North Carolina politicians disagree over,
whether the state's once progressive image has
suffered because of incidents such as the
Greensboro Klan-Nazi trial and the UNC
desegregation dispute.
"There's no question about it," said state Sen.
Charles Vickery, D-Orangc. "The national view
is that North Carolina is a backward state."
Vickery said he felt that five national news
stories had combined to create a bad image of the
state. They are: the UNC desegregation dispute;
the case of Joan Little, who fled Women's Prison
because she said she was afraid for her safety; the
Klan-Nazi killings in Greensboro; the trial in
Greensboro; and the Wilmington 10 case, where
a group of black activists were given long prison
sentences because of alleged involvement in racial
violence.
State Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he
also felt the state's image had suffered. "I think
it's more an image than a reality," he said.
"We're still the most progressive state in the
South."
' But other state officials disagree.
Stephanie Bass, deputy press secretary, for
Gov. Jirn Hunt, said the governor thought such
incidents made no difference to outsiders'
perceptions of the state. "People see states as a
whole," Bass said. "It (the Greensboro trial)
doesn't besmirch North Carolina's reputation;
other states have problems, too."
UNC President William Friday said the UNC
desegregation case and other incidents had had
no effect on the state's image. "A lot of people'
are trying to say so," he said. "When it (the
desegregation issue) is understood, people are
very supportive. People of national stature write
me and commend the University. They are willing
to heip and testify."
"1 haven't had any complaints (about North
Carolina's image)," 81 -year-old Secretary of
State Thad Eure said.
Eure cited the state's highway system, tax base
and stability in government as examples of North
Carolina's progressivism. "We've got so much to
offer" he said. "If they (industry) thought we
weren't progressive, they certainly wouldn't
continue to locate here." t v
But Vickery said he felt the state was trying to
deny the image. "There's no point in public
officials putting their heads down in the sand and
saying it (the image problem) doesn't exist,"
Vickery said. "It (the state's image) reflects the
true situation to some degree, but the image is
greatly exaggerated."
Vickery said he felt the decade of the '70s was
one of frustration for North Carolina. "Our
image as a New South state exceeded reality," he
said. "We had a lot of bad publicity," such as
reports of Klan and Nazi activity,, the Charlotte 3
case (where three blacks received a total of more
than 55 years in prison for allegedly burning a
riding stable) and the state's repeated rejection of
the Equal Rights Amendment.
"The total complex of those issues has created
a bad image," Vickery said.
Vickery said he felt the image could hurt the
state by keeping business and industry from
locating in North Carolina.
"I think any corporate manager in charge of
site selection wants to know what the political
and racial climate is," Vickery said. "If he only
reads the hometown paper, he will have a bid
image of North Carolina." But most officials
said they felt any North Carolina problems would
not deter businesses from locating here.
Hackney said he felt a poor image cf the state
"would have no effect whatsoever" on
businesses. "Businesses are looking for a
congenial business atmosphere," he said.
State Rep. Patricia Hunt, D-Orar.ge, said she
also felt that incidents such as the Greensboro
trial would not affect businesses. "Suppose
Charles Manson was turned loose in California.
Do you think businessmen would say, 'Lock at
all those kooky cults'?" she asked.
Eure said Georgia officials were looking at and
praising the state's highway patrol system just
this week. "More people are looking at it (the
state) than ever before," he said. "They
recognize it's a state cf progress."

In both written and oral statements to The Daily Tar Heel,
numerous Chapel Hill residents expressed dissatisfaction with
the contracts, payment methods and employees' attitudes of
the Chapel Hill Health Spa Club at Eastgate Shopping Center.
But Frank Douglas, co-owner of the Chapel Hill, Raleigh
and Cary spas, said these contract complaints were invalid
because the complainants had ' broken their contracts
voluntarily. . 1
Chapel Hill resident Valerie Adinolfi was taken to court by
the spa in September after trying to cancel her contract before f
an intended change of state residence. Adinolfi said she
informed the spa of her cancellation, moved to New York, I
then unexpectedly moved back to Chapel Hill.
"I hadn't heard anything from the spa people after I came " ' "
back, so I figured it (the canceled contract) was taken care of. (jwOOfi CllCCI
Six months later I received a phone call from the Triangle
Acceptance Co. Th shOW 4 that hi wsi ssndins a court
summons' to me and then hung tip," :she szid': Z'-lZtZZ.
The magistrate ruled in Adinolfi's favor because she had
intended to remain in another state, but she said the experience
was "totally degrading."
Another area resident, who did not want his name revealed,
said he attempted to cancel his contract with the spa after
realizing he did not have time for such an activity. "I thought
they would excuse my case. I did not even have time to use the
facilities once," he said. "I went ahead and paid the
outstanding $425 because the magistrate ultimately decided
that the contract was solid.
"I think the spa has a unilateral contract; it is overly broad.
The contract is enforceable on the basis of a 1979 state statute
but could be challenged on appeal as being too one-sided on
the part of the company," he said. The 1979 statute, the
Prepaid Entertainment Contract, which regulates buying
services from health clubs and athletic clubs, allows release
from such a contract only in case of buyer's death or
disability, buyer's permanent move more than eight miles
away from location or seller's relocation more than eight miles
away from original site.
In response to charges of a unilateral contract, Douglas said in
a conversation he tape-recorded, "Any law can be challenged.
A contract is not a dirty word. It enables us to do our job. I arn
proud of our contfact,"
Douglas said that only cash payments are handled directly
by the spa. Triangle Acceptance Co., a finance agency,
handles the installment payments. Triangle Acceptance Co. is

