Instead, say Marie Roseboro, who also serves as a member of the national YMCA board of directors, and Dr. Harvey Allen, the Winston Lake building, which will replace the aging Patterson Y, will be smaller than originally planned and will lack many of the extras it was supposed to have. And they are angry. Missing from the facility, Roseboro and Allen said earlier this week, will be a raised indoor track, an observation deck for the handball court, a pool-cleaning system, bleachers, kitchen equipment, the amount of activity space initially prescribed and a payment-andperformance bond that would make the contractor or architect liable for whatever may go wrong with the Alin/Yrfai? fniln i/l/ i uuiigsici tans iu tut By ROBIN ADAMS Chronicle Staff Writer The inability of an 11-year-old to identify the man who she said tried to kidnap her has prevented him from being tried in District Court.

Hunt said that he, more than any other governor,*has appropriated money for black colleges, appointed black judges and involved black people in all areas of government. He did so, he said, simply because it was the right thing to do. "I believe very strongly and I think have acted in such a way as to try to help make this a more humane and fairer state," Hunt said. "I believe that, by word and example, I have indicated my belief in equality, my belief that every human being is created equal and should have equal opportunity, and (I have used) my leadership in such a way as to bring people together to help each other, rather than drive them apart and ... polarize our society." Still, his black critics maintain that the best thing about Jim Hunt is that he isn't Jesse Helms ? that the black community's expected alliance with him won't be so much to vote for Hunt as to vote against Helms.
