LOUIS The St. Louis Cardinals, molded by Manager Whitey Herzog in his own feisty im age and driven by the persistent bats of Keith Hernandex and ' George Hendrick, ended 15 years of frustra tion Wednesday night by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 to win baseball's 79th World Series. . The Cardinals won their ninth Series and the fourth straight by a National League team with three runs in the sixth inning of the decisive seventh game, on RBI hits by Hernandez and Hendrick and the seven-hit pitching of Joaquin Andujar and Bruce Sutter. The Cards pounded 15 hits. They were ' the speed-oriented Cardinals a replica of Herzog's three American League West Divi sion champions in Kansas City, with perhaps a little less power. They were the Mississippi river boat gamblers, unafraid to risk the present for the future either in the front office or on the field. Eight of the 25 players on the World Series roster were not on the team when Herzog became manager before the 1981 season, including Andujar and catcher Darrell Porter, who was voted the Series' Most Valuable Player after going 8-for-28 with one home run, two doubles and five RBIs. Perhaps the most daring of them all was Andujar, who came back from a painful leg injury to pitch seven innings for his second victory of the Series. He was not perfect, but he had help, and he made the big pitches when it was necessary. Sutter pitched the last two innings for his second save. Sutter retired Gorman Thomas for the last out on a strikeout with the crowd shouting "Bruce, Bruce." As fireworks exploded over the stadium, Cardinal players mobbed the ace reliever at the pit cher's mound and fans poured onto the field despite the attempts of security men to hold them back. When the lights were turned on at Busch Stadium Wednesday night,' they shone on a new era of baseball in St. Louis, which had been in 12 previous World Series. And the lights shone brightly on Hernandez, whose sleeping bat awoke in Game 5 after going 0-for-16, and who finished with a .Series-high eight RBIs. : ; The J lights also shone on Hen drick, who had nine hits in the See SERIES on page 3 X - 5 1 U f v .-" i ' " i y t - 1 f ' . iff- iiiniir---1 - - -f v r - , :sj : ,a OTHJeff Neuville v Avid baseball fans tune in to the final game of the World Series . . . Granville West lounge became 'stadium' for watching Cards beat Brewers 6-3 Cobey-Andrews battle rockets; into full-scale media war By CHRISTINE MANUEL Staff Writer The battle for the 4th District Congressional seat between incumbent Rep. Ike Andrews and Bill Cobey is mounting into full-scale media war, political' observers say. ' "We're talking about substance," said Charlie Mercer, Andrews' campaign manager, "and Ike An drews has substance." Mercer added that Cobey was avoiding the real issues of the campaign which are protecting Social Security, helping students and small business, and reducing unemployment. Cobey acknowledged similarities between his cam paign and that of Sen. John East in 1980, Mercer said. East's campaign has been noted for its use of negative advertising. Although Cobey staff members said that all the ads were paid for by their campaign, Mercer said that Cobey's ads were styled after the National Congressional Club. ' "They are running what I call the Cobey Congressional Club conglomerate," Mercer said. The specific ad which concerned Mercer was a television commercial saying that Andrews voted against a balanced budget bill seven times." Five of the seven votes were sponsored by Rep. John Rousselot, R-Calif., and would have cut $64 billion from the budget, Mercer said. He added that programs that would have been cut included Social Security, Medicare, child programs and unemployment com pensation. Mercer said that Cobey's "yes" vote on that resolution "paints a picture of his position which is extreme." He added that similar bills were proposed under Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan and that none of the presidents, their cabinet members or their staffs ever endorsed the amendments. . The Andrews camp sent Cobey a letter asking him to explain his "yes" vote on the balanced budget amendment. Mercer said there had been no response. Claude Allen, secretary for Bill Cobey, said that the television ad only states that Andrews has voted numerous times against the balanced budget bill. "Andrews talks about a balanced budget, and he has had many opportunities to vote for it but hasn't," Allen said. The ad, Allen saidstressed the general idea of a balanced budget. "That's merely a political play by Mercer and the .Andrews campaign," Allen said in response to Mercer's accusations. "Ike Andrews has had ample opportunity to vote for it (a balanced budget). Nowhere does (the ad) imply that Cobey would have voted "yes" on all of them," Allen said. "Mr. Mercer is scrambling around for something to grab hold to," he added. Both the Andrews and Cobey campaigns have mounted negative media campaigns against their op ponents. ' - j Cobey's ads mostly criticize Andrews' voting record, especially his votes against a balanced budget amendment. The Cobey camp said that Andrews "talks conservative" in his district but "votes liberal" in Washington. Andrews said that the Cobey ads distort his voting record. His campaign has answered the accusations with ads that question Cobey's campaign funding. The Andrews ads assert that Cobey accepted money nqt only from the powerful National Congressional Club but also from Texas oil men. Richardson Preyer, of the UNC political science department, said that negative advertising has been damaging to the nation's political process. ' . "You can't get across much substance in 30 and 60 seconds,'' Preyer said, referring to the short com mercials aired by many candidates. Preyer added that the short commercials only reveal images and do not address the issues of the campaign. The theory of the U.S. political system is that in an election, candidates discuss the issues, he said. In 1982, Preyer was defeated for re-election to the U.S. House from the 6th district by a candidate who used a negative media campaign. Preyer gave three solutions. to the problem of negative campaigning. Great Britain and the Scan dinavian nations have completely banned paid political commercials. "But this would probably be too extreme a solution for the United States, Preyer added. The United States could also ban the 30- to 60-second commercials and require five-minute ads, Preyer said. Longer ads would address the issues and not create mere images, he added. "We could amend the Federal Communications Act and require all paid television commercials to feature the candidate himself," Preyer said. "This would block out independent committees from at tacking candidates." ' Preyer said polls have shown that voters get most of their