Goodwill: By KIM BOWER Collegian Staff Writer Food, clothing and encouragement will be sent to a child overseas by residents of third floor Holmes Hall via Compassion International, a Christian charity organization. Scott Foote (junior-journalism), a resident there who now sponsors a child, said the cost to sponsor a child for one year is $250. The amount can be paid in one sum or in installments of $2l per month Foote said he was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm shown by the students in the dormitory. . " ‘ lt was a real joy to see students like me who really eared," he said. If there is enough interest, the floor may support two children, Foote said. With' the number of interested contributors, the , individual cost would be less than $1 per month for one child, he said. #4444444444444444444444444444 . it ) IP - IPM (-- -- ) . - ; IPIP IF THIS IS IT, FOLKS!

Response was positive and most people felt:they could help a little but they did not know how to go about it, Foote said. When he told the students what he was doing, they encouraged him to ask others to help. "I basically explained to them that if they are willing to help, there are programs available in which we, as students, can significantly affect the life of a child," he said. John Gain (junior-pre-med), resi dent assistant for third floor Holmes, said he thinks this is the first time that the residents on a floor have participated in such a project. "I feel proud of the guys on the floor, that they've come through with thii," he said. Joe Silvano (sophomore-petroleum engineering), another floor resident, "magma You were created to be a success.

"I think I could spare a dollar or so a month. I feel I'm doing something good to help out someone less fortu nate than me," he said. Foote said the floor would like to set a precedent for other floors on cam pus. "I'd just like to see as many people as possible get involved in this kind of thing," he said. "It's an attitude of the heart." While sponsors may choose the sex and country of the child they want to help, the Holmes residents are letting the organization decide where the money is most needed, Foote said. Compassion Intetnational will later send a picture and biography of the child, he added. The men from the floor will be able to correspond with the child through translators. Foote said he thinks this is important because the children need encouragement in addition to money. About. 40,000 children starve to death every day and about 1,400 peo ple starve in the time it takes for the average person to eat dinner, Foote said. Besides the need for food assis tance in countries such as India, Pakistan and Indonesia, people in many other countries also need help with agriculture and building homes, he said. The significant difference between Compassion International and other organizations is that a person can support one specific child, Foote said. The money goes directly to the child for his or. her benefit. The organiza tion also emphasizes educating the child. Other charities such as World Vi sion give money to specific areas, giving many people immediate relief from famine and other urgent needs. ************************************************ *v * *... ,F,' Poll o ck .

Tony Ercole said, "We don't think there is any legislation needed because if the Clean Air Act is allowed to work, the sulfur dioxide emissions would be reduced." Ercole said his association does not support any current clean air legislation but wants more research. "Let's find out what the problem is before we go and spend money," Ercole said. "Why spend the money now when we don't know if it will correct the problem " Most environmentalists support the Waxman- Sikorski bill in the House of Representatives because it is the most viable in terms of delegat ing clean-up costs. The bill, introduced by Henry Waxman, D- Calif., Gerry Sikorski, D-Minn. and Judd Greg, D-N.H., is one of the proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act, Doman said. The Waxman-Sikorski bill calls for an overall reduction of 10 million tons of sulfur dioxide emissions within the next 10 years. By installing "scrubbers," devices which re move the sulfur dioxide from emissions before it enters the atmosphere, utility plants can reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions. Tom Doman, acid rain commission chairman for the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited, said "There is a broad-based coalition of environ mental groups supporting this acid rain legis lation." Doman said environmentalists cannot support legislation that does not call for immediate reductions in sulfur dioxide emissions. "(The acid rain problem) is only going to get worse if we put off installing scrubbers," Doman said. The specifications in the Waxman-Sikorski bill will not require the development of any new technology, Doman said. The reduction of 10 million tons of sulfur dioxide emissions can be achieved with available equipment. In 'addition, the bill would create federal funds levied from surcharges on all non-nuclear elec- Schools, businesses may benefit from tax credit BY DAN LEVINE Collegian Staff Writer Members of the state legislature are debating a unique bill that may allow Pennsylvania colleges and uni versities to receive needed equip= meet and service improvements through business contributions.

