A recent rash of local pedestrian
robberies has authorities suggesting
ways for students to make themselves
less prone to attack.
Four pedestrians have been robbed
in October, but arrests have been
made in only one case.
Capt. Ralph Pendergraph of the
Chapel Hill Police Department said
there has been an unusually high
number of incidents this month, but
the high crime rate is not entirely
surprising.
"I hate to sound pessimistic, but
we have been expecting an increase
in street crimes in Chapel Hill,"
Pendergraph said.
Although the police have tried to
prevent it, the increasing presence of
nonresidents in Chapel Hill makes
street crime more likely, he said.
Police have made no connection
between any of the four crimes so far,
he said.
B On Oct. 18, Jeffrey Ambrister of
Chapel Hill was robbed of his jacket
and $150 in cash on West Cameron
Avenue. Two people approached
Ambrister from behind and placed a
sharp object at his back, according
to the police report.
B On Oct. 13, Ruth Baldwin, a
UNC School of Public Health stu
dent from Durham, was robbed of
her purse on Vance Street. According
to a police report, a black male jogged
up behind Baldwin, shoved her to the
ground and took her purse.
In connection with the robbery,
Ernest Marvin Josey and Lisa
Rebecca Josey were arrested Oct. 16
and charged with common law
robbery and possession of stolen
property.
Lisa Rebecca Josey was also
charged with two counts of uttering,
which involves tendering a credit card
under false pretenses.

Students walking home alone after '
late nights in the library may notice
four students clad in orange vests
patrolling campus.
The students are part of the newly
organized student patrol that began
operation Thursday, Oct. 8.
The patrollers walk around the
campus from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. each
night, and report illegal activities to
campus police officers.
The students watch parking lots,
bike racks, monument areas such as
the Old Well, the libraries, the
arboretum and campus residence
halls, especially the women's, said
sophomore Kurt Sowers, student
supervisor.
The patrol is sponsored by Student
Government and campus police.
Patrollers are paid $3.50 to $4 an hour
for their work.
"We're looking out for anything
suspicious," he said.
Only four patrollers are working
at this point, according to Officer
Billy Hilliard of University police, but
organizers plan to hire five more
students by the end of October.
"They're doing very well," Hilliard

Ashley Mattison, a junior from Marietta, Ga., decided to take time
out Thursday afternoon to blow bubbles in front of Wilson Library.

Thursday, but he told the UNC News
Bureau: "It is always satisfying when
a school is recognized for excellence
by its peers. We're gratified to be
among this distinguished group of
schools."
In the survey, U.S. News and
World Report asked deans from 232
business schools to choose the top 10
graduate business schools. All the
schools are either nationally accre
roatffollefs work
"It's been going along
really well. We've
gotten a lot of positive
comments from
students about the
patrol. They're seeing
us, and they know
we're out here to help
them. " Kurt Sowers
said. "We're proud of them."
Hilliard emphasized the patrol's
value as a learning experience for the
participants. "We want to get them
familiar with what we do, and
hopefully get them interested in law
enforcement."
Sowers said the patrol is making
progress. "It's been going along really
well," he said. "WeVe gotten a lot of
positive comments from students
about the patrol. They're seeing us,
and they know we're out here to help
them."

dited or nationally recognized for
excellence.
About 57 percent of those surveyed
responded, including Rizzo, UNC's
dean.
The deans selected schools based
on quality of their faculty, strength
of their curriculum and how well they
prepare students professionally.
UNC's business school was ranked
in the top 10 by 16.8 percent of the
respondents.
"UNC has an excellent faculty, and
Mike Thigpen, another patroller,
said he enjoys the work.
Thigpen, a pre-medical student,
said that although law enforcement
is not in his career plans, he has
always had a strong interest in it. "My
father is the former director of a i
police academy in Macon, Ga., and
my brother is a county deputy. IVe
just always been around it."
During their first week on the job,
the patrollers found several vehicles
being broken into, recovered a stolen
bike in the woods, broke up parties
in the baseball stadium and the
arboretum, and caught two people
trying to steal a tennis net from the
courts near Cobb Residence Hall.
"Other than that, things have been
kind of quiet," Thigpen said.
Students proposed forming the
patrol in response to concern about
campus safety, but University police
officers took over organization of the
patrol.
Student Government allocated
money to buy radios, jackets shirt and
flashlights for the patrol.
Funding for patrollers' salaries will
come from the Department of Uni
versity Housing, University police
and the Traffic and Parking Office.

