There are right-wing activists, and there are left-wing activists. There are social activists and there are political activists. Carolina numbers about 40 "Environmental Activists" among its students and faculty. Scott Holsclaw, vice-president of ECO 70's, discussed some of the projects in which he and the other "ECO-activlsts" are involved. "One of the main projects we are working on is the proposed dredging of the Congaree River by the Harrison Sand Company.

Ten dishes were prepared by the international students. "The international students did a fantastic job with the cooking," said Barney Oliver, chairman of the International Committee. "The food was really good." Entertainment was presented by international and American formal avites students (if he isn't busted and taken to jail as an outside agitator first).

Student sa opera tes as "if a guy is trying to get into a window, he would see a uniformed officer, but he wouldn't recognize our men." said Howard Comen, director of the Student Safety Patrol. This briefly sums up the purpose of the patrol which began operations on Wednesday evening. Comen said the first few weeks of the patrol would concentrate on getting procedures down, but that the first night went "smoothly. " (Comen wished to stress the fact that the four men on the nocturnal patrols would walk the campus at random and that any specific routes would "defeat the purpose" of the plan.

This Is right in the middle of an area where 96 per cent of the striped bass in the river spawn. We found this out from the S.C.

"All the people sat and cringed as Peter attempted a magic act involving Dean Witten and a plastic bag of water," said Oliver. "We were just waiting to see Dean Witten appear soaking wet. For tunately the trick was a success." According to Oliver, another high point of the evening came during a Latin American singing performance. About twenty Latin American students became so envolved in the music they came up on stage and began singing and dancing. Also among the performers were several pianists and two people playing guitars fety patrol observer each evening from 8p.m. to 2 am. in two teams, one patrolling from the north side of Green St. and one patrolling from the South side of Green St. The patrols are equipped with walkie-talkies and flashlights. Comen said the patrols were only "extra eyes" for the police and that the patrol was to only observe and report to the police. Comen said "It's not much of a job, really. All we do is walk around." However, one reaction to the patrol Thursday evening was that of the lady at the South desk, "I think it is wonderful. I think it's one of the best things at the University" ging of Co iectives o Control Authority (PCA aren't the only ones against the dredging. according to Holzclaw. The Santee C'ooper Development Association is also opposed to the move. "An aim of ECO 70 is to force a public hearing on the dredging," Holzclaw said. "We've already had 20 of our members write letters to the Army Corps of Engineers requesting an open hearing. You see. Harrison Sand applied to the Army Corps of Engineers for permission to do the dredging. The Corps of Engineers can give clearance but it has to consult with state agencies involved.

McNair recently asked all state agencies to submit budgets showing how spending could be cut by 3 per cent or 6 per cent. The budgets are to be reviewed by the State Budget and Control Board which will make the decision on how to cut spending. A deficit of approximately $7.5 million is faced by the state for the past fiscal year. which ended June 30, and the deficit for the current year is projected at more than $8 million.

Morris will submit them to the State Budget and Control Board. All agencies were told to have the revised budgets to the board by Dec. 1.

Student activity funds are not included. One student-related project which is being affected is the renovation of the lounge for Horseshoe residents.
