. In a race decided by only 1.46
percent of the vote or less than
31 000 votes Republican lieutenant
governor candidate Jim Gardner
claimed victory during a speech at 3
a.m. Wednesday at the Velvet Cloak
Inn in Raleigh. But Democratic
candidate Tony Rand refused to
concede the election, which would
make Gardner the first Republican
to hold the office this century.
The Board of Elections had not
declared the results final by Wednes
day evening.
"We did a better job campaigning,"
said Paul Richardson, Gardner's
campaign manager, in a telephone
interview Wednesday. "Winning that
close shows an excellent campaign
effort.
"We were on an excellent ticket.
Bush and Martin really helped us with
their support," he said.
When told that Rand had yet to
concede, Richardson said, "I guess he
really is a crybaby.'"

Students protested against threats
to freedom of speech at a rally in the
Pit Wednesday organized by
members of the Chapel Hill Coalition
for Freedom to Dissent (CFD).
Within the last month, two UNC
students and CFD members, Joel
Segal and Anne Duehring, have had
their homes broken into and threats
"made against their lives because of
their activism, said Christine Ken
drot, CFD member.
As the threats continued we knew
we? had to do something," Kendrot
said. "We wanted to inform the
students about what has been going
on. People can read it in the news
paper, but when they can see the
people and hear what they have to
say, it becomes reality. These threats
are not just to these two people, but
to all people."
Joel Segal demanded that Univer
sity and community officials issue a
statement condemning the threats.
"I want to issue a demand and 1
want a response from University
officials, the town council, Chancellor
Hardin and the mayor of Chapel
Hill," Segal said. "And 1 want it

Segal said: "This is not a Repub
lican or Democratic or liberal or
conservative issue. It isn't just about
First Amendment rights, but it is a
life and death issue."
Within the last month Segal said
he has received repeated threats
against his life.
"I received a threat saying that they
were going to blow my brains out,"
he said. "I have never been more
scared in my life. It is very hard to
walk around campus and the law
school and the grocery store worrying
about someone blowing my brains
out.
"These people didn't like our
protest involving (Indian activist)
Eddie (Hatcher). We just didn't like
the idea that Eddie was going to trial
without an attorney. We never said
what he did was right," Segal said.
The second student to receive death
threats, Anne Duehring, also spoke
to the crowd.
"They think they can shut us up
through intimidation," Duehring
said. "I'm scared, but I can tell you,
it's not going to stop me.

in a libel lawsuit. "It would be
problematic to have a telephone
conversation," she said.
Rand will continue the libel suit
against Gardner, Bass said. "The
libelous ads definitely had some
impact on the campaign," she said.
The suit stems from a television ad
run by the Gardner campaign claim
ing Rand harbored a drug fugitive
in his apartment and helped him
escape. Rand said the ad was false,
but Gardner stood by its accuracy,
"(The suit) is really a political stunt.
I think it backfired," Richardson said.
"It is inconceivable that he can win,
because the ad is true."
Lawyers from the Republican
Party are handling the suit, he said.
"To some extent, public figures
may give up some rights about what
people say about them. The extent
they give up is what the lawsuit is
about," said Allan Head, executive
director of the N.C. Bar Association.

The 1988 election negatively
affected attitudes about politics in
general, according to students,
.faculty and staff interviewed
Wednesday.
"Politicians today give no inspi
ration for a young person who
might be interested in going into :
politics," said Steve Tepper, senior
class president. "It would have been
nice to live during the times of
politicians like Roosevelt and
Kennedy."
Twenty-eight of the 30 people
interviewed said they were dis
pleased with the way the campaigns
were run. They were disappointed
. in the negative advertisements, the
way the news media handled the
campaigns, the lack of discussion
of important issues and the lack
of qualified candidates.
"I think this election pointed out
s the fact that politics have become
a media game and that is not good,"
said Branson Edwards, a graduate
student from Edenton. "The media

Twenty-four of the 30 people
questioned voted in the election.
Most of those who didnt vote said
the candidates failed to excite them.
I think people are sick of the
choices they have," said Robby
Byrd, a junior from Fayetteville. "I
didn't like Bush and I didn't like
Dukakis. I guess that I wouid have
voted for Bush, but J didn't really
have a preference."
All but two people questioned
said they were glad the election is
over. The two who disagreed said
that if Dukakis had more time he
would have won.
"If it had gone on longer, Duka
kis would have come back and
won," said Russ Barns,, a sopho

Some students said they were
glad the barrage of campaign
advertisements is over. "I'm tired
of watching all those political
