City Police Roundup

In Chapel Hill:
Police officers were called to 230
Tar Heel Mobile Court Friday when
Rebecca Marr reported hearing a
woman screaming. The screams came
from the wooded area between the
trailer park and nearby Taylor Lake.
Officers searched the area thoroughly
but located no one.
Police answered a call at 405
Bowling Creek Road Friday from a
woman complaining that a bat was in
her home. The officers helped Viola
Glen catch the bat and release it un
harmed outside.
Responding to a call at 219
Northampton Plaza on Sunday, po
lice received a report from Theodore
Powell that his ex-girlfriend had put
sugar in his gas tank. The area was
searched, but the woman was not
found.
A complaint was filed with police
Friday by Lee Shatterfield stating that
two men in a white truck with blue
stripes stopped and asked several
sorority members for a date. The
suspects left when they were unable
to obtain a date.
Police answered a call from a
Chapel Hill resident Sunday report
ing that a stray dog had been found on
the property of Zip Mart, located on
East Franklin Street. Officers took the
dog to the Chapel Hill Animal Shel
Petition
and are seeking to remove me from
.the scene."
Friedman said this allegation was
untrue. "I am truly disheartened that
Mark would think I am involved with
this. I have no other aspirations other
than staying where I am. It seems it is
r very unprofessional to think that. I
mean, granted they (Wilkens and Burns)
are my hallmates and all, but ... I am
quite upset that he actually believed
this."
Even if he were a member of the
groups, it wouia not be an etnical vio
lation for him to vote on their budgets,
f said Student Congress Speaker Gene
Davis.
: "It (the Student Code) does not say a
congress member cannot vote on these
'groups he is a member of)."
- Davis is a member of both the BSM
and the NCSL, but abstains from vot
ing on matters concerning either group,
' he said. It is a congress tradition that the
speaker does not vote except in the case
of a tie. In the past, Buchenau has
refrained from voting on matters in
volving the Association of International
Students, of which he is a member.
"Usually, congress members do not
vote if they are a member of the group,
but it is not unethical," Davis said.
Friedman said that even though Bibbs
was no longer a member of the BSM or
the NCSL, he should not have voted on
their budgets. "It is still an ethical vio
lation. If I had at one time been a
'member of the Association of Interna-
. tional Students, I would remove myself
ffrom voting on issues concerning it.
."It's unfair representation."
Davis said he did not consider this to
be wrong. "Each member of congress
is swayed when voting on a bill in one
,way or another."
t"' Some District 12 residents feel that
'Bibbs has not been fairly representing
'them, Burns said. "They (students) are
"concerned that he's not representing
the wishes of the (district). With the

was parked in the lot behind Town

Police officers recorded sound
levels Sunday exceeding the limits of
the town's noise ordinance at the Hillel
Foundation. A band was providing
entertainment for the group at the
student center.
The officers took decibel readings
recorded at 68 dB from the property

Fischer who said he was not aware of
the city ordinance against a band

Center), he said he took a poll of his
constituents, and they called for a re
vote. Mindy also took a poll, and her
results were different. I think his results
were skewed toward his point of view."
Friedman said she has heard her
constituents are not happy with Bibbs.
"They feel he's not representing their
views. They think he is interested only
in furthering himself."
Congress member Matthew Heyd
(Dist. 11) said that Bibbs served his
district well and that a recall should not
occur. "Rumors should not make it into
the paper. A recall is stupid. We're
answerable to the students. What Mr.
Wilkens suggests is an internal matter
and should be handled by congress. It's
none of his business."
The petitioners would have had to
get 15 percent, or 250, of the Scott
Residence College residents
Carmichael, Whitehead, Parker, Avery
and Teague residence halls to sign
for the petition to have been valid.
If the necessary number of signa
tures had been gathered, the petition
would have been sent to Student Body
President Brien Lewis. If the names
and addresses had been valid, a re
election would have been held, and
Bibbs would have been allowed to run
again.
Before the petition was withdrawn,
Bums said he thought at least 250 people
would sign the petition. "Based on the
dissatisfaction I've heard, I don't think
it will be very difficult."
Before the petition was withdrawn,
Burns said that if there were a recall of
the election, he would run for the posi
tion. Wilkens said he would not run for
office, but would support Burns.

