The Undergraduate Honor Court
found five student protesters guilty
Friday of willfully interfering in the
conduct of the University but not
guilty of trespassing in University
offices.
The sanction for the guilty charge
is censure. The students will receive
a letter of official reprimand, and a
notation will be placed on their
University disciplinary records. Any
further offenses against the campus
code will result in more severe
penalties, according to the Instru
ment of Student Judicial
Governance.
The five defendants were Graham
Entwistle, Joey Templeton, Steve
Sullivan, Kasey Jones and Lisa
House.

"own Council agrees
By WILL LINGO
City Editor
The Chapel Hill Town Council
took some major steps Thursday
night in its continuing efforts to
establish a cooperative planning
relationship with Chatham County.
The council voted 6-3 to endorse
an agreement which would allow the
Orange Water and Sewer Authority
(OWAS A) to sell supplemental water
to Chatham County.
The council also voted 7-2 for an
annexation agreement in which

Entwistle said the protesters would
appeal the verdict.
"I have no intention of letting it
lie at a guilty verdict," he said.
The defendants have 96 hours to
file a written appeal.
The five student justices who
presided over the trial returned the
verdict and determined the sanction
early Friday morning after several
hours of deliberation.
"The thought that what we did on
April 15 was willfully obstructive,
after the careful plans we made that
it not be so, does not sit well with
me," Entwistle said.
About 150 people came to Man
ning Hall to watch the first open
Honor Court trial in two years.
The charges stemmed from an
incident at Hanes Hall in April, when
members of the CIA Action Com
winds.
"All problems were nominal, and
the solid rocket boosters will be
recovered tomorrow and thoroughly
inspected," said Dominic Amatore, a
spokesman for the Kennedy Space
Center.
The explosion of the Challenger
was caused by sparks escaping
through a gap in the casing of the
solid rocket boosters. Since then,

Amatore said.

the value of the dollar in foreign

are bought in foreign markets, the
prices of such materials have
increased sharply, he said.

Council members David Pasquini,
Jim Wallace and Art Werner voted
against the first measure. Wallace and
Pasquini voted against the second
measure.
Council member Julie Andresen,
who has led Chapel Hill's efforts to
establish a working relationship with
Chatham County, said these actions
will be a great help in the negotiation

Planning and Placement Services
(UCPPS) offices.
Eight students, including the five
defendants, were arrested April 15
after lying on the floor of the UCPPS
office working area and refusing
official orders to leave.
During the four-hour hearing
Thursday, five witnesses were called.
Robert McCain acted as the inves
tigator in the case, and Virginia
Mewborne acted as the defense
counsel.
Most of the testimony focused on
details of the April 15 incident.
Sharon Wiatt, UCPPS associate
director, testified that the protest
disrupted UCPPS operations for

"We added more insulation so that
the possibility of that type of problem
occurring again is minimal. Also, the
main engines have been improved, the
external tank has been strengthened,
and a crew escape system has been
added," he said.
This Discovery mission carried a
crew of five veteran astronauts, whose
main objective for the four-day
mission will be the deployment of a
tracking data relay satellite (TDRS),
which will be used by NASA to
maintain the number of serial sub
scriptions held last year would require
over $125,000 more, he said.
Such a reduction in the library
collections could result in a fall of
the library's national ranking, said
Janet Flowers, head of the acquisi
tions department.
Both serial and book prices have
increased 9 percent, almost four times
the increase of the cost of living index,
Shipman said.
The library has suffered a loss of
$787,455 in purchasing power over
the last two years alone, and many
materials which are not essential
cannot be bought.
"Materials we've tried to acquire
these last two years we may never
acquire," he said, because many
materials will go out of print or
become too expensive before the
library receives the funding.
All requested materials are labeled
with a priority number, but only
"priority one" materials are sent to
the acquisitions department for
purchase. This leaves thousands of
requested materials on hold indefi
nitely, Shipman said.
Funds designated for the acquisi
tion of new books have been reduced
by 29 percent over the last two years,
and funds used for subscribing to new
serials are available only by canceling
other subscriptions, according to a
library memorandum released to all
department chairmen Sept. 21.
UNC has tried to fill the gap by
appropriating $68,501 for the Aca
demic Affairs Library and $15,733 for
the Health Sciences Library. But the
funds are still vastly inadequate,
Shipman said.

toward a joint planning agreement if
these measures had been defeated or
delayed, Andresen said.
But now the parties can work
together and continue to improve
their relationship, she said.
"We've gotten two counties
together that have never worked
together before," Andresen said. "We
have accomplished some great things
between counties that had never even
talked before."
Long, heated discussion of both
measures preceded the votes, as
council members raised serious con
cerns about the implications the
moves would have for the town.

