2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, October 26, 1988 World and Nation r. ' - - ' '4, . Typhoon IRoby slunk From Associated Press reports ' M AN I L A, Philippines Rescuers said Tuesday they had found only 15 survivors from the 500 people on a ship sunk by Typhoon Ruby, which hit shore with 140 mph winds that flattened thousands of homes and took at least 97 lives. '. Darkness and bad weather forced an overnight suspension of the search for survivors of the Dona Marilyn, which replaced the Dona Paz on the Sulpicio Lines run between Manila and Tacloban. The Dona Paz sank Dec. 20, 1987, after a collision off Mindoro Island. The official death toll was 1,749, but some estimates say 3,000 people may have died. More than 100,000 Filipinos were made homeless by Ruby, which was reported in the South China Sea late Tuesday, heading west with top winds of about 100 mph. ; In suburban Manila, U.S. and stoop on Mamiia Philippine helicopters rescued hundreds of people stranded on rooftops and in trees by the flooding Marikina River. Coast Guard officials said the 2,845-ton passenger liner sank Mon day in the Visayas Sea about 300 miles southeast of Manila. It was was carrying 451 passengers and 60 crew members from Manila to Tacloban on Leyte Island when it radioed a distress call, said Carlos Go, general manager of Sulpicio Lines. Lt. Rey Esguerra of the coast guard station in Cebu said rescuers had found 11 survivors on Maripipi Island and another small island, and four people were found alive in the water. Vicente Gambito, vice president of Sulpicio, put the number rescued at 18. There was no explanation for the discrepancy. The Dona Paz was overloaded with passengers bound for Manila to spend Christmas with relatives when it and a tanker collided in a busy shipping lane off Mindoro last December. Its sister ship, the Dona Marilyn, went down Monday on the Manila Tacloban run. The ships were auth orized to carry about 1,400 pas sengers and crew. Officials reported 25 people miss ing because of Typhoon Ruby at Cagayan de Oro, a coastal city on Mindanao Island, and 15 unac counted for after a crowded bus plunged into a swollen river Monday in Antique province. The Red Cross said 26 bodies were recovered from the bus. Floods on Luzon and other islands caused landslides and washed away bridges. Carlos Dominguez, the agriculture secretary, said preliminary estimates put damage to crops at nearly $46 million, but casualty and damage reports were incomplete because of poor communications. Figures compiled from the Red Cross and government agencies showed 26 dead in Antique province, 20 in Occidental Mindoro, 15 in Zamboanga del Sur, 1 1 in Cagayan de Oro, 11 in Manila's Marikina suburb, six on Camiguin Island, three in Nueva Ecija, two in Surigao City and one each in Pampanga, Bulacan and Iloilo. Ruby's center passed about 50 miles east of Manila early Tuesday and swept into the Tarlac, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija provinces, the archipelago's main rice-growing region, the national weather service reported. Campaigning coimtinues as Bush leads in po s From Associated Press reports George Bush strove Tuesday to maintain a hefty lead in the polls, charging that Michael Dukakis is appealing to "division, fear and envy" in his comeback bid. Said Dukakis, "We're just working hard and we're going to win." The two rivals clashed in commer cials and campaign rhetoric as fresh nationwide surveys rated Bush the double-digit leader two weeks before Election Day. The vice president said in Ohio that Dukakis was an advocate for eco nomic policies "far outside the mainstream," policies that resemble European socialism more than Amer ican free enterprise. His aides pre viewed a television commercial accus ing the Democratic presidential candidate of deliberately misleading voters about his record as governor. Dukakis renewed his own com plaints about Republican ads as he campaigned on the ground in Cali fornia and on television through commercials and a 90-minute appear ance on ABC's "Nightline." "Now they've got a tank ad (that) has all kinds of misstatements and outright falsehoods," Dukakis said. "We Democrats are for a strong defense." Democratic