Winter storm brings
first snow in 3 years
A winter storm that forecasters said
could be the state’s first big snow in
three years moved into western North
Carolina on Thursday, opening ski
slopes and closing schools.
A combination of winter storm
warnings and advisories for Thursday
night and Friday covered most of
North Carolina, with accumulations
expected in some areas of up to 6
inches and freezing rain anticipated in
other areas.
One forecaster said the storm could
veer northward and dump most of its
precipitation in Virginia.
“It’s still kind of hard to tell right
now,” said John Valentine of the
National Weather Service office at
Raleigh-Durham International
Airport.
Serb troops ordered
not to shoot at planes
SARAJEVO, Bosniam-Herzegovina
Bosnian Serb leaders ordered their
troops Thursday not to shoot at U.S.
planes parachuting aid to eastern
Bosnia but warned that the planned
airdrop could worsen the war or
impede peace talks.
In Washington, President Clinton
formally announced that the U.S.
militaiy will drop food for the hungry
in besieged eastern towns. The timing
of the airdrops will be determined by
the Defense Department and the
United Nations, he said.
The food-drop operation will be the
deepest American involvement yet in
the war over Bosnia’s secession from
Serb-dominated Yugoslavia.
A statement from the Bosnian Serb
military told troops not to fire at
American transport planes “or to by
any means jeopardize” the airdrops,
the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug
said.
Indian protesters cal
for end to government
NEW DELHI, India Riot police
fired tear gas and chased protesters
from dawn to dusk Thursday to stop
tens of thousands of Hindu militants
from massing for a rally to demand
the government’s ouster.
At least 88 people were injured and
more than 2,800 people were arrested,
city police chief Mukund Behari
Kaushal told reporters at his make
shift headquarters behind barricades
on the Parliament grounds.
The government’s success in
preventing the rally was a boost for
Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao,
who was accused of indecisiveness in
dealing with religious riots that
engulfed India after Hindus tore down
a Muslim mosque in December in the
town of Ayodhya.
Hunt unveils bond plan
for prison expansion
RALEIGH lnmates would help the
state build an additional 4,200 prison
beds under N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt’s plan
for spending the remaining $87.5
million from a bond package.
The plan released Thursday
includes two work farms and a boot
camp for youthful offenders. The rest
of the proposal deals mostly with
additions at 17 of 91 existing
facilities.
Hunt said the plan fulfills a
campaign pledge.
“I promised that we’d put more
criminals in jail, that we’d build less
costly prisons and that we’d put
prisoners to work,” Hunt said at a
news conference. “I consider this a
promise kept.”
Jury rules Van Damme
must pay injured man
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. A jury
Thursday awarded a man $487,500 in
damages for eye injuries sustained
while filming a scene with kick
boxing actor Jean Claude Van
Damme.
After the verdict, Superior Court
Judge Coy E. Brewer Jr. began
interviewing jurors. One juror had
said he talked to a karate instructor
and others during the trial. Van
Damme could seek a mistrial or make
other motions if the judge determines
there was an attempt to influence the
jury.
The lawsuit was brought against
the actor by Jackson “Rock”
Pinckney, a former soldier at Fort
Bragg.
Pinckney says he was injured
during the filming of the movie
“Cyborg” in Wilmington four years
ago.

Boulton questions Moody’s secrecy
By Anna Griffin
University Editor
The University’s vice chancellor for
student affairs said he plans to use his
weekly meeting with Student Body
President John Moody today to “find
out what is going on” in Suite C and
answer questions raised this week about
Moody’s conduct.
Vice Chancellor Donald Boulton,
who is student government’s faculty
adviser, said he learned this week that
Moody had gone to the Kenan Founda
tion to ask for funds for a speaker series
that student government is planning with
the Carolina Union Activities Board.

Sampson gambles, UNC profits

As the ACC’s leading scorer, UNC’s
Tonya Sampson gets her share of ink.
Throw in the fact that she ranks sixth in
the conference in 3-point field goal per
centage and one might think that she is
the Tar Heel offense.
What does Sampson have to say about
all this?
“I read in the paper the other day and
it said it was ‘The Tonya Sampson
Show’ and I was like, ‘please,’”
Sampson said. “I mean it sounded like I
was the only one out there doing some
thing. Maybe it was the ‘Lady Tar Heel
Show’?”
It’s certainly one of the best shows in
town. The 5-foot-9 guard from Clinton
has helped the Tar Heels achieve a 10-
5 conference record, good for a clinch
of at least third place in the ACC regu
lar-season standings.
Although Sampson places priority
on the team’s success, it’s hard to over
look her individual stats.
While averaging 21.0 points per
game, Sampson has also snared 8.2
rebounds per outing, good for fifth place
in the ACC. Sampson has recorded eight
double-doubles this year, including a
38-point, 14-board outburst in UNC’s
upset win Jan. 23 against Maryland.
Besides her outside stroke, Sampson
possesses the brute force to battle inside
the key, an attribute few guards can
claim, said UNC head coach Sylvia
Hatchell. One look at Sampson’s mus
cular frame tells you that she is no
ordinary guard.
“One of Tonya’s greatest assets is
her strength, because she can intimidate
on offense and defense,” Hatchell said.
“She’s big for a guard, but she is very,
very strong.”
But Sampson’s strength hasn’t been
at its optimum level as of late, and it’s
not due to the shortness of her hair. A
bout with bronchitis developed into
walking pneumonia last week, render
ing Sampson a weary warrior.

