Snow, Sleet Slowing Travelers From Rockies To Great Lakes

By Michael Hirsh

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A shroud of snow, sleet and freezing rain stretching from the Rockies and upper Plains to Ohio stymied holiday travelers in choked airports and on snarled, icy highways, causing at least nine traffic deaths.

Before warmer air began moving in today, the storm just seven days into winter sank wind chills to minus 45 degrees and dropped up to a foot of snow, closing interstates in five states and causing a department store roof to collapse in Utah.

Luckily they didnt open the store or we would have had a major catas

trophe, said Salt Lake County Fire Department Capt. Max Berry.

Managers of the Fred Meyer store denied entry to customers when they arrived Monday morning to find the roof sagging and creaking from 6-foot-high snow drifts. It collapsed soon afterward, but no injuries were reported.

Mondays storm meant terminal gridlock at OHare International Airport in Chicago, the nations busiest, where only two runways were open most of Monday and United Airlines, O'Hares heaviest user, canceled most outbound flights after 5 p.m.

The cancellations stranded nearly

50,000 passengers. United spokesman Rob Doughty said 50 percent of the flights would remain cancelled until late this morning.

Other means of transportation were just as unpromising on the day after Christmas, one of the busiest travel days of the year.

I was stuck last year on Christmas Eve at the airport, so I thought this year Id take the bus. Wrong! said Jan Gabrielson of Cincinnati, who spent several hours at Chicagos Greyhound bus terminal while returning from a Christmas trip to Iowa.

In Indiana, the winter weather caused a tractor-trailer to jackknife on Interstate 69, triggering a 42-car

pileup that left one person dead and 23 injured. An unrelated 35-car pileup on the highway injured eight people.

Altogether, five people died in Indiana traffic accidents blamed on the storm.

Farmers welcomed the storm ia North Dakota, which like much of the region had suffered a severe drought. Up to 11 inches fell on parts of the state.

Its good news. said wheat farmer Peter Silbernagel of Linton. N.D. It greatly improves the outlook for spring planting."

Americans Sign Giant Card For Soviets

The Associated Press

Denver man keeps snow shovel handy on slippery bike ride

CHICAGO. (AP) - Iowa businessman James Lawlors quest to tally 2 million signatures for what he calls Americas greeting card to Russia hit the road on a snowy day worthy of the Russian steppes.

Lawlor was undeterred by low temperatures and blowing snow across the Midwest on Monday as he set out on his eight-city tour to collect signatures for the 45-by-12-foot scroll-like Christmas card.

Lawlor, who owns a safety goggle manufacturing company in Fairfield. Iowa, said he woke up Dec. 1 with the notion of sending a message of peace ... from one superpower to another.

He had a huge card made that

says, in Russian, Dear Mr. (Soviet leader Mikhail) Gorbachev, We citizens of the United States of America wish to extend to you and the people of the Soviet Union our great appreciation for your courage and dedication in bringing peace to the world. Merry Christmas.

Under the Russian Orthodox church calendar, Christmas is celebrated on Jan. 7, but the main winter holiday in the Soviet Union is New Years Day.

Lawlor has already affixed to the card 30,(K)0 signatures that arrived by mail from all over the United States, including those of former Democratic presidential candidates Michael Dukakis and

Jesse Jackson, several state governors and singer-actress Barbra Streisand.

He said he hopes to ship the greeting to the Soviet Union from New York on Saturday. But the truck driver who volunteered to drive the paperboard cargo didnt seem so sure.

Bad roads all the way, said driver David Larson, shaking his head he parked a 48-foot tractor trailer in the center of Chicagos downtown Daley Plaza. He was already an hour behind schedule, bringing the card on the first leg of its trip.

In Chicago, Mayor Eugene Sawyer was the first here to sign, writing Merry Christmas and

God Bless." and declaring the card a tremendous idea."

Lawlor said he believes the outpouring has been great because "the achievements of the two superpowers in recent months is something that is being accepted all around."

Mailed responses included letters. Christmas cards and drawings of holiday bells and trees and bows. People sent photos of their children or of themselves in Santa hats. A man in Hawaii sent a photo of a group of people wearing the states famous flower leis.

The Gene Gordon family of Orange; Calif., drew a red ham-

88 Leaf May Fill Quota

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There might be 80 million pounds of leftover flue-cured tobacco in North Carolina and four other Southern states from this years season enough to fill much of the increased federal sales quota for next year, tobacco experts say.

There is certainly a lot of tobacco thats been produced thats being held, said William Toussaint, a professor in N.C. State Universitys

department of economics and business who also works as an extension service agent.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture sets a quota each year for how much leaf a farmer can sell. If a grower does not meet the quota, he can carry the difference over from one year to the next, to be used when he has a more productive crop. If a farmer produces more than the

Day-After Shoppers Keep Stores Busy

By Greg Laudick

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Local retail managers found the prosperous yuletide season far from over Monday as scores of sale-seeking shoppers spent a sunny and warm day-after-Christmas inside area malls and shopping centers.

Although Santas sleigh had come and gone on Sunday, mall parking lots and commercial roadways such as Greenville Boulevard and Memorial Drive on Monday resembled the same frantic, holiday pace of the. past several weeks.

Harvey G. Lindsay, manager of Carolina East Mall, described customer traffic on Monday as both strong and consistent.

He said most stores at the mall resumed normal operating schedules Monday, while some opened

earlier than usual to accomodate extra shoppers lured by sales and those customers wishing to exchange merchandise or request purchase refunds.

I would say most stores had a large reduction in inventory yesterday from the look of all the people carrying shopping bags, he said.

At K-mart on Greenville Boulevard, a post-holiday sale on Christmas merchandise Monday contributed to an estimated 6 percent gain in revenues compared to the day after Christmas last year, said Manager Jerry Powers.

Business was very brisk. We probably sold more units of merchandise yesterday than we did on Christmas Eve, he said.

Powers said Mondays shopping crowd started early, as approximately 60 people were waiting to get into the store at its 8 a.m, opening.

We had all the cash registers open all day long, he said.

Despite the fact that Christmas was behind them, people were eager to purchase sale-priced Christmas decorations.

Gift wrap was especially popular yesterday. It seems as though there was a roll or two in every shopping cart, Powers said.

At J. C. Penney at The Plaza mall, store Manager Bill Hopper said business on Monday continued at the strong holiday pace.

Overall we were very pleased with the turnout yesterday, he said.

Hopper indicated refund requests for Christmas purchases have traditionally been prevalent the week immeaiately following Dec. 25.

Usually refunds are heavy the day after Christmas, but yesterday we were pleasantly surprised by the large numbers seeking to exchange

gifts, he said. The customers shopping on Monday were either in a buying mood, looking for good values, or were in an exchange mood.

The Associated Press reported similar post-Christmas activity across the state and nation.

The day after Christmas is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, and this year, retailers reveled in a happy coincidence that gave most people the day off to return gifts and swarm around sale tables.

Its packed, itll be maxed out today, said Lora Dubbs, manager of the 269-store Galleria in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale. The malls department stores opened Monday two hours early, at 8 a.m., she said.

In San Diego County, dressing-room lines were so long at the Nordstroms department store in the North County Fair mall that men

took their bargain duds to the mens restroom to try on.

In Indiana, stores were packed with shoppers looking for deals and) returning gifts that weren't quite right. Returns increase at least tenfold the day after Christmas, said Rod Rumrill, manager of the Brownsburg Kmart.

In Minnesota, consumers were welcome to make i-elurns with few questions asked, said George Hite, a spokesman for Target Stores, in Minneapolis.

Returned items ranged from clothing to telephone answering machines, Hite said.

What happens (with answering machines) is people realize nobodys calling them, said Hite. We get a lot back.

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

A Raleigh dentist, who was killed along with his fiancee in a fiery Christmas Eve crash of a private plane, lived in Greenville twice while he was a student at East Carolina College in the early 1950s.

William Riley Spencer, 55, and Cynthia Lou Dockery, 35, both of Raleigh, died at the scene of the crash near Mount Airy. The couple, who planned to be married in 1989, were en route to visit Ms. Dockerys family near Dobson in Surry County about 10 miles southwest of Mount Airy. They were coming here for Christmas, said her brother, Dick Dockery.

According to his nephew, Ed Atkins of Raleigh. Spencer graduated from high school in Draper (now part of Eden) in 1950 and entered East Carolina College the next fall. He attended two years, then joined the Army for two years and went back to East Carolina for two more years. He obtained a bachelors degree in science at ECC in about 1956, after which he entered dental school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1959. .

While he was in Greenville, he worked to support himself and pay for much of his education, his nephew said. Mostly he was employed at College View Laundry and Cleaners packaging and delivering clothes and linens.

Dockery said that his sister and Spencer left Raleigh Saturday and tried to make it to Mount Airy.

They encountered low clouds on

their approach to the Mount Airy airport. They went back to Winston-Salem and called. The weather lifted a little bit, and they thought they could make it, he said.

They passed over the airport (at Mount Airy) and were making a circle back around. They couldnt make it in - the (cloud) ceiling was too low. They hit some trees coming in, Dockery said.

The plane disappeared from radar screens about 7 p.m. Saturday and was discovered about four miles from the Mount Airy Airport about 2 p.m. Sunday. The wreckage was on top of a small mountain ridge about 10 miles off the main road in Surry Countys Chestnut Ridge area.

Spencer had been in practice in Raleigh since 1961. He was a past president of the Raleigh-Wake County Dental Society and, according to Atkins, was active in preventive dentistry circles in the state.

Ms Dockery was a realtor employed by Howard Perry and Walston Realtors of Raleigh. She previously had done real estate brokerage work in Wilmington, having moved to Raleigh three months ago. The two had met in Wilmington in the spring of 1987.

Spencer was honored this year with a lifesaving award by the Wilmington Red Cross for saving a man from drowning at Wrightsville Beach in May. Spencer ran 200 yards from his beach house to the ocean and then swam 50 feet to reach Hirofumi S. Brocker, 22, who was unconscious in the water. He and another man pulled Brocker to shore.

Black Students Isolated After Racial Clashes In China

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Authorities today held about 140 African students and six Americans in a Nanking hotel after a weekend of clashes between Chinese and black African students.

Thousands of Chinese yo^ths chanting Kill the black ghosts! on Monday surrounded the central Chinese citys train station as the students tried to depart for the capital by rail, American witnesses said.

But police would not let the Africans embark, one American student said.

Chinese students at a university in Nanking did not attend classes today and officials at another school urged students not to participate in further demonstrations, American students said.

Several truckloads of police patrolled the city, Americans said.

Spill Kills 400 Birds

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OCEAN SHORES, Wash. - Volunteers treated 700 waterfowl in a makeshift bird hospital, as 100 more birds were found dead in the wake of a 70,000-gallon oil spill.

The cleanup of contaminated beaches should be completed by the middle of the week, Ron Holcomb of the state Department of Ecology said Monday.

The spill occurred Thursday when the oil barge Nestucca collided with the tug Ocean Express, which was towing it off Grays Harbor.

Oil-fouled waterfowl have been reported as far as 40 miles north of

this coastal resort town, with 400 birds found dead since the spill occurred. About 700 contaminated birds have been plucked from beaches and given fluids and food at a makeshift bird hospital at the Ho-quiam Middle School.

About 100 birds had been scrubbed to remove the oil from their feathers as of late Monday, said Jay Holcomb of the International Bird Rescue Research Center in Berkeley, Calif.

The rescued waterfowl, mostly open-ocean birds such as murres, are being fed twice a day with smelt. Of those treated, 25 percent to 65 percent are expected to survive, officials said.

Stores Still Busy

Leaf

(Continued from A-1) quota, the tobacco is stockpiled and sold during a leaner crop year.

The result of the carry-over process is what is called the effective quota, which indicates actual sales in a given crop year. In the past year, more leaf was produced than could be sold under the effective quota.

Two-thirds of the nations flue-cured tobacco is grown in North Carolina. There also is surplus tobacco in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Toussaint said.

With the leftover leaf, some farmers might be able to meet the new, higher quota without having to add acreage in tobacco.

Assuming the price goes up again as it did this past year, it could mean a lot more money for farmers in the state, Toussaint said. But it also means that the extra amount of tobacco being produced will not be that much extra because of the large amount of leaf held over.

But its good news, he said. Its still good news.

Chinese teachers and students think this is improper, especially with African men, said a U.S. diplomat.

The diplomat, who talked with American students held in the hotel, said they were being treated well but wanted to return to their universities.

The average student feels he is being held against his will, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said five American women and one man were among the students held. Their names were not made public.

Huang Jie, an official at the Jiangsu province foreign affairs office, said most of the students had returned to their schools. But the U.S. diplomat and officials at several schools in Nanking said this was not true. '

The U.S. official also said that

ambassadors from three African countries met with the African students today to talk about their safety concerns.

The incident in Nanking began when African students at Hehai University wanted to bring two Chinese women to a party but refused a guards request for the womens identification.

In a brawl that followed, 11 Chinese and two Africans were injured, Ithe official Xinhua news agency reported.

Later Sunday, Hehais 70 African students fled the school for the Nanking train station where they were joined by Africans from other schools, along with the six Americans.

On Sunday night, Chinese police stopped them from taking a train to Beijing.

Monday afternoon, a crowd of about 5,000 Chinese marched to the train station and 2,000 succeeded in

getting around a police barricade, American witnesses said.

The Africans only left the train station after Chinese officials told them they would let the Chinese students inside if they didnt leave.

However, other Americans said they believed the fundamental nature of the protests remained anti-black.

Lynn Berglund described the activity at a store in Kingsford. Most people seemed to be sweeping up holiday items at bargain prices, Berglund said. Wrapping paper was most popular.

But in Boston, cashiers at Filenes Basement looked disappointed when the expected crowds failed to materialize at the famed bargain mecca by noon Monday.

I kind of look forward to them, said Nelda Scott, referring to the traditional post-holiday shopping crowd. It can be fun if the custom-ers are nice.

