NASA Lays Plans For Martian Moon Station

By Deborah Mesce

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - NASA is laying the groundwork to send the next generation of astronauts beyond the Earths orbit early in the 21st century, with missions to Mars and a space station on a Martian moon among the possibilities.

In a report released Monday, the

National Aerohautics and Space Administration said the nation must make a modest investment of resources during the 1990s to prepare the nation for a range of opportunities in space.

This ability is critical to United States leadership in space, said the report titled, Beyond Earths Boundaries: Human Exploration of the Solar System in the 21st Century.

The report examined several strategies for exploring the inner reaches of the solar system, including establishing a manned lunar observatory, setting up a space station on the Martian moon Phobos or sending astronauts to the red planet itself early in the next century^

The ambitious blueprint addresses President Reagans directive on space policy issued last January. The directive sets as a long-range

goal to expand human presence and activity beyond Earth orbit into the solar system.

Frank Martin, assistant administrator of NASAs Office of Exploration, said theres every indication the Bush administration will support that policy.

The underpinnings of any strategy to send space explorers to the moon and beyond in the next two decades will be increased NASA funding for

development of new technology, life sciences research, unmanned robotic missions, development of a new fleet of launch vehicles able to lift heavier loads, and continued commitment to Space Station Freedom, which is planned for Earth orbit in the mid-1990s.

If those conditions are met, the United States could send astronauts to Phobos in 2003 or to Mars in 2007 or establish by 2005 a lunar base

from which astronauts could build a Mars outpost in 2015, said John Aaron, who headed the Office of Exploration during production of the report.

Aaron said the agency has not developed reliable cost estimates for the missions studied in the report. We are not talking about missions that are cheap," he said, but we

Peace Minister Gets Nod

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) Prime Minister Ranasinghe Premadasa, vowing to halt ethnic violence on this Indian Ocean island, was elected president with slightly more than half the votes, the government said today.

Earlier today, Sinhalese extremists hacked and shot to death nine supporters of Premadasas governing United National Party in a town east of Colombo, police said.

The politics of terror has no place in the temple of democracy, Premadasa said in a televised address immediately after the announcement. I will eradicate fear and suppresion. I will restore law and order.

Premadasa received 50.4 percent of the vote in Mondays election, edging former Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike of the opposition Sri Lanka Freedom Party, according to Commissioner of Elections Chandrananda de ilva.

Premadasa has vowed to remove controversial Indian peacekeeping troops when he takes over Sri Lankas most pciwerful government post Jan. 2 for a six-year term.

As promised, outgoing President Junius R. Jayewardene today dissolved Parliament and called new legislative elections for Feb. 15. He ordered an islandwide curfew to take effect after the official election resultswere announced.

I particularly wish to ask, to appeal, to those who belong to the winning side, to treat your opponents who have lost with friendship, affection and love, he said.

With all 182 polling districts counted, Premadasa had 2,569,199 votes, or 50.4 percent, compared with 2,299,770, or 45 percent for Mrs. Bandaranaike, the election commissioner said.

The remaining votes went to a leftist coalition candidate, Ossie Abeygoonesekera. The turnout was 55 percent, well below the nationwide rate of 80 percent inthe 1982 presidential election as a campaign of imitidation by extremists apparently kept many people at home.

Shoppers Gobbling Up Nintendo Games

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR ^ -

Searching, stampeding, bargaining, camping out - you cant do too much to get a Nintendo electronic game for your children or for yourself this Christmas.

The clammering for Nintendo reached a crescendo in Greenville last week as about 150 people stampeded the electronics department of Brendles and swooped up 60 sets of the game in three minutes.

We had another special truckload this past Saturday of Power Set, which is a $150 unit, said Preston Blanchard, sales

representative at Brendles. They were sold out in 45 seconds.

The electronic game, which is used with the television set, is a hot item this Christmas, becorn-ing almost impossible to find in the last shopping days.

The game is packaged in three ways at varying prices, Blanchard said. A control deck, a game and two controllers are in the $79.97 edition, while the Action Set features two game cartridges and the zapper gun in addition to^the control deck. It sells for $99.97.

The Power Set, selling for $149.97, includes three game car-

UNICEF Says Debt

Off Children

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI, India - More than half a million children died in 16 developing nations last year because their debt-burdened governments have had to cut back on social spending, UNICEF said today in its annual report.

UNICEF Executive Director James P. Grant called for a world summit to save an estimated 3 million children who he said die each year from easily preventable diseases.

Formally releasing the report during a worldwide telecast, he said leaders of industrialized and developing nations should participate in the summit.

Grant said cuts in social spending have led to problems that overshad

ow substantial progress made by most developing nations in health and education in the past decade.

Three million children died last year because they didnt have 50 cents worth of vaccine in them, Grant told a televised news conference relayed to 40 countries. He said 1.5 million of these deaths occurred in South Asia.

Grant said he proposed the summit because the way to reach the victims is to first reach their lead-

6FS.

In the UNICEF annual report, The State of the Worlds Children 1989, Grant cited the debts incurred by developing nations and said: By far, the heaviest consequences are being borne by the children.

Throughout most of Africa and much of Latin America, average in

comes have fallen by 10 percent to 25 percent in the 1980s, the report says. In the 37 poorest nations, per capita spending on health has dropped by 50 percent and on education by 25 percent over the last few years, it adds.

Children are facing the worst of times and potentially the best of times. It is the worst of times because 35 years of progress is being threatened by faling commodity prices, mismanagement and the debt crisis, Grant told rep()rters in New Delhi before releasing the report.

A country can do incredible things .with a small amount of money as long as the economy holds together. When a countrys economy starts having trouble, the children

are always the ones who will suffer the most, he said.

Ten deeply indebted Latin American and Caribbean nations and six in Africa have experienced a slowing down in the reduction of mortality in children under age 5 from 1980 to 1987, compared with the 1970s.

For these 16 countries alone, the number of child deaths in the last 12 months is approximately 650,000 more than would have been the case if the 1970-80 rate of decline in under-five mortality had continued, said Grant.

He said the majority of these deaths are related to the slowing down or reversal of the development process during the 1980s, which is a result of unprecedented borrowing, rising interest rates, falling com

modity prices, inadequate investment of borrowed funds, and the domestic and international management of the resulting debt crisis.

According to the UNICEF report, the developing world is now transferring $20 billion a year more to the rich nations than it receives in new aid and loans. Developing nations owe an estimated $1.2 trillion to private banks, development funds, and other countries.

At the beginning of the 1980s, less than 5 percent of the Third Worlds children were immunized and diseases such as whooping cough, measles and tetanus killed up to 5 million children annually, the report says.

N.C. Low-Level Radioactive Waste Authority

Unshaded areas show potentially suitable areas to host the low-level w aste disposal facility

Time Big Factor In Hunt For Waste Site

By John Bare

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Out of North Carolinas 52,000 square miles of red clay and rolling hills, state officials are trying to find one square mile suitable to host a disposal site for low-level radioactive waste.

The North Carolina Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Authority is overseeing the site selection, and the state agency has hired Ebasco Services Inc. of Greensboro to conduct the screening process.

Nearly two-thirds of the state has already been eliminated from con

sideration, Ebasco officials said Monday night at an educational meeting in Greenville. The company now plans to consider how close potential sites are to highways, the geological stability of the sites and their distance from natural and cultural resources.

North Carolina, a member of the eight-state Southeast Compact Commission, has been selected as the second state in the compact to host the site. The facility is set to open Jan. 1, 1993, when the Barnwell, S.C., facility is scheduled to close after 20 years of operation. The North Carolina facility will dispose of radioactive waste generated by civilian means such as hospitals.

utilities and laboratories. It is to serve the compact for 20 years.

At Monday nights meeting in the Willis Building, Joseph Pitt, a Tar-boro businessman and one of the 15 authority members, said the groups biggest constraint is time. Less than 20 people attended the meeting, including representatives from Ebasco, the authority and companies bidding on the facility.

The authority was formed in August 1987, and it will soon select either Westinghouse of Pittsburg, Pa., or Chem/Nuclear of Barnwell, S.C., to operate the facility. The contract is to be awarded by Jan. 31, 1989, and Pitt said the authority plans to hire contractors to assist in

evaluating the bids, which involves paperwork several inches thick. The companies are bidding to construct and operate the facility over 20 years, and the bids are multimillion dollar packages, he said.

We are hiring contractors to help us in the negotiating process, Pitt said. We are looking at it through our own technical committee, our own finance committee and through our external relations committee, as far as the public participation end of it.

Crystal Stowe, director of public information for the authority, said the agency is close to signing a contract with a company that will assist injlhe bideval" ition.

We are looking for technical expertise, legal expertise and people from the business sector who have negotiated contracts .of this size and nature before, Ms. Stowe said. There aren't any resources that weve been able to identify within state government where they have worked on a contract of this size before.

According to its own timetable, the authority must select two potential sites by Aug. 1,1989, in order to perform a yearlong battery of tests to determine the best site. The final site is scheduled to be selected Nov. 15.1990.

Time Is Factor In Site Search

(Continued from A-1)

Much public opposition arose earlier this year when Edgecombe County officials considered volunteering for the site in order to benefit from an incentive package the state has said it will offer the host area. Edgecombe officials did not volunteer, but Pitt said the authority still expects some areas to ask for the facility .

Volunteerism is a very important part of our process, Pitt said, adding that the authority will probably be offering an open-ended package to the host site. The authority expects two to three areas to volunteer, he said.

We think its going to be a very safe, a very beneficial industry for that area, Pitt said. Hopefully, by the end of our process, yes, there will be volunteers. Were going to actively seek that.,

Fred Snyder, a representative of Ebasco, said phase I of the screening process has been completed, and 62 percent of the state has been eliminated from consideration.

In phase I, Ebasco considered factors which, under state and federal law, would prevent a site from hosting the facility. The company considered areas likely to floo(l, rivers and swamps, public drinking

supplies, water table levels, population density, takes and scenic rivers, national and state parks and forests and military reservations.

Using a sophisticated system with an overhead projector linked to a computer, Snyder showed exacty what areas of the state have been eliminated from consideration. All counties along the eastern border of the state have been virtually elim-nated from consideration because of their proximity to water.

Except for urban areas around Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem, there are many potentially suitable sites remaining in counties as far east as Pitt County and as far west as McDowell County-

All of central Pitt County, including Greenville, has been eliminated from consideration.

The Greenville meeting was one of six scheduled across the state this month, and Pitt and Ms. Stowe emphasized that several more meetings will be held next year and public input is encouraged.

Ebasco is set to begin screening the remaining suitable regions -about 38 percent of the state to identify smaller areas that may include exact sites, according to the authoritys newsletter. Spectrum.

Once these small areas are identified, Ebasco plans to narrow the field by detailing specific features of particular sites, such as weather conditions, surface and groundwater movement and background radiation.

Once at least two possible sites are selected, a yearlong series of tests will be performed on air quality and samples from soil, water, rocks and plants from the area. The date must be gathered over at least one year to account for seasonal changes.

According to state and federal regulations, the site must be located away from floodplains and must be well-drained with good run-off. The water table at the site must be at least 7 feet beloW the surface of the ground, Snyder said, and must be located at least 1,000 feet from drinking water wells.

The site must be at least 1.25 miles from any population center, he said. Population centers are defined as incorporated borders of towns, urbanized extensions designated by the U.S. Cense Bureau and other populated areas designated by the bureau.

Donations For Home Residents Fall Short

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Some adults in rest homes and nursing homes may miss the merriment of the season as Christmas contributions for purchasing their gifts and for providing seasonal activities for them have been low this year.

Peggy Chandler, chief of services at the Pitt County Department of Social Services, told board members Monday that only about $150 has been given to purchase gifts for those in the homes.

This is our most neglected area in the receiving of Christmas contributions, she said during the boards monthly meeting.

In other areas. 45 families and 152 individuals have been served thus far in the families with minor children category, while 139 families

and 239 individuals have been served in the elderly and disabled category.

More than $5,000 has been collected to buy toys and clothes for children, while $2,500 was contributed for the foster childrens Christmas party.

The Social Services Department will continue taking Christmas contributions through Thursday, Ms. Chandler said.

In other matters, board attorney E(i Harper said Jennie Dorsett, a staff attorney with the N.C. General Assembly, sent him a draft of proposed legislation that would require parents who abuse and neglect their children to participate in treatment as a condition of having custody of the children.

The board agreed to consult with state Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr. to decide the next course of action for having the legislation presented to

the General Assembly when it convenes in 1989.

The Commodities Distribution Program served only about 2,000 people - half of its usual clients -during the distribution of butter, flour, corn meal and dry milk at the National Guard Armory last week, Debbie Ryals, eligibility director, said.

People that did come, really, all they wanted was the butter, she said. Many of the products were sent back to the state.

The feedback we get is that the flour and cornmeal are just awful, Mrs. Ryals said, describing the grains of the products as coarse.

The first commodity distribution in 1989 is expected to be in March where commodities may include canned pork, peanut butter, raisins and powdered eggs.

Mrs. Ryals also reported that heating oil vendors are about two

Planner Says Land Use Plan Will Be Ready By Mid-1989

By Stuart Savage

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The development of a land use plan for Pitt County is moving forward and a program of work for the countys solid waste task force has been developed, members of the Pitt Board of County Commissioners were told Monday.

In a report to the board. County Planner Jeff Ulma said a planning board schedule calls for the adoption of the land use plan by mid-1989.

Ulma said the background and inventory phase of the work has been completed and said the goals and objectives phase of the work should be completed in March, with a draft plan and policies document completed and ready for review and public input April and May.

Mike Esarey, chairman of tbe solid waste task force, reported to commissioners that the program of work for the first half of 1989 calls for the group to find a new landfill site, begin a study of alternative waste management systems, and develop a public education programs on waste disposal.

Esarey said the task force hopes to have a new landfill site located by June, after developing criteria for a site and means of rating various sites.

In other business Monday, commissioners heard Andy McLawhorn complain of noise, odors and other problems associated with the storage of 500,000 bushels of corn on property adjacent to his house at Renston by Fred Webb Inc. of Greenville.

McLawhorn said that since the grain was moved to the site in October 1987, noise from large fans operated at the site, the smell of rotten corn and other conditions associated with the storage of the grain have created problems for his family and others in the area.

After showing a video tape of the problem, describing the noise levels created by the fans, and saying I cant sleep at night when the fans re running, McLawhorn asked for assistance from the board in solving the problems.

Comnfiissioners asked Chief Deputy Sheriff Brooks Oakley, who attended the meeting, to assist McLawhorn and see if the problem can be solved through enforcement of the countys noise ordinance.

When possible, the department is providing space heaters and wood as alternative heating methods until oil orders can be filled.

The department will be processing applications for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program through Jan. 6, Mrs. Ryals said.

There were 771 calls received in the Child Protective Services program this year, Ms. Chandler said. About 141 of those were not substantiated referrals.

