C N. C. school receives
its largest grant ever
GREENSBORO, N.C. ? A
North Carolina university has received
an $18 million federal
grant to establish one of nine regional
educational centers in the
nation, officials said Thursday.
The University of North Car^
olina at Greensboro will estab"
lish the Southeastern Regional
Vision for Education center, with
a five-year contract from the
U.S. Department of Education.
In addition to North Carolina,
states using the center will include
Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi and South Carolina.
UNCG Chancellor William
Moran said the grant is the
largest ever received by the
school from the federal government
The regional center will be

S. C. to refuse waste
if deadline not met
South Carolina might no Ion

North Carolina if disposal facility
deadlines are not met.
If Gov. Carroll Campbell follows
through with the threat, it
would be the second time in two
years that the Laidlaw EnvironJ
i mental Services landfill in Sumter
County was closed to North
Carolina's waste.
"Unfortunately, there are some
in North Carolina who want to
keep their state clean and continue
sending waste to South
Carolina," spokesman Tucker
Eskew said.
Closure would leave North
Carolina few disposal options for
the 54,510 tons it currently ships
to South Carolina for disposals

One week ago today, Robert
Weathersbee left his home in Leesville
to take an exam for his English
101 class at USC.
He never made it.
"We haven't seen him since he
left (for class) that day, and we're
very worried about him," said
Thelma Patterson, the mother of
the biology/pre-med freshman.
He did not attend any of his
three Friday classes, and the last
time anyone hehrd from him was
Friday night, she said. "He called
his father in Virginia and said he
was in South Carolina," she said.
Weathersbee, 23, is 5-feet11-inches
tall and weighs about
210 pounds. He has short black

The former request was too

back to the university. It was too
broad to rank among their other
requests since there were no specific
projects listed, CHE Commissioner
Fred Sheheen said.
"USC-Columbia did not list any
specific plans. All their request
said was that the money would be

glasses and was last seen
wearing a white knit jacket, green
knit shirt, blue jeans and brown
docksiders.
He was driving a 1985 silver
four-door Dodge car with S.C.
plate number ZGD-908. His normal
route to Columbia was 1-20 to
Gervais Street, Patterson said.
The family has filed a missing
person report with the State Law
Enforcement Department and the
Leesville Police Department.
"Circumstances have indicated
that he might be in danger," SLED
Agent Laurie Varnadoe said.
