tured in the tour of the district are the
Chi Phi and Chi Psi fraternity houses.
Johnson said this would be the first
year fraternity houses would be featured
in the tour.
“(These houses) were chosen because
they have both been recently renovated,”
she said. “It’s good public relations for
the fraternities. We hope there will be
some students on duty to host the tour of
their home.”
Sandy Alexander, president of Chi
Psi fraternity, said he was not sure

would be included in the tour.
“They contacted us earlier about
being on the tour, but now we’re not
sure if we’re on,” he said.
Johnson said a Habitat for Humanity
home would also be featured in this
year’s tour. She said it was the first time
a Habitat house would be featured and
the decision to do so was a good idea.
“It’s great to show what can be done
with a good heart,” she said. “(The
Habitat house) is a contrast, but it’s good
to spread the Christmas spirit around.”
Bitty Holton, a member and past
president of the Preservation Society,
will decorate the Habitat house.
New law removes loophole,
plans to limit tobacco sales
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE A tougher state
law banning tobacco sales to minors
goes into effect today, but whether it will
actually reduce the number of teen-age
smokers remains to be seen.
The new law, approved by the
General Assembly in August, removes a
legal loophole that made it nearly
impossible to prosecute cases of illegal
tobacco sales to people younger than 18.
For the past six years, the law speci
fied that “knowingly” selling cigarettes
to a minor is prohibited. The wording
made it difficult for prosecutors to prove
that a clerk knew he or she was selling to
an underage buyer.
As of today, minors who buy ciga
rettes —and clerks who sell them can
be charged with misdemeanors, punish
able by up to 30 days of community ser
vice and fines of SI,OOO. Under the old
law, a minor was charged only with an
infraction, with a $25 fine.
The revised law also requires check
ing photo identification of people who
look younger than 18, controlling vend
ing machine sales and training clerks
and posting signs about the law.
Monday
3:30 p.m. University Career Services
will sponsor a workshop on “Resume
Writing,” in 209 Hanes Hall. This program is
open to all interested students.

“I particularly wanted to decorate
this house. Decorating this house is
meaningful,” Holton said.
Holton said she would primarily use
natural greens and ribbons to decorate
the house. “I want people to see the
house,” she said. “It’s an extraordinarily
well-built house.”
Ross Leadbetter, a local farmer, will
donate a Christmas tree to the house.
“The owner of the house, Anne
Mason, will decorate the tree with her
own decorations,” Holton said. “I think
that should be a personal thing."
“This will give people a chance to see
what Habitat does.”
Health advocates say the law is a
good starting point but caution that
damping down on sales to minors is
only one part of what the state needs to
do to reduce teenage smoking.
Glenna Davenport-Cook, a Charlotte
tobacco educator who is training school
personnel across the state to help teens
resist cigarettes, predicts that the new
law will help keep some teens away
from tobacco, but says worried parents
shouldn’t pin all their hopes on efforts to
curb sales to teens.
“It’s the American way to want one
single step to produce sweeping change,
but it’s a lot of little bitty things that
make the difference,” she said.
Some states, such as Mississippi and
Massachusetts, are complementing sales
restrictions with other strategies, such as
anti-smoking advertising, enhanced
tobacco education in schools, public
smoking bans and parental involvement.
Attorney General Mike Easley, who
drafted and pushed for a better law, is
cautiously optimistic that teens will
think twice about buying cigarettes, now
that they can be charged with a misde
meanor.

Astronauts
to withhold
new satellite
B NASA officials said they -
would attempt to release
the satellite in the future.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space
shuttle Columbia’s astronauts will not
set loose a satellite that they rescued in ,
a spacewalk last week, NASA decided
Sunday after considerable debate.
Mission managers reviewed a variety
of options but finally concluded —a;
day earlier than expected that it was
unfeasible to release the Spartan satel
lite a second time and attempt to salvage
its sun-studying mission.
The shuttle simply does not have,
enough fuel to support another satellite:
retrieval, said mission operations direc-:
tor Lee Briscoe. -
“If you were deploying a brand new,
fresh spacecraft, you wouldn’t do it.
under those circumstances,” Briscoe
explained at a hastily arranged news:
conference.
“So here’s a case where we have the
Spartan in the bay. We have it. It’s a
healthy spacecraft. We can bring it back.
If you were to deploy it under these,
kinds of propellant margins, you could ;
stand a 40 or 50 percent chance of not
bringing it back” if you ran into any
kind of trouble, he said.
NASA had hoped to release the $lO.
million Spartan satellite for 18 hours,
less than half the time it was supposed,
to fly free of Columbia and observe the
sun’s charged outer atmosphere.
Columbia’s six astronauts were
asleep when the decision was made.
Mission Control planned to inform
them of the disappointing news when .
they awakened later in the day.
Spartan turned out to be nothing but
trouble for the astronauts, quite possibly
through their own fault.
Unknown to anyone at the time, the
satellite failed to receive a crucial com
puter command before it was set loose
on Nov. 21 because of either a software
problem or crew error, Briscoe said.
When astronaut Kalpana Chawla ;
tried to grab the satellite with the shut-,
tie robot arm, she inadvertently sent it -
into a slow spin. .. ..
To scientists’ dismay, no solar obser-.
various could be made.
Three days after its botched release,
astronauts Winston Scott and Takao
Doi caught the 3,000-pound satellite
with their gloved hands during a six
hour spacewalk.
“Spartan, we believe, is in good
shape.
“We’ll bring it back, see if there’s,
anything we can learn from it,” Briscoe
said.
