GOP leaders to vie

After their party's loss in the
. governor's race and an upset win in the
f , U.S. Senate, Republican leaders in North
j.Carolina are debating who should be
r.the next party chairman.
Both current OOP chairman Jack
Hawke and N.C. Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner
; are considered front-runners for the of
fice. Jack Hawke, GOP chairman since
y 1987, has been credited by some state
..Republicans for uniting the different
ideological factions of the party.
; Eddie Woodhouse, director of com
munications for the N.C. Republican
.Party, said Hawke was an effective and
,;forward-thinking leader. Woodhouse
, said Hawke would run for re-election in
May at the state convention.
"Originally, when he was nominated
, . or hand-picked by Governor Martin, his
. mission was to bring together the right
,, and the center, which he has done suc
, cessfully.
"He's a coalition builder,"
. Woodhouse said. "He's raised money
that the party has never had before ...
i- We're as united now as we ever have
; been."
n Woodhouse said that despite the na-
tional trend against Republicans during
I the November election, Hawke's ef
; forts as chairman were successful.

Hawke was able to keep people to
gether," he said.
Another Republican leader believed
to be considering the position is N.C.
Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner. Gardner lost to
former N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt in the No
vember gubernatorial race.
Tina Wilson, Gardner's director of
communications, said the lieutenant
governor had not made a final decision
whether he would run.
Wilson denied reports that Gardner
believed Hawke had done an unsatis
factory job as GOP chairman. "I'm not
sure that the Lieutenant Governor does
think that," she said.
Although Gardner and Hawke have
been close friends while serving the
state's Republican Party, Hawke re
cently accused Gardner of spreading
reports that implied he improperly used
his office to send advertising business
to a longtime friend.
Hawke said that he had sent $1 45,870
of GOP advertising to Capitol Hill Ad
vertising, owned by Earl Cox, but that it
was not improper and had saved money
for the Republican Party. R.J. "Chip"
Hawke III, Jack Hawke's son, is presi
dent of the advertising agency.
Woodhouse said the issue was unim
portant, and Hawke was not concerned
by Gardner's allegations. Woodhouse
also said reports that Hawke had ac
cused Gardner of leaking the informa
tion were too strong.
"Accused is not the right word," he
said. "He' 11 let someone else argue those
have gotten to know Billy through all
the times they've played here over the
years," Heath said.
"They wanted to help out an old

for chair
things."
Woodhouse said the GOP election
would come down to the performance
of Hawke as state chairman. Woodhouse
added that Hawke not only helped Presi
dent George Bush and Vice President
Dan Quayle win North Carolina, but
helped other candidates win as well.
"He was a player when it came to the
election of Lauch Faircloth,"
Woodhouse said.
However, other N.C. Republicans
said they did not think that Hawke helped
Republican candidates win state offices.
Robert Shaw, N.C. Senate minority
leader, said since his race was local,
Hawke did not have much influence.
Shaw said he had no feelings about how
Hawke had performed as GOP chair
man. "I wasn't involved in a statewide
race," he said. "I don't know what type
of job he has done."
However, Woodhouse said he be
lieved Hawke's work had been impor
tant in local races. "He put major em
phasis in the election of as many house
members as possible," he said. "We
picked up some House seats . . . and held
our own in the Senate."
Woodhouse said he also believed
Hawke would prevail against any oppo
sition for the chairmanship seat. "I am
confident that Jack will be re-elected,"
he said. "He'll continue to out-register
the Democrats ... He is already at work
at recruiting new candidates for 1994
and 1996."

