2 The Daily Tar Heel. Wednesday, February 18. 1981 "3 or 1 V. 1 n n ' r ' H i . ' . ' I i xi U W w . U U U ' LJ U U Kst U t, i . . - - - - . . 1 ,1 - ' I- Cy LATHY PITMAN Staff Wriier Bills that would add 30 cents to the price of a six-pack of beer and 10 cents to the price of a pack of cigarettes were recently introduced by North Carolina legislators as ways to raise revenue for the state's highway fund. Sen. George Marion, D-Dobson, w ho introduced the alcohol tax, said a tax on beer, wine and liquor would raise an estimated SI 15 million in fiscal year 1981-1932. The bill also would increase the tax on wine from 21 cents to 24 cents per liter. The tax on liquor would be increased to 22Vi percent of the retail price. Rep. Ruth M. Easteriing, D-Mecklenburg, who intro duced the cigarette tax, said an increase on cigarettes and liquor seemed more logical than a gasoline tax. A legislative tax expert' said the cigarette tax would bring the highway fund about $59 million a year. A revenue decrease of $342 million is anticipated for the state's highway fund because of dropping gasoline sales and gasoline tax collections. Gov. Jim Hunt has not taken a position on either bill, said Hunt's assistant press secretary, Stephanie Bass. Hunt is concerned about using general fund money for highway revenues, since the general fund is already tight, Bass said. Spokesman Brent Hackney said Hunt would probably make a recommendation in April. Although general fund monies are used for many services, highway fund taxes usually are collected only from highway users. Rep. Patricia Hunt, D-Orange, said she had no ob jection to an additional tax on alcohol, but thought there were other alternatives such as a tobacco tax. Hunt said she didn't think her constituents would have any problem with a tax on beer, wine and liquor. But she said the tax might be more objectionable for students. "I think Chapel Hill would be very much in favor of that," Hunt said of the proposed tobacco tax. "But I doubt if that bill will ever come out of commit tee," she added. . Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he was undecided. "I'm inclined to think the people I represent don't want any taxes," he said. "I would like to hear from the people of Orange and Chatham counties." He also said he was reluctant to invade the general fund for highway purposes. Sen. Charles Vickery, D-O range, said, "I would generally favor a tax on liquor or tobacco. 1 think this community would favor a tax on luxury items rather than on gasoline." - Vickery said both proposed bills were possibilities that had to be considered. People do not want any tax increases, but the money is needed by the state for the highways and to offset cuts made by the federal gov ernment, he said. "We have got to do something about our roadways," he said. A study commission appointed by Gov. Hunt has made several suggestions for raising money for the highway fund, including raising the gasoline tax by 5 cents. Commission member Edward S. Holmes said the ciga rette and liquor bills should be considered as possible alternatives. "1 have no objection to that," Holmes said. "I think it might be a good way to raise revenue." Easterling said that a cigarette tax increase and a liquor tax increase might be used together with a small increase in the gasoline tax to provide funds for the state's highways. ge denies mistrial for vsnvooa Support tho rv n Association!

Behrman, a freshman, said the associa tion was especially helpful to pre-nursing students who wanted to learn about the nursing field. The association helps with blood drives, and is involved in state nussing conventions and lobbying efforts for nursing laws, Behrman said. As a member, she said she had lobbied to make changes in the existing Nursing Practice Act. "It's going to be a change to clarify privileges, rights and duties of nurses," she said. The association also wants to eliminate a clause in the act which devalues nursing skills by allowing doctors to appoint anyone regardless of qualifications to aid him in his job, she said. Joining the association enables mem bers to be eligible for scholarships, receive additional malpractice insurance cover age and go to conventions where exhibi tors offer information about their hospitals, Behrman said. Association members are also able to enter writing contests and to testify before congressional committees on nursing. She said students who wanted to join the group should wait until the beginning of next semester so they wouldn't have to pay yearly dues for the remaining three months of this semester. "You don't have to be a member to come to the meetings, though," she said. Students who would like to join should contact association president Steve Galyon. aOOO CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) A military judge, wishing Marine Pfc. Robert Garwood "peace and happiness," Tuesday denied final defense motions asking that he declare a mistrial and overturn Garwood's conviction for col laborating with the enemy in Vietnam. During a 1 Vi-hour court session, military judge Col. R.E. Switzer turned down a defense motion that he overrule the jury's guilty verdict, saying, " It is my finding that proof of guilt was established beyond a reasonable doubt." Garwood, who spent 14 years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, was found guilty earlier this month of collaborating with his captors and assaulting a fel low POW. He faced a possible life sentence, but a jury of five Marine officers last week ordered only that he be dishonorably discharged, reduced in rank to private and forfeit pay and allowances. ' U.S. might send arms - to EI Salvador ": : WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan administration enlisted congressional leaders Tuesday in a U.S. effort to do what is necessary" to help the ruling junta of El Salvador hold off insurgents allegedly armed by the Soviet-bloc nations of Cuba, Ethiopia and Vietnam. ' Reagan's plan is likely to revolve around a boost in military aid, congressional leaders briefed by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. State Department officials said no decision has been made to request more aid. The congressional leaders predicted such a request would have bipartisan support based on "hard evidence" that leftist guerrillas seeking to overthrow El Salvador's civilian-military junta were armed with weapons smuggled in from Cuba, Ethiopia and Vietnam. Basques riot after leader's death BILBAO, Spain (AP) An estimated 300,000 angry Basques marched in strife-torn northern Spain Monday, protesting what they claim was the torture death in prison of an alleged member of the Basque separatist group ETA. Demonstrators clashed with police in San Sebastian, Pamplona and Vitoria as a general strike paralyzed Spain's three Basque provinces. Jose Ignacio Arregui Izaquirre, 30, died Friday in Madrid's Carabanchel Prison, nine days after he was arrested in a shootout with police and accused of participating in terrorist bombings that killed three security officers and a civilian in the past two years. In Pamplona, police fired smoke grenades and rubber bullets to break up a demonstration by 8,000 militants following a band of masked youths carrying an ETA banner. ETA terrorists, demanding independence for the Basque region, are blamed for 96 political killings last year. ETA is a Basque acronym standing for Basque Land and Liberty.
