EAL Shut Down

Pilots Plan Aerial Slowdown

By Marcy Gordon

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Strike-paralyzed Eastern Airlines virtually shut down and furloughed more than 5,000 workers, a day before the nations pilots geared up for a job action that threatened to clog air traffic today from coast to coast.

But officials at several airports said that by 10 a.m. EST, it was too early to tell whether the pilots had affected air travel. In some cities bad weather delayed or canceled flights, and in others there was little early indication of a slowdown.

Eastern said Monday it had to send workers home because pilots have honored a strike by the airlines 8,500-member Machinists union, which represents mechanics and ramp service workers.

You cant fly without pilots, said airline spokesman Robin Matell.

The strike, which began Saturday and culminated a 17-month labor dispute, grounded most of the airlines flights, stranded thousands of passengers and pushed the nations seventh-largest airline to the brink of collapse. The airline wants $150 million in concessions; the Machinists want $50 million in raises.

N.C. Gets New Coat Of Ice, Snow

We cannot run an airline with unpredictability, Matell told reporters in Miami. We cannot continue to inconvenience passengers. We cannot afford the steady financial drain.

Matell said Eastern would continue only its most profitable routes its shuttle between Washington, New York and Boston, and three round trips weekly between Miami, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile.

Full-page advertisements for Eastern today in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe urged Fly Us With No Reservations and promised that the shuttle is operating every hour.

Henry Duffy, president of the Air Lihe Pilots Association, has asked its 40,000-member pilots nationwide, beginning at 6 a.m. EST today, to adhere to the rules to ensure the safety of the system, which he said had been weakened by the Eastern disruptions.

As the workday began, air traffic was not crippled.

Everythings quiet, said Mildred Schneider, spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the three major New York-area airports. Asked if pilots were conducting slowdown, she said, No one has given me that indication.

By 8:30 a.m. EST, no delays were posted on flight-status boards at counters of major carriers at Miami International Airport.

National Airport flights began as usual at 7 a.m., and some flights took off, said Dave Hess, spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington

School Board Wants Bond Issue

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The Pitt County Board of Educa

tion says it wants the school system on the ballot should the Pitt Board of

Commissioners place a bond issue before the citizens to pay for county needs.

During its regular monthly meeting Monday, the education board adopted a resolution that requests commissioners to include a $10 million bond for school facility needs in any bond referendum placed before the public.

The $10 million received from a bond would be used in addition to

about $20 million the commissiorers have offered in increments of $4 million over the next five years.

The pay-as-you-go approach presented by commissioners for paying for school facility needs was offered after they rejected the Board of Educations request for a $25.7 million bond referendum in January.

The Board of Education says the school system will need more than $50 million worth of building improvements over the next 10 years.

In other matters Monday, the board heard requests from Allen Wooten, a student at Farmville Central High School, to create stiffer

gram is targeted at middle school students.

Vassar Fields of Farmville also addressed the board about the drug problem in the schools, suggesting that students, parents, law enforcement officers and others in the community meet to discuss ways to combat the problem.

Ed Congleton and Sidney Scott, chairmen of the Stokes Elementary and Belvoir Elementary advisory councils, respectively, requested

that the board consider placing the new elementary school to be built in the North Pitt attendance area in Stokes.

The new elementary school should be seriously considered for the old high school grounds, Congleton said. Stokes is on the verge of major expansion, he said, explaining how growth in southern parts of the county is making the

Scores of sixth- and eighth-graders in Pitt County generally ranked above overall scores for students in Region 1 and the state on the state writing assessment this year, but the Pitt County Board of Education expressed concern about the range in scores among the schools in the county.

During the boards regular monthly meeting Monday, Charles Ross, associate superintendent for instruction, and testing coordinator Rod Whitley presented the results of the 1989-90 scores.

About 6.8 percent of the Pitt County students in grade six scored at

4.0, the highest mark. The region and state figures were 4 percent and

2.8 percent, respectively.

About 3.7 percent of the Pitt County students in grade eight scored at

4.0, while region and state figures were 3.2 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively.

Students in grade six are tested on their ability to write either a descriptive or a clarification composition, while students in grade eight are to write either a point-of-view or a persuasive composition. For each grade a single test is used.

This year, the test was given Nov. 1, Ross said. Sixth-graders were asked to write a descriptive composition while eighth-graders wrote an essay from their point of view.

Students use preprinted answer sheets containing space for their names, background questions and

The Greenville City Council on Monday approved a series of budget ordinances allocating a total of about $200,000 during the current fiscal year to assist in meeting the citys future computer needs.

The councils financial allocations on Monday followed a previous decision by the pane} to implement the recommendations of a computer consultant following a computer

needs analysis. Those recommendations, by the East Carolina University Bureau of Business Research, included selling part of the citys current system and acquiring updated equipment.

The $200,000 includes the purchase of an IBM AS 400 system, a software operating system, police/fire rescue software, administrative software, and training expenses.

The council also voted to amend the citys pay plan to allow the hiring of a computer programmer at

grade 11 ($20,654 to $30,992 salary range).

We certainly understand the importance of computers to our needs here in the city, said Greenville Mayor Ed Carter following the decision.

There are many things that are extremely contingent on computers. The police force can hardly operate today without computers as well as other departments such as finance and the fire department.

We must be able to rely on the input of the consultants. I feel confi

dent that the consultants are experienced and capable individuals and essentially we are following their recommendations, realizing that we must move forward in this area, Carter said.

Rex Wilder, the citys data processing manager, estimated the city will need to spend a total of about $430,000 over the next four and a half years to fully implement the consultants recomrpendations.

Warehouse Partner Unaware Of Advances

THE .ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGHA co-owner of the Liberty Tobacco Warehouse in Wilson told jurors he knew nothing about the warehouse general manager borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the business.

Robert D. Oldham of Nashville, ^Tenn., said Monday he knew nothing about the cash advances obtained by the manager, J.T. Topimy" Worthington Jr. of Greenville, until after a fire destroyed the warehouse in October 1986.

Worthington and his father, co-owner J.T. Worthington, also of Greenville, are on trial in U.S.

District Court on arson, conspiracy and fraud charges stemming from the fire.

At the time of the fire, a government auditor has testified. Tommy Worthington owed the warehouse nearly $600,000, including a $19,000 advance he had obtained on the day of the blaze. In all. Tommy Worthington had borrowed $1.7million from 1980 through 1986, putting much of the money into a failing nightclub and convenience store in Greenville, the prosecution says.

The government contends that the Worthingtons arranged the fire to cover up the advances and to solve a cash-flow problem. The defense contends, however, that the warehouse was profitable and

that the Worthingtons had no reason to have it burned.

Oldham said that the elder Worthington told him about the advances shortly before he was to be questioned by an insurance company. J.T. Worthington claimed then that the amount owed by his son could be $150,000, Oldham said.

He wanted niie to tell (the insurance company) I knew something about the advances, and I told him I wasnt about to tell them I knew about the advances. Oldham testified.

He said he had no day-to-day involvement in the business and never reviewed the warehouse records before the fire because I

trusted J.T. completelv to run it.

Oldham said he did not know until last year, when his accountant gained access to warehouse records confiscated by the government, the full amount taken in advances by Tommy Worthington. He has not been repaid, he said.

Oldhams testimony came in accordance with a plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to filing a false financial statement with a bank and agreed to cooperate with investigators. He faces a maximum two years in prison and fine of $250,000, but the prosecution has agreed to recommend probation and a $1,000 fine.

Jurors Indict Man In^Bank Swindles

By John Bare

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

A Baltimore man was indicted Monday by a Pitt County grand jury on three charges of swindling two area banks out of nearly $13,000, and knowingly depositing a worthless check at a third bank.

The grand jury indicted Prince Nduka Wobo, 28, 1240 Beaumont Ave., Baltimore, on three counts of obtaining property by false pretense. Wobo was arrested in Maryland by U.S. Secret Service agents in December and brought back to Pitt County to face the charges.

He is to be arraigned in Pitt County Superior Court on March 27.

The indictments allege that on Oct. 4 and Oct. 5, Wobo opened accounts at First Citizens Bank and Trust Co. on Memorial Drive, at Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Eastern North Carolina on Arlington Drive and at Planters National Bank & Trust Co, at The Plaza mall.

Greenville Police Detective Wayne Williams said complete restitution has been made to First Citizens and Home Federal, but the investigation is continuing. Were still working on the other banks involved, and we have a suspect, Williams said. (More) arrests are inevitable.

Wobo allegedly opened the accounts with cash deposits of $50 or $100, using a fake Social Security

number, telephone number and address, and posing as an East Carolina University student..

Later, on Nov. 16, Wobo allegedly deposited phony checks drawn on a closed account from Unity National Bank of Houston.

The indictments allege Wobo deposited a $8,580 check into his account at First Citizens, and deposited a $4,680.51 check into his Home Federal account at a branch in Bethel.

On the same day, he deposited $8,580 into his Planters account at a branch on South Washington Street, according to the indictments.

The checks were made out to Wobo, and he endorsed them, according the indictments, but they were actually drawn on a closed account and Unity National returned the checks to the Greenville banks and did not cover the amounts.

On Nov. 18, Wobo withdrew $6,000 from a Raleigh branch of First Citizens and $2,300 from a Greenville branch of the bank, the indictments state.

On the same day, he withdrew $4,400 from an Evans Street branch of Home Federal in the form of an official check that the bank made out to him, the indictments state.

The indictments do not allege that Wobo ever withdrew any money from his Planters account.

Wobo has been released on bond pending trial, but a District Court judge ordered him to remain in North Carolina.

By Johif Bare

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Attorneys for the state and a Bethel funeral home owner are working to draw up a consent order to guide state health officials through their investigation of three Pitt County farm buildings where medical waste and human body parts are being stored.

Nancy Scott, a lawyer with the state attorney generals office and counsel for the Solid Waste Management Section of4he Division of Health Services, said she has finished the initial draft of the consent order and was to send it to John M. Grays attorney today.

In the consent order, Ms. Scott said the state is requesting that Gray provide information on where and when he obtained the material. The order also requests that Gray hire an approved contractor to dispose of the waste properly. Depending upon how many classifications of waste are found at the sites, more than one method of disposal may be needed, she said.

Gray, a lists a Raleigh address, owns Ayers-Gray Funeral Home in Bethel and Gray Funeral Home and Crematorium in Raleigh. He has stored medical waste and human body parts in a packhouse in northern Pitt County, and he has also stored medical waste including

tobacco barns on another farm. Both sites are near Stokes.

A company Gray began in 1980, Gray Farms Inc., owns the land at one site, and Gray leases the land from his cousin at the second site. A plastic bucket in one barn was labeled contaminated needles, and other containers were labeled hazardous waste. County detectives who inspected the packhouse after residents discovered its contents said the stored material included medical waste and human organs.

A spokesman for the solid waste section said the consent order may also address penalties the agency wants to levy against Gray for potential violations.

We will probably go through with listing what we want (the fines to be for each type of violation), but whether or not we will get that depends on the (state) Supreme Court ruling, said Stephen Reid, spokesman for the solid waste section.

State agencies currently have no power to levy fines against groups not complying with regulations because the high court has not ruled on a case that challenges the constitutionality of that power.

Law enforcement officials determined last week that Gray has not broken any criminal law, but Reid said Gray could be violating a handful of regulations concerning the acceptance, storage and disposal of medical waste.

Each violation of state regulations may be a misdemeanor, Ms. Scott said, and any ensuing charges would have to be pursued by the local district attorney.

Gray, who is licensed only to dispose of dead human bodies and body parts, is not permitted to handle medical waste. In December, the solid waste section cited Gray for il

legally incinerating medical waste at his crematorium in Raleigh.

Needles, syringes, blood packs, laboratory bags and similar waste must be burned at a medical waste disposal iacility, not a crematorium, Reid said.

County health officials have said the stored materials appear to have come from a hospital, but they did not come from Pitt County Memorial Hospital, which operates its own incinerator.

State agents briefly inspected the Pitt County sites Friday, and they are to return later for a detailed inventory.

They decided they will just have to go through all of the material, inventory it, catalog it, classify it and figure out exactly what type of waste we have out there, Reid said.

When Gray met with officials Friday, he claimed he was not aware he was unauthorized to accept the medical waste, Reid said.

If there is any question as to whether Gray fraudulently led medical agencies to believe he was qual

ified to accept the waste, the hospitals would have to pursue that matter in a civil action after state agents determine the origin of the waste, Reid said.

Grays attorney, Frederic E. Toms of Cary, would not comment on why Gray chose to store the material in farm builehngs, why he improperly accepted the medical waste or how he had intended to dispose of the material.

However, Toms said Gray has agreed to cooperate with state agents in the investigation. Though Gray was not licensed to deal with the waste, the material has been securely stored in proper containers, the attorney said. Toms said the story was blown out of proportion.

Noland said he expects construction on the new GHA development to begin in mid-April.

Meanwhile, James. E. Barnhill, GHA director of operations, told commissioners that the phase I modernization effort at the Moyewood development is appnoxi-mately 65 percent complete. He said the work is proceeding according to the projected timetable.

The effort involves the modernization of utility distribution systems, furnace replacement and electrical work. ' .

Barnhill also said repairs to 21 authority unit roofs damaged by the Feb. 21 storm have been completed at a cost of approximately $2,100.

The,director of operations told commissioners that final inspections begin today for the authoritys painting program involving 120 units of the Kearney Park, Newtown and Hopkins Park neighborhoods.

Sallye C. Streeter, director of resident affairs, reported Monday that average rent at authority developments in February amounted to $129.15. The rents included: Mead-owbrook, $117.25; Kearney Park, $142.01; Moyewood I, $131.40; Moyewood II, $138.51; Hopkins Park, $119.64; Newtown, $120.45, and West Meadowbrook, $120.83.

