2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, September 18, 1987 &e Ml to MinrnStt nmrooirt By MEG CRADDOCK Staff Writer In an effort to curb trade deficits, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday limiting imports of textiles. Even though the bill passed the House, it will have an uphill struggle before it becomes law, said Jim Jordan, press secretary to Rep. David Price, D-N.C. The bill is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote, Jordan said. Even if it passes there, many people feel that President Reagan will veto it, he said. "This first vote was really to see if the resolution could get the two thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto," he said. "This vote was 10 votes short of two-thirds." Reagan vetoed a similar resolution last year, Jordan said. The new resolution is similar to the old one but has been revised to make it more popular, Jordan said. "A lot of the problems that the critics had with it last year have been corrected," he said. "This resolution gives the president a lot more flex ibility in deciding where to limit imports." The resolution is not designed to curb imports altogether, but rather to slow them down to a 1 percent growth rate every year, Jordan said. "It's really an interim device to allow domestic producers time to bring in new technologies and make their companies more efficient," Jordan said. "They need to do this to be able to compete internationally. This bill gives them more time." IT The textile bill is important to the North Carolina economy, said Den nis Julian, executive vice president of the N.C. Textile Manufacturers. "I think the effect will be positive because imports will be limited and we will be able to share in the American markets more," he said. The textile market, traditionally one of the strongest in North Caro lina, has suffered recently because of increased imports, Julian said. Since 1974 about 80,000 jobs have been lost in the industry, he said. &ID)lD)glll ice et mew Imoioirs By CHARLA PRICE Staff Writer To better accommodate students and faculty wishing to appeal parking tickets, the Transportation and Parking Appeals Office is offering new hours to hear in-person appeals. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, the appeals office in the basement of the Campus Y building will be open for those who receive one of the 15,000 parking citations issued each year. The in-person system will allow people with tickets to find out immediately if their appeals have been granted. Jacqueline Overton of the appeals office said the changes were made to enable people to voice their concerns as well as find out the status of their citations. "We know that parking is bad on campus, and we want to help diffuse For the Record the frustration that people often encounter when they receive cit ations," she said. In addition to handling appeals, the office will also give parking informa tion to students who are unaware of parking alternatives. Overton said many students don't know about parking alternatives, so they park in illegal lots when their lots are full instead of using specified overflow lots. The office views each appeal Grievances individually, Overton said, looking at the past parking history of the appellant and taking several factors into consideration. "We don't have anything etched in stone," she said. "We prefer to look at all the factors involved, and this flexibility usually proves to the appellant's advantage." People who can't visit the office during the stated hours may place completed appeal forms in a box outside the appeals office. from page 1 Due to an editing error, Thursday's District of Columbia since 1982.

"The director is so determined to have his reorganization that he doesn't care what problems it causes in the department," she said. m f m I s 1 -""Y 1 J jxaras cfaffect m 5' i fr HI i E $20ormore) I kllril 1 i it , - a 1 mm w fZZZl Fl W ! with coupon only lr-H L gyrj Oj expires 11787 ka.' -inrr !

Fawaz Younis, a Shiite Mos lem, was being arraigned before a U.S. magistrate in Washington on charges of hostage-taking, conspiracy and destruction of an aircraft, which could result in life imprisonment if he is convicted, said Justice Department officials. The indictment said that Younis and four co-conspirators boarded the plane armed with AK-47 assault rifles. "This represents the first over seas arrest by U.S. law enforce ment officials of a suspected terrorist being sought under U.S. laws," Attorney General Edwin Meese said in a statement released to the press. Message balloons in Laos NAKON PHANOM, Thailand Thai authorities on Wednesday blocked relatives of missing Amer ican soldiers from launching 2,500 message-laden balloons into Laos but allowed the balloons to float down the Mekong River. The messages offered $2.4 mil lion in rewards to anyone who rescued American servicemen the group believes have been held prisoner since the Indochina War. Six members of the American group lost relatives during the long war in which about 2,400 service men are still listed as missing in action. Of these, 544 were lost in Laos. Robin Owen Bell of Fuquay Varina, whose father's plane was shot down in Laos in 1968, broke down in sobs when a dozen policemen prevented the group from launching their balloons. After talks between the two sides, authorities allowed the river launch. Bill Hendon, a former Repub lican congressmen from North Carolina, said the small packages were heading downstream along a route where he claimed a number of Americans had been sighted. Biden admits past plagiarism WASHINGTON Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., admitted Thursday that he committed pla giarism in law school 23 years ago News in Brief but dismissed the furor over his failure to attribute the words of others in his speeches as "much ado about nothing." At a Capitol Hill news confer ence, the presidential hopeful released law school records that disclosed his plagiarism at Syra cuse University in 1965 and said, MI did not intentionally move to mislead anybody. "I did something very stupid 23 years ago," Biden said. "Little did I know I would be standing before the whole world acknowledging the fact I did not know how to write a legal memorandum and the mistake is costing me as much as it is costing me." Biden also admitted a series of errors in not attributing quotes correctly in several campaign speeches this year. But Biden said fellow presidential hopeful Rev. Jesse Jackson called to say he also uses phrases Biden has been accused of lifting. Shultz, Soviets continue talks WASHINGTON Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard She vardnadze decided Thursday to extend their talks on a missile reduction treaty, and a Soviet spokesman said "history is in the making." Shultz and Shevardnadze scrapped plans for a midday windup and separate news confer ences, sent down to the State Department cafeteria for sand wiches and pressed on with their talks over a treaty to eliminate intermediate-range missies. Bork complains of criticisms WASHINGTON Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork, complaining of unfair attacks by critics, bristled Thursday over accusations that he favors unbridled presidential power and complained that his record is being misrepresented. Bork, in his third day of ques tioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee and facing a fourth day Friday, engaged in a tense exchange with Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and expressed frustration about a news report "rlpcprihincr h fniil that; her ie st - racist;, y ' ' -. Man i re's . ; .
