One Iranian aide linked the delay to alleged U.S. help for Iraq in its war with Iran. The United States has denied it is helping either side. ' In a statement made before the session moved behind closed doors, Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani condemned the Iraqi rocketing of the Iranian city of Dezful, where Tehran said at least 64 civilians were killed early Sunday by Soviet-made, surface-to-surface missiles. Directing his words to the foreign press, Rafsanjani said, "You should pay attention to these important events happening in the region with the incitement of the same superpower whose hostages will be discussed in the session today." The 181 deputies on hand for the session then privately debated the hostage issue for about two hours and 15 minutes before adjourning. They reportedly heard a report from a seven-member committee that drew up recommendations on the conditions that Iran should set for the release of the hostages. At the end of the meeting, members of Parliament contacted by telephone from The Associated Press office in Beirut, Lebanon, said a second secret session would be held on Monday. One deputy, Moosavi Tabrizi, said it might take a week or 10 days to decide the hostage issue, apparently dashing hopes the captives would be released very soon. Tabrizi said the hostage debate, scheduled to have been public, was done, privately for security reasons. Rafsoeijani's secretary, identified only as Mr. Zamani, repeated in a telephone interview Iranian claims that the United States was helping Iraq in the Persian Gulf war. He cited Washington's deployment of sophisticated radar planes in Saudi Arabia and U.S. arms deals with Jordan, which is aiding the Iraqi war effort. Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai earlier accused the N United States of passing on to Baghdad information gathered by the radar planes. He also claimed, "Iraq is moving in line with America." Asked if a perception that Washington was helping Iraq had influenced the deputies and prompted a delay, Zamani responded, "Yes, it is one of the reasons." Meanwhile, five Soviet-made missiles smashed into Iran's main army garrison at Dezful in southern Iran on Sunday, Iranian officials said. It was the second reported Iraqi missile attack in the 35-day Persian Gulf war. Iran's official news agency Pars said Iraq fired five surface-to-surface .Frog-7 missiles into residential areas of Dezful shortly after midnight. The Frog-7 has a range of about 40 miles, just short of the distance from Iraq's eastern border to the center of the city, which houses the largest air base in the Middle East. . - Ayatoiiah Ruhollah Khomeini's regime reported 180 Iranians were killed and 300 injured in the previous attack on Dezful three weeks ago. Iran's President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, who was named chairman of the cation's Supreme Defense Council Saturday, went to Dezful Sunday with Hojatoleslam Khameni, a religious leader who represents Khomeini on the defense council, Tehran radio, reported. Dezful is located on a key juncture of highway, railway and pipeline networks which connect Iran's southwestern oil producing regions with Tehran, the capital. ouucu to remew 77 condominium m-lmn By ANN SMALLWOOD ' SCuff WriCer The Oaks condominium conversion proposal, rejected by the Chapel Hill Town Council in a 5-3 vote Oct. 13, will be reconsidered at tonight's meeting, if council member Bill Thorpe has his way. If the council approves Thorpe's motion for a new vote, Thorpe, who voted against the conversion, and council member James C. Wallace, who was absent at the Oct. 13 meeting, are expected to reverse the council's denial of the permit modification. If the modification is granted, the 124 units of The Oaks will be sold as condominiums. Since Thorpe voted with Mayor Joe Nassif and council members Joe Straley, Joe Herzenberg and R.D, Smith against the condominium plan Oct. 13, he now has the power to call for reconsideration of the vote. Thorpe said he changed his mind when he heacd that lawyers for Greensboro's Branf Homes Inc., who made the- conversion request, had withdrawn a lawsuit challenging the town's authority to require a special use permit modification for their proposed change in ow ncrship. Special use permits ifaesideiaiiS Usually only "apply to str uctiiTaT" modifications by property owners. "It had always been my position that it (the proposed Oaks condominiums) . would be a proper use," Thorpe said. "But when the lawyers (for Brant Homes) came to us asking for a special use permit modification and at the same time had it in their minds that we were not going to permit a conversion and