Store clerks said that the confusion over store hours Monday may have contributed to the lesser turnout. A judge ruled last week against retailers who sought permission to open all day Monday.

Although Filenes and other stores around Bostons Downtown Crossing appeared quieter than normal, other shopping malls in the region reported good turnouts.

The stores picked up around noon, said Beth Chase, a clerk at Bloomingdales at the Chestnut Hill Mall. I think a lot of people got up late, had brunch and then went shopping.

But some store managers already had their minds on other holiday happiness to sell.

NEW YORK (AP) - A 13-year-old boy died was crushed to death in a compactor behind the supermarket managed by his father, police said.

Andre Duran Jr. was stuffing cardboard boxes into the machine at the C-Town Supermarket in the Bronx on Monday night when he became caught, said Officer Edward Feeney, a police spokesman.

Keep It Short

Warrens Resolution A Useful One

Everyone but the most consummate legislative prima donna must be in favor of a resolution proposed by Rep. Ed Warren, D-Pitt, to limit the 1990 short session of the General Assembly.

Its a pity that it cant be applied to the 1989 regular session ... but that would require a special session which might stretch on into the new year.

Warrens resolution will set limits on the items eligible for consideration in the short session. He cites the cost of overly long sessions. The one in 1988 lasted 40 days and its cost was about $1.09 million.

This cost, which burdens the taxpayers, is unnecessary. But the expense is not the only consideration. The longer lawmakers stay in Raleigh, the longer the list of irrelevant bills becomes. Legislators use the session to introduce all kinds of legislation much of it unrelated tb budget-making then pui^h these issues through without the thorough debate a regular session would provide. That is counterproductive.

Once the Legislature met only biennially and it was an urgent occurrence if a special session was called. As it became more difficult to project revenues the Legislature began holding short sessions during off years to make adjustments in the budget to reflect more accurate revenue projections.

Now this has become a regular event. The problem is that legislators find it convenient to introduce bills not related to the budget and bring up other matters. Consequently the North Carolina General Assembly is rapidly becoming one which meets annually. The next step could be sessions which last most of the year and with full time legislators.

North Carolina doesnt need this. There are citizens who say they feel better when the lawmakers go home. When the General Assembly is not in session no new initiatives can be undertaken.

Be that as it may, the Legislature should not stand by and allow its short sessions which by definition should be short to become long ones. The business of adjusting the budget can be done in a limited time and other matters should wait until their proper place in the full legislative session.Air SecurityPan Am Crash Makes Sad Point

A Pan Am Boeing 747 crashes into a Scottish town. There is no warning of trouble and no one on the ground reports anything that might have caused the crash. The weather is not a factor and the plane is cruising at a high altitude.

The obvious suspicion in this time of terrorism is sabotage.

That was the situation last week as a somber world digested the news of the jets crash killing all 258 on board and an unknown number of the ground. It is likely that the plane was suddenly disabled. Otherwise we can assume the crew would have attempted to guide it to a sparsely populated area. As it is, the wreckage of the aircraft is scattered over many miles and the impact dug a huge ditch in the ground.

Following the crash it is reported that threats had been made to bring down a an airliner during December in retaliation of the destruction of an Iranian civilian airline in the Persian Gulf by a U.S. warship prior to the end of hostilities there.

At last weeks end, though the planes recorder had been located, investigators were not ready to say the aircraft had indeed been sabotaged. It may take weeks to sort through the wreckage and no final conclusion may ever be made.

There are many troubling questions surrounding the crash. Was it correct not to inform passengers on flights from Frankfurt of a threat made earlier in December to the airline? Was security beefed up on these flights enough to avert any possible danger or to intercept any sabotage? If not, why? Avoidance is the best defense to terrorism.

Now we can only mourn the dead and resolve that terrorists at war with the world wont succeed in bringing civilian air travel to a halt.

The freedom to travel is essential to individuals and to international commerce. Somehow we must find ways to make certain that not even the threat of terrorist acts will remain to threaten the safety of peaceful traveling citizens. And nations must find ways to guarantee that civilian aircraft wont be involved in ars.

' This fnljr be the greatest challenge awaiting the world in the 1990s.

A House Haunted By Technology

BOSTON - My husband and I are hiding something in the attic. From time to time we talk about it. Occasionally we even climb the stairs and visit it. Every New Year we resolve to deal with it. But instead we just feel guilty about it.

This mysterious and shamefully neglected inhabitant of the third floor is a benign, indeed 1 am told, user-friendly home computer. We bought it for each other five years ago, lured by the image of easy home work and push-button communications. The image and the computer remain. It is the users who are absent.

Mind you, neither of us is computer phobic. I have one computer at the office, another for the road. But I freeze on the steps to the attic like a character out of Jane Eyre. I have balked at the effort to store yet another computer program in my own memory chip. I dont want to learn how.

I suspect that I am suffering from overload. The start-up costs of technologically improving my life have increased beyond the benefits. It is getting harder and harder to make my home life easier.

Forget the attic stairs, and consider the VCR in the den. The one we

EUen

Goodman

own can perform an extraordinary number of tricks, or so it tells me. 1 know six of them intimately. It has the capacity, the knowledge, the ability to record television shows for 21 straight days! Bully.

The digital radio in the car 1 have had for two years can be set electronically to five stations. I have done it half a dozen times, the E-Z instruction booklet open on my lap in traffic. But for the past months the buttons have been frozen on hard rock and I have been frozen in apathy.

These problems are minimal compared to a friend who spent Christmas week trying to intellectually conquer her sophisticated new music system. She would have done better with Swahili. They are nothing compared to the guidelines that came with a colleagues electronic treadmill, tracing a sta

tionery road map up the aerobic path and down again. Nor do they measure up to the difficulty of the coffee maker that will grind beans, drip brew, deliver it on time, and walk the dog if my friend could only tell it how.

These complex improvements in our lives are like a series of tests that require some continuing course of Adult Education. Our new appliances no longer turn off and on. They must be programmed. The dishwasher and the oven no longer have mere switches. They have functions, and their prime function is to make us feel dysfunctional.

There is a moment I remember from Lettice and Lovage, the Peter Shaffer play running in London, when his delightful eccentric character confesses herself to be functionally illiterate in this new world. It grows every day, she says. Computers. Screens. Bleeps and buttons. Processors. Every day more...bank cards, phone cards. Software. Discs. JVC, VCR, ABC, DEF. I cant work any of it! I am the foreigner.

To a less extreme degree, most of us experience that of alienation in the world. But whats remarkable is how easily people can feel dumb in

their own homes, surrounded by domestic mysteries, poring over instruction pamphlets to learn ways of doing things we arent sure we want todo.

I suppose I could master these booklets of technical instructions that fill my library, hire a teacher and take a course in Modern Household 101, winter semester. I could learn to spread sheets and time coffee and communicate with my modem.

But if everyday life has become far too complicated, learning to function up to the standards of its tools and timetables is not my idea of simplifying. At the risk of disappointing machines and the expectations of their creators, I have adopted, willy-nilly, a sort of passive resistance.

Some machines I use minimally, storing its other functions like yogurt-makers of Christmas past. Others I seem to go on failing to learn.

If that means there is a dusty computer on the third floor, well, ours is not the only house haunted by modern technology.

Guilty Of Arrogance & Neglect

Richard

Cohen

WEST PALM BEACH -On Dec. 5, the government received a tip that a bomb would be placed on a Pan Am flight from Frankfurt to the United States. On Dec. 7, the Federal Aviation Administration warned airports, carriers and American embassies abroad about the terrorist

threat. On Dec 8,1 boarded a Pan Am flight from Frankfurt to New York. 1

After every airline disaster, we hear about the almosts. These are the people who almost boarded the plane, who got delayed in traffic, who got bumped at the last moment, who lost their passport or, for some other reason, failed to make the doomed flight. I am not one of those.

I raise a different issue: Should I have been informed of the heightened peril? I wonder why embassy employees in Moscow were told of the terrorist threat in a bulletin board notice (Post leaves to the discretion of the individual traveler on altering personal travel....) why, in short, they had information that was denied me. I wonder because I consider my life to be as valuable as theirs.

And I make the same claim for the 258 people on Pan Am Flight 103. Some of them were persons of note - a high U.N. official, for instance, and someone from the Justice Department. But we are not in the business of playing airborne triage: deciding whose life is worth saving and whose is not. If State Department personnel were told to use their own discretion when traveling back to the States, so should have every one else.

Its easy to bash the State Department, but three U.S. diplomats were on Pan Am 103. They had been stationed in Lebanon, a hardship post unlike almost any other. Like other American diplomats around the world, those in Lebanon live in some peril and their lives are onerous. Ironically, they must have breathed a sigh of relief when their plane took off. At last, they were safe.

For failing to inform the public of the terrorist threat, the government has explanations aplenty. It says that such tips are routine maybe as many as one a day. But if that was the case, why was this one posted in Moscow for the benefit of American diplomats? It seems this particular tip was being treated with more seriousness than usual. It seems someone - probably the embassys security officer thought it prudent to attach more weight to this one.

The government also says and President-elect George Bush affirms that publicizing such tips would cripple the U.S. airline industry. They have a point. It is the United States, not, say,

Switzerland, that is a terrorist target. Knowing of a terrorist inreai and given the choice between flying Pan Am (or TWA) and Swissair, who would not choose Swissair? I would. For one thing, the food is better.

And what about our anti-terrorist effort? By publicizing tips, the government not only alerts the public but the terrorist as well. They might abandon an operation they might otherwise be caught attempting and, in the process, search out the informant. Antiterrorist operations are cloaked in secrecy, but we know that some arrests come when an operation is attempted.

These are difficult, headache-inducing problems. But the governments approach to them seems to be the one parents take with children: Do not worry your little head. Having said that, we are then assured that everything has been done to ensure our safety. Maybe.

Pan Am, the U.S. government and the German government say that security was tightened at Frankfurt. Not that I could see. This particular traveler breezed through security. My carry-on bags were x-rayed, but not searched. As for the luggage I checked, at no time before the flight did I have to identify my bags. This is one way to ensure that no one checks a bag and then fails to take the plane. In times of tension, it is standard procedure even routine on some airlines and at some airports.

So I sit here, happy to be visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating my fathers 80th birthday. As a journalist, I recognize the dilemmas that face the government and the airlines. Given the silly bravado of my profession, I might have flown Pan Am from Frankfurt to New York anyway. But the choice would have been mine. ^ <

The passengers on Pan Am Flight 103 were given no such choice They were not told of the tip, that security had been heightened that in Moscow U.S. Embassy employees were given information that they did not have. The conclusion is inescapable: Some lives were valued over others. The functioning, even the profitability, of the airlines was placed over human life.

The government, no matter what its motives, is guilty of arrogance - and maybe negligence too. The questions it has to deal with are difficult beyond comprehension. But the most difficult question of all now comes from the loved ones of those who died in Pan Am 103: Why werent the passengers told?

I nty uaiiy neTiecior, ureenvine, N.u. luesaay. uecemperz/, i^ooGardner Bones Up On How State Senate Works

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH Lt. Gov.-elect Jim Gardner, whose last involvement with a legislative body was 20 years ago as a member of the U.S. House, has embarked on a crash course on how the Senate works.

Im nervous because it is something I havent done, Gardner said. But once I get in it and just in the process of doing it every day things will fall into place. 1 dont think anybody expects me to step in there opening day and know all of it.

At noon on Jan. 11, Jim Gardner will gavel the 1989 state Senate into

session, becoming the first Republican to preside over the chamber since Charles A. Reynolds served from 1897 to 1901.

Gardners textbooks are the Institute of Governments Handbook for Legislators and a 31-page pamphlet known as the Permanent Rules of the 1987 Senate. To learn the language of the Senate, hes listening to tapes of previous debates, including a 1987 battle over legislation creating new Superior Court districts around North Carolina.

His instructors include former Gov. Jim Holshouser, who will be Gardners legislative counsel; former Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green, a

Democrat and an adviser to Republican Gov. Jim Martin; and the Senate principal clerk, Sylvia Fink.

Besides a series of sessions with Mrs. Fink, he has toured the General Assemblys two buildings and has sought the advice of former lieutenant governors, including Green and Robert W. Scott, who later became governor and is president of the state community college system.

Gardner also has had weekly sessions with Martin about the role of the lieutenant governor and has met almost daily with state Republican Chairman R. Jack Hawke Jr., an adviser and friend, to talk over political strategy.

This month Gardner resigned as president of Gardner Foods Inc., which owns a chain of barbecue restaurants and a wholesale food distributing company. He said he no longer would receive a salary from the company, which he and his brother own.

Mastering the Senate rules could be the most daunting task Gardner faces in his preparations to take office.

In the last session, 77 rules governed Senate procedures, covering topics from the daily order of business to Senate decorum and the conduct of debates. The rules can be changed by a majority vote of the Senate.

Allies of Gardner, both in and out of the Senate, say some initial stumbles are certain, but they expect him to quickly learn the Senate rules and procedures.

Senate Minority Leader Ur^y

Cobb, R-Mecklenburg, said Gar ners main task is to become a master of procedure.

Youve got to learn the rules, he said. Then the actual presiding.

you just get the knack of it over a period of time.

One advantage of having Gardner as presiding officer is that the Senates 13 Republican lawmakers, who will be seated on the back row of the Senate chamber, should find it easier to be recognized during in debates, Cobb said.

He will probably be able to see the back row a little bit better than his predecessor could, Cobb said.

Durham Police Turning To Schools To Halt Spread Of Youth Ganges

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DURHAM - Durham police soon "will be making their presence felt in the citys middle schools in an effort .to curtail what they say is an increasing problem with youth gangs.

The police program in Durham was spurred, in part, by a year-long police {H'obe into youth gang activi-

hr, said Sgt. T.M. Deck of the Durhar

im Police Department.

. "Sgt. Deck said at least five organized gangs thrive in Durham, including four recognized groups known as Mean to the Bone, The GQs, The Posse and The Cornwallis Crew. Each group has about 25 or 30 members, some as young as jo, he said.

