Reports of pro-Lt. Gov. Bob
Jord ) groups pressuring other
Demojatic gubernatorial hopefuls
to gerout of the 198p race may be
an effort to avoid a potentially
divisive primary.
Although Bob Jordan Committee
members are aware of the reports,
campaign manager John Crumpler
said he does not know who the groups
are or if the rumor is true.
I don't know where the reports
are coming from, but we (the Bob
Jordan campaign) are not actively
trying to limit the primary field,"
Crumpler said.
Crumpler said the Jordan camp is
willing to go through a primary.
"We understand the primaries are
a Democratic tradition and don't
expect the 1988 race to be an excep
tion," Crumpler said.
Although state Democratic chair
man Jim Van Hecke said he sup
ported Jordan earlier this year, N.C.
Democratic Party press secretary
Margaret Lawton said the headquar
ters supports all of the potential
candidates until there is one nominee.
"It's a tradition in the Democratic
Party to have primaries," Lawton
said. "I think think the Democrats
expect there to be a primary."
Van Hecke said his personal endor
sement was completely separate from
the headquarters.
"I'm just being honest in stating
where my obvious preferences lie,"
Van Hecke said. "But Billy Watkins
and Ed Renfrow will never have a
reason to question the fairness of the
headquarters."
Competition in the N.C. Demo
cratic gubernatorial race enhances
rather than hurts the Democratic
Army toases tugJhtiee seairaty measmnres
party's ability to produce more
popular candidates, said State Aud
itor Edward Renfrow, a potential
gubernatorial hopeful.
"A primary's objective is to nom
inate candidates who are prepared on
the issues, are aware of the issues,
and can conduct themselves and
debate the issues articulately," Ren
frow said. "If you forgo that process,
then you go into the general election,
I feel, not as well prepared."
Renfrow said he has received
several endorsements, but still has not
made any decision on whether to run.
"Whether I run or not is not the
issue," Renfrow said. "There will
probably be a primary and I still think
the primary is a healthy process.
That's the reason we have it."
The pressure to limit the primaries
because of fear of dividing the party
could be attributed to the 1984
Democratic primary, Crumpler said.
The 1984 primary ended with
gubernatorial hopeful Eddie Knox
choosing not to support the Demo
cratic ticket after losing the primary.
Eventually he joined the Republican
party. '
"That little bit of what you would
could call 'bad blood' left a bad taste
in a lot of Democrats' mouths about
gubernatorial primaries," Crumpler
said.
Crumpler said if a primary were
run properly, it would not be divisive.
Renfrow said if the candidates
refrained from attacking people
within the Party, then a lively primary
with good participation could help
the Party in the long run.
"There is a high road to politics
and a low road," Renfrow said. "It
behooves all of us to take the high
road by debating the issues and
leaving the personalities at home."

In an effort to safeguard U.S. bases
from terrorist attacks, U.S. Forces
Command has tightened security
measures at Fort Bragg and Army
bases nationwide, command officials
The orders to tighten security are
based on general worldwide security
situations, said Capt. Donald Sens
ing, chief of public information for
Ft. Bragg.
"There is no specific threat today,"
Sensing said.
Ft. Bragg, one of the most visible
and important Army posts, is con
centrating more on security, said
Barry Morris, deputy chief of media
relations for U.S. Forces Command
(FORSCOM).
"We're at an increased awareness

right now," Morris said. "We tighten
security any time conditions indicate
to us that our people may be under
any kind of threat."
FORSCOM, which oversees
almost 50 installations, stepped up
security at bases around the country
on Oct. 19, responding to global
conflicts in the Persian Gulf and
elsewhere, Morris said.
Security measures at Ft. Bragg
include spot-checking vehicles enter
ing the installation for identification
decals and warning soldiers to watch
for strangers on the base.
Internal changes cannot be dis
closed for security reasons, Morris
said.
Fort Pope Air Force base, near Ft.
Bragg, did not change its security
policies but continues to maintain a
closed base and monitor all entries.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base
in Goldsboro maintains 24-hour
radar patrol of the skies and checks
for any unauthorized aircraft, said
Jay Barber, a base spokesman.
"(The air patrol) can't get any more
ready than they are," he said.
Nationally, Marine bases are trying
to increase security awareness, said
Capt. Linda Western, spokeswoman
for Marine headquarters in Washing
ton, D.C.
"In light of the situation in the
Persian Gulf, we are attentive to our
security," she said.
But at the Quantico Marine Corps
Base in Quantico, Va., officials have
not imposed any specific security
measures, said Chief Warrant Officer
Randy Gaddo of the Quantico base.
Student Affairs sponsors fair