running mate Lloyd Bentsen added his voice. He said in their ads, Republicans accuse Duka kis of opposing the Stealth bomber and the Pershing II missile. "And that's a lie and they know it," he said. A survey by CBS and the New York Times gave Bush a 54-41 lead among probable voters. The Gallup Organization had the race at 53-39 among likely voters in calls made Tuesday through Friday. Both sur veys had margins of potential, sam pling error of plus or minus three percentage points. The surveys indicated Bush has solidified his advantage in the two weeks since the last presidential debate. But even before the surveys were released, Dukakis aides were busy trying to cast doubt on the results. These aides, speaking on condition they not be identified, said internal campaign polling showed a six-point lead for the Republican ticket, down from 10 points last week. They said Dukakis' recent populist-style rhe toric and allegations of Republican campaign lies were scoring points. Spokesman Dayton Duncan added, "Our polling shows by an overwhelming margin people are blaming Bush for this negative campaign. The campaign air war was relentless. . Bush's aides previewed a commer cial saying Dukakis "deliberately misled" debate viewers when he denied that he'd taken money from the Massachusetts pension fund to help balance the state budget. "And Michael Dukakis says George Bush is running a campaign of lies?" a narrator asks. "Michael Dukakis is unbelievable." Dukakis countered with a series of four commercials showing himself and Bentsen asking viewers to imagine a better America. "As pres ident, Michael Dukakis will be oil your side," says the narrator. Bush dispatched surrogates to rebut Democratic charges of unfair campaign tactics. Bentseim, Jackson call Republican ads racist By SANDY WALL Staff Writer Vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen and Democrat Jesse Jackson have charged George Bush's cam paign with racism following its recent attacks on Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis and the Massachu setts prison furlough program. ; The Bush campaign has highlight ed convicted murderer Willie Horton and the Massachusetts furlough program in recent television ads as examples of the governor's alleged softness on crime. : Horton, a black man who was serving a life term for murder, escaped while on furlough in 1986 and raped a white woman and stabbed her husband in Maryland. Horton, who was not eligible for parole in Massachusetts, is now serving time in Maryland. The Massachusetts program has since been changed to exclude con victed first-degree murderers from furlough. Bush is using scare tactics and racial overtones while he distorts Dukakis' record, Bentsen and Jack son said Sunday. The charges are ridiculous and an example of desperation politics, Bush's campaign responded.

Bush campaign. "We can expect the Dukakis campaign to try anything" to win the election. A spokesman for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Baltimore said the organization, had not yet issued any v comment. Elizabeth Bartle" deputy " press secretary for the Dukakis campaign in Boston, said in a telephone inter view there is an element of racist appeal in the ads. "We would hate if the election was decided on this kind of packaging," she said. Amy DeHart, director of commun- L American Heart Association ications for the Dukakis-Bentsen campaign in Raleigh, said Bush was using fear tactics to scare people into voting for him. "I think the charges are absurd," said Dave Sandor, a Bush campaign spokesman in Washington. The racism charge clouds the furlough. issue, he said. C ; Dukakis' record on crime is the real" issue, he said, and Bush is using the Horton case to illustrate the gover nor's stand on crime. "The issue is not the race of Willie Horton," he said. "Raising the specter of racism in this case is totally unfounded." Tonya Mitchell, a spokeswoman for the Rainbow Coalition in Chi cago, said the organization had no comment on the tone of the Bush ads. But as president of the Rainbow Coalition, Jackson speaks for the organization, she said. f iY?3i ft rrfiN noN INTERESTED IN HELPING OTHERS? ARE YOU A HAM? ARE YOU A GOOD MANAGER?

