Rocket Launch Students who participated in the Math and Science Academy for Excellence recently ended their session on a high note as they launched the rockets they made during science class. Students constructed and decorated their own rockets , and tiny engines were used to fire them off. The launch concluded a science class taught by Valerie Davis. In order to understand how the rocket could lift off, students learned about Newton s laws of motion and forces, such as gravity, drag , thrust and lift Academy assistants helped students load the rockets onto the launcher in preparation for lift off. Walter Marshall to Fight Random from Pa%e 1 would be no discrimination." he said. The possibility for discrimina tion arises. Marshall said, because there would be no one to monitor if school personnel stayed true to a certain formulaUn a random searofc. such as every third student. "They can't make sure that it s going to be used right." Marshall said. Piggot, who is black, agreed ? that there is a possibility of dis crimination with run Jnm searching >? He added that in most policies there is a possibility of misuse, but those applying the policy must be respon sible and carry it out fairly. * "Those applying the policy must show some integrity." he said. "If they say every fifth kid. it must be every fifth kid. whether they are gr?en or blue." Jessup said the responsibility of conducting the searches fairly would be with school administra tors. ^flso. in most cases, schools would ask that liaison- officers for the Sheriffs Department be present. - Jessup added thai teachers may-be involved with conducting searches if a situation arose that warranted a search of all the student b$dy; Marshall and Piggot share a Concern about Fourth Amendment violations with random searching. But Jessup^said if the policy is car ried out the way Punger proposes, the school system would not have to worry about le'gal ramifications. He added that Punger has been really conservative on the issue of metal detectors because ot the Fourth Amendments After the policy board votes on the t*Nue. it wtll appear before the entire school board, for final approval. ? :i ? 1 I "...

Princess Pat Rhodes-Landingham is the com mandress. Sir Knight Weldon Hay is the chief engineer. Eminent Commander Hessie Smith and the sponsoring Knights Temple will co host the anniversary. Pat Rhodes-Landingham Todd Burke, t Pansy Glanton To Vie For Superior Court Seat frontpage l perhaps neither ? is likely to get it when the seat becomes vacant. 'I think 1 have the temperament and ThlT ah VI i t \ to he a lair and impartial judge ' Glanton s;>id Wednesday morning'in an inter veiw. "And I think we need a woman in Superior Court.' Glanton has worked in the ? Forsyth County district attorney's ? office since 1987. which was .short" ? ly after she left the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas ? Southern University. She graduated. ? with honors from North Carolina ? Central University in 1983. Burke, a graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta and North Carolina Central's law > school, worked briefly as an assis tant district attorney in Kinston before joining the district attorne> s office here. In 1991. the Winston "Salem native went into private prac tice with Billv D, Friende. Burke has- experience prosecuting jury cases on the dis trict and super ior court level. He Specializes in civil and criminal law. \. For both Glanton and Burke, it has been a wait-and-see game. For either to be considered for the* Superior Court, there has to be a vacancy ? and that appears immi nent. The FBI and the American Bar Association are conducting background checks on Forsyth County Superior Court Judge James A. Beaty Jr. to confirm his fitness as the new U.S. District Court judge in the state s MiddJe District to replace senior federal Judge Richard C. Ervvin. __ " Yeh. Lam interested have let my interest be known in the event that (Beaty's) nominated and there becomes a vac an cy." B urke said. Erwin retired in November 1992. but President Clinton has not nominated anyone to replace him. "I'm just carrying on until a judge comes. There's no way to tell when that will be," he said. Erwin said the federal judge ship in the Middle District is one of approximately 80 judgeships for which President Clinton must make a nomination. "The FBI and the ABA are looking at (Beaty's) qualifications and as soon as they are ready they will send it to the president who'll send it the Senate for confirmation," he said. Erwin said filling the vacancy in North Carolina may not be President Clinton's top priority. "The president did not carry North Carolina, so if Illinois has a vacancy and 1 carried that state. 1 Mitchell, Martin Seek Seat on from page 1 ethnic background. I fee) I have strong people skills and 1 feel very qualified after practicing law for 14 years. I know the law and would apply it fairly, appropriately and compassionately." Martin graduated from Wake Forest University's law school in 1978 and has been an assistant county attorney since 1988. Prior to that she was a general practitioner specializing in criminal, traffic and personal injury law. Mitchell, also a graduate of Wake Forest's law school, said the judgeship would allow her to con tinue in her role as a conduit of the community and the legal system. "I see it as a further opportuni ty for me to give something back to the community ? to have some impact." Mitchell said in a recent interview. Interestingly enough, the seat that they are seeking is being vacat ed by Biggs, in part, because of her inability to have an impact. Biggs said that as a judge she could not have the type of influence she wanted to have in the community. At the U.S. attorney's office. Biggs will have more of an impact ^because she will coordinate crime prevention efforts in the Middle District. Mitchell, however, said judges can have an impact. If she wins the appointment, one way that she hopes to make an impact is to look at alternatives to incarceration and treat fairly those who appear Jbefore her. "As a judge you have an opportunity to see that people are treated fairly." Mitchell said. "1 agree that you are limited to a cer tain degree. You don't make the law ? you enforce the laws that are there. But you can ensure that it is meted out fairly." Mitchell, a native of New York City wrfo now lives in Bethania, graduated from Wake Forest law school in 1979 and has been a solo practitioner ever since, specializing in residential, commercial and civil law. Biggs' departure leaves only one African American ? Judge Roland Hayes ? and one woman ? Judge Margaret Sharpe ? among the remaining six judges in District Court. Mitchell and Martin agree that it is important to maintain an ethnic and gender balance. Mitchell said she would add a perspective to the bench that a white person could not. "It makes a difference in how you perceive the person before you," she said. "The fact that you came from what is referred to as a non-traditional home should not mean that you are more harshly treated than someone who comes from an environment you might consider traditional and normal. I have had exposure to the non-tradi tional and would not judge them in a harsh way." The Forsyth County Bar will meet Aug. 3 to vote on what three names will be submitted to the governor. The meeting will be at 4 p.m. at the Hall of Justice. Should the governor fail to make an appointment within 60 days after receiving the list of can didates. the judgeship goes to the bar member with the highest num ber of votes. Others seeking the nomination are Anne Connolly; Lawrence J. Fine. Lisa Menefee and Ronald E. Spivey. Martin. 40. is married and has two children, ages 13 and 7. Mitchell, who declined to reveal her age. is separated from her hus band. They have no children.
