5V Qaily ilar Uni Defeating Calif, recall top AFL-CIO priority BY ALEXANDRA DODSON STAFF WRITER One of the most powerful U.S. unions outlined last week its plans to keep California Gov. Gray Davis in office, but the union hedged its bets by also supporting the leading Democrat on the recall ballot. Davis is facing a historic recall election Oct. 7. The balloting process has two steps: Voters will decide whether to recall Davis and then select the potential successor. The AFL-CIO, which represents 65 national and international unions and 13 million workers, announced in August that it would work fervently for a “No on recall, yes on Bustamante” platform out lined by Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who is on the ballot as a potential Davis successor. In an Aug. 26 press release, the union said it would work on a cam paign to keep Davis in office in the months preceding the recall elec tion. The program includes a target ed direct-mail program, 3 million phone calls to California voters, 700.000 one-on-one conversa tions with AFL-CIO members and a large get-out-the-vote campaign. Show features masters in top ‘form’ BY PHILIP MCFEE ASSISTANT ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR University Mall s Animation and Fine Art Galleries is a lot like the university down the road. Its business combines in-state, out-of-state and international sales. The gallery is full of diverse works in an area surrounded by construction. And, like the establishment at the top of the hill, the Animation and Fine Art Galleries shouldn’t be overlooked. The gallery, located at the end of the mall that will soon house A Southern Season, has been open for over a decade and holds sever al exhibits annually. “The Female Form” opens today and features works by Dali, Picasso, Matisse and Wesselman, CAMPUS RECREATION UPDATE EISS22SE2a I Sport Clubs "2™ OPEN UNC Sport Club Membership Drive E FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM TENNIS r r Illii SHa?^:S^ WOmenl When: Wednesday, Sept. 3 10am-2pm £ GRAIL SOFTBALL (Rclin ddt6 9/8 ) i INNERTUBE WATER POLO ft co-.ec „ u „ ÜBMJ • men's, women' s , co-rec Sign up: Sept. 1-9 Where: the Pit ?

He added that the AFL-CIO his torically has supported Democratic candidates. Union leaders said they think the AFL-ClO’s members most like ly would vote against the recall even if Bustamante wasn't on the ballot. “We are confident that the vot IF YOU GO Date: Tuesdays to Saturdays, Sept. 2 to Oct. 4 Time: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Location: 201 South Estes Dr. Info: www.animationandfineart.com to name a few. The exhibit aims to show how the female form has been repre sented differently by artists from the late 19th Century to the present. Gregory Lacks, an associate director at the gallery, echoed the professional appeal and quality of the gallery and its exhibits. “We are a worldwide business," he said. “Pieces are purchased inter nationally pick a country from Japan to Germany, even Norway." Lacks stressed the museum qual News ers who show up at the polls to support Cruz Bustamante will also vote against the recall,” Art Pulaski, executive treasurer-secretary of the California Federation, stated in a press release. “They know that right-wing sponsors of the recall are really try ing to recall paid family leave, over time pay, a woman’s right to choose and environmental protection.” But there is a difference between the two politicians: Davis’ legacy of union-friendly policies might not carry over to Bustamante if he’s elected, Townsend said. He said Bustamante, one of the highest ranking Hispanics in poli tics, might focus more on minori ty groups and outreach programs for historically disadvantaged communities. That focus, Townsend said, could divert attention from the areas in which Davis traditionally has been more involved, namely union activity and issues. “I think Davis is much more of a union supported Democrat.” Contact the State National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. ity of the exhibit, while distinguish ing the gallery from a museum.

Picasso’s lithograph "Mother and Child” parallels the precision of Matisse's female nudes, showing two artists' similar and yet unique approaches to the human figure. Seeing such a high-quality pri vate collection that offers the works for purchase is yet another notable experience in a town infused with and defined by art.

Hussein tape likely authentic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq Asa huge funeral procession for a beloved Shiite cleric marched to the holy city of Najaf, Arab TV broadcasted an audiotape Monday purported ly from Saddam Hussein denying any involvement in the bombing that killed the moderate ayatollah. The U.S.-picked Iraqi Governing Council, meanwhile, named anew Cabinet in a step toward reclaiming some powers from the American occupiers. The new government mirrors the eth nic and religious makeup of the 25- member council. The voice on the tape appeared to be that of Hussein and employed his well known rhetori cal flourishes in urging Iraqis not to believe those who blamed him and his followers for Friday’s attack on the sacred Imam Ali shrine in Najaf that killed Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim and 124 other people. -r=:.V CAREER CORNER 'SiSSS?

While denying a role in the Najaf bombing, the voice made no mention of the Jordanian Embassy bombing on Aug. 7 or the U.N. headquarters attack 12 days later, which investigators suspect may have also been committed by Hussein followers. It was impossible to authenti cate the tape immediately. The CIA said Monday it was reviewing the recording. Al-Hakim, killed in Friday’s huge blast shortly after delivering a sermon calling for Iraqi unity, was a longtime opponent of Hussein and spent more than two decades in exile in Iran, returning only in May. His remains are to be buried in Najaf on Tuesday when the fiinei* al procession reaches the ayatol lah’s hometown. It started in Baghdad on Sunday and passed through the second holiest city of Karbala on Monday. Masses of Iraqi security forces were present Monday throughout Najaf, the country’s holiest Shiite city, with 400 police preparing to take up positions around the mosque. U.S. forces could not be seen in the city proper and were believed to be manning checkpoints on roads into Najaf. Black banners of mourning, some 150 feet long, were draped across the gold-domed mosque. People could be heard crying inside the shrine. 7