The eight tennis courts at Hinton
James will not be used for parking
spaces, a committee of students and
administrators decided at a meeting
this week.
The group was formed this spring
in response to a University proposal
that would have allowed people who
donated money to the Smith Center
to park on the tennis courts during
home basketball games.
"There won't be any parking
spaces," Moyer Smith, associate
athletic director of the Educational
Foundation, or Ram's Club, said
Thursday. "We got the message that
it just was not acceptable from the
student standpoint."

About $100 worth of marijuana
was stolen from a University research
lab on Monday, according to UNC
officials and University police.
Sgt. Ned Comar of University
- police said Thursday that the man
juana was stolen from a freezer in
a South Campus research lab. He said
he would not reveal any details on
the case because of the possibility of
another theft.
Other University police officers
also said they would not comment
further on the case, since it is still
under investigation.
The stolen drugs were being used
in an experiment on several UNC
they have worked hard to make the
MBA program distinctive for its
integrated approach to management
decisions and for the collegiality that
is possible because of its relatively
small size," Rizzo said.
In the survey, Stanford University's
graduate business school was ranked
first, since it was chosen by 86.3
percent of the deans. The business
schools at Harvard and the University
of Pennsylvania were ranked second
and third.

The committee met Wednesday to
determine if the surface of the courts
could be used for limited parking on
game days and still serve as tennis
courts, said Paul Hoolahan, athletic
fitness director.
Carol Geer, Carolina Athletic
Association president, said some
Smith Center donors who were
promised parking spaces on the
courts have not received them. The
Ram's Club saw using the tennis
courts as a possible solution to the
problem, she said.
But students' negative reaction to
the proposal helped convince officials
otherwise, Geer said.
"They realize that those courts are
widely used, and I dont think they
have any desire to take them away,"
student volunteers, who are being
paid to use the drugs so researchers
can monitor the combined effects of
marijuana and alcohol.
Dr. Mario Perez-Reyes, who is
conducting the research, said the
marijuana was stolen from his lab.
He estimated the value of the stolen
drugs at about $100.
Perez-Reyes blamed the theft on
Friday's Daily Tar Heel article about
his research, as well as subsequent
articles that appeared in other North
Carolina newspapers.
"The publicity that we received in
the newspaper is the reason that they
(the thieves) came and broke in,"
Perez-Reyes said.

Duke University's business school
was selected by 16 percent of the
deans, placing it 18th, right behind
UNC. The school at the University
of Chicago was listed 5th, receiving
the highest rating for a public
university.
Although this is the first graduate
business school survey conducted by
U.S. News and World Report, other
surveys have listed UNC's business
school in the top 20 for the past
decade.

Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of Student Affairs, said that
while it is possible to use the courts
as a parking lot, it is not advisable.
"It could be used for parking, but
it could decrease the competitive
value of the courts," Boulton said.
"We would end up with neither a
good tennis court nor a good parking
lot."
Van Sumner, president of Van
Sumner, Inc., a company in Virginia
that builds tennis courts, said the
material the courts are made of is too
soft to withstand the twisting and
turning of wheels, and not strong
enough to support the weight of cars.

"The institute (of drug abuse) will
provide more drugs for me," he said.
"That's not a problem."
The person who broke into the lab
was looking for marijuana only,

"They came and broke in looking
for the drugs," he said. "We have a
lot of expensive lab equipment "that
didn't take anything else."
Security around the lab is being
increased because of the break-in,
Perez-Reyes said.
"We are afraid that this might
happen again," he said.
In the Cartter Report in Barron's
Guide to Graduate Business Schools,
UNC's business school has been listed
14th in the nation, according to
Margaret Matrone, the school's
communications director.
"We don't work for a number or
ranking," Matrone said. "We work
to be an excellent business school."
Last year, UNC was ranked 18th
in a Wall Street Journal survey of
employers who hire MBA students,
Matrone said.
