A UNC graduate student was kid
napped at knife-point Saturday night
from the Morehead Planetarium park
ing lot and police are still combing the
area in search of the woman and her
abductor.
Sharon Stewart, 23, of Kingswood
Apartments, was abducted about 11
p.m. Saturday by . a black male after
she and a friend walked from Franklin
Street to her car, Chapel Hill police saiu.
Police said Stewart and a female
companion had gone to a movie at The
Ram Triple Theatre in the rear of
NCNB Plaza. After the movie, the two
women walked east on Franklin Street
to the Morehead Planetarium where
Stewart's car was parked.
As Stewart opened the car door, a
man approached them and displayed a
knife that was 5-6 inches long. He then
instructed them to get into the car and
drive.
They drove to Raleigh Street, turned
right onto Cameron Avenue, and then
pulled into the parking lot near Swain
Hall, off of Cameron Avenue. After
they pulled into the lot, the man
handcuffed Stewart and told the other
woman to drive Stewart's car away and
to not to look back.
The woman, whose identity the police
are not releasing, drove about half a
block before she flagged down a Chapel

Hill policeman. She was not injured.
The woman last saw Stewart and the
assailant heading north on foot toward
Franklin Street, They have not been
seen or heard from since, police said.
Stewart is described as a white, 5-foot-4
female, weighing about 117
pounds. She has hazel eyes and dark
brown, shoulder-length hair with blond
streaks on both sides.
Chapel Hill Police Captain Ralph
Pendergraph said she had been last seen
Police composite of suspect
wearing a cotton, off-white sweater, a
white sweat shirt jacket and a black
miniskirt: She was also wearing white,
flat shoes, police said.
Stewart's car is a 1979 tan and yellow
Buick Regal with Ohio license plates
numbered GDA-447. ... . .
The suspect is described as a black
male in his early 20s, between 5-foot-6
and 5-feet-7, with a medium build and
a dark complexion with no facial hair.
His hair is about 1-inch long.
He was wearing dark clothing and
a maroon, beret-type hat.
Pendergraph said that the University
police, Chapel Hill police and the State
Bureau of Investigation were cooper
ating to find the pair but that no leads
or evidence have been found.
The women apparently did not know
the man, Pendergraph said, and police
have not established a motive in the
case.
No reward has been offered in the
case, Pendergraph said.
Police are searching the area and
questioning people who might have
been around when the incident
occurred, he said.
Pendergraph said police were not
sure why Stewart was the one kid
napped, but they are speculating that
the suspect felt that he could better
control the situation if there was only
one person.
Pendergraph said the only advice he
could offer people was to be careful
about people approaching them from
behind or from the front as they are
walking.
"It is a scary situation. I cant say
anything to the contrary," he said.
People with information about the
whereabouts of Stewart or with infor
mation about the incident are asked to
contact the Chapel Hill police at 968
2760 or the University police at 962-8100.

Fraternity housing was among the
topics discussed at the Board of
Trustees meeting Friday as Maurice
J. Koury, chairman of the Student
Affairs Committee, called the situa
tion extremely bad and said action
needed to be taken.
The Student Affairs Committee
decided this summer to meet with
students and fraternity corporate
heads this fall to develop guidelines
for the renovation and maintenance
of some of the fraternity houses.
Earlier this month, members of the
committee met with fraternity repre
sentatives to tour the University's
fraternity housing situation.
Koury said he hoped voluntary
safety and health rules for the
fraternity houses would be in place
by January.
Once the renovations are com
pleted, Koury said, his committee
will investigate the possibility of
placing housemothers in the frater
nities to ensure that the renovations
were maintained.
Some of the fraternities already
are undergoing renovations, Koury
said.
Also at Friday's meeting, the BOT
unanimously elected J. Clint Newton
Jr., a Shelby textile and insurance
executive, chairman for the 1985-86
academic school year.
Newton, 63, called for changes in
the committee structure of the BOT
that would include what he called
the three most important areas of
the University: the faculty, the
students and the alumni association.
Newton appointed Student Body
President and BOT member Patricia
Wallace as chairwoman of the
admissions committee. Wallace is
the first student to head a trustee
committee, Newton said.
In addition, Newton said he would
form a traffic subcommittee of the
BOT's real-property committee to
investigate the traffic problems in
and around the University. The
committee will be headed by Farris
W. Womack, chancellor for business
and financei and will consist of eight
to 10 members, including two
trustees.
Newton replaces George R. Rags
dale of Raleigh as chairman. '
In other business, the BOT
unanimously elected S. Bobo Tanner
III of Rutherfordton as vice chair
man and Elizabeth "Pepper" Dowd .
of Charlotte as secretary. All officers
were elected by acclimation, mean
ing a formal vote was deemed
unnecessary.
, Four new members were sworn in.
They were: Richard H. Jenrette, a
New York investment banker; Wil
liam Darity, dean of School of
Health Sciences at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst; John W.
Pope, a Raleigh businessman; and
Barbara S. Perry, a Kinston lawyer.
The new members replace New
man A. Townsend Jr. and Walter
S. Tucker, who were ineligible for
re-election, and Felix Harvey, who
decided not to run again. The fourth .
vacancy was created by the death of
Bowman Gray III in Marchi
Pope and Perry were nominated
by Gov. Jim Martin. Jenrette and
Darity were appointed by the Board
of Governors.
Tanner and Koury were reap
pointed to the board Friday. The
new elections and appointments
brought the BOT to its 13-member
capacity.

