Warships track path
of Iraqi vessel in Gulf
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia A U.S.
destroyer was tracking an Iraqi vessel
Sunday in the Persian Gulf after the ship
defied two warning shots and tried to
elude American warships, military of
ficials said.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman
Lt. Col. Steve Roy said the incident was
one of about a dozen cases in which
U.S. ships have fired warning shots to
enforce trade sanctions on Iraq.
The U.S. destroyer O'Brien fired
several shots across the bow of the al
Bahar al-Arabi after the ship did not
answer its radio and ignored commands
to stop, Roy said.
U.S. military sources in Dhahran,
Saudi Arabia said the vessel was headed
for Aden, Yemen and was being tracked
by Italian and U.S. warships.
The United States and a dozen other
nations are participating in the naval
armada in the gulf region to back the
trade sanctions with miltary might.
Germany shutting
down Soviet reactor
BERLIN The new German gov
ernment will shut down the last Soviet
made nuclear reactor in what was East
Germany because the reactor is unsafe,
an Environment Ministry spokesman
said Sunday.
The spokesman, Berthold Goeke, said
in a telephone interview from Bonn that
the last operating reactor at the
Greifswald power plant in northeastern
Germany would be shut down by mid
December. Three other reactors at the Greifswald
plant and another reactor at an older
plant in Rheinsberg, just north of Ber
lin, were shut down earlier this year. All
are Soviet-designed plants.
Soviet-designed nuclear powerplants
throughout Eastern Europe have come
under heavy criticism from Western
environmental officials for failing to
meet safety standards.
The use of nuclear power is a sensi
tive issue in Germany, which has a
powerful network of anti-nuclear
groups. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear
disaster in the Soviet Union helped fuel
the anti-nuclear movement.
Rampaging Arab
laborer kills 3 Israelis
JERUSALEM An Arab laborer
shouting "God is Great!" stabbed three
Israelis to death Sunday as he rampaged
through a Jewish neighborhood, ap
parently seeking revenge for the Temple
Mount killings, police said.
One victim managed to shoot and
wound the attacker, who was then seized
by furious residents, ending the rampage
in the Baka area of southern Jerusalem,
police said.
The attack inflamed tensions in the
capital and brought in a stream of police
reinforcements as vengeance-seeking
Jews took briefly to the streets.
Police spokesman Aharon Elchayani
said his forces would bar Arabs from
traveling into Jerusalem on Monday.
Two Palestinian factions claimed
responsibility for Sunday's attack, but
police said they believed the assailant
acted alone.
The suspect was identified as Omar
Abu Sirhan, a 1 9-year-old Arab laborer
from the village of Ubbadiyeh in the
occupied West Bank.

A predicted $658 million state rev
enue shortfall for 1991-92 should not
affect University funding this year, al
though the full implications on the
University's future are unknown. Uni
versity officials said Sunday.
The state budget office predicted
revenue shortfalls for the next four years
last Wednesday. The office cited a
slowing state economy and rising oil
prices as reasons for the shortfall.
Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor of busi
ness and finance, said the University's
budget plan for the remainder of the
year had not been affected by predictions
of additional state budget woes.
The University is operating now
under a plan that incorporates a $7.3
million cash reduction into its budget
plan for the remaining three quarters of
the 1990-1991 fiscal year.
The reduction, on which the state
budget office and University officials
agreed over a month ago, did not change
after news of the shortfall, Tuchi said.
The General Assembly cut 3 percent
of the University's base budget and an
additional 1.7 percent from the
University's first quarter allotment this
summer.
Although he did not expect it to in
crease, he said "There is always that
possibility."
There was no way to predict, how
ever, what effect predicted revenue
shortfalls would have on the University.
"It would be absolute outright
speculation," he said. "We would also
have to speculate on what they (legis
lature) might do, and we have no idea