Most gang members begin their trouble-making with minor offenses ; such as splashing graffiti in public ; {daces. Deck said. But some of the ^youths end up involved in more serious crimes, like purse-snat-^diings or drug dealing. Police say many members carry weapons that * are stolen or bought on the street from criminals.

Recently, police said, a dispute be-' tween two gangs over a girl erupted ' in gunfire at an apartment complex. Gang members shot at each other in fKe rarking lot, hitting apartment windows and barely missing bystanders, including a woman holding a baby.

Police said the two groups started fighting Nov. 10 and the situation escalated into a shoot-out the follow

ing Saturday night, Nov. 12. Ten Durham High School students who belong to the Mean to the Bone gang and about eight Hillside High students from The Posse were involved in the skirmish, in which members hid sawed-off shotguns under their jackets, police said.

Despite the gunfire, no one was hurt.

Two men were arrested as a result of the incident, said Durham police officer D.P. Brown, and other arrests are pending.

Although violence sometimes arises. Deck said, most young people do not join gangs with the intention of making trouble. Instead, police think, they are attracted by their peers.

It all comes from the need to belong and to associate and have that close camaraderie, Deck said. A lot of it comes from not really having anything constructive to do.

The groups often claim parks and other public areas as their turf. Members often meet at the parks, spray painting streets, walls and storefronts.

They also try to establish a certain trademark. For example. Deck said, one of the gangs is known for wearing baseball caps backward.

But gangs wearing similar fashions is not what worries community leaders like Jaki Green, director of the Edgemont Community Center, which serves the Few Gardens public housing project.

Were not talking about kids who

just wear T-shirts alike, she said. Were talking about children who are being manipulated by adult crime.

Gang members are easy prey to drug dealers and other criminals who lure them into illicit activities, authorities said. Drug dealers often make lucrative offers to kids, offers that are more attractive than legitimate jobs.

Theyve got the upper hand because theyve got the money, Deck said.

Given the choice, he said, many youths will choose to be a lookout during a drug deal and make $100 an hour, rather than making $3.50 an hour at a fast-food restaurant.

Ms. Green said juveniles also seek gangs for the kind of bonding they might not get at home. The Edgemont center provides individual and group counseling to about 200 children of all ages on a weekly basis. Ms. Green said the center provides programs, such as special-interest field trips, to point young people in positive directions.

Adolescents are referred to the center through juvenile court, by social workers and parents. Occasionally, they come on their own, Ms. Green said.

She stressed that a comprehensive strategy is needed to help juveniles develop good self-images without gangs. Parents, schools, churches, media and the community must ail pitch in if it is to work, she said. It has to be a joining of cooperative

energies, she said.

Thats where the Adopt-A-Cop program comes in, police said. The program, which should be under way in early 1989, is intended to get officers into the schools, where they will have the opportunity to establish positive role models for students.

Mounted Patrols

FAYETTEVILLEo(AP) - Fayettevilles mounted police patrol was originally planed to patrol city parks and the downtown area, but officials say the mounted officers have certain advantages over other patrols, and could be useful in public housing areas.

They have a high visibility, which is a deterrent to crime, said Maj. Philip Canady, field bureau commander. Weve had more calls in terms of people noticing. They appeal to the public.

In their first 100 days on the streets, mounted police made 110 arrests, including six felonies. They helped in finding several lost children, and worked 132 events such as crowd control and escorting VIPs, said Capt. Robert Shambley, commander of the Special Enforcement Division.

The horses also have public relations value, and children love them, said Shambley.

Priorities

.SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) -Elizabeth Dole, President-elect

Pipelines Maintain Low Profiles

George Bushs choice to be Labor Secretary, says her first priority in her post will be to protect the working family.

It will be a real opportunity to be involved with helping the inner-city poor, Mrs. Dole said Monday. But the main thing will be to protect the welfare of working men and women - the working family - and establish policies that will really provide an opportunity for employment. Im very much oriented to helping people get a job and improve their working lives.

Mrs. Dole also said the department would take a leadership role in Congress on child care.

AZT Money

RALEIGH (AP) - State officials have received a $140,461 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to continue providing medicine to low-income patients with AIDS.

Without the medicine, called AZT for azidothymidine, some AIDS patients have a greater chance of dying. AZT costs between $7,000 and $10,000 a year.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO Buried a few feet under the soil, largely unseen and not regulated by the state, petroleum pipelines criss cross North Carolina from New Bern to Haywood County a 1,050-mile web that moves millions of gallons en route from the Gulf Coast to the industrial Northeast.

Guilford County has been a nexus of those lines for 45 years and is host of the countrys largest refined petroleum storage tank farm. But even here, awareness of the pipes comes mostly from incidents like Planta

tion Pipelines 17,000-gallon gasoline spill last Dec. 28.

A year later, clean-up on that spill continues near a Greensboro housing development. Plantation pumps out fuel, scoops soggy soil, tests for tainted water. But most of the gasoline remains in the ground, with perhaps another year of work ahead.

State and local officials generally agree that the petroleum pipeline industry has a good record in North Carolina. Environmentalists concede that pipelines are a safer way of transporting fuel than highways or water ways.

Were so quiet and efficient that

people just hardly know we exist until there are sudden, unfortunate occurrences, said Noel Griese, a spokesman for Colonial Pipeline.

But there are indications of problems, The Greensboro News & Record reported:

In the past two years, federal records show, there have been eight oil pipeline spills totaling about 307,000 gallons - 134,000 gallons of which could not be recovered. They seeped into the ground or water systems.

The total is likely to be higher, j however, because federal law re

quires reporting only spills of 21,000 gallons or more or spills that cause injury, start fires or pollute water. Colonial provided information on two spills not listed by federal authorities; Plantation declined to discuss specific spills.

Pipeline companies tout their ability to detect breaks, but it took Plan-' tation four days to locate last years leak in Greensboro after monitoring equipment showed problems. After a break on a Colonial line in 1978, company officials said they did not immediately report the spill because they didnt know whom to tell.

PubUc Has High View Of Reagan

NEW YORK iAP) - Ronald Reagan leaves office with his personal {wpularity intact but with Americans viewing him unfavorably on many policy issues, a Media General-Associated Press poll has found.

Most respondents viewed Reagans performance negatively on social and governmental issues such as education and ethics. A majority also rated his judgment unfavorably.

Yet Reagan retained his enormous personal approval. A vast two-thirds endorsed the way he has done his job overall. Many said history will view him positively and 55 percent said he has made the country better.

The national survey of 1,084 adults found two factors at the

heart of Reagans popularity: high ratings for his leadership and a belief that his economic policies the past eight years have been good.

Reagan also was scored highly for his handling of defense and U.S.-Soviet relations. And he was seen as an effective president: More than six in 10 said he has accomplished most of what he set out to do.

The survey was conducted Nov. 10-20, shortly after Vice President George Bush was elected Reagans successor. Despite Reagans popularity, a majority said they would not have sup^ ported him for a third term as president.

He leaves office Jan. 20.

Bush Joins Brother In Quail Hunt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEEVILLE, Texas - Presidentelect Bush was secluded today at an isolated ranch for a quail hunt with his brother and two of his best friends.

Bush, an avid outdoorsman who says he loves shooting birds, planned no public appearances while at the Lazy F Ranch, 10,000 acres of range land about 70 miles north of Corpus Christi and 15 miles from this rural town of 15,000 people.

Steve Hart, Bushs spokesman, said Bush viewed his time at the ranch, owned by Houston millionaire Will Parish, as a chance to relax away from the daily pressures of the nations capital.

Joining Bush on the hunting trip, an annual event for the last 20 years, were Bushs brother, Jonathan, James A. Baker III, the designated secretary of state, and Parish. Also staying at the simple, one-story

ranch house were Parishs wife, Sarah, and Bakers wife, Susan.

The Bushes, Bakers and Parishes have a bond that goes back to the days when they all lived in Houston, where Bush was in the oil business.

Mrs. Bush remained in Washington to pack up the vice' presidents house in preparation for the move to the White House next month.

Bushs schedule for the next two days will involve rising early to stalk quail and then returning for lunch. Hart said. Bush probably will take a nap in the afternoon, do a bit more hunting and then retire early, probably about 8 p.m.

Though Bush described himself as a fairly good shot, quail-hunting conditions were less tluin ideal on Monday, the day he flew into Chase Naval Air Station.

Locals said the 70-degree temperature was too warm and the bird population was devastated by

the summer drought.

Bush said he was not squeamish about shooting birds, even though he doubted he would kill deer. Discussing birds, he said, Our forefathers ate by harvesting game.

Work was not a high priority during die holiday, even though Bush said he brought along a little homework, a little inaugural background material, a little reading, primarily on the budget.

Before he was driven to the hideaway in the scrub brush. Bush, wearing his pants tucked into his cowboy boots, told reporters that he had talked by telephone to his son, Jeb Bush, who was flying back from a quick visit to Soviet Armenia, scene of a devastating earthquake.

Jeb, a Miami real estate developer, and his son, George, 12, flew into Armenia on Christmas Day to deliver toys and medical supplies to children.

Bush said his son told him the trip

was probably the most moving thing he has ever been involved in.;_

On another matter, the presidentelect also said he supported Egy^ tian President Hosni Mubarak s overtures to meet Israeli leaders in Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir also welcomed a Mubarak visit as a way of moving towards peace in the Middle East. :.i

The more contact they have ... the better it is, Bush said. Asked if he would visit the Middle East to dft-courage peace. Bush replied: If, J thought it would further the peace process, I would get on that plane right now and go.

Three Die In Wreck Near Wilson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nineteen people died on North Carolina roads during the long holiday weekend, including three people killed in a head-on collision near Wilson, the state Highway Patrol said today.

Donald Ray Smith, 44, and his wife, Mary Howell Smith, 38, of Rocky Mount, were killed in one car in the accident Monday, along with a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in the second vehicle. The name of the Marine, a 20-year-old man, was not released pending notification of relatives, troopers said.

The accident occurred on a curve of N.C. 58 at 3:20 p.m., the highway patrol said.

Shelley Fae Ross, 33, of Garland, was killed at 11:13 p.m. Sunday when she was struck by a car as she walked on N.C. 411 in Sampson County.

Royal Milton Carter, 33, of War-renton, was killed Sunday afternoon when his car hit a parked vehicle and overturned off a rural road in Warren County.

Among the other victims were three members of an Ohio family and a Statesville man who died early Saturday in a crash on Interstate 77.

Troopers said Benjamin Nunez Jr., 20, of Statesville was driving the wrong way on the interstate when he struck the Ohio car head-on in patchy fog. Another car and a pickup truck then plowed into the wreckage.

Also killed were Darryl Hinkle, 24; his wife, Shelley Raye Hinkle, 23; and a daughter, Meghan Elizabeth Hinkle, 8 months; all of Columbus, Ohio. A three year-old son, Justin Lee Hinkle, remained in critical condition at Charlotte Memorial Hospital Monday.

The Hinkles were en route to Hampton, S.C., 180 miles south of Charlotte, to spend Christmas with Shelley Hinkles mother and stepfather.

In other fatal accidents:

Ernest C. Stewart, 43, of Godwin, died in a Cumberland County accident Saturday. Troopers say Stewart was walking on N.C. 82 about 16 miles south of Fayetteville when he was hit by a vehicle at 7:30 p.m..

Pearl Whitsett Adams, 48, of Yadkinville, was killed when she pulled onto a rural road in Yadkin County into the path of another vehicle, a spokeswoman with the patrol said Sunday. The accident occurred Saturday at 6:40 p.m. two miles east of Arlington.

Kenneth Lynn Dungee, 19, of Greensboro died about 3:25 p.m. Friday on Interstate 40 near Durham when the car in which he was a passenger was struck from the rear and flipped over several times.

Levon Page, 32, of Fairmont died at 7:03 a.m. Saturday when the car in which he was riding hit a culvert and tree near Fairmont.

Trisha Christine Lindgren, 19, of Goldsboro, was killed at 10:25 p.m. Friday on U.S. 13 in Wayne County when she was thrown from a car that had been sideswiped and overturned.

Sandy Richardson, 19, of Littleton, was killed at 11.10 p.m. Friday on a rural road in Halifax County when a car struck him while he was lying in the road.

Roy Daniel Ellis, 26, of Bahama, was killed at 6 p.m. Thursday when his car was hit by two other vehicles after running a stop sign on a rural road north of Durham.

Douglas Paul Steele, 28, of Harmony, was killed at 2:38 a.m. Friday when his car struck several trees and overturned off N.C. 901 in Iredell County.

Mamie Barnes West, 82, of Apex, was killed at 10:10 a.m. Friday when her car was struck by another vehicle as she pulled out of a driveway in Wake County.

Jefferson Garner Johnston, 22, of Goldsboro, was killed at 3:30 p.m. Friday when his car ran off a rural road in Wayne County, struck a ditch, overturned three times and landed in a field.

A North Carolina man also was killed Friday in an accident in Kentucky.

Tommie Dwayne Dubree, 19. of Tomkinsville, Ky., and Joseph Felin Joey Finley, 24, of Charlotte, N.C., were killed when their pickup trucks collided on Kentucky 90, authorities said.

Dubree, a Marine on his way home for Christmas, was driving east at 8:10 p.m. when his truck collided with Finleys truck, state police said. Dubree died at the scene.

Finley died at 9:54 p.m. at T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow, Ky.

The N.C. State Motor Club predicted 45 people would be killed and 2,500 injured in North Carolina traffic accidents during the Christmas and New Years holiday weekends.

The Christmas holiday began at 6 p.m. Thursday and ended at midnight Monday. The New Years holiday begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 29, and ends at midnight Monday, Jan. 2.

Last year, 49 people died and 2,631 were hurt during the two official holiday weekends, while 51 were killed and 2,079 were injured during

IRS Tries Again To Provide Simplified Forms

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

^.WASHINGTON - The 101 million lax forms being mailed out starting today will contain a surprise for some taxpayers. The forms they ieceive will be different and simpler than the ones the Internal Revenue Service mailed to them last year.

