"Price describes accomplishments
goals
BySTACI COX
Staff Writer
Rep. David Price, D-N.C, out
lined his bill to restore tax exemption
on student loans and scholarships
with about 40 young Democrats and
six college Republicans at a Young
Democrats meeting in the Student
Union Tuesday.
"It is absurd to allow people to
deduct the interest when they buy a
yacht, but pay taxes when they take
out a student loan," Price said,
criticizing President Reagan's 1986
tax reform act that eliminated the tax
exempt status of interest on student
loans and on scholarship funds.
' Price is gathering support for the
bill, which has about 60 co-sponsors
in the House, he said. Other members
of Congress are sponsoring similar
bills, and one of the bills should reach
the House floor during the next
session, he said.
On the eve of his official entry into
a re-election race, Price highlighted
Congress' achievements during his
first term as 4th District
representative.
Price helped win $1.7 million in
funding for expanded Environmental
Protection Agency research facilities
in Chapel Hill, he said.
Among the bills passed in 1987 are
a repeal of the Nuclear Waste
Requirement Act and funding to
consolidate the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS) buildings in the Research
Triangle Park, Price said.
The Nuclear Waste Requirement
Act required a high-level waste dump
in the Eastern United States if one
is placed in the West, Price said. The
North Carolina sites under consider
ation were unacceptable because of
high population in the areas and
problems with soil quality, Price said.
The repeal passed without debate, but
only because it was added to the final
package containing all remaining
legislation for the session, Price said.
As a member of the banking
committee, Price is sponsoring a
consumer-protection bill that would
require up-front, full disclosure of
requirements for home-equity loans,
he said.
Price is part of a Southern effort
to combat illiteracy. He is the
Democratic co-chairman of a bipar
tisan group of Southern congressmen
that is studying solutions to the
growing problem of adult illiteracy
and high school drop-outs, he said.

The DOE gave the list in no order
of preference, but some officials see
certain states as front-runners.
The proposals from Texas and
Illinois have significant strength,"
said Eugen Merzbacher, a UNC
Kenan professor of physics.
N.C. experts seem to be pleased
but not shocked with how well the
state has done in the competition.
"I was happy ... it just confirmed
my belief that we were a good site,"
said William Dunn, SSC project
director for North Carolina.

Merzbacher said he expected
North Carolina to appear on the list
of finalists, and he thinks the state
has a very good proposal.
The SSC would have a major
impact on the state, according to
some N.C. officials.
"It would further enhance North
Carolina's reputation (in the scien
ces)," Dunn said. The SSC also would
add 3,000 scientifically related jobs
to the Triangle, he added.
Merzbacher added, "Having it so
close by would be a great boon to
the University in general."
Research by the National Academy
of Engineering and the Super Collider
Site Evaluation Committee of the
National Academy of Sciences
enabled the DOE to announce the
list. Twenty-one distinguished people
in the physical and social sciences
made up this committee, said
Raphael Kasper, project director for
the SSC at the academies.
Kasper said the committee made
its decisions based on six categories
geology and tunneling, regional
resources, environment, setting,
regional conditions and utilities.

