UNC bucket on target, but more aite
By BURKE K00NCE
Stan Writer
University efforts during the fall se
mester to offset a shrinking state edu
cation budget were successful, but more
measures may be necessary, said Vice
Chancellor of Business and Finance
Ben Tuchi.
The University is not planning further
action at this time but would be forced
to do so later if deeper cuts were made,
he said. UNC has already absorbed sev
eral budget cuts in recent years.
"The state revenue condition appears
to be pretty much on target," he said.
"We had planned for this."

Statues still unmoved;
discussion on possible
relocation continues
By MARCIE BAILEY
Staff Writer
Returning faculty members and stu
dents who expected "The Student Body"
to be removed from in front of Davis
Library during Winter Break will find
the sculptures in the same place and a
decision from Chancellor Paul Hardin
still pending.
Hardin, who is in Tennessee until
late tonight, probably will discuss the
statue situation with Donald Boulton,
vice chancellor and dean of Student
Affairs within the next few days,
Boulton said.
Dana Lumsden, a Community
Against Offensive Statues (CAOS) or
ganizer, and Boulton met Wednesday
to discuss the possible relocation of the
statues.
"We're looking at the best ways we
can close this thing up," Boulton said.
"We want to move beyond the statues
and move to the issues that celebrate the
diversity of the University instead of
fearing it."
Lumsden could not be reached for
comment Wednesday.
The sculptures have been a topic of
controversy since they were erected in
October. Some people have said they
believe the statues are racist and sexist,
and convey an unrealistic representation
of students. Others have said moving
the statues from in front of Davis is a
restriction of free speech.
CAOS members protested the
placement of the statues and the
University's delay in relocating them
by having a lone protester sit by the
statues for several hours each day last
semester. Members had said they hoped
a decision would be made before Win
ter Break.
The Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee and a student advisory commit
tee have met over the past few months
to discuss possible relocation sites and
to make a recommendation to Hardin.

Sleet, freezing rain have little effect on Chapel Hill road conditions
From staff reports
The freezing rain and sleet that fell

The true budget outlook for the se
mester and next year is still difficult to
determine because this year's final state
revenue figures will not be available for
another two weeks, he said.
Judging from annual figures through
November, UNC is still on target, he ,
said. But if the state revenue condition
worsens, the University would be forced
to take additional measures, he said.
"If the budget outlook worsens at a
rate more precipitous than what was
predicted, then we would have no
choice," he said.

convene Jan. 30 and should begin

statues will be moved and if so, where
they will be moved to, will be made by

Possible relocation sites recom
mended by the committees include: the
Paul Green Theatre, the rock garden
near Hanes Art Center, the area between
Sitter son and Phillips halls, the area
between Fetzer Gymnasium and
Carmichael Residence Hall, a site near
the School of Law, and the wall near
Hamilton Hall.
Administrators have said the cost to
relocate the statues and erect something
in their place could be costly depending
on the new location chosen. The statues
are mounted on six-inch steel rods and
buried deep in cement blocks. John
Sanders, chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds Committee, said before Win
ter Break that the cost to relocate the
statues could be between $10,000 and
$20,000.

grass received a thin coating of ice,
temperatures rose in the night and most
of the ice had melted by daybreak.

Jim Newlin, fiscal analyst for the

would be primarily concerned with

two years. But the lawmakers will cut

The CBS late-night news show
"America Tonight" will come to Chapel
Hill today to hold a nationally televised
"town meeting" on campus about the
Persian Gulf crisis.
The show, hosted by Lesl ie Stahl and
UNC alumnus Charles Kuralt, will be
aired Thursday night from 1 1:30 p.m. to
1 a.m. on most stations and beginning at
midnight on WRAL-TV of Raleigh.
The meeting is taking place five days