Wallace dedicating life to civil rights
Editor’s note: This is the last in a five-part series recogniz
ing blacks who have made a difference on campus and in the
community.
By Phuong Ly
Staff Writer
As one of the first black administrators working at pre
dominately white universities in North Carolina during the
1960 sand ’7os, Harold Wallace has had to carry a double
burden —as an administrator and as a black person.
His 24-year career as a university administrator has helped
break down color barriers and mark several firsts.
In 1969, Wallace became the first
black to work on a dean’s staff at Duke
University. When he moved to UNC as
assistant dean of student affairs in 1973
at age 27, he was one of only a handful
of black administrators at the Univer
sity, “probably fewer than five,” he
said.
In 1980, he became the first black vice chancellor of a
predominately white school in the UNC system when he was
appointed vice chancellor of University affairs at UNC —a
position he still holds today.
His appointments have brought “tremendous pressure” as
well as a “tremendous opportunity,” he said.
“Either you have the opportunity to break some of the
stereotypes about blacks, or you’re going to reinforce them,”
said Wallace, 47. “Not only must we walk on water, but we
must drink all the water at the same time.”
But as racial walls have been chipped away and more
blacks have been hired as administrators, Wallace has felt
less pressure as a black administrator. “The further we’ve
gotten away from breaking barriers, the less I’ve felt that
burden,” he said in his quiet, even voice.
In his 20 years at UNC, Wallace has worked to bring
diversity through the recruitment of minority students, staff
and faculty. He was one of the founders of the UNC Black
Faculty Staff Caucus and serves on several University com
mittees, helping to promote racial equality.
He has served as adviser to the Black Student Movement
for the past 20 years and also works with the Carolina Indian
Circle.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor of student affairs, said
Wallace had played an instrumental role in advancing race
governments to send in applications
and S2O in annual dues. He said Moody
had not contacted him about the organi
zation. He added that under normal pro
cedures, he would have signed any grant
requests sent out from student govern
ment but that he had not filled out any
such forms for possible NASG grants.
“There are rules and regulations you
need to follow in setting up an organiza
tion and raising funds,” he said.
“You don’t just send out letters and
get checks mailed back in. You have to
have books and keep track of these
things. You have to set up a (Student
Activities Fund Office) account. You
have to go by the procedures set down.”
SAFO Director Howard Brubaker
said earlier this week that Moody had
not contacted him about setting up a
Charge it: Cards

vary in services
By Peter Sigal
Staff Writer
It’s 1 p.m. in Union Station—for a
lot of students, it’s snack time.
Clutching Cokes, candy bars or ice
cream, they wait in line to pay for their
sugar or caffeine fixes. Most of them
will use UNC One Cards to pay for
their purchases.
“I use it at least once a day,” said
Sandy Waters, a sophomore from
Waynesville who used her card to buy
coffee, a bagel and a cranberry-or
ange muffin.
Campus debit cards have grown in
popularity in the past few years. More
than 50 colleges nationwide now have
some form of universal card that stu
dents can use to charge everything
from postage stamps to pizza.
But the cards are not only a conve
nience for students. For many schools,
the cards are a way to increase rev
enue by keeping student money on
campus. In some college towns, local
merchants who participate in the sys
tem profit from cash-strapped students.
While generally supporting the idea
of a cashless campus, some UNC ad
ministrators worry the cards will blur
the distinctions between town and
university.
“The purpose of the UNC One Card
is not to become part of a huge finan
cial network that jacks up costs to
everybody,” said Rutledge Tufts, UNC
director of auxiliary services. The
University' purposely had limited the
card to on-campus stores, he said.

Harold Wallace has marked many firsts in his career
relations and diversity at the University.
“Since he came to join us, he has been faithfully at work,
... assisting us in finding our way toward diversity,” said
Boulton, who has worked with Wallace for 20 years. “He has
a personality of reconciliation. He wants to bring people
together to reconcile differences.”
Wallace said he first had felt the need to promote racial
reconciliation when he was growing up in segregated Gaffney,
S.C., during the 1950 sand 19605.

Boulton said he could not comment
on the falsified memo until he had spo
ken with Moody.
“I’m being careful to leave it as a
joke right now,” he said. “It’s a forgery.
But I don’t see any point in pushing it.”
The Code of Student Conduct pro
hibits “furnishing of false information,
with the intent to deceive, to members
of the University who are acting in their
official duties.” In Title 11, Article D,
the code also lists forgery, falsification
or fraudulent misuse of University docu
ments as a code violation.

calls Thursday, told members of Stu-

“There’s no need for us to infiltrate
every aspect of daily life,” he said.
But at Florida State University, the
Seminole Access Card can do just
that. FSU students can use their ID
cards to do their laundry, purchase
athletic tickets, make copies, buy meals
and snacks, pay their tuition and check
out library books—in total, more than
50 separate uses. And that’s just on
campus.
Seminoles also can use their cards
at more than 200 merchants in the city
of Tallahassee, including automatic
teller machines, auto mechanics, travel
agents, grocery stores and clothing
shops, said Bill Norwood, Florida
State’s associate director of academic
computing.
Norwood said students received a
monthly statement of charges similar
to a regular debit card like American
Express.
“Local merchants are extremely ex
cited about (it),” Norwood said. “You
cannot restrict use of these cards to
campus only.”
The card can even be used to track
lost Seminoles, Norwood said. In the
event of an emergency or family cri
sis, FSU can put a “call home” mes
sage in their database. If the missing
student tries to use his card, the mes
sage appears on the magnetic strip
reader.
But Tufts said UNC officials had
ruled out expanding the One Card to
local businesses.