Doman said installing the scrubber devices in power plants would probably cost the average consumer an additional $lO-$l5 per year. According to a 1983 Harris poll, 70 to 80 percent of consumers were willing to pay $lOO in additio nal taxes to cover the cost of cleanup, Doman said. "I wonder if it would cost one MX missile or two to clean up the acid rain problem," Doman added. However, the bill does not include any provi sions for offsetting emissions from newly con structed utility plants, Doman said. If the legislation is enacted, power plants constructed in the future will have to comply with the stricter clean air standards by using the best available technology Parks said, "What we are supporting is that the states work (emissions controls) out. individual ly." If the states do not set up programs to comply with the Clean Air Act . guidlines, the federal government will set ‘ up a regulation program for them. A New England Caucus bill now in the House supplements the Waxman-Sikorski bill by calling for a 12 million ton emission reduc..tion. The bill mandates a 6.5 million ton 'reduction by 1990 with the remaining 5.5 million tons to be eliminated by 1993. The bill also exempts hydro electric generation from the surcharges to help pay for installation of anti-pollution, devices, Doman said. • Doman said many coal burning utilities claim they cannot reduce emissions by 50 percent with existing technology. At the Acid Rain 'B4 conference held in Man chester, N.H., in early, January, a member of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) said that power plants there had reduced emissions by 50 percent using existing technology. "TVA is a different animal when you're talking about utilities," Ercole said. The difference is that they are close to low sulfur compliance coal and are partially subsi dized by the federal government, he said. Nancy Parks, conservation chairwoman for the Moshannon group of the Sierra Club, said evnironmental groups do not support legislation nesses with a tax credit not to exceed 25 percent of the value of the contri bution made to schools, a prepared statement said. The statement also said no busi nesses could receive a credit exceed ing $250,000 in any year and the, program's total value would be capped at $2O million per year. "This legislation is a response to one of the most pressing needs of higher education," Cowell said. "The proposal should be considered riart of the state's comprehensive economic development effort " Cowell, chairman of the House sub committee on Higher EduCation. added that more adequate research and training are needed to' enhance the important role played by higher education in economic development. Philip Murphy, director of the sub committee, said response to the bill has been positive. The legislation was that calls only for more research and no controls. "I don't think we need any more research without controls to slow the (acid) deposition down," Doman said. In Pennsylvania, the second largest producer of sulfur dioxide, Gov. Dick Thornburgh pro posed a five million ton sulfur dioxide emission reduction to the Coalition of Northeastern Gover nors (CONEG) Conference in 1983, Doman said. Thornburgh cast the only opposing vote at the conference which proposed a sulfur dioxide emis sions reduction of 10 million tons by 1990. Doman said these recommendations could hurt Pennsylvania in the long run because the five million ton reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions 'could be achieved through fuel switching - and' coal washing alone. Fuel switching, the use of low sulfur coals from other areas in place of high sulfur Pennsylvania coal, could cause massive job losses in the Pennsylvania mining industry, Doman said. Doman called fuel switching the "least cost effective method" for achieving any sulfur diox ide emission reduction. The damage to the local economies caused by mining layoffs are "all the more reason to use other measures," Doman said. Coal washing removes inorganic sulfur from the coal, Doman said. This process, which can remove up to 25 percent of the total sulfur content in coal, is cost effective for utilities only because they do not pay for the shipment of the additional inorganic sulfur. Doman said sulfur which is present as part of the organic coal molecule can not be removed before combustion. _ . _ If Pennsylvania reduces its sulfur dioxide emissions by 5 million tons through coal washing and fuel switching, Doman said ; the utilities could suffer economically in the long run if stricter reductions become necessary. Utilities would then be forced to scrap their existing equipment in favor of scrubbers and other sulfur dioxide emissions reduction equip ment, he said. • Nancy Parks said, "You don't have t 6 lose jobs in Pennsylvania and if you do it is the fault of not (using the proper clean-up methods). "We think it is absolutely necessary.to mine coal cleanly.and burn coal cleanly and that's how we'll save jobs (in Pennsylvania)." sponsored by 25 percent of the House. Murphy said the bill began in re sponse to the problems of many 'stu dents being trained with obsolete equipment who are unprepared for jobs that emphasize new technology. "(The bill) will give us a chance to let these institutions receive the bene fits at a much less expensive cost and it will give businesses the incentives to revamp their equipment while also receiving a tax break," he said.