Truth In Preference To Fiction

Another Look

More At Stake Than A Few Ducks

The Wildlife Resources Commission dissembled a major roadblock to a 30,000-acre wildlife refuge along the Roanoke River Sunday when it correctly endorsed the preserve. But in Pitt County, neighbor to the refuge, one large stone remains unturned a stone that may be crucial to the projects acceptance.

The Pitt County Commission opposed the refuge when it was first proposed in 1988, a move that was short-sighted and based on inadequate information. That hasty opposition could stifle an influential block of support for the refuge.

Being neighborly is nice, but when that concern is based on faulty facts and short-sightedness, it should be re-examined. There's more at stake than a few ducks.'

Conservationists feel Rep. Walter Jones, D-N.C., who represents the Congressional district that contains the refuge, will bolster ' the project if there is strong backing in Pitt, his home county. Advocates of the refuge point out that the position of the Pitt County Commission is one important gauge Jones will use to make a decision. It is a position that should be reconsidered.

Pitts board nixed the project in deference to the Martin County Commission, citing fears about declining tax base and economic loss from federal takeover of land.

While that rejection was a neighborly thing to do, it overlooks the most important aspect of establishing a Roanoke River Wildlife Refuge the need to preserve what remains of a threatened part of the states natural heritage.

Since the issue emerged, a closer look has been taken at potential revenue losses and that scrutiny shows the economic argument against the refuge can be questioned. Consider these points.

First, the land that would host the proposed preserve is not developable. It is river bottomland, alternating between ^flood plain and swamp. Other than a one-time boon when timber is cut, it is doubtful Martin County could expect significant tax proceeds from the tract. The Commissions claim that it will be losing potential industrial sites is unrealistic.

Second, when claiming potential tax losses, Martin County has compared apples to oranges. The figures on lost revenue in other counties containing wildlife refuges are not applicable to Martins situation. Economic circumstances differ sharply, and comparisons cited dont reflect this variation.

Pitts commissioners might ask why other nearby counties even those whose lands are includedMn the refuge have endorsed the project. Public officials in Bertie and Halifax counties, both neighbors of Martin County and both affected by the refuge support the preserve.

Perhaps because there are sound environmental and conservation considerations for establishing the refuge. The plan is a needed opportunity to safeguard a vanishing ecosystem and a diverse wildlife habitat that fact is well-documented and cant be questioned. Without establishing and maintaining a refuge, there is no way to assure this resource and the wildlife it contains is protected.

A refuge would also guarantee the public access to the land hiking, recreation, nature study and hunting should be allowed, but controlled. If the area remains in private hands there is little hope for this accessibility.

The preserve would offer North Carolina a chance to further its involvement in the national wildlife refuge system. The other preserves in the state are primarily coastal; adding an inland refuge will provide more diversity for the states refuge system a fact critical to preserving a wide variety of wildlife and waterfowl.

Besides, the state of North Carolina already owns six tracts of property within the proposed protection area. The refuge would protect the environmentally sensitive land around this investment.

Its time Pitts commissioners took another look at their stand on the Roanoke River Wildlife Refuge. Being neighborly is nice, but when that concern is based on faulty facts and short-sightedness, it should be re-examined. Theres more at stake than a few ducks. In question is an important slice of the states heritage.NBHStW. A"CR)*EEMEKENCi" 15 ABOUT ID BE DECLARED IH AMB^CA'S MURDER CAPITAL,WA6HIHGT0N,D.C,

Weak Approach To A Strong Problem

WASHINGTON -- D.C. Councilman Frank Smith, Jr. and I, both parents of teen-agers, have spent a lot of time talking about what is happening to too many of our citys children. We have groaned about their distorted values, their inadequate attention to academics, their exposure to crime and physical danger, their virtual abandonment by parents.

For us, this is not idle speculation. As parents of teen-agers, we take each other as deadly serious when we insist that something must be done.

Thus Smith will know that I mean him no disrespect when I say that his curfew plan 11 p.m. weekdays and midnight on weekends for persons under the age of 18 is a bad idea: poorly premised, inaccurately aimed and impossible to enforce.

I had reached that general conclusion some time ago, back when Smith started talking about curfews as a way of curbing youthful violence at the citys go-go clubs. A chat with a police acquaintance has convinced me that its worse that I thought.

The officer, a patrolman in one of the toughest sections of town.

William Raspberry

begins, as I do, with the notion that it is unfair and probably unhelpful to punish all teen-agers because a few of them are making bad choices.

My own son, he said, has complained to me about a teacher who punishes the whole class because a handful of students act up. I didnt do anything wrong, he told me. Why should I be'punished? I had to agree with him, although I do understand the teachers attempt to force the good kids to apply peer pressure to the bad ones.

But where is the peer pressure in curfews? Is restricting the activities of well-behaved kids supposed to make them put pressure on strangers across town who are selling drugs or firing guns at each other?

' If the curfew is poorly targeted, it also raises serious enforcement problems. Listen to the policeman:

Its hard enough to tell who does and who doesnt fall under the law. In the case of a 12-year-old, you can be fairly certain. But what of a kid who looks to be, say, 17? He doesnt have to carry I.D.; he doesnt even have to stop and talk to me. So what do I do?

I ask him his name, and he tells me George Washington. I say, Where do you live, and he sa^ Mount Vernon. How old are you, I say, and he tells me I was 257 my last birthday. So I bring him down to the station, learn that he is almost 19 (Smiths law applies only to youngsters under 18) and I may be looking at a law suit.

Or say he really is under 18. The proved law says Im supposed to hold him until his parents come to get him. Suppose theyre not home. Am I supposed to stay with him and away from my street patrol duties until we locate his parents?

And what if the parents, either because they are disgusted or dont care, refuse to come down? The law says they get a $50 fine. Cant you just hear it: Your honor, I dont have the money. Does the judge put them in jail? And if so, who is supposed to keep the kid off the street then?

Yougetthei^ea.

As a parent, this 15-year veteran of the police force believes as firmly as Smith and I that parents should be held responsible for their juvenile children. But he shares my view that the curfew is a bad idea at best a device for reinforcing the discipline of parents of well-behaved children. Nor does he believe it could ever be fully and fairly enforced.

The citys problems with crime, drug trafficking and rampant murder are not primarily teen-age problems. Indeed, it would curb a lot more illicit activity and render the streets a good deal safer if the curfew were applied to people between the ages of, say, 20 and 30.

The feeling here is that the frustrated Smith has targeted teen-' agers simply because they are targetable. Would his bill make parents behave more responsibly? Perhaps in a few cases. Would it make rootless, valueless and hopeless youngsters into model teenagers, or stem the wave of violence that is driving the nations capital to distraction?

Frank Smith has to know better.

If Bennett Can Shake It, So Can U.S.

Ellen

Goodman

BOSTON - Those who recognize the symptoms of withdrawal watched Bill Bennett closely. Did he fiddle a bit desperately with his pen. Did he seem just a touch cranky? Had he added a pound or two around the middle?

After more than 20 years as a two-pack-a-day smoker, Bennett had gone through a six-day crash program to kick the habit. Hed done the long walks through the woods. Hed done the aerobics. Hed done the meditation. Hed had the ashtray on his desk replaced by a bowl of fruit and some lollipops.

Now in his second drug-free week, he was under the stress of a Senate confirmation hearing. But not to worry. The new drug czar has to be one of the most highly motivated smokers to ever go to a clinic. When he was chosen for the job in January, he swore hed quit. Its better than even money that hell stay clean.

Indeed, Bennetts pledge made a contemporary case study of changed attitudes toward cigarettes. It has become obvious, at last.

that cigarettes are addictive. No drug czar could head up an antidrug operation while chained to nicotine.

If that is true for Bennett, its true for the rest of the government. One of the other sticky questions to be asked about our drug policy is this one: Can the United States credibly pressure cpuntries that export drugs to us while we push cigarettes?

As a nicotine-free Bennett was being approved for his new post, the State Department released a report on international drug trafficking. It cited worldwide increases in marijuana, opium and coca. It listed countries that are and arent helping us in the effort. The report didnt list our own tobacco cartels or the worldwide increase in the use of nicotine.

The comparisons are not pure. Tobacco is legal and cocaine is illegal. People are not being mugged by desperate smokers in pursuit of money for their next hit. Nor are there gun battles in the urban streets between corporate executives from RJR and Philip Morris.

But in the scheme of things, tobacco is far more deadly. An estimated 395,000 Americans die annually because of smoking. Thats easily ten times the number who die from illegal drugs, even if you include those addicts who die from AIDS. In foreign policy, we threaten governments that dont inhibit the flow of drugs. We also threaten governments that dont permit the flow of cigarettes. Whats wrong with this picture?

American companies made 600 billion cigarettes last year, the highest number on record. Of these, 100 billion went overseas, half to the Far East. Its no longer news that the one trade breakthrough there has been cigarettes.

The tobacco companies are not, to put it mildly, a goodwill ambassador for other American products. Weve created a poisonous environment for trade, says Rep. Chester Atkins (D-Mass.).

Atkins, along with California congressmen Henry Waxman (D) and Mel Levine (D) and Kansas Republican Bob Whittaker, have introduced a bill that would at least restrain our role as nicotine pushers. American companies would be forbidden from advertising overseas in ways that are prohibited here. That would deep-six television ads like the ones in Japan.

In the same spirit, the bill would prevent our government from threatening trade sanctions against countries which are unwilling to allow the promotion of cigarettes. Finally, cigarettes abroad would have to carry the same warning labels they carry here. It is the least that we can do in the war against drugs.

The tobacco leaf is as imbedded in American history and culture as the coca leaf is in Latin America. It is a tangled part of our political life. But if Bill Bennett can break his addiction to the evil weed, so can this government.

Longer Senate Terms: An Unpopular Idea With Merit

Senate Courtesy Shaken In Tower Fight

Walter

Mears

WASHINGTON - Layer by layer, the Senates courtly veneer is peeling away as John G. Towers former colleagues sit in judgment of our distinguished friend.

Thats the way senators talk about senators, and former senators, even when the political cutlery is out.

In this instance, Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., was speaking, and right after he called Tower distinguished, he called him Mr. Alcohol Abuse, saying he would not vote to confirm such a man to be secretary of defense.

Senatorial courtesy is taking a beating, the niceties of Senate address notwithstanding. The words of esteem are demonstrably hollow. Amid the flowery salutations come accusations of hypocrisy, of judgment by standards that are at least double and maybe more.

Republicans are making a target list of Democrats who have taken campaign contributions, speechmak-ing fees and trip expenses from defense interests, all to counter the criticism of Towers lucrative consulting contracts with the defense industry.

That may not accomplish much because the numbers are public information anyhow, and the practice involves senators of both parties. Hollings said the tactic is part of a Republican scorched ^rth policy.

But so far, neither side has escalated past anonymity on the central issue of the Tower debate, the argument about excessive drinking. There have been reputed suggestions of problem dnnking by others in the Senate, but never with names to make them more than rumor.

' Sen. John Warner of Virginia, senior Republican on the Armed Services Committee, says he never saw Tower impaired bv alcdiol. Warner pointedly declined to answer when asked whether he ever saw any other senator drunk. Towers drinking habits are described in a secret FBI report, open only to senators and off-limits in floor debate. Republicans call it anonymous hearsay and innuendo; Towers opponents say it provides clear evidence of a persistent drinking problem.

' But no one claims personal knowledge; no senator has said he saw John Tower drunk or even tipsy. I challenge any member of the Senate to come in and tell me that he has seen John Tower inebriated, said Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.

None has.

We all heard of it, Hollings said. 'I thought hed outgrown it.

Sen. Sam Nunn, chairman of the Armed Services Committee and the leading opponent of confirmation, said he never saw Tower drunk. He was senior Democrat on the committee when Tower was its chairman. Nunn said he had fully ex-pected to vote for Tower until evi-dence of problem drinkinc and the question of defense consiutant contracts came up in the confirmation investigation.

In 1984, when Tower left the Senate after 24 years, more than 40 members took the occasion to praise his performance, especially on na- tional defense. Nunn said his talents were national assets.

In debate on the nomination, the Georgia Democrat said he respects Towers knowledge, but that questions of personal conduct, discretion and judgment are at issue now.

Not that sincerity ever has been one of the tests of Senate oratory, especially on occasions of ceremony. Much of the farewell praise for Tower came from Democrats who are opposing him now.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts called him a magnificent champion of the armed forces. Sen. James Exon of Nebraska praised his strong leadership and sound head. Sen. Bennett Johnston of Louisiana, uncom

mitted now, said Tower was one of the leading defense authorities not just in the country but in the world.

It is sort of nice to be able to hear these nice things said about ones self in the Senate, Tower said of the farewell speeches. It is almost like having the privilege of reading your own obituary.

Another version is being written in Senate debate now.

I think part of Towers problem is a lot of people dont like him personally, said Sen. Trent Lott, R-

Miss. But thats no reason to vote against him.

John Tower was never a member of the club, said Sen. William Cohen, R-Maine, who supports the nomination.

But these are not clubby times anyhow.

Walter R. Mears, vice president and columnist for The Associated Press, has reported on Washington and national politics for more than 25 years.

now been returned on a technical matter, proponents made their argument.

Sen. George Daniel, D-Caswell, sponsor of the bill, noted that most public officials are elected to four-year, or longer, terms. Judges serve four to eight years, governors and the Council of State members, district attorneys, and most county commissioners and city councilmen serve four-year terms. He asked, What purpose does it serve that legislators only get two-year terms?

Daniel noted that in the 15 southeastern states, only Georgia and North Carolina have their entire assemblies on two-year terms. In nine of the states, senators get four-year terms and House members two. But there is no serious talk of giving North Carolina senators longer terms than representatives.

Sen. Dennis Winner, D-Buncombe, , argued that a longer term would insulate legislators from some of the pressure which special interest groups can bring to bear. When legislators are involved in never-ending elections, they have to constantly worry about raising money from special interests, and keeping

them happy so they dont throw*their money to challengers.