information about a campaign from com mercials and not from the newspapers or even from television news shows. "This has tremendous impact on the political pro cess," he said. ' Preyer said he did not think the trend of negative advertising would continue. "I hope the good sense of the American people will assert itself and voters will rise up and say enough!' " Audit Board scrutinizes DTH funds controversy By CHARLES ELLMAKER Staff Writer The Student Audit Board released a report Tuesday affirming charges that The Daily Tar Heel illegally withdrew funds from the Student Activities Fund Office and placed them in a separate account. According to Student Government Treasury Laws, "all organizations receiv ing Student Government funds must deposit all revenues, regardless of source, into the SAFO account at Central Carolina Bank " Controversy arose about one month ago when CGC Finance Committee member Dan Bryson charged the DTH with withdrawing all of its advertising revenue from SAFO and depositing it in the Village Bank, thus violating the Treasury Laws. The Audit Board's opinion resolved to some extent the question of whether the DTH must keep its funds in SAFO. To determine this, the board had to decide whether the DTH received its Student Ac tivities Fees directly from the students or through the CGC. ; r ; , DTH Editor John Drescher said he essentially agreed with the Audit Board's interpretation of the Constitution. "I think the Audit Board did a fair and objective job in its preliminary study," he said Wednesday. "The Audit Board was very perceptive," Bryson said Wednesday. "They confirmed all the accusations I had made against (the DTH). "I couldn't have written the report bet ter myself," he added. Through a student referendum in 1977 to amend the Student Constitution, the DTH automatically receives 16 percent of Student Activities Fees. The .DTH can also petition for addi tional Student Activities Fees,' as long as that amount does not exceed one-third of the paper's total operating budget of the year before, according to the constitu tional amendment. Because the DTH is constitutionally funded, it was believed that the paper did not have to adhere to the Treasury Laws because it was not receiving Student Government funds. Rejeanne Caron, business manager for the DTHt said she placed the funds not received through Student Activities fees in the separate account through permission of The Daily Tar Heel Board of Directors. DTH Board of Directors Chairman Janet Hart said the measure was taken primarily because it was more convenient for the DTH to have its funds in a separate account because of its size. "Because we're such a large business, its much easier for us to operate through our own : checking account," Hart said Wednesday. . See AUDIT on page 3 senate race Wanda Hunt 'si 6th district campaign hits unemployment and education By LUCY IIOLMAN Staff Writer Wanda Hunt, democratic candidate for the 1933 General Assembly, is concerned over the economy, environment and equal rights. Hunt, campaigning for one of two seats in the 16th District, cited unemployment as the first problem needing to be solved. "The economic issue is the toughest one," she said. "If people aren't employed, they aren't going to buy furniture, textiles or new homes and these are all critical to the state economy. "We have to get the housing market back on its feet; we have to encourage small business and industry to locate in our state." One of Hunt's solutions to unemploy ment was the establishment of a computer bank with a listing of jobs in the district and their requirements. "With unemploy ment the highest it's been since the Great Depression (10.1 percent), people get frustrated," she said. "We have to help (North Carolinians) find jobs and apply for them." By bringing new industries into the area, Hunt said there must be a consideration of job opportunities for women also. "1 want to work with the governor and the Depart ment of Commerce to bring in industries which will provide jobs to women, I would also like to see more women starting new businesses." Hunt said she was concerned about en vironmental issues as well as economic ones. "We should recruit industries that will be safe for the environment," she said. "We will have to screen them because we don't want the environmental . problems we are seeing today. We need to uphold conservation, . protection and preservation of the environment." Education on all levels is an important concern of Hunt's. As a member of the Moore County School Board for two four-year terms, Hunt said that education should be the top priority for the 1983 Assembly, especially raising teachers salaries. "We must look at the state buget for teacher and state employee pay raises," she said. "After all, they are pro fessionals." To fund the pay hikes. Hunt suggested restructuring the state tax system. "I'm not an advocate of increased taxes," Hunt See HUNT on page 3 Pugh says education should be state's greatest responsibility and top priority By CHRISTINE MANUEL Staff Writer Education is the biggest responsibility and the greatest priority of state government, said Alan Pugh, a Republican candidate, for the N.C. Senate from the 16th District. In a recent interview, Pugh said he was conscious of UNCs importance to North Carolina and said he would maintain strong support for the University. "(For education) money should be allocated first and cut last," Pugh added. Pugh, a 30-year-old native of Randolph County, also expressed concern over the current multimember districts. Pugh said he favored single-member districting, saying that the current districts dilute minority voting strength. "The multimember districting has been used to block blacks from voting their percentage of the population into the legislature," Pugh said. The 16th District includes Orange, Randolph, Moore, and Chatham Counties and has two senators, Sen. Charles Vickery and Sen. Russell Walker. Pugh criticized both Walker and Vickery for voting in favor of what Pugh called an "incumbent preservation bill," which would extend the Senate terms to four years and have Senate elections in an off-year election. Pugh also said that Walker and Vickery voted for a 3-cent in crease in the gas tax although an increase was not needed. "The highway fund is not efficient and leaves room for politics to enter into the highway issue," Pugh said. Pugh cited the bid-rigging scandals as a major problem of our highway system in the past. He said that legislators needed to take the political influence out of the system. Pugh added that using the merit system would increase the efficiency of the Transporta tion Department. "We have great potential to attract industry to benefit our citizens, but we can take away our potential by increasing income taxes," Pugh said. See PUGH on page 3
