A16 Asbury Park PressMon. Nov. 9, 1981 Fledgling marine school fighting for survival Atlantic City Notebook o-V Students who are not involved in ROTC work on individualized studies, while the other students take their military-oriented courses, Niles explained. Money to finance the pilot program so far about $150,000 has come from the ESC budget and several small grants. The local school districts have not had to pay anything.

Niles said he has written to Education Commissioner Fred G. Burke to see if money from the state could bail MAST out, but he has not gotten a reply yet. "Our last resort will be to go to the individual boards," Niles said. But he is afraid the high schools would pull out of the program rather than pay for their students. The schools also are faced with their own money problems.

Shore and Red Bank regional high out the school year. Niles said if the program could last until June, the facilities could be used for other programs too, in the future, such as for special education, technical training for new people in marine trades and upgrading the skills of persons already in the marine industry. Niles also suggested the facilities and study areas could be used for school field trips at little cost to the school districts and perhaps summer camp-type programs. "We are down to the critical point now. We either make it or we don't," the director said.

FREEHOLD The Marine Academy of Science and Technology, in its infancy this year under sponsorship of the Monmouth County Educational Services Commission, is looking for a philanthropist. Known to its 53 students from 18 high schools in Monmouth County by its acronym, MAST, the school on Sandy Hook is on the brink of going under.

The costs of running the specialized program have exceeded the $150,000 budget and $50,000 is needed to offset an impending deficit, said Thomas Niles, director of the evening high school and continuing adult education aspects of the ESC. "We have been talking with Brookdale (Community College, Middletown Township) to get more involved in the future. (President B.A.) Barringer has expressed an interest but as of yet we have no commitment," Niles said. "We are just trying to figure out how to survive at this point." The program is similar to vocational high school courses in that high school students attend their local regular school for half a day and attend MAST for 2 hours in the afternoon on what is known as a shared-time basis. The courses are a hands-on approach to marine trades and marine sciences.

A 74-foot teaching-research vessel, docked at the Coast Guard station on Sandy Hook, is on loan to MAST from the Navy. Niles explained it is one of two training vessels for high school students in the country. The other is in California. The vessel is used in a Reserve Officers Training Corps program. Facilities owned by the Army's 78th Division from Fort Monmouth have been donated for the classes.

The Marine Sciences Consortium, a group founded by New Jersey colleges which joined together to share money, facilities and staff for marine studies, helps out by lending some teachers and classrooms on Sandy Hook, Niles said. iiiiiii iiwii -'it V-rV fiiiniM -in'fr schools withdrew from the program before it even got off the ground because of the uncertainty of whether MAST would last By JOHN RAYMOND Press Staff Writer Employee parking CASINO EMPLOYEES should be allowed to park in city parking lots and shouldn't be shuttled back and forth from the satellite lots in the median strip on the Atlantic City Expressway, according to a local businessman. Local businesses are being hurt and will continue to suffer as long as the employees are required to park outside the city, according to Burt Bennett, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. Bennett claims most of the city's public parking lots which can park more than 30,000 cars daily are either closed or doing minimal business. Bennett, who owns three parking lots, said his own business is "virtually dead" and is doing only 20 percent of the business it did two years ago.

"I totally agree that ultimately satellite parking might be the way to go, but not now, because nobody's in town to shop," he said. The use of satellite parking lots for casino employees has been endorsed by the Atlantic County Transportation Board, which is "ignoring the existing business community," Bennett said.

Weid-ner, the new president of the Sands Hotel and Casino, had nothing but praise for the commission's recent decision allowing the Sands to hold a gambling tournament next month.

The tournament will be held in four games blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat and offer $90,000 in prize money. Weidner said the commission's decision which came after the Sands agreed not to charge an entrant's fee was "a major breakthrough" for the casino industry here. The Sands tournament will be held from Dec. 13 to 18 the week before Christmas and traditionally the slowest week of the year for the industry, Weidner said. Arson ads The 30-second radio ad begins: "Businessmen: Have you ever thought about burning your building for the insurance money, to make relocation a little easier, to get rid of a surplus of unwanted stock? "A word of advice: don't do it.

Why? For one thing, it's a crime. For another, there's a good chance you'll be caught Local radio listeners are getting an earful these days on the subject of arson as a result of a provocative ad campaign designed to reduce the resort's growing number of arsons. The radio ads from 10 seconds to a minute are aimed at businessmen, investors or the individual "sick arsonist," said Fire Department spokesman John W. Brenner. The ad campaign, which began last month during Fire Prevention Week, has prompted anonymous tips to the department's Arson Task Force as well as responses from fire departments in other areas of the country, he said.

THE DECISION by the Casino Control Commission giving Resorts International permission to hold a $250,000 craps tournament may be challenged by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement. "We have one single reservation: does the tournament constitute a lottery?" said Deputy Director Guy S. Michael.

He explained that Resorts' plan to charge tournament players a $250 entry fee turns the event into a lottery under state statute.
