2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, February 26, 1988 imoi reMe in tategoty, nssmies By CARRIE DOVE Staff Writer Democratic presidential candidate Paul Simon of Illinois is banking on his reputation for sincerity and candor to carry him into the White House, campaign officials around the country said. "His appeal is his honesty and integrity," said Kim McCarthy, executive director for Simon's Virgin ia campaign. Sen. Simon took strong stands on many issues before other candidates were willing to commit themselves, she said. "He was the first candidate to address the issue of balancing the budget," McCarthy said. Simon supports a conservative fiscal policy, said David Karle, press secretary for the national campaign. "He is the authentic pay-as-you-go Democrat," he said. Simon would reduce the defense budget 7 percent by instituting more efficient procurement practices and supporting cheaper weapons, such as the Midgetman instead of the MX missiles or the Stealth instead of the B-l bomber, Karle said. "He would take fiscal and mone tary policy out of conflict, enabling the Federal Reserve Board to lower interest rates (and) lowering the cost of servicing the national debt," he Campaign '88 said. Simon supports increasing federal funds for scholarships for higher education, an excise tax on cigarettes and the elimination of most interna tional trade barriers, Karle said. He opposes constitutional amend ments allowing prayer in schools and outlawing abortion and is against capital punishment, except in the case of a prisoner killing a guard, he said. Simon emphasizes his record of votes in the Senate in his campaign, said Charlotte-area coordinator Chris Arvidson. "Paul Simon is an open book his record speaks for itself," she said. He has authored more successful education bills than all of the other Democratic candidates combined, Karle said. "(Simon) is a champion for edu cation," Arvidson said. Building up the Pell Grant pro gram would be a priority in a Simon administration, Karle said. "It costs more to administer a loan over a long period of time than it does to offer a grant at the begin ning," he said. College graduates are forced to look for jobs with salaries big enough to pay off their student loans, Karle said. "The career choices are dictated by these huge loans, and students are steered toward high-paying jobs so they can pay their debts," he said. One of Simon's bills approved by the Senate offers scholarships to students who intend to be teachers, Karle said. "(Simon) would improve both teacher pay and entry standards," he said. Simon would institute a program similar to the New Deal's Works Progress Administration for citizens on welfare, Karle said. "He wants to offer job opportun ities, not just money," he said. Daycare for children of working parents is also an important issue, Karle said. "(Simon) has been a leader in the Senate to increase on-site daycare," he said. Simon's record on peace and foreign policy issues has gained him many supporters, Arvidson said. The United States should increase development aid to states bordering South Africa so they can maintain their independence, Karle said. Simon also helped to write the bill which instituted sanctions against South Africa, he said. "(Simon) wants to internationalize Paul Simon the U.S. sanctions (and) get other countries to join us," he said. Simon voted against contra aid and supports the Arias Peace Plan, he said. Peace negotiations in the Middle East would receive a lot of attention from a Simon administration, Karle said. "(Simon) would become personally involved in the peace process, as President Carter did," he said. Massage parlor arrests misinterpreted, police say By LAURA GRIMMER Staff Writer A so-called raid on a Hillsborough massage parlor that resulted in the arrest of two employees was actually a "routine inspection," said Orange County Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass. "The Chapel Hill Newspaper made a mistake when they said we made a raid last Friday night," Pendergrass said. "What I, as a police officer, think constitutes a raid is when we go with a search warrant looking to arrest someone. That didn't happen." The Chapel Hill Newspaper printed in an expose Sunday that sexual acts were being offered for money at the Esquire Health Club at the intersection of Interstate 85 and N.C. Hwy. 86 in Hillsborough. After a reporter called the sheriffs office, investigators went over there on a regular, routine inspection, Pender grass said. 3)n n Li Uv J f ALL RUGS 20 OFF Now throush March 1 3 All of our ru$s dhurries, ra3 rusv cottons and wools, all sizes - are on sale at 90 OFF.

University Square Chapel Hill 967-8935 "It was ironic that two of the new girls did not have licenses, so we wrote them up," Pendergass said. In order to work in a massage parlor in Orange County, a person must get a license. Officials check the backgrounds of the prospective masseuses for any previous convictions in any type of sexual case, he said. "We customarily go by all the massage parlors, checking on the girls' licenses," Pendergrass said. But to check for actual solicitation offering sexual acts for money is a different story. "We don't allow our officers to disrobe in the line of duty," he said. "That would put our integrity in question, and we won't stoop to that level. "It's not necessary to totally dis robe to get a massage," Pendergrass said. Employees at Esquire Health Club declined to comment about the incident. P ita snacks go well in any basket. . .

Franklin St., Chapel Hill 942-3116 Panamanian president fires military chief, names successor From Associated Press reports PANAMA CITY, Panama President Eric Arturo Delvalle ordered the nation's military chief, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, out of his post on Thursday and named a replacement. In a nationally broadcast mes sage, Delvalle said he had asked Noriega several days ago to step down voluntarily, but the general declined. Delvalle appointed current chief of staff Col. Marcos Justine as Noriega's replacement. Noriega, as head of the military, has been considered the power behind Panama's civilian government. The Reagan administration publicly called for Noriega to step down following his indictment on drug trafficking charges in Febru ary by a federal grand jury in Miami. White House defends Reagan WASHINGTON The White House attempted Thursday to clarify some of President Reagan's news conference answers, playing down his claim that outsiders were stirring up trouble in Israeli occupied territories and arguing that an apparent contradiction with Secretary of State George Shultz on Iran arms sales was a matter of interpretation. Reagan said he believes the unrest in the Israeli occupied territories stems from outside sources. However, Shultz, en route to the Middle East, gave a different slant on the cause of the problem, blaming the violent unrest on longtime Israeli occupation of the territories. White House spokesman Mar lin Fitzwater said the comments of Reagan and Shultz "are totally consistent as far as we're concerned." Shultz arrives amidst violence JERUSALEM Israeli sold iers shot two Arabs dead in the occupied lands and wounded several others Thursday, a day of News in Brief strikes and violence that inaugu rated the peace mission of Secre tary of State George Shultz. Shultz will use Jerusalem as a base for five days of talks in Israel, Syria, Egypt and Jordan about U.S. ideas for ending the violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and reviving Middle East peace negotiations. Shultz urged Israel on Thursday to negotiate a prompt and final agreement with the Arabs about the violence-plagued occupied territories. Campaign finance bill ready WASHINGTON Senators weary from two days of nonstop debate fired their parting shots over a Democratic campaign finance bill Thursday and braced for a showdown vote that prob ably will doom any chance of passing the politically charged legislation this year. Sen. David Boren, D-Okla., conceded that "negotiations have fallen apart" because of GOP opposition to proposed voluntary spending limits on Senate campaigns. The measure calls for voluntary ceilings on Senate campaign spending, depending on the state's population. Swaggart sanctions considered SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - The hierarchy of the Assemblies of God met Thursday to consider toughening the punishment of television evangelist Jimmy Swag gart after an admitted prostitute said she had performed pornogra phic acts for him for about a year. The church's Executive Presby tery was to consider a recommen dation by its Louisiana district that Swaggart, the denomination's most prominent minister, be barred from preaching for three months and undergo counseling during a supervised two-year rehabilitation period.