Well probably get 30 to 35 more before the year ends, she said.

The department currently has overspent its budget by .78 of a percent, Lois Gray, administrative officer, said. She said 57 percent of the state and county funds in the budget have been spent, while 55 percent of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children budget has been spent. About 53 percent of the Medicaid budget has been spent. More expenditures are expected in that budget when the Catastrophic Health Care bill takes effect in January.

The department has overspent its budget in the the long-term care program, but compensation will be made with the Medicaid reimbursements, Mrs. Gray said.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) -Former Durham lawyer Timothy E. Oates, who called himself a broken man, was.sentenced to 50 months in prison and fined $10,000 for his role in a cocaine conspiracy in Durham. A date of Feb.'l was set for Oates to report to federal prison.

Im convinced well all have to be in the hereafter sooner or later, Oates said Monday in a quavering voice before Judge Richard C. Erwin in U.S. Middle District Court.

When my Judgment Day comes, the real Judgment Day, I pray it will be said I made the world a better place while 1 was here, Oates said, adding that he already had been through hell.

Oates pleaded guilty in September to using a telephone in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine and other charges.

Trains Route Travels Into Future

The Carolina Association for Passenger Trains has taken on goals that decidedly lack public interest today but will be a necessity for the future.

The group met here recently, but only a handful of passenger train enthusiasts were on hand. The goal is real train passenger service in North Carolina service that fills a need. The organization wants a Raleigh to Charlotte route resumed and it sees passenger train service to the east as feasible in the future.

How can that be, with airline passenger service growing by leaps and bounds in North Carolina? How can trains compete when everyones greatest desire is the ownership of one or more cars, when we demand the construction of more roads to make travel by car ever more convenient?

Certainly the outlook is not very promising. Once trains were dominant as the way to travel in North Carolina. The tracks one sees now in Eastern North Carolina as well as some that no longer exist carried regular passenger trains. There was no commercial air service and as autos came along there were few roads for them.

Gradually, however, cars and planes took away rail passenger business. Today only the north-south trains are still operating through our state.

The question is how long can society afford the cost of individual autos and plane travel? The airways are saturated with commercial aircraft. We fight a losing battle in building enough highways to accommodate the ever swelling number of vehicles which take to the highways. Road building is becoming incredibly expensive and just the cost of insurance for autos threatens to sky rocket. Someday the petroleum which powers our vehicles is going to run out.

Trains, if not as convenient, are the most efficient way to move people about and the time will come when we will have to look to rails once again to provide mass transportation. Thats not nostalgia ... it is only a look at the future.

Public Forum

To the editor:

Chuck Dickens was pretty peeved when he and his wife, Catherine, left England for Boston on Jan. 4,1842. He had suffered a considerable loss of income because of the pirating of his literary works in the United States. When he returned to England in June, perhaps that anger was one of his motives for writing American Notes, published Oct. 18, 1842, which Martin Chuzzlewit, completed in July 1844. If he was angry then because of lost income, he would be furious today (if he wasnt dead).

His work titled Christmas Carol, published in December 1843, still appears to be responsible for more retail sales at this time of year than all the, endless efforts of advertisers combined. After all, who hasnt been threatened with the label scrooge if they appear unwilling to shoulder the yoke that the rest of so-called Christendom willingly assumes. And, although the spirit of Old St. Nick is a welcome houseguest on Christ Mass,Eve, nobody wants to be visited by the ghost of Christ Mass past. If Charlie were alive today, he should get a cut right off the top of all retail sales during the Christ Mass Season.

Speaking of the Christ Mass season, I wonder why you dont see many anti-drug campaigns at this time of year since it is factual that religion is the opiate of the people. Perhaps the merry faces and all the good cheer comes from the abundance of the,kind .of dope (religion) thats dealt during the Christ Mass season. Its also interesting to note that drugs affect the mind and body for a limited time. Its beeo my observation that the holiday drug wears off immediately on the morning of Jan. 2. Perhaps people would be better off if they just said, No.

Stephen Harrison Greenville

To the editor: . . ,

A presidential advisory commission approved recommendations for pay . increases averaging 50 percent for the governments top 2,500 officials. And, with the no-vote procedure the pay raise automatically takes effect 30 days -later. When done thus, it is indeed stealthy.

With such action coming from our American leaders (representatives of their constituents), where is integrity? It is blatant irresponsibility considering:

1. the many workers on minimum and average wage levels who are striv- ; ing to make ends meet for themselves and their families

2. the deficit problem that affects each and every taxpayer 1

3. the insensitivity to the Christmas season and its meaning of caring and concern j

To me, such action is unreasonable, unacceptable and inexcusable. Where | do we draw the line? |

Not A Heartening AssessmentRay Jenkins

At a conference of editorial writers held last week at the University of Maryland, a ranking former Reagan Pentagon official gave a candid inside look at the $2 trillion spending binge on defense during the past eight years, and it was not an altogether heartening assessment.

The official was Lawrence J. - Korb, who served as a key assis-^ lant secretary of defense during ithe first five years of the Reagan

presidency. While he maintains : that we are better off in our defense posture than when Presi-

dent Reagan took office, he also readily acknowledges that the

immense outlay did not produce the results it should have.

A key reason, Korb said, was the Secreatary of Defense Casper Weinberger ran the Petagon pretty much the same way that Ronald Reagan ran the White Rouse; each was a hands-off manager. Weinberger, Korb said, operated much like the college president who said, I raise funds; someone else runs the university.

Particularly enlightening was

Korbs account of the policy decision to allow the Air Force to build both the B-1 bomber and the B-2, otherwise known as the Stealth. President Carter had cancelled the B-1 while secretly authorizing the development of the Stealth, which the Pentagon regarded as the better plane.

In the early high-level Pentagon discussions on bomber needs, Korb related, the Air Force, in supporting reinstatement of the cancelled B-1, misled Weinberger as to both the cost and the deliverability of the aircraft. We kept telling him. You cant trust the Air Force, Korb said. But Weinberger approved the production anyway while simultaneously authorizing continued development of the Stealth as well.

The result; When the Stealth prototype was unveiled a couple of weeks ago, all the money had been spent producing the decidedly inferior aircraft, the B-1. Now, in a time of severe budget constraints, there is virtually no chance that Congress will appropriate the $69 billion (assuming the Air Force is telling the truth this time) that would be required to build the 132 Stealths that the Air Force says it needs. On the contrary, Korb said, the

Air Force will be lucky if just to get the $8 billion that is needed to correct the manifold deficiencies in the B-1, which have become evident since the plane became operational.

Sen. Sam Nunn, the influential and respected Georgia Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, agrees wilh that assessment.

When the Stealth prototype was unveiled a couple of weeks ago, all the money had been spent producing the decidedly inferior aircraft, the B-1.

It should bt noted that there are significant differences between the B-1 and the Stealth. The B-1 is essentially just the biggest and best of the conven-tinal supersonic bombers. By contrast, the Stealths main purpose is to fly under the radar screens in order to strike targets in the Soviet Union in tiine of nuclear war.

In retrospect, Korb says, Carter was right to cancel the B-1 and go for the Stealth although Korb does not fault Carter for us

ing the B-1 as a barginning chip to get some concession from the Soviets in return for scrapping the proposed aircraft.

So the upshot is. President Bush will inherit a batch of flawed B-1 bombers when he might have had the Stealth. Bush can just thank the accidental good fortune that at the same time the United States was trying to produce two bombers, the Soviet Union produced Mikhail Gorbachev and a new attitude that perhaps will obviate the need for either the B-1 or the Stealth.

In fact, in an ironic and curious way. Bush might even do what Korb suggested Carter should have done. He could use the Stealth as a barginning chip canceling it in return for some Soviet concesions.

The world would be safer since the Soviets probably would not regard the B-1 as capable of staying aloft long enough to reach the Soviet Union.

Only the luck of Ronald Reagan could produce such a bizarre result.

Nation Of GamblersRichard Smith

Everybody gambles. It is almost impossible not to. State lottery gambling and officially sanctioned on- and off-track horse race betting are codified by law. Church bingo is an institution. Buses leave major East Coast cities hourly for the glamour casinos of Atlantic City. But that is only part of the story.

If you have been in a grocery store lately, you know that it is almost impossible to buy a box of cereal without simultaneously obtaining a chance to win a trip to Europe or Hawaii. Need fruit juice? You can find one that offers a chance for a Florida vacation. Need sausage? Why not buy the one that promises that you might win an automobile? The grocery stores have turned into casinos.

Do you listen to the radio? Stations offer cash prizes, free luncheons, free concert tickets and free records all just for listening or for being the 10th listener to call with an answer to a quiz question.

Does your car need service? Why not try the oil that gives a chance for a free sports car? Do you shop department stores? They are offering rub-off cards with hidden discount figures designed to turn every purchase in the store into a figurative throw of the dice.

Appliance manufacturers enter purchasers of their particular brand of stove or refrigerator in a national lottery for vacations and cash.

Hawkers of magazines offer a shot at houses, cars and millions in cash if you will only return a hopelessly complicated set of forms and buy a subscription or two. No retail establishment thinks of opening a store or even launching a sale without a lottery or two to lure the customers.

Banks have contracted the gambling fever, issuing game cards through the newspapers and urging the public to play each week. Even philanthropies offer givers a chance to get their money bank through lotteries for vacations, automobiles and cash. Land sales promoters fill home mailboxes with you have won promises of free cars and vacations if the customer will only drive a hundred miles to a

wilderness site. Every newscast ends with a report of the latest stock > market quotations for those who take their gambling very seriously indeed.

Fast-food shops barrage their customers with gambling game cards. Gas stations have lotteries of their i own.

And these are but the legal gambl-, ing games.

Does anyone know of an office without a weekly football pool? How about the election bets in November? Card games on a Saturday night? Does anyone think that those electronic poker machines in local taverns are purely for amusement only?

Life was a lot simpler when the citizen had only to know the local numbers runner or the neighborhood bookie to get a bet down.

Today, making a bet has become virtually synonymous with making a purchase. When you can hardly buy a bite to eat without becoming involved in a game of chance, gambling fever is high indeed.

It is difficult not to gamble on something each day. The games of chance obviously pay off for the businesses that use them. Americans have learned to gamble with a vengeance.

It will take several decades and scores of sociologists dissertations to determine just what the wave of gambling fever has meant to society. It may be just another manifestation of the decay of the Puritan Ethic. No one appears to be seriously concerned. Yet to surface is the argument that playing the gambling cards in a fast-food restaurant will lead to addiction and forced enrollment in Gamblers Anonymous.

But, as in many other matters, the America of the 80s has changed its attitudes. We have become a gambling society.

Woman Missing

NEW BERN, N.C. (AP) - The search continued Monday for a 39-year-old New Bern woman who was apparently abducted Sunday from a Simmons Street convenience store where she works.

Christine Grady, 39, went to work at a Kwik Mart around 11 p.m. Saturday, according to New Bern police. When a burglar alarm for the store sounded early Sunday, New Bern police officers responded to the scene. Police found the store empty, but no cash or other items missing and Ms. Gradys car still in the parking lot.

' Her purse was still there, nothing was stolen, said New Bern Police Capf. M.E. Windham. There was nothing moved, no evidence of a scuffle, Windham said this morning.

Windiham said Ms. Grady lived with her boyfriend, who had not heard from her since she went to work Saturday night. Her family has not had any contact with Grady, Windham said.

Marine Rescued

CHERRY POINT, N.C. (AP) - A Cherry Point Marine rescued Sunday after surviving three frigid nights in the snow-blanketed Croatan National Forest in Craven County was resting comfortably Monday in the bases Naval Hospital.

Staff Sgt. William G. Roman, 32, was located about 1:30 p.m. Sunday by the bases search-and-rescue helicopter not far from the com-rpand post set up for the search effort, according to Capt. Keith Oliver, Cherry Point Joint Public Affairs officer.

; Roman was taken to Cherry Point rjaval Hospital, where he is being treated for exposure and i^sible frostbite and is in good condition and excellent spirits, Oliver said in a telephone interview Monday.

Artificial Tears for Dry Eyes

The production of tears by the eyes may be decreased by the presence of an infection in the eyes or trauma to the eyes. It has also been observed that the eyes often become dryer as a part of the aging process. The lack of adequate tear production, for whatever reason, may cause the eyes to burn and turn red. Immediate relief may be achieved through the use of nonprescription medicines which are called "artificial tears."

The ingredients in artificial tears include a thickening agent such as methylcellulose and a preservative such as edetate di-iodium or chlorobutanol. Occasionally, individuals will be sensitive to the preservatives in these products. If sensitivity does occur, products containing different preservatives should be considered.

; Thickening agents cause the eyes to become wetter by decreasing the surface tension between the eyeball and the eye solution. These ingredients also cause solutions to remain in the ^yes twice as long as compared to plain salt water solutions.

According to the Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs, products which are intended for use in the eye must be sterile, clear, and free from particlps.

Land Purchase

CARRBORO, N.C. (AP) - The North Carolina Nature Conservancy has purchased 4,254 acres in Hyde County, which will become part of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.

The tract was purchased from Texas Commerce Savings Bank for $300,000. It is primarily composed of a swamp forest and has an extensive stand of Atlantic white cedar as well as swamp black gum, loblolly pine and an old-growth stand of bald cypess.

Conservancy officials said the 375-acre Swan Creek Lake, which adjoins the property, is home to a small population of the threatened American Alligator.

The purchase gives the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge a total of 141,600 acrk, said Katherine Skinner, executive director of the N.C. Nature Conservancy.

Fatal Shooting

WILSON, N.C. (AP) - A 23-year-old Wilson man was shot to death Monday morning after a man broke into a mobile home and attempted to assault a woman living there, police said.

Susie Bass, emergency room supervisor at Wilson Memorial Hospital, said Truman Lee Jones Jr. died while undergoing surgery to remove a bullet from his lower abdomen.

Wilson Police Lt. Wayne Lamm said Jones was taken to the hospital shortly after investigating officers found him lying underneath a car in Carver Trailer Park, .just a few feet away from the residence.

No charges have been filed, Lamm said.

New Prison

ASHEVILLE (AP) - A 104-bed minimum security prison for work release inmates was unveiled Monday as workers put finishing touches on the new 314-bed Craggy Prison, a medium security facility which is scheduled to open in February.

The new Buncombe Cwrection Center will have no bars, fences, or locks on the dormitory doors. The first prisoners to arrive at the new Buncombe Center in late January will be inmates of Henderson and Haywood county facilities who already hold jobs in the county, according to Buncombe Correction Center superintendent Sam Reed. The prison should be full by mid-March.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE - The real estate market in the Southeast, once one of the hottest spots in the country, is causing jitters among developers and lenders, including North Carolinas three largest banking firms.

Things in the Southeast are not as good as they were two years ago, said Larry Vogler, executive vice president for real estate lending at NCNB Corp. This is a time of concern and a needed slowdown. We are overbuilt. I dont think anybody would debate that.

