The N.C. Coalition for Judicial
Responsibility, a group of 16 civil
rights and professional organizations,
held a press conference Monday at
the state Capitol to protest the
nomination of Robert Bork to the
Supreme Court.
The coalition, formed in Sep
tember, is working on the state and
national level to oppose Bork's
confirmation, said Ruth Ziegler,
spokeswoman for the N.C. National
Abortion Rights Action League
(NARAL). The league is a member
of the coalition.
The lobby against Bork has been
the broadest coalition effort in North
Carolina in years, she said.

Orange County was declared eli
gible for federal disaster relief funds
along with nine other North Carolina
counties following the excessive heat
and drought this summer.
The U.S. Department of Agricul

Sept. 25 that Caswell, Chowan,
Cumberland, Greene, Johnston,
Orange, Sampson, Wayne and Wil

drought-relief aid.
The county has already been

Despite unseasonably cold weather
in the state, agriculture officials said
Monday they are not concerned
about extensive crop damage.
"For the most part, our crops are
far enough along so that the weather
won't damage them much," said Carl

Ziegler said. The National Associa

Organization for Women, N.C. Civil
Liberties Union, N.C. Association of

complaints against Bork on separate
issues, she said.
All the speakers praised Sen. Terry
Sanford, D-N.C. for announcing his
opposition to Bork, Ziegler said.

of issues that this man (Bork) has

An emergency feed program will
be available for farmers who lost
more than 40 percent of the crops
grown for livestock feed.
"The loss has to be at least 40
percent for them to qualify for aid,"
said Bill Mainous, agricultural exten

"The loss depends on the size of the
farm. There's no dollar figure on it,
or else the large farms would qualify
more easily than the small ones."

president-elect of the N.C. Associa
tion of Educators (NCAE).
Garr said the NCAE stresses three
key issues in its opposition to Bork:
integration, gender equality and
interpretation of the First Amend
ment. Teachers would be teaching
freedom of speech without actually
having such freedom, she said.
w(Bork) believes in freedom of
speech only for explicitly political
reasons, and this is something he said
this year," Garr said. "We, as
teachers, are model citizens for our
students; and what kind of model can
we be when we dont speak out for
our convictions?"
Bork's rulings against labor in cases
dealing with workers' rights is a sore
point for the AFL-CIO, said Chris
Scott, president of AFL-CIO's N.C.
directors of Orange County agricul
ture agencies, has submitted an
application for a third type of relief,
Mainous said. The program would
make direct payment to farmers who
need to replant grass crops for
conservation purposes.
The county has not received word
on whether the conservation program
will be available to farmers.
"But overall, losses are less than
last year's," Mainous said. "Fewer
people will qualify for disaster
assistance."
Last summer's drought affected
almost all farmers in the county, said
Katherine Wilkerson of the Agricul
ture Stabilization Conservation Ser

The temperature would have to
stay below freezing for a significant
period of time to cause real damage,
he said, but some crops could freeze
overnight if it were cold enough.
. Temperatures will range between
the mid-30s and the low 70s for the
next week or two, but data is not
reliable, enough to make a more
extended forecast, said spokesmen
for the National Weather Service.

chapter. Bork's views on worker
safety are particularly bad, Scott said,
citing a case when Bork upheld an
American Cyaninate company

be sterilized or lose her job.
Members of the N.C. AFL-CIO
have sent about 5,000 letters to Sens.

encouraging them to oppose the Bork
nomination, Scott said.
Many of the groups in the coalition
have not worked together previously,
and the coalition has opened doors
between members for future support,
Ziegler said.
Scott said, "I expect the coalition
to re-form quite soon after Bork is
rejected to fight the (possible) nom

vice. Orange County received all three
types of aid last year.
Relief funds were paid last year to
222 Orange County farmers and feed
was provided to 88 applicants.
Wilkerson said many of the farmers
had lost as much as 70 percent of
their feed crops.
Wilkerson estimated that about
1,200 to 1,500 farms are operating in
Orange County. The FAC estimated
that county farmers experienced a 60
percent loss of corn, 80 percent loss
of soybeans, 50 percent loss of hay,
55 percent loss of pasture, 60 percent
loss of grain and sorghum crops and
25 percent loss of tobacco, the
county's largest cash crop.

the spokesmen said.
Most of the unharvested crops in
N.C. fields are hardy, temperature
resistant crops, Edwards said. Crops
like cabbage, peanuts and sweet
potatoes are not easily killed by cold.
Tom Rudisill, crop insurance
manager with the N.C. Farm Bureau
Federation, said some farmers have
a guaranteed production insurance so
they will not lose money if at least
25 percent of their crop is destroyed.
The weather patterns do not indi
cate a great loss of crops this season,
Rudisill said.

