By DWIGHT MARTIN
Staff Writer
No arrest has been made in con
nection with the May 20 sexual
assault of a UNC student, but a
Chapel Hill Police Department
investigation is still in progress.
On that date, an assailant forcibly
entered a UNC School of Law
student's apartment, sexually
assaulted her and burglarized the
apartment, Lt. Authur Summey,
Chapel Hill Police, said. The assai
lant was armed with a knife.
Police prepared a composite
sketch of the assailant using the
victim's description. The assailant is
a white male between 25 and 30 years
old, 5 feet 7 inches tall with a slender
to medium build and muscular arms.
At the time of the assault, he was
wearing a navy LaCoste shirt, blue
jeans, and running shoes.
The assailant was described as
having:

Senate claims
N.C. was first
to fly
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH The Senate last
week unanimously approved and
sent to the House a resolution
saying Connecticut was flying in
the face of history by claiming the
first manned flight.
The Connecticut Legislature and
governor contend that Gustave
Whitehead of Bridgeport, Conn.,
made the first powered flight two
years before Orville and Wilbur
Wright flew from Kitty Hawk in
1903.
North Carolina officials say
historians, including those at the
Smithsonian Institute in Washing
ton, D.C., have refused to authen
ticate the Connecticut claim.
"I think it's a lot of fun what
Connecticut attempts to do
because they can't do it in a serious
vein, said the bill's sponsor, Sen.
Marc Basnight, D Dare. "It keeps
communications going between the
two states."
Basnight said photographs and
eyewitnesses proved that the
Wright brothers had made the first
successful flight.
Lowell Perry, the mayor of Kill
Devil Hills, which calls itself "the
birth place of aviation," praised.
B as night's efforts. "We hope that
this will clarify this situation once
and for all," Perry said. "I under
stand that this surfaces about once
every three years."
Gray-blue eyes.
Dirty-blond, curly hair that is
shoulder length in the back.
A mustache and acne scars.
When asked in a recent interview
if any new evidence had surfaced in
addition to the description, Summey
said, "Nothing good."
He said -several people seem to
have seen the assailant but police do
not know if the sketch has greatly
contributed to the success of the
investigation.
Two suspects who fit the descrip
tion were ruled out by the victim,
Summey said. ,
Copies of the composite sketch and
a description of the assailant are
posted in the law school. Pat Waller,
law school dean of student affairs,
said administrators asked themselves
if the copies would "generate more
misinformation" than useful infor
mation before deciding to post the
sketches.
"It (seeing the sketches) does make
people more aware, more cautious,"
she added.
Beverly Cutter, law school assist
ant dean, said the campus escort
service does not provide effective
protection for law or graduate

campus.
The May assault is "something we
have been very concerned with," she
added.
When asked if University students
were more likely to be sexually
assaulted than other members of the
local population, Summey said,
"Chances are pretty good it's going
to be a student."
Locally there are more females in
the 17 to 24 age category than any
other, he said. "Simple numbers"
make students the most likely
victims.
"There are an equal number of
(Chapel Hill area residents likely to
commit sexual assault) than these
that come from the outside," he
added.
Chapel Hill Police are currently
investigating another sexual assault
involving a University graduate
student, Summey said. The two cases
are not related, he added.