SEAC protests Exxon recroitmeiit
By DI0NNE L0Y
Staff Writer
About 25 people marched from the
Pit to Mitchell Hall to protest Exxon
recruitment on campus Friday.
The protesters carried signs such as
"Exxon job hunters, can you bring your
conscience to your work?" and "Hell
no, we won't go, we won't fight for
Texaco!" Members of the Student En
vironmental Action Coalition, the Stu
dent Committee for Peace in the Middle
East, the Arch County Greens and
Grandmothers for Peace participated in
the protest.
The demonstrators circulated two
flyers listing policies of Exxon which
they believe are environmentally ques
tionable and citing conservation legis
lation which they claim was blocked by
Heaven, and the eood Lord decides to have a nwk-un Qnmp
1991-92
what they might do."
Provost Dennis O'Connor also said
it would be difficult to predict if esti
mates of future shortfalls could have
any effect on the University's cash al
lotments for this year.
There is no sense in even trying to
contemplate what might happen to the
University's budget or cash situation
until the legislature convenes and makes
certain decisions regarding state rev
enue, O'Connor said.
"One doesn't know what the legis
lature is going to do in terms of revenue
enhancement," he said.
But if the legislature fails to raise
taxes or enact some other form of rev
enue enhancement, the University, as
well as other state agencies would have
financial problems, O'Connor said.
Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said it
would be risky to make a prediction on
what the General Assembly might do
until the Nov. 6 elections were over.
"I think it's very much up in the air
now," Hackney said. "It's in the hands
of the voters."
Hackney, who said he favors taxes
instead of additional cuts to state
agencies, said the legislature has a clear
option available. "They have a very
clear choice whether to cut state services
and education further or whether to
enact revenue bills," he said.
The prospect of the General Assem
bly reallocating funds from the highway
fund to the general fund was slim, he
said. The highway fund has received
too much money too fast, but it has a lot
of support in the legislature and probably
would not get cut regardless of the
election outcomes, he said.
the midday flood and later produced an
array of special effects, including
gurgles, smoke and sparks. After about
two hours, staff members called the

said fire officials found no imminent
fire hazard, and a University telephone
large corporations such as Exxon.
Jeff Jones, a member of the Student
Committee for Peace in the Middle East,
said all the groups protesting believed
some large corporations were so con
cerned with profit that they block leg
islation encouraging conservation. He
linked the blockage of conservation
legislation to the Persian Gulf crisis,
which he claims the United States is
involved in because of economic rea
sons. "Essentially the problem is similar
for all the groups here," Jones said. "All
efforts to conserve oil have been blocked
for profit reasons, and now they expect
us to risk our lives to protect this profit."

The phone rings in the office of North
Carolina women's soccer coach Anson
Dorrance. Sitting in soccer headquarters
at the Hut, UNC's Director of Soccer
greets the caller with the familiar but
blunt, "Anson."
The girl on the other end of the line is
a women's soccer recruit who would be
visiting the campus this past weekend
to see if Chapel Hill will be her (blue)
haven for the nextfour years. She wanted
to know what the plans were for her trip.
Dorrance gave her the run-down.
Five minutes later, the potential Tar
Heel called again to say that her parents
were coming down with her and that
they probably wouldn't go see
Fleetwood Mac.
Fleetwood Mac? On a recruiting visit,
you see the campus, see the dorm, see
the team play and go home, right? Since
said. "We're taking an educational ap
proach, rather than a confrontational
one.
"If we're expected to go to war, we at
least need to know something about the
people we're fighting," he said.
Oil and automobile industries have
tried to increase profits in every possible
way, and now it has conflicted with the
overall good of the society, Jones said.
"It's absurd that we're expected to go to
war just for the sake of Exxon and other
corporations."
Ivy Nasir, a member of Grandmoth
ers for Peace, said the Gulf crisis was a
result of U.S. support of Israel. "We've
been supporting Israel against the ben
efit of our own government."

Union Director Archie Copeland said
all areas of the Union would be open
today as employees finished cleaning
up from the flood.
Muddy water rushed onto the Union s

hour and a half before the pipe's supply
when do Stevie Nicks and Christine
McVie play a role in recruiting?
As it turns out, several women's
soccer prospects crashed in the dorm
rooms of selected current Tar Heels for
a big recruiting weekend that included a
lot more than a concert, as Dorrance
explained.
"We want to let them watch our team
play, ideally against a great team," he
said before the weekend. "This year, the
best home game is (No. 1) Virginia, so
our big recruiting weekend is Oct. 20.
It's a good weekend because Fleetwood
Mac is on Friday, and there's a football
game before our game (Oct. 20). "
"We'll play our game at 5 p.m.
after the football game but before
Michael Jordan plays. And then the
men play N.C. State the following day.
That's a weekend with a lot of activity,

Discrimination complaints
move up grievance ladder
By THOMAS HEALY
Senior Writer
Two housing support employees
who are dissatisfied with the
department's response to their charges
of discrimination are taking their
complaints to higher levels in the
University grievance process.
Bennie Griffin, campus mainte

managers have stripped him of su
pervisory powers because he is black,
while a white supervisor at the same
level has retained full power.

North Carolina, they will not be bored."
Recruiting in non-revenue sports is a
complex business. Unlike football and
basketball, recruits don't stay at the
Carolina Inn. And, in addition, many
lower-profile sports at UNC must work
with a limited number of scholarships,
making the task of attracting a top recruit
more difficult.
UNC officials were hesitant at first to
give out the numbers, but the long
awaited figures are significant (see box).
Working with less than the NCAA al
lotment of scholarships can create
roadblocks in getting the prized high
school player.

that better than anyone. With only Jiree
scholarships to give, the lowest of any
sport at UNC, Papa may not always be