Bankers were shaken last week by financial troubles disclosed at a ma

jor Northeastern super-bank,. First Fidelity Bancorp, in Philadelphia. Southeastern bankers say that banks problems underlined the potential for a major problem in the Southeast.

First Fidelitys stock plunged 24 percent in one day after it said it would report a quarterly loss of as much as $190 million and its president and chief executive, Harold Pote, resigned.

First Fidelity, the nations 17th largest bank, said it was setting aside as much as $300 million to cover problem real estate loans, about half of them to a Philadelphia-based renovator of inner-city housing.

Mom, Baby Saved

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WILMINGTON - A Wilmington woman threw her baby to safety from a burning apartment Monday, then jumped from the second-floor window to escape the fire.

Andrea Nichol Tyson, 18, suffered cuts to her head, right hand, arms, feet and legs. Her 1-month-old son, Timothy, suffered some smoke inhalation. Both were taken to New Hanover Memorial Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition Monday night.

Ms. Tyson was rescued about 10:45 a.m. by Wilmington sanitation workers Lawrence Allen and David Prentice, who saw flames and smoke inside her apartment.

They were about to break in to the

apartment when Ms. Tysons mother, Andrea P. Tyson, ran out with a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old child, Prentice said.

She said there were two more upstairs, but it was too much heat and smoke to get up there, Allen said. We hollered for them to jump out the window.

They told her to break the window and to throw the baby to them. They caught the baby, then caught her when she jumped.

Fire investigators said the cause of the fire was an iron left unattended in the kitchen. The iron burned through a bed sheet on the ironing board, igniting the sheet and a basket of- clothes on the floor, said Lt. H.D. Brown of Wilmington Fire Prevention.

Once you look at Texas and Oklahoma and the overbuilding in Florida, and then First Fidelity, it s very easy for people to get nervous about how far-flung is this problem, said Darrell Newton, senior vice president with Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. in Winston-Salem.

There have got to be banks heavily involved in real estate projects in these (Southeastern) markets that have got to have problems, he said. Weve lost a lot of opportunities because we werent in it for easy money.

If Southeastern loan problems become widespread. North Carolina banks, which are the largest in the region, could face large losses. First Union Corp. of Charlotte has real estate loans totaling $6.5 billion, while NCNB has commitments of $3 billion and First Wachovia Corp., parent of Wachovia and First Atlanta Corp., has commitments of $2 billion.

North Carolina bankers say their lending standards have remain^ conservative, meaning they would avoid most of the problems. While a calamity such as First Fidelity can happen anywhere, Vogler said, I dont think it will.

Of the North Carolina banks, he added, Its an oxymoron, but First Union, Wachovia and NCNB are prudently aggressive.

It was those same banks who suffered huge losses in the mid-1970s when competitive pressures led them to finance risky projects.

We had severe problems in the mid-70s and we learned from it, said Gene Clark, First Union senior vice president. Our real estate underwriting (arranging of loans) has been very strict. Thats probably a class of loan that gets more attention than any other.

Indian Leaders Say Hatchers Location Unknown

By William Kates

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEDROW, N.Y. - Onondaga Indian Nation leaders joined with activist Timothy Jacobs in saying the media should be reporting on the reasons he and fellow Tuscarora In-dia? Eddie Hatcher seized a North Carolina newspaper last February.

Theres been such a wide variety of discussion but its all centered on flight and bail and not why they were leaving, Oren Lyons, an Onondaga chief, said Monday during a nows conference at the reservation locfled just south of Syracuse.

Jacobs agreed that the issue of wi(spread drug dealing and public comiption in Robeson County, N.C., haiCbeen lost as the media reported on tRs and Hatchers current legal man^uverings.

Before criticizing the media, JaeSbs said there was no truth to reoorts that Hatcher had come to

the Onondaga Nation seeking sanctuary against North Carolina kidnapping charges.

Jacobs and Hatcher said in a telephone call to The Associated Press in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday that they were together. But on Monday, Jacobs denied seeing Hatcher in New York.

Jacobs, 20, who is residing with the Onondagas while battling extradition to North Carolina to face 14 counts of kidnapping, told reporters that he had heard rumors about Hatcher being on the reservation.

He said as far as he knew Hatcher had not been to the Onondaga reservation during the weekend and he did not know his whereabouts.

The two Tuscarora men were indicted by a Robeson County grand jury Dec. 6 on state kidnapping charges stemming from the Feb. 1 armed takeover of the Robesonian newspaper in Lumberton. They held 20 people hostage for 10 hours before

peacefully surrendering.

A District Court jury had acquitted them of federal hostage-taking charges.

Hatcher and Jacobs said they seized the newspaper so they could draw attention to information they had linking county and state officials to drug trafficking, murder and other corruption.

Jacobs fled to New York following the Dec. 6 indictment, saying he feared for his life if he stayed. He was arrested last Tuesday in Madison County following a chase with police.

The Onondagas have given their sworn assurance to the court they will not harbor Jacobs should he lose his extradition fight. The Onondagas are members of the Six Nation Iroquois Confederacy and consider their reservation a sovereign nation. Local, state and federal authorities wont enter their territory without the tribes permission.

Hatcher said during his telephone call, There is no jurisdiction where I am. Hatcher told his lawyer, Ronald Kuby. that he was somewhere in New York.

Kuby said Monday he was not looking for Hatcher.

Im going to assume hes going to call me sooner or later to let me know how hes doing, said Kuby.

Lyons, a member of the Council of Chiefs, said there was no evidence that Hatcher had visited the Indian nation, which is just south of Syracuse. However, Lyons ladded, the council would have to consider a request for sanctuary if Hatcher asks for it.

The Onondagas provided sanctuary for more than a year to American Indian Movement co-founder Dennis Banks, who surrendered in 1984 to face riot and assault charges in South Dakota.

Theres no definite indication that he's been here. We believe what

they say is true. said Onondaga County Sheriff John Dillon, who joined the gathering as an interested observer.

But once he gets here, we revert to the Dennis Banks plan, added Dillon. We just sit tight. We wouldnt touch him.

Robeson County authorities on Monday alerted court officials that Hatcher had violated his bail provisions.

Robeson County Assistant District Attorney Richard Townsend said his office was trying to run down information on Hatchers latest move and weve got to verify what the situation is before we figure out what were going to do about it. Jacobs and Lyons both used the majority of their news conference to

chastise the media because it had successfully submerged the mam issue of the drug problem in Robeson County while reporting the Tuscaroras story.

What were trying to get across is why we took over the newspaper and why Im here, said Jacobs, who worked as a volunteer youth counselor before fleeing North Carolina. This is one of the biggest (drug) drop-off points between New York and Florida. But nobody wants to listen.

Also Monday. Jacobs attorney, Lewis Pitts, asked New York Gov. Mario Cuomo to withhold a decision on Jacobs extradition pending a hearing. Pitts called his clients case a very unusual, dangerous and complex situation.

RALEIGH The race for speaker of; the state House of Representatives ended at a caucus more thiin two weeks ago, when Democrats nominated Liston Ramsey for hisffithterm.Ordid it?

Since that time, Ramsey, wary of thei^hreat of a coalition of 46 Republicans and a handful of disgruntled Democrats, has worked the phones, shoring up support to ensure his re-election when the General Assembly convenes Jan. 11.

So far, the speaker.is working against an invisible - and possibly non-existent - foe. Despite rumors of Democratic defections, no opponent has surfaced.

Ive been calling around, and I caat find over three or four pos^ilities (of votes) for them, Ra^ey, D-Madison, said Monday. No one has told me they were going to do it. Of course. Im in a hard spot to get the information.

Xljough its unlikely that a Demo

cratic legislator would take the political risk of challenging a powerful speaker, information froni any source would be difficult to obtain if a palace coup were in the works.

State Rep. Robert Grady, R-Onslow, said that since the Nov. 8 election - when Republicans picked up 10 House seats a handful of Democrats have contacted GOP members individually to inquire whether the minority party could deliver its 46 votes for an alternative candidate.

There have been one or two or three people saying, Will your people stick together? Are you serious about this? Grady said. It leads you to believe that theyve been talking among themselves.

The House has 120 members, so 61 anti-Ramsey votes would be needed to oust the speaker.

Grady offered no names of Demo-crats who had consulted Republicans. And Democrats arent talking openly about any rebellion. Thats a good way to get your of-

fice put in the snack bar, joked one House member whos friendly to the speaker.

But five House members were upset enough with the way budget making is handled in the House to ask Ramsey in face-to-face meetings not to reappoint Rep. Billy Watkins, D-Granville, chairman of the Appropriations Committee.

Watkins is almost certain to stay, but the speaker says hell order all meetings of the House subcommittee budget chairman to be open to the

public and the press a major change in policy.

The subcommittee chairmen are going to have a larger role, Ramsey said. The Houses position is going to be that everything is going to be right there in front of the press and everything.

That kind of move is designed to cut away at a growing dissatisfaction with the image the House is projecting, an image some legislators say hurt Democratic candidates in the election.

Besides overcrowding, Baggett said, patients are often released from the institution before they are ready and without having appropriate therapy, to make room for new patients.

Although incidents of violence to patients decreased in the third quarter of 1988 over the same period in 1987, Baggett said violence to staff members increased in the same period. Minor injuries to staff increased from 10 to 24, and major injuries climbed from zero to two, he said.

One of the problems, Baggett said, is that seriously mentally ill people often are brought to the hospital in handcuffs, escorted by two armed sheriffs deputies, and then turned over to a single hospital employee. The employee must bring the patient, unhandcuffed, to the appropriate ward without assistance because of insufficient staff.

Electoral Voter Switches, But Bush Wins Out

By William M. Welch

THE .ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - A West Virginia elector who says the nation has outgrown the Electoral College provided the only surprise during

the constitutional ritual officially electing George Bush as the nation's 41st president.

Margarette Leach switched her Democratic ballot voting for Lloyd Bentsen for president and Michael Dukakis for vice president as she and 537 other electors car

ried out their constitutional duty.

Otherwise, all voted as pledged to give Bush and Republican running mate Dan Quayle each 426 electoral votes, far more than the 270 needed for election over Dukakis and Bentsen. The switched ballot gave Dukakis one vote fewer than the 112

presidential electors he earned in winning 10 states and the District of Columbia.

I did it for a reason, and the reason was to make a statement about the Electoral College." said Leach, a Huntington. W.Va.. nurse. It was fine then (when it begani. but we've Outgrown it."

For example. Leach said, she and the 269 other female electors could have put a woman in ' as president if they hadnt wantd to vote for the nominated candidates.

I wish I had voted for Kitty Dukakis now ," she said.

The Electoral College vote set the stage for another suspense-free ceremony on Jan. 4. when a joint session of Congress meets and Bush, as vice president, is to open the sealed ballots and formally declare himself the president-elect.

Although other electors voted as expected, many agreed with Leach about the antiquated but constitutionally required Electoral College system devised by the Founding Fathers two centuries ago.

Nevada elector Eileen Schouweiller called it silly" and archaic"

However." she added, I suspect it will be with us for a long time to come."

After casting their votes for Dukakis and Bentsen. Wisconsin's 11 electors voted 9-2 to pass along some unsolicited advice to Congress in the form of a resolution urging the Electoral College be scrapped.

The svstem is fatallv flawed."

Bush, Quayle Get All 13 N.C. Votes

: THE .-\.S.S(K I.\TEI) IRESS

I RALEIGH Some people say the electoral college is an anachronism. Ijut North Carolina electors w ho cast votes to help give George Bush and Oan Quayle their formal mandate aid the system serves its purpose.

I People have tried to come up Tith a better way and 1 can t think of any." said outgoing Secretary of State Thad Eure.

You take it away and some of these states with tremendous populations. .New York, ('alifornia ... they'd get .all the attention." Eure said, North Carolina would just be a drop in the bucket."

In a ceremony Monday that was devoid of suspense. Bush and Quayle received all 13 North Carolina electoral votes. The balloting honored a constitutional mandate and gave participants a refresher course in civics.

Bush was the unanimous choice of 13 Republicans chosen by their party to cast ballots tor president in the little-noticed but legally significant exercise. In a separate vote. Quayle was the unanimous choice tor vice president.

The GOP ticket carried the state in the Nov. 8 election, receiving .58 percent of the vote to 42 percent tor Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen.

It wasn't meaningless tor me." said Brenda S, Woodruff, a biology teacher at North Wilkesboro High School who represented the .5th Congressional District. It's a part of

our history. It's exciting."

Robert C. Carroll, 79. a retired oil distributor and at-large elector from Denton who has been a county commissioner and town councilman, said he had been involved in every presidential campaign for 54 years, "It's kind of the climax for me." he said.

The electors, meeting in the historic House chamber of the state Capitol, wrote their choices on blue and yellow cards.

They had no real choices but Bush and Quayle. since state law requires electors to vote for the ticket that received the majority of the popular vote.

The General Assembly passed the law after delegate Lloyd W. Bailey voted for former Alabama Gov. George Watkice. the American Party presidential candidate, in 1968 instead of Richard Nixon, who carried the state.

There was speculation that delegates in some states might vote for someone other than Quayle. but the North Carolinians voiced no regrets at)out being unable to do so.

"I'd still feel honor-bound to support the people^'s choice." Carroll said. But I think Quayle's a good man."

In nominating speeches, two delegates accused the media of treating Quayle unfairly. "His record is largely unseen; the media has seen to that." said Corbett Quinn of .Magnolia, the 3rd District elector.

The North Carolina electoral college vote traditionally has been a low-key affair. This year, it was the centerpiece of a two-hour program that honored past electors and celebrated the history of the state's participation in the presidential election system.

The ceremony, attended by around 200 people including Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan and Supreme Court Chief Justice Jim Exum. was planned by the Wake County chapter of the North,Carolina Commission

on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution.

Honorary plaques were given to nine former electors or their relatives or descendants.

Among them were ancestors of Peter Forney of Lincoln County, who voted in five elections beginning in 1804 when he voted for Thomas Jefferson. Abraham Galloway of New Bern, the state's first black elector who voted for Ulysses S. Grant in 1868; and Eure. 89. the oldest living elector who voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.

Speeches about the history of the electoral college were made by Rep.

David Price, D-N.C.. a former Duke University political science professor. and Linda H. Gunter, a teacher at Cary High School and vice chairman of the Wake County bicentennial chapter.

Copies of a 94-page booklet on North Carolina's part in the electoral college were distributed. The authors are Mrs. Gunter and elector Seth B. Hinshaw, a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In accordance with state law, the electors were paid $44 and received 17 cents per mile in travel compensation.

said elector Lawrence Longley. "We should not be in a position to decide upon who should be president. It should be decided most appropriately by the American people."

Aithough the Constitution does not require electors to vote as their state's voters directed, there have been few deviations over two centuries of elections. Before Leach's change, there had been only eight faithless electors."

