2 The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, October 31, 1985 j J By AN J ETTA McQUEEN Stotl Wnter o DUDdDGD his Phoenix editor Hunter Rome announced resignation to the Media Board this week. Kome said he was leaving because he was tired and leared fatigue might cause the quality of his work on the paper to decline. He said he also wanted to spend more time reporting for the Chapel Hill Newspaper. "Working on the Phoenix is amazingly time and energy consuming," he said. "There are added responsibilities when you are editor. Kome, whose editorship ends the third week in November, said he would remain on the Phoenix staff. Zanna Worsham, business manager of the Phoenix, said that she was suprised by Rome's decision, but that she did not think it was premature. Cathy Cowan, a Phoenix staff writer, said she could understand Rome's resignation. The editorship is difficult because of the time commitment, she said. "Alternate papers tend to attract people who work on and off," she said. "So basically, you have four or five people putting out the paper with the editor bearing most of the burden." Rome said he did what he intended put the Phoenix back on its feet. "Financially, the Phoenix is in better shape than it has ever, been," he said. "WeVe used less than half of our money, due to efforts and time spent on the paper. " ; , Rome also noted some changes in the Phoenix's editorial policies. He said the writing was now a more modified magazine journalism style. "The Phoenix no Profess? siy v5ei iresowces By JILL GERBER Staff Writer The Soviet Union is facing a conflict between its aspirations to remain a global power and its diminishing ability to maintain this power, said Professor Tsuyoshi Hasegawa during his speech, "The Evolution of the Soviet Military Doctrine," to about 50 people in Hamilton Hall Tuesday. Hasegawa's speech was the first in a series of four to be sponsored by the UNC Russian and East European Area Studies Curriculum in the next two weeks. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev and his followers are well aware that their resources are diminishing, said Hasegawa, a faculty member of the Slavic Research Center at Japan's Hokkaido University. Gorbachev is calling for rapid reforms of Soviet policy, similar to those that Joseph Stalin had intro duced, designed to preserve the nation' power, Hasegawa said. "Gorbachev says if we don't carry out these reforms, we might lose everything by the end of the century," he said. "His tone is more reminiscent of Stalin's famous speech in 1931." Gorbachev has said that the Soviet Union will not seek military superiority over the United States, adopting the doctrine of Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet leader from 1977 to 1982, Hasegawa said. v Former leader Nikita S. Rrushchev, in contrast, advocated arms buildup to acquire an advantage over the United States, he said. "It is well-recognized that the military doctrine embraced by Rrushchev was to seek military superiority," he said. The U.S. military policy was based on mutual destruction in the 1970s but changed to one of military superiority in 1979. President Reagan is now challenging Gorbachev by implement ing the Strategic Defense Initiative, or "Star Wars," Hasegawa said. "To the Gorbachev regime, SDI poses the most serious danger," he said. "It would drain Soviet resources to be involved." The Soviet government criticizes the United States for being on the military offensive, Hasegawa said. "They never fail to add that the Soviet Union will not allow the United States to achieve this superiority," he said. Hasegawa named personnel change in high command, relations between the military and the economy and a newly emerging doctrine as the three problems facing the Soviet military. The military is high on Gorbachev's agenda of items to reform, reflecting the tension between the military and Communist Party leaders, Hasegawa said. Party leadership was weakened under deceased leader Rostanin U. Cher nenko, who allowed the military to play longer has an editorial slant," he said. Worsham said she was pleased with Rome's performance. "This paper has been totally turned around," she said. "People actually read it now." Cowan said Rome had brought a sense of order to the paper. She said the layout of the paper had improved as well as its overall quality. Media Board Chairman Maurice Deberry said Rome's resignation was a shock. "I could see that the Phoenix was doing very well." Deberry said there may be some problems finding a competent replacement for Rome. There are about six applicants for the post, she said. "I know of a few people who are interested," Rome said. "It is up to the Media Board to choose, but I'm sure whoever is appointed will be quite capable." a dominant role in the government. Gorbachev's policy is to restore the party's power, Hasegawa said. "We have to make a distinction between military proctor in Soviet policy and military sector in Soviet policy," Hasegawa said. "In the Soviet Union, unlike the United States, the civilian's role is very great (in the military)." Hasegawa said he disagreed with some analysts that Gorbachev's reforms were directed toward economics.3 "I would not even discard the pos sibility that the Gorbachev regime would carry out some nasty expansion ist ventures if the opportunity arises," Hasegawa said. The idea of reaching superpower status through ecomonic greatness no longer appeals to the Soviets, he said. "What is left is the military," Haseg awa said. "It's the only weapon they have." NA u O Offe negotiating stand From wire reports BRUSSELS, Belgium The 13 NATO allies Wednesday endorsed U.S. arms negotiating positions in its upcoming Geneva summit meet ing with the Soviet Union and denounced the Soviets for their reported violations of previous arms control accords. After two days of talks among allied defense ministers, NATO issued a statement in which it promised to take "the most serious view" of Soviet treaty violations and pledged its "full solidarity and support" for President Reagan as he prepares to go to the Nov. 19-20 summit. ( The declaration did not, however, claim to support the American "Star Wars" research into a space-based defense system against nuclear missiles, an issue that has been a major stumbling block in - U.S. Soviet arms control negotiations. French AIDS drug criticized BETHESDA, Md. An announcement by a French medical team