Sen. Marshall Rauch, D-Gaston, argued that many good people refuse to run for the legislature because they dont want to endure campaigns every two years. Cut the number of campaigns in half, he said, and more well-qualified people would consider running.

Sen. C.W. Hardin, R-Haywood, said that longer terms would probably reduce the amount of money legislators had to raise to run for office, and that it would save citizen legislators precious time for working, making up for time lost from their jobs when they served in Raleigh.

Sen. Betsy Cochrane, R-Davie, was the only negative vote. She opposes the timing of the elections, in off-years when Democrats tend to run more strongly, but she also raised the question of accountability. If legislators run less frequently, they may lose touch with the voters, she said. ^

But Winner had a sharp answer: I dont think any of us would say that Sen., (Jesse) Helms or Sen. (Terry) Sanford is not accountable to the public because they have six-year terms.

Legislators Eye Tax Hike To Fund Teacher Raises

By John Flesher

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - As Republican Gov. Jim Martin prepares to unveil his plan for improving teacher salaries, some rank-and-file legislators say they are ready to raise taxes but the Democratic leadership is noncommittal.

Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, and Sen. Helen Marvin, D-Gaston, plan to file bills to implement the North Carolina Association of Educators plan to get teacher salaries at or near the national average in three years.

Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, and Sen. Helen Marvin, D-Gaston, on Monday filed bills to implement the North Carolina Association of

Educators plan to get teacher salaries at or near the national average in three years.

The plan would cost $540 million per year when fully implemented in 1991-92. It includes no funding proposal, but its sponsors said a tax increase would be required to pay for it.

We ha\e a tremendous revenue shortage, Nesbitt said. I think the question is, are we going to be timid and get by til next year and have the same problem, or are we going to be bold and go ahead and do what it takes to fix it.

The Legislatures two top-ranking Democrats said they were not convinced a tax increase was necessary. Senate President Pro Tern Henson Barnes, D-Wayne, and

House Speaker Joe Mavretic, D-Edgecomibe, said at a joint news conference they would not commit themselves until they see Martins plan.

The governor is scheduled to make public his recommendation during a speech to the State Board of Education on Wednesday.

A tax hike should always be the very last thing you should ever look at, Barnes said. It wont necessarily take a tax hike to do it and I hope it doesnt.

Mavretic said. Right at this stage of the game, I do not know if (a tax increase) is needed or not. He said legislators should let Martin present his plan before we muddy the water. .

Democrats have been burned at

the ballot box after supporting previous tax increases. Mavretic and Barnes acknowledged their reluctance to be staked out stemmed in part from the publics failure to give Democratic lawmakers credit for going beyond pay raises Martin has sought.

Martins spokesman, Tim Pittman, declined to give details of the governors plan but noted that the , governor has said new revenue will be needed. Martin has hinted that he will recommend lifting an eight-year freeze on the teachers salary schedule in conjunction with statewide implementation of the career ladder, a form of merit pay.

A media briefing is scheduled after Martins spe^h, and editorial writers have been invited to the Ex-

WILMINGTON - Five letters from leaf dealers to the Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau, asking that the agency accept shipments of both U.S. and foreign leaf, are being evaluated by the Office of Inspector General.

The contract calls for 100 percent U.S.-grown tobacco.

Frank W. Weeks, senior special agent with the inspector generals office, said Monday that agents are evaluating the letters from November 1988 to see what impact it will have on our case, even though the contracts did not involve federal export credit guarantee programs. *

Officials with the agriculture and justice departments are conducting a crimina investigation concerning charges that leaf dealers made millions of dollars by mixing U.S. and foreign tobacco and selling it as 100 percent U.S. leaf under the export programs.

The programs are designed to boost exports of U.S. agricultural products.

Weeks said agents have examined records involving $240 million to $260 million in tobacco shipped under the loan guarantee programs the past three fiscal years.

The investigators are looking for any federal violations, including possible violations of banking-related statutes and everything that affects trade, Weeks said. The probe will not be completed for several months, he said, Were trying to move forward as fast as we can and as far as we can.

The U.S. attorney is working with us closely on it and hes very interested in it, Weeks told the Wilmington Morning Star.

The Taiwan monopoly says in its contract that dealers must certify that shipments contain tobacco grown only in the U.S. The tobacco must be certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as to the grades being shipped.

Henry Faulkner, tobacco marketing specialist with the USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service in Raleigh, said he examines

contracts to determine the USDA grade requested. The tobacco is inspected to determine that those ades are being shipped.

Officials with DibreU-Carolina Far Eastern Corp. said last week that the firm was unable to fill the contract with all-U.S. tobacco because it could not buy all it needed on auction markets last year.

Jim Starkey, senior vice president with Universal Leaf Tobacco Co., said Monday that the firm did have a commercial contract dispute with a customer. Its my understanding that dispute has been resolved witti the customer. Starkey said he does not know the details, but that the firm treats relationships with customers confidentially.

Letters to the Taiwan firm also were sent by A.C. Monk and Company, The Austin Tobacco Co. and Jas. I. Miller Tobacco Co.

RALEIGH The state House and Senate speedily put the finishing touches on a $79.1 million emergency prison construction bill after a joint conference committee resolved a dispute over minority contractors.

The House voted 94-8 to approve the bill Monday, and the Senate vote was 43-0. The measure was to become law today when signed by Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner and House Speaker Joe Mavretic.

The two-year bill will fund construction of space for 608 medium-custody beds and 200 minimum-custody beds. It also will fund expansion of alternative punishments such as intensive probation and parole and electronic house arrest designed to keep the inmate population under control.

Last month, the Legislature enacted another bill that broadened the authority of the state Parole Commission to release inmates convicted of misdemeanors when the population reaches a certain thresh-

The bills were requested by Gov. Jim Martin, whose legislative liaison, Ward Purrington, said the construction program was not harmed by the delay in enactment of the second measure.

We would have liked to move more quickly but we do have some significant lead time, and well use that to the best advantage to address

our pressing needs, Purrington said.

The House approved the bill Feb. 9 but ainended it to require tnat for eveif^ontract let under the construction program, an effort must be made to give companies owned by minorities at least 10 percent of the work.

The Senate balked at the provision, creating a stalemate that lasted several weeks. Finally, an agreement was reached to establish a goal of 10 percent minority participation in the entire construction program, but not necessarily in every contract.

Rep. Thomas Hardaway, D-Halifax, who sponsored the original amendment, said the compromise would give the governor more latitude and thereby fewer excuses for failure to meet the goal.

He told reporters it might be difficult to reach the 10 percent goal on some smaller contracts worth just a few thousand dollars. Applying the goal to such contracts might make it hard to find any takers, he said.

Hardaway acknowledged that the goal could not be enforced, citing a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down a Richmond, Va., law guaranteeing minority-owned firms a percentage of city contracts.

But he warned that legislators would take a hard look at why if the Martin administration fails to meet the 10 percent goal.

Prison Population Still Mounting

RALEIGH (AP) - North Carolinas prison population increased to within 200 inmates of its 18,000-prisoner capacity despite 18 days of expanded emergency paroles designed to reduce it.

The states 89 prisons housed 17,809 inmates as of midnight Monday - 161 more than Feb. 16, when the population was above 17,640 for a 15th straight day and emergency parole powers were granted to the

state Parole Commission.

The reason: Inmates are arriving at the prisons faster than the parole commission can parole them. Since Feb. 16, 1,044 inmates have been committed to prison and only 967 have been paroled.

Sam Wilson, parole commission chairman, found the trend disturbing, but said he could reduce the population below the legal limit 17,460 - by the May 16 deadline.

ecutive Mansion for a separate meeting with the governor Wednesday as the administration launches an effort to build public support.

At a news conference, Nesbitt read poll results he said show that Americans are willing to pay higher taxes for better schools.

Some lawmakers have voiced concern about the publics reaction to two major tax increases in one year. Martin and the legislative leadership already are pushing an $8.6 billion highway construction bill that would boost the gasoline tax 5/4 cents per gallon and levy a 2 percent auto title transfer fee.

I think if the people of this state ranked priorities, they would say teaching our younguns is more important than building new roads, Nesbitt said.

Mrs. Marvin said it would be unconscionable to raise taxes for highways but not for schools. If we dont educate our people, we wont need roads because new businesses wont come here, she said.

Barnes and Mavretic said cuts in the current budget might provide revenue for teacher pay, but Nesbitt said he did not think enough could be pared from the existing budget for an adequate raise.

The NCAE plan is aimed at straightening out the tangled teacher pay schedule the mechanism by which a teachers pay is supposed to rise as he or she gains experience. It was frozen as a recession-year economy measure in 1982.

Martin recently endorsed the NCAEs position that lifting the freeze and repairing the damage it has caused must be the top priority, although he continues to push the career ladder as a means of assuring the public it will get results for its investment. The NCAE opposes the career ladder.

The NCAE plan would the avera teacher a raise of 9 to 9/2 percertt per year for three years. Afterwarcj, teachers annually would move ahead on the pay scale and receive c(t-of-living raises as authorized b^ theLegislture. ;

The salary of a beginning teache^ would rise from the current $18,330 to $20,000 by 1991-92, the third year of the program. A teacher with iD years of experience ^ould go froiti $21,315 in 1988-89 to $25,962 threp years later. A 20-year teacher would improve from $28,549 in 1988-89 tb $33,233 in 1991-92, and a teacher with 30 or more years would go from $28,894 to $42,541.

The plan would cost an additional $180 million per year. When full;^ implemented after three years, the annual cost would be $540 million.

Pittman said the plan was flawed because it lacks an accountabilityt element such as the career laddet and has no funding mechanism. ;

Its wonderful to talk about these elaborate pay schedules, but until you knpw how to pay for theni theyre meaningless, Pittman said.|

A different pay schedule plan recommended by the non-partisaii Public School Forum was introduced in the Legislature last month. J

Settlement Talks Continue

pin Louisiana College Case

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

m NEW ORLEANS - Some progress 3vas reported in an attempt to settle The first federal desegregation ^wsuit against an entire state uni-i^iersity system as the 15-year-old Sase headed back to court.

H A special master was scheduled to

speci

jpen hearings today on several proposals to integrate Louisianas 13 Smversities and six two-year col-ftges.

A three-judge panel appointed the liter ruling the state

cial master &d allowed unlawful segregation to l^rsist in the schools despite a 1981 ement intended to end racial

The consent decree was aimed at felping Southern Universitys three ^mpuses and Grambling State Uni-Mrsity attract more whites to the vaditionally black schools.

Settlement talks involving special blaster Paul Verkuil were held pmday, said the states attorn^.

Some progress was made. There MS not been total consensus in the &rm of a settlement, said John Kennedy, attorney for Gov. Buddy

rmer. And as a practical mat-even if everyone agreed on werything, we couldnt get it all (bawn up and written out in time to 9op the hearings.

The state, the Justice Department,

have proposals before Verkuil.

To sp^ up the hearings, he has taken an unusual step, using witnesses pretrial statements as their testimony and jumping directly from Kennedys opening statement into cross-examining state witnesses.

Attorneys were being allowed to question each of the 32 state witnesses, After that, each must defend its own alternative to the state plan.

The state supports three university systems, each with its own governing board and controlled by the Louisiana Board of Regents.

Grambling, as one of the nine schools run% the Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities, is backing the states desegregation plan.

But its alumni association, like Southern, objects to what it sees as moves that would eliminate traditionally black schools and deprive * underprivileged blaeks of the help they need to adapt to college life and courses.

Those include one of the keystones of the states plan: consolidating the

three boards and the board of regents into one superboard.

The states plan also calls for a statewide community college system, which Southern and the Grambling alumni contend would keep many blacks from ever making it into a four-year university.

The Justice Department, Southern and Grambling alumni plans depend heavily on moving programs from predominantly white schools to schools that are predominantly black an arrangement Kennedy said has failed in other states that have tried it.

Southern also wants an order reinstating terms set out in a 1981 consent decree aimed at fully integrating the black schools by improving them. Southerns attorneys contend that it would have worked had the black schools gotten everything the state promised.

Louisiana State University and the Shreveport and New Orleans campuses of the LSU systen^i remain predominantly white, while Southerns campuses in those cities remain mostly black.

Antihistamines Aid Ulcer Patients

When we mention antihistamines, people may think of the ingredients in many nonfnescrip-tion cold medicines. Antihistamines are included for their "drying" effect A special class of prescription-only antihistamines has proven to be useful in the treaunent of peptic ulcers. These special antihistamines, referred to as "H-2 receptor antagonists," are used alone or in connection ivith other ulcer medicines such as medicines which neutralize acid (the antacids).

Peptic ulcers are open sores or lesions that form in the lining or wall of the stomach or small intestines. "Peptic" means that the ulcer is associated with pepsin, a digestive enzyme which works along with hydrochlonc acid to help digest many of the foods weeaL

. Cimetidine and rantUUne were the first H-2 antagonists available to treat peptic ulcers. Both of these antihistamines have chemical structures diat are similar to histamine. These and newer H-2 antagonist medicines such as famotidine compete with histamine at H-2 receptor sites in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing die output of hydrochloric acid and, indirecdy pepsin. Ulcer healing may require up to three months of therapy with these special antihistamines. 4*

Adminstration Appeals To Congress Not To Override Bush Strike Action

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner appealed to Congress today not to force President Bush to create a panel that would temporarily end the Eastern Airlines strike.

It is far superior to allow the economic realities of the dispute to dictate the outcome, Skinner said in testimony prepared for the House Public Works Committees aviation subcommittee.

The subcommittee is considering a bill that would direct Bush to set up an emergency panel to study issues in the strike. Bush could veto the measure, but Congress has the power to override his disapproval.

If enacted, the bill would stop the strike for at least 60 days while the panel investigates issues on both sides. Bush refused to take that action before the 12:01 a.m. Saturday end of a federally imposed cooling-off period.

Skinner said a presidential emergency board would be wholly inappropriate.