Democratic electors in New- York and Minnesota, and a Republican in Texas, didn't carry through with suggestions that they might cast symbolic votes for another candidate ,for president or vice president,

I have reservations about Mr. Quayle," said Texas elector William F. Spivey Jr. But our president (Bush), who I do not have reservations about, has seen fit to choose him. so I'm going to go with what he says. ... I should have abstained, probably."

Some states carried out brief ceremonies steeped in history, while others made a party of the event. Still others got the* formalities of voting and paper-signing over within 10 minutes.

Dukakis, governor of Massachusetts, telephoned electors pledged to him in Iowa and addressed a ceremonial gathering of his electors in the Statehouse in Boston.

I'm sorry Im not here in another capacity. Dukakis said. But I want you to know theres nothing that compares to running for the presidency of the United States.

I wish the president-elect well." he added. But I also know there were some things we were fighting about in the campaign that are going to be there on January 20th. and theyre important,"

Bush and Quayle will be sworn into office Jan. 20.

Many electors said they had re

ceived mail from people urging them to deny Quayle his election aq vice president. Some said thej werent enthusiastic about Quayle^ but they werent buying the idea ot dumping him. |

1 love George Bush and Im veryj enthusiastic about that, but Im not real happy with the selection o Quayle. said elector TorrpmyJ Thomas, a former Florida state Republican chairman who voted fop Quayle anyway. ^

I think the process should bc{ changed and I hope it will be chang-j ed." he said.

Among the other electors wwa voted for Bush and Quayle wecel Bushs brother Prescott S. Bush Jr.^ in Connecticut: Bushs son Neij Bush, in Colorado; his designated White House chief of staff. Gov^ John Sununu of New Hampshire:; and Penn State football coach Joe, Paterno, a Bush campaign sup;; porter.

Vermont Community Comes To Aid Of Neighbor Hurt In Rescue Effort

THE ASSOCI.ATKl) PliESS

BURLINGTON. Vt. - Pat Paquin says she's been amazed by an outpouring of support since her husband was nearly electrocuted trying to help an accident victim. A neighbor plows her driveway and a merchant dropped off a Christmas tree.

"Somebody else brought us our wood, and people have been stacking our wood. she said. "Every couple of days I'll come home from the hospital and dinner will be on the doorstep '

On Nov. 25. Ed Paquin ran into downed electrical wires while rushing to aid the driver of a truck that struck a utility pole in Shaft-

sbury. in southwest Vermont. As his family watched from their vehicle. 7,200 volts of electricity pulsed through Paquin's body.

His sister. Alice, revived him and rescue crews delivered him to the Albany. N.Y.. Medical Center partially paralyzed, with serious internal injuries and burns on his neck and knees.

Today. Paquin. 35. is in lair condition and recovering slowly at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont in Burlington. He receives burn treatment and therapy, and his 7-year-old daughter Caiherine reads to him. The other day he reached a milestone he moved his legs.

Rescuers Crawl 4 Miles Inside Cave

THE ASS(KT.ATEI) PRESS

GALENA, Mo. Rescue workers crawled four miles into a cave in southwest Missouri before finding two teen-agers who were stranded during an outing the day before, authorities said.

The 16-year-old boys were reported missing to the Stone County Sheriffs Department after they didnt return home from a Sunday afternoon outing at Salt Peter Cave near Galena, 25 miles southwest of Springfield.

The names of the boys were not released.

The parents went to the mouth of the cave Sunday evening^and located a pair of socks and shoes belonging to one of the boys,

"One of the boys father and a friend apparently went in the cave hoping to find them. a sheriffs spokesman said. "When they started having trouble with their lights, the father sent the friend out to get help.

But the father stayed in there. It took the Ozark Mountain Cave Search and Rescue Team about two hours to find all three. They were all oifl of the cave by about 3 a.m. Monday.

"They were tired, cold, wet and dirty, but they were all OK. the sheriffs spokesman said.

The rescuers traveled about four miles before finding the boys.

"It doesnt sound like much, except when you consider we were belly-crawling through ,58-degree water most of the way. four miles is a long way. said Bruce Herschend. who led the rescue squad. "Many places were so tight our backs and bellies were scraping at the same time.

The boys apparently started having trouble with their flashlights during the expedition, he said. They knew they didnt have enough light to lead them out of the cave, so they found a dry place and waited lor help.

how long its going to take to recover, he said last week.

"I'm really lucky that people in my town and other people around, they just have been really good and supportive and everything. he said, tears in his eyes, when asked what keeps him going.

"it gives you some faith when you feel people have faith in you. And thats the v ay people have been making me vl.

Paquin i; self-employed carpenter and n s'iiiber of the Rescue Squad in his hometown of Fairfax, a small town l.l miles northeast of Burlington. One of his friends. Dan Stoddard of nearby Huntington, described him as full of fun and life.

"Hes a musician. Hes always the life of the party - he'd bring his banjo or guitar. The unfortunate part of the accident, he can't move his hands at all. But that may just be a matter of therapy, Stoddard said.

Friends said it was just like him to rush to the aid of an accident victim.

"Thats why he was on the rescue squad in the first place. his wife said. "We saw the accident, and ... 1 was just thinking. We re supposed to be someplace. and 1 remember him saying something about he didnt see any rescue vehicles and he thought he could do something. Its not something I could do Ironically, the driver of the truck apparently picked his way through the live wires and left the scene moments before the Paquins drove by. according to police and witnesses.

Michael Hulbert of Bennington pleaded innocent Monday to charges of leaving the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended license. A court clerk said he was released on his own recognizance

^DALLAS - A judge who said he gave a murderer a lighter sentence bfi^use his two victims were homosexual was condemned by gay and civil-ripHs groups, and even drew a critical comment from the convicted killer. ^Everybodys life is worth the same amount, no matter what they are, Iticnard Lee Bednarski told WFAA-TV Monday.

State District Judge Jack Hampton, who sentenced the 18-year-old killer to 30 years in prison Nov. 28 for the execution-style slayings of two men, told the Dallas Times Herald last week he didnt give Bednarski the maximum life sentence because his victims were gay.

These two guys that got killed wouldnt have been killed if they hadnt cruising the streets picking up teen-age boys, Hampton said. I dont eh care for queers cruising the streets picking up teen-age boys. Ive got m-ageboy.

impton expressed no reservations about his statements, the newspaper rted *

out 200 people pr^ested for the judges removal outside the Dallas .ity Courthouse Molday in a rally organized by womens and gay-rights ips, while civil-rigHls groups denounced the judge at a news conference InAustin.

The effect of his remarks is to declare open season on the gay residents oi Dallas County, sfd Tom Doyal, legal director of the Texas Human I%its Foundation, which has filed a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct asking for Hamptons removal from the bench.

Glen Maxey of the^LesbianGay Rights Lobby of Texas said Hamptons remarks underscored the need for a Hate Crimes statute to enhance ^alties when people are victimized because of their race, ethnic group or sexual practices. ' . ,, ^

Opening up the cap of the chimney. Beard starts to work, poking around the inside of the squared brick structure. Reminiscent of Dick Van Dyke, readying to dance a jig with Julie Andrews on a London rooftop. Beard stops for a moment to rrvey his work and smiles for the camera.

Its all in a days work for Beard.

Danny and Carol Beard, owners of West Georgia Chimney Sweep, admit the job is a little bit of fanfare and a lot of hard work.

Take the work costume, for instance. Why would anyone dress up in a top hat and tails to clean out a sobty chimney?

Chimney sweeps used to be real xwr, dirty, scungy people who were ooked down onBeard recounts.

^The story goes that one day a clumney sweep picked a worn-out top hat and tuxedo tails out of the funeral home garbage (funeral h(pnes used to hire mourners to attend funerals), dressed in them and walked out on the street. With the now clothes on, everyone accepted hiin and didnt look down on him. Thats how it started.

Throw in the mystique and the si^rstition its supposed to be good luck to kiss a chimney sweep arid good luck for a bride to see one or her wedding day and the image iscomplete.

^ut the Beards say while the job is fiih, its work, work and work.

We stay busy the year round, Beard said in a recent interview. The couple has some 1,000 regular customers to service, in addition to new customers who call daily.

The Beards entered the chimney sweep business on a fluke ey say.

Eight years ago, Bef . was injured in a car accident, Jfering injuries to his neck and hack. While sitting in the doctors office, the couple saw a magazine ad about how to become a chimney sweep.

We read the article and saw how much money could be made doing it, but we really didnt pay it much attention, Beard said. The couple had no idea before then what a cnimney sweep was.

Between doctor visits, his sister-in-laws home was damaged from a chimney fire. At the next doctor visit, the Beards again saw the advertisement about chimney sweeping. The next week, her fathers house caught on fire from the chimney flue, Mrs. Beard said.

After reading the ad a third time in the doctors office, Mrs. Beard sent off for a brochure from the August West Systems, Inc. They sold their horses to come up with part of the $1.800 they needed for startup equipment and additional information. A bank supplied the rest.

Here we were, didnt have any money and sending all that money away, Beard remembered. The minute 1 let go of that envelope, I had a sinking feeling. It was a good idea until I let go of that money, and I told Carol we would never make a dime off it.

But gathering faith, Beard went out and placed ads with the local newspaper and radio station. The

first call came in around 7 oclock the next morning.

A lady called about how much we charge for cleaning a Black Bart (wood-burning stove) and we had no idea what a Black Bart was or what to charge the lady, Beard said.

At the time, the couple had received no equipment or information from the company about doing the job. With the phone ringing off the hook, the Beards settled on prices that havent changed in eight years $50 to clean a wood-burning stove, $40 for an open fireplace.

Calling the company to rush shipment of the supplies, the Beards continued booking appointments in anticipation of the job at hand.

When the equipment did come, the Beards likened themselves to the Three Stooges trying to put together a Chinese puzzle.- There were brushes, poles, couplings, filters and a vacuum cleaner - in five parts, to be assembled.

Not wanting to jump in cold turkey, although they were three weeks behind on their bookings, Mrs. Beard and an assistant started in on the Beards fireplace for practice.

She had soot all over her face, Beard said.

Next, the couple tried their hand at Mrs. Beards sisters and fathers house. After three sessions, they were ready.

With Beard working at the fire department, much of the chimney, sweeping was left to his diminutive wife.

She got up there and did real good, Beard says, adding that his wife and her assistant did two or three chimneys that first day. They had to physically pull 700- to 800-pound stoves out and put them back

Honesty, Ethics Top List Of Priorities For Workers

NEW YORK (AP) - Managements honesty and ethics are more important than job security, according to a survey of office worker attitudes

Those surveyed also gave priority to pride in the quality of products and services provided by the employer.

Our research shows that for a large majority of office workers, the more intangible issues such as

ethics ana personal pride rank top on a list of key job factors, says Louis Harris, chief executive officer of Louis Harris and Asspciattls. The more tangible issues such 'as pay ranks ninth and ample opportunity ranks 10th among 17 job factors.

The survey was conducted by Harris and Steelcase Inc.. designer and manufacturer of office furniture. . j

in, but now weve got equipment to do all that.

Chimneys and fireplaces should be cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Beard advises. Creosote - a black, crusty substance which is a byproiduct of burning wood can catch fire when there is a buildup on the inside walls of the chimney or flue pipe. Animals may also nest in chimneys.

The year, the Beards have been plagued with problems. He was sick, the van broke down, Carol is now disabled for reasons not related to her job, and Beard hurt his thumb. Although there is a backlog of chimneys to be cleaned, the job goes on.

This time of year, we stay about a month behind. The first cold spell and we get calls all day long, Beard says.

A protozoan (toxoplasma gondie) is found in raw or undercooked meat, as well as in the feces of some

cats. This can cause a disease in humans called "toxoplasmosis. It can cause stillbirths, prematurity and birth defects. Therefore, pregnant women should cook all meats thoroughly, and either wear protective gloves while cleaning the litter box, or better yet, have another person clean it.

Pregnant women should have routine checkups during their pregnancy, and check with their health care professional concerning this and other diseases that might endanger their unborn child. Cheryl Sims, Georgia State University School Of Nursing

When a merchant or a shopkeeper is born, his first words are. "Please, God, send mean Erma Bombeck.

I am the quintessential consumer. I buy quickly. 1 buy often. And I have absolutely no taste whatsoever.

If the sleeves are a little long. Ill roll them up. If the hem is uneven. I'll walk with one shoulder higher than the other. If the color isn't quite what I want. I'll sit in bad light.

How come I have never seen a tire that wasnt on sale? Or a housewares boutique that wasn't going out of business? Beauty shops never go out of business. They just have big signs in their windows that read. Moved to a new location.

How come people who sell used cars assume we all are hard of hearing? If we needed those kinds of decibels, we couldn't qualify for a drivers license.

I have never in my life seen carpet that has not been marked down from its original price or that is not guaranteed to last a lifetime. (If this were true, then how do all the carpet stores stay in business?)

Why is it that men who never sew sell sewing machines and men who never vacuum sell sweepers? And if you wear a junior size and are older than 50, why do you have to jeopardize your hearing with funky music to buy clothes?

How come shoe stores always have big signs on them that read. "Open for Business? What else would they be open for? And why would toy departments keep everything close to the floor when they know children will try out everything and... Forget I asked.

assembly, long-term storage and in-orbit transfer of propellant. Much work in the life sciences also would be needed, and because the mission would last more than 14 months artificial gravity might be needed to maintain the health of the crew, the report said.

Phobos is believed to be an asteroid captured by Mars gravity and is thought to contain a substantial amount of water and carbon-based materials, which could offer potential sources of rocket fuel that could be tapped for exploratory missions to Mars.

think these are affordable.

Martin said such missions probably could be accomplished at less real cost than the Apollo program, which put U.S. astronauts on the moon in 1969. At its height, the Apollo program cost about 4 percent of the federal budget annually, which in todays dollars would be about $25 billion, he said.

You cant do the civil space program on the cheap, he said, noting the nation now spends about $11 billion annually on NASA programs. The fiscal 1989 federal budget is about $1.1 trillion.

Were not a poor nation. We can figure out how to do these things if theyre important to us. he said, adding that international cooperation could help support these missions.

Martin said NASA must leap many technological hurdles before it can accomplish the goal of establishing a permanent human presence in space, but I dont see any show stoppers there.

NASAs Project Pathfinder, under whose umbrella much of the research will be done, gets $40 million this year and the same amount next year, despite NASAs request for $100 million. Martin said annual funding for the program must increase to $100 million soon.

The report focused on four case studies for sending astronauts to the moon, Phobos and Mars. One scenario would send astronauts to Phobos and then on to Mars;

tridges and a p<)wer pad that reflects the exercise movements of the game operator on the screen, in addition to the items in the other editions.

The craze for the game really started last year about this time, and its just caught on during the year, Malcolm Williams Jr., vice president of Greenville TV & Appliance, said.

It hadnt been that big a deal up through the year, but thats what kids have got to have this Christmas.

