Interview?? r rom Thurmond advised the recycling of crankcase oil which, he said, causes 28 percent of the oil pollution in U. S. lakes, rivers and ultimately the ocean. ?? A lrt'UlCl . * ? nnvc<nc<Li; 1 ilium we win nave to become energy independent. I am terribly concerned that half of our oil is controlled by foreign countries that have already cut us off once. According to Ravenel, it was the participation of Venezuela in the oil embargo that hurt the U. S. the most. Canada, the other major supplier, did not participate, he said. Ravenel also said other energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric and solar should be researched and develoDed. GAMECOCK: The major source of oil pollution and oil waste, the regular off-shore cleaning of ballast tanks and holds, occurs frequently and according to environmental geologists is not strictly forbidden. What would you like to see done about this? THURMOND: I think a stricter inspection of ships ought to be enforced. Steps have got to be taken to stop ships from dumping that oil in the ocean. It's a pollutant and it's a waste. RAVENEL: I think that the tankers and oil companies should not be allowed to flush their tanks. The tankers should be made to store this waste in tanks nn chnro Ravenel added that he is very ecology-conscious. He said he opposed the Richard B. Russell Dam for "ecological reasons" and that he is in favor of Tidelands legislation. GAMECOCK: What will be the effect of the labor reform bill on the South? RAVENEL: I support the bill. I think the rules applying to government activity during union time need some changing. The sole purpose of the bill is to tighten up the violations of some corporations (concerning unionization) Student attl Pizza1 Each Wedn< Spaghetti ?

It will allow union solicitation on company time. This bill tilts heavily towards the union side. It is an effort by the unions to recoup numerous losses. GAMECOCK: Who will be hardest hit by tax inflation? What do you propose as a solution? THURMOND: Tax inflation hurts everybody. In the last 18 years they've (U. S. House and Senate) only balanced the budget once. We are going to have inflation as long as we spent more than we take in. And as long as we have inflation we're going to have inflationary taxes. I'm going to continue to work to get a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget. . Inflation increased over 7 percent this year . It especially hits those on fixed incomes, retirement and social security. RAVENEL: The tax reform bill will not affect people on a low fixed income. The tax reform bill is for the wage-earner. We have a new kind of inflation ? stagflation. I have a five point plan including points to balance the budget, decrease oil and gas prices and pass a no net cost increase which would prevent Congress from passing such legislation for two years. I'd like to see the end of indexing ? that in itself is inflationary.

What do you think about the present rate of expenditure per capita for higher education? RAVENEL: I think we should hold higher education at the present rate of expenditure.