The plain fact of the matter is that a strike at Eastern alone does not substantially disrupt this nations transportation system, he said. But Skinner said if a boycott of other airlines takes place, the administration is prepared to introduce a bill to outlaw such activities.

Skinner said the administration opposes a measure that would force an end to the strike because it believes in free enterprise and wants to ensure that U.S. industries remain as competitive as possible to maintain our place in the world.

He said the economic deregulation of transportation has reaped untold benefits.

The White House has said it might submit a bill that would ban Eastern Airlines employees from picketing other airlines.

But key Democrats said they would ask the aviation subcommit-teeto to give quick approval to legislation directing Bush to set up an emergency panel to study issues in the strike.

The creation of a panel would also compel Eastern for 60 days to continue paying salaries in effect prior to the walkout. The airline, which shut down nearly all its operations on Monday, claims it was losing $1 million a day and cannot afford to operate without $150 million in annual pay cuts.

Bush followed management urg-ings in refusing to step in. Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that as long as Easterns striking Machinists union members refrain from picketing other airlines or railways, we wouldnt find it necessary to send up the legislation barring such secondary action.

But Fitzwater said the administration is prepared to move rapidly to submit the legislation if the secondary boycott occurs.

The spokesman said Bush is receiving daily briefings on the situation and still believes the dispute can best be resolved by the company and the union in negotiations rather than through government intervention.

But Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., sugg^ted that the emergency panel legislation he and committee chairman Rep. Glenn Anderson, D-Calif., drew up might give cover to the administration for the^action Bush refused to take.

Oberstar, aviation subcommittee chairman, did not contend tht the strike had reached emergency proportions. But he called it part of a long-term problem with broa<j implications for the airline industry.

If not an emergency, this is a matter of great public interest, he said.

Skinner said Monday that the private labor dispute should be allowed to follow its normal course' without boycotts of other companies.'

Both sides need to get this issue resolved and get on with the business of this country and serving its customers, Skinner said.

The secretary said he called the heads of other major airlines and asked them to help passengers affected by Eastern cancellations.

Airport Authority. We wont have a handle on this until mid-day, he said about any possible disruption.

John Braden, spokesman at Atlantas Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, said the extra space empty by lack of Eastern flights means more room to maneuver if a slowdown makes that necessary.

Federal Aviation Administration inspectors have been monitoring Eastern closely and have found no safety lapses, said Anthony Broderick, FAA associate director. He said the agency was prepared to deal with the pilotsaction. '

On Monday, Eastern asked a federal judge in Miami to order its pilots to cross Machinist union picket lines. A hearing was scheduled today.'

Eastern canceled almost all flights Monday, although some Northeast shuttle flights left despite a snowstorm in the New York Citv

area. Pan Am Corp. doubled its rival hourly shuttle service to take advantage of Easterns troubles.

Matell said the 5,000 to 6,000 idled non-union employees were notified immediately of their no-work status and would receive lump-sum payments from $270 to $640, depending on their wages. They include ticket and reservations agents, clerical workers, customer service workers and some managers.

The layoffs leave Eastern with about 7,000 active workers, down from 31,200 before the strike.

I just cant believe that they got away with this, said a weeping Diana Goss, a 24-year-old ticket agent at Miami International Airport.

My father went to work for Eastern in 1949, the year I was born, said gate agent Steve Moss in Atlanta. This company has raised me from a child. And all I can say is that now Im ashamed about what

lined space on the page for students to write the final copies of their compositions.

Wahl-Coates and Chicod were the sixth-grade leaders in percentages of students scoring at or above the 2.5 level at 78.6 percent and 74.3 percent, respectively. Schools with the lower percentages were Wellcome Middle at 31.8, Ayden Middle at 36, Grifton at 36.1 and G.R. Whitfield at 37.3.

For the eighth grade, Farmville Middle led in the percentages of students scoring at or above the 2.5 level with 79,2 percent. It was followed by Bethel Elementary at 73.8 percent, Chicod Elementary at 72.7 percent, A.G. Cox at 68.9 percent and Wellcome Middle at 68.7 percent. Schools with the lower percentages were Grifton Elementary at 27.5 percent and Ayden Middle at 44.1 percent.

Improvements made by students in the county may be attributed to good teachers and to the sharing of information by teachers. Whitley said.

Board member Frank Grooms expressed concern with the range in the scores from school to school. Theres obvious a great deal of difference between schools, he said.

Superintendent Eddie West Minted out how several principals lad adopted management plans that put emphasis on improving the writing skills of their students.

But Grooms said, It cant be left \ up to individual initiative to deal

with those issues.

Ross said individual reports of the students scores will be shared with parents and conferences will be provided upon request. Schools are evaluating their scores to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and are developing strategies based on their evaluations.

The board requested that a longitudinal study of students scores be developed.

Through the Basic Education Program, standards have been set on the writing assessment to accredit school systems based on student performance. The standards require that when averaged for the two most recent years, the number of the sixth- and eighth-grade students achieving a score of 2.5 or better on the test must exceed 30 percent of the students tested locally.

This year, 50.8 percent of the county students in grade six scored at or above 2.5, compared to 45 percent in the region an(i 49.9 percent in the state. About 60,5 percent of the county students in grade eight scored at or above 2.5, compred to 53 percent in the region an(f 55 percent in the state.

In the comparison of two years, 49.2 percent of county students in grade six scored above 2.5, compared to 45.2 percent in the region and 48.7 percent in the state. About 63 percent of county students in grade eight scored above 2.5, compared with 56.6 percent in the region and 60.6 in the state.

make our visits comfortable.

She said that since the family is not staying in Richmond and have to drive more than three hours one way on their frequent visits, 'they are lenient as can be in letting us see Bill when his -condj^tion at the tirrie allows visitation. Ve still have to wear masks and ca It yet touch Bill, which makes for a? heck of a situation in trying to communicate. But we manage. Sometimes its downright comical.

Mrs. Johnston raises kennel-registered collies. And one situation she wishes she could have avoided was the arrival at home of a big crop of collie puppies at the same time Bill had his operation. If Id had any idea that Bills transplant opration would have come at the time it was, I most certainly woiild not have had the mama collies bred when I did.

Its probably a good thing having them to take care of to keep my mind off what might happn with Bill, but believe me, the arrival of 36 of the little fellows butting in at this time has been a real hassle. And that has been complicated by the cold weather and the extra problems that raised.

Anyway, she said, I can count lots of blessings. My children, my in-laws, grandchildren and friends have all pitched in to help. The grandchildren do seem put out that grandmama hasnt found time lately to cook them a big country meal. I just tell them, honey, do like I do, get by on toast and a cup of coffee.

All in all, Mrs. Johnston said, the doctors have told us that if the fourth biopsy looks good, it wont be long before they can remove Bill from the critical list. And if no other problems arise, we can look forward ,to bringing Bill home again before too long. In the meantime all we can do is hope and pray and stay busy.

northern areas more attractive. A new school would spur this growth. Stokes has several services to offer for the new school, Congleton said. It is centralized within the North Pitt attendance area and a new school could accommodate students living in Colonial Trailer Park, Brookhaven and Tipton Estates.

The old high school site is located on N.C. 903, which is scheduled to be upgraded, he said. The county already owns 7.9 acres of land on the site and the existing buildings on the property.

In addition, Stokes can provide the emergency personnel, water services and other needs the school would require, Congleton said.

Some of th(Ke laid off joined striking pastern Machinists on picket lines.

Matell said Eastern would file for bankruptcy only as a last resort but indicated the pilots walkout may force the airline to consider the option.

The pilots are conducting their own economic strike against the company, Matell said. We believe that it is an illegal weapon to gain (the Air Line Pilots Associations) economic objectives.

Were not the ones who sought the strike, said John J. Bavis, head of the Eastern Air Line Pilots Association local. This is a strike that Mr. Lorenzo called.

He was referring to Frank Lorenzo, chairman of Easterns parent Texas Air Corp., whose anti-union reputation has galvanized Easterns unionized employees.

Easterns 5,900 flight attendants also have honored the Machinists strike.

Before the strike, Miami-based Eastern claimed losses of more than $1 billion during the last decade, and $1 million daily. It also said it had $2.5 billion in debts stemming from its acquisition by Texas Air Corp. in 1986.

Diversity Is A U.S. Strength

A tour group from Germany recently visited our country and-couldnt understand what all the .hoopla was about over America. The ,Jood was greasy, Las Vegas noisy, ^the Grand Canyon overrated and Disneyland overpriced.

Isnt it amazing that people can come to our country from all over the world and miss seeing the No. 1 I attraction: us! Were what they should be capturing on film, buying tickets and standing in line to see.

, Youd think theyd question how a ^diversity of language, food, background, politics, ideology, dress, economic level, religion, morality and opinion could survive in a single country. And how, when you add to that diversity the freedom to speak, act, protest and challenge, there would be anyone left standing here.

At Wits End

Erma Bombeck

Youd think theyd wonder how the fourth largest area in the world could suddenly turn into a small town when a child gets caught in a well or three whales get trapped in ice off the coast of Alaska.

There is a uniqueness in this countrys people that is best described by the story of a visitor to hell who saw thousands of people sitting around, each holding 3-foot chopsticks and trying without success to eat the food in front of them. They were starving to death.

When the visitor entered heaven, he saw thousands of happy, well-fed

people. They, too, had 3-foot chopsticks, but they had figured out that in order to get at the food, they had to hold the chopsticks and feed one another.

I visited the Soviet Union a while back and noted their curiosity was high on how Americans filled all the gaps left by our government. The word volunteerism did not translate. I tried compassion. I told them it was the common ground that transcended differences and brought us all together as one.

The German tourists and the Soviets should have known about two friends of mine, one from the North, the othr a Southerner. One is a Democrat who is a high-profile career woman, the other a Republican stay-at-home mother. One marched in Washington for the right of choice. The other marched in

Washington to reverse the Roe vs. Wade decision

When I learned that one of these friends was to have a breast removed because of cancer, I called the other friend, who had had the same surgery. She called her immediately to encourage her to enlighten, to listen, to cry with her.

The two women still have not met each other. They are both well and may face off as adversaries somewhere down the line. But during a week in January 1989, they were simply two women hanging onto each other for strength.

That is our uniqueness, knowing when to differ and knowing when to stand together.

During A Personal Crisis Develop A Plan Of Action

By John Y. Powell

When we believe that we are in Control of our lives, the loss of a job, the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, the death of a loved one, a divorce, or some other crisis-producing event can quickly thrust us into a ^tate of dependency and terrify us jvith the sense of losing control.

Usually, with the support of others, our personal religious faith, jmd our self-motivation to succeed, ^e can weathe; the rough times and keep our lives on course.

There are times, however, when ibur usual problem-solving methods Ipre not enough. When this happens, yve sink into a state of crisis feeling bewildered, overwhelmed and ilefeated.

; I teach East Carolina University tudents a course entitled Crisis In-ervention. For an early session, hey are required to write about an IJndividual or family crisis. Some omments from my students can ijielp us to understand how crisis events can affect them and their families.

* When Daddys company j-eorganized and he was laid off, it was like going from day to night. I iaw him change from a confident person to feeling worthless. I feared he might commit suicide.

And, I found out I was pregnant. What was I going to do? i,My Boyfriend said, Get an abortion! But I felt like this is murder! The event turned my life upside down.

Or, Mother was the anchor in our femily. Suddenly, without warning, She had a stroke and died. Daddy 4nd all of us were thrown into a teilspin.

We have come to realize that

along with the bewilderment and the panic that accompany a personal crisis comes an opportunity for emotional growth and personal maturity. This truth has long been recognized by the Chinese people. Their characters for the word crisis translate into English as meaning both dangerous and opportunity.

When we become unable to cope effectively with stress and unfortunate events, we increasingly tend to become ever more anxious. Sometimes we flail about hoping for an answer. If we sink into a crisis state, we become immobilized and overwhelmed. Two uncomfortable feelings usually accompany crisis: a sense of losing control of our lives and a sense of guilt that we have somehow caused the crisis.

We can often find opportunities for growth through crisis in three ways: through support from others; by gaining a realistic perception of the crisis event, and by learning new ways to cope with the difficulties of life.

I give my students the following advice about dealing with personal crisis. Seek support and counsel from a person who has good judgement and can be trusted. Honestly tell this person your fears and personal feelings. Also be open with your spouse, children and loved ones. A crisis becomes a family concern and all members can lend support and help find ways of coping.

Do not be embarrassed to seek professional counseling. Your minister or a mental health counselor can be of help. Sometimes the assistance of an impartial trained counselor can be invaluable. It is a

sign of courage and strength to seek help. *

Do not let your perception of the drisis-producing event get out of perspective. When upset, we often see events as hopeless, and our perception is usually distorted. Trusted friends and professional counselors can help analyze what has happened and help us to look realistically at choices and options.

We tend to lose our self-identity and self-confidence in a crisis. People often feel emotionally paralyzed. To move out of a crisis successfully, we must develop a realistic plan of action.

A true state of crisis is so emotionally painful that one cannot remain in that state lon"; either a solution or a non-solution will result.

Some people unfortunately withdraw from life and never regain their zest for living. One friend rebounded from being fired by opening his own business and guiding it into a model enterprise.

You dont know who you are until you pick yourself up off the floor, he said. I now appreciate and value the important things in life - my family and friends, and I am able to

Births

Roberts

Born to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Junior Roberts, 717-B Hooker Road, a son, Corey Donte, on Feb. 19,1989, in Pitt County Memorial Hospital.

Divorced Father Isnt A Homebody

Dear Abby: When my husband and I divorced last year, I allowed him to have custody of our (then)

15-year-old son, Jason, because I honestly thought it would be better for our son. My ex was a physician, a homebody, and could golf with Jason and provide him with all the necessities.

Now, six months later, I find that Dad goes out nightly with his ladyfriend, leaving our son home alone with written instructions on how to prepare a meal, and without any kind of supervision whatsoever.

