2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, September 8, 1986 1U ffoffeOF views off reiuort mixed. Ety TOBY MOORE Staff Writer A report by U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett critic izing the U.S. elementary education system has received tentative appro val from UNC education professors. The report, written over Bennett's signature and released Tuesday, advocated a "major reform" in the nation's 80,000 elementary schools. Bennett was particulary upset with the higher elementary grades (5-9), saying that good teaching in the first three years was too often eroded in the later years. UNC professors expressed reserved endorsement for the report. ! find little in the report that 1 can complain about," Lyle V. Jones, Wake' Forest weakens ties to Baptists From Associated Prtss reports WINSTON-SALEM Wake Forest University and the North Carolina State Baptist Convention began laying groundwork Friday that could sever the 152-year-old formal ties between the two bodies. Both university and Baptist offi cials said the proposal could heal years of division between the con vention and university, which has long wanted to be independent of convention control. Under the proposal: a Wake's Board of Trustees would elect its members according to procedures decided by the board and the convention would have no Football Donald's two interceptions, the Tar Heels ground out another 85-yard drive, with no yards coming via the pass. William Humes scored from 1 1 yards out to make the score 14-0. The Citadel came back with a 19 play, 72-yard drive that cut the margin to 14-7. The Bulldogs had a chance to get the ball back late in the second quarter, but freshman Bryan Roe roughed UNC punter Kenny Miller and the penalty cost the Bulldogs, as Humes scored four plays later. After a Citadel punt, Maye came in with 31 seconds left and threw for 5 1 yards in two plays before the clock ran out. Fenner scored again late in the third quarter to give UNC a 28-14 lead, and from that point on the outcome was never in doubt. Eric Starr raced 50 yards on a punt return . to set up a 22-yard Lee Gliarmis field ; goal, Hall hit Eric Streater with opn a 41 -yard fly pattern for another score and Starr took a Mark Maye screen pass and followed several crushing blocks into the end zone F1REE RENT BUS'S!

He said that data previously released by the Department of Education has shown that "kids were doing reasonably well" up to the 3rd or 4th gtades. He said that Bennett has evidently just commented on, and interpreted, previously known data. Bennett's call for "a revolution" in elementary school science education was welcomed by J. Hunter Ballew, director of the Center for Mathemat ics and Science Education and a professor in UNC's department of education. "A lot of the teachers haven't had say-so in trustee election.

However, Wake could receive financial gifts if a church designated money for it. B Wake's president, dean, and trustee's chairman would be asso ciate, nonvoting members of the convention's Council on Christian Higher Education. B Wake would "honor its Baptist heritage" by continuing to spend about $500,000 a year on workshops and conferences for pastors and to round out the sconng.

He said the educational system also needed additional funding to overcome its problems. Bennett rejected a 1983 report by the National Commission on Excel lence in Education that said Amer ican education was getting worse at all levels. He said that American education was "overall in pretty good shape." 5y some measures, elementary schools are doing better now than they have in years, he said. But he added that the number of "outstanding" schools was too low. other Baptists. "Everybody's trying to find what is best for the Baptists and best for Wake Forest," said Joseph Branch of Raleigh, chairman of Wake's Board of Trustees and former N.C. Supreme Court chief justice. I believe the leadership . for both groups are very happy." Leaders on both sides described the relationship outlined in the agreement as fraternal and voluntary.

All conclusions and recommenda tions in the study will be reviewed by a student-faculty panel appointed by Chancellor Christopher C. Ford ham III last spring.

The committees met at the Grayson center near the Wake campus. To be implemented, the agreement must become part of the N.C. Baptist State Convention's constitution. The agreement must be voted on by two more convention bodies, which meet later this month. Then it must win the approval of two-thirds of the convention during the Baptists' annual session Nov. 10-12 in Greensboro.

Daniloff proposed Daniloff be freed in exchange for releasing Zakharov into the Soviet ambassador's custody pending his trial.

"They will receive the punish ment that such a crime deserves," Zia said at a news conference at the Karachi airport. The gunmen seized the plane at the airport with nearly 400 people aboard early Friday. The hijacking ended 17 hours later when the lights went out aboard the plane and the hijackers fired, on passengers. Pakistani com mandos were in control a half hour after the shooting began. Fifteen people, including three Americans, were killed. Hospitals reported 127 injured. U.S. offi cials have said 17 officials were wounded. Zia said the hijackers would not be extradited in the United States. The U.S. Justice Department on Saturday issued arrest war rants for three of the hijackers. U.S. officials said the warrants were issued as a precaution, but emphasized . that Pakistan was handling the case. Ex-governor Moore dies DURHAM Former gover nor Dan K.

Students .may choose from 11 colors, instead of the' usual 15, when painting their rooms, said Bill Sposato, associate director of hous ing for operations. from page 1 was referring to a message Reagan sent last week to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev asking that her husband be freed.

Officials and his wife at the time declined to discuss Moore's illness. Gov. Jirri Martin, informed of the death, issued a statement lamenting the loss of Moore. "The passing of Dan K. Moore is a sad loss to North Carolina," Martin said. "He and his dear wife (Jeanelle) have been an inspira tional example to us in so many ways." Moore was the son of a judge, born in Asheville on April 2, 1906 into a family that had given the state many state and national politicians. He started his political career as a Democratic precinct worker in Jackson County and was elected as a representative of that county to the General Assembly in 1941. Moore served as gover nor from 1965-69. Child molesters usually known GREENSBORO Sex abusers are usually characterized as men in raincoats, standing in a park and offering candy to children but the leader of a Greensboro organization that helps crime victims says new pictures are emerging. Linda Hiatt, director of com munication and marketing for Turning Point, said people have a hard time believing that most most people who sexually abuse children are family, friends or acquaintances. In the first six months of this year, 62 cases .of child abuse by caretakers were reported in Guil ford County. Of these, 25 cases were confirmed. The Department, of Housing wants to use as much of its inven toried paint as possible before its shelf life expires, he said. But Residence Hall Association President Ray Jones said he thought the department was starting to reduce color choices. Sposato said the department would evaluate the painting system. The result could be a reduction in colors or an end to students painting their own rooms, he said. Instead, University staff would paint every two years, he explained. Sposato said having the staff paint would reduce several problems: too much paint build-up on walls; color choices that don't appeal to a wide ranjge;of students; and dark colors that take more than one coat of paint to cover. A dark or unusual wall color does cause problems when you have to repaint, he said, but it is also a problem when a student comes in and says, "I don't like that color but I have to wait another year to paint it." The staff would use lighter colors since more students could accept them; he said. . "Probably 70 percent of the students who come in ask for white, some shade of white," Sposato said. But Jones said rooms should reflect the residents' own choices. "If you want your room to be blue, let it be blue. If someone else wants his room to be green, let it be green," he said.
