Bakkers give up on Tega Cay home
FOR I MILL ? Jim and Tammy Bakkcr, who once vowed to fight for
the $1.5 million house at Tega Cay used as a parsonage, have turned over
the keys to the court-appointed administrators running PTL.
The new administration plans an auction Nov. 13 and 14 to sell remaining
furniture from the house, knickknacks from the Bakkers* executive offices
and a warehouse full of other items that administrators say PTL
doesn't need and can't afford to keep. The house also is being sold.
The items to be auctioned include three baby grand pianos.
Also to be sold are vehicles not in use, including 11 trucks and pickups,
five station wagons, four l ord and Chevrolet four-door sedans, a jeep, a
van, a Cadillac and a Pace Arrow motor home.
"There are just a number of assets that really aren't necessary for ongoing
operations," says Barbara Barton, a law partner of William Robinson
of Columbia, the court-appointed temporary trustee.
Reagan issues ban on imports to Iran
WASHINGTON ? President Reagan is tightening the economic screws
on Iran, ordering a ban on all American imports a week after the U.S.
Navy retaliated for a missile attack against a U.S.-flagged tanker.
"The measures I am initiating are a direct result of the Iranian govern

U.S. merchant vessels," Reagan said.
The president on Monday directed the State and Treasury departments
to institute an outright ban on imports and a partial ban 011 exports, applying
essentially to products with possible military applications.
The measures were announced a week after Reagan ordered U.S. Navy
destroyers to bombard an oil platform used by Iran for military purposes,
in reprisal for a Silkworm missile attack on a U.S. flagged Kuwaiti oil
vessel.
Titan launch returns U.S. to space
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. ? The first successful
launch of a Titan 34D, reportedly carrying a spy satellite, after two failures
in two years is of "tremendous significance" to America's return to space,
ciivc thf* c^rrntarv nf thf? Air Fnrrr*
The nation's most powerful unmanned rocket, bearing what the Air
Forcc would describe only as a classified payload, lifted off at 1:32 p.m.
Monday.
If the payload were a spy satellite, the launch would make a major contribution
to the American capability for monitoring Soviet compliance
with arms treaties, civilian experts said.
A successful launch would mean "we're out of the woods in terms of the
threat of being blinded in space," John Pike, a space policy expert for the
federation 01 American scientists in wasningion, saiti oeiore niioii.
Summit still possible, Reagan says
WASHINGTON ? President Reagan says he is not ruling out the
possibility of a superpower summit and does not regard Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev's refusal to set a date as a serious diplomatic setback.
While playing down the impact of Gorbachev's move, Reagan hinted
Monday at some flexibility on his Strategic Defense Initiative, which the
Soviets say should be curtailed.
"There may be some maneuvering on deployment and so forth, but not
to the extent of making that a bargaining chip in which we would give up
SDI in return for something they might give up on their side. We can't do
that," Reagan said in an interview with European television
correspondents.
In an unexpected development, Gorbachev said this past week he is not
prepared to come to Washington for a summit because of Reagan's insistence
on moving ahead with SDI.
Reagan played down the rebuff on a summit and highlighted U.S.-Soviet
progress toward a treaty banning intermediate-range nuclear missiles.

in addition to textbook prices,
the resale of the books is too low.
"The book prices are definitely
high," education sophomore Beth
Riner said. "But getting only a little
bit of money back for your books is
just as bad," she said.
International studies junior Gail
James is also disturbed at high tex
tbook prices. "They're definitely not
fair," she said. "And you only get a
little back for what you paid for
them. They shouldn't pay back less
than half the value of the book," she
said.
But Wertz said he believes the
bookstore saves students money and
tries to keep prices reasonable by
keeping a large inventory of used
books that are sold at a reduced
price.

S.C. Bookstore manager Dennis
Beard said his store's book prices arc
slightly lower only because it stocks
more used books. Both Beard and
USC Bookstore assistant director Bill
Rorie said they get only 20 percent
discounts on books. They both
estimated their profits only amount
to about six of that 20 percent.
Both men said they believe the
money students pay for books is fair,

is printed free by the State-Record
Co. and is sold for more than $7. The
bookstores receive a 20 percent dis
count, and the remainder of the
money is put back into the journalism
school, McNeely said.
The only reported cost involved
with the booklet is the 80 cents the
journalism school pays for the cover,
she said.
Rorie denied the booklet is
published free, saying, "In this
business, nothing is done for free."
But McNeely, who receives no money
for the booklet, said he probably
wouldn't know anyway.
