"We have been working to build better schools with better payment for better teachers," Martin said. "We raised the money that was needed to build the highways that have been long overdue and long overpromised. ... As a team, North Carolina has won 100,000 new jobs a year. . . . Surely, North Carolina is on a roll." Jordan was asked if he supported some of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis' more liberal mea sures and if he deliberately obscured his stance on these issues to win the "redneck vote" in North Carolina. "He (Dukakis) is an excellent candidate,"Jordan responded. "He's my candidate, and I support him." Jordan added, however, that he would not tell his supporters "one thing and then do another." Jordan was also asked why he didn't work harder for the passage of a gubernatorial veto, something The judges were Sam Ervin, 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; Harry Martin, N.C.

The questions focused on three main topics: appellate briefs, oral arguments and the decision-making processes of the courts, However, in many cases the questioning went beyond these topics to shed light on other aspects of the courts.

"The bottom line is, Bob Jordan accomplished more than any lieuten ant governor in the history of this state." Martin was criticized in one ques tion for taking the credit for an increase in education funding that was actually implemented by former Gov. Jim Hunt. When asked if he put a higher priority on tax cuts than the Basic Education Program, Martin said he had eliminated several taxes and was proud of his record of supporting public schools and tax cuts. Martin was also asked why he submitted a budget that exceeded the state's limit by $120 million. The budget had been drawn up prema turely before revenue reports were in from the previous year, Martin answered. A surplus of funds had been present each year in his term as governor, he said. When questioned about how he planned to fund highway construc tion in North Carolina, Martin said at alumni in favor of clients is acceptable but warned lawyers that too much can blemish a lawyer in the eyes of a judge. "Once judges begin to look askance at a brief because of misconception of the facts, then that brush may tar a lawyer for a long time," Martin said. All the judges, regardless of the actual number of cases argued orally in front of their bench, said they did not want to shorten or discontinue oral argument. They all stated their beliefs in the value of oral argument and said it is a major part of their operations in deciding the outcome of cases. The judges also said although they work very hard, they definitely are not overcrowded with cases. .m. MEMORIAL HALL, UNC. CHAPEL HILL LIVE ON STAGE! "A Super Hilarious Musical!

Both candidates expressed concern about the pollution of North Caro lina's coastal waters. Martin pro posed that environmentalists and developers in the coastal regions work together to combat the problem. Jordan advocated reducing the number of permits allotted for development in the area. In his closing remarks, Jordan emphasized the need to improve the quality of care for the elderly, provide better day care and education for children, and decrease the number of high school dropouts. "I'm running for governor because I believe we can do better," Jordan said. Martin, in his final comments, expressed a desire to award better pay to better teachers, build an economy with a strong job market, complete the construction of highways in the state, eliminate the presence of drug dealers in schools and reduce the dropout rate. weekend A reception in the law library followed the discussion. Most people said they thought the panel was effective. "I think it was well-received," Link said. "Our alums practicing law tell me they learned some new things from it, and I hope it was it was useful for students. I think the judges gave a lot of good advice which should stand our students in good stead." Ervin agreed. "There is a great deal more mystery about what goes ort, particularly behind the scenes, in appellate courts than should be the case," he said. "I think the chief virtues of something like this are to give lawyers and other people a chance to find out exactly what we do." 9, 2988 0 n Hwy 70 West Pleasant Valley Promenade Raleigh 782-9600 2302 Hillsborough St. , Chapel Hill 967-5248 Raleigh 832-6118 j VI
