Shot Man Drives Himself to Hospital B> MARK R MOSS C hromtle Sjaff ^ nter Wyatt Robert Agnew moved to Winston-Salem from Washington. D.C.. two years ago because of the violence. Last week, he discovered that there is no great escape. Agnew, 37. of 1003 Fenimore St.. was shot in the back as he sat behind the wheel of his 1978 Chevy Luv pickup truck in the 1900 block of Maryland Avenue. After being shot, he immediately drove himself to Baptist Hospital where he is recu perating after surgery. The bullet of an unidentified assailant went through the bed of the pickup and into Agnew's back. Agneu said he had gone to visit a friend, but the friend wasn't at home. He was on his way to another friend's house when he noticed i woman walking down the street. H<j pulled over, he said, and began talk ing to her. He offered to give her a ridtr Thr wnman arrrpteri. and moments later a gunman pulled up in a burgundy car. Agnew said that the only thing the man asked him to do was not move. He said he held his hands in the air. but when his foot slipped off, the truck lurched forward. "He shot me then," Agnew said. "I knew I was about to die." He said he put the car in gear and took off with the woman still in the passenger seat. Once he shot 1 me, I knew it was time to go," said Agnew, a press operator at Lee Jeans. The woman, whom he hasn't seen since the incident, began yelling 'Let me out! Let me out!'* he said. Agnew told her, "You ain't getting out until I get to a doctor." He said he felt that if he had stopped at a phone to call for help, it would have taken too much time. He said he thought that the suspect and the woman knew each other. No arTests have been madat and the investigation is still open, police Sgt. W.G. Miller said He said a wit ness told police that Agnew was at a stop sign when he was approached by a man who had just gotten out of Wyatt Robert Agnew a car. The man demanded money, but Agnew told the man that he did n't have any. The suspect then told him to get out of the truck and the man grabbed Agnew's collar. Agnew took off, and the suspect fired at the truck s cab. The victim is the first cousin of Ray Agnew Jr., a Winston-Salem native, who plays for the New Eng land Patriots. Ray Agnew Sr. said that his son knows about the inci dent, but beeause of his football schedule, may not get the chance to visit his cousin. Wayne Agnew was expected to be released form the hospital this week. Monday, Oct 18 Carl Rut sell Recreation First Place- Gen Floyd Neal. Second Pla<3^| Frances CoHe^ud Andrew Wilkes, m ^ ?

J Due J Amt | A/C | D?e Tku Sem Update n \_J n November 2, You Have the Chance to Vote For North Carolina's Future We're proud of our state University. The 16 campuses of the University of North Carolina allow deserving students to excel in every region of our state. And our universities are the key to eco nomic development for the future. On November 2, we have a unique opportunity. We can vote FOR Questior|?27the University Improvement Referendum, and make sure every campus of the University of North Carolina remains strong. ?" I lie I'niversity Improvement Referendum will: ? Provide for deserving students and our eeonomie future. Our campuses are becoming overcrowded. Without new classrooms and laboratories, our universities will have to turn away qualified, deserving students. And we run the risk of losing out in the competition for new industry and high-wage jobs. ? Build essential facilities on every campus. At Elizabeth City State, a new Fine Arts and Mass Communications Building will be constructed. State-of-the-art class rooms and laboratories will l>e provided by the new School of Teehnologv Building at North Carolina A&T. At Fayetteville State, North Carolina Central and Winston ' Salem State, much needed renovations and construction will be eompleted for stu dent facilities. ? Provide needed improvements that have been delayed since 1988. The reces sion's impact on the state budget has made funding sparse for university construc tion for five years. As a result, essential buildings and renovations have been deferred, while enrollment has increased by 16,000 and will increase bv an addition - al 20,000 students by the year 2000. ? Create 11,000 jobs in North Carolina. The construction of new buildings will boost employment right away, adding an estimated 11,000 jobs. ? Invest in the future and save taxpayers money. Interest rates are at their lowest point in more than two decades. North Carolina is one of four states in the country with the highest credit rating. State Treasurer Harlan Boyles says the issuance of these bonds should not raise taxes. ? Provide a better future for all North Carolinians. Recent studies suggest that every dollar invested in our universities yields two to three dollars to the growth of North Carolina's economy. That's why over 30 community and business groups from across the state and all four former governors - Democrat and Republican alike - support the University Improvement Referendum. On November Second Vote for Our University Vote FOR Question 2 The University Improvement Referendum Paid for by North Carolinians for Our University, Our Future C.C Cameron, Treasurer
