Lawyer takes on dual
rale in recording case
CHARLOTTE A Raleigh lawyer
who’s representing Beverly Smith,
the woman accused of eavesdropping
in the governor’s race, also may
prosecute Smith’s accuser on separate
trespassing charges.
Attorney Joe Cheshire said it was
unusual for him to be involved in both
cases. But both he and the assistant
district attorney
said they see no
conflict.
Livesay
charged in
October that
Smith, a sup
porter of N.C.
Gov. Jim Hunt,
illegally listened
to phone
conversations of
Republican Jim
Gardner, Hunt’s
Jim Gardner
opponent in last year’s gubernatorial
race. The accusations came just days
before the Nov. 3 election. The FBI is
investigating, but no charges have
been filed.
Smith later accused Livesay, her
former boyfriend, of trespassing at
her home. Livesay was arrested on
the trespassing charges on Nov. 16,
the night before he testified about the
campaign eavesdropping allegations
to a federal grand jury in Raleigh.
He claims he saw Smith monitor,
take notes on and record cellular
phone conversations between Gardner
and Gardner’s son Chris from
December 1991 to October 1992.
Livesay alleges that Smith fed
information from the eavesdropping
to two of Hunt’s then law partners,
Phil Carlton and Charles Lane, and
that they encouraged her activities.
Hunt and his campaign deny any
knowledge of the incident.
Somalian snipers fire
at U.S. congressmen
MOGADISHU, Somalia Gunfire
crackled across Mogadishu on
Sunday as U.S. congressmen came
under sniper fiic and Marines killed
three Somali in a shoot-out. Dozens
of Somalis were wounded in clan
fighting.
As the fighting raged, the warring
factions reached agreement on a
cease-fire. The 14 factions, meeting in
the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa,
said the truce started at 4 p.m.
Sunday. They also agreed to disarm
their militias by March 1.
On Sunday, snipers took aim at
U.S. forces in the capital in more than
half a dozen attacks, including an
attempted ambush in the dark outside
the walls of the former U.S. Embassy
compound, now the Marines’
headquarters. Alerted by a spotter,
the Marines fired first, killing three
Somalis. No Americans were injured.
On a one-day visit to Somalia,
seven U.S. congressmen inspected
relief projects in Baidoa, a town in the
so-called “famine triangle” in the
interior. As the congressmen returned
to the Mogadishu soccer stadium,
snipers fired in their direction.
Marines hustled the legislators,
clad in camouflage fatigues, beneath
the stadium. They left the area in an
armored personnel carrier.
U.S. military predicts
clash with Saddam
ABOARD THE USS KITTY HAWK
American fighter pilots said
Sunday that they believe sooner or
later they will have to tangle with the
military forces of Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein.
An immediate confrontation was
averted Saturday when the White
House announced that Iraq had
backed down and removed anti
aircraft missiles that were threatening
U.S. air patrols over southern Iraq.
But the pilots predicted Saddam
would continue his “cheat and retreat”
tactics, seeing how far he can go in
violating U.N. and allied edicts that
have hamstrung his government since
the Persian Gulf War.
“He just keeps chipping away at
this thing and sooner or later it has to
explode. I wonder if we are delaying
the inevitable,” said Lt. Cmdr. Dale
Bruetting.
Some believe the next period of
tension could come around the Jan. 20
inauguration of President-elect
Clinton.
The latest confrontation came in
the “no-fly” zone imposed over
southern Iraq on Aug. 27 by Western
powers to prevent Baghdad from
using its air force to attack Shiite
Muslim rebels.

