Survey Finds Prevalent Belief In Aliens: A nationwide
poll of almost 1,500 people conducted by die national television
show "Dateline: USA" discovered more than 70 percent of those
surveyed believe there is life elsewhere in the universe.
Opinions were evenly divided as to whether the beings would be
hostile or friendly in the event that they visited Earth. Of the
respondents, 65 percent believed we'd be conquered during such a
visit, while 25 percent were confident of Earth's ultimate victory
over the invaders.
Apadiy to this question reached 10 percent. This number had no
opinion or felt diey "wouldn't be around" to find out how such a
confrontation would turn out.
As far as technology goes, 80 percent believed alien technology
would be more advanced than ours. After all, they reasoned, it
would have to permit them to travel across millions of light years in
space.
Producers of the show said three recent events inspired the survey:
the $100 million NASA/SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial
Intelligence) project, the new edition of L. Ron Hubbard's international
fiction bestseller "Battlefield Earth" and the release of the
film "Fire in the Sky," which depicts Travis Walton's account of
his abduction by alien beings.
Most of the people surveyed agreed alien beings would not "look
like us." Their exact description varied, ranging from pear-shaped
creatures to furry, talon-wielding giants to winged lizards.

* The purpose of the Earth Day

and businesses in the effort to preserve
the environment, according to
state parks spokeswoman Gloria

The Earth Day Marketplace will
also feature an environmental
songfest display of native state
wildlife. There will also be educational
programs on bat box building
and jobs in the energy resource
field.
"We wanted to bring together
business, clubs and organizations,"
Green said. "There are a lot of private
and public businesses trying to
preserve the environment. So many
times, the media presents the two
(conservationists and businesses) as
enemies, when they could actually
be friends."

[hey are too hazardous to go in
landfills. This waste collection day
will take household chemicals and
reuse or dispose of them safely.
"We're not disposing of everything.
If we can recycle or reuse it,
we'll do that first," DHEC spokeswoman
Jana White said. Chemicals
such as latex paint and pesticides^
will be reused.
DHEC is looking for items such
as fertilizer, brake fluid, pool
chemicals, antifreeze, oven cleaner,
kerosene and gasoline. They will
not accept commercial, industrial
or agricultural waste, explosives,
gas cylinders, smoke detectors or
radioactive waste. Syringes are the
only medical waste they will
accept.
vviuic >aiu uuiiaiuid miuuiu
materials in their original container
so that DHEC will know what the
chemical is and what they have to
do with it. Also, mixed chemicals
could produce toxic gas and be
harder to identify.
Co-sponsoring the waste collection
are the League of Women
Voters, the Governor's Division of
Natural Resources, the city of
Columbia and Richland and
Lexington counties. Several area
businesses such as Rose-Talbert
Paint. Mid-Carolina Steel and
