Chapel Hill is the first stop in a three campus swing," David Balmer, statewide committee chairman, said Tuesday. Mar tin's other scheduled visits are at N.C.

But at other area stores, the book is not as popular. "It's doing very well," said Judy Gauldin, manager of B. Dalton' Booksellers in South Square Mall in Durham. "Collectors bought it in hard cover, but people who just wanted to read it bought the paperback at $4.95. Out of 25 copies at the beginning of Oast) week, we only have three or four left." On the other hand, Jay Frimmel of the Intimate Bookstore on Franklin Street said a publisher's error had caused a delay in receiving the paperback version. The store has the hardcover, but at $12.95 a copy, "people look at it, but they don't want to buy it," Frimmel said. "We've sold one copy in a week and a half." The Intimate Bookstore in Univer sity Mall reported the same problem. The manager of the Book Exchange in Durham said he had no problems getting The New Democracy, but that it was not selling well. The store still had "plenty of copies," said the manager, who asked not to be identified. Hart is scheduled to appear in Chapel Hill Thursday, speaking in Carmichael Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. ELLEN GOLDLUST their own plans for celebrating Jim Mar tin Day. . On the campus of UNC-Wilmington, students can expect to read posters adver tising a two-hour Jim Martin happy hour at a local bar, Balmer said. At East Carolina University, the free passes Mar tin representatives have been passing out at the Martin table on campus will admit holders to a Jim Martin-for-governor keg party at a fraternity.

The other campuses included in the ' 16-campus College Students For Jim Martin Committee are Wake Forest, Duke University, Elon College, Western Carolina, St. Mary's College, Meredith College, Salem College, Queens College, UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Greensboro. Balmer, who called Jim Martin Day "the big day across the state," said his committee is the second committee he's founded to help elect 'Martin. "The original motivation for the com mittee came when I was working on Mar tin's phone banks as a teen-ager," he said of callers during Martin's congressional campaign who told him that their sons and daughters were away at North Carolina colleges and universities and couldn't vote. "I vowed then that when I . got to college I would get people to vote absentee." "In 1980, 3 percent of the 150,000 col lege students in North Carolina voted in the presidential election. Our goal is to improve on that."

"There is an art" to smooching, insists James Hodgson, who as head of the de partment has traced the history of the kiss. His research helped spawn a kissing workshop, and drama students began signing up on Thursday. "The kiss can be anything from just a friendly greeting to a strong sexual signal and anyone who wants to be successful on stage must know how to do them all properly," Hodgson said. The workshop will take place in one afternoon, but only 30 budding actors and actresses can take part. "We don't want things to get out of hand," Hodgson noted. ; One student, Patrick Murphy, sa0 he 1 was eagerly awaiting his latest lesson "It should be a real eye opener. I hope there is plenty of practical work." Shots fired from embassy kill 1 From Associated Press reports LONDON Eleven people were in jured and a policewoman killed Tiies- day when a gunman, firing from an embassy window, sprayed a crowd protesting outside the Libyan Em bassy with sub-machine gun fire. A police spokesman said that eleven people had been arrested for question ing. The spokesman declined to iden tify them. The shots were fired into a crowd of approximately 70 students, most of them wearing masks to conceal their identity for fear of reprisal, as they chanted slogans opposing Libyan ruler Moammar Khadafy.

CIA directed attack WASHINGTON Intelligence sources said Tuesday that an October 1983 sabotage raid against a key Nicaraguan port was directed by the CIA. The raid on the Pacific port of Cor tino resulted in the destruction of 3.2 million gallons of fuel and forced the port's evacuation. It was carried out by speedboats manned by CIA-hired Latin mercenaries the sources said. News In Brief "This was totally a CIA operation," one source said. The CIA declined comment on reports of its involvement in the operation. Housing starts decline WASHINGTON Hurt by severe late winter storms, housing starts took their biggest decline on record in March as they dropped almost 27 per cent. A Commerce Department report released Tuesday said that new home construction fell to a seasonally ad justed 1.64 million units in March. February, a month that showed a strong rise in housing starts, had previously reported 2.23 million units built. Michael Sumichrast, chief economist for the National Associa tion of Home Builders, said that at least 70 percent of the March decrease was due to bad weather conditions. White House press secretary deputy Larry Speakes said "if you take February and March (housing starts) together they average at 1.9 million units, which is exactly what we've been predicting." i Granville race leads to runoff STV premieres on Village Cable fills COS?
