4The Daily Tar HeelMonday, August 31, 1992 Texas voters could decide election By Steve Harris StaffWritcr Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Sen. Al Gore wound up their bus tour through Texas last week, ending a vigorous cam paign to win votes in the state President Bush calls home. Texas is a prize state with 32 of the electoral votes that both campaigns must secure in order to win the Nov. 3 elec tion. Although the Democrats have not won in Texas since Jimmy Carter's victory there in 1976, this year, with a popular Southern governor on the ticket, they may have a good chance of taking the state. Unlike the 1988 campaign, in which he easily won Texas against former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, Bush is struggling to hold on to the Lone Star State. 610 West Fif nklln Shirt f Chapel Hill, North Carolina MM SEMESTER Most communications from the Registrar & other campus offices come to you via the U.S. Mail.

"(The Republi can National Con vention) had no sticking power for J2 Bush Bush, said Gary Nordlinger, president of Nordlinger Associates, a Washington, D.C., politi cal think tank. Nordlinger said that Democrats who voted for Reagan in the 1980s were a pivotal group in the election. "Reagan Democrats are about 1 1 percent of the electorate and could decide the election since both candidates are hovering University of Wisconsin-Platteville "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost.

"Clinton and Gore are Demo cratic candidates that people can vote for 7i Clinton whereas Bush is often perceived as a blood-blue, patrician Yalie," Nordlinger said. While touring Texas, the Clinton campaign attacked Bush primarily on the economy, the issue most political experts say is the most important to Texans. The Bush campaign struck back at 20 for spring semester application packet, write or call: Mi Clinton, claiming he raised taxes 128 times as governor of Arkansas. Some experts say such charges will have little effect in Clinton's home state whose six electoral votes he probably will win. Diane Blair, a professor of political science at the University of Arkansas presently working for the Clinton-Gore campaign, said that the issue of the 1 28 tax increases was resurrected from Ar kansas' last gubernatorial race and at the time was "dismissed as complete nonsense by (Arkansas') leading news paper." Blair said that the increases the Bush campaign listed included such measures as "increasing fees for DWI" offenses. Bush faces another threat in the battle for Texas Ross Perot. Although he pulled out of the race in July, Perot' s popularity still poses prob lems for the Bush campaign in Texas. Robert Stein, a political science pro fessor at Rice University in Houston, Texas, said an August poll showed more Perot supporters are favoring Clinton than Bush. The Rice University poll showed 44 percent of Perot's original supporters now back Clinton, 16 percent favor Bush, and 33 percent remain loyal to Perot. "With Perot and other fringe candi dates in the race, the candidate that wins the (electoral votes in Texas) will not likely win the popular vote," said Stein.

The fighting was the biggest single clash between soldiers and guerrillas in this southeastern province since the Kurdish rebels began fighting in 1984 to seek self-rule in the region. The governor's office said the guer rillas' death toll was believed to be higher because the rebels were seen carrying some bodies back to their hide outs in Iran. Twelve Turkish soldiers were wounded in the clash. Turkey made two retaliatory air strikes last week inside northern Iraq, where Kurds also have bases. The fighting Sunday began when the rebels infiltrated into Turkey from Iran and attacked a military post near the border village of Alan with automatic weapons and rocket launchers, the governor's office said.

Simel872 Palestinian prisoners to be released in Israel JERUSALEM Israel will begin releasing 600 Palestinian prisoners this week as a conciliatory measure in the ongoing peace talks, the army said Sun day. The prisoners will be released start ing Monday, an army statement said. They will be bused from the Ansar UJ prison in the Negev desert to the border with the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel promised to release up to 800 detainees when peace talks resumed in Washington last week. The talks are the first since the left-leaning Labor gov ernment led by Yitzhak Rabin succeeded the hard-line Likud party in June. : Most of the Palestinians to be freed are held for what Israel calls security reasons. The army statement cited Israel's "decision to ease conditions" in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip as the reason for the prisoners' release. The army says 7,400 Palestinians are held in Israeli military detention cen ters. Of those, 4,660 have been con victed of anti-Israel activity . Some have been imprisoned without charges under emergency regulations in the occupied territories. Jewish residents fight to keep Golan Heights : JERUSALEM Jewish settlers in the Golan Heights, nervous about peace negotiations with Syria, stepped up de mands Sunday that Israel refuse to give up any of the strategic plateau. The settlers met with Parliament members in the Golan town of Katzrin, and some urged a general strike to make the rest of Israel take notice. Settlers and politicians began voic ing concern last week when Israel's delegation to the peace talks announced that U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 which calls for trading land for peace applied to the Golan. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin told parliament members a day later that Israel would not come down off the heights but need not "hold onto every centimeter" of the territory. He said he would not follow the precedent set by the 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, in which Israel pledged to return all Egyptian territory it had seized.
