Packwood To Fight Bork
Nomination: Others
Undecided
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
* Packwood on Monday
Hme the first Northwest,
utor to take a stand on Robert
rt’s nomination to the U.S.
■pteme Court, saying he op-
tethe appointment because he
tits the federal appeals judge
'Mid work to limit individual
will vote and fight against
le Bork’s nomination,” the
*'t8on Republican told a news
•ilerence, adding he would be
'ling to join in a filibuster to
Itk Senate confirmation of
Other Northwest senator have
H they will wait until the
•ate Judiciary Committee
’•Pletes hearings before mak-
! a decision on the Bork
aiination.
fackwood said it was too early
111 whether the full Senate will
trove the nomination, but ad-
■llie would be talking to up to
illier Republican senators to
ton his opposition.
Packwood said Bork’s
•rinony last week before the
•ate Judiciary Committee
^ it clear he remains a harsh
ti of privacy rights as defined
le Supreme Court over the
[six decades.
f i hud decided 1 would vote
1st him unless he convinced
me otherwise, and he didn’t,”
Packwood said.
“After listening to Judge Bork
in the hearings, and more impor
tantly, after meeting with him
twice personally, 1 am convinced
that Judge Bork feels so strongly
opposed ‘o the right of privacy
that he will do everything possi
ble to cut and trim the liberties
that the right of privacy
protects,” Packwood said.
A strong advocate of abortion
rights, Packwood said he is con
vinced that Bork “will do
everything he can to reverse the
private right of an individual
woman to choose whether or not
to have an abortion.”
Packwood said that during his
25 years in elected office he has
seen a “consistent pattern” of
government trying to limit in
dividual rights and that he would
support a Supreme Court
nominee “who would not only
defend existing liberties, but ex
pand them.”
Bork fails that litmus test,
Packwood said.
“Given my view that we should
preserve and protect those liber
ties we now have so that we, in
turn, can pass them on to our
children a bit more secure than
we received them from our
parents, 1 have no choice but to

Augustine’s College received the
1987-88 Phi Beta Kappa Award
from the Wake County Associa
tion (Aplhp of North Carolina).
The award was presented during
the fall banquet held at the North
Carolina Museum of art on Sept.
10.
Dr. Clauston Jenkins, presi
dent of St. Mary’s College in
Raleigh made the presentation.
Robinson was cited for his
“superior intellectual qualities
dedicated to the advancement of
scholarly endeavor, human rela
tions, and the cultural and
religious affairs during a
distinguished career characteriz
ed by diligence, compassion, in
tegrity and wisdom.”
Jenkins called Robinson’s con
tribution to education outstan
ding. He said Robinson upheld
all Phi Beta Kappa standards in
the area of education, as presi
dent of St. Augustine’s, as a
member of the North Carolina
State Board of Education, and at
national and international levels.
As a recipient of the award
Robinson joins other distinguish
ed citizens of Wake County in
cluding Chancellor John T.
Caldwell of N.C. State Universi
ty, former N.C. Supreme Court
Justice Susie Sharp; Neil
Hirschberg and others.
The association noted that
Robinson deserves to be among
this company because during his
career he has made the right
choices rather than the easy
choices and has steadfastly stood
for quality in education both as
St. Augustine’s president and as a
member of the State Board of
Education.
In accepting the award, Robin
son said the education of our
young people was important,
because, he added, “I know that
education is a tremendous
equalizer. It not only provides all
of youth an opportunity to
become contributing members of
our society, but it helps to keep
this country of ours great.”
“1 am both proud and humbl
ed by such a recognition,” he
said. Robinson becomes the first
black educator to be honored
with the award by the Wake
County Chapter.
The Wake County Phi Beta
Kappa Association is affiliated
with the United Chapters of Phi
Beta Kappa and established its
Phi Beta Kappa Award in 1978.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — As
the bicentennial pomp of the
Constitution waned, Jesse
Jackson pointed to the “un
finished business” of economic
and civil rights and the dangers of
corporate “multinational
slavemasters.”
Jackson addressed about 400
people Friday night at a forum
titled “To Form A More Perfect ,
Union,” after festivities earlier in
the day returned the state
Legislature to Philadelphia for its
first session here in 175 years.
The celebration of the signing
of the Constitution on Sept. 17,
1787 wrapped up Saturday and
Sunday with a picnic on the city’s
restored waterfront.
Speaking with Jackson at Fri
day night’s forum were Eleanor
Smeal, former president of the
National Organization for
Women, and Ramsey Clark,
former U.S. attorney general.
Clark accused the Reagan ad
ministration of military interven
tionism, while Ms. Smeal de
nounced Supreme Court nominee
Robert Bork and told the crowd
not to give up on liberal causes
such as the Equal Rights Amend
ment.
“We’ve been ignored so many
times that we ourselves forget
we’re the majority,” she said, ad
ding that three of four Americans
favor the ERA.
“Lack of an economic rights
and Equal Rights Amendment

VANCOUVER, B.C. (AP) —

Supreme Court judge and

For Justice J.V. dyne says
clumsy and ill-defined federal im
migration policies could create a

“1 don’t think that should hap

Friday. “I’d not want to see us
cease to be a white country.
“We certainly should put a
stop to illegal immigrants and,
also, immigrants should be quan

not opposed to people coming
from Third World countries but