Legislature to consider tuition hike
By James Lewis
Staff Writer
Students might have to suffer through
another tuition hike next fall if the N.C.
General Assembly approves a recom
mendation from the Government Per
formance Audit Committee.
The recommendation, written by a
legislative subcommittee, would make
UNC-system students pay more of their
educational costs. According to the pro
posal, urrergraduates would pay an
additional 20 percent and graduate stu
dents would pay 50 percent more than
current tuition levels.
Students have seen several large in
creases in tuition since the late 1980s. In
1989, tuition increased 20 percent for
in-state students and 15 percent for out
of-state students. The General Assem

RALEIGH Despite dismal rain
and freezing temperatures, N.C. Gov.
Jim Hunt took his oath of office Satur
day with a promise that his new admin
istration would uplift the children of
North Carolina.
Hunt, who served as N.C. governor
from 1976 to 1984, stressed the impor
tance of providing the state’s “future
leaders” with adequate day care, better
educational programs and the opportu
nity to excel.
“I am more certain that we can build
a better future for our children,” Hunt
said in his 17-minute inaugural speech.
“I believe that North Carolina can do
more for its young children than we
have done before.... And lam ready to
lead a crusade for the future of our
children and our state.”
During his race for the governor’s
seat, Hunt said his administration would
strive to create more jobs and better
working conditions for the families of
North Carolina. Hunt, who defeated
N.C. Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner in Novem
ber, relayed a similar message to the
crowd of 8,000 guests and onlookers.
The governor also followed Presi
dent-elect Bill Clinton’s theme of
change. Hunt said that although key
decisions would be made during legis
lative sessions and governmental pro
cedures, the people of North Carolina
were the primary factor in improving
the state’s conditions.
“Change will not be measured by
what happens in Raleigh. It will be
measured by what happens in your
homes and your communities It will
be measured by the lives we touch.”
Hunt said that he would abide by the
same principles that led him to seek
public office but that he would not lead
his administration with a partisan hand.
‘Today, people ask if there’s anew
Jim Hunt or if it’s the same old Jim
Hunt. ... I hope I am wiser and more

MONDAY, JANUARY 11,1993
Serving the students and the University community since 1893
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
bly approved another 20 percent tuition
increase for in-state students and a 25
percent increase for non-residents in
the summer of 1991. Out-of-state stu
dents were dealt another 11.5 percent
blow this summer.
Provost Richard McCormick cau
tioned that an increase in tuition was not
a cure-all for the University’s budget
problems.
“The state of North Carolina, tradi
tionally and constitutionally, has his
torically maintained a low-tuition rate,”
he said. “The increase is not necessary,
provided the state can find other sources
of revenue to fund the system.”
If the General Assembly does ap
prove the proposal, a substantial por
tion of the additional funds should go
for financial aid, since tuition hikes
impose an additional burden on poorer

I am less ambitious for myself. But I am
more ambitious for our state.”
Hunt took a moment in his speech to
thank parents, teachers and other North
Carolinians for their dedicated service
to the state’s advancement.
“There are hundreds of thousands of
people who know what must be done...
who are ready to work together ... to
change our state, save our children and
shape our future,” Hunt said.
N.C. residents, McCormick said.
Chancellor Paul Hardin would not
comment directly on the increase but
said tuition funds should stay on the
campus of their origin, not go into the
state’s general fund as they have in the
past.
“I have long advocated for tuition
reform in North Carolina so that stu
dents directly feel the benefits of tuition
increases instead of going into a general
fund for the state, as is now the case,” he
said.
Hardin said tuition should not be
used as a source of revenue when the
state experienced budget shortfalls.
‘Tuition is a totally inappropriate source
of state revenue,” he said.
Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe,

recommended the increase, said he

Political cartoonists have had a field
day with President-elect Bill Clinton’s
hair ever since the Arkansas governor
declared his intention to run for the
nation’s highest office.
It’s time for them to stop. After all,
Clinton can’t help his obsession with
his locks. It’s in his sign.

tent.
Nesbitt said he hoped the report would
“simply start conversation” about the
problems facing the UNC system.
Nesbitt said he did not agree with
Hardin’s suggestion to keep the tuition
money at the campus where it was paid.
“I’ve always thought the proper way
to do that is for the chancellors to come
to the General Assembly and make their
case for more money and then let the
General Assembly decide,” he said.
“You can keep the tuition money (on
campus), but you can’t be sure that
appropriations stay. In the end, it would
not insure more money for the Univer
sity system.”
Nesbitt said he believed a large in
crease in tuition was a real possibility in
