Poll: UNC
From staff reports
An election-day exit poll by a UNC journalism class
showed Walter Mondale. Jim Hunt and Rufus Edmisten
as the winners among UNC students Nov. 6.
The poll, taken by an Advanced Reporting (Journalism
154) class as a group project, surveyed over 200 students
voting at Fet.er Gym, Lincoln Center, and the OWASA
building in Carrboro. The margin of error is plus or minus
seven percent.
The results showed 68 percent of students voting lor
Mondale, 85 percent voting for Hunt, and 62 percent for
Edmisten. In the national and statewide elections, Ronald
Reagan defeated Mondale with 62 percent of the vote, Jesse
Helms defeated Hunt with 52 percent, and Jim Martin beat
Furniture
America is foreign made."
David Jetton, advertising manager
for Broyhill Furniture Industries Inc.,
said his company was doing slightly
better than it did last year.
"We're having a fairly good year,
but it's not great," Jetton said. "There
is some increase in business over last
year."
He pointed out slow housing starts,
high interest and prime rates as factors
hurting the industry.
"We always look at the general
feeling of the public," Jetton said.
"Housing starts are down and that has
a direct bearing on the (furniture)
industry. That's tied to the interest
rate. The prime rate effects furniture
retailers."
The largest furniture company in
the nation is INTERCO, a St. Louis
based corporation owning both Broy
hill and Ethan Allen. However, the
largest company as a single entity is
Bassett Furniture Industries Inc.
A Bassett spokesman said his
company was operating some plants
at reduced schedules.
"We're not suffering, but we're not
in a boom time either," said Mike
Barbour, assistant director of person

"We have some plants operating at
reduced schedules, but others are
operating at full operational sche
dules," Barbour said.
As for the industry's future, Bar
bour said the lowering of the govern
ment deficit was essential to help the
industry.
"It depends on the whole economy
of the country," he said. That's the
key to the whole thing what the
government does with the deficit. If
the deficit is lowered, the industry will
benefit."
Foreign competition, said Barbour,
is watched very closely by Bassett.
"At this time foreign competition
is not that severe," Barbour said. "But
it is something we always have to look
over our shoulder for. It could be
harmful, like it was to the textile
industry. Their pressure is felt."
Fred Starr, president of Thomas
ville Furniture Industries Inc., said
business for his company was
increasing.
"Our shipments are up 16 percent
and our orders are up 6.5 percent,"
Starr said. "However, there has been
a slowdown as the year has
progressed."

The poll also showed evidence of a gender gap in the
voting patterns of UNC students. While 39 percent of male
UNC students voted for Reagan, among females he carried
only 23 percent of the vote a gap of 16 percent.
Student voters were also asked what issues were important
to them in deciding how to cast their votes. The most common
reason for voting for a particular presidential candidate was
"arms control-threat of war," chosen by almost 48 percent
of respondents. Thirty-seven percent said "competence" was
an important factor in their decision, and 29 percent said
"the economy."
In the Senate race, 31 percent of the women and 17 percent
of the men said "Social Security-Medicare" was important
in deciding their vote.

Starr said Thomasville had been
affected indirectly by foreign
competition.
"We're all faced with it," said Starr.
"But the upholstery and bedding
industry is virtually unaffected by
foreign competition. We're in the
upper end of the wood furniture
business, so we're only indirectly
affected," he said.
"Our strategy is three-fold," he said.
"First, we plan to have aggresive
product development. Second, we
plan to continue to have strong
quality, and we plan to take costs out
of our products."
According to AFMA figures, the
furniture industry was expected.' to
expand in 1984. If the experts are
right, the industry that means big
money and jobs to North Carolina
should improve in the next decade,
if interest rates remain low and
American consumers can afford to
purchase furniture on credit.

Mondale campaign fined
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Walter F.
Mondale's campaign has agreed to
return $379,640 to the Treasury and
pay a civil fine of $18,500 for taking
excess labor donations through
delegate committees during the
Democratic primaries.
Details became public yesterday
after the Federal Election Commis
sion sent copies of the conciliation
agreement to the parties in the
dispute.
Mondale, the defeated Demo
cratic presidential candidate,
ordered the delegate committees to
disband last April 25 and promised
to refund several hundred thousand
dollars to union political action
committees and individuals who had
already given the legal maximum to
his campaign.
And now, military cuts
WASHINGTON President
Reagan finished an initial round of
deciding where to cut domestic
spending yesterday and White House
aides indicated the next move will
be to determine how much the
president's planned military buildup
must be trimmed to fight the flood
of federal red ink.
"Well have a pretty good feel at
the end of the day as to how close
we are to our . . . budget reduction
goal for 5, and I think we can then
begin to work with defense
numbers," White House spokesman
Larry Speakes said before Reagan
began his last scheduled session on
domestic spending reductions with a
dozen senior aides.

Pollution tax soon?
WASHINGTON Backed by
environment and industry groups
that are often at odds, the govern
ment is about to propose the first
federal pollution tax, intended to
make manufacturers of heavy trucks
and engines pay the costs they escape
by not meeting clean air standards.
Companies would be allowed to
make products that violate the
standards, but the tax would give
them incentives to bring their trucks
and engines into compliance as soon
as possible. Highly polluting pro
ducts would still be banned.
No action against Ferraro
WASHINGTON The House
ethics committee found that Geral
dine Ferraro violated the Ethics in
Government Act at least 10 times but
is not recommending any formal
House action against the lame-duck
representative, a congressional
source said yesterday.
The committee voted 8-2 Monday
to adopt a staff report that says the
1984 Democratic vice presidential
nominee failed to provide complete
information on her required finan
cial disclosure statements since
entering Congress in 1979, according
to the source.

The headline 'A play designed for
undergrad art majors' (DTH, Dec. 4)
was incorrect. As the story explained,
the play Loose Ends will be performed
this week by undergraduate majors in
dramatic art.
In the article "Planetarium star

professor Barry Nakell was said to have
called tax-supported chaplains in the

Nakell said he did not. The DTH regrets
