A 1982 law called the Solomon Amendment states that students must register for the draft in order to receive financial aid. To enforce P' the law, the U.S. Department of Education in 1983 said that star.:~ r?n ino< n-.A 9' ling in iaii9 i 70.;, aiu wificers would have to verify if ITIi students were telling the truth when they claimed to be registered, and then would have 6C to deny aid to those who lied. Last week a former Yale student, David Wayte, who publicly refused to sign military registration forms, was sentenced to six months of house arrest by a lo judge. With this new process, the st government won't have to be in- w volved in the punishment w process. th University officials predicted A massive administrative bot- m tlenecks, and complained the re government was making them do something they weren't equipped to do. Federal officials have no c< idea of the administrative pro- ci blems it will cause, said one of- h ficial at the time. "Validating each one of the students will be very difficult," the official said. ti s!

The verification regulation p has been watered down, and is no a longer much of a conccrn. s Education officials agreed to F let aid officers off the hook after they sampled student responses to the draft registration query on f aid applications, and determined i 90 to 95 percent of students were | telling the truth. s I Tli* it the student news- I I paper of the University of South Carolina and ia publiahed three times a week on i Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the fall and spring semesters and weekly on Wednesdaya during both aummer aeaaiona, with the exception of university i holidaya and examination periods.

The program was sponsored by Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, which has more than 500 chapters throughout North America and around the world. Through the aid of satellite technology the teleconference was broadcast in 28 other locations throughout the continent. The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon that is caused when incoming solar short wave radiation is transformed into outgoing infrared radiation following contact with the Earth's surface. Most of this is unable to escape into space due to the presence of carbon dioxide and a few trace gases (methane, nitrous oxide, etc.) that act as a shield against which most of this outgoing heat fgfe "Need Ext i $15.00 On Fi] | Twice A Wei $$fc <1* ?P 5p | COLUMBIA PLA 1916 Taylc ' Columbia, South Phone 2i I OPEN 7 | 44Bring this Cou Short circuit 1 McBryde Jeri Rowe . * ' cha stant news editor a.m A fire caused by faulty wiring S 3ke out early Sunday morning thn a room on the Kappa Sigma dov iternity hall, causing minor ? toke damage to the entire hall.

The Arctic regions of the globe are also potential sources for increased quantities of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Enormous amounts of carbon are locked into much of the tundra to be found in these areas. However, the normally cold temperatures and layer of permafrost located beneath these regions prevent any bacteria from decomposing the peat and other organic matter. But Feller warns that "if the temperature increases enough to melt that permafrost, what that would do is expose that organic ma THE 2 BUCK Hat these parti 791-5007 7S * W.

In August, Education Secretary William Bennett personally heralded the department's newest tool to catch those who are not meeting their payments on federallyguaranteed 1 loanfc: 'the Internal A i Revenue Service wilt withhold tax ^ V refunds, beginning next year. Department officials quietly revealed the new default rate formula during the first week of September. \ The new formula includes two categories of loans previously not counted: loans in litigation and loans judged uncollectable. When those loans are added, the default rate for 1984 is 7.4 ^ percent, as compared to 3.3 percent under the old formula. The default rate jumps to 9.4 percent if loans in default that are eventually paid off also are included. I meeting material to bacterial decay." Consequently, some of this carbon would inevitably be released A in the atmosphere. In anv case, man must h*? h*?IH accountable for the most part since increases in carbon dioxide levels are primarily a result of his technological innovations. In fact, as of 1980, at least 90 percent of the energy needs of the United States came from fossil fuels. Only the remaining 10 percent came from hydro, nuclear, and geothermal energy sources. Carbon dioxide can also have startling effects on the size and growth rate of vegetation. , In controlled laboratory experiments stalks of wheat were made to grow much larger and faster than normal when Subjected to high levels of carbon dioxide. However, not all vegetation appear to respond in the same way to higher than normal levels of carbon dioxide. nnananm LUNCH IS BACK! 3 m CIPATING LOCATIONS Q w is* 1770 772-7224 J St. Main St. Andrews j C CmmmiI > j TUIS. aCTMlY I - - -*
