2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. April 2, 1986 mmmm Oy JEANNIE FARIS Staff Writer College student activism and votes can be very important to candidates for state or national offices, and several N.C. candidates for the 1986 U.S. Senate election are keeping this in mind. Five of the 13 candidates for U.S. senate who have student support groups at UNC are: Republicans Rep. Jim Broyhill of the I Oth District and David Funder-S burk. former U.S. Ambassador to Romania; and Democrats former Gov. Terry Sanford, Mecklenburg County Commissioner Thomas L. "Fountain" Odom and former state Insurance Commissioner John Ingram. The 10 Democratic candidates and three Republican candidates are vying for the seat held by Republican Sen. John East, who is retiring. Their party nomi nations will be decided in the state primary May 6. The UNC College Republicans sponsors debates between candidates and invites speakers to campus but does not favor one Republican candidate over another, said Bill Peaslee, chairman of the College Republicans. "We remain strictly objective," he said. "We play an impartial role and whoever wins the primary, that's who well support." Student support groups for Broyhill are organized on over 20 state campuses, said Doug Haynes, press secretary for Broyhill. The UNC chapter of Students for Broyhill, with a membership of about 25, had three major projects to increase student awareness and interest in the primary elections, said Jimmy Greene, a member of the organization. At the beginning of the semester, the group conducted a mock survey of registered N.C. Repub licans on campus to determine who they would vote for, if the election were held the next day, he said. They also worked in cooperation with the Orange County Republican Party to have Broyhill speak in January at a luncheon at the Carolina Inn, Greene said. The group invited student leaders and encouraged attending students to participate in a question-and-answer session afterward. The group also plans to conduct an absentee ballot drive before the primary. Greene said this would be an important activity, because many students, busy with taking exams or going to the beach, would not vote without it. A UNC student group of about 20 members also supports Funderburk, organizer Keith Poston said. "Basically, weVe tried to identify who Funderburk is," Poston said. "The press has tried to paint Funderburk in a dark light, but we want to paint a positive image." The group particularly wants to emphasize that Funderburk is only 41 years old, he said. "He's young and really represents what (college students) want him to represent. He's more in tune to what students think." Poston said he was confident that Funderburk would win the primary because of his supporters' activities. The group has several projects underway, including plans for Funderburk to speak on campus soon, Poston said. The members have also planned to set up a table in the Pit for voter registration and to provide information about the Republican. "(These groups) are growing by the week," Pritzer said. "We get calls from other schools from people who want to know how they can help." The group members have several responsibilities, Pritzer said. On election day and the week before, they canvass on foot and phone to get people to go out and vote for Sanford. "Basically, we're trying to let people in the community know to get out for Sanford," he said. Students for Sanford have organized Tuesday's rally in the Pit in which Sanford will speak and which will give students the opportunity to ask questions.. "Sanford will tour the state," organizer James Freeman said. "This will kick off his speeches at other campuses." Most students interested in participating in the support group on campus for Odom have contacted his campaign headquarters individually, said John Siman, Odom's press secretary. The UNC organization will do advance work for Odom's speech in the Pit on April 4 and will distribute information in dormitories and on campus, Siman said. The support groups do a lot of work on their own, he added. If elected, Odom plans to establish a college cabinet consisting of 20 to 24 students from across the state, Siman said. These students would meet with Odom twice a year after his nomination to provide him with - their points of view and feedback on issues, he said. Democratic candidate Ted Kinney of Fayetteville is trying to establish his own student support groups on campuses by contacting student leaders, said David Dent, Kinney's press secretary. IfMh Proteteirt; molb .attacks Catholics, police BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Rampaging Protestant mobs attacked Roman Catholics and police in several Northern Ireland towns Tuesday following a clash in Portadown between police and hundreds of par ticipants in a banned march. Authorities reported that 49 people, including 13 policemen, were hurt in a clash between hundreds of youths and police in Portadown on Monday. Later, a Protestant mob rampaged through the center of Portadown, a town of 14,000 people located 25 miles southwest of Belfast, smashing store windows but causing no injuries. Gunshots were fired at a policeman's home and at a police station, and gasoline bombs were thrown at the homes of two Catholic counselors in Free ) ( 8:00 v ( 0ny Wednesday, April 2 Yo u can sti 1 1 get y o u r picture in the 1 986 Yackety Yack SENIOR PORTRAITS. - Back by -Special Demand for the next two weeks only April 7-April 18 ' 9 am-5.pm Csurolina- Union Call 962-3912 or just walk-in No sitting fee Group portraits are being taken till Friday only Call for appointment. YACKETir" SJ7 A tTYV? 9 Belfast, said a police official who spoke on the condition that he not be identified. In Lisburn, eight miles southwest of Belfast, police fired two shots at a car carrying masked men who were sus pected of stoning a policeman's house in nearby Lurgan. Police said two of the occupants were captured, and one of them was hospitalized with gunshot wounds in the leg. Police in Belfast said cars and buses were commandeered and set on fire in dozens of incidents across the city. Early Monday more than 3,000 people led by fiery Protestant leader Rev. Ian Paisley staged a three-hour parade past Portadown's Catholic neighborhoods in defiance of a ban by the British government. "I will defy any .government ban refusing me the right to walk in any Protestant town," Paisley declared. Another 2,000 gathered later in the day to defy the prohibition on marches, and 400 to 500 youths threw bricks and stones at police. , Police responded by firing about 125 plastic bullets to disperse the crowd, according to a statement from police headquarters. Police said three of the 49 injured remained hospitalized overnight, but that the rest were treated and released. The ban on marches was imposed late Sunday after the province's police chief, Sir John Herrrion, advised the govern ment that "sinister elements had infil trated and taken control" of the parade, and it had intended to riot and use firearms against the security forces. Scuffles between police and Protest ant marchers also occurred in Belfast, as Protestants continued to protest the Nov. 15 British-Irish agreement on Northern Ireland. f .

