Either good luck last year or bad luck last year. Bob Balas, NR grad.: Lack of hitting in the clutch; blowing big leads and falling behind early.

Gloria was threatening the Carolinas, and a hurricane watch was posted from South Carolina to Virginia, including North Carolina's vulnerable barrier islands, where camples began evacuating. Although the storm, which ahd packed 1501' mph winds, weakened last night, emergency plans were drafted and residents were warned to keep track of Gloria in other coastal areas. Before weakening, the 300-mile-wide hurricane had been ranked as a "borderline" Category 5 storm, capable of catastrophic damage. The last time a storm anywhere near the strength of Gloria hit the East Coast, it killed 600 people in New England in 1938. "If it goes into the Carolinas, this could be a very terrible storm," said Neil Frank, director of the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, Fla. Even if Gloria's winds weaken further before landfall, which could come by Friday at a site yet uncertain, it might attain such a fast forward speed that it could be just as dangerous because there would be less time to evacuate, Frank said. Nine KKK members indicted CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A federal grand jury indicted nine Ku Klux Klan members yesterday on charges of intimidating black and white couples by shooting into homes and burning crosses in yards. FBI agents quickly arrested four of the suspects listed in the 20-count indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Asheville. Those arrested included Jerry Suits, Titan or leader of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Iredell Country, and his wife, Mary Suits, Queen Kleagle or leader of the women's unit of the county Klan. The conspiracy count charged the defendants with plotting "to threaten and intimidate several black and white residents of the two counties because of their interracial cohabitation or fraternization." Assistant Attorney General William Reynolds, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said in Washington that more than 150 people, including at least 84 klan members, have been prosecuted for such violence since 1979. 14 injured in Rome blast ROME - A powerful bomb hidden in a sports bag exploded at a British Airways office yesterday and injured 14 people, four of them seriously, police said. Authorities said a 16-year-old Palestinian caught fleeing the scene confessed to the bombing. Domenico Sica, a leading anti-terrorist judge, said the suspect had identified himself as Hasan Aatab, born in Beirut's Shatila refugee camp. Sica said Aatab confessed he had thrown the bomb, and that he was aided by a second man. Witnesses had told police a young man had thrown the explosive-laden bag through the door of the British Airways. Sica said Aatab had told authorities he belonged to the Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Moslems, the group that claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack 10 days ago in the same fashionable Via Veneto area, center of Rome's night life in the 1950s. French leader blames former officials for Greenpeace snking PARIS - Prime Minister Laurent Fabius yesterday denied he knew in advance of the secret service's plan to sink the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand and blamed the attack on the ousted defense minister and intelligence chief. Fabius admitted Sunday for the first time that French agents bombed the environmentalist group's ship and covered up their activities from an official inquiry. Fabius said it was difficult to determine who specifically gave the order to sink the ship July 10 at its berth in Auckland, New Zealand, because "there was no written order." He said he questioned former Defense Minister Charles Hernu and secret service chief Adm. Pierre Lacoste yesterday afternoon. "My conviction is that both of them acted under the impulse of their own idea of what was in the interest of our country," he said. "My convic- tion is that it is at their level where the responsibility lies." Lacoste was fired last week for refusing to answer questions about the sinking, and Hernu, who had ultimate responsibility for the secret ser- vice, resigned. Mexico to study building codes MEXICO CITY - Rescuers dug toward signs of life yesterday and President Miguel de la Madrid began a review of city building codes. He said demolition would proceed cautiously to avoid endangering buried survivors. Mayor Ramon Aguirre's office raised its estimate of the death toll in Mexico City from the two great earthquakes last Thursday and Friday to 3,500. National government officials have said the total could go to 5,000, and that about 100 people were killed outside the capital. About 1,500 people were believed trapped in the wreckage, some perhaps still alive. Aguirre's office said 11,700 people were injured, of whom 1,700 remained hospitalized. De la Madrid started the review of the building codes at a meeting with city officials yesterday. It will include land use, building heights, allowable population density and construction standards. Communications, transportation and education were creeping back to normal yesterday, but city officials said at least 2 million people still were without drinking water. Most are in the southern part of this huge urban sprawl of 18 million people. U.S. Ambassador John Gavin said late Tuesday that the United States was delivering 800 water tanks of 3,000-gallon capacity, vehicles to carry them, and water purification tablets.

But University Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson, who consulted with Wilson about requesting student input, said that MSA's request is "neither practical nor realistic. It's their reading of their constitution.'' "I don't think that the University in all its aspects should hold to MSA's in- terpretation of its constitution," Johnson said. He added that he knows of nothing in the regents by-laws which affirms MSA's sole prerogative to appoint students to committees. THE REGENTS' by-laws ap- proved in March, 1981, give MSA the sole authority to recommend students to serve on certain University com- mittees, including the Committee on Communications, the Student Ser- vices Policy Board, and the Univer- sity Council. But the by-laws do not say the assembly can make nominations to all student-faculty committees throughout the University.

Cole said last night that he is prepared to spend up to 50 hours a week on assembly work. Feusse resigned from her position because she said she was unable to devote the 40 weekly hours to her job as assem- bly leaders demanded. "AT THIS point, the assembly is at a standstill on how things are running internally," Cole said. He added that getting the office moving again will be his first priority as vice president.
