Abstract:
Over 340,000 migrant workers, mostly Hispanic, labor on farms across the state. Exposure to pesticides, low pay, poor housing, unsanitary water, and long hours are some of the conditions workers deal with. For the agricultural industry, this cheap labor source has enabled it to rank second in the nation.

Abstract:
New schools buildings have evolved along with urban sprawl, adopting a shopping mall format of a large building, over a thousand students, and a large parking lot, all sitting on forty acres. Educators and parents feel such schools have a different effect on students than smaller neighborhood ones. Harmon contrasts Raleigh's Underwood School, built in 1926 on Glenwood Avenue, with McDougle School, built in 1996 near Carrboro.
