The program will benefit graduate students in the M.B.A. program interested in sports industry and those in sport and leisure services." Several speakers from various agen cies will share knowledge about their fields. LeRoy Walker, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, tentatively is scheduled to speak at the evening awards Baseball ceremony, which begins at 7:15 p.m. Hyatt said the conference would pro vide a chance to recognize the contribu tions that sports-related industries had made to the state. "To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that representatives from state government, public and private colleges and universities and the sport ing goods industry have gotten together in a state to look at the contributions of the sports industry," he said. "Sara Lee Corporation employs over 30,000 people with its Champion and Hanes T-shirt sportswear. We would like to keep those people within the state of North Carolina and recognize their economic contributions." Members of different colleges will work with state resource representa tives to promote the sports industry within the state, Hyatt said. from page 1 CoUft "The conference offers North Caro lina a unique opportunity of assuming a leadership role in locating the size of its sports industry and promoting it both within and outside the state," Hyatt said. The cost of the event is $15 for students and $125 for non-students. Lunch, an awards ceremony and a com memorative conference notebook con taining an N.C. sports industry direc tory are included in the conference. from page 1 people." Long encourages nonblacks to pur chase his company's products. "The products are not just for black people," he said. "I hope white people will look at this merchandise and try to learn about (its historical significance)." Thorpe Baggett and Long said blacks now are better displaying their pride in the notable accomplishments of African Americans. "Definitely we're seeing a rise in Afrocentrism," Long said. "I hope it's not a fad or a fashion. I hope it will be a cultural revolution." from page 1 health-care costs," he said. The stint with Clinton isn't Thorpe's first foray into a national campaign. Thorpe said he gained a great deal of experience studying health reform is sues by working with Michael Dukakis during Dukakis' unsuccessful 1988 presidential campaign. "It was absolutely fabulous," Thorpe said. "The guy is bright. He's very, very interested in the issues. "He appointed me to some commis sions in Massachusetts, and I would just meet with him informally when he was governor to talk about health reform issues and during the campaign." Dukakis and Thorpe will be appear ing together on campus today to give a joint presentation on challenges facing Clinton as he tackles health-care re form. The presentation will be held at 4 p.m. in the first-floor auditorium of Rosenau Hall. Jane Pitcher, research assistant to Thorpe, said she was very enthusiastic about Thorpe's appointment to the tran sition team. "I think we are really fortunate to have an expert in that area here in Chapel Hill and in ouruniversity," Pitcher said. "He's absolutely incredible and such an important resource for our University." mm J CL0SS NOTES rJftfiif 23 Semester Packets pun cz) Exam Packets VvW m Daily Notes Nag: 1 Phone 933-8222 How does it work?

Manning said he lost his judicial bid because voters outside of his district were not familiar with him or his ac complishments, but Farmer said it was the responsibility of every candidate to make himself known to the voters. "I run where (the legislature) tells me to run it doesn't really matter to me," He said. "You have to gear your cam paign to the area you're running in. We had a campaign strategy that paid off." Although Manning and Farmer dis agreed about the scope of the electorate, both adamantly said party labels should be removed from the election of judges. "It ought to be nonpartisan," Man ning said. "Judges have no business with political labels. You're supposed to be fair and impartial." Farmer agreed and suggested that a new system be developed in which judges would be selected based on merit. "I support the merit system and have for 20 years or more," Farmer said. "I don't like politics in the judicial system. It shouldn't matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat." Jack Cozort, a judge on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said he also supported a merit-based system for the selection of judges, but for different reasons. "I think a better system would be some sort of merit system with reten tion over partisan election of judges . . . (because) it's very difficult to cam paign as a judge," Cozort said. Cozort said that judicial candidates had difficulty raising money to cam paign and that they were not allowed to comment on specific issues. Although he said he did not think the statewide system was detrimental to the Republican Party, Cozort said the cur rent plan was not the best way to select judges. "I would prefer some other sys tem ... because I think in the long run, we'll get better judges," Cozort said. Neither Cozort nor Farmer was will ing to comment on the constitutionality of the current system, but Farmer said he did not think the issue would be resolved soon. "It's a situation that's been around for years and years," Farmer said. "And it probably will be for many years."
