The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, February 28, 19909, Seat belt wearers get tickets riglht om tSie From Associated Press reports Huckle up for bucks CHARLESTON, W.Va. Buck ling up may pay off some day in West Virginia. State Sen. Ned Jones introduced a hill Monday that would give police officers the authority to hand out lot tery tickets to belt-wearing motorists. ;Hic bill would exclude drunken driv ers or motorists who violate the speed limit by more than 10 mph. It would be up to the state police to figure out how to dole out the lottery tickets, which would not be awarded unless all occupants of the auto had their seat belts on. The Legislature recently voted down a bill to require motorists to wear seat belts. Jones said his approach is just the ticket. "Now we're using the carrot instead of the stick." Manure monument to salvation ALTADl-NA. Calif. To Zeke the Sheik, the giant heap of manure in his back yard is a monument to worldwide salvation. Local authorities see it as a big pile of something else. Timothy Dundon, whose sartorial Minor major-level courses are needed, one of , which must be advanced composition, ; he said. ; Cathy Cash, administrative manager of the geology department, said there is not much difference between a major and a minor except a few more hours of credit. "But if it introduces that many more people to geology, the better for us," she said. A minor program will also be of fered in dramatic arts which will in clude literature, history and criticism, but not performance and production, said Milly Barranger, Department of Dramatic Arts chairwoman.

He had a vision and a mission to create a "living monument" that would save everyone in the world from a coming firestorm of destruction. The compost pile with onions and cactus growing out of it has taken on all sorts of symbolic significance, Dundon says. "This is alive." Horsefcathers, say Los Angeles County fire and health officials, who see it as a giant, smelly health hazard that could catch fire and set the neigh borhood ablaze.

One of the concerns faculty mem bers have is that some minor require ments may apply to majors in other departments, Kennedy said. Overlap ping courses could mean that students don't need as many courses to com plete requirements, he said.

A historic gingko tree, believed planted 136 years ago by the founder of this vil lage, attracts admirers from all over. Phooey, says its owner, it's a nui sance and should be chopped down. "The tree is smelly, messy and very brittle, making it a hazard to the chil dren who are continually climbing it," said Patrick Gillespie. "Besides, I am the one responsible for maintaining it, and it is quite a job." Mayor Scott Newberg said a na tional society of gingko tree admirers frequently has its annual meeting here because of the 100-foot tree. Gillespie is aware of the tree's his toric value and says he's wrestled with his conscience for years before decid ing the "rational thing to do" is cut it down. In addition to raking up its leaves in the fall, Gillespie says he must have the tree sprayed to prevent the growth of its nuts, which form inside plum-like fleshy fruits that stink like rancid butter.

"Our major res ervation is that people will choose a minor instead of a second major," he said. Edward Barry, acting director of Undergraduate Studies for the biology department, said he was not sure if a minor was being discussed in his de partment. He said he felt a minor was not needed because students may lose flexibility in choosing courses if spe cific requirements are made. As long as the courses are listed on a student's transcript, declaring a minor is unnec essary, he said. m iu VMM'S 10UR SCORE FOR. ZQFMGB? 957.

Wondering where that hubcap disappeared to? You might want to start with George Huskins. Huskins, 58, collects all those shiny wheel covers that fall by the roadside. He's got 41,000 in more than 3,100 styles, from tri-spoke caps for a Stude baker to the Checker Cabs and Indiana State Police varieties. Huskins, who has been hub-hunting for four years, estimates that 7,000 types have been manufactured since the first automobile rolled off an assembly line. Today's versions are usually made of plastic to cut costs, and they tend to fall off, he said. "They make them a lot cheaper now, especially the after-market (re placement) caps," Huskins said. Huskins regularly ships hubcaps across the United States and Canada Delegation Republicans took over Chapel Hill." "For those people who were very loyal to the government it was a real shock," said I lenry Landsberger, a UNC sociology professor and delegate. Joseph agreed. "Many people, young and old, were crying because they thought 1 0 years of hard work had been set back." The other purpose of the trip, to visit the town and people of San Jorge, was Majority around the polishes were reported. "The opposition was laboring to leave a record behind of possible violations in case they lost," he said. While the Sandinistas still stand as the largest single party in Nicaragua, Chamorro's win ended the group's 10 year reign over the government. Her win was helped by the formation of the United Nationalist Opposition (UNO), a fractious group of 14 differ ent far right- and far left-wing alli ances. UNO was formed specifically to help get Chamorro in power, said Knut Walter, a visiting professor of history at UNC. "Chamorro herself isn't a member of any party," Hope said. "She is run ning on her husband's name, who is known as a great patriot in Nicaragua. But even her own family is divided on who to support." Hope said Chamorro won Monday's elections over two main issues: an end to the Contra War that has plagued Nicaragua for 10 years and the ineffec tiveness of the Sandinistas in control ling the nation's economy. "People are tired of Ortega and his regime," he said, "They just want peace so they voted with their stomachs," Hope said. In addition, the Bush administration gave UNO $12.5 million and assured Nicaraguans that an embargo placed on them during the Reagan administration would be lifted if Chamorro won the election, Walter said. This in turn would lead to better relations with the United States, he said. "It's most likely that America will normalize relations within the very near future." Chamorro's effectiveness as presi dent depends on her ability to unify the various factions and establish better relations with the Sandinistas, Walter said. "If she (Chamorro) wants to stay in power for the full six years of her term, she needs to cut some deals with the Sandinistas." The Sandinistas, while honoring the election as legitimate, still control the Laserset Resumes CO.

His collection includes many hub caps from the past Dort, Whippet, Flash, Rio, Durant Edsel, Avanti and besides being a novelty, some are worth their weight. His most expensive hubcap is a $300 Auburn 12, from the limited-run cars manufactured in Auburn during the early part of the century. A spoked cap that was mounted over a spare tire on the back of a 1934 Ford sells for $200. Feline fest finds Top Cat TOKYO A cat with a luxuriant mustache and another with the reputed ability to warn of potential molesters won their owners cash prizes Thursday in a Cat Day Festival. The judges considered the distinc tive characteristics of 120 cats in se lecting the winner of the fourth an nual festival for finding Japan's top also successful, and the new political leaders should continue the relation ship between Chapel Hill and San Jorge, Herzenberg said. While in San Jorge, the delegates met with the people and were well received. They delivered school and medical supplies to the fishing and agricultural community, as well as $2,500 to build a new high school. Among the supplies was baseball equip ment donated by Miles Wolff, owner of police forces, the military and labor unions. "The next several months will be a testing time for her," he said.

"We do general recruiting sessions and anyone who conies can get in volved. Everyone who wants funds is going to come up with a statement."
