While the superpower leaders are talking about arms control, a couple of New Jersey entrepreneurs arc dealing with the Soviet Union to advance the cause of world pizza.

"I think it's better we have peace instead of war, and as for pizza, I can't find one person who says they don't like it," Piancone said Monday about the business venture he launched with Shelley Zeigcr, a Trenton businessman born in the Ukraine. Piancone and Zeiger say their Astro Pizza Ltd. will begin peddling Italian dishes to Muscovites from an oven-equipped van. The businessmen plan to open 25 restaurants in Moscow. Trade clash forces wait for fertilizer CLEMSON ? Many South Carolina farmers arc waiting to buy fertilizer for the upcoming growing season until a trade dispute between the United States and Canada is resolved. But farmers who've already bought their fertilizer paid about 25 percent more on the average than they did last year. "We're giving them heart attacks every day they walk in the door," said Jimmy Lowdcr, a Sumter Courty fertilizer distributor who docs business in the rich cotton, corn and soybean area near Oswego. Lowdcr said his costs are 38 percent ahead of this past year. Fertilizer prices have risen to an average of $190 a ton, up from $150 in the spring, as a result of the dispute, which the International Trade Commission is expected to resolve early next year. Mungo to give toys, food to needy Michael Mungo, a successful real estate developer who had an impoverished childhood, has established a foundation that would ensure every child in metropolitan Columbia a present for Christmas, among other services. Last year the 59-year-old USC trustee donated toys and food for 1,200 needy children. A bigger project than the Christmas gift distribution is one he started this past summer, the Mungo Foundation. Mungo said he is coming out of retirement to use his talent as a developer and give the money to charity. Investigation of crash to continue BEAUFORT ? The investigation into the crash of a light plane which claimed the lives of two New Jersey residents in Beaufort will take about six months to complete, authorities say. The twin-engine Beech King Air BE-90 was en route from Savannah, Ga., to Philadelphia when it went down in the waters of Battery Creek about 9:45 a.m. Monday. Beaufort County Coroner Kurt Copeland identified the victims as the pilot, Joseph Leon, about 67, of Riverside, N.J.; and a passenger, Joan Pearson, about 55, of Beverly, N.J. The Federal Aviation Administration said Leon was the owner of the plane. ?** MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ^CAROLINA STUDENTS & FACULTY"!

The media takeovers arc also another interesting event, taking place late February or early March.

This fine piece of journalism you are holding in your hands is the last you'll be reading this semester. Yes, we, the staff, have exams and stuff to take care of, and we'll be taking a little break. Publication will resume next semester, Jan. 11, and The Gamecock will keep you apprised of the happenings at the Gator Bowl and other fun stuff. So that leaves The Gamecock staff only two things to say: "Happy holidays." | ?ut as Arnold SchwarzencRgcr would say, "We'll be back." ) For the Record . A story in Monday's issue of The Gamecock, headlined "Columbia high on list of cities attracting industry," contained an error. The first paragraph, which read, "Columbia remains high on the list in attracting new industries and is boosted by local government support and USC, according to the marketing director of the Economic Development staff," should have read "USC is the Columbia area's biggest assest in attracting new industry, the marketing director of the Economic Development staff said."

"1 think there were several things that concerned me a little bit. The fact that 72 percent of the students surveyed said they would change rooms if their roommates had the disease suggests to me that many still do not know how the disease is transmitted," Bell said. Bell said the percentage of students who said they have not changed their sexual behavior is also alarming. "The 43 percent number is an alarming number. It shows that the college population still believes they are invulnerable or invincible to the disease," Bell said. "That is a dangerous view to hold.
