Qllje Sailg ®ar Hppl Search for Survivors Ends Associated Press PORT HUENEME, Calif. - Authorities on Wednesday abandoned the search for survivors of a downed Alaska Airlines jetliner as investigators sought clues from taped talks between a Seatde maintenance crew and the pilots who struggled to keep control of the plane. Dozens of boats will remain on the water to search for wreckage that may shed light on the cause of Monday’s crash. The plane was en route to San Francisco when it went down with 88 people on board. “We have far exceeded our estimate of survivability,” Coast Guard Adm. Thomas Collins said. “We have tried to give every chance for success in finding survivors. I think we have reached that point.” The Coast Guard delayed its announcement to allow time to inform families of the victims of their decision. Friends and relatives of the victims had kept an anguished vigil earlier GOTHAM From Page 3 To curb possible problems, partygo ers will be told at the door that Insomnia will be attended by gays and lesbians. OREGON From Page 3 almost every quantifiable category, including faculty salaries and research grants. The main cause of the stagnation, according to political leaders and the Oregonian series, was a lack of public support, and in turn, legislative support for the system. Major tax cuts in the early 1990s forced significant tuition increases, low ering the quality and accessibility of a state university education, Graves said. Also, Oregon’s economy has long been centered around tapping natural resources, much like North Carolina’s. But while North Carolina began shift ing its economic focus to technology, banking and research by the 19505, Oregon’s lumber industry remained the lifeblood of the state’s economy until recently. This led to a disdain for high er education in the state, Graves said. BARBECUE From Page 3 sauce. “People say they really enjoy my original barbecue sauce,” she said. “I’ve been trying to get that sauce bottled.” Smith’s mother, famous for her own barbecue sauce, gave heri the unusual nickname of “Von,” which stems from her middle name, Yvonne. But “Von” quickly evolved to “Bon,” which now graces the sign outside her restaurant. Smith’s mother Council, 70, who still works at Mama Dip’s every day, has eight children (including “Bon”), 22 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchil dren. Council said her large family had always helped at Mama Dip’s Kitchen. “My family has been in the business 4. roSS rd v-J&/ so tU S join? ut ‘ C M,S 1 Jois’t you don’t have to be a poet to let your valentine know jj. _ look for details in the dth classifieds to win big prizes for the big Wednesday as Coast Guard Navy boats bobbed across the choppy and chilly Pacific. The ships combed a debris field 10 miles offshore overnight, finding only tiny, twisted pieces of wreckage from the plane, which nose-dived into the ocean Monday afternoon. Also today, National Transportation Safety Board member John Hammerschmidt confirmed the agency is looking into reports that the MD-83 jetliner had mechanical problems on its way down to Mexico, the leg of the flight prior to the crash. The Seattle Times said Wednesday that the crew had reported problems with the plane’s horizontal stabilizer on the earlier flight. “We don’t know if it’s true. We are investigating that,” Hammerschmidt said. Authorities also hoped to glean clues to the accident’s cause from tapes made as the crew and Seattle maintenance workers tried to troubleshoot what was going wrong, said Jim Hall, chairman of the NTSB. “If people are just there to see a freak show, they won’t get in,” Markscheid said. Siebert said she was thrilled about the new opportunity Insomnia offered to the gay and lesbian community. “1 really have high hopes for it,” she “They’ve always sort of spumed the university system,” he said. “People looked at it as being impractical and the oretical -as kind of an ivory tower. That’s why our legislature got away with cutting it for years and years.” Oregon Senate President Brady Adams, a Republican who represents a rural area, also recognized this phe nomenon. “People were concerned about being accepted at what mill, not accepted at what college,” he said. “To some extent, I’d say that was a cultural difference for a number of years.” But Adams said strict environmental regulations on the lumber industry and a growing emphasis on technology in the world economy led political leaders and Oregon residents to change their priorities. “It’s changed just out of neces sity,” he said. “The future now is not the strength of your back, but the strength of your mind, and that’s not going to hap pen unless you look to higher education as one of the tools to achieve it.” In that spirit, Oregon led the nation a long time,” Council said. “Food is one of the most enjoyable things because it brings unity.” Council said she hoped her flair for cooking would be instilled in her chil dren, grandchildren and great-grand children. Apparently, it has. Smith said her mother’s love of cooking allowed her to dream of one day having her own restaurant. Peaches Watlington, a waitress at Bon's Bar-B-Q, said she appreciated the family tradition of excellent homestyle cooking that surrounded Bon’s Bar-B-Q. “(Smith’s family) is a hard-working clan,” she said. “Everybody in that fam ily can cook their butt off.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. “Obviously these pilots were strug gling to maintain control of this aircraft for a significant period of time. It’s going to be very important to this investigation to understand why they were unsuc cessful in this effort,” Hall said on NBC’s “Today.” The tape was handed over Tuesday to federal investigators by Alaska Airlines, Hall said. Ships used for salvage operations made their way Wednesday to the crash site from San Diego, said Vance Vasquez, a civilian spokesman at the Port Hueneme Naval center. The ships include the Kellie Chouest, a Navy-contracted civilian vessel with remote-controlled subs, and a ship with advanced sonar capabilities, Vasquez said. An ocean tug, the USNS Sioux, should arrive Friday, providing investi gators with a diving platform and towing options. Searchers have found the bodies of a man, two women and an infant among the human remains and personal items scattered across the fuel-soaked water. said. “If everyone just keeps an open mind, I really don’t perceive there to be a problem.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. in increased spending for higher educa tion in 1999, allocating more than $650 million to its schools - up 17 percent from the previous year. But Rep. Chris Beck, a Democrat, said the move might be too little, too late. He blamed the Republican major ity for cutting tax revenue in the early 1990s rather than reinvesting the sur pluses into education. “We’re still way behind what we would’ve been if we hadn’t made the cuts in the first place,” Beck said. But he acknowledged that the initia tive was at least a step in the right direc tion, adding that Oregon should take a cue from UNC and concentrate acade mic programs such as engineering and architecture near the economic hub in Portland. “It’s what has happened in the Triangle, Boston and the Silicon Valley. All those have major connections between academics and industry.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. BUB OEuum I 157 E. ROSEMARY ST.

Skies had been cloudy throughout Tuesday and into today, with snow falling much of the time. In this central Pennsylvania town of 6,700 people, Phil sees his shadow most years. Only 14 times has he predicted an early spring. Phil’s city cousin, New York’s Staten Island Chuck, agreed with today’s fore cast.