Reagan gives CIA authority
to continue aid to contras
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON President
Reagan authorized the CIA to
resume air drops of weapons to
Nicaragua's contra rebels Tues
day, as congressional opponents
worked to onset an expected
presidential lobbying blitz for an
extension of military aid.
The House votes Feb. 3 on
Reagan's request for an as-yet-undetermined
amount of new
military aid. If it approves the
request, the Senate will vote the
next day.
In a speech to administration
political appointees Tuesday, the
president reiterated his belief that
only continued military pressure
on Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista
government will lead to peace for
the region.
The administration's task in
winning new lethal supplies was
made more difficult Over the
weekend when Nicaraguan Pres
ident Daniel Ortega promised to
make substantial concessions to
keep the peace process alive.
North investigation approved
WASHINGTON Marine Lt.
Col. Oliver North failed Tuesday
in a bid to have the Supreme Court
block a criminal investigation into
his role in the Iran-contra affair.
The justices, without comment,
refused to change a ruling that
Attorney General Edwin Meese
properly delegated authority to
independent counsel Lawrence
Walsh to conduct the inquiry.
The high court order clears the
way for Walsh to seek indictments
against North and other key
participants in a scheme to divert
the proceeds of secret U.S. arms
sales to Iran to the Nicaraguan
contra rebels.
Israel bans food shipments
JERUSALEM Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin con
fronted stone-throwing Palestini
ans in a West Bank refugee camp
Tuesday and said the army will
use beatings rather than bullets to
News in Brief
quell riots that began six weeks
ago.
He also said Israel would bar
foreign countries or private groups
from shipping food to Palestinian
refugee camps in the occupied
territories. United Nations offi
cials say some camps are short of
food because of curfews.
Rabin denied there were food
shortages in the camps. Soldiers
barred a convoy of four food
laden trucks sent by a private
Israeli organization from entering
the Gaza Strip.
Soviets decry child labor
MOSCOW The Soviet pro
secutor's office says criminal
exploitation of children perform
ing menial labor on state farms
kills hundreds of students and
cripples thousands more each
year.
The prosecutor's office com
plained that children as young as
10 are brought into farm labor
collectives where they put in 12
hours a day.
The Tass article marked the first
public criticism of the long
standing practice of recruiting
children for farm work, although
the author suggested that some
child labor is necessary.
Hart invites opposition
FAYETTEVILLE Gary
Hart challenged his Democratic
presidential rivals to unveil their
deficit reduction plans Tuesday, a
subject in which he said Americans
were more interested than "peek
ing in people's windows."
Hart, on his first campaign
foray to the South since re
entering the race, said he believed
Bible Belt conservatives were
ready to listen to his ideas on
domestic and foreign policy and
forgive the moral indiscretion that
temporarily put him on the
sidelines.

. . The age of video has invaded the
' political arena. Campaign videos,
caoie television advertising ano
satellite interviews are giving presi
dential candidates local exposure
without the large expenditures of
network advertising.
"The VCR revolution permits
people to have the candidate in their
living rooms, allowing a larger grass
roots campaign," said John Sweeney,
assistant professor of journalism at
UNC.
More than half of American house
holds have VCRs, and almost 50
percent subscribe to cable television.
Many candidates are producing
biographical or issues-oriented videos
to use at home "video parties" for
fund-raising or gathering support,
Sweeney said.
It is a way of getting out the story
(about a candidate) that is less

expensive (than a network advertise
ment)," he said.
. Republican Gen. Alexander Haig
is producing; a -promotional' video
which should bereleased next Week,
said Tim McCook, assistant press
secretary for Haig's presidential
campaign.
Presidential candidate Sen. Paul
Simon, D-Ill., made a seven-minute
biographical video and has no plans,
to make another, said David Karle,
Simon's press secretary.
"We use it for organizing and fund
raising, to complement campaign
literature and policy papers," he said.
Republican candidates Sen. Bob
Dole, R-Kan., former Delaware Gov.
Pete du Pont and Pat Robertson have
made similar videos, their spokesmen
said.
Satellite interviews let candidates
conduct interviews all over the
country from a central location.
"To meet all the requests we have
for interviews, use of satellites is often
the only way," Karle said.
In November, Southern journalists
took turns interviewing Simon
through a satellite hookup in Miami,
Karle said. Massachusetts Gov..
Michael Dukakis used a similar
hookup in Texas to answer questions
from college students across the
country last fall, he said.
Advertising on cable television is.
cheaper than on the networks and
permits the candidate to target a
specific audience, but some candi
dates are choosing to stay with the
traditional 30- or 60-second spots on
network TV, spokesmen said.
"(The Haig campaign is) running
some advertisements in New Hamp
shire on network stations and playing
to the voter-at-large," McCook said.
Simon advertises on both Cable
News Network and the networks,
Karle said.
Sweeney points to the high cost of
producing commercials, and said that
candidates will concentrate more on
direct mail for raising money.
"Political advertising is going to be
less of an influence (than direct
mail)," he said.