I stayed there one night and waited until 3 a.m. for Dad to get home. Thats when I confronted him and obtained his promise, under threat of a custody fight,, that he would straighten out and be a better father.

Well, I dont think hes straightened out. The mother of one of Jasons friends told me that the two boys had gone to a party where all the kids drank and smoked. I know that Jason is not into that kind of behavior; he just wants to be accepted, so its easy for him to go along with the crowd, especially when theres no parental supervision, which a boy that age needs.

If I interfere, Im afraid Ill be accused of sour grapes. Jason is a quiet, sensitive boy who never complains, but he seems so sad all the time.

If I complain (legally), In^raid the court would say that |P^w)

16-year-old boy can take care of himself.

Dear Abby

Abigail Van Buren

Please print this.Perhaps some other mother has had this problem and knows how to solve it. Or maybe Jasons father will see it in writing and see the light. - Miffed In South Carolina

Dear Miffed: Phone your lawyer. Your son is considered a minor until he is 18 years old. and until that time he should be with the parient who can give him the proper attention, supervision and companionship.

Dear Abby: My wife and I are both well-educated, but we grew up with different lifestyles. Her household included full-lime help; my mother did all the housework, and we kids did the dishes.

We were always required to clean our plates and were told^ it was a sin to waste food. My wife was brought up to believe that it was considered bad manners to eat everything on the plate,imd to this day she insists that it^bad manners to do so.

Any comment? Mr. Clean Plate

Dear Mr, Clean Plate: It s bad manners to mop up every drop of gravy with a piece of bread, but to deliberately leave edible food on ones plate for appearances sake is both wasteful and foolish.

reach out to others with a sense of compassion and understanding that I never had before.

It has been said that life ultimately breaks all people, but we can grow stronger in the broken places. One of my students reflecting upon a serious crisis in her family wrote, Crisis can help us realize what is really important in life, it can help strengthen our relationships and our support network with family and friends, it can deepen our compassion for others, it can teach us new ways to cope with difficulties, and most importantly, it can help strengthen us and increase our faith.

Chinese Put Tibet Under Martial Law

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING China today declared martial law in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa following three days of anti-Chinese rioting by pro-independence activists in which at least 12 people were killed.

The measure marked the first time since the Cultural Revolution that martial law has been publically announced in China.

Police slapped a temporary curfew and cleared the streets in the afternoon, threatening to shoot anyone found in the central square or in the Tibetan section nearby, an American witness said. They had hred on protesters earlier today, said foreign travelers.

The State Council, or cabinet, said martial rule would be imposed at midnight. The order was signed by Premier Li Peng, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

By early this afternoon, groups of 20 to 30 police armed with automatic weapons, shields and sticks had begun taking positions throughout the Tibetan part of Lhasa, telling all people to get off the streets, an American witness said.

All the Tibetans just disappeared, everybody just evaporated, said the American who was given shelter in a Tibetan house. All demonstrating stopped.

By early evening, Tibetans had ransacked a Chinese-owned store and started a bonfire on the citys main street.

The Xinhua report said the martial law decision was taken because some separatists have been constantly causing disturbances in the city over the past few days. The ni^itly news said Lhasa city government has been authorized to take

any measures necessary to restore order.

Chinese authorities say 12 people were killed and more than 100 injured Sunday and Monday in clashes between police and Tibetans demanding an end to Chinese rule over the mountainous and remote southe^region.

There were no reports of casualties today.

Western travelers today quoted Tibetans as saying as many as 75 people died and 300 were wounded. There was no independent confirmation.

Martial law was never imposed during previous outbreaks of proindependenceviolence in Lhasa over the past 18 months. Police armed with tear gas, guns and machine guns had been charged with subduing the violence.

It was last publically imposed during the ultra-leftist Cultural Revolution from 1966-76, when bands of Red Guards fought armed battles on the .streets of dozens of Chinese cities.

Chinese police today fired on Tibetans for a third day in Lhasa and pro-independence activists carried Tibets banned snow lion flag around the citys center and lit bonfires oLChinese-owned goods, the touristssaid.

Tibetans stoned Chinese civilians who ventured into the Tibetan section of town. One American tourist said he saw a Chinese man running up the citys main street, Beijing Road, bleeding from his face and neck.

A Japanese tourist quoted one wounded Tibetan as saying hospitals were only treating Chinese, leaving injured Tibetans to fend for themselves.'

NICOSIA, Cyprus Iran severed diplomatic relations with Britain today and accused London of anti-Islamic treachery for refusing to denounce Salman Rushdies novel "The Satanic Verses.

Irans parliament had given Britain one week to lift Britains diplomatic embargo and clarify its stance on the book many Moslems consider blasphemous.

London blamed Tehran for the break. It comes after Britain withdrew all its diplomats from Iran to protest Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeinis Feb. 14 religious edict calling on Moslems to kill Rushdie for insulting Islam.

The present situation is entirely of Irans making, said a Foreign Office statement. Incitement to murder is a violation of the most elementary principles and obligations that govern relations between sovereign states.

Iran did not formally communicate to Britain its decision to end relations, the statement said.

Relatives of Britons believed held hostage by pro-Iranian radicals in Lebanon said they are saddened and dismayed by Irans move.

Hostages families all around the world will be upset that a major player in this game is now out of the arena, said John Waite, a cousin of missing Anglican envoy Terry Waite.

The official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted a Foreign Ministry statement as saying; The world oppressors and the West, which find genuine Islam against their objectives and plots, have risen against Islam, and in this an-ti-Islamic campaign the role of the British government is salient.

In the past two centuries, Britain has been in the front line of plots and treachery against Islam and Moslems.

Iranian clerics have put a bounty of $5.2 million on the head of the author, a British citizen born to a Moslem family in India. Rushdie, 41, went into hiding and is under police

guard with his wife, American novelist Marianne Wiggins.

Irans threats prompted the 11 other European Economic Community nations, and Norway, Sweden and Canada to recall their ambassadors from Iran.

A radical Palestinian group, the pro-Syrian Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command led by Ahmed Jibril, has said it will kill Rushdie.

In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Charles Redman condemned the Palestinian' threat.

This terrorist group is based in Damascus and therefore ... we call on Syria to take appropriate action, Redman said.

In Vienna, British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe indicated to reporters he wants the Soviet Union

to take a stronger stand and influence Iran to rescind the death threat.

Howe said he and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze discussed the Rushdie affair in private talks Monday in Vienna.

He told Shevardnadze there can be no justification for (Irans) incitement to murder -... and no justification for seeking to impair the freedom of speech in a country like ours, Howe said.

The Soviets have said Western countries are justified in their indignation. They have not condoned the decree, but said Khomeini may have had to act under Islamic teachings.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said Saturday she believes the novel has deeply offended Moslems.

North. Trial Delayed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Prosecutors in the Iran-Contra trial of Oliver North are outlining his links with a conservative activist convicted of illegal fund-raising for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels.

But the case lost a round to the weather today as snow and freezing rain here forced a suspension in the trial along with other proceedings in U.S. District Court.

Carl Spitz Channell testified Monday about how he set up a foundation that was used to solicit tax-exempt contributions for the guerrillas fighting the leftist government of Nicaragua.

Channell was convicted in April 1987 of conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service by illegally using the tax-exempt foundation to support Contra military activities. One of the 12 criminal charges against North, a White House aide at the time, is that he helped in the fund-raising effort.

Channell said that in 1985 he suc

ceeded in getting two letters from Contra leader Adolfo Calero authorizing him to be a fund-raiser.

Channells group, the National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty, used White House briefings and private meetings with President Reagan to persuade private contributors to make donations. It raised more than $10 million.

Channell said one contributor, John Ramsey, wrote out a $20,000 check to the Nicaraguan Development Council at a meeting in a Washington hotel where the Contras military needs were discussed. Asked earlier to contribute money to a dinner for Nicaraguan refugees, Ramsey had said forget it, saying they should be given rifles instead, Channell testified.

Masons Danny Deane, Kevin McNamara, Steve Moran anticipate the Patriots CAA title

Nestor Is Not Surprised By Masons CAA Victory

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAMPTON, Va. - To hear George Mason coach Ernie Nestor sum it up, it was a given all along that the Patriots would make the 64-team NCAA tournament field.

Im not surprised at all, really, Nestor said Monday night after the Patriots won the Colonial Athletic Association tournament by beating North Carolina-Wilmington 78-72 in overtime.

The title meant George Mason, which went into the tournament as the second seed, got the CAAs automatic entry to the NCAA tourney. It will be the Patriots first appearance in the affair.

I figured wed be here. Hell, Im surprised we lost 10 games, to tell you the truth, said Nestor, whose team improved to 20-10. im really disappointed we lost 10 games.

North Carolina-Wilmington coach Robert McPherson, whose fourth-seeded Seahawks closed at 16-14, echoed Nestors sentiments.

I thought all along Mason had the best basketball team in the league, said McPherson, whose Seahawks reached the title game by virtue of their semifinal victory over Richmond, the defending champion and this years top seed.

The NCAA berth is a measure of redemption to George Mason, which won 20 games a year ago but did not get picked for either the NCAA event or the National Invitiation Tournament.

I think were good enough to play, and now were going to get our shot and see how it works out, said George Mason senior forward Kenny Sanders, who had 19 points and 19 rebounds Monday night and was named the tournaments most valuable player.

After eight lead changes and eight ties, the Patriots broke open the contest with 3-point goals by Mike Hargett and Chuck Broadnax on consecutive possessions to go up 70-66 with 2:11 left in overtime.

They were gigantic plays, Nestor said.

The closest the Seahawks could

get the rest of the way was 72-69 on a 3-{winter by Brannon Lancaster with 33 seconds to go.

The Patriots sealed the victory at the line, making six of seven free throws in the final 31 seconds to put the finishing touches on their 17-11 scoring advantage in the extra period.

Larry Houzer, who led North Carolina-Wilmington with 29 points,, forced the overtime with a 10-foot baseline jumper that tied the score at 61 with nine seconds remaining.

Sanders missed a 20-footer at the buzzer.

Nestor, the Patriots first-year coach, said he wasnt concerned that his team was unable to finish off the Seahawks in regulation.

We dont necessarily play a great 40 minutes or a great 45 minutes, but these guys make the big plays when the games on the line, he said. We find a way, and thats what its all about.

Hargett finished with 15 points, and George Mason also got 14 from Steve Smith and 13 each

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Coach Dennis Erickson says his first team at the University of Miami will have a lofty goal; winning the national championship.

That objective reflects the standard set by Ericksons predecessor, Jimmy Johnson, who led the Hurricanes to a 34-2 record the past three seasons.

Were here to continue the success, Erickson said Monday shortly after he arrived in Miami.

Jimmy Johnson has done a great job, obviously. Weve got to keep that going.

Erickson turned around programs at Washington State, where he coached the past two seasons, and at Idaho. He faces a different sort of challenge at Miami.

This is a program where you maintain, and you dont turn it around, Erickson said.

Wed better not lose over two games, he joked. I get just as much of an ulcer when were 6-5 as when were 9-3.1 took the job knowing exactly what the situation was and what the expectations are.

Athletic Director Sam Jankovich chose Erickson for the job even though top Miami assistant Gary Stevens was the popular choice for the job among the players and fans.

Transition is very difficult, said Erickson, who has a 50-31-1 career record in seven years at three schools. Youve got to earn respect from the community and the players. That doesnt happen overnight.

All we can do is coach as well as we can coach and do the same things as weve been doing for the past 20 years, and hope we can earn respect.

While introducing Erickson at the news conference, Jankovich said he rejected Stevens because he wanted someone with experience as a head coach. Jankovich called the 41-year-old Erickson a proven head football coach and a very talented human being.

Stevens on Monday was named quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, which means three holdovers from Johnsons Hurricanes staff remain. Erickson planned to interview them today; he brought six assistants with him from Washington State.

Erickson also planned to meet to

day TvitO quarterback Steve Walsh, who has yet to decide whether to ' turn pro or return for his senior seakn. Erickson said there are good reasons for Walsh to stay at Miami.

Steves going to throw the football and gain a lot of yards throwing the football in our system, Erickson said. Its going to be a good year for him. Plus I believe going out a year early can cost you * money.

The coach met his new team Monday, and both sides said the session was genial.

He said hes not going to come in here and start turning things over, offensive guard Mike Sullivan said. He just wants to keep v/inning. ... We dont want to go head-to-head with anybody. We just want to get things underway.

Erickson said spring practice.

originally scheduled to begin last Saturday, will start March 22.

I believe that after spring practice, youll see a lot closeness develop between the players and the coaches, he said. But that takes time.

Erickson called Miamis program the best in the nation, but he said the decision to leave Washington State was difficult because he had been there only two years. When Jankovich phoned the day after Johnsons departure, Erickson said he wasnt interested in the job. He changed his mind the next day.

I made that initial decision on emotion, Erickson said. When I thought about it, I decided it was something I had to pursue.... There was no question this was the best move for Dennis Erickson.

Pirates Rally To Top Stags, 10-5

Reliever John White Holds Fairfield While East Carolina Rallies

^ Pitt n runt tiss ^ to

By Woody Peele

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

East Carolinas John White came out of the bull pen with his teammates in trouble Monday afternoon at Harrington Field and put out Fairfields fire to help the Pirates come from behind and take a 10-5 win.

White hurled seven and a third innings of two-hit scoreless baseball to lift ECU to its seventh win against no losses on the young season.

It was also the third loss in a row for the Stags.

White came on in relief of David Willis, who had started and gotten into trouble in the second. Fairfield had scored four runs at the time. White gave up a double to the first batter he faced, driving in the fifth Fairfield run, but after that he was near perfect. He gave up only one more hit the rest of the afternoon another double, and walked three while striking out six.

The story of the game was Whites relief pitching, ECU coach Gary Overton said. He gave up only two hits and did a remarkable job of keeping us in the game.

