Unmanned ol freighter
threatens N.C. coast
WILMINGTON, N.C. Emergency
crews tried Tuesday to regain control
of an unmanned freighter that broke
loose from a tug amid rough seas and
drifted toward shallow water.
The freighter was carrying no
cargo but had 378,000 gallons of
heavy oil in its fuel tanks.
If the freighter cannot be recon
nected to its tug or anchored, it could
reach Frying Pan Shoals, said Petty
Officer Michael Davis of the Coast
Guard station in Portsmouth, Va. The
shoals are shallow waters off the
southeastern tip of North Carolina. At
around noon Tuesday, theship was
located about 55 miles northeast of
Cape Fear and was drifting southwest
toward Frying Pan Shoals.
Davis described the possibility of
an oil spill as a “very high concern.”
Storm force winds were expected
along the Outer Banks Tuesday night.
Winds were expected to increase to
50 to 60 mph with seas building to 20
feet.
Somalian sniper fire
fatally wounds Marine
MOGADISHU, Somalia The death
Tuesday of a Marine shot by a sniper
while on a nighttime foot patrol
comes as the U.S. military appears to
be deepening its involvement in this
lawless east African nation.
The serviceman, hit in the capital’s
dangerous northern sector just before
midnight Monday, was the second
Marine and the third American killed
in Somalia.
The patrol returned the fire, but it
was not known if the sniper was hit,
spokesmen said. The Marine died less
than two hours later in a Swedish
field hospital.
The Pentagon today identified him
as Lance Cpl. Anthony Botello of
Wilberton, Okla. Botello, 21, was
assigned to the 7th Marine Regiment
at Twenty nine Palms, Calif., the
Pentagon said.
Rascals jury convicts
Wilson on five counts
HERTFORD An Edenton woman
was convicted Tuesday of five counts
of sexual abuse involving children
who attended the day care where she
worked as a cook.
The jury acquitted Kathryn Dawn
Wilson on two other charges.
Wilson, 27, was convicted on one
count of first-degree sex offense and
four counts of taking indecent
liberties with children.
She was acquitted of one count of
first-degree sex offense and one count
of the indecent liberties charge. Those
two charges involved sex acts that
were reported to have taken place on
a boat.

Quayle sells memoir
rights to publisher
NEW YORK Former Vice
President Dan Quayle has sold the
rights to his memoirs, which will be
brought out in the fall of 1994, the
publisher Harper Collins announced
Tuesday.
Spokesman Steven Sorrentino
would not say what the publishing
house was paying Quayle. But the
Washington Post, citing unidentified
sources, described it as a seven-figure
deal, $1 million or more.
The book has no title yet, nor has a
writer been signed to work with
Quayle.

when then-Sen. Quayle was chosen to
run for vice president, to last
November’s election.

Panelists discuss problems
affecting women at UNC
By Gina Evans
Staff Writer
Four female speakers presented their
perspectives on how college women
could improve their University experi
ences in a forum titled “Undergraduate
Women At Carolina: Is This What You
Expected?” Tuesday night.
Carol Binzer, assistant director of the
Leadership Development Office; Margo
Crawford, director of the Sonja H. Stone
Black Cultural Center; Dorothy Hol
land, anthropology professor and co
author of the book “The Culture of
Romance;” and Peggy Norton, a regis
tered nurse at the Student Health Gyne
cology Clinic, spoke to about 40 women
about what they considered to be the
major obstacles facing campus women
today during the presentation, which
was held in Hanes Art Center.
All four speakers encouraged women
to get involved in organizations on cam
pus that would not emphasize romance
and attractiveness.
Binzer said stereotyping and a fear
of power were major issues limiting
undergraduate women at UNC.
“Women on this campus have to work
harder to prove themselves,” Binzer
said.
Women lack role models at the Uni
versity, she said. To remedy this situa
tion, Binzer helped establish the
“Womentoring” program, which links
first-year women with female faculty
across campus, last year.
“UNC is a microcosm of what is
going on in the real world,” Binzer said.
“Networking and communication is
needed if more women are going to be
in leadership positions.”
Crawford said racism and sexism
tampered with people’s self-esteem.
Women who function on the same level
as men face the label of “radical” or
“troublemaker,” she said.
“Being labeled as a troublemaker
rises above color,” Crawford said.

