2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, September 3. 1986 Wake Forest to disciass Baptist ties Cy PAUL CORY Sta!f Writer On Friday, the members of the covenant committees of Wake Forest University and the N.C. State Baptist Convention will meet in Winston-Salem to decide the future of the formal tics that have linked the two for the past 152 years. However, Wake Forest does not want to completely break off ties with the convention as has been widely reported. "What we want is an agreement both sides can live with and abide by," said Robert Philpott, chairman of the university covenant . committee. The dispute centers around the ability of Wake Forest to appoint its own trustees. In 1979, the uni- versity and the convention, nego tiated a five-year covenant which ' gave the university the power to 91 Ibelieved killed in rwn mwuiiiu i tsii reports CERRITOS, Calif. Up to 24 people on the ground may have been killed Sunday, when a jetliner crashed into a residential neighbor hood. The jetliner had collided with a small plane whose pilot had just had a heart attack, said sources Tuesday. A top federal investigator said it was unlikely the heart attack led to the collision that killed the 67 people aboard the planes. "I'm skeptical that it was a factor," said John Lauper, the National Transportation Safety Board member in charge of the investiga tion of the crash.

Baptists. Previously, the convention was able to elect and dismiss trustees, and all trustees had to be N.C. Baptists. The convention retained the right to veto nominees. The covenant came up for renewal last year at the convention's annual November meeting. The university offered a covenant which contained a provision stating that the one-third of the trustees who were not from North Carolina or were not N.C. Baptists could not be vetoed by the convention. The convention refused to ratify the covenant. The process then shifted to the covenant com mittees which have been trying to hammer out a compromise.

The confirmed dead included 58 passengers and six crew members aboard the jet and the three people in the small plane. Numbers from various sources indicated that up to 24 others on the ground also died, which could bring the total death toll Report predicts active coastal economy By ROBERT KEEFE Business Editor If the findings released in a recent economic report prove to be true, the residents in the coastal sections of the United States can expect a relatively active economy for years to come, while those in the heartland of the nation will suffer in economic stagnancy. The Joint Economic Committee reported last month that California and IS East Coast states have averaged 4 percent annual growth in personal income since 1981.

"Everything is up in the air until after the meeting," Philpott said. Even if a compromise covenant is agreed on by the committee Friday, it has a long road to travel before it becomes official, according to Poe. "After it leaves the covenant committee, the proposal will go to the Carolina Council on Christian Higher Education, which is a com mission of the convention. "The the proposal will have to go to the General Board of the N.C. Baptists' state convention, who will make a recommendation to the full convention when it meets in November. The convention will then vote on the proposal," Poe said. ' The convention founded Wake Calif, plane crash to91. Garry Oversby, of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, said a man and two of his teen-age children died in one house, while 15 party-goers died in another house. One woman was believed killed in her home, her son said Monday. Five other people, believed to be residents of or visitors to another house, were also killed, the Orange County Register said have had an average 1.4 percent annual growth rate. The report cited problems in the agriculture, petroleum, mining, timber and heavy manufacturing industries as major reasons for a failing economy in the nation's heartland. The coastal states, on the other hand, are becoming more service oriented. The prosperity of most states depends on their ability to break away from failing industries and lean toward the service indus tries, according to the report. The establishment of research centers such as Research Triangle Park and Silicon Valley in California also promotes the prosperity of the coastal states in the future. But until heartland states can establish research universities, the possibility of research centers will remain out of reach. you work better, faster and smarter.

