Jesse Helms sparred verbally with hecklers at a campaign rally Monday, at one point pushing a persistent questioner away from a microphone. About 100 supporters and a dozen hecklers greeted Jesse Helms as he kicked off the final week of campaigning in his bid for a fourth term. As Helms stood in the parking lot of a small office complex, supporters initially dragged away an abortion-rights protester who was carrying a sign for Helms' Democratic challenger, Harvey Ganu. Chemical spill poses little health threats JEFFERSON, S.C. ? The millions of gallons of water laced with sodium cyanide that spilled into the Lynches River pose little health or environmental threat, although residents should keep their animals from drinking it, slate health officials said. Biologists on Monday began searching through the river, its tributaries and nearby woods and fields for signs the spill had harmed fish, livestock or wildlife. Health and wildlife officials reported no fish kills in the waterways or problems with animals on shore. Cattle and other animals drink water from the river.

Flying Club lan Plane By TIGE WATTS Staff Writer The unauthorized purchase of a $23,500 airplane led to the temporary suspension of the USC Hying Club earlier this month, but former Flying Club officers claim they were tricked into a premature purchase. "The Hying Club has been a suspended organization due to the insufficient qualifications of their officers and their unauthorized entrance into contract negotiations," Dean of Student Life Jerry Brewer said.

The Energy Research Foundation has long awaited this Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement "Basically, for about the last 10 years, we and a lot of other groups around the country have tried to get change brought about in the nuclear weapons complex because, depending on the facility, for about the last 30 or 40 years all the facilities in the country have operated in complete secrecy," said Brian Costner, director of the Energy Research Foundation. 'They didn't have to follow any of the laws that other industry had to follow," he said. The PEIS statement was prompted by a lawsuit filed in June 1989 by 22 citizen groups, including ERF. Federal law states the government must involve the public in an evaluation of actions that might significantly affect the environment. In January, Energy Secretary " James Watkins said the Department of Energy would prepare two PEIS's, one on environmental I management within the nuclear weapons complex and the other on _ modernization of the complex's gelatin at P< uncheon Society.

The environmental management PEIS was begun on Oct. 22. The modernization PEIS should begin in the first quarter of 1991. It has been nearly two years since citizen groups asked DOE to prepare this study, and the cornerstone of the environmental management PEIS being the department's five-year plan, much public participation and support has diminished. Beth McKay, facilitator for USC's Students Allied for a Greener Earth, believes that students should get involved. "We need to have a say in what is going on. This has to do with our future, our children's children's future," she said. "The effect of these nuclear weapon waste sites is so incredibly detrimental to us. We must stand up and say what we want for the future of our environment." SAGE is gathering students to attend a hearing concerning the nuclear weapons complex and is writing letters on behalf of the cause, McKay said. Interested citizens, independent experts, private industry and government officials will be given the opportunity to suggest to DOE what issues should be considered in the PEIS. DOE is obligated to consider all comments received during a specified period, using these comments See HEARINGS page 2 [)Iice Club society used the property with pern of the Police Club, a private organ made up of Columbia police per.
