FIM
may hold proxy campaign to elect director Vietnam gives mia information
Krom wire reports
Fairness in Media, an organization linked to Sen.
Jesse Helms, has tiled a document with the Securities
and Hxchange Commission stating it is "considering,
but has not finally decided, to conduct a proxy
campaign to elect either one or two directors" at the
company's 1985 annual meeting.
The document, filed Friday, said FIM began
Thursday conducting discussions with third persons
about transactions to seek control of CBS. The third
parties were not identified.
Robert J. Rosser, an FIM spokesman, said the
group was planning to file further documents with
the SEC to extend its plan to seek control of CBS
because of what "Sen. Helms called the liberal bias
of the network.
"We really don't know when the filing will occur.
Rosser said. He would not describe what the hew
filings will say.
The latest document is an amendment to one filed
last month by FIM, which originially stated the group
did not intend to obtain proxies from shareholders
but indicated it was considering that option.
Helms has sent letters to nearly one million
conservatives asking them to buy stock in CBS to
gain control of the board of directors in order to
"end CBS' bias forever."
But CBS Chairman Thomas Wyman said in
Durham last week that the effort didn't seem very
threatening.
A Wall Street Journal column, which came out
before Friday's filing, had suggested that such a move
was planned. News of the filig caused a flurry of
activity on Wall Streat, and investors rushed to buy
CBS stock. The rush delayed the opening of the New
York Stock Exchange Friday, and when trading began
at 11:02 a.m., CBS, stock opened at $81, up from
Thursday's close of $78.
But despite FIM's bid to take control, Stanley
Fishman, an analyst with the Wall Street firm
Fahnestock, said the company wouldn't change much.
"All they're doing is creating a nuisance value,
he said. "It's a disruption, and no disruption is
appreciated by management."
The document filed Friday said Wyman refused
o discuss the bias issue with FIM representatives,
suggesting instead the group meet with lower company
officials.
"In view of these developments, FIM has concluded
that the company does not intend to respond
satisfactorily to FIM's concerns," the document said,
"Accordingly, FIM has decided to effect a change

Salvadoran women participating in revolution
By GENIE LINDBERG
Staff Writer
Women in El Salvador are joining
the revolutionary prpcess that is taking
place in that country, Sylvia Sandoval,
a member of the Salvadoran women's
organization AMES, said Friday in the
Union.
"What we're trying to achieve in El
Salvador is a true democracy, a future
of equality and this is what we are now
building in the zones of control," said
Sandoval, who was raised in El Sal
vador but now lives in New York, where
she works with relief agencies in the
inner city.
Zones of popular control are free
from government control and "com-
paneros work side by side and learn
from each other, Sandoval said. (Com
panero is the Spanish word for a person
who is working together with others
towards the same or similar goals.)
"We have set up popular powers in
the zones of control where for the first
time in our lives we are seeing true
democracy, and where women are now
participating in all aspects of local
government and social reform," Sando
val said.
AMES was founded in El Salvador
in 1978 to help women participate
effectively in the social change occurring
there, Sandoval said. "It's not easy for
women in Central America to change
and become active because we have

been ingrained with 'machismo'
traditions."
"AMES needed to reach out to
women who were not already organ
ized." Sandoval said. "We needed to
reach out to housewives, market
women, street vendors, prostitutes,
secretaries and some professional
women to make them realize tha that
misery and oppression that they were
subjected to would only finish by
changing the power structure in our
country."
AMES started out by dealing with
issues that were very close to Salvad
oran women, Sandoval said. "Things
like struggling for electricity and
running water, so that women don't
have to go out to the river a mile down
to get water to cook for their children
and to wash, so they could have running
water in their homes or at least nearby
their homes."
Widespread poverty has made family
life highly unstable because many men
move from place to place seeking
employment, Sandoval said. "So, men
form new bonds with women and start
new families, and women are left to
become sole providers for their
children."
When there is work, about three or
four months a year, women got into
the fields, taking their children with
them and their babies sleep on the
ground, Sandoval said. Then these
women have to come back and "do
invisible domestic chores ,wash
(clothes) at the river, grind corn for their
tortillas by hand," Sandoval said.
Other women leave the rural areas
and go to the cities where they become
domestic servants or take to street
vending, "a very grueling job " where
women stand all day competing for
pennies," Sandoval said.
About 75 percent of the children are
grossly malnourished, she said.
These problems made women want
to change and to demand their rights,
she said. "Little by little, women started
to understand the justice of their
struggle many started to understand
the justice of their young children."

'DTH' victory
The Daily Tar Heel won a heart
stopping 65-63 overtime victory over
the University of Virginia's Cavalier
Daily to secure its third consecutive
tournament championship in the
Student Newspaper Invitational
Tournament, held in Raleigh this
weekend.
The DTH defeated Duke, 49-45,
and Maryland, 62-50, to advance to
the finals. The team was led by
tournament MVP Pete Fields and
Mike Persinger, who averaged 17
and 15 pointes per game, respec
tively. Kurt Rosenberg and Jeff
Neuville, starting guards and co
captains of the team, also contrib
uted with timely assists and clutch
outside shooting. "We have to give
credit to all the other teams,"
Rosenberg said in a modest drawl.
"They were really well-prepared."
In the championship game the Tar
Heel built up a 15-point lead only
to see it disintegrate to a 58-58 tie
with 10 seconds remaining. The
Cavalier Daily missed two shots in
the final seconds of regulation, and
Scott Canterberry canned the game
winner in overtime. "We're tired, but
it's a good kind of tired," Neuville
said.
Other members for the DTH
which is now 9-0 in its three years
of SNIT competition, included Joel
Broadway, Paris Goodnight, Stretch
Ledford, . Larry Childress, Scott
Canterberry and Scott Fowler.
