SADD may take money
from alcohol suppliers
By Stephanie Greer
AMtetanl State- and National Editor
- In a move that has ignited debate
within its ranks, the national Students
Against Drunk Driving organization
announced this week that it would
consider taking monetary donations
■from the alcohol industry to alleviate
mounting financial troubles.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for
the organization to take funding from
it,” said Art Mainwood, Florida’s
SADD coordinator. ”It’s confusing to
people when you say you’re very
staunchly against DWI, and then you
turn around and take donations from
the alcohol industry.”
Mainwood said he would resign if
the donations were accepted
The 12-year-old organization has
experienced financial difficulties since
it stopped taking donations from the
alcohol industry in 1989, said William
Cullinane, SADD’s national execu
tive director. “The perception was that
the liquor industry’s advertising was
still appealing to young people.”
SADD’s board of directors recently
asked Anheuser-Busch Companies,
Inc. to resume funding, and although
the company has not contributed yet, it
said in a statement that it shared
SADD’s goals and would like to do
nate. “We are willing to help now as
we did in the past, with no strings
attached," the statement said
Cullinane emphasized that the group
was not in debt, but had taken $700,000
out of reserve funds during the past
two years. He said he thought the
media’s articles had given SADD a
debt-ridden image.

Wow, somebody must think we owe
money to somebody,’” he said.
Diana Clontz, president of theUNC
branch of SADD, said she thought it
was fitting for the alcohol industry to
donate money to help prevent drunken
driving.
“I think that the alcohol industry
has an obligation to us to do their part
... They’re more than willing to rec
ognize that they owe us something,”
she said, adding that the S ADD-spon
sored Safeßide largely had been sup
ported by Anheuser-Busch.
Clontz said die UNC branch of
SADD was concerned only with pre
venting people from driving drunk,
not with preventing people from drink
ing. “There really is nothing wrong
with people who know how to drink
responsibly,” she said. “I definitely do
not see a problem with taking dona
tions from the alcohol industry.”
But many ofSADD’smemberssaid
they felt accepting money from the
alcohol industry would be a mistake.
“I have told the board for two years
... that we didn’t take money and
wouldn’t take money (from the indus
try),” Cullinane said.
Mainwood said he had not spoken
with any coordinators who advocated
accepting the industry’s money.
Cullinane said American corpora
tions had pledged to make up for the
money lost if the organization halted
the flow of funds from the alcohol
industry, but had not followed up on
that pledge. “The promise from corpo
rate America was that ‘if you drop the
money, then we’ll help you,’ and it
didn’t happen,” he said.
Robert Anastas, founder of SADD,
could not be reached for comment.
STATE AND NATIONAL
Adviser: West must aid Bosnia
By Jerry McElreath
Staff Writer
A former foreign affairs adviser to
Croatian president Franjo Tudjman
urged military intervention to halt the
slaughter of Bosnians and Croats by
Serbian nationalists in aspeech at UNC’s
Hamilton Hall Wednesday.
“If something does not happen in the
next three to four weeks, I can see the
complete extermination of the Mus
lims,” said Slaven Letica, now a sociol
ogy professor at Croatia’s University of
Zagreb.
Letica spoke to an audience of about
25 during the third session of a sympo
sium sponsored by the Coalition for the
Conference on the former Yugoslavia.
He placed the future of Bosnia
squarely on the shoulders of foreign
powers and outlined a number of ac
tions that he said would restore peace to
the region.
He said the two most important steps
the West could take to end the violence
in Bosnia would be to lift the U.N. arms
embargo currently in effect and to en
sure direct military intervention of for
eign powers in the conflict.
“Air strikes against Bosnia and Serbia
would have the highest efficiency,”
Letica said.

