Texas selected as super collider site
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Texas beat
out six other states Thursday in a
high-stakes race to capture the $4.4
billion superconducting super col
lider, which, if Congress finds the
money to build it, would be the largest
scientific instrument ever
constructed.
The announcement by Energy
Department Secretary John Herring
ton drew immediate howls of protest
from the six losing states, where
officials had waged a year-long battle
to win the giant atom-smasher and
the jobs and scientific prestige that
will accrue to the project's home state.
"The Texas decision has a strong
smell of White House politics," said
Sen. Donald Riegle, D-Mich. "We
and the other five finalist states got
a raw deal."
Illinois officials also were angered,

"We're trying to get them and keep

they'll make a difference."

with House Minority Leader Robert
Michel calling on the president to
review Herrington's decision declar
ing Texas the preferred site for what
the department will name the Ronald
Reagan Center for High Energy
Physics.
Sen. Paul Simon, D-Ill., and Sen.
Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., said they
were asking Reagan and president
elect George Bush to halt confirma
tion of the site until the General
Accounting Office reviews the choice
and an independent commission
evaluates Herrington's rationale.
Herrington said the Texas site
some 16,000 farm acres in Ellis
County 35 miles south of Dallas
was "superior" to the others for
building the collider, a 53-mile
underground tunnel capable of whip
ping proton beams into each other
with 20 times the force of the world's
most powerful existing particle

recruitment should improve the low
numbers of black faculty members at
UNC. "We try to take a very active
stance rather than just advertising

The site would best "permit the
highest level of research productivity
and effectiveness" at a reasonable cost
of construction and with minimal
impact on the environment, Herring
ton said.
"I have to tell you there are no
politics in this," Herrington told a
news conference attended by such
prominent Texans as House Speaker
Jim Wright and Sen. Lloyd Bentsen,
both Democrats, and Sen. Phil
Gramm, a Republican.
The decision was announced two
days after Bush, an adopted Texan,
was elected president.
In addition to Arizona, Illinois and
Michigan, the other finalists were
Colorado, North Carolina and
Tennessee.
Questions remain whether money
ever will be appropriated to build the
super collider, an unprecedently
apply," she said.
Identifying potential employees
early and inviting black faculty from
other institutions to give lectures and
see the campus are other aspects of
active recruitment, Cell said.
Retention is important, too, Her
shey said. "We have worked hard to
maintain the very excellent black
faculty members that we currently
have."
UNC competes with salaries,
research support and equipment at
other institutions, Cell said. Reten-

powerful machine that physicists
hope will help them explain the very
origin of matter itself.
Many in Congress argue the pro
ject will starve other more useful
scientific research. Congress has kept
the project on a short leash, and only
agreed to provide $100 million this
year for research and engineering
design. None of that may be used for
construction.
Nonetheless, states eagerly sought
the project, which is expected to
create 3,000 scientific jobs and 3,500
construction jobs, great prestige and
a non-polluting industry with untold
scientific spinoffs for the host state.
. Herrington said the collider is
absolutely necessary to keep scientific
leadership in the United States.
"Most of the leadership in high
energy physics is headed for Europe,"
he said. "We need to keep those
people in the United States."

tion also depends on offers and
resources, spouse employment, and
reputation, she said.
"There are a lot of intangibles," she
said. "People don't just leave because
they got an offer from somewhere
else."
O'Connor said the University
Would intensify its retention efforts
to keep next year's employment level
more stable than this year's.

isolated, bizarre case, but one can't
assume that," he said. "We have to
take steps to correct it."

"The BCC of this campus would
make a statement to the nation about
UNC's commitment to minorities,"
she said.

Judge orders Bakkers, former
aide to repay PTL $7.5 million
From Associated Press reports
COLUMBIA, S.C. Jim and
Tammy Bakker, along with a
former top aide, must repay $7.5
million to PTL for taking more
money from the television ministry
than they deserved, U.S. Bank
ruptcy Judge Rufus Reynolds
ordered Thursday.
Reynolds said he determined
that the Bakkers and former PTL
vice president David Taggart were
overpaid during their last four
years at the ministry.
The current PTL administra
tion, in a lawsuit filed in February,
originally sought more than $50
million from the Bakkers and
Taggert.
Reynolds said Jim Bakker, who
founded PTL and left in March
1987 after admitting to a tryst with
former church secretary Jessica
Hahn, must pay PTL $4.9 million.
Tammy Bakker, his wife and
former co-host of the PTL Club
television show, must repay
$677,397, and Taggart must repay
$1 million.
In addition, Reynolds ordered,
Bakker and Taggart jointly must
repay PTL another $1 million.
Secret jet fighter revealed
WASHINGTON The U.S.
Air Force has been flying a
"Stealth" radar-evading jet fighter
for seven years, and now has about
50 of the planes at an isolated base
in Nevada, the Pentagon acknowl
edged Thursday.
Partially lifting a veil of secrecy
that has enveloped the plane from
its birth, the Pentagon and Air
Force released a photograph of the
unusual aircraft but declined to
discuss its capabilities. The limited
disclosures were made now
because the Air Force needs to
start flying the craft in daylight,
a spokesman said.
The Pentagon said the plane
had been declared operational and
ready for wartime missions in
October 1983, but that it first flew
in June 1981.
The photograph released by the
Pentagon depicts a relatively
small, swept-wing plane with a flat
underbelly. It somewhat resembles

no exterior markings.
The swept-back wings would
suggest the plane is capable of
flying at supersonic speeds, but the
Air Force declined to discuss the
matter. Military sources have said
the plane is designed for sneak
ground attacks and not air-to-air
dogfighting.
The Air Force has ordered 59
of the planes and 52 of them have
been delivered, Howard said.
Three of the planes have crashed ,
and two pilots have been killed,
the Air Force added.
Senate races over
MIAMI Conservative t
Republican Rep. Connie Mack III '
won a cliffhanger race over Rep.
Kenneth "Buddy" MacKay, a
moderate Democrat, for the seat
being relinquished by three-term '
Democratic Sen. Lawton Chiles.
Mack's narrow victory, based
on absentee ballots counted'
Thursday, decided the last of this
year's 33 Senate races. It means'
the Democrats will have a 55-45 -
majority, a gain of one seat, in the '
new U.S. Senate.
Hitler era praised
BONN, West Germany The
president of parliament called the '
early years of the Hitler era a
"glorious" time for many Ger
mans, triggering a walkout during .
the government's ceremony
Thursday marking the
Kristallnacht.
The remarks by Philipp Jennin
ger led to demands for his resig
nation by members of the oppos
ing Greens and Social Democrats,
who were among about 50 who
marched out of the hall during the
nationally televised speech to
parliament.
Jenninger's address threatened
to overshadow West Germany's
carefully planned ceremonies
marking the 50th anniversary of
the Kristallnacht, the night the
Nazis began their first organized
push against the Jews.
It brings out
