2The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, November 8, 1988 World and Nation Dykakos From Associated Press reports George Bush and Michael Dukakis sprinted for the finish line Monday in their marathon quest for the White House, the vice president confidently saying the nation was "coming in behind my candidacy" while his underdog rival vowed he'd spring a stunning "November surprise." Both men raced across America in a final-day search for support while their campaigns spent nearly $1 million apiece on competing 30 minute evening appeals on network television. Bush, the leader in the polls, also aired a new five-minute commercial that sharply attacked his Democratic rival. "It's in the hands of the gods and the American people," the vice president said before heading for Houston and the final rally of candidacy. Byh make fioal appeals Dukakis was campaigning into overtime in a desperation drive for an upset. He told a crowd of 20,000 in California that Democrats would kick Bush "right out of our future." Democrats expressed confidence they would command majorities in the 101st Congress that will govern alongside the new president. They also angled for modest gains in the dozen statehouse races on Tuesday's ballot. The final day of America's longest, costliest and some said nastiest presidential campaign left little room for subtlety. Democratic vice presidential can didate Lloyd Bentsen appeared on stage in Texas with a caged quail an obvious dig at his Republican rival, Dan Quayle. Bush threw a stinging jab at Dukakis, saying, "We don't want to return to my opponent's favorite song: 'For 'all you do, this recession is for you.' " The Democratic nominee cam paigned without letup on his pledge to stand up for "average working families." Grabbing rest when he could on his plane, he flew to a sunrise political service in Cleveland, then a rally in St. Louis. Still to come was more campaigning on the West Coast and then another middle-of-the-night flight to an Iowa rally and election morning appearances in Michigan. "I don't need sleep; I'm charging," he said in Ohio. "We're going to win," he added, predicting a "November surprise" that would land him in the White House. The polls said otherwise, and few Investigation outside the Dukakis inner circle raised their voice to disagree. Pollster Lou Harris was one. He said Bush's margin was shrinking steadily. Bush sounded buoyant as he flew from snow-dusted Michigan to Ohio, Missouri and finally toward a cam paign curtain-closer in Houston. "That adrenalin is flowing. Our family's together. The country's coming in behind our candidacy. And I want to win this election," Bush told a rousing rally in Ohio. He said, "What it all boils down to is that my opponent and I have a fundamentally different view of the future of America. This is no time for the United States to turn dra matically left." from page 1 nnpeGBiMiDniigj IiicibIIMeis! membership now through May 1 , '89 or 6 weelcsfor Featuring: Nautilus machines, Olympic weight room, aerobics classes, Wolff Tanning Bed, Lifecycles, sauna, whirlpool Open 7 Days a Week FITNESS CENTER.

One key factor in deciding to take further action would be whether the student would continue to be a threat to the University community, Foun tain said. Segal said he and Duehring would speak at a CFD press conference Wednesday in the Pit between 1 1 a.m. and noon. "We want the University to con demn the action and call the FBI," Segal said. "These are civil rights violations. This is serious stuff. If the University doesn't come out against it, it will go on." Segal said he thought the Univer- Enrollment sity would respond. "If it doesn't, there's something wrong with the University," he said. "It's the Univer sity's responsibility to protect its students. It's only prudent." He said he was certain the same people made both threats. "I think they're UNC students," he said. "I think they're organized. They're too good. They knew when I'd be home and when I wouldn't be home." Segal said he had taken precau tions but he is not afraid of further threats occurring. "As a tactic, it's stupid," he said. "All it's doing is getting more people involved in campus politics." from page 1 the BCC's purpose is "not to separate but to educate." Blanks said she likes the emphasis in UNITAS, the program which joins students from diverse cultural back grounds in Carmichael Residence Hall, on differences between cultures, rather than just between blacks and whites. Get out and vote TODAY!!! Convicted killer executed in Florida's electric chair From Associated Press reports STARKE, Fla. A man cbn victed of killing four women died in Florida's electric chair Monday minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal. Jeffrey Joseph Daugherty was the 19th person executed in the oaken chair at Florida State Prison and the 103rd put to death in the nation since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Only one state, Texas, has had more executions than Florida. A few protesters, both opposing and supporting capital punish ment, stood watch outside the prison as Daugherty died just after 5 p.m. Protesters arrested at Capitol WASHINGTON Police arrested 377 people, including prominent pediatrician and social activist Benjamin Spock, on Mon day in the culmination of a long series of protests on Capitol Hill to focus attention on the plight of the homeless in America. "We're here to show the poli ticians that there is a crisis in America, a crisis that they are not responding to, a crisis that we want answers for," said Mitch Snyder, a Washington advocate for the homeless and organizer of the protests. Snyder led a march and 90 minute rally across Constitution Avenue from the Capitol building, capping the event with his exhor tation to the crowd to sit down in "the middle of the street and be arrested as a way of showing concern for the homeless. Hijacking suspect identified WASHINGTON Lebanese hijacking suspect Fawaz Younis News in Brief was identified in court Monday by an American college student as the leader of "a horde of men" who seized a Jordanian jetliner at the Beirut airport in 1985. "I recognize him as the leader of the hijackers," William Slade testified, pointing his finger at the bearded, black-haired defendant seated in the courtroom. "How sure are you about that?" asked Justice Department prosec utor Karen Morrissette. "Positive," replied Slade, the first victim of the hijacking to publicly identify Younis as leader of the group of five men who stormed the Royal Jordanian airliner with AK-47 assault rifles on June 11, 1985. The plane was blown up at Beirut airport shortly after the 72 passengers and crew members were allowed to leave it. City begins anti-AIDS program NEW YORK New York City on Monday began a pilot program to stem the spread of AIDS by providing drug addicts with new hypodermic needles in exchange for their used ones. Although the program aimed at reducing needle sharing among addicts is intended to serve as many as 200 intravenous drug abusers, by early afternoon no applicant had appeared at Health Department headquarters in lower Manhattan. "Today, we're going to have only a handful," said the health commissioner, Dr. Stephen Joseph. "We're going to build slowly up" over a period of weeks or months, he predicted.