Despite widespread grumbling that tte drive toward tax simplification has instead produced a more pmplicated system, the IRS is pr^cting that 3.5 million Americans will be able to switch to the simpler forms this year.

i To help make that projection come ^e, the IRS is making a greater ef-5>rt this year to direct taxpayers to pe form that is best for their tax ituations.

5 The IRS formerly mailed tax

payers the type of form they had used in the previous year. However, for the first time this year, the IRS analyzed the returns taxpayers sent back last April 15 and u^ those findings to determine what type of package to send for the new filing season.

Instead of routinely sending out the same form people used in the past, we are trying to send them the tax package that best suits their needs, says IRS spokesman Frank Keith.

The landmark 1986 Tax Reform Act reduced tax rates, raised the standard deduction and eliminated a variety of deductions. Those changes mean many taxpayers who once found it beneficial to itemize deductions and file the long Form 1040 can now use the simpler Form

1040A or the simplest form of all, the 1040EZ, without being forced to pay higher taxes.

The tax packages, which cost the government $29.4 million to print and mail, have been waiting at post offices around the country for the past several weeks with instructions to begin delivering them today.

The mass mailing is the largest the government does each year and traditionally is scheduled for the period right after Christmas.

For the first time this year, the IRS is supplying estimates of how long it is likely to take taxpayers to fill out the various forms. This information, IRS officials hope, will encourage Americans to use the simplest form possible.

The IRS estimates that Form 1040

will require a taxpayer to spend 3 >rd k<

hours and 7 minutes on record keep

ing, 2 hours and 28 minutes learning about the law, 3 hours and 7 minutes preparing the form and 35 minutes for copying, assembling and sending the return to the IRS.

The 9 hours and 17 minutes total does not count an additional 5 hours and 51 minute the agency estimates a taxpayer will need to fill out an accompanying Schedule A, used if the taxpayer itemizes deductions, and Schedule B, used to list income from interest and dividends.

By contrast, the IRS estimates a taxpayer needs only 1 hour and 31 minutes to complete the 1040EZ, the simplest IRS form which can be used only by single people who do not itemize and who have taxable income below $50,000.

The 1040A, the other short form, may be used by married or single people who do not itemize and whose

As in years past, officials were estimating that three-fourths of all taxpayers will receive refunds. The typical refund last filing season was $914.74.

In addition to mailing tax packages, the IRS makes the forms available at many banks, post offices and libraries.

The IRS said taxpayers should notice few changes this year, unlike last year when taxpayers had to confront for the first time the sweeping changes made by the 1986 Tax Reform Act.

Among the changes that will show up in the 1988 tax forms:

taxpayers pay a hidden 33 percent tax rate on some of their income.

-The individual exemption has been increased from $1,900 to $1,950, while the standard deduction for those who do not itemize will go up as well. For single people, the standard deduction goes from $2,450 to $3,000. The deduction for a married couple filing jointly rises from $3,760 to $5,000.

Clarifying language and graphics have been added to help people select the proper standard deduction and the correct dependency status, two areas which proved confusing on last years forms.

-Tax rates will be reduced, reflecting the lower rates that took effect starting last Jan. 1. Under the new law, most people fall into either the 15 percent or 28 percent tax bracket, although some affluent

The new railing provides p more senatorial visual backdrop. n The taking up of the old carpet, hhkh had been in place for more Ithan a decade and was badly worn in places, was an event in itself.

All seats in the Senate galleries have been allocated to relatives, friends and supporters of the new and returning senators.

For the first time, a spillover room has been set up for guests of the new and re-elected senators who cannot be seated in the Senate chamber itself. They will be issued tickets for seats in the Senate Caucus Room in the Russell Senate Office Building where they will view the swearing-in ceremonies on a 9-by-12-foot video screen.

Family Business Is Sweet Success

Candy Company Is 40 Years Old

By Leanne Waxman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRISTOL, Tenn. - Slowly, a colorful batch of sugar is twisted into tasty sticks in the tiny factory of a candy-making family dynasty.

Hatchers Candy Co. has no use for advertising. No signs mark the converted white house where the clan has carefully created candy for 40 years.

Its just word of mouth, C.M. Hatcher explains. Were small.

The company telephone number isnt listed in the book, but the tourists come. They drive past the lumber yards on their way south for Christmas to pick up a peppermint bowl or two at the corner house.

The old-timers follow their noses and neighborhood children sometimes show up for free tastes until Hatchers son, Tony, sends them on their way.

It started with my granddaddy, the younger Hatcher said. My daddy's been making candy since he was 13. My mamma and daddy raised me under that table over there. The process is slow, even at Christmas when the familys special edible bowls and baskets are most in demand. Father and son, with help from a few relatives and others hired for the holiday rush, mold more than 4,000 of their trademarks for Christmas.

Ive just been in it about 15 years, said Tony Hatcher, who took over when his father formally retired. If it has to do with sugar, daddy can make it.

The hard candy starts at two open furnaces, the same ones Hatchers grandfather used before he died. Sugar and water are mixed together in large vats and cooked over open flame. The caramel-colored liquid is poured onto a cooling slab, where Hatcher and Doug Thomas fold it as it crusts and thickens.

You gotta tike it to stay in it, especially this time of year, said Thomas, whos been making candy with Hatcher's father for 30 years.

\ pulling machine is the next step. Hatcher's grandfather pulled his own, but the machine helps. Like taffy, the sugar turns until the mixture becomes milky white and Hatcher adds one of a variety of liquid flavorings. The batch is then kneaded like bread dough on a warm, cloth-covered table.

Red coloring is added to a chunk that is carefully pulled and intert-

The Associated Press

C.M. Hatcher feeds candy dough into a machine for shaping and cutting

wined with white to make stripes. Then the batch is carried over to the twisting table and fed into a simple shaping and cutting machine for candy sticks.

Bowls are hand-molded, cooled, filled with sticks and wrapped in plastic. Baskets, with braided handles, are packed in cardboard boxes. The sticks are hand-packaged and heat-sealed under the family label that has remained virtually the same over the years; Delicious Hatchers Assorted Candy."

The Hatchers add hand-turned green and red candy flowers with wax candles to make some of the baskets into table centerpieces. Solid, striped sugar is molded into the shape of vases and intricate red candy roses with green leaves are

added for special customers.

The Hatchers sell to a couple of grocery chains. Their candy also can be found in tourist shops throughout the region. Hatcher, 39, makes candy five days a week and delivers it the other two.

A lot of your factories use liquid sugar, and its vacuum cooked. Theyre into quantity. I kind of like quality, he said.

From Nov. 1 until Christmas, the company planned to use about 6,000 pounds of sugar a week for a maximum 25 to 30, 75-pound batches a day. The year-round average is about 3,000 pounds of sugar a week. About 2,500 sticks, or 65 bowls, can be made from one batch.

Now 83, Famous Madam Keeps Going On Memories, Spicy Talk

By George W. Ilackeit

THE A.SS()(IATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Age hasnt blurred the memories of one of the South's most famous madams, nor has it dulled her vocabulary, still as spicy as Texas chili.

I'm 83. honey, and doing great except for my arthritis," says Pauline Tabor Webster, who also admits that her 220 pounds are a problem that wont go away.

Diets don't work, and the Mayo Clinic couldnt help. she laments. Guess Im one of those women whove learned to make do with what they have.

Webster ran a thriving business in Bowling Green for 40 years until urban renewal forced her into retire

ment in 1969. The house was dismantled, and the 40,000 bricks, acquired by a professional magician, went on the market as souvenirs

1 didnt make a dime on that venture, Webster says. Got some of the bricks and they're going to my seven grandchildren and 13 greatgrandchildren."

After her husbands death, she sold her farm and auctioned most of her antiques. The rest are in her new home outside San Antonio, Texas, across the street from her son.

Although she wrote a book about her business, Webster has never disclosed the identities of her customers. They were bankers, politicians, lawyers and college students who got a discount. Some of them are still around.

Names were changed and personalities disguised in the book, Paulines, issued in a red velvet hardcover with a gold-tasseled bookmark and lock and key.

She says she has always believed that sex is a two-way deal. A man should realize that sometimes a woman is just too tired, or else he should be interested enough to entice her. On the other hand, the man shouldnt always have to be the aggressor.

Webster opened her house during the Great Depression and after four weeks had netted $3,000. She wont say how much she earned during her heyday.

I wouldnt try my line of work today, honey, too much risk because of drugs and AIDS.

She says she conducted personal interviews before hiring anyone.

They had regular medical checkups and were dressed in the latest fashions, she says. Anyone caught drinking on the job or cheating a customer was fired immediately.

Many of the women later settled into happily married lives. I hear from a few of them, she says, particularly during the holidays.

on his own, remembers when sugar cost 5 cents a pound. A pound of sugar now costs 35 to 40 cents. The family used to sell to country markets and commissary stores in the coalfields of southwest Virginia, but those days are gone. ^

We sold plenty of candy in the coalfields. They were goin pretty good back then, the elder Hatcher said. All the mom and pop stores are gone.

There are four younger Hatchers who have expressed an interest in the family business after they complete their college educations.

Its just enough to get by, Tony Hatcher said of the companys profit. I hope they get into it.

Reap Parents Arent Always Best Parents

Dear Abby: For years I have been writing this letter in my head -now its time to put it on paper.

I scream inside when I read letters in your column from grown adopted children who wonder about their real parents - what they look like, possible siblings, and agonizing over whether to try to find them.

"My real parents raised me, and I wished they hadnt. Throughout my childhood, I used to dream that some loving family would adopt me and tell me that I was chosen by Oiem. Abby, this is an open letter to unadopted child:

^Dear Adopted Child: So you wonder about your birth parents and their families today? Your curiosity is normal, but I beg you, leave well enough alone. Your mother had a very good reason for entrusting your Care to someone else. She did not give you away she gave you opportunities she could not offer you. Allowing someone else to adopt and raise you was the most loving, dnselfish act a mother can make.

I If you had an average upbringing with your adoptive parents, praise God that your birth mother had the Courage to surrender you. If your adoptive parents did not treat you

Dear Abby

Abigail Van Buren

well, I am sorry, but bear in mind, you might not have fared better with your biological parents. Blood ties do not automatically create loving relationships. I know. Here is my story:

I was one of several children born to a middle-class, blue-collar working man, and a gentle, obedient, hard-working rural mother. Outwardly we appeared to be an average middle-class family. My father always worked steady, and my mother cooked and cared for her home and children. We all attended church regularly. We children were polite, and turned out better than just average. A typical American family - from outward appearances.

Now for the truth: My father was a devil to live with. I, along with my brothers and sister, were subjected to every kind of abuse a child could experience, and I mean every kind - verbal, physical and sexual. I grew up with fear and shame. My mothers goaf was to protect us kids

long enough to get us out of the house alive. In that she succeeded, but we all sustained enormous psychological damage.

As a child, I used to dream that someone would adopt me. The closest I came was having a childless aunt and uncle who agreed to adopt us if we should ever become orphaned. Unfortunately, my uncle not my father died prematurely. For a while we had a wonderful neighbor, Leona, who befriended this battered, lonely child. Wed roll pie crust and play games. Then she moved, and that was the end of my adoption fantasies.,

Years of psychotherapy, divine guidance and commitment to survival have enabled me to overcome my battered childhood. Im middle-aged now, but when I was born, I know there must have been a childless couple who were praying they could have a healthy baby daughter like me to love and raise.

Perhaps such a couple received you. Adopted Child. If they loved and cared for you, look at them closely, for they are as real as any parents can be.

Moms Trip To Las Vegas

My 78-year-old mother recently celeorated her 50th wedding anniversary. Amid the gifts of crystal bowls and silver trays, and the cards depicting two bluebirds flying into the sunset, she confided to me that what she really wanted was an overnighter in Vegas.

I have been to Las Vegas with Mother before. She is an out-of-control gambler who would bet on the odds of the pope working four Sundays in a row.

' We set out to answer the question, was it possible for a woman who could count up to queen, king and ace by the time she was 3 to find happiness with a daughter who once ripi^ the lining out of a purse looking for a coupon for 10 cents off cat food when she didnt even own a cat?

While she was waiting for the plane, a man gave Mother his seat. He did this because she walked with a limp and her right arm brushed the ground. This condition was caused by $80 worth of quarters in her handbag.

If they knew what kind of money

At Wits End

Erma Bombeck

I was carrying, she said, theyd probably comp a room for us. As she charged from the plane in Las Vegas, she cupped her hand to her ear and listened to the jangle of the slot machines. Theyre playing my song, she smiled.

You have to know about the sounds of Vegas. There is a metal tray below each machine where the coins drop your winnings. I dont know how they do this, but when a quarter drops in the tray, it sounds like a jet just buzzed your house. Two quarters sound like a demolition ball just fell on your car. Three quarters give you the decibels of a spacecraft being launched, and four quarters will make you pass out from the pain.

Gambling changes my mother physically. Her arthritis dissipates every time she reaches up to pull the lever. Her body requires no food or drink to function. Her kidneys de

velop the capacity of two basketballs. This is what enables her to insert quarters into the slot machines at the rate of 145 coins every minute.

In the wee hours of the morning, I said, Mom, maybe we could try Hoover Dam tomorrow, and she said, Is it on the Strip?

As I redeemed my coupons for free shrimp cocktail that I clipped out of the airline magazine, Mom selected her Keno numbers and gave them to a runner in black stockings and short skirt. Then she emptied out her Dixie cup of coins. She had the same look on her face as Albert Brooks in Lost in America when his wife lost their nest egg. I hate to say this, she said, but Im down to playing nickel machines. She played and lost her last nickel at the airport.

She was quiet on the trip home. At the terminal, I inserted a coin in the phone, dialed and handed it to her as I said brightly, I won! Heres Dad!

It isnt the same, she said. .