Student Government imght never be
" able to get repayment of a $900 loan
allegedly made to Phi Delta Chi
fraternity from the. Campus Governing
Council in 1976, Student Body Treas
urer Ryke Longest said.
Records in the treasurer's office show
no payment has ever been made on the
loan, Longest said, but the fraternity
might not have to pay . because there
is no record of Phi Delta Chi ever
receiving the money.
"As far as I could find in the
treasurer's office . . . , I couldn't find
a canceled check of any kind," he said.
Records from past years sometimes are
incomplete and each treasurer has a
different way of keeping records, he
added.
Past Student Body Treasurer Allen
Roertson discovered the overdue loan
last spring. He contacted the fraternity,
which asked for documentation on the
loan since its own records don't show
that the loan was ever received.
"The documentation they needed was
impossible to get to them," Longest
said.
The loan was approved almost nine
years ago, but the Student Activities
Funds Office, which handles the
accounting tor all student organiza
tions, only keeps records for the last
, five years-.... .,.-..
w" Without proof of the loan, the
fraternity would not be obligated to
repay it, Longest said.
Phi Delta Chi Treasurer Tom Ras
berry has been going through the
fraternity's records to find out if it
received the money. "At this point, we're
searching our records,, and we haven't
come up with anything yet," Rasberry
said.
Longest said there was a possibility
the fraternity never received the money.
"Lots of times money is allocated and
people don't bother to use it," he said.
"A check can get lost in the shuffle, get
lost in somebody's papers."
The only records of the loan are the
bill passed by the CGC in November
1976 and records in the treasurer's office
that show the loan was not repaid.
According to the CGC bill,. a $900
loan was authorized so the fraternity
members could paint their house. The
loan was to be repaid in $150 instal
lments beginning in the spring of 1977
and ending in the fall of 1979.
The officers of Phi Delta Chi and the
student body treasurer also were to
enter into a legally binding contract
guaranteeing repayment, but Longest

The North Carolina football team
will pass more this year and the result
should be an exciting season, coach
Dick Crum said at a Kenan Fieldhouse
press conference Friday.
Asked if his Tar Heels would go to
the air more this year, Crum said, "The
answer is yes. We've worked on the
passing game a lot this spring. We have

North Carolina's string of 12 straight
seasons with at least one Tar Heel
rusher gaining 1,000 yards was over.
"The way college football is going, you
either play wishbone or you throw the
ball," he said. "If we can have a good
football team without any 1,000-yard
rushers, that's fine with me."
But he wouldn't count out the
possibility of UNC junior tailback