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) A Saudi
Arabian mediator shuttled between
Amman and Damascus Wednesday in
an effort to head off a Syrian-Jordanian
war. , Jordan's information minister
denied that King Hussein had accepted
Syrian conditions for ending the border
crisis between the two Arab states.
Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz, a
deputy premier of the oil-rich nation
.that finances arms purchases by both
Syria and Jordan, arrived from
Amman for talks with President Hafez
Syrian army camp five miles from the
border.
In Washington, the State Department
said it was unable to confirm any
reduction of troops on the Syria-Jordan
border or any agreement to reduce
tensions. Jordan has asked the United
States for new weapons and spare parts
for its American jets, tanks and other
equipment.
Hussein has publicly denied the Syrian
charges and said Jordan was "open to
all reasonable suggestions for resolving

Members of three black fraternities said they had
not been receiving adequate benefits in being a part
of the Inter-Fraternity Council.
"I don't remember going to a single meeting
where I've had input," said Kraig Holt, IFC
representative for Omega Psi Phi.
The IFC is the governing council for the 24
predominatly white fraternities and the three black
fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi
and Omega Psi Phi.
. The fraternity members complained they didn't
receive full use of the money the IFC collected in
dues. Each of the three fraternities decided not to
pay their dues this semester, Kelvin Harris,
president of Kappa Alpha Psi, said.
,. "We don't have frat houses to use the money
for," said James Reid, Alpha Phi Alpha president.
The black fraternity members are scattered in
uouio una upaiunenb auu uoiu tuust of their social
functions'" in Upendo or in .the Great Hall of the
Carolina Union, he said.
John Blumberg, IFC president, disagreed with
the complaint, "It's not a true criticism," he said.
"The dues are not only for fraternities with actual
houses."
The dues finance IFC operations including office
maintenance, service projects, Greek Week, guest
speakers, advertising and rush, IFC Treasurer Jim
Maymard said. Each fraternity is charged $2.50 per
active member each semester, he said. Most of the
money is spent on Greek Week, Blumberg said.
The black Greek said their participation in
Greek Week was limited and their rush activities did
not coincide with the formal fall rush.
"Our systems are so different that there's no way
to coordinate things to do together," Holt said.
Blumberg said the IFC would pay for
refreshments at the black fraternities' rush, but

AsAbdulIah met with Assad, Syrian
officials warned that war would be
inevitable if Jordan failed to meet
Syria's terms for ending the crisis.
Syria, charging that Jordan was
backing a fundamentalist Islamic group
trying to overthrow Assad and was
changing its stance toward the Palestine
Liberation Organization, moved 50,000
troops and '1,200 tanks to the border
with Jordan. Hussein responded by
rushing 30,000 Jordanian troops to the
tense frontier.
' The crisis appeared to ease when
Jordanian officials said Tuesday that
Jordan had agreed to Syria's demands
for a written statement that Jordan was
not .aiding terrorists of the Moslem
Brotherhood and that Jordan
recognized the PLO as the sole
representative of Palestinians. Syria also
pulled back some troops from the
border, according to reports from
Damascus and Amman.
But Information Minister Adrian Aba
Auden Wednesday denied reports of an
agreement. "Syria has submitted no
conditions and the king has accepted
none," he told reporters in Amman. He
added that some Syrian troops had
pulled back, but said it was only to a
Aba -:n Juried, .however, that
Jordan" red "not bowed to the Syrian
conditions. ' "Acceptance cf the two .
Syrian conditions would signify that we
accept the Syrian assumption that we are
guilty of the false charges leveled agiinst
us," he said.
Sources in Amman said Hussein had
clearly signaled his readiness to settle the
dispute provided it was not considered
capitulation by Jordan or an admission
that the Syrian charges were true.
Jordan has consistently maintained
that Syrian saber rattling has nothing to
do with alleged support for the Moslem
Brotherhood but was prompted by
Jordan's backing for Iraq in the Persian
Gulf war with Iran. Syria has taken
Iran's side in the conflict.
The Syrians have demanded that
dozens of Moslem Brotherhood
, guerrillas who e seeped a government
crackdown this fall and allegedly sought
sanctuary in Jordan be handed over to
Syrian authorities. Damascus sources
The Assad government holds the
fundamentalist Moslem Brotherhood
respond'- for an 18-mcr.th campaign
of bombings and political assassinations
that claimed more than 200 lives in
Syria.