Williams said hes hoping to get more of the games soon. Im

hoping to get some in today to help me out a bit. Ive had them on order for 45 days. So Im hoping to get some in.

The games are made in Japan but are shipped in the United States from a base in California, Blanchard said. The games are so hard to come by because theres a microchip shortage, he said.

Whatever the essential chip is in the game, theyre having a shortage of it.

K mart received its last shipment of the games about a month and a half ago, according to Andy Williamson, the stores appliance manager.

We got 72 of them and sold them within a week. The only thing Im looking for is the cartridges to them, he said regarding the probability of another -shipment.

While most stores have sold the last Nintendo game on their t shelves. East Coast Music & , Video has about 12 Action Sets ^ left. Jay Dillon, the manager,^ said.

They wont last too long, be said.

But, if a shopper is too late to buy one, We have the games and the cartridges to rent, Dillon said.

plan for future growth.

Saying PCC ranks 52nd out of the 58 community colleges in North Carolina in the amount of space for students, Russell outlined the schools need for and cost estimates for eight new buildings, two renovations and other capital needs.

In priority order, Russell said, the school needs an allied health classroom facility ($3.5 million); the development of a road and utility system on campus ($258,747); a maintenance and storage building ($1.77 million); a welding and masonry classroom-shop facility ($1.2 million); a continuing education and general classroom facility ($3.12 million); a child daycare center ($425,800); a student services building ($3.25 million - which Russell said may be funded by the N.C. General Assembly); a general classroom building ($3.34 million); a multi-purpose training facility ($2 million) and renovations to the White and Humber buildings ($3.01 million).

The $22.7 million PCC bond request is the second major request for a bond referendum now before the board.

The Pitt County Board of Education has asked commissioners for a $25.7 million bond referendum for public school facilities. But that school board, too, has been told to expect no action on the request until

sometime in January.

From figures presented to commissioners earlier by County Manager Kramer Jackson, based on present property values it would require a 7- to 8-cents increase in the tax rate to retire the $47.77 million in bonds requested by the schools and the community college over a 20-year period.

In addition to the requests from the schools and the community college, commissioners are facing the need for $13 million for a new jail, $2 million for ^ew landfill site, $1.5 million for>an agricultural center, $1 million fdr an addition to the health department and $500,000 for new voting machines.

Ashley Shows His Speed In Touchdown Dash As Minnesota Defeats Bears

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS - Walker Lee Ashley is rarely used in passing situations because the Minnesota Vikings doubt whether he can cover and think hes a little slow.

He is used in running situations because he hits like a hammer. And the Vikings certainly expected a run Monday night when the Chicago Bears needed only a chip-shot field goal to take a late lead.

The Bears, who trailed only 21-20 at the time, tried to fool the Vikings but instead looked foolish, as Mike Tomczak passed right into the arms of a surprised Ashley. The backup linebacker then looked plenty fast in racing 94 yards for the clinching touchdown in a 28-27 victory that gave Minnesota the home-field advantage in next Mondays NFC wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams.

I saw the receiver I was suppos

ed to cover (fullback Brad Muster) block, so that freed me up to just drift into coverage, said Ashley, who snuffed out the Bears attempt to rally from a 21-0 deficit. I saw the ball and said, Just catch it. Just catch it.

After making his first career interception, the fifth-year pro went to the left sideline, saw Joey Browner block Tomczak, and was gone for the longest pickoff play in team history.

Ashley might never have gotten the chance to make the play had he not had a heart-to-heart chat with Coach Jerry Burns before the game.

They dont think I can cover, Ashley said. They think Im a little slow, that some backs can outrun me. Thats the reason they dont play me in passing situations.

I think I should be playing a little more, so I talked to Burnsie earlier today and told him I wanted to play

more. He said hed try to get me in the game more.

Why would the Bears pass on third-and-2 from the 8, when Kevin Butler, who had made 10 straight field goals, could have given them a 23-21 lead at the two-minute warning?

I made the call at the goal line, Chicago coach Mike Ditka said. Muster ran the wrong route. It was a good call, but it was just inexperience showing for us.

He called it. I threw it, Tomczak said. Unfortunately, I didnt throw it in the right spot. I think it was a good call down there. You can second-guess yourself until the cows come home.

Tomczak came back with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Gentry with 1:15 remaining, but the Bears on-side kick was smothered by Minnesota and the Vikings had their

Pirates Face Miss. State

East Carolinas Pirates venture into the Southeastern Conference to face Mississippi State tonight in a game set to start at 8:30 p.m.. Eastern time.

The Pirates take a 4-3 record into the game, having won on the road for the first time Thursday night at Winthrop, 75-67. Blue Edwards scored 29 points in the game while Gus Hill added 21.

Mississippi State will be coming off only its second loss of the year, a road defeat at the hands of Texas Christian, 66-65. Ironically, TCU is East Carolinas next opponent. The Pirates entertain TCU on Dec. 27.

Mississippi State, 4-2, had lost previously only to East Tennessee State University, also on the road, 91-82. The Bulldogs have beaten Rice, 63-61, Southeastern Louisiana, 113-61, and New Orleans, 76-65, in home games, and downed Mercer, 74-63, in their only road victory.

The Bulldogs are paced by 6-7 sophomore forward Cameron Burns, averaging 14.0 points a game, while Greg Lockhart, a 6-2

senior guard, has an 11.0 average.

Other starters are expected to be 6-8 sophomore center Chancellor Nichols, averaging 9.3 points a game, 6-5 sophomore forward Greg Carter, 7.8 ppg., and 6-1 sophomore guard Doug Hartsfield, 9.2 ppg.

Surprisingly, Lockhart is the leading rebounder for the Dogs, with a 5.4 average. Nichols is next at 5.3.

The game between the two teams is the second meeting for them. Their only other encounter came in the finals of the 1972-73 Pacemaker Classic tournament when Mississippi State claimed a 69-64 victory over East Carolina. That tournament was played in Monroe, La.

The Bulldogs have been a hot-shooting team, hitting 50.5 percent from the floor in the first five games. Burns is leading the way with a 68.3 percentage.

Going back into last season, Mississippi State has won six straight games on its own home court.

Switzer: Titles Fair, Square

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahomas Barry Switzer, who sports three national championship rings, says he won them fair and square.

I feel comfortable in saying and knowing that I have never asked any of my coaches to go out and offer any inducement to any athlete we have ever recruited, Switzer said in response to severe NCAA sanctions levied against the Sooners on Monday.

Until this investigation came about, I was not aware and did not know that these existed.

The NCAA placed Oklahoma on three years probation. The sanctions call for no bowl games after the 1989 and 1990 seasons, no live televised games next season, and cuts in the number of recruits who can sign with the Sooners the from 25 to 18 in each of the next two years.

The NCAA found 20 separate recruiting violations during the past eight years, and said the university has failed to exercise appropriate institutional control over its intercollegiate football program.

The NCAA said it found two in

stances where an assistant coach offered inducements to recruits.

I know and I believe that our coaches do not violate NCAA rules in regard to going to offer inducements to players, said Switzer, adding he was embarrassed by the penalty.

We do not have an illegal recruiting machine. We do not orchestrate illegal recruitment of athletes, he said, his voice rising at times. This investigation ... 1 believe to be an isolated incident, not a pattern. '

I support enfordement, I believe in enforcement and not violating the

confirm either report, and two sources close to the selection committee flatly denied them.

Sheridan would become the fourth coach to be interviewed by the committee. Georgia assistant coaches George Haffner and Dale Strohm were interviewed Saturday, followed on Monday by Valdosta State coach Mike Cavan, a former Georgia assistant.

Denver Broncos coach Dan Reeves, another prospective candidate, said he has requested his name be withdrawn from consideration.

Russell, who is in Montgomery, Ala., this week serving as an assistant coach in the Blue-Gray all-star game, said Monday he had not been interviewed by the committee, but he was interested in the job.

Public sentiment among Georgia fans is apparently heavy in Russells favor, despite the fact that he is 62. Late in the Georgia-Georgia Tech basketball game Saturday, a chant of "We Want Erk, We Want Erk broke out.

Nevertheless, N.C. State athletic director Jim Valvano said Monday he is getting concerned about the discussions taking place between Sheridan and Georgia.

Of course Im concerned, Valvano said. "Any time people are talking to your coaches, youre always concerned. ... Georgia is in the SEC, which is football country; we understand that.

But Valvano added he is hopeful Sheridan will remain with the Wolfpack, even if offered the Georgia job.

"Itd be different if we felt we didnt have our ducks in a row here, but we do, Valvano said. "We have made the commitment here to having as fine a program as there is in thejcnnntry. Dick knows that and

Oklahoma president David Swank, AD Donnie Duncan and Coach Barry Switzer meet press

NCAA rules, Switzer said. We will adhere to the NCAA regulations. Athletic Director lionnie Duncan said adherence is mandatory.

If you break the rules, youre fired, said Duncan, adding that while the penalties were harsh, he did not feel wronged by the NCAA.

The fact were here today isnt the NCAAs problem. Its our problem, our fault, he said. Im not bitter and upset about the NCAA. They wanted us and they got us.

David Swank, the universitys interim president, said the penalties are more severe when one considers the financial aspect of the i penalties.

Swank said the athletic department stood to lose betweeen $750,000 and $1 million in each of the next two years. Those figures take into account television contracts and the payout given to bowj teams, which the team splits with the conference.

Duncan said the football program earns 97 percent of the athletic departments revenue. Asked how the school would offset the loss of television and bowl revenues, Duncan drew laughs from the packed news conference by saying: Raise ticket prices.

The probation, Oklahomas fourth but its first in Switzers 16 years as head coach, comes at the height of the recruiting period. Switzer said his coaches had been presenting recruits a worst-case scenario all along, but said "I think obviously Itll have an impact on recruitment.

Two assistant coaches and a former recruiting coordinator named in most of the recruiting violations will not be fired.

Early Break Dismayed Sooners

Coaches Wanted Team To Get News Of Probation From Them First

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORMAN, Okla. - The three-year probation and accompanying sanctions were bad enough. How the Oklahoma football program got the news made it even worse, Coach Barry Switzer says.

The people affected more than anyone else is the players on that football team and we diclnt have the opportunity to talk to em first, Switzer said Monday after being officially informed that his team had been handed three years of probation.

Included in the penalty is a two-year ban on bowl appearances, no live I V telecasts in 1989 and a reduction of scholarships from 25 to 18 in each of the next two seasons.

Oklahoma officials said they received a copy of the NCAA s sanctions last Friday, and had planned to announce them on Monday. But an Oklahoma City television station received a copy of the sanctions via express mail on Saturday and broke the story that night.

The Oklahoma players were in shock and dismayed, and they ve got reporters over there Suday morning knocking on doors, Switzer said. They didnt even know what had happened... Im damn sure not gonna tell you (reporters) what Ill talk to them about.

Many Oklahoma players are out of town, taking a break between exams and final preparations for Citrus Bowl. The Sooners will leave Christmas

Day for Orlando, Fla., where they will play Clemson on Jan. 2.

Were a family here, and the players and coaches learned about it through the media, offensive coordinator Jim Donnan said. We could at least have explained to our players what was going on. To have it come through these channels was tough.

The players, all they want to do is play football, and most of them want to get a degree, too, All-American guard Anthony Phillips said. Its not their fault, and theyre the ones who get penalized. The NCAA also ordered that two assistant coaches - identified Monday as Mike Jones and Scott Hill be disciplined along with former recruiting coordinator Shirley Vaughn.

Duncan said all three had been disciplined, but that none would be fired.

Many of those who commented about the penalties Monday used the same word to describe their feelings shock.

Switzer said that when he saw the allegations against the program several

months ago, he was encouraged because the NCAA spent two years investigating us and found 20 allegations, and two isolated incidents of inducements.

David Swank, the universitys interim president, said the penalties are very severe, we think, maybe more severe than we expected. We are sorry this has happened. But were going to put it behind us and get on with our program.

1 think its an exaggerated penalty. Its much too hard, T. Elwood Kemp, chairman of the board of regents, added.

Ron Watson, an assistant athletic director in charge of NCAA compliance, said he came away from an October meeting before the NCAAs Committee on Infractions feeling very good. To say Im not surprised would not be truthful.

I think theres a public outcry for stiffer penalties, he said.

Like all colleges, Oklahoma is in the midst of its recruiting season. Switzer said he would expect the probation to have some effect, and assistant head coach Merv Johnson concurred.

Johnson said it would be easy to understand a recruit asking himself whether he really wants to go to a school that was hit so hard.

If you look at the charges, the allegations, theres not much there that would make you think that thats a bunch of bad guys, he said. This is the hand weve been dealt, and weve got to make it work.

Switzer, who said his coaches have been giving recruits a worst-case scenario throughout this recruiting season, said he is a strong believer in following NCAA rules.

It is to the advantage of the University of Oklahoma that no one cheats, he said. "If no one cheats, we have the ability to win because of the exposure our program receives. Some have to offer recruiting inducements - cheat. They cant offer just a scholarship.

He also firmly restated g claim he has made often in the past that Oklahoma does not buy its players.

Ive been able to make those statements with a clear conscience in the St, he said. Its difficult now, being convicted of a couple of instances, lut 1 know it will be something our coaching staff and athletic department doesnt believe in and doesnt need to do.

Spurrier, Duke Set To Sign New Pact

DURHAM - Duke football coach Steve Spurrier will sign a new contract with the school within a few weeks, sources told the News and Observer of Raleigh.

Spurrier and Athletic Director Tom Butters are negotiating a five-year, revolving contract at a substantial increase in salary, the news^per r^rted in Tuesday editions.

i^e pact would replace a four-year contract, which also included an automatic renewal feature, that Spurrier signed when he became Dukes head coach in 1987, the newspaper said. Salary figures for both contracts have not been released.

San Diego Cans Saunders

Some Players Criticize Decision To Let Coach Go

the associated press

SAN DIEGO - Chargers coach A1 Saunders isnt bitter about being fired after a rebuilding season, but several players say his dismissal was unfair.

My regret is that we werent able to finish what we started. We hope that we laid the groundwork ... for a strong future for the San Diego Chargers, Saunders said after being informed of his dismissal during a meeting Monday with club owner AlexSpanos.

I know that this team, in the future, will be an outstanding one, Saunders said. The young talent is here, and Im sure that with a few select additions in a few critical areas, this football team will be a successful one in the future.

Saunders, who was publicly critical earlier this year of the players he was supplied by team management, posted a 17-22 record in 2*2

years. Though the Chargers won four of their final six games this season, they finished fourth in the AFC West with a 6-10 record.

This is a tough business ... its just one of those things. Im not bitter at all, said Saunders, the clubs seventh head coach, who refused to discuss details of his conversation withSpanos.

Players rose to Saunders defense when told of his firing while cleaning out their lockers. The Chargers beat Kansas City 23-14 in Sundays season finale.

We were starting to come together as a young team, guard Broderick Thompson said. I dont think it was fair, but ... I don't sit (in) on the board meetings and make those decisions.