Iraqi planes make air strikes
on Iranian oil targets in gulf
From Associated Press reports
MANAMA, Bahrain Iraqi
planes struck five tankers, includ
ing the world's largest, in raids
Monday on Iranian oil targets at
both ends of the Persian Gulf, and
Iran fired a missile into Baghdad.
The missile was the first to strike
the Iraqi capital in nearly eight
months. Authorities there said it
killed many people, but did not
give figures.
Japanese owners ordered their
ships out of the perilous Persian
Gulf, where Iran and Iraq have
been at war since September 1980.
In a separate incident three
crewmen of a U.S. Marine heli
copter were rescued and a fourth
was listed as missing after a crash
during a night operation in the
central gulf, the Navy said. It
reported no "hostile activity"
involved in the second helicopter
crash since U.S. warships began
escort operations more than two
months ago.
Bork nomination loses ground
WASHINGTON Robert
Bork's Supreme Court hopes
suffered major new setbacks Mon
day as Senate Majority Leader
Robert Byrd, a conservative
Democratic senator, and two
liberal Republicans declared
opposition to his confirmation.
Byrd had been publicly unde
cided, even suggesting that he and
other Senate Judiciary Committee
members should send the nomi
nation to the Senate floor without
taking a stand on it when they vote
Tuesday.
But on Monday he called the
nomination "doomed," said Pres-
For the
In Monday's article, "Congress
elections," comments by District 20
candidate Kenneth Haywood were
incorrectly attributed to District 15
candidate Christopher Gould.
To avoid confusion, interviews
with all District 20 candidates are
being reprinted. The Daily Tar Heel
regrets the reporting error.
District 20
Timothy Faulkner, a senior polit
ical science major from Newport
News, Va., is running because he
"likes politics, and wants to represent
the district instead of sitting back
reading about things."
If elected, Faulkner said he would
concentrate on funding for organiza
tions and support for campus activ
ities. To him, all activities are
important. "You d6nt just go to
school to sit in a classroom," he said.
Faulkner also supports the pass
fail proposal to allow students to
select target grades in pass fail
classes.
Setting up informational booths in
the Pit to promote student awareness
will be among the services Faulkner
said he would provide. "I encourage
students to vote for what they
support," he said.
By making himself visible to
students and setting up a suggestion
box, he will stay accessible to stu
dents. "I'm always open to sugges
tion," Faulkner said.
Kenneth Haywood is a junior
political science major from Raleigh.
Haywood said he is running so he
can do something about the issues on

News in Brief
ident Reagan shouldn't have
picked Bork in the first place and
suggested that withdrawing the
nomination "would spare Mr.
Bork."
At the White House, Reagan
said he would fight on, declaring
that only "over my dead body"
would the nomination be defeated
before reaching the full Senate.
In addition to Byrd, Sens.
Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz.,
Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., and
John Chafee, R-R.I., left the
undecided camp for the
opposition.
Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif.,
who counts noses as the Demo
cratic whip, said he now counts
53 opposed and 42 in favor with
five senators' positions unknown.
Taking job harassment to court
WASHINGTON The U.S.
Supreme Court agreed Monday to .
hear an appeal by a black woman
from North Carolina who wants
to use a post-Civil War law to
force her employer to pay actual
and punitive damages for alleged
harassment.
The court's review could
broaden the remedy for workers
who claim to be victims of on-the-job
racial harassment.
Last November, the fourth U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals upheld
a ruling by a federal judge in
Winston-Salem, who threw out a
suit by Brenda Patterson against
her employer, McLean Credit
Union.

campus in which he would not
otherwise be able to have a say.
"IVe seen many issues that people
complain about, but they cant do
anything about unless they Ve got the
authority and backing," he said.
Student government should be a
channel for the students to voice their
views to the Chapel Hill town council
and tp the University administration,
Haywood said.
Haywood said he is very much in
favor of the proposed pass fail target
grade system. He would also like to
pursue a way for students with
questions to be able to get in touch
with professors after finals are over,
he said. ; , ,
If elected, Haywood would keep
in touch with his constituency
through personal contact, he said.
"IH have an open-door policy so
people can come to see me or call
me to voice their concerns," he said.
David Lewis is a senior political
science major from Raleigh.
Lewis, a transfer from East Caro
lina University, said that he is running
so that he can get involved in campus
activities here. He was previously
involved in student government at
ECU.
One important service he would try
to perform is to promote student,
awareness through student govern
ment. "I'd like to get students more
aware of student government, less
concerned with parties," Lewis said.
Lewis said he would be accessible
to students by "going around talking
to people."
