2The Daily Tar Heel Monday, March 30, 1987 Mo Co ramiks laslt By MICHAEL A. JORDAN Stair Writer North Carolina receives less fed eral money per capita than any other state in the country, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report. Last year, the federal government spent an average of $2,487 per capita in '. North Carolina, far below the $5,091 spent per capita in Alaska. The average U.S. per capita federal expenditure was $3,391, the Census Bureau reported. Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan is concerned about the report but has not had a chance to study it yet, said Brenda Summers, his press secretary. Sen. Terry Sanford, D-N.C, said in a prepared statement that he was aware of the report and concerned about its implications for North Carolina. "While 1 worrt seek federal funds simply because they're available, I will look for reasonable opportun ities for the state to receive what it justly deserves," Sanford said.

Labor deputy leader Denis .Healey, a former foreign secre tary, also said Reagan was badly briefed and muddled during .Friday's meeting at the White House. He said Reagan was .incapable of responding to some .'questions and that he mistook .Healey for the British ambassador. "What does seem to be the case is that some of President Reagan's advisers thought it would be a good idea to try and help Mrs. Thatcher in her election battle by being unkind to the Labor Party," Healey said in a TV interview. Thatcher is widely expected to call an election this summer or autumn, ahead of the June 1988 deadline. Healey, sliding in opinion polls, took a hammering in the British press, which for the most part supports Thatcher's Conservative Party.

An Excellent Computer For Your Diverse Needs! AVAILABLE FOR LEASING! Bern Bonifant, a social science analyst for the Census Bureau, said there are many reasons for North Carolina's low ranking. Much of the money the federal government is sending back to states is earmarked for social programs such as welfare and social security, he said. "Since North Carolina is low in unemployment, it gets less of that type of money," he said. John Foust, N.C. deputy treasurer for state and local government finance, said local governments once relied more on federal grants, but those have now been eliminated. Sanford, however, is encouraging local government to seek govern ment grants. "I have invited a number of mayors to keep an eye out for projects that are especially deserving of federal funds, and I want to extend that invitation to all local officials," he said. Put Foust said the state doesn O 71 community as president of the Coalition for Progress," Cooper said. "Because of my duties as president, I would be shortchanging the BSM as vice president because of my time limitations." Cooper said he did not think Wilton Hyman, the other vice presidential candidate who will run unopposed, is qualified to serve as vice president. personnel exempt from the person nel act (EPA), received the awards and $1,000 from the University. Mauer has worked for the Uni versity police since 1965. As chief, he oversees 40 sworn officers, seven security guards and four dispatchers. "It's my responsibility to see things run smoothly," Mauer said. His favorite part of the job is his contact with people. After going from patrolman to police chief, Mauer plans to remain with the University Labor party as being snubbed during the meeting with Reagan over its non-nuclear defense policy. Thatcher, meanwhile, began an official visit to Moscow on Sat urday, and her red-carpet wel come from Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbchev dominated television newscasts and the front pages. Healey, who accompanied Labor leader Neil Kinnock to the meeting with Reagan, told repor ters in London: "He (Reagan) did not understand this area (Labor's defense policy). He was not capable of making a response. He just nodded his head." Healey said Reagan also greeted him with the words, "Nice to see you again, Mr. Ambassa dor," while British ambassador Sir Antony Acland stood by. Healey said the account of the meeting by White House spokes man Marlin Fitzwater was "com pletely misleading." Fitzwater said Reagan told Kinnock that Labor's non-nuclear policy "would have a strong effect on NATO and East-West relations and would undercut our (arms control) negotiating position." ne federal &M need to pursue federal money as much as other states. "One of the things that has served North Carolina well is that our areas (local governments) are fiscally sound," he said. North Carolina has a history of limited reliance on federal money, he said. Bonifant said most southern states tend to wish to avoid the conditions usually attached to federal grants. The report categorized the federal expenditures in groups of related spending such as social programs, military spending, grants and pro curements, Bonifant said. "(North Carolina) didn't rank dead last in anything, but it was pretty low in some categories," Bonifant said, adding that the state just barely differs from the national average in many categories. "That difference isnt much, but if you get a lot of small differences, they add up. Foust said most of the report "I don't believe he has the qualities of a strong black student activist that can steer the BSM in a positive direction," Cooper said. "He seems to be misguided by a distorted perception of what the leadership of the BSM could do." Hyman, a sophomore from Lau rinburg, said he thought Cooper had decided to run for personal gain. Hyman said. "1 feel like he tried until he retires. Andrews has been employed by UNCs Physical Plant since 1972, working at various jobs, including pruning, weeding, landscaping, snow removal and commencement set-up. "I like working with plants the best." Andrews, who is deaf, inspired almost a dozen of his co-workers to take sign language classes last spring.

PTL slhakeuro Lobbyist says television preachers have 'Wall Street ethics' ( From Associated Press reports ' ' P RALEIGH. . The Rev. Jerry Falwell has said PTL will answer the calls for accountability in donations to the ministry, but critics of tele vision evangelism say the account books will never be opened. Art Kropp, executive director of People for the American Way, a lobbying group, leveled big-business criticism at the nation's television ministries. "It is TV Evangelism Incorpo rated," Kropp said in a stop in Raleigh last week. "It is sort of like Wall Street. It has the ethics of Wall Street."

"1 don't see why our rank in procurements was so low when we have such a variety of products," he said. But since North Carolina produ ces mostly consumer products, Bonifant said the U.S. government is not interested in many of North Carolina's products. Sanford said North Carolina has put much more money into the federal highway fund than it has received during the past 30 years. The state gets a return of just 83 cents for every dollar it places into the fund, he said. The proposed highway bill to allow states to raise some speed limits to 65 mph would also cost North Carolina millions of dollars each year, he said. Gov. Jim Martin and Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. could not be reached for comment about the report last week. to use the BSM as a springboard to get this office he wanted, and I don't appreciate that because it makes the BSM look cheap." Hyman said he would continue campaigning despite Cooper's withdrawal. "I'm going to keep asking people for support," he said. "I'm running for this office because I really want it." These benefits include retirement plans and insurance for life, health and disability. McCollum has helped to auto mate the files of close to 3,000 workers, converting the manual records to computer diskettes and then transferring them to the admin istration's main computer. She also created a 30-minute computer presentation to explain the state retirement system, as part of a seminar series for EPA employees. in 1980 to oppose the ! political . ativities espoused by television evangelists and particularly Falwell's Moral Majority organization. "They dont account to anybody," Kropp said of the evangelists. "Now we find people's donations are going to bribery money. It is time to open the books. But 1 guarantee you they will never do it," he said. The verbal charges come in the wake of a shakeup at PTL, when Jim Bakker resigned after the dis closure was made that he had a sexual encounter with a woman seven years ago.

Conservatives scrutinize Baker WASHINGTON Long dis trusted by the conservative wing of the GOP, White House Chief of Staff Howard Baker is trying to calm its members by organ izing a small group of President Reagan's long-time associates to meet regularly with the president to press the conservatives agenda. Many in the right wing see Baker, the former Senate major ity leader, as a Capitol Hill compromiser, eager to get Rea gan to approve higher taxes, slacken support for the Nicara guan rebels or even sign an arms control agreement with the Soviets, just to shift the focus from the disarray caused by the Iran-contra affair.