Don’t forget to turn out the lights:
UNC working to lower power bills
By Everett Arnold
Staff Writer
Like any money-minded homeowner,
the University is making an effort to
keep its power bill down.
Conservation efforts by the
University ’ s Energy Conservation Com
mittee have led to lower bills in recent
months, and UNC officials plan on
working to bring the semester fees down
even lower.
Last semester, the University’s en
ergy bill was down 4.5 percent from the
fall semester of 1991, saving the Uni
versity $110,960.
Laura Gaines, the ECC’ s student rep
resentative, attributed part of the energy
decrease to past Physical Plant effi
ciency tests. The decrease also was due
to efficiency changes made on campus.
In addition to newly implemented
conservation methods, the ECC has
started publishing a monthly energy
audit to show how much energy campus
buildings are using.
The ECC hopes publishing the audit
will raise student and faculty awareness
about the importance of energy conser
vation on campus, Gaines said.
As part of the ECC’s classroom im
provement program, UNC is spending
$30,000 to $40,000 annually on effi
ciency improvements and is concen
trating on changing the types of lighting
on campus, Gaines said.
Campus lighting accounts for 40 per
cent of the University’s annual energy
bill.
Incandescent lights in the residence
halls and classrooms are being replaced
with compact fluorescent ones. “The
fluorescent lights are more expensive
but save money in the long run,” Gaines
said.
several people seemed to be in posses
sion of the stolen furniture.
Rene Haithcox, assistant to the Uni
versity housing facilities planner, said
she was investigating whether an up
holstered end table, found two weeks
ago during a check
of Teague, was part of the missing cache
of furniture.
Watts said the housing department
had turned over the matter of the miss

Financial aid rules
lead to more loans
By Peter Sigal
Staff Write-
New student loan regulations aimed
at helping middle-class families actu
ally might place a greater financial
burden on students and reduce the
amount of money available to low
income students.
In effect, the federal government
will reduce the amount of grants it
awards while increasing the amount of
student loans it will guarantee, said
UNC financial aid officials.
“The govemmenthas expanded (the
federal loan program) on the backs of
students,” said Eleanor Morris, (Erec
tor of scholarships and student aid at
UNC.
Every five years, the federal gov
ernment revamps the college loan pro
gram, Morris said. The latest revisions,
aimed at simplifying the loan eligibil
ity process and loosening the financial
requirements few middle-class students,
will mean more forms, delays and fran
tic students waitingfortheiraidchecks,
she said.
"This has been the most complex
year since I started working in the
financial aid office in 1964,” Morris
said.
More students will qualify for aid,
but according to the new regulations, a
higher percentage of the money will
come in loans, Morris said. Students
will end up shouldering a greater debt
than they did under the old guidelines,
she said.
The relaxed eligibility requirements
will make it easier for students to bor
row. A family that can claim fewer
assets has a better chance of qualifying
for financial aid.
The parents’ home will nolongerbe
considered an asset, and students and
their parents will be expected to con
tribute less to educational costs.
Also, if a student’s parents earn less
than $50,000 a year and file a short-

Gaines pointed out the number of

“We are not going to tum off outside

to the other members of the ECC.”
The University also is adding extra
window panes for insulation in campus
buildings such as Davis Library.
New measures also include light sen

New aid process
produces more
forms to fill out
By Peter Sigal
Staff Writer
Undergraduates applying for fi
nancial aid for 1993-94 will face 1
increased paperwork before the
March 1 deadline.
Financial-aid forms now are avail
able in Vance Hall, said Eleanor
Morris, director of scholarships and
student aid. New regulations enacted
by the federal government require
undergraduates to fill out two forms
when filing for both federal aid and
institutional grants and scholarships.
Students should read the forms
carefully, Morris said. Graduate stu
dents only need to complete a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid.
But undergraduates must fill out both
a FAFS A and a Financial Aid Form.
Both forms are due by March 1,
Morris said. The FAF, which deter
mines eligibility for UNC’s institu
tional grants and scholarships, gives
more weight to lower-income fami
lies than the FAFSA.
The University uses a formula
that includes the older, stricter data
items from the FAF to ensure that
low-income students have the best
shot at the $3.4 million UNC pro
vides yearly in institutional grants
and scholarships, Morris said.
About 10,700 students applied
for financial aid for 1992-93, and
applications still are arriving. In
1991-92, 10,300 students applied,
and Morris said she expected even
more applicants for 1993-94.
Forms receivedafter March 1 will
be considered as they arrive, Morris
said. “But to be safe, they ought to
be well on their way by March 1.”
“It used to be thought that rapidly
turning off and on lights like that would
decay the lights,” Paul said. “We know
now that if they’re off for just three to
five minutes the energy saved over
comes the cost of deterioration.”
Paul said part of the improvements
included the installation of “piggyback”
motors in campus buildings. "They kick
in when you don’t need all the energy
produced by the big motor, so they use
less energy,” he said.
Looking for even more economy, the
ECC would like feedback from the cam-
