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.

Foote said he found that the stu
dents were interested in helping the
less fortunate when he was working
on a course project.
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.

, said he is happy to be helping some
one.
"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.

Groups differ in approach to acid rain solution
By NAN CRYSTAL ARENS
Collegian Staff Writer
The executive vice president of the Pennsylva
nia Coal Mining Association said yesterday he
does not believe any new clean air legislation is
needed to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions.
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-

tric generaltion. The surcharge would pay for 90
percent of the installation costs, Doman said.
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.
