Jacltsoirt enters Face Dy HELLE NIELSEN Staff Writer The Rev. Jesse Jackson announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination this week end, saying that economic injustice is the critical issue and that a new South will lead the nation to progress. "Just as we replaced racial violence with racial justice, we must replace economic violence with economic justice," Jackson told over 4,000 supporters who crowded the Raleigh Civic Center Saturday. Shorthanded Supreme Court faces big decisions By MICHAEL JORDAN Staff Writer When the U.S. Supreme Court began its 1987-88 session last week, one seat on the judicial bench, vacated last June by Justice Lewis Powell, still remained empty. The court's agenda, although it contains several potential precedent setting cases, has been overshadowed by the problems Judge Robert Bork has encountered in the Senate con firmation hearings for his Supreme Court nomination. During the coming session, the court will consider cases about abortion limitations, pornography, student press, political freedom of speech, a moment of silence in schools We apologize for the misprint in this ad that ran Thursday, October 8, 1987. FACTORY AT FETZER COTTON ON KENAN by J. T-Genkins I have read most of the articles posted in the windows of Johnny T Shirt concerning its lawsuit with UNC. From what I understand, the collegiate licensing program is a good plan and a reasonable plan. If Johnny would join the program, it would only add 6.5 to the cost of the goods. This is not much money and, if the cost is passed on to the customer, then what docs Johnny have to lose? Moreover, since the royalties paid go to a good cause, then that forces the generally uncharitable consumer, usually a student or alumnus, to make an 'official' donation to the Univer sity, always in need of funding. After giving the issue more thought, one can see the vast potential of the University. What is starting with licen sing for a few dollars and merchan dising T-shirts in the Student Stores can lead to much greater things. The University should consider manufact uring the T-Shirts, with a few knitting machines around campus, a yarn, plant in Fetzer Gym, and cotton grown on the athletic fields and Connor Beach. One can easily imagine the bright future of the University. With tax This advertisement was paid What9 The Bi g Deal? It's a Big Deal Meal at: Subuai celebrates 10 qears In the Triangle.

In his 45-minute speech, Jackson also outlined a three-point foreign policy and his strategy for drug abuse prevention. Calling his choice to announce his candidacy in the South "prophetic, Jackson said the South will lead the nation toward social and economic justice. and capital punishment for minors. "(The last two) are the two cases that could split the court 4-4 right now," said Dan Pollitt, UNC Kenan professor of law. Pollitt said it could be several weeks before a new justice is approved by the Senate. "It's up to (Delaware Sen.) Joe Biden, and he might want to do the War Powers Act first," Pollitt said, suggesting the Senate may delay confirmation of whomever Reagan proposes so it can gain a political advantage over the president. Pollitt said he was so surprised at Bork's Friday announcement that he will not withdraw his name from payer funding and the North Carolina Attorney General's office to overower entrepreneurs such as Johnny T hirt, the University can readily diver sify from T-shirts to shoes ("Tar Heel Heels"), high fashion clothing, etc. The thought then gets exciting. Chapel Hill can become a major man ufacturing center. There may be a few protests from people in Burlington and other manufacturing towns, but these people can come here to work and live, giving the University even more potential to build houses, open stores, banks, car dealerships, and insurance companies. There's no end to the potential. I strongly urge the UNC Board of Governors to consider this plan, and give it a chance. As a Tar Heel, I believe this is a good plan and a reasonable plan.

Jackson's announcement came during the second convention of the Rainbow Coalition, a grass roots coalition of the disenfranchised, which endorsed Jackson over the weekend. Addressing economic issues, Jack son spoke strongly against transna tional corporations which close their consideration even though 51 sena tors have publicly declared they will vote against him. Pollitt said Bork's decision will make it harder for liberal to moderate Republicans to win elections in the upcoming year. Bork will not be approved by the Senate, Pollitt said, and Judge Pascal Bowman, former dean of Wake Forest University, may be Reagan's next choice. Coleman Williams, Supreme Court clerk, said the court will follow its regular schedule no matter how many justices it has. The court will meet twice a day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednes days in two-week cycles until the last week of June or the first week of July, Williams said. The court will hear arguments for four cases per day, Williams said. The court may decide to reschedule its major cases so a precedent can be made, but has not yet decided to do so, Williams said. jvoii 9v luvswnu MBennv Htwwny 5 iSSSUmversatCitt Studios, inc. 41TATT v VM fiAAT i , ifhi-u Aj ':. .fef M W .

He called for a new economic direction that will make corporations reinvest in the United States, retrain workers, research for commercial development and convert American industry from building "unnecessary weapon systems" to serving public needs in housing and transportation. With a 4-4 vote, the court would not be able to set a precedent, Pollitt said. It would simply leave the lower court ruling intact. During the last week, the court has been deciding which cases to hear, Williams said. The court has decided to hear 22 new cases in addition to those prescheduled since last year, Williams said. All in all, the court will hear about 150 cases during the session, Williams said. This week, the court will hear only eight cases since it is closed for Columbus Day on Monday, Williams said. One case, Hazelwood School Dis trict vs. Kuhlmeier, challenges the application of First Amendment rights to school press. The court will hear arguments on the case Tuesday afternoon, Williams said. Last week the court rejected appeals of three N.C. rulings, a member of the state Attorney Gener al's staff said. Call your i. .

"If we raise the standard of living of the Third World," Jackson said, "we take away the incentive of multinational corporations to take our jobs to repressed labor markets abroad . . . and create a vast, new market." Saying that the Reagan Adminis tration has shown weak leadership and little vision, Jackson launched what he called "the Jackson Doc trine": foreign policy based on strengthening international law, self determination for other nations and international economic justice. Sounding a familiar campaign theme, Jackson declared drug use a primary threat to the American family. He said policy makers should grapple with the social problems at the root of drug abuse in addition to curtailing the flow of drugs. He proposed supporting alterna tive crops in poor countries that supply drugs and chided the Reagan Administration for cutting funds for U.S. coast guards. Jackson, who polls indicate is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, rejected suggestions that his support in polls is due to name recognition. I wasnt bora with name recog nition; I earned it," Jackson said. "I was born to a teen-age mother. No one knew her name." In the 1984 primary election, Jackson got about 3.5 million votes, mummy Tar HeelMonday, October 12, 19873 or 21 percent of the primary and caucus votes, and finished third behind Walter Mondale and Gary Hart. The National Rainbow Coalition,' which now has 25,000 members, grew? out of Jackson's campaign. :.' But the Rainbow Coalition is a' movement independent of Jackson's 1988 campaign, said Ron Daniels, the. organization's executive director, .at a Friday press conference. The campaign is for a season,' Daniels said. "We (the Coalition) are a permanent political organization and intend to be around well into the, 21st century to change the direction of this country." ! More than 1,000 delegates from 39 states met from Friday to Sunday toj develop their platform for "a new America," said a convention organizer. The Rainbow Coalition and Jackr son helped register two million nevj Democratic voters, which made th6 difference in electing a Democratic majority in the Senate, Daniels said J "In 1984, 85 million people chose not to vote they are the biggest party in the country," Daniels said. J Daniels said that the Rainbow Coalition has expanded enormously across all ethnic and issue lines since 1984, and so has Jackson's support; Although in 1984 Jackson was seen as a candidate for black people only; he now has the support of farmer! labor, peace and environmental groups, Daniels said. ; Merle Hansen, head of North American Farmers' Alliance, said, "Jackson took on the issue (of the fanner crisis) from the beginning and put it on the national agenda." v 1 i hi You remember.