During the initial occupation of his
office, Hardin suggested that if students
wanted to talk to him, everyone should
move to another location and discuss
BCC issues.
“I will answer no questions about the
BCC while you are unwelcome guests
in my office,” he told the protesters.
After the majority of students in the
office refused to leave, Hardin asked
Schroeder to read a prepared statement
about the University ’ s disruption policy.
Before reading the statement,
Schroeder asked the students to leave.
“I believe you are putting in jeopardy
the progress you have made by putting
this in a situation when you will have to
leave because you are disrupting a build
ing,” he said.
Provost Richard McCormick, who
stayed in Hardin’s office throughout
the confrontation without addressing
the students, told reporters that the ar
rests put the University in a bad posi
tion.
“It’s a really sad day for the Univer
sity,” he said. “I am really just sick
about it all. I hope that it doesn’t nega
tively affect the push for a free-standing
black cultural center. I’m just really
sick about it.”
Hardin told reporters he didn’t un
derstand why the students were escalat
ing their protest.

arms to any country in the region has
been in existence since 1991, but Letica
said the Serbs were not inconvenienced
by it because they had been preparing
militarily since 1986.
Letica added that the Bosnians and
Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina pos
sessed only small arms, such as rifles
and pistols.
Serbian forces had machine guns and
artillery, he said.
“These people have a right to defend
themselves,” Letica said.
Letica said lifting the arms embargo
would “ensure a fair fight” and end
domination of Bosnians and Croats by
superior Serbian firepower.
He also said lifting the embargo
would allow Bosnians and Croats to
withstand the Serbs for a longer period
of time and possibly retake some of
their homeland, 75 percent of which is
under Serbian control.
Letica said ineffectual protests by
Western leaders had allowed Bosnia-
Herzegovina to be overran by Serbian
President Slobodan Milosevic’s forces.
“Western leaders have been trying to
prevent a Nazi maniac with idle threats,”
he said.
He said the current war crimes tribu
nals in Bosnia were “a silly idea.”
Despite the bleak situation in Bosnia-
Herzegovina, Letica said he still felt
dents,” he said. “I think it has something
to do with Rev. Jackson’s visit. They
have moved from the area of creative
speech to the area of disruptive behav
ior.”
Hardin said he did not know what
legal action the University would take.
“My only purpose was to return sta
bility to South Building and establish
some sort of order,” Hardin said. “I
don’t know whether any action will be
taken by the student judicial system, but
it is possible.”
Staci Hill, who has served as a spokes
woman for the students occupying South
Building, said before she was arrested
that the civil disobedience was a cry for
attention.
“The sit-in has been going on for 14
days,” she said. “We are not directing
our action toward the Board of Trust
ees. We as students feel this is the only
way we can get attention.”
Merchant recited a scripture verse
from Galatians while an officer escorted
her out of South Building. “Before this
faith came today, we were held prison
ers by the law,” she read. The officer
waited until she had nearly finished
reading the verse, then asked her to
enter the waiting police van.
After the 16 students and one com
munity member were taken away in the
police van, Jimmy Hitchcock, former
BSM president Michelle Thomas and
Letricia Henry led about 180 students
some optimism. He said he thought
Clinton’s administration would have to
take action in the near future and the
Bosnians and Croats would be able to
regain the land they lost to the Serbs.
Letica said he had experience in push
ing for Western military action against
Serbia. In 1990, he was part of a Croatian
envoy to President Bush that included
Tudjman. He said the Bush administra
tion had been unwilling to back their
cause.
“In short, we did not get any kind of
support from the White House,” Letica
said.
Before Letica spoke, Dr. James
Sadkovich, a history professor at the
University of Southern Mississippi,
criticized Western leaders’ response to
the conflict.
He said U.N. member countries had
a responsibility to prevent the Balkan
bloodbath, especially if they wanted
their resolutions to have any effect on
future conflicts.
“The law is not the law unless it is
enforced,” Sadkovich said.
Sadkovich accused the Serbs of at
tempting genocide.
“They are trying to eradicate the
Croatian cultural identity and erasing
all remnants of the Muslims,” he said.
“Serbian fanaticism and policy of
‘ethnic cleansing’ is destroying Bosnia.”