Soviet foreign minister, Shultz
to discuss possible summit
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Soviet
Foreign Minister Eduard She
vardnadze will come here at the
end of the week to discuss pros
pects for a superpower summit
meeting and an agreement to ban
intermediate-range nuclear mis
siles, a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The Soviets requested the meet
ing between Shevardnadze and
Secretary of State George Schultz,
according to the official, who
demanded anonymity.
He said he could not predict
whether a date for a visit by Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev would
be set then. But the official said,
"a scenario for a summit is
developing."
Gorbachev told Shultz last
Friday in Moscow that he was not
ready to fix a date for his third
round of talks with President
Reagan.
But this morning in Moscow,
Shevardnadze told U.S. Ambas
sador Jack Matlock he wanted to
fly to Washington for talks at the
end of the week.
Investors buy blue chips
NEW YORK The stock
market managed to rebound Tues
day as a late buying burst in blue
chips withstood a wave of anxious
sellers looking to cash in on an
early advance in the aftermath of
last week's collapse.
Trading continued at a brisk
pace, with 260.22 million shares
changing hands on the New York
Stock Exchange in its 1 1th busiest
day.
Major exchanges are closing
two hours early through the end
of the week to curb the enormous
volume of paperwork building up.
Despite Tuesday's rally, many
traders said uncertainty and ner-

South Korea gets new law
SEOUL, South Korea South
Korean voters overwhelmingly
approved a new constitution
Tuesday, establishing direct presi
dential elections and other demo
cratic reforms demanded in exten
sive anti-government riots last
summer.
In downtown Seoul, riot police
battled protesters who urged
voters to boycott the referendum.
Police said about 40 demonstra
tors were arrested.
Election officials declared the
referendum approved early Wed
nesday. The approval rate was 94
percent, with 54 percent of the
total ballots counted. Only a
simple majority was needed.
President Chun Doo-hwan,
who took power with military
backing in 1980, bowed to oppo
sition demands for reforms in July
and announced that he would step
down when his term ends Feb. 25.
No anti-drug money for cities
WASHINGTON A year
after President Reagan signed
legislation to wage a war on drugs,
critics said Tuesday the first battle
has been lost and support has
failed to reach the front lines: the
streets of the nation's cities.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors
released a study showing that
fewer than half of 42 selected
major cities surveyed have
received commitments for money
under the law for local drug
education, treatment and enforce
ment programs.

The Division of Student Affairs is
sponsoring a student fair in the Pit
today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to
increase student awareness of the
division's programs and services.
Susan Goldstone, University
Career Planning and Placement
Services counselor and fair coordina
tor, said all Student Affairs depart
ments will sponsor booths, including
Student Health Service, the Campus
Y and the Student Development and
Counseling Center.
"Anyone can come and talk to us
about our services," Goldstone said.
"What we're trying to do is create an
awareness within the student body
about the Division of Student
Affairs."
Pizza Inn will offer free pizza and
soft drinks, and TCBY will offer
yogurt.
In case of rain, the fair will be
moved into rooms 205 and 206 of
the Student Union.
Goldstone said she expects an
exciting event, given the success of
a faculty fair the division held Oct.
7.
"That was really fun;" she said, "so
I'm hoping well have a fun student
fair, too."
For the Record
Monday's article, "Petition pro
posed referendum to question CGLA
funding," incorrectly reported the
districts of Student Congress
members H.F. Watts and David
McNeill. Watts represents District 17,
not 15; McNeill represents District
19, not 17.
And Monday's article, "Alumni
donations unaffected by admissions
standards," misrepresented the
number of alumni children who enroll
and the number "who are denied
admission to UNC.
In 1984 804 children of alumni
were enrolled, while 242 children of
alumni, who were qualified according
to the Board of Trustees' minimum
requirements, were not admitted. The
number of alumni children denied -admission
was not drawn from the
total of 804 students enrolled, as;
reported.
Also, in 1987, 791 children of
alumni were enrolled, and 607 qual- ;
