A federal judge has given the makers of the film The Abyss a reprieve in their efforts to fight eviction from Earl Owensby's studio in Cherokee County. U.S. District Couft Judge G.

Anderson said he would rule withip 10 days on the company's request for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction pending a trial and a permanent injunction against the eviction. Owensby was trying to evict GJP from his property because of the company's refusal to pay a disputed $300,000 and for damage he claims the company has done to his property. mWilii "fa 1f , ^ - , , ?J Nicaraguans say U.S. ordered rebels to infiltrate MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) ? President Daniel Ortega has accused the United States of ordering thousands of rebels to re-enter Nicaragua and sabotage reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Joan. "Taking advantage of the damage, the trauma, the Yankees have already ordered the infiltration of 3,000 mercenaries into Nicaraguan territory," Ortega said Friday in a nationwide radio ailU iticviaiuix auuiwaj. In Washington, State Department press officer Anita Stockman denied the allegations. "No U.S. military aid is being provided to the Contras at this time," she said, referring to the rebels.

English professor just loves jazz By RUSS MASSENGALE Staff writer USC English professor Benjamin Franklin's collection ol nearly 8,uuu jazz aioums attests to his love ot the music. Franklin has an interest in and knowledge of jazz that spans three decades, beginning in 1955 with a Jerry Mulligan 78 rpm record that he received as a gift. In the early years, when he first began collecting, Franklin managed to add to his collection despite a lack of money. "Luckily, I was in a university town ? Columbus, Ohio ? where Ohio State University is located," Franklin said. "Even then, in the '50s, there were discount record shops that specialized in pre-release or cut-out records. I became familiar with these shops, and therefore I was able to get new releases for two dollars or less." He said he also knew where to go to get "bootleg" copies. This early group of recordings includes some albums that have become collector's items over time. These albums include those by Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrain. Others are rare because they were released in limited quantities. "An American author named Jack Kerouac read some of his poetry on the Hanover record label, backed by tenor saxophonist A1 Cohn and Zook Simms, which is See FRANKLIN/?tfge 2 BjMmf > Jn^^H^HBHy mm - m^ ' WL. ipF^jpS^^^^BP ,4lSNrs^ BRIAN SAULS/The Gamecock luring the North Carolina State game Saturday. at Model U.N. "They will be dealing with disarmament, hunger, poverty and development from the perspective of people who see the problems in a different way than we do," Coate said. Countries are assigned by the conference committee based on the delegations' previous performances, according to Lefeber. This year USC has requested Ireland, Hungary, Jordan or the Netherlands. Last year, it represented Equatorial Guinea. After the country is assigned, delegates research their country and prepare a one-page position paper with short statements on agenda items in the way the country would view them, Lefeber said. Then they immerse themselves in the country, becoming knowledgable enough to represent it at the conference.

The mock election is being sponcrtrprl K\r tVtO Prvllarto DatMiUKanmc \jj uiv v-v/iivgv lwpuuiiwaiid ai USC and other College Republicans on campuses across the nation. Other South Carolina participants include Clemson, the College of Charleston, Furman and Columbia College. E. J. Cousar, College Republicans state president, selected the five from the 20 colleges in the state because their locations cover South Carolina geographically and their student bodies cover a wide diversity of the student population. The five schools are also a sample of the nation's college population. The list is still subject to change, undergoing some revision already. For instance, The Citadel was originally tapped to represent the military vote but was replaced by the College of Charleston, after it was learned that The Citadel had already held a mock election. Also, Columbia College, which was chosen for its all-female population to represent the women's vote, will probably be replaced by Winthrop College because of the latter's larger student population. Booths for the mock election will be located in the fraternity quad, the business school and South Tower and will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students do not have to be registered to vote in order to participate, but students wanting to vote will have to present their ID cards and sign in before voting to enUSC dev< to rape av By KELLEY MCDONALD Staff writer In response to the campus safety problem, a Rape Awareness Day, which included sessions on rape, violence against women, risk reduction and self-defense, was held Thursday at the Russell House. The free event was sponsored by the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety, Women's Student Services and Student Government. Health educator Lisa Zucker began the program with a session on date rape. It occurs when the victim knows her attacker and is forced to have sexual intercourse against her will, she said. "Date rape is a bigger problem than anyone would believe because it goes unreported," she said. But recent studies on college campuses reveal that as many as one in three women have been a victim of date rape. ^ 9 ? i 4' :halk lines are drawn around them during a uth plan ide poll sure that no student votes more than once. To ensure impartiality, the College Republicans will have two other campus organizations as co-sponsors. The co-sponsors, which will include one fraternity and one sorority, will work the voting booths and count the ballots afterward. No one with the College Republicans will have any access whatsoever to the ballots during or immediately following the election. Alpha Tau Omega is the only cosponsor chosen so far. The College Republicans will not work in conjunction with the Young Democrats, Cousar said. "We feel both parties will be fairly represented by the sponsors since both republicans and democrats belong to sororities and fraternities," Cousar said. The mock election is an opportunity to mold the college vote, Cousar said, giving the Republican candidate, Vice President George Bush, a stronger lead. "I think college students will be interested to see what other students their age will be voting, and I think it might sway the undecideds toward Bush," Cousar said. He said he was confident the Republican turnout would be good. "Republicans vote more than democrats; so even though voting turnout may be low, Republican turnout will be high." Reflecting the party's optimism since the last presidential debate, Cousar said the mock election wasn't really a question of whether Bush would win, but by how much. 3tes day vareness "Date rape tends to be more of a gray area, z,ucKer said, "women sometimes don't realize they were raped until years later." Victims have a harder time getting help and. find difficulty in prosecuting their attackers, Zucker said. These victims also face a different kind of trauma, because the rape occurred with someone they knew and chose to associate with. "Women are distrustful "of their own values after date rape," she said. "Seventy-five percent of cases seem to take place in situations of date rape," said Zucker. A major cause seems to be communication problems. Men and women in social situations often misinterpret signals and make assumptions on what to expect from their partner.