Tuesday that it has found a drug that can successfully battle the AIDS virus continues to draw criticism from leading American medical researchers. . The French researchers said Tues day that after testing a drug com monly used tP; prevent rejection of transplanted '.organs on six AIDS patients, they have concluded that the drug, cyclosporine, successfully news in brief can halt the growth of the AIDS virus and allow the body's immune system to rebuild itself. But American scientists questi oned the research, saying the testing was conducted for only one week on a total of six patients leaving insuf ficient evidence to make such a claim. One AIDS expert, Dr. Jean Paul Escande of Tarnier Hospital, said medical authorities regarded the drug suspiciously since it was thought that prolonged use of it may cause cancer. Sailor returns to Soviet custody WASHINGTON A Soviet sailor who twice leaped from his freighter into the Mississippi River last week was returned to Soviet custody after convincing U.S. offi cials that he wished to return to his country. A State Department statement issued Tuesday night said that Miroslav Medvid had signed a Russian-language statement affirm ing that he was not requesting asylum in the United States and had made the decision to return to the Soviet Union of his own free will. Although Medvid's statement did not explain why he jumped from the ship, the State Department said it considered the matter closed. Edlteir debates tfwtaire MoCo waste pirodldflcttocDini oni yppeir . perceinittDle off Pemocirattk Pairtty By HELENE COOPER Staff Writer North Carolina is expected to remain in the upper percentile of hazardous waste-producing states this year, although the 1984 report on hazardous waste in North Carolina showed a 21 percent decrease from the 1983 figure. The decrease is due primarily to changes in the reporting of hazardous waste by some generating plants, said Lee Mittelstadt, public information officer of the State Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch. She said this year some waste facilities stopped including water poundage as hazardous waste, only reporting the amount of real hazardous waste. ' "The last EPA (Environmental Pro tection Agency) report on hazardous waste ranked North .Carolina -as , the 1 1th largest generatori)f -hazardous . waste in this country," said Mittelstadt. "We expect to remain pretty high up there this year." Mittelstadt said North Carolina was among the country's leading hazardous waste-producing states because of the large amount of industry in the area, mainly chemicals and textiles. "We also have a fairly large population in the top 20," Mittelstadt added. "This also leads to a large amount of wastes." As has been the case in the past, Mecklenburg County generated the greatest amount of hazardous waste in the state. William Meyer, head of the State . Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch, said that 88 percent of the state's total was generated in Mecklenburg County. "One generator alone in Mecklen .;burgi County generated 87. percent, or 5 JL billion pounds," Mittelstadt, said. She also said that the plant treated its wastes on sight, so there was never a problem of five billion pounds of hazardous waste traveling down the roads of North Carolina. A total of six billion pounds of waste was handled, treated, stored or disposed in North Carolina during 1984. Most of the waste generated was reactive, such as wastes containing chemicals such as cyanide, sulfides and chlorine.

"Sometimes the people working it get hurt," he said. "You get beat up a lot, like if you jump out and a girl gets scared and she jumps and hits you accidentally." Everything in the haunted house is geared toward safety, he said. "Last year we had a girl sit down, just sit down and cry. She wouldn't move. She must have been freaked out or something." In that case, the lights were turned on, and everyone had to wait while she was led out, he said. Quinn said ' those' without 'tickets s should come early 'because ticket holders would have priority a change from last year's haunted house. Also, smoking is not allowed, and Quinn cautioned people to put jewlery, wallets and other valuable articles in a safe place while in the haunted house.

The Harvard graduate, who has been editor of the Independent for three years, said she was tired of listening to Democrats who avoided key issues and spoke rhetorically. "Look at Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.)," she said. "I have never seen a politician who generated that much energy. "When have you seen a Democrat stand up forcefully?" She said the Democrats seem to n ' s ound1 1 aperkjgetio and defensive and uishoildifeamhoxK to articulate ibettecq L --' and to thirik clearlyi - - - ! J - They have been in power so long . . . they have too much at stake at the way things are now," Fulton said. The Republican Party addresses issues such as school prayer and abortion, she said. The moral concern is obvious and, although people don't agree with ; a politician's view, they respect the politician for taking a stand on an issue, she said. The Democratic Party leaves its whole constituency confused, she said. " Either they don't know where the Democrats stand, or it's not a very strong stand." Fulton said the Democratic Party must find a way to inspire the black vote instead of taking it for granted. "Economic growth and social justice are not mutually exclusive," she said. "Getting a certain part of the commun ity's vote doesn't depend on racial and sexual discrimination." The United States is now in an extended long-term transition in polit ics, she said. The Republicans give the impression that they are for free enterprise with little government con trol, she said. Although it is evident that this is not true, Fulton said the Demo crats were doing little more than defending programs which had proven ten bftjf JittMtedTUse.rifc .isiy im i u"They, have got to try-new things . . . cutting programs isn't--the- solution either," she said. "I think it's coming pretty close now before the Democratic Party will cease to be the Democratic Party," Fulton said. She said the press as a whole was not very important in influencing the people in North Carolina. "The press don't do much more than report the rhetoric of the Democrats," Fulton said. fg SEAFOOD AND p P ; ( p CONTINENTAL p i-j LIVE MUSIC $ pees a 1 Savings of j jrr "y ' 1 I? f I V !
