VloDemice mars Sri Laokao election
From Associated Press reports
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka At least
55 people were killed in the last two
days of campaigning for legislative
elections, including 36 villagers
massacred while they slept, officials
said Sunday.
"It is the worst and bloodiest
election campaign in Sri Lanka's
history," said Elmo Gooneratne, a
senior government official.
In the bloodiest attack, Tamil
militants attacked the villagers in a
remote jungle of central Sri Lanka.
Officials blamed militant Sinhalese
for the other 19 slayings, including
the assassination of an opposition
party candidate. He was the 14th
would-be legislator to die since
campaigning for Wednesday's elec
tions began five weeks ago.
More than 1,000 people have been
killed since nominations for the
elections began Jan. 6.
They will be the first parliamentary
elections in Sri Lanka since 1977. A
1982 referendum doubled the normal
six-year life of the legislature elected
in 1977.
Campaigning ends midnight Sun
day. Most of the 1,400 candidates for
225 parliamentary seats spent the day
addressing meetings and making last
minute appeals for votes.
The village massacre was perpe
trated by more than 50 rebels who
crept into the rice-farming village of
Dutuwewa and attacked with auto
matic rifle fire, clubs and machetes
late Saturday, said a police officer
contacted by telephone in nearby
Horawapatana.
Military officials in Colombo said
the 36 victims included 20 children.
"The rebels attacked a cluster of
houses close to the jungle," according
to the police officer, who said he was
first to arrive at the scene. "Other
villagers heard shooting and screams
but were too frightened to come out."
Dutuwewa is about 60 miles north
east of Colombo, the capital. The
village is in the predominantly Sin
halese North Central Province, but
lies just outside Eastern Province, a
main operational area for Tamil
separatists.
Hundreds of army commandos
and police fanned out in marshy
jungles surrounding the village to
search for the killers, while helicop
ters made aerial surveys to prevent
the rebels from escaping, the police-

man said on condition of anonymity.
A foreign , ministry official in
Colombo blamed the killings on the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the
most powerful Tamil guerrilla group
that has waged a bloody war for
independence since 1983.
The Tigers issued a statement
denying responsibility.
More than 8,500 people have died
in ethnic violence as minority Tamils
press their attacks on the Sinhalese
majority that dominates the
government.
Mainly Hindu Tamils make up 18
percent of the island's 16 million
people. They claim they are discrim
inated against in education, employ
ment and culture by the majority
Buddhist Sinhalese.

Martin. "Students are continually left
out of the decision-making processes
at this University," he said.
There should be a student repre
sentative on the Chapel Hill Town
Council because there are 22,000
students living in the Chapel Hill
Carrboro area, Loughran said.
Gretchen Smith, a clinic manager
at the hospital, asked the committee
to consider a shuttle service between
northern Chatham County and
oard
Chapel Hill.
The recommendations made by the
committee are. not going to work
because there are so many groups of
people in the University community,
said Harry Gooder, a microbiology
from page 1
before his failing health restricted
him.
"If you knew him as a colleague,
as a student or as a friend, you knew
him as a warm and caring man,"
Carson said. "He was supportive,
encouraging, and I believe, approving
(of the BOG)."
After the tribute, the board ded
icated a standing moment of silence
to Coates' memory.
The board also approved a recom
mendation to establish a capital
improvements project for Horace
Williams Airport. The project will
include the resurfacing of the entire
runway and new runway markings,
and will cost an estimated $324,600,
said Wayne Corpening, chairman of
the Committee on Budget and
Finance.
The project will be funded by
$200,000 from the General Admin
istration and an additional $124,600
from non-appropriated trust funds
available to the University, he said.
The BOG also proposed legislation
to the N.C. General Assembly chang
ing the governance of N.C. Memorial
Hospital.
The NCMH Board of Trustees has
no limit on the number of successive
terms an appointed member may
serve, and the hospital requests a
more regular basis for the replace
ment of members, said David Whi
chard, chairman of the Committee on
University Governance.
The bill would require that
members of the hospital board serve
no more than three four-year unin
terrupted terms, Whichard said. The
bill also proposes to change the name
of the hospital to "The University of
North Carolina Hospital," he said.
professor.
"You're trying to develop a set of
rules to apply to all of them," he said.
"It won't work."
Employees need to have direct
access to their parking spaces without
having to take a bus, Gooder said.
"If the school calls and says your child
is sick, you have to leave then," he
said. "You can't wait for a bus to take
you to a lot."
Hardin said he was pleased with
the forum. "It was extremely helpful
to me," he said. "I took a lot of notes."
Garland Hershey, vice chancellor
of health affairs and chairman of the
ad hoc committee, said he thought
the forum was very productive.
"We heard a number of good
ideas," he said. "Most of them weVe
talked about before, but there were
some new ones. We will consider all
of them."

orders delay of North's trial
From Associated Press reports

justice of the Supreme Court on
Sunday ordered a delay in the start

to news organizations by court

the Justice Department and the
special prosecutor in the case.
That Friday is the day the court

promise that would allow the trial
to proceed without delay.

last met 13 months ago, could nof'
agree on an agenda. The meeting'''
has been scheduled, only to be''
postponed, five times since then.
