Adl agaimst drank drivta

Staff Writer
Gov. Jim Martin, in an attempt
to help decrease drunken-driving
arrests, said Monday that he hopes
a new anti-drunk driving media
campaign will curb arrests for
Driving While Impaired in the state.
The campaign, introduced two
weeks ago, includes 30-second TV
commercials that will show images
of handcuffs, jail doors closing and
canceled driver's licenses.
Statistics show an increase in D W I
arrests of 17 percent over 1985.
Martin is concerned that the Safe
Roads Act of 1983 is no longer fresh
in the minds of North Carolinians.
Paul Jones, director of Martin's
Highway Safety Program, said
Monday that the campaign is part
of an ongoing awareness program
that is expected to continue for the
next three years. He said that Martin
"wants the private sector and the
public sector to work together on
society's problems, one of which is
drunken driving."
The Raleigh advertising firm
McKinney, Silver and Rockett
created the campaign, he said. "They
have graciously volunteered their
services, which would have cost (the
Highway Safety Program) between
$250,000 and $300,000," he said.
The firm is asking its suppliers to
provide materials for the campaign
free or at a discount, Jones said.
Thanks to its efforts, a $750,000
campaign will cost the Highway
Safety Program only $30,000, he
said.
Jones said three public service
announcement packages have been
distributed to the state's radio and
television stations. He also said that
two more are being completed.
"They would cost us about $125,000
apiece if we had to pay for them,"
he said.
One of the television ads features
a military parade in Moscow's Red
Square. The idea is that DWI is a
crime against the state.
During the commericial, an
announcer's voice says, "In some
parts of the world, drunk driving is
considered a crime against the state.
Get arrested, and you can lose your
license for years. Plea bargaining?

Forget it. You could even go to jail.
But those aren't just the laws over
there. They're also the laws right
here."
Martin taps BSroyfaill for economic post
From Staff and wir reports
Former U.S. Sen. Jim Broyhill
may have lost his bid for re-election
last month, but his days as a public
official are far from over. Gov. Jim
Martin Monday appointed Broyhill
as chairman of the North Carolina
Economic Development Board.
He will succeed Raleigh business
man Claude Pope, who will become
the new state commerce secretary.
Martin said Pope and Broyhill
shared his determination to bolster
North Carolina's traditional indus
tries such as textiles and furniture.
"Our mission ... is to continue
to build a healthy business climate,
one that respects the needs of
traditional industries that have been
here, so they can first survive their
present situation . . . (and) can then
expand," Martin said.
Broyhill, who has been vacation
ing in Florida since the election, did
not attend the news conference and
could not be reached for comment.
His campaign manager, Kim
Hutchens, said the chairmanship
role would be very suitable for
Broyhill.
"He brings a great deal of business
contacts to North Carolina," Hut
chens said. "Certainly the number of
years he spent in North Carolina,
Washington and the business com
munity gives him a lot of visibility
with business leaders."
These contacts would make Broy
hill effective in recruiting new
businesses to North Carolina,
Hutchens said.
"He will head up a board that will
further the business climate of this
state," he said. "In that role, his
qualifications are second to none,
and I think it was a role that he was
very glad to accept."
Commerce Secretary Howard
Haworth announced Sept. 29 he
would step down at the end of this
month, and Martin said he would
appoint him to the State Board of
Education next spring.
It had been widely rumored in
Republican circles that Broyhill,
who lost his Nov. 4 bid for a full
Senate term to Democrat Terry
Sanford, would take over the com
merce post.
Martin fended off repeated ques
tioning about Broyhill. "I can't be
responsible for all the rumors going
around," the governor said.
He acknowledged, however, that
he had held "preliminary, probing
discussions" with Broyhill about the
commerce post, and that at one point
Broyhill had expressed interest in it.
But about two weeks ago, before
any formal offer could be made,
"Mr. Broyhill indicated that he
would prefer to work with Claude
Pope and supported Mr. Pope for
secretary of commerce," Martin said.
"He and I . . . feel we have a great
team."
Supreme Court will hear
challenge to drinking law
Prom Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON The
Supreme Court said Monday it
will decide whether states may be
denied some federal highway
money if they fail to adopt a
minimum drinking age of 21.
The justices, in a multi-million
dollar dispute, will hear South
Dakota's challenge to a federal
law that applies financial pressure
for a national drinking age.
The law requires the secretary
of transportation to withhold part
of the federal money otherwise
available to a state for highway
construction if the state permits
"the purchase or . public posses
sion ... of any alcoholic bever
age" by someone under 21.
Archives release Nixon paper
WASHINGTON Former
President Richard M. Nixon was
counseled by a top aide in 1969
to avoid a visit to Mrs. Martin
Luther King on the first anniver
sary of her husband's assassina-
News in Grief
tion because "it would outrage
many, many people."
The aide, Patrick Buchanan,
was a speechwriter in the Nixon
White House. He is the director
of communications for President
Reagan.
Buchanan's memo was among
1.5 million documents from the
Nixon administration made pub
lic Monday by the National
Archives. It was the first release
of textual material from the more
than 40 million documents Nixon
left behind when he resigned.
Elections Board concedes error
RALEIGH A clerical error
led the state Board of Elections
to certify the wrong winner in a
state legislative race, but the
mistake was discovered before
either candidate found out about
it, officials said Monday.
N.C. authors' textbook banned
Legislative panel advises state to move to divest
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH North Carolina
should divest its companies that do
business with South Africa and fail
'to abide by a code that mandates
fair treatment of black workers, a
legislative panel agreed Monday.
The proposed legislation,
endorsed by the Committee on State
Investments with South African
Investors, would affect the Univer
sity of North Carolina system trust
funds that are invested by the State
Treasurer's Office. It would also
apply to assets of the state employee
retirement system.
The co-chairmen of the study
panel. Rep. H.M. "Mickey"
Michaux. D-Durham, and Sen. J.
Richard Conder, D-Rockingham,
said the measure was a compromise
between those who favored total
divestment and those who did not.
"I would favor total divestment,"
Michaux, who is black, said in an
interview. "But I recognize the tenor
of the times."
He added that by the time the
proposed legislation reaches the
House and Senate floors for votes.
"it may be a moot question all
around" as more U.S. companies
pull out of South Africa.
Conder, who is white, said he
opposed complete divestment
because it might harm the state's
relations with some of North Caro
lina's major employers.
A draft version of the proposed
legislation would take the following
measures:
a bar the state treasurer from
making new investments of assets of
the state employee retirement system
or UNC system trust funds in a

