Page 13A The Gaffney Gilbert Bollenger, a seismologist from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, said one question that must be addressed is how to prepare for a quake. "They're having a hard time predicting in California now.

The first thing to do is specify a hazard and then decide what we should do," he said. While researchers have said an earthquake with the destructive force of the Charleston quake might happen only once every years, Bollenger warned that "the 1,000 years includes tomorrow." Earthquake confab continues responsible for the quake. "There's something about the geology of the intraplate area that's different from the inter-plate area," he said. He said a local feature in the Charleston area may have caused the quake which claimed 60 lives and added that "the type of fault may only be one of a similar set of structures throughout the East." "There's a reasonable basis to say there are a number of faults in the Charleston-Summerville area," he said, noting that the epicenter of the great quake was between Charleston and Sum-merville. ISLE OF PALMS, S.C.

(AP) -Scientists readily know why the San Andreas fault causes so much earthquake hardship for California. But what causes earthquakes to occur in a place like Charleston is another matter. The West Coast earthquakes are caused by movement along a fault where two plates in the earth's surface come together. But Charleston rests in the middle of a tectonic plate reaching from California to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and Greg Gohn of the U.S. Geological Survey says there's a "struggle to find the major structures" in- volved in intraplate quakes.

Gohn is one of a group of about 140 researchers, seismologists and others meeting here this to discuss the great Charleston earthquake of 1886 and its implications for the East Coast. He was scheduled to release a report today bringing together much of the research on the Charleston quake that's been conducted over the last decade. Gohn said there are a number of hypotheses dealing with the Charleston quake, most concerning whether shallow vertical faults or movement along deeper horizontal faults may have been Build beautiful, loncj-lasting patios Ccx way 4 GSE2GL -wwwJLiY 3-11 i I if' I I I When you build outdoors, Wal-Mart scholarship winner Gaffney High School senior Tina Hughes is shown receiving a $1,000 scholarship award from Walter McClellan, manager of the Gaffney Wal-Mart store.

ROBINSON 48S-ffll Third installment of xSar Wars' opens to crowded theatres today By The Associated Press The long-awaited conclusion of George Lucas' "Star Wars" trilogy, "The Return of the Jedi," opened to crowded theaters today, leaving a galaxy of fans with stars in their eyes and producers predicting box office receipts out of this world. "The ending was super it was apple pie and motherhood all over again," said David Smith of Fort Worth, who attended a benefit premiere Tuesday evening in Dallas, of the 11 previews for charity around the country; "They set it upVery nice and kept all the surprises for the On the West Coast, some theaters began showing the movie commercially at midnight, and New York theaters planned to open early. The film was slated to open at 900 movie houses coast-to-coast.

The opening of "Jedi," which winds up the saga started in "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back," was timed to coincide with the sixth anniversary of the premiere of "Star Wars." Despite mixed reviews, advance sales for "Jedi" were booming and telephones were busy at theaters Tuesday as fans mapped strategy for an early look at the latest installment in the adventures of Luke, Leia, Lando, Han and company. The $32.5 million film got a generally enthusiastic reception from its first paying audiences Tuesday night at the benefit premieres in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Boston, Cleveland, Flint, Tucson, Oakland, and Toronto. "It was absolutely fabulous," said Mrs. Paula Kamisher, who with Annette Schmidt came to the movie in Los Angeles with their two sons, both cancer patients at UCLA Medical Center. "It's one of the best I have ever seen." At Lucas' request, the benefits were for children-oriented charities.

Capacity crowds at three screenings in Los Angeles paid $25 a ticket, raising $70,000 for Concern II, part of a private charity for cancer immunology research for children, officials said. The movie reveals Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as brother and sister and portrays the villainous Darth Vader as Luke's father. The film ends with Vader showing his good side by saving his son from death at the hands of the evil emperor, and the good guys winning the three-movie war by destroying the Empire's Death Star spacecraft. 205 North Granard Prices Good At All Family Dollar Stores Through This Weekend While Quantities Last.

The top show of the week was NBC's "Motown: Yesterday, Today and Forever," a tribute to 25 years of music from Detroit. ABC won with a rating of 15.4. CBS was second with 14.9 and NBC was third with 13.6. The networks say this means that in an average prime time minute 15.4 percent of the country's TV homes were tuned to ABC. Despite two victories by ABC and one by NBC, CBS held a narrow lead in the May sweeps in the Nielsen and Arbitron ratings.

The sweeps are periods during which more comprehensive ratings are taken to determine the advertising rates for local stations. CBS has maintained a lead because of an advantage it has gained by the midweek start of the sweeps. CBS' "One Day at a Time," in which Bonnie Franklin's character was married, came in 15th. The show at the bottom of the ratings was NBC's news magazine "Monitor." Here are the week's 10 top programs 1.