:Young Conflict Managers Help Peers Resolve Disagreements

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS _

* TUCSON, Ariz. A careless kick of a soccer bail landed on the chin of Matthew Frew. The games fun turned to fury.

Frew, 12, ran at his opponent who happened to be his 11-year-old brother Rhett grabbed him from behind and threw him to the ground. ^You better not do that again, he threatened.

" I didnt do it on purpose, the younger responded.

^ Yeah! Right! the elder said.

B Before the conflict could escalate ifato a fight, a fellow student, a conflict manager, stepped in to help flnd a peaceful solution.

During another soccer game, Charlie Blankinship, 11, picked up the ball when he heard the bell that marked the end to recess. It is sort

of a tradition at Nash Elementary School to do anything to make the last score, including a rugby-style run toward the goal.

David Stapleton, 11, was on the other team. He caught up with the ball carrier and forced him to the ground.

Stop tackling me, Blankinship protested.

I let loose when a conflict manager came over, Stapleton said.

These are two examples of the success of a program adopted by Nash school officials to help quell campus conflict and to teach youngsters how to keep their cool in the heat of dispute.

The program is working even better than we had expected, says Ernest Galaz, assistant principal. I see kids learning how to solve con-

Kids Gift Came From The Heart

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

' MAYFIELD, Ky. - Tamille and Thunder are neither farmers nor victims of last summers drought.

Theyre horses at the Mayfield Boys Treatment Center. The kids at Joy Center were happy to give them $63.38, anyway.

The Joy Center, an Eastern Kentucky mountain mission in Big Creek, originally sent the money to the state Agriculture Department in Frankfort to forward to a deserving drought victim. The department cant accept such donations, but it learned that Tamille and Thunder could use some hay.

So Ward Butch Burnette presented the check to the center, which houses about 30 juvenile offenders. The money will help buy about a half-ton of hay for the horses, which the teens ride after classes.

This (check) really touched us in

the department, Burnette says. This comes from the heart.

Joy Center, affiliated with the United Methodist Church, is in rugged Clay County where joblessness and poverty are no strangers.

This money comes from kids who dont have much to give, says Thom Denman, a 36-year-old Ohio native. He runs the center with his wife, Chris, 37.

The 50 or so kids who go to Joy Center regularly donate part of their Sunday school offerings to causes they deem worthy.

flicts by solving problems on the playground.

There are 26 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade conflict managers at Nash. Each of these student managers has spent 30 hours learning how to help others solve problems. More training is planned.

Learning lifelong problem-solving skills makes parents and school officials happy, Galaz says. For the most part, the children like it, too.

I like the conflict managers because its safer, says Rhett Frew. If I kicked someone accidentally in a game, and he turned around and beat the living daylights out of me. Id wish I had a conflict manager around.

There are other benefits, too, says Stapleton: The conflict managers just talk to you about your problems, but a teacher or an aide would send you to the principal. Thatd be a lot worse.

Initially, the idea was not popular, Galaz says.

When school started, few kids would give conflict managers the time of day, he says, but things have changed.

Travelers Stranded

(Continued from A-1)

A snow Storm crept into Michigans Lower Peninsula, causing several traffic accidents across the southern part of the state.

One gal in particular had driven 20 to 25 miles per hour most of the way from Chicago and got in an accident here. She said she would just spend the night, said state Trooper John Norvell in St. Joseph.

Also Monday, one person died in a weather-related traffic accident in Illinois. Three others died on roads in Wisconsin, where Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport was closed for two hours so crews could clear snow off runways. About 25 flights were delayed, airport spokeswoman Patricia Rowe said. -The snow dissipated today as 'warmer air brought showers and thunderstorms to ^rts of the cen-' tral Plains and Mississippi Valley, said Dan McCarthy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City, Mo.

; The main storm system is going to move slowly off into Ontario today, with some lingering snow across Minnesota, McCarthy said.

Nonetheless, temperatures early today were in the single digits and below zero from the northern Plains through the northern Rockies, and some winter storm warnings con--tinued this morning.

Northerly winds increasing to 20 to :35 mph there were expected to create dangerous wind chills of minus 50.

Delegation Arrives

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - A ranking North Korean delegation headed by Foreign Minister Kim Yong Nam arrived in Tehran on Monday for talks on political and economic cooperation, Tehran television reported.

Kim said he was in Iran to expand ties and focus on economic affairs, especially reconstruction, according to the broadcast, monitored in Nicosia.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati and Reconstruction Minister Gholamreza Forouzesh greeted the delegation, which included External Economic Affairs Minister Chung Son Nam, the TV report said.

Chung said the talks will touch on the construction of dams, and rebuilding urban areas, damaged in the eight-year war with Iraq. A U.N.-sponsored cease-fire halted the war on Aug. 20.

The official Islamic Republic News Agency, also monitored in Nicosia, reported Sunday that Iran signed an economic accord with North Korea.

Under the terms of the agreement Iran will export 80,000 tons of concentrated lead, 250,000 tons of zinc and 200,000 tons of industrial salts to the Asian country, in exchange for 200,000 tons of steel bars and other metals.

A five-inch crack had been found on the fuselage of the plane in an inspection in July 1986, and corrosion and a tiny wing crack were found in April 1987, said Bobbie Mardis of the FAAs safety data branch in Oklahoma City.

Federal officials investigating Mondays incident also said mechanical problems, including a failure to maintain cabin pressure.

On Monday, snow and freezing rain fell from the Rockies and upper Plains to Ohio. Accidents and blowing snow closed segments of interstate highways in Utah, Minnesota, Indiana. Arizona and South Dakota. The highest accumulations were 12 inches around Chicago and in Bemidji, Minn.

In South Dakota, which received up to 10 inches of snow, the storm knocked out power to about 55,000 customers of Northern States Power Co. on Monday afternoon when high winds caused icy power lines to bang together and short-circuit, said John Lockhart, the companys construction manager.

In Durango* Colo., two men were hospitalized in good condition Monday after being buried under snow for nearly seven hours. They were rescued by passersby who heard their screams. The area was under an avalanche warning.

In a separate interview on CBS This Morning Bush described the hospital visits to children injured in the tragedy as particularly moving and something thatll be with him (his son) for the rest of his life.

I think he got an appreciation that he is lucky to be living in this country. I think we both came back with that feeling. He got an appreciation of what it is to suffer, to see human tragedy. And I think he grew up by being through that experience. Bush said.

had forced the jet to land at least five times during the past five years.

However, Eastern spokeswoman Karen Ceremsak in Miami said the 20-year-old jet was maintained acording to FAA guidelines and had an inspection of the crown in September thats the whole top area from the cockpit to the tail. The results of the September inspection were not immediately available.

Dick Meyers, an FAA spokesman in Seattle, told CBS News that the jets record of mechanical difficulties was not unusual.

The aviation industry recently has focused on the problem of jetliner aging, due in part to an April 28 incident in which the roof of a 19-year-old Boeing 737 tore off an Aloha Airlines flight at 24,000 feet, killing one person and injuring 61.

The following month, an American Airlines Boeing 727 was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Detroit because of a 15-inch crack in the wheel well that was attributed to metal fatigue.

The Aloha accident prompted a federal investigation into the aging fleet of jets, and the FAA ordered airlines to replace rivets believed to have caused cracks. Boeing also has undertaken studies of its older airplanes to determine thfe effect of aging on airworthiness.

Federal officials today continued their background check of the Eastern plane, which remained here after the forced landing, and were looking at other planes of the same type, authorities said.

Boeing spokesman T. Craig Martin said Monday he doesnt know anything about the aircrafts previous problems.

This plane was designed so that if there is some kind of puncture in the skin, the pressure will be let off safely. Thats what happened. The plane landed safely, the spokesman in Seattle said.

The incident occurred at 31,000 feet about 50 miles, or several minutes flying time, north of Charleston, said Garland Jones, the flights first officer.

Oxygen masks were deployed. Pilot John Sullivan, a 20-year veteran, took the plane down to 10,000 feet, an altitude at which passengers could breathe without the masks, said Jones.

Some passengers later complained their masks didnt work. Jones said they probably didnt realize that the masks have to be pulled by hand to initiate the oxygen flow.

BBrowner Keys Vikings Past Los Angeles

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS - Seven percent of the NFLs coaches have cast their ballots for the leagues best player.

And surprise! - they havent voted for Dan Marino or Eric Dickerson or Lawrence Taylor or any of the other names usually found at the top of most peoples lists.

I think Joey Browner is the best player in the league and I think he showed it today, Los Angeles Rams coach John Robinson said Monday after Browner and the Minnesota defense led the Vikings to a 28-17 victory in the NFC wild-card game.

Joey is as good as any player in the league. No one can play better, Vikings coach Jerry Burns said. You can say anything about him

that you want as long as its good The praise for Browner whose two interceptions in the games first 8:28 set the tone and sparked the Vikings to a 14-0 lead - wasnt limited io twoTif the NFL*s 28 head coaches.

All I can say is Ive been associated with a future Hall of Famer, Vikings defensive coordinator Floyd Peters said. Week-in and week-out, its great watching him do these great things. And 1 ask a lot of things of him.

Rams quarterback Jim Everett added, simply: Joey Browner is the best.

The victory was the second straight in the NFC wild-card game for the Vikings, who made it to the conference title game as a wild card

last year. They were 11-5 this season, finishing second to the Chicago Bears in the NFC Central for the fourth straight season.

Minnesota will visit NFC West champion San Francisco next Sunday as the race for the Super Bowl title reaches the quarterfinal stage. The Vikings shocked the 49ers in last years playoffs.

Philadelphia will play at Chicago next Saturday in the other NFC game. In the AFC, Seattle visits Cincinnati Saturday and Buffalo hosts Houston Sunday.

Los Angeles, 10-6 during the season, couldnt get its offense in gear despite the West Coast-like conditions in the Metrodome. It was 69 degrees inside, compared to 21 and snowy outside.

Blame a good chunk of the Rams offensive woes on Browner and the Vikings league-leading defense.

An All-Pro strong safety. Browner is feared around the league for his ferocious hitting. He also has seven interceptions this season.

Heres a guy who is 215 pounds, 6-3, runs a 4.55 (in the 40-yard dash), has powerful hands and a great .grip, Peters said. A Hall-of-Famer.

Browners first interception ruined the Rams first possession, as he stole the football from Willie Anderson near the goal line.

It was a touchdown, I even said it as Everett threw it, said Robinson, who coached Browner for four years

Rams Cant Even Top Vikes Inside

Weather And Elements Cant Be Blamed For Rams Demise This Time

By Scott Ostler

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

MINNEAPOLIS - Its a sad tale, oft-told in Los Angeles Ram lore and legend: Undone by the cruel Viking weather.

What the Rams desperately needed Monday was to get the Minnesota Vikings out of their element. No telling how badly the Rams would have humbled the Vikings had the game been played at Anaheim, Calif., on one of those ugly, nasty, 59-degree

Orange County winter days, when the wind comes howling off the Pacific Ocean at eight or nine knots, ripping hot-dog wrappers right off your buns.

Instead, the Vikings ambushed the Rams inside the 2-acre rumpus room known as the Metrodome, climate-controlled at a balmy 69 degrees, uniform humidity.

On the green carpet of a playing field, the footing was treacherously good. No moisture, save for Ram tears. No breeze. No smoking allowed inside the stadium, so visibility

was unlimited.

Youre supposed to play football under these wretched conditions? Gimme a break. This is Frisbee weather.

After being knocked out of the National Football League playoffs five times by the Vikings, each time outdoors in rain or snow, the Rams figured they had the edge this time.

The Vikings moved indoors in 1982. They have become domesticated. They are housebroken, their hardy aura gone forever.Seminles Crack Top 10FSU Moves Into Top 10 For First Time In 16 Years

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The last time Florida State was ranked among the nations Top Ten basketball teams, Seminles coach Pat Kennedy was just getting into this first collegiate job as a 21-year-old assistant coach at Lehigh.

The Seminles, 7-0, moved into the Top Ten on Monday for the first time in 16 years as Kennedys rebuilding program reached a new plateau. Not since coach Hugh Durhams Florida State team finished as the NCAA runner-up in 1972 has the school been ranked in the Top Ten.

Kennedys Seminles haye averaged 101 points a game and surpassed the 100-point mark four times while running off seven straight victories.

Seniors Tony Dawson and George McCloud, one of the nations biggest point guards at 6-foot-7, 205-pounds, are averaging 49.3 points a game between them. Dawson, a 6-6 junior college transfer, is scoring at a 26.4 mark and McCloud is averaging

22.9.

But the addition of Kentucky transfer Irving Thomas may have made the biggest difference this year for Florida State.

The 6-9, 230-pound Thomas has averaged 9.7 points and seven rebounds a game while Hunter averages seven points and 7.3 rebounds.

Mitchell, a 6-3 senior, has averaged six points a game off the bench spelling McCloud or Tharon Mayes, who averages 14.4 points.

The Seminles sandwich tough nonconference road games at Jacksonville and Arkansas around a home date against Tennessee next month in addition to the Metro Conference schedule.

Duke, Michigan and Syracuse held the top three spots in the poll, as they have the past three weeks.

The Blue Devils, 7-0, received 44 of the 60 first-place votes cast by the nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters and 1,167 points. Duke has been the No. 1 team in the preseason poll and in the six regu-lar-season votings.

Michigan, 11-0, stayed second with

ninr -and 1,123.

points, 58 more than the Orangemen, 11-0, who received one first-place vote.

Illinois, Georgetown, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Arizona each improved one place over last weeks voting and were followed by Iowa and Florida State.

Illinois, 9-0, received 982 points after a week that included road victories over then-No. 10 Missouri and Louisiana State. Georgetown, 7-0, had 926 points, 12 more than Oklahoma, 8-1. North Carolina, 10-1, received the other first-place vote and 876 points.

Arizona, 6-1, had 747 points, while Iowa, defeated by Division II Cal-Riverside 110-92 in the championship game of the Chaminade Christmas Classic, lost for the first tinrie in 11 games and received 676 points, 54 more than Florida State.