I feel bad for Al, guard Dennis McKnight said. I dont think it was totally his fault, but I think he knew when he took the job that someday, if things didnt go well, he would be

to blame, and if things did go well, he would get the credit.

Punter Ralf Mojsiejenko said he thinks Saunders deserved to return next season.

I think its an injustice because of the youth we have on this team. A lot of things have happened (to contribute to the teams losing record in recent seasons), and the reasons for them havent been Als fault. Were finally blending together as a young team.

A list of potential head coaching candidates will be compiled by Steve Ortmayer, the teams director of football operations, Spanos said in a statement released by the club.

We feel at this time it is necessary to make a change in the head coaching position, Spanos said. We wish Al well, and a search for a successor will begin immediately .

The Chargers assistant coaches will remain with the team until

Sooners Answer NCAA...

(Continued From B-1) because it does not warrant it, Duncan said.

He said former recruiting coordinator Shirley Vaughan had been removed from her position, and assistant coaches Scott Hill and Mike Jones were disciplined.

Duncan said the coaches salaries were frozen and they were placed on university probation. He also said Jones was taken off recruiting.

Swank would not name players and recruits mentioned in the sanctions, but identified the boosters as former state Sen. Norman Lamb of Enid, Bill Lambert of Lindsay, and Jay Thomas, identified as a resident of California.

Swank said Oklahoma would consider appealing the penalty. However, Duncan noted that in 41 years, no team has made substantial

progress in appealing sanctions.

The report said Switzer wrote personal checks to pay for rental cars and to supplement salaries of secretaries and unpaid graduate assistants, and once lied to the NCAA about what he told his superiors.

Switzer admitted writing the checks, but said he didnt realize it was an NCAA violation. He said the checking account consisted of money he receives from radio and television fees.

The NCAA charged that the recruiting coordinator sold players complimentary tickets for prices ranging from $100 to $600 and arranged airline tickets at no cost to a recruit and a student athlete.

Vaughan, though not specifically named in the report, had been the football teams recruiting coor-

second victory third counting the preseason of the season over the Bears.

The teams could meet again in the playoffs.

I know one thing for sure, Ditka sai(i. If we play them again, well beat them and you can put that in their locker room for all I care. Despite its success against the Bears, Minnesota, 11-5, finished second in the NFC Central for the fourth straight year. Chicago, 12-4, had clinched its fifth straight division title the previous week when the Vikings lost to the lowly Green Bay Packers.

It's not Pearl Harbor Day, Ditka said. Its no big deal.

It was for the Vikings, who would have had to play at Anaheim, Calif., had they lost.

We definitely wanted to stay home for Christmas, said Ray Berry, who filled in capably for injured linebacker Jesse Solomon.

That wasnt as big a motivator as just beating the Bears, Minnesotas Keith Millard said. Theyve kicked our rears for so many years. Its about time we do some kicking.

Ditka was kicking up a fit in the first half, as the Vikings built their 21-point lead. He acted neither like a coach whose team didnt need a victory nor a man who suffered a heart attack midway through the season.

Ditka, who said during the week that he wanted the Bears to win because he didnt want the Vikings to think were just another team that they can line up against and beat," was so upset after a running-into-the-punter penalty on Lemuel .Stinson that he pushed assistant coaches aside to get at Stinson on the sideline.

First, Ditka grabbed the rookie and shook him and then he went back twice more to yell at Stinson.

The Bears responded to that kind of enthusiasm with 20 straight points, including Tomczaks 76-yard touchdown pass to Dennis McKinnon and Neal Andersons 51-yard scoring run.

We did something special. I think we really saw something, Chicago linebacker Mike Singletary said.

We came up short, but it was a great learning experience.

The Vikings learned something, too. Wade Wilson learned that being named to the Pro Bowl was no guarantee of being Minnesotas full-time quarterback.

He threw touchdown passes of 3 yards to Steve Jordan and 18 yards to Alfred Anderson, but when he struggled in the second half. Burns brought in former starter Tommy Kramer.

Burns said Wilson would continue to be number one, but Wilson responded: Number one? That means a lot. Real meaningful. Kramer was brutal in his fir^t significant action in two months, completing as many passes to Chicago defenders as Minnesota receivers one. \

It was a game in which standouts also had some less-than-outstanding moments.

Wilson, for one. Neal Anderson for another.

He became the first Chicago runner besides Walter Payton to have a 1,000-yard season since Gale Sayers in 1969. Payton, the NFLs all-time rusher, turned the trick 10 times.

Anderson gained 122 yards Monday night, giving him 1,106 on the year. It was the first time in 38 games dating back to Oct. 26, 1986, that a runner had gained 100 yards against Minnesota.

But Anderson also fumbled to set upa Minnesota touchdown.

We made too many mistakes and it cost us the game, Ditka said. They have no spell over us, though, and the fourth time will be the charm if we play them again.

dinator for nine years.

The report said that during the 1984-85 academic year an assistant coach made statements to a highly visible recruit that led the prospect to believe that extra benefits would be provided to him if he enrolled at the university.

The NCAA also said that in February 1985 an assistant coach put $1,000 in an envelope and gave it to a recruit in order to induce the young man to sign a letter of intent.

Earlier published reports said the recruit was Hart Lee Dykes of Bay City, Texas, who went on to sign a letter of intent with Oklahoma State. The Cowboys, meanwhile, are awaiting word from the NCAA on alleged infractions in their football program.

The NCAAs Committee on Infractions found that an assistant coach ignored a warning from the head football coach and became involved in a bidding war for a highly recruited prospective student-athlete.

The NCAA said the assistant coach subsequently denied his involvement and tried to get persons who knew about the matter to change their testimony.

Duncan said the athletic departments message to fans and foes alike is the same.

Weve overcome difficulties in the past, he said. Well do this and well do it the right way. Its a setback, but not one we cant overcome.

Ortmayer saic

A degree of continuity at this point is a definite consideration, he said. We have coaches on this staff that a new coach would be comfortable with.

Saunders, 41, had been at odds with team management since training camp, however, because he thought he was given inferior talent. He also drew Spanos ire by un-, favorably comparing his team with* the Raiders before a Nov. 6 game against Los Angeles.

Who would you rather go to war with if you had to feed your family? Saunders said at the time to a reporters question. He then went Misition by position to explain that le thought the Raiders had superior talent.

Ortmayer, who came to the Chargers from the Raiders Jan. 27, 1987, repoprtedly had twice saved Saunders from being fired during the season although the two men had clashed over management decisions.

Saunders repeatedly criticized a trade orchestrated by Ortmayer in which the Chargers gave up offensive tackle Jim Lachey to the Raiders, who subsequently traded him to Washington for quarterback JaySchroeder.

The Chargers received lineman John Clay, who has been unable to play because of injuries, and running back Napoleon McCallum, whose scheduled Navy commitment' leaves him unavailable to play before the 1990 season.

Satterfield Enjoyed His Idaho Excursion

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Furman coach Jimmy Satterfield says he enjoyed his stay in Pocatello, Idaho, for the NCAA Division I-AA title, but he would still like the game to be played at the home of one of the finalists.

The Idaho people and Idaho State University have done a fantastic job with this game, Satterfield said after his Paladins beat Georgia Southern 17-12 to win the I-AA title. .Its the best its been done since Ive been involved with it.

The people from Idaho are fantastic people. Everywhere you went, they were just friendly folks, just like the people from the South. This is probably one of the best places to hold the game as long as theyre going to give somebody the site ahead Of time.

But hed prefer to see some changes.

Personally, Id rather see one team host the game so their hometown fans can see it, or one team close to the area where a finalist school is so they can get a neutral

site for the game, Satterfield said. Weve got 15,000 people sitting over there in Greenville who would like to see it.

With one title in hand, the Paladins will be looking to repeat in 1989. Furman loses only nine of 22 Starters from this years team.

The first thing that comes to my mind when you have a national championship is that its great for your program, but there havent many people been able to come back, Satterfield said. There have been a lot of teams that after a national championship, for some reason, seems to be not quite as hungry.

Thats something were going to be real aware of and try to make sure that our guys continue to be hungry and work hard.

Satterfield referred to ends Kelly Fletcher and Chris Roper, who often lifted weights on their own.

Were going to have to continue to do those things with 60 scholarships, having to make over 1,000 on the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and having 2,500 students.

Valvano said he does not know whether Sheridan will be offered the chance to succeed Dooley but will not be surprised if that happens.

' If I were Georgia, Id offer him the job, said Valvano. But, if I were Dick. Id stay at N.C. State. I talked with Dick this morning and told him Id be personally and professionally disappointed if he should decide to no longer be our football coach, But Id also support and respect any decision he makes.

; Valvano said he has already received some phone calls from coaches inquiring about the possibility of an opening at N.C. State.

There have been a handful or so, he said. Whats amazing is how so many people think its a done deal.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS - Fifth-ranked Illinois has survived its first scare of the season and senior Lowell Hamilton thinks the Illini will be all the better for it.

It was good experience to have a game like this, Hamilton said an 87-84 victory Monday night over No. 10 Missouri. It was like proving something to ourselves. When we get down 10 (points) or more, we cant worry about that..

Illinois boosted its record to 8-0, its longest winning streak in two seasons. Missouri fell to 9-3 in the only game involving ranked teams.

But the Illini, except for senior forward Kenny Battles 28 points and Hamiltons 21, might not have pulled through. Illinois trailed 39-21 late in the first half and lagged behind 39-32 after scoring the periods last 11 points.

Illini coach Lou Henson blamed the Big Ten teams lackluster start on poor shot selection and a multitude of mistakes that included four offensive fouls.

Missouri made us play poorly, Henson said, however. The second half, we played much better. Overall, we had an excellent (final) 30 minutes. Our guys worked hard.

Byron Irvin, a 6-foot-6 senior guard, was the chief instigator of Missouris strong opening half, scoring 12 of the Tigers first 16 points and totaling 18 by intermission.

Missouri used an 11-1 sprint to open a 39-21 cushion after the first 15:44. Steve Bardos only field goal, a shot from 3-point range, launched Illinois comeback. Kendall Gills two foul shots capped a 22-4 surge that brought Illinois abreast of Missouri at 43-43 with 17:12Temain-ing in the game.

The teams were afterward locked in nine more ties. Illinois built five-point leads on three occasions, but Missouri each time battled back.

After Illinois built an 83-79 lead with 2:25 left on Battles three-point play, Lee Cowards 3-point goal and Doug Smiths stuff shot off a fast break gave Missouri its last lead at 84-83.

Battle went to the line and sank two more clutch foul shots with 26 seconds remaining, putting Illinois ahead for good, and the minis Larry Smith hit a layup at the finish.

Irvin said Missouri was impeded by Battles tenacious defense when it tried to set up a shot that preceded Larry Smiths field goal.

"It was a play for me to come out or go back door. I went back door, but the ball didnt get to me, Irvin said. He (Battle) grabbed my arm. We just couldnt capitalize at the end.

It was Illinois sixth straight victory over Missouri at the Arena, giving the Illini a 14-5 lead overall against the Big Eight school in their series.

Irvin led Missouri with 26 points, followed by Doug Smiths 16 and Cowards 15. Illinois shot 56 percent overall to Missouris 54 percent. Each team committed 24 turnovers.

Despite Missouris failure to hold on to its comfortable lead, Tigers coach Norm Stewart refrained from chastizing his team.

You have to give Illinois credit. Our guys played hard as hell. If I can get that much effort every night. Ill be happy, Stewart said. We just need to be a little more organized. Battles got the right last name. We just wanted to run a little

play (at the end) and couldnt get it done.

Making the difference was Illinois ability to convert its final 10 free throws.

It was one of my best halves, (being) agressive on offense and defense, said Battle, the Illini leader. It really shows what we can do when we work hard.

Gamecocks Back In Top 20

By Rick Scoppe

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina is back - in the top 20, that is.

After nearly a 13-year absence. South Carolina has earned a spot in the top 20 as the Gamecocks continue their return to respectability under Coach George Felton.

The Gamecocks, 5-0, are 18th in this weeks Associated Press basketball poll after an 83-81 overtime victory Saturday over Tennessee, which dropped three spots to 19th following the loss.

Im happy for the team. Im happy for the program, Felton said Monday in an interview. Its come a long way really when you look at it in 24 years. I consider it a total rebuilding process.

Felton, 34, also was around the last time the Gamecocks made the Top 20. The current coach was a little-used player under Coach Frank McGuire on Jan. 28, 1975, when the. Gamecocks were 11-4 and ranked 19th.

The last time South Carolina was higher than No. 18 was on Jan. 7, 1975, when the Gamecocks were 15th.

Since accepting the head coaching job three years ago, Felton has steadly returned the Gamecocks to respectability. South Carolina was 15-14 in 1986-87 and 19-10 last season its best record since 1982-83 an^ < only the second time since 1974-7^,' the team had won at least 19 games.

Felton also has had to deal with a two-year stint on probation given th' program by the NCAA because of rule violations under his predecessor. Bill Foster.

But the Gamecocks are off probation this year and again eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament. Before the season. South Carolina was seen as a good team with potential and a legitimate shot at making the NCAAs.

Felton said he isnt sure just where the Gamecocks fit in nationally right now.

I thought we had potentially a good team at the beginning of the year, Felton said. Whether the early publications were accurate, I dont know. I considered us a top 50 team. Whether were a true Top 20 team, only time will tell.

So far, the Gamecocks have met all challengers. South Carolina has beaten two Atlantic Coast Conference teams Clemson and Maryland as well as the Volunteers in Knoxville.

Im just excited about how weve gone out and how well the kids have responded to the challenge, Felton

said. What Im happy about is how hard weve played.

We still have to work on our execution on offense and on some areas on defensive. But theyve played hard.

The Gamecocks, members of the Metro Conference, will put their ranking on the line Tuesday night when they return home to play No. 12 Ohio State, 6-1, in the first meeting ever between the two teams.

I think theyre an excellent team,; a very aggressive team, "rtiey Pun; the floor really well, Felton said.* The game should help coaches and players find areas for improvement,, he said.

Shelby Coach Earns Top HonorBy David Droschak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - Jim Taylor, who led Shelby to within one victory of becoming the first 3-A team to win three straight titles, has been named The Associated Press 1988 high school, football coach of the year in North Carolina.

After starting off with a 0-1-1 record, Taylor led the Lions to the Southwestern Conference crown and 12 straight victories before losing to Burlington Cummings 41-14 in the finals.

This was probably the most

pleasing year weve had as coaches, Taylor, who has a 118-24-2 record in 12 seasons at Shelby, said in a telephone interview from his home. No one expected us to do what we did this year.

Taylor, 42, received 9Vz votes from a group of statewide prep sport-swriters to easily outdistance Greenville Roses Chip Williams, who garnered 2/2 votes.