Students offered varied opin
ions on the verdict and the trial
of five UNC students Thursday,
" The five CIA Action Committee
(CIAAC) members were found
guilty on charges of obstructing
University activities and innocent
of trespassing charges stemming
from an April 15 incident at the
University Career Planning and
Placement Services (UCPPS)
office in Hanes Hall.
Junior Fabiana Politi said she
hoped for a verdict of not guilty
in the trial, but the evidence in the
trial was even.
"The defense cleared a lot of
issues in the trial, especially the
issue of time," Politi said. The
protesters would not be on trial
enhance communications with the
shuttle and to record data from other
satellites, Amatore said.
" "This mission is vital in getting
back into regular flying," said Jerry
Berg, spokesman for NASA at the
Johnson Space Center in Houston.
An autonomous supplemental instru
menting system will be used in-flight
to record environmental data such as
vibration, temperature and acoustics
as they affect the TDRS, he said.
In addition, about 12 smaller
State funding designated for mate-;
rials acquisition totaled $3,207,673
million during the 1987-88 fiscal year. .
All 1988-89 funding, including that
provided by the University, is
$3,276,254. But library officials say
the 2. 1 percent increase is not enough.
"We did not get the increase from
the state legislature, and $68,000 is
not much compared to a $3 million
budget," Flowers said.
But without funding from the
University, this year's 12 percent
reduction in book acquisition would
have been greater, she said.
The Law Library's budget for the
1987-88 fiscal year was $457,000, a
figure smaller than the amount
requested. This year the library
received $1,000 less than last year's
figure and received no special funds
from the University, said Laura
Gasaway of the Law Library.
As a result, the library has cut back
on the subscriptions of serials, denied
faculty requests for books, and
reduced the number of bound mate
rials, she said.
Faculty and students who are
deprived of needed materials could
start feeling some effects of the
finance problems as soon as 1989,
"It's still early in the year, but later
on the complaints will probably begin
jo hit," she said,
Carol Jenkins, Health Sciences
Library director, said the library
received no increase in acquisition
funds either. Money designated for
the creation of new programs was
instead diverted into the acquisitions
budget.

Council members generally agreed
that the sale of water to Chatham
County was the key to growth and
development in the county, and this
growth could eventually lead to the
possibility of annexation in the
county by Chapel Hill.
Thus, these issues and the discus
sion about them were frequently
woven together.
Werner said the annexation agree
ment had too many concessions on
the part of Chapel Hill.
"I don't see why we're making this
unilateral concession at this point,"
Werner said. "Chatham is not volun
teering to do anything."

Sorrow" protest week, she said.
. Before the trial, the CIAAC had
a negative connotation to most
students, Politi said. "When you
mention CIAAC, they say, Oh,
those are the people who spilled
the red juice and ran the man out
of town, " she said, referring to
the, actions taken against a CIA
recruiter who attempted to recruit
UNC students in Chapel Hill Feb.

"An awful lot of work, effort and
long hours have gone into this
mission," Berg said. "It was inspected
down to the last bolt. There was a
good deal of tension in the air until
things looked good. We have a great
sense of exhilaration and elation to
have the shuttle flying again."

But Andresen said she did not view
the agreement as a concession.
"The courtesy review is something
we need now," she said. "(The
agreement) states our intention and
shows our good faith."
Wallace said water was the key to
the entire issue of continuing growth
in Chatham County.
"(Chatham County) desires water
which means development which
means expansion in Chatham
County," Wallace said.

"To go ahead with water and

Hill," Pasquini said.

were acting in good faith.
