KOLB Staff Writer Democratic Senate nominee Terry Sanford has turned down an offer of almost 30 minutes of free air time from a Raleigh television station.

Hasenfus' Nicaraguan lawyer, Enrique Sotelo Borgen, also attended the session. Portions of it were broadcast on the government's Voice of Nicaragua radio. Earlier, Hasenfus' lawyer had criticized the government for deny ing him access to his client before But I'll sit around here and lose the election if I don't repel the troops coming up the hill," Sanford said in a weekend interview. Broyhill and Sanford appear to have abandoned the unwritten rule that even the appearance of "neg ative" campaigning could produce voter backlash and must be avoided. Some examples: B Broyhill is using stronger language in an intensified effort to convince North Carolinians that Sanford, governor from 1961-65, is a liberal. In the Oct. 1 2 debate, Broyhill said his Democratic opponent favored "the old. tired policies" of the 1960s I he station stipulated that Sanford could not appear in the broadcast, said Robert Wolfe.

WPTF-TV's offer, which is still under negotiation between the station and representatives of the Sanford campaign, was for a representative of Sanford to be given 29 minutes and 15 seconds of free air time.

"Hasenfus is in a legally indefens ible position because he has been unable to see his attorney or his family before the trial,'" Sotelo Borgen said Monday. Hasenfus, of Marienette, Wis., was captured a day after a C-I23 cargo plane was shot down by Sandinista troops. Three others aboard, two Americans and a third still not identified, were killed. The People's Tribunal is a judicial body created in 1983 to prosecute people accused of counter revolutionary activity. Each panel consists of a lawyer and two lay people, all generally active in San and, if elected, would join with Democratic leaders in dismantling Reagan programs that "brought this country back from the brink of disaster." Sanford is charging that Broy hill has not been as effective a congressman as he and his suppor ters say. Broyhill argues that his experience on Capitol Hill and his reputation as a legislative insider with friends in high places are a major reason why he should be elected. B Broyhill's campaign aired TV ads for two weeks that included reminders that Sanford had per suaded the 1961 legislature to impose visit received, 11:30 a.m. Nor mally. WPTF-TV carries the game show "Scrabble" in the slot. Sanford turned down the initial offer because he wanted to be able to appear in the broadcast, said Ed Bristol, Sanford spokesman. The former governor had asked for an hour of free time, but Bristol said. "The time is adequate as long as Sanford can appear." Wolfe said WPTF-TV wants a firm answer by Friday as to whether or not Sanford will be Student Congress sponsors survey on University policy By MARY PARADESES Staff Writer .

In Washington, State Department spokesman Charles Redman said the tribunals were set up for the purpose of circumventing due process in order to persecute political opponents. Redman also said the only visit to Hasenfus by a U.S. consular office took place on Oct. 10. "We don't consider that visit to be a proper one," Redman said. "We've demanded that the Nicara guan government accede to our repeated requests for a consular visit consistent with its treaty obligations." the 3 percent sales tax on food and non-prescription drugs. By coincidence, the debate was on the same day that the Reagan Gorbachev summit collapsed in Reykjavik, Iceland. Broyhill and Republican candidates across the nation have tried since then to parlay the president's refusal to abandon his Strategic Defense Initiative into a winning issue. Broyhill has implied that Sanford, if elected, would not be supportive of President Reagan's defense and foreign policies. The state president of Veterans of Foreign Wars joined Broyhill on a campaign swing last week. using the time. If the question regarding whether Sanford can appear is resolved, the station will offer free air time on a weekday next week or possibly this week. Sanford also cited the equal time provision of the Federal Communications Act to ask for an hour of free time on WTVD I V. a Durham television station. The station has not offered Sanford any free air time. "The next step is to petition the FCC." Bristol said. "We aren't taking a survey just to take a survey.' Sipe said. "We intend to form a committee to work on the problem areas that students are concerned with." Although planned since last semester, the survey was only recently compiled. The department of sociology helped write the survey, and the University had to approve it before any phone calls could be made. Names were taken from a list of all UNC students, and every 90th student will be called. "We have had some good responses on the survey," Sipe said. "I'm sure it will be effective and help Student Government in making changes that need to be made." Student Body President Bryan Hassel. who is also working on the survey, agreed that it would help Student Goverment tremendously. " The more we know (about students' needs), the better we can represent them." Hassel said. "I hope some changes can be made in order to benefit the students."

There were Fathers organize for changes in child custody, support laws By CHRIS CHAPMAN Staff Writer A recently formed group, Fathers for Equal Rights, is seeking sweeping changes in North Carolina's child custody laws, according to group president Arthur Hemmerlein. "(We want) to get society to look at divorce differently than in the past," he said. Tom Vass, chairman of the group's political action committee, said the group was formed to preserve the emotional and financial support of children from both parents after marriages end in divorce. He said many judges are sympathetic to mothers and often award custody to them. Hemmerlein said awarding cus tody to one parent has damaging effects on the children of divorce. He cited -a California study on divorced families which showed that five years after a divorce where custody was awarded to a single parent, one-third of the children studied were depressed and dissatisfied. He also cited findings that 35 percent of children in their mother's custody claimed deprivation of a father to be the single biggest problem of divorce. The group hopes to find sponsors for three pieces of legislation when the state legislature convenes in 1987: B Presumptive joint custody, in which both parents would exercise authority over their children's wel fare after divorce. Hemmerlein said this rarely occurs now in North Carolina because single custody favors the mother and joint custody can only occur if both parents agree on it. Thirteen states now have presumptiv e joint custody. Vass said the custody would allow both parents to maintain authority in the child's life and guarantee State 5 National three abstentions in the 120 member Parliament. Under an unprecedented 1984 coalition agreement between Peres left-leaning Labor Party and Shamir's Likud, Peres takes Shamir's previous job as foreign minister. The 7 1 -year-old Shamir said a "supreme priority" of his govern ment would be to funnel funds into increased Jewish settlement of occupied Arab territories.

It takes from Africa another soldier-president who was one of the few remaining leaders linked to the anti-colonial struggle that spread across the continent in the 1960s. access to all areas of a child's life. B Mandatory mediation, which would force parents to work out a custody agreement with a third party. Hemmerlein said this law would require parents to meet with a mediator who had expertise in both family law and behavioral sciences. The mediator would then arrange a custody agreement with the parents that considered the children's needs. This would take the negotiation of custody agreements out of the province of divorce lawyers. O Child support accountability, in which both parents would provide for the financial support of the child and a tracking system would be installed for support payments. Under current law, Hemmerlein said, there is nothing that requires the parent having custody to con tribute child support. Furthermore,: there is no way of determining if child support is actually used for . children and not the single parent, he said. "The tracking system would allow the mediators, officials of the court, and parents to know the money is being used for the benefit of the child." he said. Under the tracking system, both parents would contribute money to a bank account. Funds would be drawn from the account to pay the children's expenses. The system would provide records of canceled checks to ensure the money was being used for the children. "We're not a bunch of redneck dads." said Hemmerlein, citing support for the group by women's and senior citizens' groups. "We're concerned about children's rights." The group, headquartered in Raleigh, has four chapters and about 400 members. ) piohled in a special promotional section of IIMI.
