2 Friday, September 27,1996 m IN THE NEWS Tip writs from the state, station and world Senate upholds Clinton's late-term abortion veto WASHINGTON The Senate to day upheld President Clinton’s veto of a bill that would ban a procedure for late term abortions. The bill’s supporters promised to keep the issue alive during the election cam paign. Thes7-41 vote was nine shy of the two-thirds margin needed to overturn a presidential veto. Two of the 100 senators did not vote. An override vote in the House succeeded 285-137 last week. Opponents of abortion have made pro hibition of the procedure they call partial birth abortion their main goal of this legislative year. The bill’s demise moves the focus to the campaign, where it presents a vulner able issue for abortion-rights candidates. CLARKS FROM PAGE 1 “The real challenge is trying to find people to work for a common goal,” Henry Clark said. To make a dent in the required labor force, in 1992 Henry Clark started and encouraged partnerships among Sigma Nu fraternity, the chapter he was adviser to; Chi Omega sorority, the chapter that Blanche Clark was adviser to; and Chapel of the Cross, the Clarks’ church. Henry Clark said: “Habitat is a beau tiful activity that has multiple payoffs: one, providing homes for the economi cally distressed; tw0,... to give students the opportunity to get acquainted with leaders in town; and three, to give churches a chance to see that students don’t spend all their time in binge drink ing and irresponsible activities.” Robert Kraus, the program coordina tor at Orange County Habitat, said the notion of combining the groups was "What size is your resume?” .

House votes to expand Gingrich investigation WASHINGTON The House eth ics committee voted unanimously today to expand an investigation of Speaker Newt Gingrich to include whether he provided “accurate, reliable and com plete information” on the college course he taught. The committee,inawritten statement, said “certain facts have been discovered” during its inquiry that merit the expan sion. It was a crucial development in a case that has become steeped in election year politics. The inquiry, originally approved by the panel last December, focused on whether a college course taught by the Georgia Republican from 1993-95 was a political activity that violated tax laws. After the committee had alerted re porters that it would have an announce ment in connection with the protracted Gingrich investigation, the speaker re leased a letter asking the panel to make the decision public. unique to Orange County. Typically, a partnership is church-church, not church school. “(Clark) is one of the originators of the idea of getting funding and having stu dents as labor for the partnership,” Kraus said. “This is an active, progressive and creative approach.” Tim Burke, a senior from Marshfield, Mass., who volunteers with Habitat, said Henry Clark had worked a lot to mobi lize students. “He has a vision, spreading the word of Habitat,” Burke said. “He’s all about setting sights real high.” Despite the Clarks’ idealistic goals, the method of motivating people is not easy to execute. “How do you dramatize it so that you get participation?” Henry Clark said. “You need a little shock therapy.” The donation was definitely a jolt to the area. Forty-two area groups have been divided into partnerships, and the contribution is one of the largest Orange STATE & NATIONAL The expanded areas, under jurisdic tion of a four-member subcommittee of the ethics panel, include addressing whether Gingrich “provided accurate, reliable and complete information con cerning the course” and whether he pro vided accurate information on the rela tionship of GOPAC, his former political action committee, to the course. ValuJet given permission A* flu A n . Unu Cos Tiy 01101 may crasn WASHINGTON ValuJet got its wings back Thursday, winning federal permission to fly again three months af ter the budget carrier was grounded after a deadly crash and questions about its maintenance operations. “ValuJet has met all of the FAA’s requirements and they’ve met all of our requirements and we’ve certificated them to fly,” said John V. Coleman, director of the Transportation Department’s Office of Aviation Analysis. He said the airline is authorized to resume service “virtually immediately.” ValuJet management had no immedi ate response Thursday. The department said it reviewed ValuJet’s management and financial condition and concluded that it has “demonstrated a positive dis position to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.” FROM WIRE REPORTS County has ever received, Kraus said. The couple first became involved with Habitat after a trip to Jamaica where they said they saw “real struggles.” The two then pursued their interests with the local Habitat organization. “I became aware of Habitat early on because it so beautifully sought to ad dress the needs of the people that were at the bottom ofthe economic ladder, andit addressed the fundamental need of pro viding a home,” Henry Clark said. Burke said Clark’s goal was not unat tainable. “They’renotunrealisticgoals,” Burke said. “Dr. Clark has a strong faith and a sharp mind, and he puts them to use.” Henry Clark, who was UNC’s vice chancellor for medical affairs, said his upbringing encouraged this kind of volunteerism. “My family was socially conscious," he said. “I was brought up to believe, and I still believe, the most im portant thing in life is giving rather than receiving.” First Quality Mens & Womens Clothing & Shoes at l /2 OFF the regular price , Every Day! Ailing Graham to give last N.C. crusade BY ANNE CORBETT STAFF WRITER For the first time in 24 years, evange list Billy Graham is coming home to share the faith one last time. This weekend’s crusade in Graham’s hometown of Charlotte will probably be the last time the Billy Graham Crusade will come to North Carolina. Graham, in his 49th year of evangelism, suffers from Parkinson’s disease and has begun to reduce his involvement in the ministry. “I think it has partially to do with his wish to pass the torch of evangelism to his son Franklin,” said Yaakov Ariel, professor of religious studies at UNC. “It is significant that he is returning to his roots in North Carolina after reach ing so many people around the world; that he is bringing his ministry home,” said Thomas Tweed, professor of reli gious studies at UNC. WOMEN FROM PAGE 1 Lewis conceded that although progress had been made, unresolved issues still remained. “The gap has closed some, but there is still a problem with the economically disadvantaged,” Lewis said. In order to make a breakthrough, she said, “It will be a struggle and will con tinue to take a lot of time.” Chapel Hill Mayor Rosemary Waldorf has been a continued supporter of the womens’ commission and the efforts it has made. “Over the last 20 years it is dear that many more women have moved to lead Fridiy noon - There will be an interest session in Union 211 for Orientation Leader Recruit ment.

He does nottake sides. He went to Russia when it was still the U.S.S.R. because religion was more im- ership positions in town government, in the University and at the hospitals,” Waldorf said. “More women are economically self sufficient or are substantial financial con tributors to their family.” Waldorf said she saw the needs of the Women’s Coinmission as a priority and has extended her office to include re sponding to those concerns in the com munity. “Anything that my office can do to be supportive of women and children who are in distress, I would work to do,” Waldorf said.
