In dealing Reagan one of the most dramatic foreign policy setbacks of his presidency, and the first substan tive override of a Reagan veto, the Senate rebuffed administration pleas that the punitive economic sanctions would prove most harmful to South Africa's blacks. Five previous Rea gan vetoes, on lesser issues, had been retrieved. Despite fierce lobbying by Reagan and other White House officials, and other members of the Senate sup portive of the administration's policy, the final vote showed the president falling 13 votes short of the 34 needed to sustain the veto. Forty-seven Democrats and 31 Republicans voted to override Rea gan, while 21 GOP lawmakers voted to back Reagan. Sen.

In a statement issued from the P olic e clias e r o tob er y susp e ct through UNC residence halls From staff reports An unidentified man, who may have been mistakenly released by Durham County officials, was chased through several campus residence halls Thursday morning. No one was hurt, but the man was still at large Thursday night. Police believe the man to be James Alexander Deese, of 16B Wallace Lane in Chesterfield, N.J., who has outstanding bonds in Orange County, University Police Sgt. Robert Porreca said. Deese was formerly a night stu dent at UNC. He had been taken from the Durham County jail to attend his hearing, Porreca said, and he was released when his Durham County bond was settled. 1 Durham County "accidentally released" Deese not realizing that Orange County had also set bonds for him, Porreca said. A warrant has been issued for Deese's arrest on felony possession of stolen property charges, Porreca Eclipse visible today By TERI KRIEGER Staff Writer Ancient cultures believed the sun was dying during a solar eclipse, but Tar Heels can view this phenomenon without such superstition today from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. M.S. Davis, professor of astronomy, said the solar eclipse is one of the great sights of nature. It incited fear and awe in ancient sun worshippers. Believing a big dog was eating the sun, the American Indians would beat their dogs until they howled and the eclipse ended. The Indians thought the big dog in the sky would have mercy on his little brothers on earth and thus, spit out the sun. Astronomy Professor Wayne A. Christiansen said, "Solar eclipses have been used by people for various nefarious purposes." I never passes White House, Reagan said despite his objections to the measure, "Our administration will, nevertheless, implement the law. It must be recognized, however, that this will not solve the serious problems that plague that country." Vice President George Bush, presiding over the Senate, announced that the Senate's sanc tions measure had passed, "the objections of the president of the United States notwithstanding." The House had voted 313-83 Monday to override Reagan's veto. While the newly enacted sanctions stop short of ordering outright American disinvestment and do not call for a complete trade embargo, they do take several significant steps intended to pressure and convince the Pretoria government to disman tle its apartheid system of racial segregation. As a first step, the legislation bans new investment and new bank loans. It also bars the importation into the United States of South African steel, iron, coal, uranium, agricultu ral products, food, arms, ammuni tion and military vehicles. And it transfers the South African sugar See WASHINGTON page 3 said. A man fitting Deese's description was first seen on campus in Davis Library at 9 a.m. Thursday, accord ing to University police records. Police officers chased him from Davis to Connor, Winston, Joyner and Graham residence halls, but the man escaped at Graham Residence Hall. According to reports, the man pointed his finger at a housekeeper in Connor and told her not to call anybody. He was later seen hiding behind a chair in the lobby. A UNC sophomore, who asked to remain anonymous for her safety, said she saw plain-clothes policemen run into Joyner yelling, "Stop, police," and two police cars quickly turn around on Raleigh Road around 9:30 a.m. Monday. The suspect was last seen in the lower quad area near Graham around 10 a.m. Thursday, Porreca said.

The person also passed on threats to individual members of both UNC and Duke University campus police, Porreca said. "People say things sometimes for effect," Porreca said. Police could not confirm the man had a gun. This year, the following bonds were set for Deese, according to the Chapel Hill clerk of court's office: $2,500 for misdemeanor larceny; $200,000 for possession of stolen property and resisting arrest; $ 1 5,000 for possession of stolen property; $1,000 for breaking and entering and larceny; and $10,000 for stolen property. A spokeswoman for the clerk of court said those bonds still held and that Deese had to release his passport and stay in North Carolina until they were met.

See related story on UNC-Tech rematch sees tables famed By JAMES SUROWIECKI Assistant Sports Editor Last year's Georgia Tech-UNC game pitted two programs going in opposite directions. The Tar Heels were on their way down, toppling to a 5-6 record at the end of the year. The Yellow Jackets, led by their Black Watch defense, were a rising force in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence, and eventually finished the year at 9-2-1. Tech demolished UNC, 31-0. The Tar Heels had just 129 yards of total offense in their worst performance of the year. How things have changed. In some respects, last year's game is no longer relevant.

Andresen and a dozen other guests spoke as part of a "Growth Shapers Conference" at Hotel Europa Thurs day morning to discuss growth in Chapel Hill and Orange County. The Public Private Partnership of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce sponsored the confer ence. Its representatives, from local governing boards, businesses and the University, meet periodically to discuss transportation and parking, housing and, area growth. In a panel discussion on "Public Private Plans and Actions," Andresen emphasized the impor tance of a collaboration between the council and the private sector in developing growth objectives for the town. "We have a design task force to develop design standards, which consists of public officials and the private sector working together," Andresen said. back.

UNC goes in with a record of 2-0-1, coming off a hard-fought tie with Florida State. A victory against Tech may catapult UNC into the Top 20. For the moment, the skies are blue and the future is bright in Chapel Hill. It isn't quite as pretty in Atlanta. Tech is 1-1-1, including a tie against Division I-AA Furman. Last week, Clemson cleaned the Yellow Jackets' clocks to the tune of 27-3, rolling oyer them with ease. The Tigers pounded the ball right up the middle, relying on a power running game to tear the heart from the paltry remnants of the Black Watch.

Only three starters remain from last year's defense, and the Yellow Jackets have See GEORGIA TECH page 8 Roger Waldon, town planning director, said that development pressures now facing this area are affecting the entire Triangle. "We do not have the luxury in Chapel Hill of planning by ourselves, for ourselves," Waldon said. The cost of growth should be distributed between the public and private sector, he said. "There is a tendency to say that newcomers those who are directly benefitting should pay." He said the Planning Board will focus on three main issues this year: the deteriorating community appear ance, the increase in traffic conges tion and the need for affordable housing. Whitfield Morrow Jr., president of Fraser, Morrow, Daniels & Co., a developing firm from Research Triangle Park, said, "The use and development of land (in the Chapel Hill area) is the most critical issue to everyone." Morrow defended the Rosemary Square project, a $19 million retail parking hotel complex to be con structed by that company.