The best part was that we did the

things that were necessary to win, Overton added. We came back piece by piece rather than trying to do it all at once. We played good solid fundamental baseball to do so. We got off to a shaky start, just like we did (Sunday). Maybe this will put us on the right track.

Fairfield picked up five hits on the game four of them coming in the second inning when they did all their damage. East Carolina picked up 10, including two home runs and four doubles as they banged around three Fairfield pitchers.

Both teams played good defense. East Carolina committed one error, by freshman third baseman John Gast - who later made up for that

with some outstanding plays. At one point, he either made the out or assisted on four straight plays and six out of seven in a row.

Fairfield had three errors, two of them on one play, but also pulled off three double plays although one of them was more the fault of East Carolinas pbor baserunning.

That came in the first inning when John Adams was caught off first base on a pop fly to short right field.

Fairfields Rob Banasiak led off the second inning with a ball to left that just got over the top of the glove of the leaping Adams for a home run. John Mitchell followed with a

walk and Joe Greiner doubled down the left field line. Fran Maurais grounded out, scoring Mitchell and with two away, Dan Buchanan reached on an error, scoring Greiner. Buchanan stole second and

scored on Matt McLaughlins single to left.

That brought on White, who gave up a run-scoring double to Mike

Blaylock Could Have Avoided Arrest

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma guard Mookie Blaylock could have avoided his arrest on public intoxication had he not rekindled an argument with a female companion outside a convenience store, police say.

Blaylock, one of 10 finalists for The Associated Press college basketball player of the year, was arrested early Sunday morning. Athletic department officials said a decision on Blaylocks status could be made today.

Norman police said Monday they initially had agreed to let Blaylock leave the store with another person driving him home. But the officer changed his mind when the argument between Blaylock and Cathy Patterson resurfaced outside the store, said Lt. Leonard Judy.

If he had just done what he had said he was going to do and got a ride home with this other gentleman, he would have b^n all right, Judy said. IBut when it seems to be the only remedy for what seems like it is going to be a continuing problem, we have very little choice but to go ahead and make an arrest.

Ms. Patterson, 24, of Arlington, Texas, told Oklahoma City television station KWTV Monday night that neither she nor Blaylock was drunk, and that she felt partly responsible for the argument.

Things of this nature happen in everyday life, Ms. Patterson said. Unfortunately, I didnt take into account all of the possibilities. I wasnt thinking about the fact that I was dealing with a person whose not only on-court activities is viewed very closely, but his personal life is under very close scrutiny.

City Attorney Jeff Raley said Blaylock has five days to come to municipal court to set an appearance date. That date, at which Blaylock would enter a plea, could be from four to six weeks from now because of a backlog in the court system, he said.

Raley said public intoxication carries a penalty of a fine of between $20 and $100. Blaylock and Ms. Patterson were released after posting bond.

Oklahoma, ranked No. 2 in the nation, is the top seed in the Big Eight Conference tournament, which begins Friday in Kansas City, Mo.

Blaylock, Oklahomas second leading scorer, is averaging 21 points a game. He has 208 assists and 117 steals, making him the only player in NCAA history to record 200 assists and 100 steals in conseuctive seasons.

Though Oklahomas football program has been plagued recently by scandal with the arrests of five players on criminal charges, Blaylocks arrest is the first recent incident involving a basketball player.

Whats wrong with this picture?

This is the biggest win since Ive been at Penn State - no question, Coach Bruce Parkhill said after the Nittany Lions beat 13th-ranked West Virginia 86-64 Monday night.

Whats wrong is that Penn State is used to beating West Virginia fairly regularly in football. And this not only was basketball, bift the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament. And Penn State has never been known as a basketball school.

Nevertheless, the victory put the Nittany Lions in the conference final for the first time. They will play Thursday night against Rutgers,

which outlasted Temple 62-59 in overtime.

In other Monday night action, four more teams won conference tournaments and automatic bids to the 64-team NCAA tournament La Salle in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, Loyola Marymount in the West Coast Athletic Conference, South Alabama in the Sun Belt Conference and George Mason in the Colonial Athletic Association.

Junior center Ed Fogell scored a career-high 28 points as Penn State upset West Virginia. Fogell made eight of 10 field goal attempts and 12 of 14 free throws as the Nittahy Lions beat the Mountaineers for only the third time in the last 18 meetings.

Scholarships Key Bucs To Title Win

This year, the Bucaneers won the tournament.

We didnt progress at all. We didnt have any opportunity to, Robinson said. Once we got some scholarships ... we made good use of them.

There was no better use of the talent Robinson had assembled than in the championship game against Marshall, which the Buccaneers won 96-73. The victory gives them a spot in the NCAA tournament.

East Tennessee State challenged Marshall inside and won the battle, then complimented it with a fast tempo to get an edge. Then, there

was Keith Jennings, who scored all of his 16 points in the second half to open a big lead.

A brief Marshall run closed the gap in the final three minutes, but the Buccaneers closed with an 18-5 spurt to seal the game.

I think fatigue got them, Jennings said. They stayed with us until we started running and once we started running, there was nothing they could do.

The victory gave coach Robinson his first league title after 17 years of Southern Conference coaching, including 13 at The Citadel, whom his Buccaneers beat to reach in the first round en route to the championship.

I thought they had the resources to do it, and would give us the opportunity, and it came true, Robinson said.

Jennings said the plan was to keep Marshalls John Taft on the run on defense. Taft, the leagues player of the year, finished the tournament with a record 109 points, including 36 against the Buccaneers,

Pirates...

Svab to left, giving the Stags a 5-0 lead.

But the Pirates fought back, starting in the third inning. Chris Cauble led Off with a single to center and David Ritchie got a hit to right. John Thomas beat out a bunt down the first base line to load the bases. Adams grounded to first, scoring Cauble, but forcing Thomas at second. Ritchie then scored on a wild pitch, making it 5-2.

A third Pirate run came over in the fourth. Gast was hit by a pitch, moved up when Steve Godin reached on an error and Mike Andrews grounded into a force out. He scored on Caubles sacrifice fly to center.

The Pirates then struck for four runs in the fifth to charge ahead, 7-5. Adams got it going with a home run to right. Tommy Eason followed with a double to left and Calvin Brown brought him home with the tying run on a double up the alley in right center. Gast followed with a third-straight double to left, scoring Brown with the go-ahead run. Godin reached on a double error and Mike Andrews sacrifice fly scored Gast.

Three more crossed in the eighth. Godin singled, stole up and was sacrificed to third. With two away, Ritchie walked and Thomas followed with a three-run homer to left.

Thomas and Cauble led the Pirate hitting with two each, while Greiner had two for Fairfield.

East Carolina is scheduled to play at Duke today. A Wednesday makeup game in Greenville against North Carolina has been postponed again and will be rescheduled at a later date this season.

Penn State led 39-30 at halftime and stretched it to 78-55 with 5:12 remaining. In the first nine minutes of the second half the Nittany Lions made eight of 12 shots and outre-bounded the Mountaineers 8-0.

Coaches have been telling me to get more confidence. This is the best game Ive ever played, said Fogell, who grew up 35 miles from Philadelphia, site of the semifinals.

All year weve found a way to win but tonight we seemed to be a step behind, West Virginia coach Gale Catlett said. Whatever we tried didnt work. They were in the passing lanes all the time and they ran tremendous fast breaks. (It was) one of the first times this year we didnt get back on defense.

Craig Carter scored 16 points for Rutgers and Tom Savage and Rick Dadika each had 14 as the Scarlet Knights posted their seventh consecutive victory. Mark Macon scored 19 points and Mike Vreeswyk 18 for Temple.

Savages 3-point shot gave Rutgers a 54-51 lead with 3:25 left in overtime. After two free throws by Rutgers Emory Ward, Temples Duane Causwell cut the lead to 56-53 with 2:02 left.

Mike Kilgore made one of two free throws but Carter made a pair with 27 seconds left to boost Rutgers lead to 58-54. Macon brought Temple within 58-56 with 18 seconds left but Carter again hit two free throws he actually missed the first half of a one-and-one but Temple was called for a lane violation for a 60-56 lead with 12 seconds remaining.

Its just wonderful for us. Were on a roll, Rutgers coach Bob Wenzel said.

Temples John Chaney didnt think it was so great. He blasted the officials for calling the lane violation on Carters missed free throw.

Reprimand me. Fine me. Theres not an official in this land that should get involved in the game in the last second of it, Chaney said. MAAC

Lionel Simmons scored 29 points and Doug Overton matched his career high with 22 and led a decisive run late in the first half as La Salle earned its second straight NCAA bid by defeating St. Peters 71-58. The victory was the fifth straight and 18th in the last 20 games for La Salle.

St. Peters stayed close for 15 minutes but Overton scored eight points in a 10-0 run and La Salle led at halftime 34-22. The Explorers built a 13-point lead early in the second half.

Willie Haynes led St. Peters with 22 points.

Coach Speedy Morris has been saying all year that theres more to La Salle than Simmons and Overton proved him right.

Hes got 240 assists and he scores 13 points a game, Morris said. Its the best combination you can have - a point guard who can score. WCAC

Junior guard Jeff Fryer scored eight of Loyola Marymounts 10 points in a 75-70 overtime victory against Santa Clara. It was the second straight year Loyola won the title and an NCAA bid by defeating Santa Clara.

Fryer, with 11 first-half points and none in the second half, hit two consecutive baskets in overtime, including a 3-pqinter that gave Loyola a 70-67 lead with 2:52 remaining.

Tournament MVP Hank Gathers, the nations leading scorer and rebounder, led in scoring with 30 points and rebounding with 16. Fryer

finished with 19. Jeffty Connelly led Santa Clarawith 23. Sun Belt

Gabriel Estaba scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and top-seeded South Alabama used a 28-0 run to crush Jacksonville 105-59. South Alabama won its first conference tournament and handed Jacksonville its worst defeat ever.

' With 3:20 left in the firsU half, South Alabama held a 38-22 lead when it went on the 28-0 streak, with Estaba and Hodge doing most of the danfage. Hodge, the conference Player of the Year, scored 66 points in three games and was named the tournaments most valuable player CAA

Mike Hargett and Chuck Broadnax each hit a 3-pointer in overtime to help George Mason to its first appearance in the NCAA tournament with a 78-72 victory over North Carolina-Wilmington. Hargetts 3-pointer put the Patriots ahead to stay 67-64 with 3:01 left. Broadnaxs 3-pointer made it 70-66 with 2:11 left.

Larry Houzer led George Mason with 29 points. George Masons Kenny Sanders had 19 points and 19 rebounds and was named the tournament MVP.

In the first round of the Association of Mid-Continent Universities tournament, it was Eastern Illinois 81, Western Illinois 47; II-linois-Chicago 90, Northern Iowa 69; Valparaiso 53, Wisconsin-Green Bay 51.

from Broadnax and Robert Dykes.

Antonio Howard, with 23 points, was the only other Seahawk in double figures.

North Carolina-Wilmington, which went into the contest needing to win just one game to reach the 500-victory mark in its 38-year basketball history, also was bidding for its first trip to the NCAA tournament.

This loss hurts, McPherson said, but its like I told them a while ago, the suns still going to shine tomorrow.

Sanders was joined on the all-toumament team by Dykes, Howard, Houzer, East Carolinas Blue Edwards and Richmonds Ken Atkinson.

Maryland Women Win ACC Title

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAYETTEVILLE - Marylands defensive effort gave the Terrapins the edge as they defeated North Carolina State to take their eighth Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 12 years, both coaches agreed.

Maryland coach Chris Weller said Subrena Rivers defensive effort made the difference as fifth-rank^ Maryland downed the No. 4 Wolfpack 73-57 Monday.

Subrena did a real good job, Weller said. She was critical in terms of matching up in speed and strength.

Tonight I dont think offensively, we played real well and thats a credit to N.C. State. They got us out of sync offensively.

N.C. State coach Kay Yow agreed that defense was the key. The Terrapins held Andrea Stinson to five of 13 field goals for a season-low 10 points.

They did a great job on Andrea Stinson, Yow said. If she doesnt get into the flow of the game early or her shots arent falling, she sometimes has the tendency to take herself out of the game. She gets down when the team and herself arent clicking.

Marylands offensive spark came from tournament most valuable player Vicky Bullett, who scored 30 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This time, Rick Mahom was fine not fined.

Rick Mahom set season highs with 19 points and 19 rebounds and Isiah Thomas scored 15 of his 20 points in the final 7:12 Monday night to lead the Detroit Pistons over the Denver Nuggets 129-112.

The victory lifted Detroit within games of first-place Cleveland in the NBAs Central Division.

I have to play liiy same game, which is good hard basketball, said Mahom, who was fined $5,000 for flagrantly elbowing Clevelands Mark Price in the head last week, giving him $10,000 in fines this season. ^

Estaba Helps Jags Claim Sun Beit Bid

The effort gave Maryland, 26-2, an 18th straight victory.

Yow said the Wolfpacks 22 turnovers and slow start were too much to overcome.

I felt we had the right game plan, but our execution wasnt what it needed to be, Yow said. We had too many unforced turnovers early and it put us in a hole. That is something that has happened to us both times we played them.

Maryland scored the first eight points, including six by Bullett, and extended the lead to 20-8 with 9:31 left in the first half. Maryland led 36-25 at halftime.

The Wolfpacks Sharon Manning opened the second half with a field goal to cut the lead to nine |Mints but the Terrapins responded with a 12-2 run to put the game away.

Vicky Bullett was setiational tonight, Yow said. Their big players came through for them.

Deanna Tate added 20 points and Carla Holmes scored 14 points and handed out nine assists for Maryland, which claims the leagues automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.

Manning came off the bench to score 17 points for N.C. State. Andrea Stinson and Rhonda Mapp added 10 apiece for the Wolfpack, which fell to 23-6.

Bullett, Tate, Holmes, Stinson and Mapp were named to the all-tournament team. \

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE - South Alabama center Gabe Estaba was all smiles as his coach gave him the ultimate compliment.