EMI 151 East Franklin Street Downtown Chapel Hill North Carolina 27514 Reagan's rejection of weapons summit draws U.S. criticism From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON The chair man of the House Armed Services Committee and three former U.S. arms control negotiators, in an expression of regret, called President Reagan's rejection of a proposed U.S.-Soviet summit on banning nuclear weapons tests, a missed opportunity to slow the arms race. Paul H. Nitze, the president's senior adviser on arms control, said American critics were trying to exploit the administration's position. Gorbachev had offered to meet Reagan as soon as possible in a European capital to negotiate a nuclear test ban. He said he was giving the administration one last chance to halt Soviet underground nuclear tests, which have been suspended for seven months. Reagan turned down Gorbachev's proposal immediately. Damages limits considered RALEIGH Limits on pain and suffering compensation should top the list of possible reforms in civil liability law considered by the General Assembly this year, a panel agreed Tuesday. A subcommittee of the Legisla ture's Liability and Property Insu rance Markets Study Commission picked seven topics on which it would try to develop proposed legislation for the June session including putting a $250,000 ceiling on "non-economic," or pain or suffering damages. Strike agreement reached MANILA, Philippines A government official said Tuesday that negotiators had reached an agreement to end a strike by 22,000 Filipino workers at American mil itary bases, but a union leader said he had to consult workers for their final decision. The Filipino workers at Subic Naval Base, Clark Air Base and six smaller U.S. facilities have been on strike for 1 1 days. 9 Americans die in Mexican jet crash, reports say; black box found POMOC A, Mexico (AP) Search teams Tuesday removed bodies from the wreckage of a Mexican jet that smashed into a mountainside, killing all 166 people aboard. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said nine U.S. citizens were on the Mexicana Airlines Boeing 727. "We can confirm that nine Americans were on the plane," said U.S. Embassy spokesman Vincent Hovanec in Mexico City. He said no identification of the bodies had been made yet, but reports from the airline, family and friends were that nine Americans held tickets for the flight and "were indeed on the plane." Officials said the remains of more than half the victims and the "black box" flight recorder were recovered. The jet, en route from Mexico City to Los Angeles with stops in the Pacific resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Maza tlan, hit the 7,792-foot mountain about 90 miles northwest of Mexico City known locally as El Carbon, shortly after it took off Monday morning. "Unfortunately, there are no survi vors," Mexicana spokesman Fernando Martinez Cortes said of the 158 pas sengers and eight crew aboard flight 940. The cause of the crash is not known, but Mexicana said the pilot reported pressurization problems and sought permission to fly lower shortly before the plane went down. Helicopters began taking bodies to a base camp set up in a field in Pomoca on Monday. The recovery operation was suspended at nightfall but resumed Tuesday. Rescue workers were searching for bodies, putting the remains in bags on stretchers and then climbing 1,500 feet to a ridge near the top of the peak, where only one helicopter can land at a time. Ambulances in a small field at Pomoca took the bodies from the helicopters to Balbuena Hospital in the nearby community of Maravatio. From there, they will go to Morelia, 42 miles west of the crash, and then to Mexico City. Officials working at the base camp said the remains of what were believed to be 89 victims had been recovered by 10 a.m. Mexicana in Mexico city said the black recorder box was recovered Monday afternoon and would be sent to the U.S. Federal Aviation Admin istration for analysis. The black box contains flight recorders that investiga tors use to help determine the cause of a plane crash.