Pinochet compares defeat to rejection of Jesus Christ From Associated Press reports SANTIAGO, Chile Presi dent Augusto Pinochet on Tues day compared his referendum defeat to the spurning of Christ, and an opposition leader said he was "abusing the people's patience" by refusing calls for democratic reform. In a speech to about 3,000 women volunteers, a solemn Pinochet declared: "We were defeated in a plebiscite, defeated but not vanquished. "Dont forget that in world history there was a plebiscite in which the people chose between Christ and Barabbas. And the people chose Barabbas," the general said. "The people sometimes make mistakes," Pinochet added. According to the Bible, the Romans offered to set free either Christ or Barabbas, a common criminal, just before their crucifix ion. The crowd chose Barabbas. The audience, a private wom an's organization headed by Pinochet's wife Lucia, applauded loudly. On Oct. 5, voters rejected a pro posal by the country's military commanders that Pinochet, who seized power in a bloody 1973 coup, remain president until 1997. As a result he was obliged to call an open election, planned for December 1989, and hand power over to the winner in March 1990. Verdict rules against Klan ATLANTA The Ku Klux Klan and 12 individuals must pay about $1 million to 53 civil rights marchers who were pelted with rocks and bottles during a dem onstration in virtually all-white Forsyth County, according to a verdict unsealed Tuesday. The activists marched into the county north of Atlanta on Jan. 17, 1987, and were attacked by counter-demonstrators, many of them Klan members or sympathizers. Named as defendants in the U.S. District Court lawsuit were the Southern White Knights of the KKK, the Invisible Empire Knights of the KKK and 12 . individuals. .., r-. " , V lTheury reached Its verdict Oct. 5, but ; judge -Charles Moye Jr. ordered it sealed to give marchers who brought the lawsuit time to decide whether to join Atlanta City Councilman Hosea Williams, News in Brief who wanted to drop the lawsuit. Army helicopter crashes OCOTILLO, Calif. An Army National Guard helicopter on a nighttime anti-drug smug gling mission clipped a power line and smashed into a desert hillside, killing the five lawmen and three guardsmen aboard, officials said Tuesday. The fiery crash Monday came on the first night of Operation Border Ranger, a joint anti-drug smuggling program conducted by six Southern California sheriffs departments and the federal, government, said National Guard Maj. Steve Mensik. The program to stem the flow of drugs into the United States from Mexico has been suspended while the accident investigation is t carried out, he said. The UH-1H aircraft crashed while investigating a car parked on a remote access road off Inte state 8 in the Mountain Springs Grade area, about 70 miles east of San Diego, Mensik said. Whale rescuers continue efforts BARROW, Alaska With' ; two Soviet icebreakers drawing near and oil field workers rigging a rake for an ice-smashing tractor, rescuers Tuesday stepped up efforts to free two whales trapped nearly three weeks m an icy tangle. The international rescue, called ' Operation Breakthrough, was" scheduled to be put in motion. Wednesday with the Soviet ves-. sels, Eskimos with chainsaws and an unusual vehicle called an. Archimedes screw tractor acting in . concert. . Rescuers, meanwhile, received" one bit of good news about the jumbled mass of ice.

Another problem with the CCR's effectiveness is the direct correlation between students with good grades and good evaluations, Salemi said. "Very often the students anticipat ing a good grade give their instructor a good evaluation,'' he said. "This could be a case of excellence recog nizing excellence, or it could be a case of not wanting to rattle the cage." Another problem with the CCR is that the average student does not give enough constructive criticism to the instructor, said Sandy Rierson, Student Government chairwoman of academic issues. "Ideally, since we are paying for our education, we should complain when our teachers aren't teaching well, and we should compliment them when we think they are teaching well," she said. "But many students are not familiar with giving construc tive criticism, and they won't give it if they aren't taught and encouraged to give it." Students must become more con cerned about the quality of teaching, rl "I'm concerned that too many students are satisfied with the teach-- students are satisfied with teaching that is not as good as it should be. " The solution is not to replace the -r i . . A T 1 ' J r- . 4 i niiT rr imrTTirf it cam "The course review has the sterling" quality of familiarity," he said. "I haven't found anything better. The students like it and the faculty is familiar with it. We need to work with' what we've got. We shouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water, so to speak." A companion evaluation system to the CCR should be created, Neal said. "The course review is not an. inadequate instrument," he said. "It just isn't enough. It needs a compan-. ion evaluation system. . . It's possible to create a system utilizing data from a variety of sources.