Hal Stewart, who led 4-A Garner to a 26-game winning streak over two seasons before having the streak snapped in the second round of the playoffs, was third with two votes. Fayetteville 71sts Bobby Poss and Burlington Cummings David Gut-shall each got one vote.

With only five seniors returning from the 1987 state championship team, Taylor said he knew his team would struggle early. After a season-opening 0-0 tie with 4-A Gastonia Hunter Huss, the Lions lost to cross-town rival Crest, also a 4-A school.

The boys played well enough (in those two games) that they saw they could have won, he said. The way they played gave them their con-ficfence.

1 dont think they overreacted or they were scared, Taylor said. They realized we were a junior-oriented ballclub.

Cavs Inside Game Keys WinTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With Jacksonville niissing both its starting forwards, Virginia may have depended too heavily on the inside game for its sixth victory in seven starts, Cavalier coach Terry Holland said.

At times in the second half, we hurt them inside, but we still havent found that balance between being a^ressive inside and still scoring from the perimeter, Holland said Monday night after the Cavaliers defeated Jacksonville 86-81.

Virginia got 18 points from Richard Morgan to defeat Jacksonville, which entered the game

without starting forwards Chris Slocum and Sean Byrd, who were out with knee injuries.

We didnt bring two starters with us and that could have been the difference on the boards, said Jacksonville coach Rich Haddad, whose Dolphins were outrebounded 41-31.

Virginia watched Jacksonville, 4-4, rally from three 11-point deficits, the last one at 85-74 with 42 seconds remaining. The Dolphins scored 7 points over the next 24 seconds, trimming the margin to 85-81 on a 3-point basket by Pat LaGuerre with 18 seconds to play.

a comeback team and tonight you can see why, Holland said.

Without their starting forwards, the Dolphins depended largely on a three-guard lineup. The result was career-high efforts from Dee Brown and Curtis Taylor.

Dee Brown played 40 minutes, guarded a guy whos 6-8 and scored 31 joints. He has great heart, Haddad said.

Our guards were excellent tonight. I think you saw a game where our guards were at our best and our inside ^ple didnt play very well, Haddad said.

Taylor added 26 points for the Dolphins and LaGuerre finished with 12.

From the second game on, Taylor said his coaching philosophy of sound fundamentals, effort and attitude paid off.

We had a group that simply worked harder than any group we have ever had that was the key to our success, Taylor said. They wanted to live up to the tradition that Shelby had. They set out and went to work and developed into a good ballclub.

Taylors wife informed the veteran coach he had won the award Sunday night after he had returned from his mother-in-laws 70-acre farm, where Taylor said he likes to relax while raising beef cattle.

I enjoy fooling with them (the cattle). It gets me away from the everyday grind, he said.

Taylor said he still finds coaching enjoyable, but said the high school profession has changed in the past 10 years.

The way high school football is now, you have to work hard. High school football has changed -everyone has weight programs, offseason programs and summer programs where they work on football. Its becoming a year-round thing, Taylor said.

Its been enjoyable (the past few years) because we were winning, he said. If we were losing I dont know how I would answer that question.

Taylor also was head coach four seasons at Polk Central before becoming Shelbys junior varsity coach in 1974. He became the varsity coach in 1977.

Bad Grades Can Cook

Move Puts Blue Devils In A Bind ;i

By Tom Foreman Jr.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - Joe Cook, a reserve guard for top-ranked and unbeaten Duke, has been declared academically ineligible, and that leaves coach Mike Krzyzewski in something of a bind.

Cook, a sophomore, has played sparingly. His importance is in the fact that he provided rest for starting guards Quin Snyder and Phil Henderson, and now that he is gone, Krzyzewski is without a true guard to come off the bench.

It hurts us because we dont have a lot of ballhandlers and we dont have a lot of people who can put good pressure on the ball, Krzyzewski said during his weekly telephone conference call.

He was in our plans to do more of that this year. We have to adjust accordingly, he said.

The changes might involve using the frontcourt players, such as 6-foot-5 Robert Brickey and 6-6 Greg Koubek, to take some control at guard. The burden also could fall on 6-10 Danny Ferry.

"It may be that Robert and Greg might need to handle it more. I might use Danny in a different way, Krzyzewski said. These are things we have to look at it in practice."

Above all. Cook is considering working on his academics so that he may regain his eligibility at the start of school next fall. Since he was declared academically ineligible, he

must remain out of school for t)yo successive semesters, in this case the spring and summer terms.

He is down about it and veiy disappointed, but he accepts the sponsibility of it, Krzyzewski said.' He just needs some time to sit with his mom and figure out whats best for Joe. Theres no question that he can do it at Duke, but he has to be> little more committed to it.

The dilemma arises as the Blue Devils come off an 11-day break for exams to meet Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference season opener. It isnt particularly ideal timing, Krzyzewski suggested.

Were a little bit rusty, he said. I think we came back from the exams fairly well, but were not in as good a shape as wed like to be in a conference game. ,'

The Demon Deacons are at 4-1, and like Duke, are coming off an 11-day layoff. One difference between the two teams is the way they started the season.

Duke marched to the Final Fouf with little more than bumps or bruises last season. Wake Forest lost four players to injury and staggered throflgh the year, although the remaining players managed upsets of North Carolina and North Carolina State.

The four players are back and have combined with newcomers and veterans to make Wake Forest a stronger team, Krzyzewski said. "

Now, they have the depth to keep their guys fresh, he said. Theyll be a touher team for us to defend.

Carnesecca Has His Act Down Pat

THE ASS(X:iATED PRESS

NEW YORK Lou Carnesecca, n^d basketball coach at St. Johns University for 19 seasons, has underdog stature built in, and everyone seems to love a little guy.

.At a midtown fete for the new book he did with columnist Phil Pepe, Louie, In Season, (McGraw Hill, $17,95), Carnesecca got ready to talk to a small group of friendly faces. There was a problem, though.

Not much taller than a parking meter, Carnesecca could barely see over the podium, and he nearly banged his forehead on the microphone.

i know I should be on a horse," he said.

He moved out from behind the rostrum and wandered around the room, now at ease and pure Louie, tossing one-liners and rambling on.

Why the book after 40 years of coaching? Id like to tell people what a great, great feeling it is to coach, he said in his low, scratchy voice. It always was a game to me. Its become a business, but its always been a game. I hope when you read this, youll get the feeling that basketball is not the end of the world.

Could I last 40 years if I started today? Probably not. Too much

pressure." he said. You're always coaching, always recruiting, always thinking ... It took me 30 years just to get a five-minute radio show."

Carneseccas book isnt one of those tell-all tales. Nor is it a grand expose, like Season On The Brink was of Bob Knight. Carnesecca is to Knight what Santa Claus is to the Grinch.

Louie doesn't say bad things about people.

New York Gov. Mario Cuomo did the forward for Carneseccas book, and he writes: Its not only his players whom Louie makes better, its everybody he knows. When friends cause him pain ... Louies

memory absolves the culprits and transforms their ugliness into displays of admirable spirit...

In other words, Carnesecca remembers things the way he wants to - veiled in humor and compassion.

In 40 years. Ive had all kinds, he said. Some were unfortunate, some spent time in jail. I had a few second-story guys, a hijacker. Back in the 50s, I had one poor kid who took his own life. And there was a guy who made some indecent phone calls. About 5,000 of them. There had to be something wrong in his medulla oblongata.

Ive seen a lot and been all over the world with that little round ball.

Carnesecca came into his 20th season at St. Johns with 440 victories, and his lifetime .737 winning percentage is in the all-time top 10.

Hes also seen the down side, like the three years he spent with the New York Nets of the old American Basketball Association. So, though

he admits to occasional screaming fits of frustration, he has gained perspective.

How many coaches lost 50 games in a season. I did, but the players arent dead. Im not dead. Its not life or death, Carnesecca said The New York Mets didnt win the World Series, but did the city stop? Maybe it didnt make as much money, but it didnt stop.

use Fans Not Flocking To Game

By Rick Scoppe

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina fans aren't exactly standing in line for tickets to see their beloved Gamecocks take on Indiana in the 30th Liberty Bowl.

We thought that we would probably have more people over there tfian what there are, Coach Joe Morrison said. But everyone Ive talked to seems to have their reasons for not going.llts their decision, of course.

'Some are blaming the teams late-season swoon for the slow ticket sales by South Carolina faithful. But Morrison said he hadnt heard that Init has heard several other reasons \^y fans arent heading to the ticket windows.

I Ive heard the distance. Ive heard the weather, and Ive heard the cost, he said at a news conference Monday.

Whatever the reason, the plain fiqt is ticket sales are slow. South Carolina has sold about 3,000 tickets fOr the game about half the total spld by Indiana, according to officials at the two schools. A year (^0. South Carolina took about 43,000 fans to the Gator Bowl, officials shM.

The fans who do go to Memphis, Tenn., will watch the Gamecocks try to win their first bowl game ever. The Gamecocks are 0-7 in bowl games, although Morrison is quick to point out that hes only been on hand for two of those losses.

We re 0-2 in bowl games since weve been here, said Morrison, who has been at South Carolina for six seasons. Were going to go out there and. as every other week, were going to give our best and see what happens.

Under Morrison, the Gamecocks have been in two Gator Bowls and lost both - 21-14 to Oklahoma State in 1984 and 30-13 to LSU last year. Perhaps a change of scenery will mean a change on the scoreboard as well for the Gamecocks, who face an Indiana team that's had nearly the same kind of season as South Carolina.

Indiana is 7-3-1, having lost two of their final three after opening the year 5-0-1. The Gamecocks won their first six games but won only two of their last five games to finish 8-3.

Indiana is a fine football team, Morrison said. Theyre an experienced football team.

As for his own team, Morrison said the Gamecocks are as healthy as they have been all year. But he didnt offer much insight into whatKansas On A Mission

tit stings even worse to be handed c^three-year NCAA probation.

But the deepest pain of all is the embarrassment of being the only basketball champions ever barred fiom defending their title.

tWe want to go out and win every gpme and prove this team was more than just Danny Manning," said guard Scooter Berry, who has dished obt 47 assists and committed just 21 tOrnovers. "We re playing together, apd thats the reason were winning

The Jayhawks are winning indeed. TTieir 7-1 record this week nudged them into the 20th spot in the rank-iOgs, a notable achievement for a squad picked to finish in the second half of the Big Eight race.

Being ranked in the Top Twenty this week is a great reward for a group of kids who have worked very hprd through a lot of adversity to be the best team they can possibly be," said Roy Williams, who replaced Larry Brown as head coach when Brown resigned to become head cbach of the San Antonio Spurs.

In many ways, cracking the Top Twenty this week is almost as proud a feat as beating Oklahoma 83-79 in last springs title game. But no NCAA champions ever had less time to enjoy their conquest because on Nov. 1. before one shot could be taken in the 1988-89 season, the NCAA cited recruiting violations under Brown and staggered the Jayhawks with a three-year probation.

Dogs Get A Day Off

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS. Ga. - Georgia football Coach Vince Dooley gave his football team an early Christmas present-an extra day off.

Up to this point, I have been pleased with all of our practice sessions. for their Jan. 1 date with Michigan State in the Gator Bowl, Dooley said Monday.

Weve shown a great deal of enthusiasm and competitiveness. We had planned on practicing through Thursday, but since the players have worked so hard, were going to let them go home dor Christmas) after Wednesdays workout

> There still were injuries to work ajround.

Sophomore defensive lineman Rob Wainwright hurt his knee in practice Friday and had arthroscopic slirgery Monday. Senior tight end TDrey Sadowski suffered a badly sprained wrist on Saturday and will

can be expected offensively from the Gamecocks, who struggled over the last half of the season to score and at one point reverted to the run-and-shoot, an offense that Morrison scraped in favor of the pro-I this year.

Asked what his plan was offensively, Morrison said: Were going to try to move the football and score some points.

During the news conference, Morrison also reiterated that he was content at South Carolina and isnt interested in leaving.

Ive indicated that I like the University of South Carolina, he said in response to a question, and we made this statement back ... during the course of the year. We have been ! the full route on all this. Ive had the '

opportunity a couple of times to go into the National Football League and have not.

In another matter, Morrison also said he hadnt been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury meeting this week in Columbia that will hear testimony about, among other things, allegations of steroid use by football players at the school.

The grand jury probe stems from allegations by ex-South Carolina football player Tommy Chaikin. In a story in the Oct. 24 issue of Sports Illustrated, Chaikin, who played at South Carolina from 1983 to 1987, said he and other players used steroids and other drugs.

Asked if any of his assistants or players had been subpoenaed, Morrison said: "Not that I know of."

three scholarships and other recruiting restrictions, but being barred from the tournament is what hurt worst.

Players wept at a news conference on the Lawrence campus. A grimfaced Williams, who was already unpopular with many Kansas boosters simply because he had never before been a head coach, insisted the program would survive.

Now. eight games into the season their only loss was to Seton Hall in the title game of the Great Alaska Shootout. Three players are averaging in double figures and a fourth is at 9.9.

A year ago, the Manning-Brown Jayhawks shot 52.1 percent in field goal attempts while holding opponents to 41.2 percent. This year, Williams cast of relative unknowns is hitting 57 percent and holding opponents to 43 percent.

Mark Randall, a forward-center who was redshirted last year, is averaging 19.6 points and 8.5 rebounds. l^nior forward Milt Newton is averaging almost 17 points and six rebounds and guard Kevin Pritchard and forward Mike Mattox are averaging 14.5 and 11.6, respectively

Because of the things that happened this fall, we are in a very unusual situation, said Williams, a former North Carolina assistant. This team has made the decision to try to walk out on the court and improve every day. Im not surprised at how well theyve done. But Ive been very pleased with how the young men have reacted to all the bad news we got. And I still dont think were as good as were going to be.

And if they need something to strive toward, the Jayhawks can set their sights on the 1990 NCAA Tournament. Theyll be eligible for that one.

Dooley said he sees similarities between his Bulldogs and their Gator Bowl opponent; Michigan State, like Georgia, relies on a powerful running game.

Michigan State, featuring tailback Blake Ezor, ended the regular season 16th in the nation in running offense, two spots behind Georgia.

The best way to describe the Michigan State offense is to say that it looks more like our offense than any weve played in a long time, Dooley said. Our strengths and weaknesses are very similar."

Dooley also praised the strong defensive unit" of the Spartans who, he said, "play football the way it was meant to be played."

The Gator Bowl will mark Dooleys finale as Georgias coach, after 25 years. He announced his resignation last week and is pondering a possible run for governor of Georgia in 199U.

Melanie Griffith and escort Don Johnson share a joke at a party Monday night in Los Angeles following the premiere of her new film, Working Girl. The film, directed by Mike Nichols, also stars Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver.

By Jerry Buck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES - Nick at Nite, the cable channel that has revived old sitcoms for prime time, is getting its own new cartoon series.

But Ralph Bakshis Tattertown will fit right in its about discarded objects that come to life.

Bakshi said the concept of Tattertown began as doodling in high school.