The taping, which will begin at about
7:45 p.m., will take place in a parlor of

2 Chapel Hill residents die in auto
accidents while home for vacation
By CULLEN D. FERGUSON
City Editor
Two Chapel Hill youths lost their
lives in unrelated traffic accidents in the
past two weeks.
Avery Coy Maddry, a 1990 Chapel
Hill Senior High School graduate and
N.C. State University student, was hit
by a speeding car early New Year's
morning on East Rosemary Street.
Maddry had been at a party with some
friends and was standing on Rosemary
Street when the driver of the car, esti
mated to be traveling in excess of 80
mph, lost control and struck Maddry
and a friend. Maddry died Jan. 7 after
life support systems were removed.
Less than one week later, on Ja... 6,
Erin Molly McCullough, also a 1990
Chapel Hill Senior High School graduate
and student at the University of New
Hampshire, was killed when the car, in
which she was a passenger, was side
swiped by a second car on East Franklin
Street and hit a utility pole. Two other
passengers and the driver of
McCullough's car were also seriously
injured.
Police are investigating whether al
cohol was involved in both incidents.
Alberto Garcia-Lorenzo was charged
with driving while impaired (DWI) and
felony hit-and-run after his car struck
Maddry.
According to police reports, Garcia
Lorenzo was traveling east on the gravel
Number of crimes reported to UNC police
decreases during end-of-semester break
By J0 ANN RODAK
Staff Writer
The number of crimes during Winter
Break were down from November 1 990,
but Sgt. Marcus Perry, University
police crime prevention officer, said he
expected many students to file reports
today and Friday.
"We'll probably get the reports of
thefts at that time. It's normal," he said.
In December, 63 crimes were re
ported to campus police, while 87 were
reported in November.
"It's a good drop, but there were less
students here, too," Perry said.
The December reports included five
assaults, with charges dropped in three
of the incidents; 14 reports of breaking
and entering; and 44 larcenies.
The value of property reported stolen
or damaged in December was $ 1 6,6 13,
Perry said. Some of the property, val

Orange County Schools.

The higher education budget is di
vided into three funds, he said. The base
budget ensures the continuation of ex
isting programs. The expansion budget
is used to increase programs and to
enhance existing programs. Another
fund allows for capital improvements
of individual universities.
North Carolina ranks high in com
parison to other states in higher educa
tion funding, he said. North Carolina
places fourth in money spent per capita
and sixth in money spent per $ 1 ,000 of

press representative. "We chose North
Carolina because of the number of
military bases in the state. We hope that
a lot of people involved in the military
will come and take part."
The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss many different viewpoints, and
allowing too many citizens from the
Chapel Hill area could result in a one
sided show, said Lane Venardos, the
executive producer of "America To
night." "We're creating a town meeting
where we want to hear as many disparate
voices talking about the Persian Gulf as
we can," he said.
CBS officials chose about 35 of the
audience members specifically to ask
questions, and the rest of the 1 00 people
will be members of the University, town
and state community, Venardos said.
The small size of the audience will
enhance the quality of the discussion
between the hosts and the public,
Venardos said.

Police charged Garcia-Lorenzo with

A blood test was conducted at UNC

Andrew James Brehler was charged
with DWI and death by vehicle after his
car hit McCullough's car.
According to police reports,
McCullough's and Brehler's cars were

Franklin Street as they passed through
the intersection of Boundary Street and
into a sharp curve approaching Park

The fact that Kuralt is a native North
Carolinian and attended UNC between
1951 and 1955 did influence the deci

Venardos said. "It couldn't hurt," he
said, adding that Kuralt 's knowledge of

The network decided Jan. 7 to hold

"(Brehler) was not paying attention
to what he was doing," said Lt. Barry
Thompson of the Chapel Hill Police
Department. "Now, as to whether or not
he was talking to someone else or
looking at the other vehicle or looking
at something unknown in front of him
or in the car or whatever, for some
reason he was not paying attention to
what he was doing."
Brehler was charged with DWI after
the accident when police detected the
odor of alcohol on him. Brehler claimed
that he had only had two beers several
hours before the accident and that
someone had spilled a beer on him,
Thompson said. Police are waiting for
the results of a blood test.
Thompson said he hoped people
would learn something from the tragic
accidents.
"I really hope this does get the atten

"Most people think this could never
happen to them. The majority of the
students at Chapel Hill High School
probably felt the same way."
