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 nel at Bassett's headquarters in Bas Franklin Centre 128 E.

"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." hair styling Marie & Paulette are formerly of Aesthetic in University Square Specials of the Month: Cellophanes Reg. $25.00 Now $20.00 Expires 12-30-84 Perms bv Paulette only.

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. from page 1 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'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.

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.

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.