2nd ADDS house meetiinie discussed
By JESSICA LANNING
Assistant City Editor
Plans are being made for another
meeting to decide the fate of the house
for AIDS patients by the Orange County
AIDS Task Force and the Taylor Street
Neighborhood Association.
The house, which has been offered
to the housing subcommittee of the task
force as an opportunity to house AIDS
patients of North Carolina Memorial
Hospital for treatment and research, is
located at 1 1 OTaylor St. in north Chapel
Hill. The neighbors of the house were
invited on Sept. 5 by the task force to
voice their opinion and ask questions.
Ed Tostanoski, spokesman for the
neighborhood association, said a date
and location for a second meeting of the
Taylor Street residents and the task
force will be set this Thursday.

CHARLOTTE Former PTL board
member Efrem Zimbalist Jr. testified
Monday he never knew about the
ministry's financial problems when the
board was asked to approve bonuses
for Jim Bakker.
"It was called a board of directors,
but at no time did it operate like one,"
said Zimbalist, star of "The FBI" tele
vision series who served on the board
from 1981 to 1986. "It was a board of
approval or affirmation only."
Asked if he recalled approving a
$390,000 bonus for Bakker, Zimbalist
said, "Oh no, oh no."
He told a U.S. District Court jury
that the board was not informed of
financial problems at its meetings.

postponed due to other church commit
ments. The association will meet next week
to formulate a list of questions to ask
the task force at the next meeting,
Tostanoski said. "Then we'll see what
answers they'll come up with."
At the last meeting, residents were
concerned about the lack of planning
and the "fear of the unknown."
The task force did not have answers
to the residents' questions concerning
who would be responsible for the house,
how responsible the patients would be,
what health risks would be involved or
what kind of supervision the house and
the patients would receive.
Residents are concerned about the
number of children who live on the
street and play in the neighbors' yards
and who will pass the AIDS house once
they get off the bus.
unaware of PTL financial woes
they would have to do with one or two
projects in the works or ones being
contemplated. The financial condition
of PTL was never discussed."
Bakker is charged with diverting
more than $3.7 million in PTL money
to fund his lavish lifestyle. If found
guilty of the 24 counts against him,
Bakker could be sentenced to 1 20 years
in prison and fined more than $5 mil
lion. Zimbalist said Bakker asked him to
be on PTL's board after the actor ap
peared on Bakker's television show.
"I told him I was not in a position to
fulfill the duties of a board member,"
Zimbalist testified. "I lived in Califor
nia and worked there and I felt I could
not be involved in PTL's problems."
He said Bakker's response was:
"That's no problem."

One resident at the meeting thought
having AIDS patients living on the
street would affect the atmosphere of
the neighborhood, she said.
"My concern is not only the health
problems but children are conditioned
by their environment and are desensi
tized by their env ironment and we chose
this neighborhood for its environment."
Residents were also concerned about
hypodermic needles lying in the yards
and having new people frequently
moving into the house.
Local churches, who are rumored to
be interested in helping with the AIDS
house residents, did not have any repre
sentatives at the first meeting.
One man from Aldersgate United
Methodist Church who attended the
meeting said people were offering help
on an individual basis and no formal
group had been organized. He said the
Asked if he would have approved
bonuses had he known about the finan
cial condition of the ministry, Zimbal
ist said, "I think I would have left the
board at that point if that were the
case."
After the actor testified, two govern
ment investigators presented evidence
showing Bakker's bonuses were drawn
from accounts set up to receive his
partnership contributions.
The partnerships were one-time,
$1,000 payments that guaranteed three
nights a year lodging for life. The
government contends Bakker misused
those funds, which were solicited over
the television broadcasts and through
the mail.

Newman Center was responsible for
inviting nine local churches to help the
AIDS patients financially, spiritually
and with manpower.
Tostanoski said he was still unsure
who was in charge after he spoke with
Dan Reimer, chairman of the task force,
on Tuesday. When Tostanoski asked
when the next meeting would be, Re
imer said he was unsure of who was
supposed to schedule the meeting.
"The consensus at the moment is
that an AIDS house is needed," he said.
But the residents are upset with the way
the process of finding one has been
handled.
After the second meeting the resi
dents will come together and decide
how they feel about having the AIDS
patients in their neighborhood, he said.

between January 1984 and May 31,
1987. Only $49 million of that was
spent on hotel and other construction
projects.
IRS agent Hugh Tucker said $74
million was received for lodging in the
Towers Hotel, which was never fin
ished. Only $ 1 1 .4 million of that amount
went for construction at the hotel, where
today a crane hangs silently atop steel
framework.
When Bakker received a $390,000
bonus in March 1984, Dash testified,
the funds came from the Heritage Grand
Hotel partnership account. Dash testi
fied that $195,000, Bakker's cut after
taxes, was transferred into his checking
account on May 18, 1984. Before the
end of the month, Bakker paid $ 145,000
down on a $449,000 home in Palm
Desert, Calif.
