedly has polluted rivers and supported the Indonesian government's repression of citizens who protest the polluting. "We call on UT to sever all ties to Freeport-McMoRan and the military dictatorship of Indonesia," grad student George Klos explained. Cunningham, however, issued a statement refusing to resign. Separately, the Black Student Alliance and some faculty supporters at Vanderbilt University in Nashville called on 24 of the school's 59 trustees to resign from the Belle Meade Country Club, which has no black members. One of the trustees, Hall Thompson, also is president of the segregated Shoal Creek Country Club in Birmingham, Ala. Thompson prompted an advertiser boycott of the PGA Golf Championship played at Shoal Creek when he said the club "would not be pressured" into accepting black members. Community College Enrollment Up, But Number Of Degrees Falls WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) - Nearly 4.9 million students attended two year colleges in 1988, an increase of 21 percent in just 10 years, but the schools awarded 5 percent fewer associates degrees than in 1978, the American Council on Education (ACE) reported. ACE researcher Deborah Carter noted only a third of the students at two- year campuses enroll intending to transfer to a four-year college. She did not speculate why the number of associate degrees has fallen. High School dropout rate 'greatly exaggerated' WASHINGTON (CPS) - One of four Americans drop out of high school, but "about half of them eventually return to some kind of classroom and complete their studies," contended Michael McLaughlin August 13 in a study for the conservative Heritage Foundation. The report said the widely reported "dropout crisis" is greatly exaggerated," resulting from inconsistencies in the ways states report their dropout rates. "In truth," McLaughlin said, "this is not the dropout rate at all. It merely is the rate if those not graduating 'on time.'" Courtesy College Press Service Solid waste management: A cooperative effort Multi-county recycling initiative takes regional approach A new multi-county recycling initiative that takes a regional approach to solid-waste management will link 31 North Carolina counties in a marketing system for recyclable materials. The new project brings together six Appalachian regional councils, the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center and the N.C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources in an effort coordinated by Western Carolina University's Center for Improving Mountain Living (CIML). A $54,800 grant from the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Trust Fund, announced in Raleigh on July 26, provided a key piece of funding for the project. A companion proposal to further underwrite the project, endorsed by North Carolina Governor Jim Martin, is pending with the Appalachian Regional Commission. With an ambitious September 1991 target date, the project has established three goals, according to Thomas E. McClure, director of CIML's Economic Development Division. They are: — to establish a Regional Material Recovery and Marketing System, "Several groups have operational for at least two recy- been wrestling with the difficult clable materials and with strate- solid waste issue," said Bruce gies for at least two other materi- Boggs, director of the Regional als, that will serve as a state Economic Strategy Project model; (RESP). "Development of market —to provide a framework for channels for recyclable material regional coordination of solid- always surfaces as either the high- waste reduction and management est or one of the highest priorities." activities Frances C. Waser, chair- — and to prepare a collaborative man of the Regional Solid Waste reporton the lessons, conclusions Alternatives Committee and recommendations concern- (RSWAC) and a member of the Transylvania County Board of Commissioners, said "it became evident early on that marketing of our collected recyables would pose the most critical step in the recycling process. "Faced with rural, dispersed populations and few local companies using recyclables as raw material, our local governments are often forced to depend on markets outside the region and outside the state. Transportation costs are high, since relatively small amounts are collected and marketed independently by each local government," Waser said. Waser said the RSWAC believes that the multi-county marketing program for recyclables "will allow our counties and municipalities to more effectively pool resources and market the increasing amounts of recyclables collected in the region." Through the RESP, Western Carolina University's The project brings together six Appalachian regional councils, the N. C. Rural Economic Development Center and the N. C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources ing regional coordination of solid-waste reduction and man- agment. A $54,000 grant from the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Trust Fund provided a key piece of funding for the project. Center for Improving Mountain Living will provide overall project coordination, including convening project team meetings, maintaining records and managing contracts with consultants. CIML will be responsible for developing a regional market analysis. The regional council staff will coordinate the effort in each of its multi-county planning regions using its knowledge of indi vidual county waste streams, local recycling programs and materials brokers. Jackson County Commission Chairman Wayne Hooper said his support for the project is twofold. "As the county commission chairman of a rural mountain county facing the enormous costs of developing a landfill that will meet new regulations, I see increased recycling as the only short-term solution to the anticipated costs," Hooper said. North Carolina's 1993 recycling goal will require local governments to divert recyclable materials from their landfills and into the marketplace more effectively than under current practice. "I also support this project as the current president of the North Carolina County Commissions Association which is on record as being very supportive of multi-county approaches to dealing with the solid- waste problem. We must work together with other counties and regions to develop the economies of scale that will make a commitment to long-term recycling infrastructure development cost effective," Hooper said.
