2The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, November 13, 1984 Sniper shoots The Associated Prevs EUGENE. Ore. A sniper armed with two high-powered rifles opened fire at the University of Oregon's stadium yesterday, wounding a student and killing a former Olympic athlete before fatally shooting himself, police said. The man, identified by police as University of Oregon student Michael E. Feher, 19, of Everett, Wash., wore combat fatigues and had blackened his face. He fired so many shots during the 3 '2-hour siege at Autzen Stadium that officers could not count them, said police Sgt. Eric Mellgren. Feher's body was found under a section of seats at the stadium. Mellgren said police fired no shots during the seige. On-campus By KATHY NANNEY Staff Writer After some initial problems, on campus job interviews for graduating seniors are going very well, said Marcia Harris, director of University Career Planning and Placement Service. "We're here not only to help students prepare for their job interviews, but to provide feedback," Harris said. "The feedback is usually good, but this year some students had become a bit non chalant about preparing for their interviews." UCPPS might have been partially responsible for this problem, Harris said. There have been a large number of interviewers coming to UNC this year, and the planning and placement office has been very optimistic and encouraging. As a result, students may have underestimated the importance of the interviewing process and the com petitive nature of the job market, she said. "There is still a great deal of com petition for job positions," Harris said. UCPPS received complaints that some students were not dressed profes sionally, were not asking insightful questions and knew little about the companies they were interviewing with. seu WWII JKSWtMW WSfflkiiifpSI'it!'" tS.j,i'iJi .n ll v. -:-V - -It-- -t ' 5 1 : " " 1H 4 -pifjif'f.

He then shot and killed a former Olympic athlete on a nearby bike path before shooting himself shortly after noon, said police Sgt. Tim McCarthy. Chris S. Brathwaite, of Eugene, who had competed for his native country, Trinidad, as a sprinter in the 1976 and 1980 Olympic Games, was found dead near the stadium about 1 1 a.m., police said. Brathwaite graduated from the Uni versity of Oregon in 1976 and had been running for the Oregon International Track Club. The wrestler, identified as Rick O'Shea, 22, was taken to Sacred Heart General Hospital, where he was in stable interviews Harris responded by sending a letter to interviewing seniors, giving the employ ers' complaints and listing services which were available to help improve interviewing techniques. "We were trying to pass on tips rather than criticize," Harris said. "I want to stress that the letter did not apply to everyone. Many students are interview ing very well." There has been little negative response to the letter, and student optimism still appears very high, Harris said. Students are aware that the job market is competitive, but they know that jobs are available and are optimistic Flu vaccinations not needed for all students By KEVIN SULLIVAN Staff Writer Flu vaccinations are now available, although most college students do not need the shots, said the chief of the state Division of Health Services' epidemi ology branch. "College students do not make excellent candidates for the flu vacci nations," Dr. J. Newton MacCormack said. "The vaccinations are for people who stand to lose a lot by contracting the flu. Generally, that includes older folks, people with heart problems, diabetes or chronic kidney disease." The flu, or influenza, is a contagious disease that attacks the respiratory tract and lowers the body's resistance to infections such as pneumonia, which can lead to death, particularly in cases with previous health problems, Mac Cormack said.

Police blocked entrances to the 40,000-seat stadium and nearby path after the sniper reportedly was seen about 8:30 a.m., but Mellgren said Brathwaite apparently slipped through the barricade. "There are more places to get in than we have police officers," he said. Feher walked through the stadium weight room about 9 a.m. carrying two rifles, police said.

"They're always looking for good people," he said. "People arent hiring large numbers, but they are hiring. You have to sell yourself to the interviewer." "If there was a problem, I'm glad they sent it (the letter), said Jenny Holden, a senior speech communications major from Henderson. "IVe seen a little complacency among students who are graduating in May, but IVe also seen a lot who have taken interviewing seriously." "The advantage of receiving a flu vaccination is that it usually protects from the flu," he said. "The disadvan tages (of the vaccination) are the cost and the fact that they don't make enough for everybody." Based on reports from 10 college campuses in North Carolina, including UNC, the peak flu season hits around late January, MacCormack said. A total of 557 cases were reported by that time last winter, while 111 cases were reported during the peak week in 1983. MacCormack said there were 22 cases reported from the colleges the first week of this month.. The figures can be misleading, how ever, because MacCormack said people sometimes mistake aching and nausea over a 24-hour period as the flu. Flu vaccinations will be available at Student Health Service.

This and the shortage of higher-income housing has caused an increase in development of luxury apartments and condominiums. Martin said an acre of land within the Chapel Hill school district costs between $8,000 and $10,000, which is too expensive to develop cheaply. "Chapel Hill is really going to open up to people not connected to the University once 1-40 opens," Martin said. "If someone wants to bay a nice house in Chapel Hill, then they basically have to look in the historic district." Owners of houses in the historic district rarely sell them. Allenton Realty, which Martin represents, recently announced the planned construction of what will be Chapel Hill's most luxurious condominium complex, The Gables. These condominiums will feature bay windows, plush carpet, fireplaces, underground parking, a pool, a securitv svstem and a beautiful landscape.
