Republicans celebrate win early
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
RALEIGH Entering the home
stretch of the 1984 campaigns, Wake
County and Triangle-area Republicans
celebrated a pre-victory party Friday
night with fireworks and speeches from
state and local candidates at state
fairgrounds.
About 30 UNC College Republicans
joined the crowd of 4,000 for speeches
from Sen. Jesse Helms, gubernatorial
candidate Jim Martin, 4th District
congressional candidate Bill Cobey,
local representatives of the Reagan
Bush campaign and other state
candidates.
Helms, in a tight race with Hunt, told
the crowd to ignore polls showing him
in the lead. "The poll I go by is the
one on Nov. 6," he said, urging everyone
to vote. "But I do look at the polls
Senate
quietly, and I love the one from
Wilson."
According to Helms, Hunt is unpop
ular in his native Wilson County.
Someone in the crowd shouted "We
don't want Hunt back in Wilson
County."
Helms responded, "What are we
going to do with him then? We might
send him to veracity school he sure
flunked the first time."
from page 1
that North Carolina rejects Helms, the
leader of right-wing politics, and wants
a progressive and fiscally conservative
Democrat.
He says his defeat will mean that "if
you start early and work long enough,
with enough money, to destroy some
body's character and reputation, you
can win."
Helms says a vote for Hunt is a vote
for liberal spending that will fuel
inflation and high unemployment. He
says if he wins the state will show its
beiief in the free enterprise system
If he loses Helms says he will blame
the major media in the state for
distorting his record and using it against
him.
A big chunk of the millions invested
in this campaign has gone to flooding
the airwaves with "negative" campaign
ads.
On April l, 1983, the Helms ads
began characterizing Hunt as a "Mon
dale liberal" who "flip-flops back and
forth."
The Hunt camp came back with a
graphic display of El Salvador war
scenes linking Helms with right-wing
death squads. A voice said, "This is what
they do death squads in El Salvador.
Men, women, and children murdered
in cold blood."

announcer saying "This is actual I V
footage, in slow motion, of Jim Hunt
voting to raise your taxes" while the
camera focused on Hunt raising his
hand at a National Governor's Asso
ciation meeting.
The funniest ad was Hunt's rebuttal
to this. The commercial showed draw
ings of Helms raising his hand as an
announcer said, "This is an actual
artist's rendition of Jesse Helms voting
to cut social security." Hunt used
drawings, because cameras aren't
allowed on the senate floor.
If Helms wins, it will be a blow to
state Democrats and a boost for the
Congressional Club. If Hunt, a popular
and clean-cut governor can't defeat
Helms, who can?
If Hunt wins, the senate will lose one
of it's most outspoken conservative
personalities and North Carolina will
lose an influential leader.
For many North Carolinians, it's just
not that easy a decision to make. .

Where do they stand on issues?
Edmisten, Martin in N.C. governor's race
'in
( ill I ,
Equal Rights Amendment Martin
opposes it and voted against it while
Edmisten favors immediate oassaae.
Martin says he favors legislative AVt
measures.
Abortion Martin opposes state
funding of abortions except in cases of
rape, incest and life-threatening situations.
Edmisten is pro-choice and favors the
continuation of state-funded abortions.
Inventory and intangibles tax Martin
favors repealing both and feels the
inventory tax is a detriment to business. Rufus Edmisten
Edmisten favors keeping the tax until an adequate plan is
developed to replace the lost revenue, since the tax is an
important source of revenue for local governments.
Teacher pay Both Edmisten and Martin support an
increase in teacher pay, with Martin favoring merit pay and
some type of across-the-board increase and Edmisten
favoring an immediate increase in pay of 7 percent a year
for the next four years with provisions for some type of merit
pay.
Hazardous waste Martin has no
specific position on the cleanup of waste,
while Edmisten favors "absolutely string
ent control" of cleanup and of the
permitting process. Martin voted against
giving the Environmental Protection
Agency authority to prosecute violators of
the Hazardous Waste Control and Enforce
ment Act, while Edmisten favors the
adoption of a plan to prosecute violators.
Utilities Martin favors the Construe- , '
tion Work in Progress rule which allows J,
utilities to charge consumers for costs -f L
plants under construction before they
began operation. Edmisten favors imme
diate repeal of the CWIP rule, calling it an unfair charge to
consumers, while Martin feels it is a cheaper form of financing.
General use of state money Martin favors repeal or
lowering of sales and food tax and supports a general
improvement in education system of the state. Edmisten says
his No. 1 priority is education. He favors an equalizer plan
to establish comparable curricula and facilities throughout
the state regardless of the respective tax bases in the different
counties.

Andrews, Cobey: 4th district congressional race
mm
Constitutional amendment to outlaw
abortion Cobey favors it while Andrews
opposes it, saying that Congress doesn't
have the power to decide the legality of
abortion. He has voted for legislation
which would allow federal employees to
purchase health plans with theininsurance
benefits, which in some cases provide for
abortions.
School prayer Cobey favors volun
tary school prayer with the local school
boards having the option to decide how
God is acknowledged in the public Ike Andrews
schools. Andrews says he favors prayer but doesn't think
government at any level should institute a method pf prayer.
The MX missile, B-1 bomber, 'Star Wars' weaponry
Andrews voted against the original funding proposal for the
missile but later went on with a House bill tying funding of
15 missiles to U.S-Soviet arms agreements. Under the bill,
the Soviets have six months to come back to the bargaining
table or there'll be funding for 15 more. Cobey supports full
funding of the MX and does not favor
linkage to Soviet-U.S. talks. Andrews
opposed both the anti-satellite defense
system and the B-1 bomber, while Cobey
supports both.
Central America Both Cobey and
Andrews favor military and economic aid
to the regime of Jose Napolean Duarte
in El Salvador although Andrews draws
the line on funding for Nicaraguan contra
groups, which he opposes. Cobey says
the United States must support the
operations of the contras if that's what is
necessary to check a burgeoning
communist-backed military in Nicaragua.
The federal budget deficit Cobey and Andrews say they
oppose tax increases, support a balanced budget amend
ment, and pledge to reduce government spending. Cobey
wants to do that by giving the president line-item veto power,
so he can delete any excessive spending items attached as
riders to bills. Andrews opposes the line-item veto and also
favors cuts in defense and domestic and foreign aid. While
Cobey has been less than specific on where the budget knife
will fall, he says it won't be Social Security or financial aid
for students. Cobey also rules out a tax increase, while

punch the ball into the end zone and
led, 16-10.
The Terrapins scored the game's next
24 points, and converted on eight of
their next nine third-down situations.
Gelbaugh, who completed 18 of 27
passes for 269 yards, riddled the UNC
secondary in the second half with
precision strikes. That, said UNC inside
linebacker Micah Moon, made things
difficult on the Tar Heels.

Despite the loss, Horton and Miller
put their names in the record books.
Horton surpassed 1,000 yards on the
season, and became the 17th UNC back
to do that an NCAA record. Miller,
meanwhile, is 13 of 13 on field goals
this season, .tying him with Brooks