Missouri, which had 579 points, led the Second Ten, followed by

Nevada-Las Vegas, Seton /Halh' Louisville, Ohio State, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, North Carolina State, Tennessee and Kansas.

Last weeks Second Ten was Florida State, Ohio State, Nevada-Las Vegas, Louisville, Seton Hall, Georgia Tech, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kansas.

The feeling among Rams hopeful was that the Vikings, by moving out of the snow and into the Teflon tent, made a big mistake; potentially disastrous, like installing central heating in your igloo.

And its true. The Vikings, a disgrace to their Nordic heritage, cant perform outdoors anymore. Had the game been played in winter-ravaged Anaheim, where strawberries are freezing on the vine and the surfers are wearing wet

State's Players, Coaches Reunited

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA - Dick Sheridan welcomed his North Carolina State football team back as the Wolfpack regrouped and resumed practice for Saturdays Peach Bowl.

Or maybe it was the other way around. The reunion Monday was definitely one time when the players welcom^ the coach back, too.

Sheridan met with his team for the first time in 10 days, 10 days which the players spent on an emotional roller-coaster as Sheridan considered taking the job as head coach at the University of Georgia. Sheridan announced on Saturday that he would remain at State.

It was a really good meeting, Scott Auer, a senior all-ACC outside linebacker, told The Winston-Salem Journal. He welcomed us all back and then he addressed the situation. It was just good hearing it all come from him.

There wasnt any cheering or anything, but it was emotional to me, Derick Debnam, a junior defensive tackle from Winston-

Salems Carver High, said. I felt good about him as a person after the meeting. He told us how he felt about us, and how he felt about the situation. We all came out of there pumped up.

The Wolfpack, 7-3-1, will take on Iowa, 6-3-3, Saturday in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium,

The game will be televised nationally by CBS. It is close to being a sellout because N.C. State fans have bought more than 23,(M)0 tickets and because of a recent surge of interest here by fans led to believe that Sheridan would become the new Georgia coach.

It will be the Wolfpacks second Peach Bowl appearance under Sheridan in three years, and the schools fifth in the last two decades.

We are on a mission now, said Charles Davenport,.N.C. States projected starter at quarterback.

We have all come together and were all feeling good and we re here to win, Davenport said. "Just being at the Peach Bowl isnt good enough

Irish Begin Plans For Fiesta Battle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. - Lou Holtz knows that if No. I Notre Dame beats No. 3 West Virginia in next Mondays Fiesta Bowl, the Irish will win the national championship.

Don Nehlen knows that if West Virginia defeats Notre Dame, the Mountaineers will be No. 1 maybe.

Nehlen continued his politicking Monday as both teams arrived for their final week of preparation for college footballs Super Bowl. Holtz, who could afford to be, was noncommittal.

Asked if the Fiesta Bowl winner deserved to be No. 1, Nehlen replied:

"Without a doubt. There isnt even a doubt. Anybody that could prove me wrong ought to be selling refrigerators to eskimos for a living.

Nehlens problem other than finding a way to beat five-point-favorite Notre Dame is that defending national champion Miami is r^nkjed No. 2 with a l-1-O record

tv..;

(the Hurricanes lost to Notre Dame 31-30) while West Virginia is 11-0.

Miami coach Jimmy Johnson, whose team plays Nehiaska in the Orange Bowl, has been doing some campaigning of his own on the platform that if No. 1 loses. No. 2 shoulfl move up. ^

"Jimmy is full of it you know it and 1 know it. Nelilen said. "There's no possible wa\ the w inner of this game is not the national champion. If they're not, they ought to throw out the polls completely because Notre Dame is already number one. we were rated number one several preseason polls, we've been 3-4-5 all year and now we're playing supposedly the best team in the country,

"They're number one and theyve defeated everybody. When you play number one in a l)owl game just go back through history --everybody that defeated number one has ended up the national champion Whoever wins this game is the na tional champion in my mind no question.

Rockets Slip Past Hornets

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE - The Houston Rockets blanked Charlotte in a defensive duel down the stretch, defeating the Hornets 97-95.

Tyrone Bogues and Kelly Tri^cka led a late Charlotte rally Monday night that tied the game 95-95 with 3:24 to play. Then the teams settled into a rugged defensive struggle that produced just one basket in the last three minutes.

It came with 63 seconds left when Houstons Akeem Olajuwon grabbed a long lob pass from teammate Buck J<^on, and in one motion stuffed the ball into the hoop over Kurt Rambis.

Charlotte had three more chances to tie it after that, but never got a shot off.

Our defense was pretty good at the end, but theirs was two points better, Hornets coach Dick said.

Houston, behind Olajuwon who had 23 points and 15 rebounds for the ni^t - took a 95-88 lead with five minutes left.

But Charlotte fought back. A lucky bounce off a Rambis miss left Tripucka with a wide-open three-pointer and he buried it to make it 95-91. Bogues swiped the ball from Sleepy Floyd on Houstons possesion and hit Michael Holton for a breakaway layup that made it 95-93.

The Rockets Don Chaney called timeout, but Johnson missed a jumper on the next Houston play

Rambis rebounded and Tripucka tied on an 18-footer off Kemptons nice pass.

Charlotte fell to 7-18, while the Rockets earned their fifth consecutive victory.

Robert Reid, playing against his former teammates, led Charlotte with 25 points. It was the first time in 11 games that Tripucka hadnt led the team in scoring.

Tripucka finished with 19. Earl Cureton, starting in place of flu-stricken Dave Hoppen, had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Behind Olajuwon was Mike Woodson, who had 22 points.

Charlotte led 57-56 at halftime, and Reids baseline jumper built the lead to 69-63 with 7:16 left in the third period.

Houston closed the quarter with a 17-9 run for an 80-78 lead.

The Rockets had trouble with the lob pass in previous games, but Johnsons pass to Olajuwon that resulted in the decisive dunk was just what Chaney was looking for.

Fortunately, we executed it perfectly this time. Were improving and learning how to win," Chaney said.

Weve been working on the lob plays, Olajuwon said. The pass couldnt have been more perfect."

Suns III, Lakers96

After dealing out plenty of frustration in his 10 years in the NBA, Magic Johnson is finding it hard to deal with it himself.

Pack Has Reunion

(Continued From B-l)

now. Were here to win, and to win big.

Sheridan was in a much less talkative frame of mind than his players, at least to the media. f

On a warm, comfortable afternoon in which the temperatures reached the high 60s, the coach was down-pght chilly, in fact.

He is still angry over reports that circulated last week that he would take the Georgia job.

I never told anyone I was coming to th University of Georgia," Sheridan said. Its true that I told them that I was honored that thev

had the confidence in me to offer me the job, but that certainly wasn't a yes.

The only negative aspects of this whole situation, to me, were the erroneous reports that were made that I had decided to take the job.

State went through a two-hour full-contact workout on Georgia Techs practice field Monday. One casualty came out of the afternoon practice as Nasrallah Worthn, States all-Atlantic Coast Conference wide receiver, reinjured his knee after being hit while scrimmaging. Worthens status is listed as possible for Saturday.

The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers lost their sixth consecutive road game their longest slide since 1979 when they were beaten by Phoenix 111-96 Monday night.

It was the ninth straight home victory for the Suns, who trail second-place Portland by a half-game and the first-place Lakers by a game in the NBAs Pacific Division.

The frustration of the losing streak came to a head for Johnson in the fourth quarter when he was ejected with two technical fouls for arguing with rookie referee Buck Oakes over an out-of-bounds call.

We were trying so hard, we were missing easy fayups, Johnson said of the Lakers 40 percent shooting from the field. We played hard, but we didnt win again. Im frustrated from losing. Ive never been through a stretch like this before.

We caught the Lakers at the right time. Theyve been on the road and theyve been struggling a bit. Suns coach Cotton Fitzsimmons said. You can see they were frustrated. We got a lot of good efforts from a lot of people. We didnt play super, but we played hard and made some things happen. And its always fun to beat the Lakers.

The Lakers definitely are ready for more home games after playing on the road for the 19th time in 27 dates.

Tyrone Corbin was 9-for-ll from the field and had 21 points and 10 rebounds in his first career start for Phoenix, while Eddie Johnson scored 11 of his 21 points in the fourth period for the Suns.

Phoenix, 12-2 at home this season, never trailed after a 7-2 run in the final two minutes of the first quarter put the Suns ahead 31-26.

Corbin, a forward starting at guard in place of the injured Jeff Hornacek, scored six points as the Suns took a 48-35 lead midway through the second quarter en route to a 59-50 halftime lead.

Byron Scott, who scored 24 points for the Lakers despite missing 13 of 23 shots, scored seven in a 15-5 run that brought Los Angeles within three points with 5:18 left in the third quarter.

Magic Johnsons layup made it 74-71 with I::i5 remaining, but Mark Wests dunk and Eddie Johnsons

jumper put the Suns up 78-71 heading into the fourth period.

The Lakers got no closer than that in the fourth period and Phoenix stretched its lead to 93-79 with 7:55 to go.

We held our poise and showed we have a lot of character, Corbin said. The Lakers, who are the greatest team in the world, came at us and we were able to hold our poise and win.

Magic Johnson finished with 22 points for the Lakers and Tom Chambers led Phoenix with 23.

Heat 111, Spurs 109

Miami won its second straight game after a 1-21 start as Pat Cummings scored six^of his 17 points in the final minute* against San Antonio.

The Heat, which lost an NBA record 17 straight games to start the season, downed Utah 101-80 last Friday and handed the Spurs their sixth straight defeat on the road. San Antonio has lost 10 of its last 11 games.

Miami trailed 104-97 with 2:29 left, but the Heat responded with 10 consecutive points. Cummings had four free throws and tipped in a missed shot in the final minute.

Rory Sparrow led Miami with a season-high 28 points and rookie Kevin Edwards added 18 points and 10 assists.

Bullets 120, Nets 108

Washington snapped an eight-game road losing streak as Jeff Malone had 30 points and John Williams scored 11 of his 15 in the fourth quarter against New Jersey.

Malone scored 12 points in the third quarter, including three baskets in an 11-4 spurt that carried the Bullets from a one-point deficit into a 94-88 lead.

A basket by Roy Hinson closed the gap to 99-96 with 8:45 to play. Washington then reeled off 12 of the next 16 points, including six by Mark Alarie, to open a 111-100 edge with just 3:59 remaining.

Mike McGee led the Nets with 25 points, while Lester Conner added 17 points and a season-high 12 assists."

Despite His Arrest, Sanders Will Play

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - It wouldnt be fair to keep Florida State All-American Deion Sanders out of the Sugar Bowl against Auburn because of the cornerbacks arrest in a shopping mall scuffle, coach Bobby Bowden says.

I met with Deion to get his account of just what happened," Bowden said in a statement released Monday night. Only after I had satisfied myself as to what happened did I determine that his eligibility should not be affected,

Based on the facts presented to me, I do not feel that it would be fair to prohibit Deion Sanders from playing in next Mondays Sugar Bowl.

Bowdens decision ended two tense

days of speculation among Seminole fans about whether their flashy star known as Prime Time would be left behind.

Sanders, 21, was arrested Christmas Eve after, an incident in a Fort Myers gift shop and was charged with battery qo police officer and disorderly con|uct. He was released Saturday night after posting $2,600 bond, police said.

According to witness and police accounts, a shouting match ensued over the purchase of earrings and Sanders allegedly struck an auxiliary officer called in to quell the disturbance.

Coach Bowdens position has always been that you are innocent until proven guilty, said Rob Wilson, FSUs sports information director.

Vikes Top Rams Again

(ContinuedFrom B-l)

suits, the Rams would have breezed.

But indoors, on the green felt, the Vikings are Minnesota Fats calling their shots. Jim Everett pass in Joey Browners back pocket.

Its a different era. The Northern Lights, to the current generation of Viking fans, are fluorescent. The fans here have even turned the Metrodome into a house of menace. One bold bed-sheet banner read, Get your sheep off our carpet.

The Rams went down sheepishly Monday, 28-17, in a remarkable afternoon for Minnesotans.

Most remarkable of all is that any Minnesotans even found the Metrodome under all the snow. Some 58,000 of them actually did find the stadium, after wandering around sticking poles into snowdrifts, muttering, I know its down there someplace.

Out of respect for these hardy and loyal fans, many of whom had to get home to finish assembling their kids Christmas presents, the Vikings got , the game over with in the first eight minutes of the scheduled 60-minute exercise.

Actually it was strong safety Browner who put the Rams out of their misery, intercepting two of Everetts passes, leading to a 14-0 Viking advantage.

This is the gratitude Browner shows to Ram Coach John Robinson for coaching Joey so well when they were both at USC. The interceptions were brilliant, Browner covering the field like an elongated Kirby Puckett.

Depending upon whom you talked to Monday, Browner is either the best defensive player in the NFL, the best player in the NFL, the

greatest athlete of all time, or the reincarnation of Leif Ericsson.

Joey may be E all of the above.

Ive never been in a ballgame where one player won or lost the game, Ram center Doug Smith said.

This game, then, would be the exception. Browner ended the Rams season before they broke a sweat.

Their fate decided early, the Rams had time to gain their composure by the official end of the game.

For a team that came into the playoffs as the hottest club in the NFL, with three straight victories and a genuine shot at the Super Bowl, the Rams seemed to take the defeat with aplomb.

Part of this observation you can chalk up to AstroTurf Mirage: The illusion that because the players are not dirty and muddy, with chunks of sod and lime hanging out of their ears and nostrils, they seem not to be suffering greatly.

We feel bitter inside, but what can you do'? said cornerback LeRoy Irvin. I felt like crying when I walked up through the tunnel, but what good would that do ?

Irvin - who was born in New Jersey, went to high school in Georgia and college in Kansas used to be a Viking fan. Loved the Purple People Eaters, idolized Fran Tarkenton and Chuck Foreman and Bud Grant. For the last 9 seasons, though, Irvin has l)een a l)ig Rams fan.

