Daily Tar HeelWednesday, October 25, 1989 World and Nation .Bakker receives 45-year sentence . ,From Associated Press reports CHARLOTTE Jim Bakker, the ". television evangelist who lost his PTL empire in a sex scandal, was sentenced to 45 years in prison and fined $500,000 Tuesday for defrauding his followers " for his own enrichment. "I'm deeply sorry for those I have hurt," Bakker, 49, said before he was '..sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert Potter. "I have sinned. But never in my .life did I intend to defraud." Bakker shook his head in disbelief while a federal prosecutor presented arguments, as did his daughter, Tammy Sue Chapman. Bakker's wife, Tammy Faye, did not attend the court session. Bakker had faced a maximum sen tence of 120 years, but the judge con solidated the 24 fraud and conspiracy counts to nine and sentenced Bakker to five years on each. Bakker could be eligible for parole in 10 years. His lawyers said they would appeal, and despite defense pleas, Bakker was immediately taken into custody and driven to the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution at Talladega, Ala., about 60 miles east of Birming ham. In handing down the sentence, Pot: ter said, "I'm concerned about the hundreds of letters I have here from people who say they'd do anything for him, and that could include preventing Mr. Bakker from going to prison. I believe them." Because of that, Potter said, "I think we're going to have to put him into custody." At that point, Bakker's Search daughter broke into sobs. Bakker was put in a holding cell, then taken away in a government sedan to Talladega. A prison official said Bakker would probably be transferred to another prison in one or two weeks. Bakker's attorney, Harold Bender, said his client was "concerned about the lengthy sentence, but he has strong faith, and will come through." Bender said he had filed notice of appeal with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., and would ask the court to free Bakker on bond. from page 1 chancellor candidates NCSU's past commitment to women's affairs, in cluding existing programs dealing with sexual assault, sexual harassment and affirmative action, Risman said. However, NCSU is still behind UNC and other schools in day care, mater nity leave policies and women's stud ies, she said. "In many ways N.C. State does not have the infrastructure sup port for women that most universities of our caliber have." A candidate's commitment to the role and status of the university's edu cation program is also a criteria the committee should consider, said Joan Michael, dean of NCSU's College of Education and Psychology. "The train-' ing of teachers, I happen to believe, is one of the most important things that a campus of this nature can do." The new chancellor should be sensi tive to the special needs of the athletics program and minority groups, Albert Jabs, a Shaw University professor, said at the meeting. However he added, "This person, man or woman, should not be beholden to any interests. "Athletics have a place but they are never to dominate the vision of a university." The need for a chancellor tough on athletics makes NCSU's chancellor search similar to the UNC chancellor II PI PI 5. l -bv- WsMO VJcl Isn't That on all new sets! with Student ID You Bet That's Special?

During the UNC chancellor search, UNC received bad press from the con troversy surrounding former football coach Dick Crum's resignation, Beyle said. That scenario parallels NCSU's present flood of publicity concerning NCSU basketball coach and former athletic director Jim Valvano and al leged NCAA violations, he said. The NCSU controversy may cause problems with attracting candidates from outside the university because it overshadows the school's good aspects, Beyle said. Any difficulty in finding outside candidates could get worse depending on what the NCAA does about the alleged violations, he added. Another similarity between the NCSU and UNC chancellor searches is the use of a consulting firm in the search process. William Burns, chair man of the NCSU chancellor search committee, announced at the Friday meeting that the committee would hire the consulting firm of Korn-Ferry Inter national, the same firm used in the UNC chancellor search. A contract with the firm has not been signed but is being negotiated, Burns said. Korn-Ferry will be paid one-third of the chancellor's salary plus expenses for its services, he said. Unlike the UNC chancellor search, the NCSU committee will not hire an outside firm to do a management audit of the whole university, Burns said. A management audit gives the search committee an idea of what type of chancellor a university needs and what problems the new chancellor will face, Beyle said. UNC did not receive the management audit very well because many people thought it stressed the negative aspects of the University, he said. Israelis say allies of PLO to blame for Arab murders From Associated Press reports NABLUS, Occupied West Bank Palestinian Liberation Organization-allied (PLO) gangs with fanci ful names like "Black Panther Bri gades" and "Red Eagles" are blamed for most of the 20 murders of Arabs accused of collaborating with Israel. Israeli officials claim some gangs operate under direct order of the PLO. But Palestinians maintain that at least some of the murders have been car ried out in defiance of PLO Chair man Yasser Arafat. With 132 Palestinians killed for alleged collaboration in the 22-month-old Palestinian uprising, there are fears that the executions are get ting out of hand. Palestinians com plain that ordinary citizens are being intimidated by the frequent murders. In Nablus last week, the Red Eagles killed a 24-year-old upholstery worker and wheeled his body through the streets of the West Bank's largest city in a pushcart, presumably as a warning to others. Soviet confession called surprise WASHINGTON The Bush administration applauded Tuesday what it termed "extraordinary" ad missions by the Soviet foreign minis ter that the invasion of Afghanistan was illegal and that a massive radar installation in Siberia violated the anti-ballistic missile treaty. But it said the Soviet Union should go further by withdrawing its support News in Brief for the Kabul government of Afghan President Najibullah, and it shrugged off a renewed Soviet proposal to disband both the Warsaw Pact and NATO by the turn of the century. U.S. officials, accustomed now to bold policy shifts under Soviet Presi dent Mikhail Gorbachev, still seemed amazed by the bluntness of Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze's confession of past mistakes, in a speech to the Supreme Soviet on Monday. "They're extraordinary," said White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater. He called Shevardnadze's candor "a step in the right direction" for arms control. Cut in farm aid suggested WASHINGTON The United States is proceeding with proposals to liberalize world agricultural trade, including a five-year phasing out of export subsidies, the Bush admini stration said Tuesday. Eventually, perhaps within a dec ade, the plan also calls for the elimi nation of domestic programs that distort international trade in farm commodities. But Agriculture Secretary Clay ton Yeutter said the detailed plan would not get rid of all government farm aid. At Planned Parenthood, You're a Person. Not Just A Patient.
