2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, March 4, 1987 peakeir By MATT BIVENS Staff Writer The relationship between China and the United States has evolved from hostility and distrust to coop eration, and it should remain stable through any crisis, an international relations expert told a full house at Hanes Art Center Tuesday night. Dr. Steven Levine, an associate professor of international relations at American University in Washing ton, D.C. discussed "China and the United States: Emerging Relations," the sixth lecture of eight in the Great Decisions 7 series. It has been 1 5 years since President Nixon traveled to Beijing (formerly Peking) to meet with Chairman Mao Tse-tung, a historic event that changed the complexion of Sino American relations for years to come, Levine said. "Up until then, the U.S.-China relationship had been mired in N.C. official calls for leader: By PAUL CORY Staff Writer The Democratic Party is being called upon to provide leadership for both North Carolina and the nation, N.C. Attorney General Lacy Thorn burg told about 14 people during a meeting of the Young Democrats in the Student Union Tuesday night. "1 see 1988 as test year and as an opportunity for the Democrats to take back the White House." Thorn burg said. Thornburg also predicted success for the Democrats in the 1988 gubernatorial contest in North Carolina. Thornburg said that the latest polls actually show how weak Republican Gov. Jim Martin is, although they show Martin leading Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan, his likely Democratic opponent, by a substan tial margin. Multi-talented entertainer Danny Kaye, 74, dies From Associated Press reports LOS ANGELES Comedian Danny Kaye, who enthralled adults and youngsters alike with tongue twisting patter in such films as "Hans Christian Andersen" and "The Court Jester," died Tuesday at the age of American Heart Association mm -1 '-it -"Jt ' 4 -fill-" 1-12 -v ' " ' ' -" ?

Before World War 11, the United States and China were relatively unconcerned with each other, but after the war and the Chinese Revolution of 1949, acokl war began that lasted until Nixon's visit in the 1970s, Levine said. During the cold war, the U.S. government viewed all revolutions with distrust, while the Chinese government embraced them and waited for the capitalist government of the United States to fall to communism, he said. The Chinese government issued a proclamation in the 1960s which supported Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights march on Washington, because they saw it as a possible communist revolution. Levine said. The polls show that 43 percent of the voters would cast a ballot for Martin, while only 28 percent would vote for Jordan, Thornburg said. "If he (Martin) is popular enough to win, then he should have better than a 50 percent rating," Thornburg said. Thornburg said he expects Jordan to show more leadership in the coming months, especially on issues such as the placement of nuclear waste dumps and funding for assist ance programs. "As the weeks go on, 1 think you will see a developing difference between where these two men stand," Thornburg said. During a question-and-answer period, Thornburg said the governor does not need veto power. The governor has a strong hand in the N.C. General Assembly because he appoints so many people, Thornburg 74. The red-haired star, who worked his way up from busboy to Broad way, TV and the movies and inter national honors, died of heart failure brought on by complications of internal bleeding and hepatitis, publicist Warren Cowan said.

Military ties between the United States and China have given way in importance to economic and cultural ties, Levine said. Economic trade between the two countries has increased from a total of $5 million in 1971 to $9 billion in 1986. as the Chinese people work to acquire Western technology to further develop their country, he said. Levine said Mao Tse-tung pre tended the Chinese were far more powerful and self-sufficient than they truly were, and the people are now aware that they need to modernize their country. "Mao Tse-tung was like the Wizard of Oz in his ability to puff up the Chinese appearance of power said. "Governors have always had a tremendous impact on the state (without veto power)," he said. Thornburg criticized the proposed plan to look into the merit selection of judges. "1 am one of those people who think it is proper to elect judges, having been elected several times myself," Thornburg said. Thornburg was an N.C. Superior Court Judge from 1967 to 1983. Thornburg said North Carolina's pornography law is constitutional. It was carefully patterned to comply with guidelines set by the U.S. Supreme Court for dealing with obscene material, he said. An N.C. Appeals Court recently ruled that the law was constitutional, he said. However, the case is being appealed to the N.C. Supreme Kaye, who also starred in such film classics as "White Christmas" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," was hospitalized Sunday and had been in extremely critical con dition, hospital spokesman Ron Wise said.

Cultural exchanges have also increased dramatically. More than 20,000 Chinese students are studying in the United States, he said. The Chinese government wants these students to bring what they have learned back to China to aid modernization, but many students are attracted by the American way of life and choose to remain in the United States, he said. Conservatives, gaining power in the Chinese Communist Party, are opposed to the growth of cultural exchanges betweeen the two coun tries, because they fear western ideas may become popular in China, Levine said. "There is a feeling of fear (among conservatives) that if the floodgates of western culture are opened, the worst of the western culture will corrupt China." Lacy Thornburg Court. "1 feel comfortable with it (the law)," Thornburg said. "Whether the courts will continue to agree with it, I don't know." President Reagan said the come dian "could light up a room by just smiling." Kaye became an advocate for the world's children. "A comedian, actor, singer and conductor, Danny Kaye delighted millions the world over with his special talent for making us laugh," Reagan said. "Children, especially, felt his warmth and humanity, and he enjoyed a special bond with his young audiences."

First Lady pictured as 'dragon' WASHINGTON Nancy Reagan, victorious in her cam paign to drive Donald Regan from the White House, is sud denly being pictured as everything from "a dragon" to a "power hungry first lady" who has made her husband appear wimpish and helpless. But Mrs. Reagan's supporters say it's nonsense to assert that the '40s working women documented in fflm By MARY PARADESES Staff Writer World War II brought a whole new population into the workforce. While men were serving in Europe, women took over the jobs left behind. The documentary film, "The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter," deals with the influx of women to the work force, a subject many Americans are ignorant about, Connie Field, the film's director, told a group of students who viewed the film. Field filmed 40 women who were part of the wartime work force, eventually using five of the interviews in the documentary. The women spoke about their experiences with prejudice, racism and unions. "The film has been shown to unions, and there has been no hostility," Field said.

Field said she chose the women because of their outgoing personal ities and their abilities to discuss the many issues that face women who worked. The women had worked as welders, in shipyards and in factories. Field said her interest in the subject stemmed from her work as an organizer of the women's movement. If she did a documentary on women now, she would focus on the myth that women are liberated, Field said. It was a discrepancy for women to claim to "have it all," because it is hard to be a working mother, she said.