Gabe Estaba has been the difference in our team, coach Ronnie Arrow said after the 6-foot-7 native of Venezuela scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds Monday night to lead the Jaguars to a 105-59 blowout victory over Jacksonville in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship game at the Charlotte Coliseum.

We proved last year that you can win regularly with good guards, Arrow said. But you cant win the big ones without the bigguns.

Behind Estaba, the Jaguars cajh tured their first Sun Belt tourney title by scoring 28 unanswered points during a 12-minute stretch.

South Alabama came into the tournament seeded first by virtue of their 11-3 league record and a 19-8 overall mark.

Estaba played a big role in South Alabamas emergence as the top team in the Sun Belt this year, displacing defending champion North Carolina-Charlotte, which lost in overtime in the first round to Western Kentucky.

Gabe played tonight like he was possessed, Arrow said. He was a terror on the boards and when he got the ball inside he put it away.

AH season, the South Alabama guard tandem of Jeff Jelly Hodge and Junie Peanut Butter Lewis got most of the attention and for good reason.

Hodge was the leagues player of the year after averaging nearly 22

points a game. Lewis averaged nearly 18 a game and grabbed nearly seven rebounds from his backcourt position.

Meanwhile, Estaba, a 23-year-old junior college transfer who is married and has a 1-year-old daughter, consistently put together solid games foi* the Jaguars.

With him in the lineup. South Alabama improved to 22-8 overall this year after going 15-14 in Arrows first season behind the bench.

Estaba, who is a junior but has not yet been ruled eligible to play next year, averaged 15.9 points and nearly nine rebounds a game in his first year at South Alabama.

He nearly doubled his average Monday night scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the first half.

Estaba established himself early and we werent able to contain him, said Jacksonville coach Rich Haddad.

We struggled tonight, and when you struggle against a team like South Alabama, youll get hammered like we did tonight, he said. We couldnt control Estaba in the middle and when we tried to contain him, they went back out to the wings and just chewed us up.

E^ba was asked what he was thinking before playing a surprising Jacksonville team that came into the tourney seeded sixth and beat Virginia Commonwealth and Western Kentucky to advance to the title game.

Just play hard, he said.

Whatever it was, keep thinking it, Arrow interjected.

Ive played a lot of minutes and Im feeling good. It felt good to get all those minutes (43) and have a good game.

Elsewhere, Phoenix beat Philadelphia 110-106 and Dallas beat New Jersey 105-99.

The Pistons won their fourth straight and eighth in nine games while handing Denver its eight straight road loss. Detroit led almost the entire game, taking a 103-94 lead on Mahorns basket with 8:41 to play.

Denver cut it to 103-99 but Thomas dominated the rest of the game. He sank a 3-pointer, then hit three straight jurnp shots to give the Pistons a 112-99 lead.

After Dennis Rodman scored on a pass from Thomas, Denver snapped a scoreless streak of 3:35 when Walter Davis hit a 3-point basket. Thomas retaliated with three more short jumpers to spark a 13-7 run.

Joe Dumars-led seven Pistons in double figures with 25 points. Alex English topped Denver with 27.

Mahorn had an .outstanding rebounding game, Coach Chuck Daly said. He is playing as well as he has all year. Isiah was sensational down the stretch. It was a gutty win for us since we got back from Miami late (after Sundays 109-100 victory).

Suns 110,76ers 106

Tom Chambers banked in a short jump shot with 1:49 to go to break a 101-101 tie as Phoenix won for the 10th time in 27 road games and handed Philadelphia its third straight loss.

Chambers and Jeff Hornacek led

the Suns with 21 points apiece. Charles Barkley paced the Sixers with 31.

Its nice to have a close one and make the big plays at the end, Chambers said. We were able to make the baskets in the end, and (Dan) Majerle made big defensive plays on (Carles Barkley. We were able to make things go our way tonight.

Anytime you can get a road win, its tough in this league, Hornacek said. Weve been stuck on nine for awhile.

Mavericks 105, Nets 99

Derek Harper, scored 13 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, Adrian Dantley added 20 points in his debut as a starter and James Donaldson had 20 points and 22 rebounds. Roy Hinson led the Nets with 23 points and 14 rebounds.

New Jersey trailed 81-71 entering the final period and never got closer than five. The Mavericks surged to a 58-39 lead in the second period.

Donaldson was dominant after a six-game layoff with a groin pull, tying his career bests of 17 defensive rebounds and 22 total rebounds.

I got pretty fatigued in the fourth quarter, Donaldson said. But I tried to keep pushing. Its all hard work being active, tipping thei ball.

Dantley isnt comfortable yet aftCT seven games with the Mavericks since coming over in a trade with Detroit for Mark Aguirre.

Im still real hesitant, he said. Im still thinking instead of reacting. Im not feeling the same way I did in Detroit. Its going to take a while.

Spring Baseball Can Be Boring Too

By Scott Ostler

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Too much, it occurs to me, is written about the idyllic charm and optimism of spring training.

But just in case Im wrong. I have come to idyllically charming and optimistic Arizona to knock around the Cactus League. Spring training is Mother Natures wake-up call to perica, and this is the ^st place in America to get the sap a.k.a. baseball prose flowing.

I decide to stop first at Scottsdale, because the San Francisco Giants train here and it is the most boring camp in baseball. You don't want to jump into a hornets nest of controversy and dissension on the first day of duty.

This is no knock at the Giants, a team with a couple of genuine stars and so-so pennant potential. Its just that all of the teams positions are locked up, and there are no scandals, feuds or lawsuits currently in progress.

Also, the Giants ballpark is a tru

ly idyllic and optimistic setting, the kind of place that will get you in the right frame of mind for spring training. Scottsdale Stadium, like most of the Cactus League parks, is a mom-and-pop type ballpark, run by a local civic organization.

This particular park is run by the Charros, who are not affiliated'with Charo, ihe Latin bombshell, although they probably wouldnt mind.

Out on the infield. Giants coach Wendell Kim. a 5-foot-5 Hawaiian, is hitting infield to the B team. If infield chatter is dead in the big leagues, somebody forgot to tell Kim, who chatters away like an auctioneer.

Eddie-Eddie, come on over, come babe, attaboy Mattv-Matty, come Matty...

Kims enthusiasm, if not his chatter, is understandable. After eight seasons playing in the minor leagues, and eight more seasons managing in the minors. Kim has finally made it to the big leagues.

Without even knowing the guy. Im happy for him. Ah. spring training.

Down the left field line. A. Bartlett Giamatti. baseballs commissioner-

NCAA Bid Watch Just Beginning

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -^ The wait has started. Five days before any news of what is to come can come.

The St. Peters Peacocks could have decided their own postseason fate by beating La Salle Monday night in the championship game of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

A victory would have meant the leagues automatic berth in the 64-* team NCAA field. The 71-58 loss to the Explorers instead meant St. Peters could start the clock on the annual tournament bid watch.

Im extremely confident and counting on us getting a bid to keep on playing, Peacocks coach Ted Fiore said outside a subdued locker-room. Ill give them a couple of days off, come back for practice on Thursday and Friday, give them Saturday off and then wait and see what happens.

St. Peters had a horrible waiting period last season. A 20-9 record got the Peacocks nothing. Not even a bid from the 32-team National Invitation Tournament.

' This year could and should be different.

For the first time in six seasons, St. Peters had advanced past the semifinal round of the MAAC tour-fcament. The record this season is ^2-8.

I Dont forget we were 3-and-4 at

Se point, Fiore said. That means and-4 since then and the losses Vere to Seton Hall, La Salle and two to Iona. There arent any slouches there.

Still, a victory over La Salle could have made the next few days the best in quite a while at the Jersey City campus. The school never has received an NCAA bid and the small but vocal support group in the crowd of 3,125 at the Meadowlands Arena was ready to cut down nets and party on home down the New Jersey iWnpike.

This will be a normal week. Ill continue to practice and do the things that wi 1 continue to keep me a top player, said Willie Haynes, the Peacocks leading scorer Monday night with 22 points and the schools all-time scoring leader. You can never be sure when you put things in other peoples hands.

Its always best to control your own destiny.

Even though we lost tonight, we still controlled our destiny with a good record of 22-and-8 and I think that is very respectable for the program that we have and Im just hoping somebody else out there thinks thats respectable.

One of the knocks against St. Peters has been its schedule, a point disputed by most people connected with the school.

We have tried to play every Big East team except Georgetown. We have called everyone in the ACC and SEC. Well play a home-and-home with anyone, but teams dont want that. They want us to go to their place with their refs. We dont need that, said athletic director Bill Stein, a former assistant to John Thompson at Georgetown and one of his assistants with the 1988 Olympic team. Weve let everyone involved with the selection process, know what we have done and we will make all those calls this week and hope they realize what we have accomplished.

Last year, you could almost explain to me our not being picked for either tournament, said Fiore, 63-25 in his three seasons with the Peacocks. I dont see it this year, though. Maybe Im a dreamer but no one embarrassed us except Seton Hall. I think well keep playing and the NCAA would be great, but Im 90 percent certain were at least going to the NIT and well keep playing.

Center Phil Morrison, along with Haynes and Kenny Parker the only seniors on the team, said the loss was too recent to think about the days ahead. Then he did, anyway.

We were hoping to win this game so we didnt have to go through all that again, he said. I dont like having to rely on other people voting for us. I wanted that automatic bid. Twenty wins is kind of on the border line. I know they go by teams we played and their records. I know there was only a 50-50 chance wed make it last year and I just really didnt want to go through all this again.

Its just started, Phil, and it wont be over until Sunday.

to-be, is signing autographs, looking each fan in the eye and asking his or her name. And hes signing for free, by the way. Bart thats how he signs is wearing a -pair of Reeboks.

If Peter Ueberroth was a cross between Gen. Patton and Lee lacocca, Giamatti has more of a Mr. Rogers-Santa Claus style. It might be possible to dislike the guy, but youre going to have to work at it.

Based on recent news involving friends of Steve Garvey and Wade Boggs, Giamattis first official directive should be to have ice-water showers installed in all clubhouses. A magazine article has just hit the stands, the steamy, sleazy confessions of Boggs former road buddy, Margo Adams.

The article doesnt seem to have caused much of a stir in this camp.

Its nothing different than happens in everyday society. says Will Clark, the Giants future Hall of Fame first baseman. People think because were baseball players, we should be different. We re not.

Absolutely. Theyre just regular guys who. like the rest of us. get

paid by the wheelbarrow and have legions of crazed groupies coming at us like human cannonballs.

Most of the players, apparently, havent read the article. Theyve heard about it, and it sounds to them like routine stuff, everyday gossip.

Besides, they dont come to spring training to do heavy reading, unless you count menus. The two* main topics of conversation in any spring baseball camp are: ai'lasfmights dinner, and b) tonights dinner.

If Margo Adams wants to catch the literary attention of baseball players, shell have to write'a steamy, sleazy restaurant review column.

Speaking of genial people, theres Roger Craig, the Giants folksy, humm-baby manager himself. The man with the year-round spring training spirit.

Everybody likes Roger. He actually lives in a log cabin, you know, which would be an even more interesting biographical tidbit had he been born in the White House.

Sitting at the desk in his office, Craig grabs a sandwich and faces three reporters.

Let me get a mouthful before you ask me a question, he says.

Somehow, that reminds me of Tom Lasorda and it occurs to me that this ballpark is infested with former Los Angeles Dodgers. Along with Craig, I have run into Giants announcer Ron Fairly, new San Diego Padres announcer Rick Monday. and new Seattle Mariners Manager Jim Pennant Lefebvre, who brought his B team in for^a game. Craigs coaching staff includes former Dodgers Bob Lillis, Norm Sherry and Dusty Baker.

Baker has been promoted from first base coach to hitting coach. Baseball hitting coaches tend to be wispy, professorial types who were career .187 hitters. Somehow it makes perfect sense for your hitting coach to be a guy who looks like an athlete and who, as a Dodger, was known as Dr. Scald.

The promotion is a big one for Baker, who has aspirations of becoming a big league manager.

The days game is about to start and Baker heads down the tiny tunnel leading from the tiny clubhouse to the tiny dugout. The tunnel is

almost too tiny to accommodate the ballplayers and coaches. The tunnel is so tiny, I expect to see prisoners escaping through it.

The stands are tiny, too. Even though the field is regulation size, I expect the players to run out and start playing catch with teensy gloves and baseballs.

I dont stick around to find out. My legwork is done. The games are meaningless and Ive got to get back to the hotel and set up to write before all the poolside tables are taken.

I have given up trying to convince friends and acquaintences that covering spring training is hard work, even though it is. Sometimes it takes a half-hour to get a pitcher of lemonade poolside, and choosing the proper sun screen filter is a constant challenge.

I dont even know where my next meal is coming from. Will it be the Pink Pony or the American Cafe?

Tomorrow: Another stop along the Cactus League trail, where, incidentally, you see real cactus, the kind that in the shadows of sunset look like a referee signaling a touchdown.

Camacho Earns Split Decision

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. Hector Camacho parried and retreated with the poise of a matador while Ray Mancini charged like a bull, but it was the toreadors victory as Camacho spoiled Mancinis return to the ring with a 12-round split decision.

I could have stood there slugging, but I beat him to the punch, Camacho said after Mondays victory. I sharpshooted him and he didnt sharpshoot me.

Mancini was clearly stunned by the defeat despite his four-year ring layoff.

In my heart, I won that fight. I went out and I performed like I wanted to, he said.

Mancini said he would take a vacation and talk with his family before he decides whether to continue his boxing career.

It wasnt pretty by any means, he said. I just had to get the fight done. Ive been out of the ring for a longtime.

Camacho did much of his scoring with a busy left jab that puffed the corner of Mancinis left eye in the first round and opened small cuts beside both eyes in the late rounds.