went ahead with a lawsuit, I had to vote against them. "I don't like that kind of persoanl pressure, that kind of threat. They should let us have a chance to make a decision first." The lawsuit was withdrawn from Orange County Superior Court Oct. 17. William H. Bayliss, attorney for Brant homes, declined to discuss his reasons for the change, however. The conversion has been opposed by Oaks tenants and UNC Student Government on the grounds that the loss of The Oaks apartments, on Burning Tree Drive and N.C. 54 East, would be a threat to the transient University community trying to find housing in the already-tight Chapel Hill rental market. Student Government will be represented at tonight's meeting by 4i U7'C cutsfds Knebscker Lsmenca Teylsr (00) cccks CCU's quarterback Greg Ctcwcrt ...Taylor and his defensive teammates held ECU to 1 25 yards total offense in 31-3 win DX HScmi Shurpe event m m jrnm t . Finally, it's time to think about Oklahoma Bill Thorpe Town Affairs Director Susan Strayhorn. "We have been meeting to decide what more we can do about this (conversion proposal)," Strayhorn said Sunday, "but I doubt'if the council will allow us to make a statement Monday night." Council member Bev Kawalec, who favors the conversion, prevent-! an Oaks resident from speaking agair.-t the proposal at the Oct. 13 meeting. Student Government sent letters of thanks to the five council members who voted to deny the conversion Oct. 13, Strayhorn said. "Now we can only wait," she said. By BILL FIELDS Sports Editor V; Since late August, when the Tar Heel f ootbill UanY sweiied and panted through preseason practice, everyone, from the bank teller to the paper boy, has been thinking about the first Saturday1 in November and Carolina's date with Oklahoma. After the last Saturday of October which was a miserable, chilly day complete with misty rain and blustery windsand an easy 31-3 win over East Carolina in Kenan Stadium, the future, as George Allen said, is now. Carolina's seventh straight victory, seen by 48,100 admirable fans, was orchestrated in the same fashion as the first six: Give' the ball to Amos Lawrence and Kelvin Bryant and let them run with it. Let their teammates on the offensive line make room for them. Let their friends on the UNC defense cause the opposition's hearts to flutter and eyes to roll with hard-hitting tackles. To Carolina coach Dick Crum, who has downplayed the OU game until now, the victory over the Pirates was proof of good preparation on his team's part. "Our kids did a masterful job of getting ready to play," he said. "It was tough to get ready because some people were looking down the road. There was more written in the papers this week about Oklahoma than East Carolina." The Pirates, who tied the Tat Heels 24-24 in Chapel Hill last season, pointed at the game with Carolina as their most important of the season. The ECU-UNC series began in 1972, and the eighth and final meeting will come next September at Kenan with the Tar Heels holding a '5-1-1 series edge. "They tied us last year, and we didn't want it to be close," Carolina defensive tackle Donnell Thompson said. "We just wanted them to know they were outclassed." Behind the running of Lawrence, who finished with 138 yards, Carolina drove 79 yards in 10 plays after the opening kickoff. Lawrence dove over from the one after carrying for 4 1 yards on the previous phy; ' . Lawrence ran the ball eight times that drive, fullback Billy Johnson two; a strategy that continued throughout because of the soggy field conditions and dropped passes by Tar Heel receivers. Carolina quarterback. Rod Elkins was 4-of-8 or 43 yards and one touchdown, a 20-yard completion to split end Jon Richardson in the second quarter which gave UNC a 14-3 lead going into halftime. "We didn't throw as much as we had planned," Crum said. "We had four balls dropped and then didn't have to throw as the game progressed." Elkins, a sophomore from Greensboro, was, like most of his teammates, being asked about the Oklahoma game in the warm Carolina locker room. "I'm really excited about it," he said. "We're going out there to win, not to have in mind just giving them a good game." The Sooners, who defeated Iowa State 42-7 Saturday to go 4-2 for the year, may be the underdog in this week's game but Elkins, whose season has resembled a pleasant dream, said Carolina couldn't afford to be much short of perfection against OU. "I'm so thrilled that we're 7-0 right now, but we can't stop now. We can't get overjoyed now. I feci good about cur defense continuing to play like they have. We've got to execute on offense. I'm not saying we have to peak, but we just have to play good, solid football."