Joe Farmer, lead singer for Johnny
Quest, said, "Cat's Cradle has always
been real good to Johnny Quest, and
Billy has been working there for years.
"We like to play at local benefits like
this one, where we know the money will
go directly to Billy," Farmer added.
Tickets are $5 for the 8 p.m. Sunday

Nation gathers on World AIDS Day
to mourn dead, promote awareness

must enlist people and businesses to
defeat AIDS and reject bureaucratic
solutions such as President-elect
Clinton's plan for an AIDS czar, the
secretary of Health and Human Ser
vices said Tuesday.
Dr. Louis Sullivan marked World
AIDS Day by launching a program to
help companies keep employees in
fected with HTV, the virus that causes
AIDS, working as long as possible.
; Elsewhere, vandals painted an AIDS
message on the state Capitol in Den
ver, museums removed paintings to
remember stricken artists and flags
flew at half staff along Fifth Avenue in
New York City.
Thirty-five cable TV companies
planned to go off the air for a minute
Tuesday night to emphasize the loss
caused by AIDS deaths.
Sullivan said such efforts increased
AIDS awareness in ways a national
AIDS official could not

pan and the trade imbalance, people
tend to turn their anger and resentment
toward all Asians."
Kwok added that many law enforce
ment agencies didn't classify cases
against Asians as hate crimes. "Many
cases aren't even reported. Recent im
migrants may connect law enforcement
with the strong-armed government of
their homeland."
OCA is a national network that works
to build trust between law enforcement
and Asian Americans. "We' ve got to let
(law enforcement agencies) know what
a hate crime is," she said.
Coming to a university to speak is
important to Kwok because college stu
dents have a heightened interest in cur
rent issues, she said. "I want to let them
know there is a community on the na
tional level and that they can get in
volved. "It'sequallyimportantfor non-Asian
students to be cognizant that there is
racism. We want to deter people from
committing these crimes through edu
cation." The ASA planned these speeches in
the wake of the anger spawned by the
Rodney King verdict in Los Angeles.
"After the Rodney King verdict there
was a lot of violence against Koreans,"
said ASA Secretary Hubie Yang. "We

inhibit innovation and flexibility needed
to fight AIDS is a larger bureaucracy.
Clinton urged the world to work to-,
gether in fighting AIDS.
"For too long, America and the world
have faced this epidemic divided and
frightened," Clinton said from Little
; Rock, Ark. "Today we must all pledge
to work together on the research and
prevention programs that will make the
AIDS epidemic a part of our past"
Actress EsteUe Getty endorsed "Busi
ness Responds to AIDS" in a telecon
ference, urging Americans to help HTV
patients like her nephew. "If you love
somebody with AIDS you will feel
better about yourself," Getty said.
About 1 million Americans are in
fected with HTV. There are 242,146
U.S. AIDS patients.

been in the place of Rodney King, would
the outrage have come?"
Yang emphasized that this was a
problem that concerned the Asian
American community as well as non
Asians. "People tend to think the vio
lence is all black-white. A lot of dis
crimination in the Asian-American com
munity goes unnoticed, but it has hap
pened since our arrival in the 1800s.
"We've received equal opportunity
as far as hate crimes go. But that's a
topic we don't like to talk about."
Billy Fan, vice president of ASA,

Broun added that when the proposal
first had come before council, the homes
were planned to cost about $70,000.
But in the most recent proposal, de
velopers estimated the cost of each home
would be $90,000.
"(The council) had not had enough
time to consider the changes," Broun
said.
But Chilton said he hoped the project
had not fallen apart completely.

Robert Piche was found guilty of
second-degree murder and sentenced to
37 years in prison. His brother, Lloyd
Piche, was found guilty of a misde
meanor and served only six weeks.
But the U.S. Department of Justice
later prosecuted Lloyd Piche on viola
tion of civil rights, and he was given a
reduced sentence of four years in 1 99 1 .
The Justice Department appealed this
sentence and on Friday, the 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond,
Va. , ordered the case to be sent back for
stiffer sentencing.
"All of us know it is one thing to have
a stiff sentence, but attitudes are differ
ent," Chou said.
"This anti-Asian sentiment may not
be shared by citizens in Raleigh, but it is
still important that we be more involved
in our different cultures."

On Sunday, the special projects and

Kwanzaa Extravaganza. The extrava

"The extravaganza is a culmination

woman of the CUAB Human Relations
Committee.
"It's a celebration of African-American
culture, showing what we havedone
and what we need to do so that (African
Americans) can be proud of' what we

The extravaganza will feature food,