Mancini was the lunging aggressor, but many of his punches missed or glanced off the mobile Camacho. Both fighters appeared tired towardthe end of the fight, but despite absorbing some powerful blows, Camacho was unmarked.

I lost my concentration, but did not lose my composure after one brief Mancini body attack, Camacho said.

Attired in gold lame trunks and matching shoes, Camacho showed signs of the flashiness that once carried him to the super featherweight i

and lightweight titles.

But referee ^Mills Lane had to break up numerous clinches, most of them initiated by Camacho.

Thats the smartest way you can fight any fight with a puncher, Camacho said. I thought I was way ahead. I was keeping control of the fight and I was never hurt.

Judges Doug Tucker of Carson Ci^ ty, Nev., and Chuck Giampi of Las Vegas both had Camacho a 115-113 winner, while judge Keith MacDonald of Carson City had Mancini winning 116-112.

The Associated Press had Camacho ahead 116-112.

The decision infuriated the pro-Mancini sellout crowd of 11,519 which booed loudly for several minutes after the fight and threw drinks, empty cups and coins into^ the ring.

Neither fighter was hurt during

the 140-pound bout and there were no knockdowns.

He fought a good fight, said Camacho, who ran his record to 35-0. I thought it wasnt going to go more than two or three rounds. Obviously, I was wrong about Mancinis condition.

, Mancini was rusty early as he pursued Camacho around the ring. He could not connect with any consistency and seemed frustrated at his inability to catch Camacho.

It just got to the point where I was getting sloppy and raggedy in there, Mancini said.

He managed to come on in the middle rounds, however, and landed a good right hand in the eighth that had the crowd chanting, Boom Boom, Boom Boom.

Im a winner because I got through it, Mancini said.

Baker WUl Visit Moscow For Talks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA, Austria Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze agreed today that Baker would visit Moscow in May and discuss there the possibility of a superpower summit meeting.

Baker also told Shevardnadze ttiat the Bush administration would complete its review of its strategic nuclear arms policy next month and afterward a date might be set for the resumption of negotiations to slash missile arsenals.

I am pleased with this meeting, Shevardnadze told reporters outside |he residence of U.S. Ambassador to Austria Henry Grunwald. I believe I. that there will be good cooperation between us. Maybe this is the most important conclusion.

But Baker, speaking after Shevardnadze, also stressed some sharp differences between the two sides.

He objected specifically to the Soviets proposal to try to curb NATO and Warsaw Pact battlefield nuclear missiles in new arms control negotiations that opened here last

Thursday and on a Soviet drive to hold a Mideast peace conference.

The situation cries out for some hard work on the ground, Baker said in explaining why he did not think the time was right to try to get Israel and the Arabs together at ttie table.

We should be very careful that we dont pre-empt what could be more promising opportunities down the line, he said,

On the combat aircraft issue, Baker noted the mandate for the arms talks specifically exclude battlefield nuclear weapons and naval forces, which Shevardnadze said Monday would have to be the subject of negotiations in the future.

Baker also said he took issue with what he called recent Soviet 30sturing on Iran. He declined, lowever, to specify what his objections were to Soviet policy toward Iran, where Shevardnadze recently paid a visit.

The two men met for 67 minutes alone with their interpreters. Their delegations then joined them for a further hour in what Baker termed a very positive atmosphere.

Faulty System Holds Up Discovery Launch

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -NASA hopes to hold the latest space shuttle Discovery launch delay to no more than two days, but wont set a new date until Wednesday, after a new electronic part has been checked.

The liftoff, which had been set for Saturday after three earlier postponements, now will occur no earlier than 8:08 a.m. EST March 13.

The latest setback occurred Monday when a prelaunch test disclosed the failure of a Master Events Controller, a vital system that commands separation of the booster rockets and the external fuel tank from the shuttle in flight.

Engineers replaced the failed unit with one botrowed from sister ship Columbia and were to test it on the launch pad this afternoon. The testing was delayed so that explosive devices throughout the spaceship could be disarmed to avoid an accidental firing.

The explosives are fired in flight to separate such things as the spacecraft from the launch pad and the booster rockets and external fuel tank form the spaceship.

Officials were worried that any extended delay could affect the launch period for the high-priority Atlantis mission that is to propel the Magellan probe out of Earth orbit toward Venus.

Beirut Car Bomb Kills 2 Women

Opening lead: Six of 0 After a considerable absence, Trump Coup Tommy was once

again becoming a fixture at the club. Nothing had changed over the yearshe was still making the most inept errors on simple hands but, when trumps failed to break, he was transformed into a master of the pasteboards.

The people who played in his game were already showing a healthy profit, despite occasional hands such as this. Tommy was not sure what his partners bid of five spades meantactually,, it was a general slam invitation and, by implication since North did not make a cue-bid, it showed frst-round control of all side-suits. However, the last time Tommy had refused an invitation was two days before Pearl Harbor, so six spades, for him, was automatic. We agree with his bid, for once.

Since the diamond lead could be a singleton. Tommy took the trick with dummys ace and made the key

play of leading a trump to the ace. North groaned when East showed out, but to Tommy it was a blessing. He became a man possessed.

He crossed to the ace of clubs and ruffed a club, then cashed the king and queen of hearts. A trump to the jack provided the entry to dummy to cash the ace and jack of hearts as West followed helplessly.

By now Tommy had raked in nine tricks, and he still had the K Q 6 of trumps in hand. When a club ruff

with his six stood up, he claimed two more tricks with his trumps to reel in a well-played slam. !

Danko performs during a concert last month on live public radio in West Virginia

iBass Player Rick Danko Still Active Despite Bands Demise

By Kelly P. Kissel

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -Hick Dankos life has been a musical carnival since The Band played its last waltz at San Franciscos Winterland in 1976. And the bass player wants all to know that hes alive and well and has no intention of quitting the business.

_ Danko took the low road after the group known loosely as Bob Dylans backup band, and sometimes called by a myriad of other names Levon and the Hawks, the Crackers and the Canadian Squires - decided that 16 years on the road was enough. They retired as a group. But not as individuals.

The last 10 years Ive been documenting my shows every night that I play, said Danko, who recently appeared with ex-Band kjeyboardist Garth Hudson on

Danko, who lives in Woodstock, N.Y. where The Bands legendary house and recording studio. Big Pink, was located has concentrated on raising three children ages 18 through 21 and playing snail clubs.

Musics been good to me. Hopefully, Ive been good to it, Danko said in an interview before leaving for Charleston. I felt good about it yesterday. Ill likely feel good about it tomorrow. It beats working.

Danko and Hudson, who have played together several times over the past few months, have not had as high a visibility as Robertson, The Bands guitarist, and Helm, the groups drummer. Danko also has performed with Helm and Robertson over the years. He also sang on Robertsons eponymous LP.

Robertson released his first solo album last year and had a hit. Helm has carved out a career iu films, appearing in such movies as Coal

The Band had a brief reunion tour two years ago; it was cut short by pianist Richard Manuels suicide. Danko said not to rule out another reunion attempt despite differences between Helm and Robertson, both of whom viewed themselves as the groups leader.

Never say never, Danko said. I didnt speak to Robbie for while, but it wasnt because of a conflict. We just never ran into one another.

The Band began as rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins backup crew in the early 1960s and eventually got the name the Hawks from touring with him. Hawkins moved to^ Canada with his drummer. Helm, where rockabilly was just beginning. But his band soon took flight with its own distinctive style: a blend of Motown, folk, rock and countrv.

They caught the eye of the folk singer John Hammond who brought the group to New Yorks Greenwich Village where Dylan started playing with them. The Hawks, witnout Helm, toured with Dylan in 1965-66 with Mickey Jones on drums. When they returned, they rented a house in upstate New York, got Helm to come up from the South and wrote some songs. They collaborated with Dylan on Tears of Rage, but saved some tunes for their classic first LP, Music From Big Pink.

They later recorded such albums as The Band and Stage Fright, and such songs as The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, The Weight, Up On Cripple Creek and Life Is a Carnival.

When the Band decided to retire, they did so with a splash. Their final concert on Thanksgiving Day in 1976 at Winterland, called The Last Waltz, featured appearances by Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Dr. John, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters and Emmylou Harris and others connected with the Bands career. It resulted in a documentary directed by Martin Scorcese and a legendary live album of the same name.

The Band will be installed in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame on March 12. Aside from the Arkansas-born Helm, the others were natives of Canada.

Its a pretty big deal with the Canadians, Danko said.

Guests will include Jill Eikenberry, Christine Lahti, Sherry Lansing, Ann Jillian, Valerie Harper, Malcolm Forbes, Debbie Allen, Sandy Duncan, Michael Tucker, Fred Dryer, Geraldo Rivera and Kitty Kelley, among others.

Were putting all kinds of p^ple together, not just show-business celebrities, to see what kind of a mix works best, she said. Men and women, all women, me with all men. Well tape it at my home in Beverly Hills, two shows a day. Well serve real meals, so I guess Ill put on 10 pounds.

Ill participate in the conversations, but 1 wont ask questions. This is not going to be a one-on-one. Were hoping we can spark some conversations and that people will react to each other. We know it works as a special but we wanted to see if the concept will work every day.

Its the first TV appearance Barrett has made, other than a stint on CNN as a substitute host on Larry

RONABARRETT

King Live, since she'left Entertainment Tonight in 1986. She had also been an entertainment reporter for NBCs Today and Tomorrow shows and before that for ABCs Good Morning America.

She said At Ronas was first tried as a special for Entertainment This Week. Her guests were Oprah Winfrey, Dyan Cannon and Mariette Hartley.

The guests for the show will come from entertainment, sports, politics and business.

Well start when the people arrive and we serve coffee, she said. Well say hello and get acquainted. Like any interview, it takes time for

Students Give OK To Sponsored News

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The controversy over beaming a commercially sponsored television news show for teen-agers into classrooms doesnt seem to bother the students and teachers who watched Channel Onesjdebut at Central High School.

The students said they liked the idea of seeing the news, something a few of them conceded they dont watch enough of at home, and enjoyed the features, such as a look at the life of Soviet teens.

Teacher Mary Simpsons only complaint was ttmt the show was a litte fast, although the pace didnt seem to bother her students.

She said those complaining about the commercials are mistaken. We cant get something for nothing, she said.

The first show in a test run of the project included paid pitches for Levis 501 jeans. Snickers candy bars and Head & Shoulders shampoo. The program premiered in five high schools Monday.

The presence of paid advertising on the show has enraged some education groups, who say Big Business should be barred from making sales pitches to students in the classroom.

Whittle Communications LP, the Knoxville-based media concern that produced the program, plans to sell up to two minutes of commercial time on each 12-minute show to pay for the hardware it is giving schools to show it.

Ad time already has been sold on the remaining 24 shows in the test for products such as breath mints, acne medications, snack chips, and cosmetics.

Procter & Gamble Co. has bought time in four product categories to see if the program is a viable vehicle for reaching teen-agers, while helping schools provide a topical educational program, said Sydney McHugh, a company spokeswoman.

Cen&al High students said the ads did not bother them.

Its fine with me, said Shelley Bible, a 14-year-old freshman. You get more pressure from other students than you do from the commercials.

Toi McCane, a 17-year-old senior, said the commercial are just the same thing you get on the news at night.

The show also made its debut Monday at Mumford High School in Detroit; Gahr High School in Cerritos, Calif.; Eisenhower Middle School in Kansas City, Kan.; and Billerica Memorial High School near Boston.

The sixth test site, Withrow High School in Cincinnati, was closed by bad weather Monday, but was expected to join the test today.

Whittle Communications has ywrs of experience in producing ad-filled magazines and posters aimed at the student market. But this is the companys first venture into television.

Groups such as the National Parent-Teacher Association and the National Association of Secondary

urn has a much stronger impact than any other, said Tari Marshal, a spokeswoman for the National PTA.

But Whittle chairman Christopher Whittle said that schools could simply not afford the equipment and the level of programming that he is pro-. viding.

The six test schools each were given about $50,000 in television monitors, video recording equipment and a satellite dish to receive the daily news show. They will keep the gear no matter how the test goes.

If the test proves si|tcessful, Whittle hopes to expand it nationally to as many as 8,000 schools in the fall of 1990.

In exchange for the equipment, which may be used for other purposes, the schools agree to run the news show each school day.

The first show started off with some flashy graphics, and then two young anchors read news headlines.

The news coverage included segments On Sen. John Towers troubled nomination as defense secretary, the Eastern Airlines strike and threats against author Salman Rushdie, as well as a piece on Uie controversy over the new show. An anti-drug ad was run as a public srvice.

people to warm up. Well tape the whole thing and then edit it.

Well try different mixes, and we want to see if you can do two shows a day and stiU be fresh. I want to mix people from different backgrounds and see how that works. Say a person like Malcolm Forbes and a very interesting person from show business or politics and a very savvy woman.

Barrett said she had encountered some difficulties putting the show together. ^

Youd think it would be easy to get people to come to your hoi^ for dinner, she said. Its not easy convincing p^Ie its new and not just another interview. My h<^ is that if it works we can Bring different people ''and points of view together.

Since leaving Entertainment Tonight Barrett said she has been working on original novels for television under contract to NBC.

I went to Brandon Tartikoff at NBC with an idea called Rona Barretts Untold Stories, she said. Four days earlier NBC had just bought Dave Bells idea for Unsolved Mysteries. Then Brandon suggested that I write original novels for television.

Barrett said she did not write them as novels but as treatments for movies, which are detailed outlines. Besides being made into movies, however, they could be published as novels.

She said she has three novels in various stages of development. "Dvo are thrillers and one is a mystery. She has also sold NBC a dramatic series with a commitment for a two-hour pilot.

Id more or less given up my other career, she said. Except for substituting for Larry King. Then this came along.

Barrett said the protagonists in all of her projects are women. I find I have a running theme in journalism and in telling stories, she said. Its a different way of telling the truth. My interest is in seeing whats really there. My thrillers are about ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations that become world events. My examination is, how does this happen?
