With the Christmas season drawing
near, local store managers are pre
paring for a shopping season as strong
as in past years.
Thanksgiving weekend, usually a
busy time for holiday sales, appears to
have been successful this year despite
reports of a national recession and
unseasonably warm weather, local
merchants said.
Sam Grist, University Mall man
ager, said stores were reporting sales
ahead of or comparable to last year's
profits.
"So far, traffic has been good,"
Grist said. "It started slow but built
into a good weekend."

Steve Kronberger of Whims Cards &
Gifts on Franklin Street said sales were
"pretty satisfactory this weekend." He
added that the sellout basketball game
Saturday between UNC and San Diego
State brought in traffic and helped local

Area merchants said the possible
economic recession has had little effect
on shoppers this season. Grist said warm
weather had played the largest role in
keeping shoppers out of the malls.
"We are hoping for a cold front to
come through," he said. "Most people

it's 70 degrees outside."

Students will have the opportunity to
learn more about attitudes and legal

college campuses at a forum in Howell
Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. today.
Women in Law, an organization at
the law school, is sponsoring the forum,

James Cansler, associate vice chan

Officials unsure of education solutions
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH State leaders agree
that North Carolina has problems in
its educational system, but they don't
see eye-to-eye on how to correct them.
A recent meeting on the Task Force
on Excellence in Secondary Education
typified the divergence between the
two sides. One group contended that
the Scholastic Aptitude Test was an
indictment of the state's difficulties,
while the other group tried to put edu
cation in its best light.
Richardson Preyer, the chairman
of the task force, urged moderation.
"We don't want to throw the baby out
with the bath water."
Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe,
urged the panel not to turn its back on
college-trained and certified teachers
just because of past results.
"If the training isn't good, we need
to fix it," he said.
"Current practices have brought us

That history, however, had its roots
in an agrarian society whose labor

"In most cases, an education that

identified in the state's graduation
requirement test, was sufficient," the
draft report stated.
The report noted that North Caro

"compensate for the educational in
adequacies of elementary and sec

The report was often critical of
