Ex-nurse
suspect in
rape case
By Maricla Moye
Sag Writer
. Chapel Hill police issued a search
warrant this weekend inconnection with
a string of eight unsolved rapes that
occurred in the Triangle area between
1986 and 1991.
Investigators filed a warrant to seize
the property of suspect James Otis
Moore Jr., a former male nurse at UNC
Hospitals. Officials have not brought
formal charges against Moore.
Detective Rebecca Wilson of Chapel
Hill police filed the search warrant to
see if the suspect had any connection to
the rapes. Investigators fingerprinted
the suspect and took samples of his
pubic hair and of his blood.
According to police reports, all eight
rape victims were white, blond women
who lived in apartment complexes near
the hospital.
Police investigators believe the rapes
are connected directly to UNC Hospi
tals because of the crimes' close prox
imity to the medical complex.
Investigators teamed up with the
SOAR team, a Harnett County organi
zation that specializes in profiles of
sexual offenders, to discover the rapist's
identity. Given the information and evi
dence supplied, the team considered the
possibility of a health-care worker's
involvement in the rapes.
M.C. Teague of the N.C. Department
of Crime Control and Public Safety also
speculated that the rapist could be a
health-care worker.
This belief was reinforced when
Teague received a call from a former
UNC Hospitals patient who said she
was sexually molested by a male nurse
in 1 98S. Teague said the former patient's
description of the male nurse matched
those by the other eight rape victims.
Each rape victim gave police investi
gators similar physical descriptions of
their assailants and similar accounts of
the crime. All eight women said the
man covered their eyes before he raped
them. Afterward, they said the assailant
removed all items of evidence and forced
them to take a shower.
One of the victims said her attacker
seemed to be concerned about her safety
during the incident. She said the

New faces on Student Congress may
5 black members to
By Shannon Crownover
Staff Writer
An increase in the number of under
graduate black representatives will di
versify Student Congress next year.
Five black students were elected to
serve as representatives in the 1992-93
congress. Only one black student served
on this year's congress.
"It will be a positive change, because
we need the extra diversity in congress,"
Speaker Tim Moore said. "But this
year's congress was sensitive to the
concerns of minorities."
Eric Martin, Dist. 8, said it was frus
trating being the only black representa
tive in congress this year.
"It was extremely difficult to get
anything accomplished," Martin said.
"With more minorities in congress, they
will be able to get more done and will
have more influence."

chairman, said he thought having more

"Friction between Chapel Hill and
Hillsborough has become very politi

to say which one you're in favor of.
"The most logical place to put (the
landfill) would be next to an interstate.
It would educate people," Firpo said.
Norman Christensen, Dean of the
School of the Environment at Duke

minorities in congress would help ease
tensions on campus and create a higher
level of maturity in congress.
"If they can work together well, they
can counteract all the negative effects

Next year's five black undergradu
ate representatives in congress are
Dezette McMillian and Erica Glover,
Dist. 18; Philip Charles-Pierre and
George Battle, Dist. 17; and Larry
Belton, Dist. 16.
Charles-Pierre said he wanted to be a
leader for all students, not just for black
students. He said his main goal was to
propose legislation that would benefit
everyone.
"I want it to be a pragmatic and fair
congress," Charles-Pierre said. "People
will see somebody who is positive, and
it will reflect on the black community."

because of its value as a research facil

threat to the forest and the serious im
pacts on academic values are important
reasons to drop this site from the list of
final candidates," Christensen said. "The
mere consideration of this site poses a
threat to the entire Duke Forest."
Although the forest is frequently used
by Orange County citizens for recre

an area of teaching and research, he
said.

Disagreement between Moore, Young Republicans could divide conservatives
By Chandra McLean
Staff Writer
UNC's Young Republicans passed a
resolution Friday prohibiting any deal
ings with Speaker Tim Moore or his
cohorts on the grounds that he sought to
solicit the aid of various members of the
Student Congress in order to facilitate
his own advancement.
Although several new conservative
representatives were elected tocongress,
this disagreement between Young Re
publicans and Moore may soften their
voting power.
Maitri Klinkosum, a member of the
Young Republicans, said that Moore
encouraged several conservative stu
dents to run for congress, that he was
well aware of the fact they were running
and that he remained in contact with
them throughout the campaign.
Klinkosum said Moore told The Daily
Tar Heel he did not encourage conser

use of this site as a garbage dump."
Chapel Hill resident John Foushee
said he opposed OC-17, because he
feared town development eventually
would near the site.
"The first landfill is now right in the
middle of town, off of Plant Road,"
Foushee said. "Chapel Hill has grown
past it and has grown up almost against
the Eubanks Road site."
Matt Cowlentie, an Orange County
resident who spoke in favor of the elimi
nation of OC-11, located near Little
Creek and the Eno River, accused the
LOG of subjectively selecting possible
landfill sites.
"The committee has not disclosed its

"He doesn't want to look like a bad
guy in anybody's eyes," he said. "I
don't care anymore whether a person is
a liberal or a conservative, as long as
they do the job.
Moore denied encouraging conser
vatives to run for congress, adding that
he simply told them how they could get
involved.
"Anyone who came by the office and
asked how they could run for office, I
have done my duty of getting them
involved," he said. "The whole point of
whether or not I did (encourage conser
vatives to run), well there's nothing
wrong with that."
Klinkosum said Moore asked Lee
Newcomb, a Young Republican who
was elected in District 1 1, to run for
congress because he was trying to pro
mote as many conservatives as he could.
"He said something about how he
didn't know conservatives were run

CGLA files suit

The Carolina Gay and Lesbian Asso

Congress Wednesday demanding the
removal of restrictions placed on its
budget.
Restrictions passed by congress Sun

The written complaint alleges that
the restrictions are a violation of the

Policy mandates
security, bans kegs

Security guards will patrol all Greek
sponsored events looking for minors
and removing unwanted guests as a
result of a strict risk-management policy
passed by the Inter-Fraternity and
Panhellenic councils Tuesday night.
In addition, Greek chapters can no
longer use collective funds to purchase
alcohol or have kegs at parties where
non-members or prospective rushees
will be present.
The Panhellenic Council unani
mously approved the policy, while the
IFC accepted the policy with a 15-5-2
vote after a long debate. The five frater
nities voting against the policy were

It must be concluded that the

sources would result in destructive con

"I don't think he is representative of

of Moore saying "honest government"
and making himself out to be a great

Newcomb said. "I want to inform the

did not accept the policy, they were still
obligated to follow it.
"I know that all the fraternity nation
als do expect, and it is written in their
national policies, that if an IFC adopts a
policy, every chapter must follow thai
policy," she said.
The national chapter representatives
of all fraternities and sororities were
notified of the vote's results. Barter
said.
"Most national officers of fraterni

Donna Harrison, an Orange County
resident, asked the LOG to remove OC

and N.C. 86, from the list of possible
sites.
"It says in Genesis that God gives the
domain of the Earth to people," Harrison
said. "Destroying trees to create a gar
bage dump isn't what God had in mind.

we've got to quit destroying it."

me is what type of vision they have and
how they want to use their position in
student government."
Moore said congress did not have a
partisan system of government, so he
could not have gone out and run a re
publican campaign.
But Chris Tuck, a conservative con
gress member, said Moore definitely
made an effort to get many conserva
tives in congress.
"There are too many games going on
in Student Congress," Tuck said.
People don't want to be attacked, so
they don't say what they really feel, he
said.
"This past year, you had some con
servatives on Student Congress who
would not vote conservative when the
big issues came down," he said. "We
hope this will change this year.
