Art exhibit features gloves
NEW YORK (AP) ? Artist Nierle Laderman Ukeles's
latest project isn't garbage - but it's been close to it.
Ukeles is artist-in-residence for the city Sanitation Department,
and she's gathering gloves used by sanitation workers,
to be assembled in some type of art form for a "Touch Sanitation
Show." She plans to hold the show in Mav at the Marine
Transfer Station - where the city's garbage is loaded onto
barges.
"The gloves serve a vital purpose in protecting the men,"
said Ukeles on Tuesday. Garbage collectors are being asked to
drop their gloves into 70 bright orange litter baskets in sanitation
garages around the city.
Two years ago, the artist shook hands with every sanitation
worker in the city, and the show will feature photos and
videotapes of the handshakes, with recordings of garbage
trucks in the background, she said.
"We're always searching for visible symbols of the scale of
the endless work done by sanitation workers," Ukeles said.
Among her other projects: trying to raise money for a
350-foot light show that would feature neon an blinking truck
lights assembled on a garbage bargS.
Woman throws man overboard
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) ? When a woman boater invited
a male acquaintance aboard her boat for a starlight dinner,
the man apparently had something else in mind ? so she
tossed him into the Elizabeth River after he disrobed.
Nearly three hours later, a female police officer found the
man walking along a main street, wearing only a plastic bag
and searching for a telephone booth.
The woman had called out to the man after giving him the
heave-ho Monday night, but there was no response,
authorities said. She then notified police, who called the Coast
Guard.
A Coast Guard search turned up nothing, and the man apparently
swam tn shnrev <jaiH r?r>lirp who tr> IHon?ifv

The woman did not press charges, and police took the man
home

"She was in bed sleeping with her husband and child, and
she felt something wet on her bed," McLaughlin said. "She
found she was also in bed with Arthur Young.
"Everyone ran out the back door, and he was apprehended
in the back yard."
Young initially was charged with trespassing, McLaughlin
said.
"The sexual assault statute doesn't say anything about leg
1'cking, so then we charged him with batterv." he said.

Riley reveals re
(AP) ? Gov. Dick Riley gained ammunition
in his battle to improve
public education Wednesday with a
survey showing South Carolinians are
embarrassed by the low national ranking
of state public schools.
The public is aware of the link between
better education and better jobs
and would pay to improve public
schools, said the governor. He added
that the survey conducted by
Metromark Market Research Inc. of
Columbia reinforced his own perceptions
of public feeling.
"It shows that the improvement of
our schools is a real and urgent need
felt by the public," Riley told a
Wednesday morning news conference.
"And they indicated that they will be
willing to make the required investment
if they can see tough new standards
and if they can see meaningful
results.
THE SURVEY also said the major
concern of the people interviewed was
the quality of teaching in the state.
Respondents commented that teachers
aren't paid enough and that many
aren't qualified enough and committed
to education.
The survey also showed that more
than 70 percent of the respondents are

e Humanities Building Wednesday. Morse got a (
suits of survey
in favor of merit pay or other incentives
to encourage quality teaching.
The governor and state Superintendent
of Education Charlie Williams
commissioned the poll, but the $13,000
cost was paid for out of private funds
raised by the newly formed Foundation
of Educational and Economic Excellence.
The foundation is chaired by
Samuel Tenenbaum. a close Rilev
associate.
Riley declined to comment on
whether he would propose a sales tax
hike to fund massive improvements in
the state's public education, which
ranks low in several crucial categories.
The state is the lowest in the nation in
Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and
near the bottom in teacher salaries and
per-pupil expenditures.
RILEY SAID he has briefed
members of the General Assembly on
the poll findings and hopes it will give
them a clearer picture of the public's
concerns about education.
Several committees are working to
set priorities for improving schools,
and Riley said he wants to hear recommendations
from them before deciding
on an approach for this legislative
year.

The poll interviewed 496 adults, of
whom 83 percent agreed with the statement,
"The fact that South Carolina
always ranks so low in the quality of
education is an embarrassment and
something ought to be done about it
right now."
About 75 percent of the respondents
agreed strongly that the state would
benefit from having better educated
students. And 64 percent of the
respondents agreed strongly that the
state must be willing to spend more
money in order to get better education.
TO WHETHER it is more important
to spend money more wisely or
only provide additional funds, 61 percent
answered using available money
wisely.
Only 33 percent of those responding
to the survey agreed strongly with hiking
state sales taxes a penny on the
dollar to fund education improvements.
Another 29 percent
"moderately agreed" with that
solution.
But 75 percent of those polled said
they'd be more likely to vote for a state
legislator who supported such a sales
tax increase.
The poll was conducted between July
21 and July.