Its been in development for 25 years, Bakshi declared. Its my monster. It started in high school as a comic strip. It was an excuse to make fun of who we are by the objects we throw away. Tattertown is a world where everything we once owned comes alive.

Tattertown debuts Wednesday on Nick at Night with a Christmas special that introduces Debbie and her stuffed doll Muffit.

Debbie is the only human in a world where inanimate objects come to life. Muffit becomes the evil ruler of this magical world, while Debbie struggles to bring her back to the real world.

Thirty-nine additional half-hour episodes will be shown on Nick at Nite in 1989 and 1990.

Its nostalgic, with cartoons and stuff from the 1920s and 30s, said Bakshi, who is best known for such adult animated features as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, Coon-skin, The Lord of the Rings and American Pop. He also produces Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures for CBS.

Tattertown, he said, has a kind of 1926 style to it. This is my first true-to-life thing for kids. My other cartoons were more for adults. Its my first step into Disneys world of wholesome stuff for kids. Still, I think adults will like the nostalgia of it.

It wont be as satiric as Mighty Mouse. I think kids will see those wonderful toys running around. I think theyll get it. You cant talk down to them. Well have three kinds of music. Paul Whiteman white-bread music, Duke Ellington sophisticated jazz and hot jazz like Fats Waller and Fletcher Henderson.

Bakshi was in his cramped studios located in what looks like an old motel in Van Nuys. Drawings were

pinned all over the walls, and every inch of space was taken up with animators working on the celluloid frames.

One of his directors, Maurice Noble, worked on Snow White for Walt Disney and on various cartoons at Warner Bros..

Bakshi said he was approached by Nick at Nite after he completed work on Mighty Mouse.

About half the animation will be done at his studios and the rest overseas. We do more animation here than most companies, he said. We do all the key posing and tim

ing. Besides, my motto is if yu dont have animators around who can you yell at?

Bakshi grew up wanting to become another A1 Capp, creator of the newspaper comic strip Lil Abner.

At the age of 21 he became the youngest animator in the business at Terry toons. He was soon promoted to director and at 24 was the studios creative director.

On the side he drew Fearless Fosdick sequences for Capps Lil Abner. He made numerous attempts to start his own comic strip.

praised Collins performance though they were lukewarm to the movie itself.

Collins also didnt intend to put himself in danger in his movie acting debut. However, for an early scene establishing Buster as a small-time thief, Collins said hed bash in a store window himself, using a metal garbage can.

A stuntman said the dustbin could bounce back and hit me in the face. He told me to hold it up in front of my face and make siire no huge splinters fell down and cut my head off.

Collins had beginners luck. When I break the huge plate-glass window, go in. get the dummy and come out. that was one take. he says.

Director David Green got the idea of casting Collins as Buster after seeing the rocker in his first acting role, as the host of a rigged game show on a Miami Vice episode.

Collins described Buster as a bit different from most villains.

A professional thief is what he was. He came out of prison and went straight back inside for shoplifting. For 13 years he has been on the straight. Hes got a flower shop outside Waterloo Station. Hes become a bit of a tourist attraction.

Collins met Buster Edwards. Weve become very good pals, he says. In personality I dont think were that far away. Hes a very friendly bloke; I think I am, too. Our backgrounds are different and we come from different parts of London. Since I was 5 or 6 I just wanted to be involved with music; he obviously didnt have that kind of dream. When Kids were going around causing trouble I was home practicing the drums.

Collins became a drummer in the hit British group Genesis. He revived the groups career in 1976 by stepping forward as vocalist and

PARK THEATRE

1.50 COCKTAILS

TIMES WEEKDAYS 7:00 & 9:00

then he became a major rock soloist.

The movie takes a certain amount of poetic license, Collins said. Busters wife, June (Julie Walters), returns to England from Mexico, where theyd fled. Buster followed because of his love for her. In reality, the rocker says, June didnt like Mexico and they went back to England together. He walked into a police station and gave himself up. In the early 60s if youre working class you never traveled far. You didnt eat spicy food or have a suntan.

When shooting began, the director kept Collins away from the rushes, fearing hed see things hed want to do over. Then Collins happened to walk in while rushes were being shown one day.

I saw a scene I didnt think I was very good in, where I come home from the robbery and have a confrontation with Junes mother. He liked it, which gave him confidence.

or a bridge player by age or sex. A former U.S internationalist learned that lesson the hard way on this deal from a pairs tournament.

Souths jump to four hearts showed the values for a spade game with shortness in hearts. That killed Norths hand right there, so he signed off in four spades. Note that a slam, which depends on even breaks in both pointed suits (spades and diamonds), would be a heavy odds-against proposition.

Declarer was an attractive young lady. Afraid from the bidding that a club lead would help declarer. West tried a low diamond. Declarer captured Easts queen with the ace and drew trumps in two rounds, ending in hand.

Had the game been rubber bridge, the hand would have held no interest. But at duplicate, overtricks were vital. When declarer now con

tinued with a low diamond. West decided that his partner had to have the king. Since he wanted a club lead through declarer. West naively followed with the eight of diamonds. The rbof fell in.

Dummys nine of diamonds won the trick. Declarer came to hand with a heart ruff, cashed the king of diamonds for a club discard and, when the jack dropped, took two more club discards on winning diamonds. She then ruffed her club loser on the board for all the tricks and an outright top.

Note that declarers play of low

diamond could only have gainol.? Had West taken the jack of dJa-_ monds, declarer would still have | been able to take three club pitches, and she would have ended with the r same 12 tricks that were there for ?? the taking from the outset.

Volcano Erupts

TOKYO (AP) - Students stayed home today from schools ndfr a volcano after it erupted fdPUhe first time in 26 years, belching columns of fire and a I )hime of smoke that rose to 6,000 e!l, authorities said.

lo casualties or damages were r^rted from Monday nights eruption of 6,814-foot Mount Tokachi, about 560 miles north of Tdkyo, and a reported mudslide sd^ided by this morning.

The Asahikawa Weather Ober-va^ion Station warned local residais that the volcano could erupt again. Volcanic tremors were cdfltinuing, said a meteorologist

who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Ashes from Mondays eruption were found in two cities more than 60 miles northeast of the volcano, he said.

The eruption countermeasures office in Kamifurano, about 15 miles from the volcano, said 88 students stayed home today from five elementaiT, junior high and high schools within 15 miles of the mountain.

Officials said the students live in areas from which quick evacuation might be difficult, so they are being kept together with their families.

Rescue Costs May Slow Soviet ReformsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Soviet officials say the immense cost of raising new cities from the rubble of the Armenian earthquake will slow Mikhail S. Gorbachevs efforts to achieve social and economic reforms.

Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Batalin told reporters in the Armenian capital of Yerevan on Monday that housing construction will begin next month in the cities and villages destroyed in the Dec: 7 quake, Tass reported.

The new buildings will be significantly more resistant to seismic activity than those that collapsed in the quake, the official news

agency quoted him as saying.

The quake, which measured 6.9 on the Richter scale, leveled the cities of Leninakan, Kirovakan and Spitak, as well as up to 100 villages, and left more than 500,000 people homeless.

Prime Minister Nikolai I. Ryzhkov, who heads a Politburo commission overseeing relief efforts, was quoted by Tass as saying reconstruction will cost much more than the $8.3 billion originally estimated.

He called the destruction enormous and said the disaster and relief effort dealt a palpable blow to the national economy and Gorbachevs campaign for change, Tass reported.

The cost of rebuilding will affect the implementation of the social programs being carried out in the course of economic reform in the U.S.S.R. Ryzhkov said.

Leninakan and Kirovakan will be rebuilt on the same sites, while Spitak will be shifted to a spot where there is less danger of another earthquake, according to Ryzhkov. New buildings will not exceed three to four stories.

Almost every building of more than five stories collapsed in the quake, and officials all the way up to Gorbachev have criticized shoddy construction they say contributed to a death toll in the tens of thousands.

The Communist Party daily Prav-

da estimated Monday that 40,000-45,000 people were killed in the quake, at least 10,000 fewer than an earlier toll of 55,000 given by Soviet officials.

Ryzhkov announced that a government commission was formed to investigate technical violations in the construction of high-rise apartments and other buildings in an area of seismic danger.

Since the quake, thousands of people have been living in tents or in the open air, and the onset of winter in the Caucasus Mountains of the southern Soviet Union has dealt survivors and rescue workers alike one more hardship.

Farmers To See Costs Going Up

By Don Kendall

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Projections by the Agriculture Department show that farmers will face significantly higher crop production costs next year than they did in 1988 when drought and heat parched much of the nation.

The departments Economic Research Service says two forces will be at work: farmers will see higher prices for some important "inputs, or items needed to produce crops, and they will be planting more acres.

Economist Mir Ali says the overall price index for all production items, including interest, taxes and wages, may rise only about 5 percent, compared with a 7 percent gain in 1988.

But seed prices by themselves are expected to go up 5 percent, compar^ to a 1 percent increase this year. Ferti izer prices, which rose 8 percent in 1988, are expected to increase 9 percent next year. Agricultural chemicals weedkillers and pesticides - may rise 5 percent, compared with a 2 percent increase in 1988.

Tractors and self-propelled machines, including combines, may average 7 percent higher, compared with this years price increase of 6 percent, while other machinery may go up 6 percent against 1988s 5 percent price gain.

Price increases are expected to ease a bit for some major items, including: automobiles and trucks, up 5 percent, compared with an 8 percent gain in 1988; and fuels and energy, up 2 percent, compared with 3 percent this year.

At USDAs recent outlook conference, agency economists said 1989 farm production costs, or expenditures, may increase 4 percent to 6 percent from this year, reflecting larger plantings and price increases for some items.

"Both seed and fertilizer costs may rise 16 percent to 20 percent, reflecting increased planted acreage in 1989, and 5 percent to 10 percent increases in fertilizer and seed prices, one report said.

The report added: "Fuels and p^ticide expenses are projected to increase from 10 percent to 15 percent, primarily due to larger feed grain and food grain planted acreage.

Further, it said, the impact of the 1988 drought and the boost in 1989 crop acreages "will be evident in virtually all categories of farm expenses next year.

"Marketing, storage and transportation costs could rise 20 percent to 30 percent as production rebounds, the report said. "The improved financial health of farmers with large inventories of crops at the beginning of 1988, and of those whose production was not badly damaged by drought, could generate substantial purchases of farm machinery in 1989.

Judge OKs Eastern Shuttle Sale

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Billionaire Donald Trump says a federal judges refusal to block his purchase of Eastern Airlines Northeastern air shuttle means he can begin service in February on what will be "the best airline there is.

But union leaders, disappointed by Mondays court ruling, said they would appeal the decision and vowed to carry on their struggle against the management of beleaguered Eastern.

U.S. District Judge Barrington D. Parker ruled Monday that the $365 million cash deal could proceed.

In so doing, he rejected union arguments that Easterns parent company, Texas Air Corp., wanted to shed the profitable shuttle in its continuing effort to break Easterns unions by dismantling the airline and eventually reconstituting it as a non-union company.

The court feels that equally plausible is the idea that management is seeking to rebuild the company and place it on a sound financial footing, Parker wrote.

Company officials have insisted that their goal in selling the shuttle is to acquire cash for Eastern, which spokesman Robin Matell said lost $233.7 million over the first nine months of 1988 and has been losing money for years. The shuttle had average annual profits of $17 million over the last five years, Matell said.

Before the deal can be completed, the Department of Transportation must rule that Trump can operate the shuttle safely and manage it effectively.

Rocky Mount 977-7862Drought-Depressed Economy Has Slowest Growth In Nearly 2 Years

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - The economy, held back by the summer drought, expanded at a moderate annual rate of 2.5 percent last summer, the slowest pace in nearly two years, the government said today.

The Commerce Department said ,the gross national product, the /broadest measure of economic health, slowed in the third quarter after growing at a robust 3.4 percent pace in the first quarter and 3.0 percent in the second.

That would be good news for analysts worried that the economy is overheating and becoming inflationary, except that the underlying strength is being masked by the temporary effects of the drought, which seared pastures and shriveled crops. That knocked $12.3 billion off the GNP, which was at an inflation and seasonally adjusted annual level of $4.01 trillion in the July-

September period.

Excluding the drought, the GNP grew 3.9 percent in the second quarter and 3.0 percent in the third.

The GNP figure for the third quarter was a slight downward revision from a preliminary estimate of 2.6 percent issued a month ago. Most economists had been looking for a sli^it upward adjustment. It was the slowest pace of expansion since the fourth quarter of 1986.

Most of the downward revision was accounted for by a larger-than-previously-thought decline in government spending.

The department also increased its estimate of inflation. A price index tied to GNP and adjusted to exclude the effects of changes in buying patterns increased at an annual rate of 5.3 percent in the third quarter, up from 5.0 percent in the second and the fastest pace in six years.

In an accompanying report, the Commerce Department said cor

porate profits after taxes advanced 3.9 i^rcent in the third quarter after soaring 8.9 percent in the second quarter. An earlier estimate had said third quarter profits rose only a slight 0.2 percent.

Although GNP growth, at least for the third quarter, has slowed to the 2.0 to 2.5 percent ^ge that the Federal Reserve Bom considers sustainable without inflation, most analysts believe the economy is re

bounding in the current quarter. But again, the drought is likely to artificially lower the GNP number.

Fed members fear that a GNP growth rate higher than the target range will strain factory capacity, leading to shortages and resulting price increases. Also, by boosting employment, the growth encourages employers to bid up the prices of attracting qualified workers by raising wages. The cure is higher interest rates designed to make it more ex-

>ensive for consumers and )usinesses to spend.

"The Feds tightening since March has had only a marginal impact on the economy. With growth so strong and jobs so strong it looks like the economy has continued to march on, said Paul W. Boltz, an economist with T. Rowe Price Associates, a financial services firm in Baltimore.

The Fed capped a series of tightening moves in mid-August by boosting the discount rate, the rate it charges for loans to member banks, by a half percentage point to 6.5 percent.

When the numbers came in for August and September, it seemed as if the dose of tighter money was working. The unemployment rate, after hitting a 14-year low of 5.3 percent in June, jumped to 5.6 percent in August, the Feds closely watched measure of factory operating rates was holding steady.

Speaking from his New York office, Trump said he expected to receive that approval in time to begin operating his newly dubbed Trump Shuttle in February.

I dont think so, the real estate magnate said when asked if he planned to expand or contract the shuttles service. The plan is to operate the best airline there is. Well look at future growth later on.

Trump, who owns casinos and hotels in Atlantic City, N.J., The Plaza Hotel in New York and other glittery holdings, said he will repaint the shuttles jetliners with gold, black and red stripes, redecorate them, check them for safety and "probably add brand new planes.

Currently, 850 of Easterns 30,000 employees work for the shuttle, which operates hourly flights between Washington, New York and Boston. Eastern has promised jobs for shuttle workers who wish to remain with the company.
