Students who are affected by the standard received notification with their award letters, he said. The Satisfactory Academic Progress standard was implemented at the end of last spring term, he said, and the federal regulations were recently clarified to require that students receiving aid be evaluated every semester, instead of every year. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average and continue accumulating credits "NOW has been both a product of the Women's Movement and a force Nature's Plus Vitamins 1111111111111111111111111111111111111101111111111111 Natural Smooth Peanut contributed over $1 million to candi dates that support women's rights now exist at the local, state and national levels, said Kathy Clark, secretary of the Women's Studies Program.

This over-fire technique has been used as an additional form of emissions control because oil and gas are considered to be clean-burn ing fuels, he said. Niemann said the over-fire tech nique is an attempt to stay within DER regulations, but the plant still will not comply with air standards until the new air-filtering system is connected. "It is important to remember that the major rebuilding of the plant in the 1970 s was designed to meet the Allegheny requirements, which were then considered the toughest in the nation, and to exceed the state re quirements at the time. But the stan dards have changed," Miller said. The Allegheny standards were the set of air quality control standards prior to the standards established by DER.

NO FRILLS or GIMMICKS. "The power plant has no equipment existing in it anymore that it had when the plant was built," Niemann said. The emission control project began with the completion of a 198-foot chimney in 1982 to replace the one now in use. The foundation was then laid for the building currently being completed, which will filter particles from the coal emissions. The chim ney and the "baghouse" will be com bined during the last phase of construction to allow the plant to meet state air quality standards. "The baghouse is like an over-sized vacuum cleaner," Niemann said. About 2,640 finely-meshed bags in the building will filter larger particles from the coal smoke that will then be released into the air through the new smokestack. When the state legislature allo cated funds for the pollution control project in .1980, University officials were quoted in The Centre Daily Times as saying that converting the system completely to coal would save $1 million annually on its oil bill. "Although the plant may be able to operate at lower cost with the new system, more coal means increased labor costs in addition to the occa sional cost of replacing the mesh bags for the baghbuse," Miller said. • o John 0' & Staff invite you to join us for our 50th Anniversary November 9,1983 0 from 10 a.m. till 2 am.