During the negotiations in 1979 that led to the old covenant, the conven tion withheld its monetary support for the university. The covenant of 1979 ended the convention's direct financial support of the university, replacing it with an agreement that allowed Baptist churches to designate gifts to the university. These gifts totaled some $500,000 of Wake Forest's $160 million yearly budget. In return, the university offers scholarships to Baptists, holds Baptist conferences and keeps records for many Baptist churches. "Dollar for dollar, all of the money we received from Baptist -churches last year was spent on Baptist-related affairs," Philpott said. Tuesday,, Coroner's spokesman Bill Gold refused Tuesday to estimate the number of fatalities among people on the ground. In Washington, NTSB investiga tors said they're uncertain how much information they will get from the DC-9's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder because they were severely damaged. uThe research universities are the foundation for economic growth," said John D. Kasarda, chairman of the UNC department of sociology. "They are absolutely essential.,' Access is another major reason for economic well being in the coastal sections of the United . States, Kasarda said. "This is why the decision by American Airlines to locate (its eastern hub) at Raleigh-Durham airport was so important to the economy," said Kasarda. "Access is the key to develop ment," he said. According to the committee report, earnings by families in coastal states could be more than 40 percent higher than earnings by families in other parts of the nation by the mid 1990s if the present trend continues. The 15 Eastern states in the committee's study were North Carol ina, South Carolina, Georgia, Vir ginia, Florida, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, Maine, Del aware, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Smith has pleaded no contest , to a charge of involuntary man slaughter and three counts of furnishing and administering dangerous drugs in Belushi's death from a heroin and cocaine overdose on March 5, 1982. Judge David Horowitz rejected an impassioned plea from Smith's attorney, Howard Weitzman, who urged that she be placed on probation and be allowed to enter a drug rehabilitation program. Soviets maintain spying charge MOSCOW A foreign min istry official said Tuesday that papers handed to Nicholas Dani loff by an acquaintance were evidence the American reporter was involved in espionage. The Soviet official denied the KGB framed Daniloff. Daniloff, correspondent for U.S. News & World Report magazine, has been held at Lefor tovo Prison in eastern Moscow since his arrest Saturday. The KGB have accused him of spying. -Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the magazine's chairman, said Dani loff s detention was "outrageous." Law requires proof of shots to stay enrolled in university By DAVID PEARSON Staff Writer According to a law that went into effect July 1, all new students at North Carolina's public or private universities must be immunized against childhood diseases before they can enroll. Students must provide proof of booster shots against measles, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. If a student fails to do so within 30 days of the start of class, universities . are required to refuse the student admittance. Beverly H. Williams, administra tive assistant to the UNC Student Health Service, said providing health records has always been a require ment, but not state law. Students were not dropped if they- failed to provide proof of immunization. However this semester, students 11 STORES 10am-3pm $20 Deposit nfSSS. 2J (o) Lifestyle! 312 west Franklin St. Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 933-2222 Hours: Mon.-Sat. 10 AM - 5 Pf SidiO Ct Ncriional Entertainer's case to be heard NEW CITY, N.Y. A grand jury will hear charges against entertainer Joey Heatherton stemming from her alleged stab bing of an ex-lover during an argument about her career, a prosector said Tuesday. Rockland County District Attorney Kenneth Gribetz said the charges felonious assault, menacing and possession of a controlled substance will be presented to a grand jury in two weeks. Heatherton, 41, is free on $1,500 bail. Gribetz said Heatherton allegedly attacked Jerry Fischer, 44, with two knives at his home in Hillcrest after an argument in which he blamed her career troubles on drug use. Gribetz said police at the scene found a white powder believed to be cocaine in her purse when Heatherton opened it looking for identification. Heatherton, daughter of TV's "Merry Mailman," Ray Heather ton, was arrested in July 1985 at the U.S. Passport Office in Man hattan for allegedly slapping a woman and pulling her hair. She was also charged with refusing to pay a $4,906 bill at a Long Island hotel and spa. who fail to comply will be withdrawn from the University. Also, com pliance will be more difficult this year because a student's records must be physician-certified. Williams said that approximately 1,500 of the accepted freshman class of UNC lacked sufficient proof of immunization. Although N.C. stu dents should already be properly immunized, she said, out-of-state students did not make up the major ity of those in non-compliance. She added that tetanus and measles shots have been the ones most frequently needed. Measles vaccines have been a particular problem because N.C. law says that a person must be immun ized on or after his first birthday and many health officials either forget to look at a student's birthdate or simply ignore it if the student was vaccinated a few days before his first birthday, she said. Williams said UNC was informed last fall by the N.C. Department of Health that this law would go into effect. The Student Health Service has run a free immunization clinic over the summer, and will continue to do so. Students wishing to be vaccinated should go by the Student Health Service building Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., she said.