He figured if the Rams got by the Vikings, they would be tlie .Super Bowl favorites. Who better'?

In a year when parity has crept into the NFL like psoriasis, the Rams truly would have been a Super Bowl

threat had they beaten the Vikings. And they might have done it, too, if John Robinson had had the foresight to cut Joey Browner from the USC squad as a freshman.

You just cant spot the fair-weather Vikings 14 points on their home pool table. If you do, you bend over and kiss the Super Bowl good-by.

It was an extra-tough loss for the older Rams, Irvin and Doug Smith (11th Ram season), Irv Pankey (9th), Johnnie Johnson (9th) and Jackie Slater (13th). For some of these guys, this might have been their last chance to get to the Big Bowl.

It's tough enough to get in the playoffs at all, Smith said. Id like to get out of this game (career) with a ring, and you cant buy those.

Slater sat at his locker long after most of his teammates had showered, dressed and headed outside to board the team sleigh.

Thats the thing that hurts the most, Slater said, we feel we are of that (Super Bowl) caliber. To not execute, that hurts. You gotta execute.Browner Guides Vikings

at Southern Cal. But Browner came out of nowhere and made the play.

After Browners 26-yard return, the Vikings went 73 yards in nine plays, the last Alfred Andersons 7-yard run.

On the next play, Browner picked off Everett at the Rams 31 and returned the interception 14 yards. Allen Rice's 17-yard run on the first play from scrimmage made it 14-0. The Rams never caught up.

I went back in a zone drop and could just read Everetts eyes. Browner said. I felt he did a good job disguising most of his passes except for my second interception.

There was no disguising the fact that it was not Everetts day. After 24 straight games in which he completed at least 50 percent of his passes, he was 19 of 45.

Thats the best defense we've played this year. They are very well-rounded and disciplined, he said. And I'm very disappointed in myself.

When Joey got those two interceptions early, that kind of rattled Everett. said cornerback Carl Lee, who held NFL receiving-yar-dage leader Henry Ellard without a catch until the fourth quarter. That put a lot of pressure on him and he never got going.

Added Browner: We did all we could to rattle his cage. We were mixing our zones and he wasnt able to read them.

Scott Studwell added a fourth-quarter interception for the Vikings, who, during the regular season led the NFL in interceptions with 36 and giveawav-takeawav ratio with plus-23.

If they want to give them to us. well take them, tackle Tim Irwin said.

Even though Browner and company controlled the games tempo, the Rams trailed only 14-7 at halftime, as Everett hit Damone Johnson with a 3-yard scoring pass in the second quarter.

But the Vikings went 84 yards on their opening drive of the second half capped by Anderson's 1-yard burst and it soon became obvious the Rams wouldnt be able to rally from the 21-7 deficit.

It was immensely important, Irwin said of the drive. Once we got up 14 points again, it had to put doubt in their minds whether they were going to stay in the game.

After Mike Lansfords 43-yard field goal made it 21-10, Wade Wilsons 5-yard pass to Carl Hilton put the Vikings up by 18 with 12:38 to play. Everetts ll-yard touchdown pass to Pete Holohan with 1:17 left was only a formality.

Hilton, a third-year tight end. has five career receptions all for touchdowns.

Wilson, a Pro Bowl quarterback who was benched in last weeks victory over Chicago, was 17-of-28 for 253 yards.

its not the ultimate hurdle, Wilson said when asked why it was relatively quiet in the locker room. With the expectations of the fans, ourselves and the media, everyone realizes that the wild-card game is just the first step in a long process. The Vikings had today off before heading to Tucson for four days of workouts. Then its on to San Francisco. where Burns will be looking for more of the same solid play.

We played damn well, Burns said, and we can play better.

Sports Notes Stephens Named Top Rookie

Stith Named ACC Player Of Week

GREENSBORO (AP) Virginia forward Bi^ant Stith, who scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in two Cavalier victories last week, has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the week.

Stith, a 6-foot-5, 192-pounder from Freeman, Va., scored 10 points and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds as Virginia won an 86-81 victory over Jacksonville. Two nights later, Stith scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 99-89 overtime victory over California-Irvine.

Stith is averaging 13.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

Duke forward Danny Ferry, who had 33 points and nine rebounds to lead the undefeated and top-ranked Blue Devils to a victoiw over Wake Forest last week, was picked as the conference player of the week.

The Bowie, Md., senior was picked for his performance in Dukes 94-88 victory over the Demon Deacons Wednesday. In that game, he hit on 11 of 17 shots from the floor, including three of five from the three-point range, and made good on eight of 12 tries from the free throw line. He also had nine assists and nine rebounds.

It was the second time in three weeks the 6-foot-lO, 230-pound Ferry has been named ACC player of the week.

Ferry leads the league in scoring at 25.4 points per game, ranks fifth in field goal percentage at .615 percent and is eighth in assists with an average of 4.7 per game.

Derrick Fenner Shot At Nightclub

WASHINGTON (AP) - Authorities were investigating the shooting of former University of North Carolina football star Derrick Fenner at a nightclub, but declined to release information concerning the case Monday.

Fenner was shot in chest around 4 a.m. Sunday in a parking lot outeide the RSVP nightclub in the southwest section of the city, according to District of Columbia police. He treated and released from an area hospital.

Police said Fenner had been arguing with several men inside the club. He was shot after the quarrell spilled out into the parking lot.

The other men fled, police said.

First district detectives Monday refused to make any comments concerning the case. A detective who declined to identify himself said the public information officer, Capt. Willie White, was the only official who could release the information. White has been on vacation for the Christmas holiday, and communications officers said they have been ordered to page him only in case of emergency.

Fenner set an Atlantic Coast Conference record as a sophomore at North Carolina when he rushed for 329 yards against Virginia.

His athletic career was halted by several brushes with the law, including a first-degree murder charge in a drug-related homicide.

That charge was dropped, but Fenner is serving three years probation for cocaine possession in connection with a 1987 incident in which a police officer stopped him at a traffic light and found 25 glass vials with traces of cocaine in ms jacket.

Bulldogs Readying For Dooleys Last Game

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Coach Vince Dooley said the Georgia football team has enough to worry about in the Gator Bowl against Michigan State without more speculation about who the new Bulldog coach might be.

So Dooley put a stop to it.

The outgoing Georgia coach said as his team arrived Monday that players and assistant coaches were not to talk with reporters about his possible sue-ccssor

What I want to do is eliminate the question of Ts this a distraction? Dooley said. The only distraction was the media always asking if this was a distraction. Now Ive put an end to it. S Dooley is retiring after Sundays Gator Bowl.

Both Georgia Southern Coach Erk Russell and North Carolina State Coach Dick Sheridan have turned down the chance to succeed Dooley, who has won 200 games in his 25 years at Georgia. A search committee is continuing its hunt for a new coach.

Two Dooley assistants offensive coordinator George Haffner and defensive coordinator Dale Strahm - have been interviewed for the job. But both said they simply wanted to concentrate this week on their opponent, Michigan State.

Were just down here to concentrate on Michigan State and the Gator Bowl, Strahm said. And thats the posture were going to take.

Strahm said if outside pressures become too great, such as speculation about the future at Georgia, the Bulldogs could get beaten soundly by the Spartans.

Were trying to prepare for a formidable opponent, he said. If we dont well be embarrassed. That is motivation enough to keep my mind on my business

Senior center Todd Wheeler said the players want to give Dooley a victory in his final game.

Things will settle down, Wheeler said. Everybody wants to win Coach Dooleys last game.

Troy Sadowski, the Bulldogs senior tight end, said the approaching game will take the players minds off the coaching situation.

Theres a lot of questions in peoples minds, especially the younger players. But I think we can put all that aside, Sadowski said. Weve kept our minds on our business, and were coming down here to win the game.

Auburn Gridders Getting Down To Business

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Auburn football team gathered here without fanfare Monday and immediately got down to the business of preparing for the Jan. 2 date with Florida State in the Sugar Bowl.

Auburns players and coaches made their own travel arrangements, and Coach Pat Dye said he knew of no stragglers or tardy arrivals. The first practice was scheduled three hours after the 5 p.m. (Central) deadline for reporting.

I believe well have as an exciting a football game as there will be anywhere in the country, Dye said.

Both teams are 10-1. Florida State is ranked No.4, and Auburn is No.7. Auburn, Southeastern Conference co-champion, is making its second straight trip to the Sugar Bowl and its third in five years. Its Florida States ' seventh straight post-season appearance, but its first in the Sugar Bowl.

Auburn tied Syracuse at 16 on a last-second field goal by Win Lyle in the last Sugar Bowl.

I can tell you right now that we are not going to play to tie, Dye said But he also said that under similar circumstances, he might call for his kicker to tie the game rather than gamble on completing a desperation pass on the final play.

Im hoping the challenge of playing Florida State will bring out the best in our football team, he said.

There shouldnt be a down in the game that isnt exciting, with the potential of a big play on every down, he said.

The potential for a big play by Florida State was one thing that concerned Auburn defensive tackle Tracy Rocker, college footballs most acclaimed defensive lineman. ^ ,

You can never relax on defense, because you never know what they re going to do, Rocker said. Theyll run reverses just for the heck of it.

Youll ask yourself, Now, why did they do that? And then you find out they were setting something up.

Its a fun offense to watch on television, but not to play against.

Rocker injured a knee against Florida State last year and missed the final two games of the season, plus the Sugar Bowl.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBORO, Mass. - His name is plain, his school small and his personality humble. John Stephens talent, though, is eye-catching.

The soft-spoken star from Northwestern (La.) State became the focus of the New England Patriots offense as a rookie. He ran inside with power and outside with speed. He surprised himself but not his coaches.

Without a doubt, hes our most valuable offensive player, Patriots running backs coach Bobby Grier said. We thought he had that kind of ability from the first day we saw him on tape.

Now many others know of that ability. Stephens today was named the NFLs Offensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press.

He received 30 votes from sports writers and broadcasters in each NFL city. Philadelphia tight end Keith Jackson got 29 votes, Cincinnati running back Ickey Woods 19 and Los Angeles Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown 4.

Stephens didnt attend a major school like Jacksons Oklahoma, doesnt have the catchy name or the fancy end zone dances of Woods or the Heisman Trophy of Brown.

But pro scouts still found him at his Division I-AA school. Playing against second-level competition didnt keep him from excelling against first-rate NFL competition.

Stephens, who expected to be a backup as a rookie, rushed for 1,168 yards, fourth most in Patriot history and fifth in the NFL this season. His

peers picked him to start with Eric Dickerson in the AFCs Pro Bowl backfield.

One of his best games was the season ending 21-10 loss in Denver that left New England with a 9-7 record and out of the playoffs. He gained 130 yards in that game, including a 52-yard run and a 23-yard touchdown dash.

, Ill think about it over and over again, Stephens said of the loss. If I had done this or that, maybe we would have made the playoffs. Without him, the Patriots, without a productive passing attack, wouldnt have come close to the playoffs.

It makes me feel good, to gain the rookie honor, he said, but I mainly dont concern myself with awards because you dont control what happens with them. If you set your sights on awards and you dont get them, youre disappointed.

Hes very mature for his age, said Sam Goodwin, his college head coach. Hes just a good role model for young kids.

It was at the Senior Bowl where Stephens first recognized that having played for a Division I-AA school didnt mean he couldnt keep up with the Division I-A stars.

It was in New Englands first preseason game that offensive tackle Bruce Armstrong recognized that Stephens could hold his own with some of the top pros.

Hes a horse, Armstrong said. I hope we can give him the ball a lot.

It was early in the season when Coach Raymond Berry recognized

the wisdom of that tactic. Stephens carried the ball 297 times, second in Patriot historv to Jim Nances 299 in 1966.

But until his senior year at Spr-, inghill (La.) High School, he was an offensive lineman and linebacker.

We recruited him with the idea that wed start him out at running back, but hed probably end up at linebacker, Goodwin said.

Stephens ended up as the schools career rushing leader and was drafted by the Patriots with the 17th pick of the first round. He became a starter in the third game and rushed for more than 100 yards in five of his last nine games.

Offensive guard Sean Farrell said the biggest factor in his own outstanding season was Stephens.

Hes so good, he makes everybody else look good, Farrell

said. He doesnt need big blocks to make big plays.

But Stephens admitted that in his first regular season game, a 28-3 victory over the New York Jets, he was intimidated simply being on the same field with people like linebacker Robin Cole and defensive linemen Mark Gastineau and Marty Lyons.

I was playing against some of the guys I had watched while growing up,. Stephens said. But as the game went on, I forgot about it.

As the season went on, Stephens overcame time he lost in a training camp holdout and improved in the passing game. As if opponents didnt have enough to worry about, he was becoming a complete back.

This. Grier said, is the John Stephens I think well see in the future.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

: SYRACUSE, N.Y. - There will come a time when Syracuses Jim Boeheim can linger over the achievement of winning 300 games faster than any other coach in the history of major college basketball.

There might be a smattering of that time at t end of this season, but for a man who admits being a 24-hour-a-day basketball junkie, true reflection is not likely to occur until Boeheim walks away from the game.

Someday it will mean something.

But right now my concern is to get this team playing well, Boeheim said. Its something to look back on, but not something to look at now.

Unless third-ranked Syracuse is upset Tuesday ni^t by Rutgers, Boeheims 300th victory will come Friday against St. Francis, Pa.

The 44-year-old Boeheim is not superstitious. He is not worried that No. 300 will come in the 13th game of his 13th season. Louisvilles Denny Crum now has the distinction of ' reaching 300 victories quicker than anyone else. He did it in the ninth

Nehlan Wants Win

; (Continued From B-1)

Holtz began rambling on a different subject when the same question was put to him.

Im absolutely delighted to be at the Fiesta Bowl, he said. 1 brought a team here once before (Arkansas tied UCLA 10-10 in 1978) and we were treated superbly.'

Then he gave the assembled members of the media some advice before dealing with the question.