Department on Airport Road.
By the time the winding column of
students reached the police station, the
17 people arrested had been taken to the
Orange County Jail in Hillsborough for
arraignment.
Early Thursday, Crawford announced
to students gathered on Hardin’s lawn
that she would move the BCC offices
into Hardin’s office later that day. “This
man is acting like a master,” she said.
“I’m not going to play the slave.”
She asked all present to go to the
BCC and help carry all the pictures and
furniture to South Building.
“All the stuff is moving into the
chancellor’s office,” she said. “If I
wasn’t black I’d probably be the chan
cellor anyway.”
Dignity had become more important
than anything else, Crawford said. “I’m
not concerned about my job, I’m con
cerned about dignity.”
Bradley, Hill and Merchant were ar
rested along with: Hitchcock and Tim
Smith, co-founders of the Black Aware
ness Council; Shayne Vann; Chariss
Sanders; Chris Baumann; Sara McKee;
Sonya Harris; Carolynn McDonald;
Joseph Jones Jr.; Celeste Frye; Loma

School. They were taken to the Orange

Top stories from state, nation and world
Sick juror back; King
beating trial resumes
LOS ANGELES A juror whose
illness had halted deliberations in the
federal Rodney King beating trial
rejoined the panel Thursday for a
sixth day of talks.
The 12 jurors sent no immediate
word of their progress. They took
lunch at their usual time.
The panel, sequestered since Feb.
25, had deliberated a total of 25 1/2
hours since Saturday when the
juror’s illness cut Wednesday’s
session short. No information about
the illness was disclosed, and the
jurors haven’t been identified.
Meanwhile, for the third time in
two weeks, U.S. District Judge John
G. Davies criticized reporters
covering the trial and threatened for
the first time to shut down the trial
press room.
He contended that a TV reporter
violated a court order by broadcast
ing a closed-circuit press-room
speaker feed of proceedings in the
courtroom Wednesday. Unlike many
state courts, federal courts don’t
allow cameras or recording equip
ment in trials.
FBI officials skeptical
about Koresti’s book
WACO, Texas Religious scholars
have tried for centuries to decipher
the Bible’s Seven Seals promising
the end of the world,' so FBI officials
said Thursday they’re not expecting
religious cult leader David Koresh to
do it.
“We have had so many stalling
tactics over such a long period of
time we are not that overly optimis
tic,” said FBI spokesman Richard
Swensen.
Koresh has been holed up with 95
followers inside a heavily armed
compound for 47 days. Now he says
he’s prepared to end the standoff.
But Koresh said he first must
complete a manuscript that deci
phered the Book of Revelations’
Seven Seals, and no one knows how
long that will take.
Balls of flame shooting
from Nigerian building
LAGOS, Nigeria A fire raged out
of control Thursday night at the
headquarters of Nigeria’s Defense
Ministry, and dozens of people were
trapped inside, state television
reported.
A live broadcast from the scene at 9
p.m. (4 p.m. EDT) showed balls of
flames shooting into the air from the
16-story Independence Building in
Lagos’ downtown Tafewa Balewa
Square.
State television said the fire
erupted on the top floor at 6 p.m.,
after most workers had left, but
trapped dozens of secretaries and
officials who were working late.
FDA: German company
blocking RU-486 tests
WASHINGTON FDA Commis
sioner David A. Kessler accused a
German drag company Thursday of
blocking its French subsidiary from
seeking to market the abortion pill
RU-486 in the United States.
Kessler said the problem was not
with the French company, Roussel-
Uclaf, but its parent, Hoechst AG,
and chairman, Wolfgang Hilger.
Kessler, who met with Roussel-
Uclaf s president in February, said,
“My understanding is Roussel
certainly is willing to bring this drug
to this country. It’s the German
parent.”
Pentagon OKs book
writing by personnel
WASHINGTON The Pentagon,
responding to a report that a top
civilian official rebuked an Army
major who wrote a book supporting
the ban on homosexuals in the
military, said Thursday that it
allowed military personnel to speak
out publicly.
“It is not our policy to muzzle
members of the armed forces in
terms of their ability to speak out, to
write articles, letters to the editor on
any and all subjects,” said Pentagon
spokesman Bob Hall.
The department policy only
requires that material carry a
disclaimer stating that the views are
those of the individual and not the
Defense Department or the U.S.
government. Hall said at a briefing.