a good corps of receivers to catch and
run with the ball."
Standing before a crowd of about 50
sportswriters in the Ram's Club Room,
Crum nestled a Diet Coke in his hands
and fielded questions as part of Oper
ation Football in the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
Partially because of some NCAA rule
changes, Crum said he thought there
would be more high-scoring games this
season. "There have been a lot of
changes in the rules to really help the
offense," Crum said. "I think rule-wise,
the offense has the advantage. The fans
want to see a high-scoring game."
William Humes gaining 1,000. "Just
about every start he's had, he's had 100
yards," Crum said. "The passing game
will enhance what he can do."
There is a terrific battle going on in
practice for the fullback spot, Crum
said. Sophomore Brad Lopp gained 150
yards last season as a back-up to Eddie
Colson, averaging 4.7 yards per carry.
But sophomore Norman Becton will
run him hard for the starting job, he
added.
"Lopp has a slight edge," Crum said.
"He knows the position and has some
game experience there."
Dick Crum
Crum added that Becton would play
a lot at fullback, whether he starts or
not. ;
Defensively, Crum mentioned red
shirt freshman Antonio Goss, a former
running back, as a potential starter at
the ram position, which is essentially
an extra strong safety in Cram's new
eight-man front defense. "Tony Goss
could be the starter by opening day,"
he said. "With Humes and (Brad)
Sullivan at tailback, we felt Tony was
good enough he could contribute
someplace else."
Team officials wont know the play
ing status of injured sophomore quar
terback Mark Maye for 1986 until this
spring, Crum said, adding that Maye
can only stretch his arm about half-way
up his back.

The major task the Campus Governing Council has to
tackle this semester is redistricting, CGC Speaker Wyatt Closs
said.
"It's really just an effort to try to balance the proportion"
of constituents to representatives in each district, he said.
The districts were redrawn temporarily last spring before
campus elections. But Closs said the timing of that
redistricting made CGC members running for reelection too
concerned with maintaining their own districts and interests.
By redrawing the districts this fall, he said he hoped to avoid
a lot of those problems. X
Students in Old East and Old West dormitories complained
last semester that their voting power was wiped out by being
in the same district as Granville Towers, which had a much
greater number of students.
Closs said it was also difficult to be sure off-campus
students were all represented equally since no one knows
how many students live in each off-campus district. An effort
is being made to determine that, he said, but his own idea
is to have all off-campus representatives elected on an at
large basis.
To make the new districts fair, it may be necessary to
decrease the size of each district, which would increase the
size of the CGC, Closs said.
Besides redistricting, there are many things Closs said he
wanted the CGC to accomplish, but first he wanted to find
out what other CGC members wanted to do.
"For myself, I have about 30 different bills and resolutions
... but first I want to see what the other members have
in mind," he said.
Among his own goals for the CGC, Closs said he wanted
to put renewal of ARA's food service contract on a student
referendum. He also wanted the mandatory meal plan on
referendum for the next five years.
He said he hoped the CGC also would look at campus
election laws.
"Last year's election chairman, Ed (Fountain), expressed
a concern about negative campaigning," he said.
During last spring's campus elections, some people ran
campaigns against specific candidates rather than for any
candidate. Such campaigns are not covered by election laws,
Closs said, so there is no spending limit on them as there
is on other campaigns.
There may be little the CGC can do until it determines
how much control it can exert within the bounds of the
First Amendment, he added.
The CGC will evaluate the new budget process, which
Closs helped create, used last spring. Closs said he sent surveys
to organizations that went through the budget process and
to CGC members so hell could pinpoint the major problems
with the process and get ideas of how to fix them.
One of Closs's goals that arose partly out of last year's
budget process will be defining "political" to determine
whether a group is eligible to receive student funds, he said.
The Student Constitution prohibits the use of student funds
for groups, activities or events of a political or religious
nature. . .
"It would be my hope that we could get a bi-partisan
group of CGC members and students" to come up with
a definition everyone could agree on, he said. Attempts had
been made in the past to establish a definition of political,
"but people would say, 'Oh, the liberals made that definition,'
or, 'The conservatives made that definition,' " he said.
Closs said he would like to see a lot of changes made
in the role of CGC speaker, including the establishment of
a scholarship comparable to what other campus leaders, such
as the student body president and the student body treasurer,
received.
A greater change he said he would like to see would be
to choose the speaker before campus elections. The speaker
then would not have to stand for reelection, and, in effect,
would be an at-large representative of the whole student
body, he said.
. "I represent Scott Residence College, because that's where
I live, but I also feel I have to represent the whole campus,"
Closs said. .
The CGC also will examine many laws governing the
operation of Student Government.
The laws that will be looked at are ones that CGC members
have complained about but never got changed.