Be sure and take advantage of the Diablos. he said, referring to a local community service group that mans the Fiesta Bowls various hos-pjtality suites. Theyre a rare treat that no other bowl has and they do an outstanding job.

But make sure you dictate how much whiskey you drink. Dont let them tell you or youll be in severe trouble.

When his questioner would not be

put off, Holtz finally got around to the question of No, 1.

Ive never been in a position at this time of the year to say whos number one, he said. Thats always been ascertained by other people. I dont feel at this stage of the year Im in a position to say it again.

Thats not my decision. Thats for other people to say. The only thing Im worried about is how Notre Dame plays. I could care less who ends up number one if its not Notre Dame.

The Arkansas-UCLA game is the only tie in the 17 previous Fiesta Bowls. Another one next week would complicate the national championship picture.

Then you smart guys can figure out the mess, Nehlen said. But if somebody wins it, then even I can figure it out.

game of his 14th season.

Its always nice to set a record, but records are made to be broken. Hes a deserving coach, said Crum.

Its a great record because it shows consistency. You cant have too many bad years and expect to do that, Crum said.

In those 13 years, Boeheim has won 76.1 percent of his games, averaging 22 victories per season. His winning percentage is fourth best among active coaches behind only UNLVs Jerry Tarkanian, Temples John Chaney and North Carolinas Dean Smith and 11th best among all-time Division I coaches.

Boeheim won 100 games in his first four seasons and reached 200 victories in his ninth year. He has topped the 20-win mark 11 times in 12 seasons and taken his team to postseason tournaments every year, including an NCAA championship game in 1987.

Boeheim-led teams have lost just 93 times.

He achieved success in the first year and hasnt stopped, said New

York Knicks coach Rick Pitino, who was Boeheims assistant for two years and remains a close friend.

Outside, he wont let you know it, but inside, this means a lot to him, Pitino said. Jim will always put his kids interests before himself. Boeheim lives basketball.

I love the game. I love to see the kids play it right. I love to see great )lays. Ten minutes of great basket-)all against a team like Indiana, thats what I live for, said Boeheim, referring to Syracuses 102-78 rout of the Hoosiers earlier this year.

The win was especially satisfying for Boeheim, who regards Indianas Bob Knight as one of the best coaches in the game.

I also enjoy dealing with the kids off the court. You have rough times and good times, but all those times are special. You get to know special. people. You dont get an opportunity like that in all walks of life.

His dedication goes beyond practices and games.

During the season he watches basketball at home on cable televi

sion into the morning and frequently travels out of town looking for good players and good plays.

If youre into basketball coaching, youre into it 365 days a year, every minute of every day. Thats the only way there is, said Boeheim, who allows himself only two diversions: his family and golf.

Thats why Boeheim probably wont savor his 300th victory until he is no longer coaching.

Right now it doesnt matter because there is the next game or the next season to prepare for, said Boeheim, who added he has not found time to savor his golfing victory at the College Basketball Coaches Invitational this summer.

Boeheim said he has learned bits and pieces from every coach and every game he has ever watched.

Its all basketball. I may take something from a pro game. I see things at high school games that I use or develop. I learned from my college coach and my high school coach showed me certain things. I learn from watching (former UCLA Coach John) Woodens teams press

ing. Our motion offense is something I liked that I saw at Indiana, saic Boeheim.

that the 20 teams in the rankings remained the same and it also marked the end of the Georgetown slide.

The Hoyas, despite remaining

unbeaten, had dropped one place each of the past four polls. But they improved one place this week after beating Virginia Tech 87-57 and matching the school record with 15 blocked shots, three short of North Carolinas NCAA record, set three years ago.

Seton Halls jump from 15th to 13th marks the fourth straight poll the Pirates, 10-0, have improved in the rankings. Seton Hall entered the rankings for the first time in 30 years earlier this month as No. 20 and has improved each week to 17th, 15th and this weeks placing.Greene*s Heating & A/C757-1395

Spanish-Language Television Starts Own Ratings Service

For complete TV programming information, consult your weekly TV SHOWTIME from Sunday's Daily Reflector.

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

HOLLYWOOD From its inception a quarter-century ago, the Spanish-language TV industry in the United States has bitterly complained that major ratings firms have undercounted its audience and, as a result, stunted its growth.

The rating giants have sympathized with Sranish-language televisions quandary, but claimed their patrons paid them for monitoring the total universe of English-language TV viewers, nota selected linguistic sliver of the audience.

Now all this will change because the Telemundo and Univision networks, the nations prime Spanish-language broadcasters, have joined forces to commission their own, specialized ratings service.

Last Kiss

American singer Michael Jackson kisses a little Japanese girl who gave him a bouquet of flowers following a concert Monday night at the Tokyo Dome. Jackson said he would not have any more concerts following his current performances in Japan.

Network officials acknowledged last week that an earlier field of five companies has been narrowed to A.C. Nielsen Co. and Arbitron Ratings Co. The officials said that each company must now submit final proposals by Sunday. The winner, which probably will be selected by mid-January, will get as much as $40 million over five years to wire as many as 1,000 Latino households nationwide to the latest TV metering devices.

Without providing them some additional compensation, theyve been unwilling to do a proper job, said Larry McBride, senior vice president of marketing and sales at Telemundo. So we are now willing to pay a small fortune to get the job done properly.

Spanish-language broadcasters contend that the more extensive ratings will show them with more viewers than previously was believed, and thus will lead to a boost in advertising revenue.

Serious money is involved now, said Carlos Garcia, director of Research Resources, a Westlake Village, Calif., concern specializing in Latino marketing.

They (Telemundo and Univision officials) are convinced that theyll be able to charge a lot more for their air time because theyll be delivering an audience and can prove it, he said. Before, they were delivering the audience but couldnt prove it.

Although Nielsen and Arbitron, the nations No. 1 and 2 ratings companies, contend that they have improved their methods of measuring Latino viewing habits, they acknowledged that some of the criticism leveled at them by Spanish-language broadcasters is justified.

I think its fair in one sense, said Pierre Negroz, Arbitrons vice

president of TV sales and marketing. When Arbitron or Nielsen conducts a survey, we pick a sample that represents the whole marketplace, the whole geographic universe of people, including Hispanics. There is never really going to be as much sampling as Hispanic broadcasters would like.

Discovery Channel Focuses On Bible

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES - After more than 2,000 years, the mystery and magic surrounding the Bible has not abated.

Historian-archaeologist John Romer examines the Bible in a seven-part series for the Discovery Channel that attempts to determine what is fact and what is faith. Testament: The Bible and History begins Wednesday.

A lot of our knowledge is based on academic structure, said Romer, an Englishman who lives in Italy and Egypt. The trouble is that so many of our assumptions are wrong.

Weve given up our old myths, so now we have an archaeologist telling us about the Bible. A few years ago it would have been a preacher fronting a documentary on the Bible. And 200 years ago you would have been killed if you said the wrong thing.

Although he looks for a historical foundation,. frequently examining biblical sites for evidence, Romer is also quite sympathetic to acceptance on faith alone.

Now, instead of Adam and Eve, we have social Darwinism, he said. On the whole. Id rather have Adam and Eve. It deals with a story and is constructed around issues.

The first one-hour episode, Once Upon a Time, airs Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and is about the origins of the Bible. The second, Chronicles and Kings, airing Jan. 8, examines the accuracy of the Old Testament as history. The third, Mightier Than the Sword, is about the Hebrew Bible and the influence of Greece upon the writing of the Old Testament. The fourth show, Gospel Truth? airing Jan. 22, looks into the historical existence of Jesus.

There is no written evidence from his own lifetime that Jesus ever existed, Romer said.

Opening lead: Jack of 4 This week, we will concentrate on gleaning clues from the bidding and play. One of the beauties of bridge

to reason and infer, rather than project from a position where everything is known, as in chess. This hand fooled a many-time national champion.

Even though North-South were playing five-card majors. North was prepared to play in a diamond slam even opposite a three-card suit in partners hand. When South could not bid a a grand slam. North signed off in six diamonds.

Declarer won the opening club lead in dummy and East dropped the queen. A trump to the ace revealed the bad break, and declarer could not recover. Since he needed to ruff dummys club losers in hand, he could not draw Easts fangs, and East eventually scored a trump trick and a club ruff.

Easts queen of clubs at the first trick should have flashed a warning signal that declarer was going to encounter bad breaks. After win-

nique was for declarer to cash the king of diamonds. When the trump position shows up, declarer can still get home with careful timing.

After cashing the king-ace of spades and king-ace of hearts, declarer should ruff a heart in dummy. A marked trump finesse is then the entry to ruff spade, and another trump finesse allows declarer to draw all of Easts trumps. In prac

tice, West will be squeezed in the black suits, and declarer will collect all the tricks.

Salvadorans Take Violence In Stride As Voting Nears

The Daily Reflector, GreenviHe, N.C.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -This long-suffering nation has embarked on a presidential campaign played out against a backdrop of surging political killing. The winners prize in the balloting March 19 is a stalemated civil war.

Each passing week lengthens the list of dead, maimed and displaced in the 9-year-old guerrilla war without providing prospects for resolution of the insurgency either through negotiations or by force.

The result is a tiredness of spirit among the countrys 5.5 million people, especially the two-thirds who eke out a living raising com and beans on small plots.

The main contenders for the presidency are Alfredo Cristiani of the Nationalist Republican Alliance - the resurgent right-wing group known as Arena and Fidel Chavez Mena of the incumbent Christian Democratic Party.

Cristiani, a U.S.-educated coffee grower and businessman, has a narrow lead, but far from a majority, in the latest reliable poll.

Arena trounced the flagging Christian Democrats in municipal and legislative elections in March, winning an outright majority in the 60-seat unicameral legislature.

One new factor is the political left.

which is running candientes for the first time since the mid-1970s. Leftist leaders acknowledge they have no chance of winning, but say they hope to drum up support for negotiations.

Arena, citing its own polls, says it has the election wrapped up.

But Sigifredo Ochoa, a retired army colonel, legislator and one of Arenas top leaders, charged recently that some sectors in Washington intend to impose Chavez Mena as president.

Arena claims the United Stat^, which has provided El Salvador with more than $3 billion in aid this decade, helped rig elections in 1984 and 1985 to ensure Christian Democratic victories.

If Arena is deprived of its rightful victory, well, someone me if we did not win the elw-tion would we resort to nationalist guerrilla warfare. And I say a frustrated people could do just that, Ochoa said.

The Christian Democrats, as well as local and international human rights groups, say Arena was closely linked to deati squads that killed thousands of suspected leftists in the early 1980s. Arena denies the charges.

The Christian Democrats popularity has been drastically eroded by nearly five years of unfulfilled promises, economic stagnation and the widely held perception of official corruption.

They have not been able to make any progress towards ending the war, which pits about 7,000 Marxist-led guerrillas against the 56,000-member, U.S.-backed armed forces.

President Jose Napoleon Duarte, a staunch U.S. ally, has been diagnosed as having terminal liver cancer. Chemotherapy appears to have arrested its spread, and his most fer

vent hope is to be able to personally hand over power to his successor Junel.

Duarte, 63, contines to work. But his prestige and influence are greatly diminished.

He is not only a lame duck, he has no power to do anything, said Ignacio Martin Baro, a Roman Catholic priest and vice-rector of the Central American University.

No one envisions peace negotiations with the leftist guerrillas before the next administration takes over.

Three rounds of negotiations between 1984 and 1987 proved fruitless. The opposing positions have not changed significantly, and there is little besides increased warweariness to foster hope of a breakthrough.

Arena says it will talk with guerrillas, but Ochoa said that such discussions would not be negotiations. He added that Arena, in power, would propose a national plan drawn up with input from outside the party.

Ochoa contends the armed forces have had their hands tied by human rights concerns and other factors. He maintains that government troops could win in about two years without restraints.

But the guerrillas have been persistent and apparently have the moral and material support of many people in the countryside, the campesinos. Even U.S. military advisers here say the rebels are a thoroughly motivated fighting force.

Cory Swears In Generals

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines - President Corazon Aquino swore in 25 new generals today in a move her defense chief said would improve military effectiveness in dealing with Communist insurgents.

Ten of the new generals came from the army, five from the Philippine Constabulary, five from the air force, four from the navy and one from the medical service corps.

Mrs. Aquino made no statement during the brief ceremony, but Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos told reporters the promotions will improve the chain of command, which will result in a more efficient operation and thereby contribute to the further stability of the country.

The new generals brought to 93 the number of flag officers in the 160,000-member armed forces, which faces a 20-year-old nationwide Communist insurgency and a smouldering Moslem revolt in the south.

On Monday, the military accused Communist rebels of violating a Christmas cease-fire on five occasions, including an ambush Sunday in Iloilo province in which one soldier was killed.

Both Mrs. Aquino and the rebel New Peoples Army called unilateral cease-fires for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Unilateral truces will also go into effect at the New Year.

Takeshita Forms New Japanese Cabinet

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita today formed a new Cabinet and established a party committee on ethics in an effort to restore public confidence in a government embarrassed by a stock-trading scandal.

He is determined to restore public confidence by aggressively

dealing with the matter of political ethics, Chief Cabinet Secretary Keizo Obuchi said in a nationally televised news conference.

But one political analyst said the new Cabinet must face the problem that Takeshita himself was linked to the scandal.

The 20-member Cabinet contains 15 new names, but key officials such as Obuchi, Foreign Minister Sousuke

Uno and Finance Minister Tatsuo Murayama retained their posts.

Takeshitas popularity has been eroded by the passage of a controversial tax reform program and by the scandal, in which influential politicians profited from transactions in unlisted shares in a real estate firm.

Earlier this month, a poll in the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun show

ed the Takeshita governments approval rating had slumped to 18 percent from 30 percent when he took office in November 1987. Takeshita had an aide who profited in share transactions, but the prime minister denied any personal involvement.

Murayama has held his post since Saturday. His predecessor, Kiichi Miyazawa, resigned on Dec. 9.