The school board of the Columbia
County school system in Florida has
banned a humanities textbook co
authored by five North Carolina
professors.
The book, "The Humanities:
Cultural Roots and Continuities,"
was removed from the system's
classrooms after a Baptist minister
objected to some of the language
used in the book. The book remains
available in the school's library.
School officials told The Asso
ciated Press that the minister, Fritz
Fountain, objected to the language
in two selections of the first volume
of the two-volume book.
The pieces in dispute are Chaucer's
"The Miller's Tale" and the Greek
comedy "Lysistrata," written by
Aristophanes in 41 1 B.C.
The Chaucer piece is a parody of
romance in the Middle Ages. Written
in Middle English and translated
into modern English, the story deals
with a university student who sleeps
with his landlord's wife.
"Lysistrata" is a play in which the
women of Greece go on strike to end
a war between Athens and Sparta,
refusing to give the men sex until
they agree to peace.
Roberta Dunbar, a professor in
the African Afro-American studies
department at UNC, was one of the
co-authors. She found out about the
banning from news reports.
"The banning of a book is a very
distressing thing," she said. Dunbar
said she had contributed a section
on Africa to the volume that has been
banned.
The author of the disputed section,
N.C. State Associate Professor Mary
Anne Frese Witt, said she was
surprised by the school board's
decision.
"The book has sold in high
numbers in high schools and colleges
in Florida and throughout the
country," she said. "This has never
happened before (to the book)."
Witt said she had not heard of anv
problems with censoring
"Lysistrata" since the 1960s.
"I'm rather shocked that the
school would be swayed by a vocal
minority of parents," she said.
Dunbar said she has heard of a
countersuit being considered by
other parents in the county. The
American Civil Liberties Union has
also been reported to be considering
legal action over the ban.
"I feel optimistic that they'll
reinstate it at some point," she said.
Other contributing authors are
Charlotte V. Brown and Ronald G.
Witt of Duke University, and Frank
Tirro, a former Duke professor now
teaching at Yale University.
