Independent experts: Cult members set fire WACO, Texas Members of a doomsday cult started the fire that consumed their prairie fortress a week ago, killing an estimated 86 people, independent arson investigators said Monday. “We believe it was intentionally set by persons inside the compound,” said Paul Gray, who headed the investigation team. “At least two locations were significantly distant enough from each other that they couldn’t have been set by the same source at the same time.” Also Monday, a second victim of the blaze was identified, and authori ties said she had a bullet wound to the head. The FBI said that three cult members had been shot. The first victim was identified Sunday as David Michael Jones, Koresh’s brother-in-law. Jones was the mail carrier who learned from a television photographer of the impending raid on the compound, said Koresh’s lawyer, Dick DeGuerin. Jones told Koresh, and the group was ready when U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents arrived Feb. 28, DeGuerin said. Yeltsin says vote tally is show of confidence MOSCOW Anew round in Russia’s power struggle began Monday as Boris Yeltsin’s team claimed “massive support” from a weekend referendum while his opponents said the vote had hurt the country. Preliminary official results and exit polls showed that a majority of voters in Sunday’s referendum gave the 62- year-old Russian president a vote of confidence and endorsed his painful free-market reforms. But hard-liners pointed to the fact that only about 35 percent of Russia’s 105.5 million eligible voters ex pressed confidence in Yeltsin, with the rest voting against him or staying away from the polls. Bosnian Serbs reject proposed peace plan BELGRADE, Yugoslavia The first cracks appeared Monday between Bosnian Serbs and their patrons in Belgrade when the Serbian leadership in Bosnia ignored a sharply worded appeal from Serbia’s president. With tougher sanctions set to begin Tuesday that would basically impound any Yugoslav planes, trains and ships that operate abroad, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic urged the ad hoc assembly to accept an international peace plan to end more than a year of fighting in Bosnia. The assembly, meeting in the northeastern Bosnia town of Bijeljina, had met in hurried session Sunday night but in the end, its 77 representa tives voted unanimously against accepting a United Nations-sponsored plan to end fighting in Bosnia that has left 134,000 people dead and missing the past year.

The Head Start program at Chapel Hill’s Seawell Elementary School was granted a six-month special provisional license, which can be revoked if the day care doesn’t follow state recommenda tions. “It’s one of our more stringent ad ministrative rulings,” said Christine Carroll, supervisor of North Carolina’s Child Abuse-Neglect Unit, which ruled on the case. “The next step is revoking the license.” Investigators found that allegations of corporal punishment and inadequate supervision were substantiated. Alle Violence steadily rising in town By Leah A. Campbell Staff Writer Chapel Hill police officers have had their hands full for the past few months. “Chapel Hill is moving with the same trend as the entire Southeast,” Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said. “This region is experiencing the biggest jump in crime than any other area in the country.” Cousins said Chapel Hill had experienced drastic in creases in the numbers of robberies and aggravated assaults. Although figures are not yet available for 1993, statistics show that crime steadily has risen. In 1990, 35 cases of robbery were reported; in 1991, 51; and in 1992, the number jumped to 85. In 1990,166 cases of aggravated assault were reported; 215 in 1991; and 242 were reported in 1992. In addition to a steady increase in robberies and assaults, police have dealt with the April 5 NCAA Championship celebration on Franklin Street, incidents of violence after the National champs on their way to the White House Staff report UNC’s national champion men’s basketball team will make a trip to the White House today to meet President Clinton.

The investigation also found that children at the day care: ■ had to wash their own linens if they wet themselves, ■ were not given enough time to eat their meals and ■ were told they would be “taken to the bathroom” or “jacked up” if they didn’t behave. Patsy Byrd, associate director of Chapel Hill-Carrboro Head Start, said she was disturbed by the results of in vestigation. “They really raked us over the coals,” she said. Byrd said Head Start officials needed time to review the findings of the inves tigation before they decided whether to appeal. The day care has 15 days to decide whether to appeal, she added.

Taylor said she was frightened at the outset but soon calmed down. Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools, said he would like to have additional informa tion before deciding to appeal the find ing. “We may request a review of the finding, but we have not decided yet,” he said. Pedersen said the school district took the investigations very seriously and hoped to rectify the problems. He added that the findings of the investigation would not affect the program’s federal funding. Byrd said Head Start officials would hold a meeting for parents this week to discuss the investigation’s findings, which were compiled by the N.C.

Lack of funding puts AIDS testing at SHS in danger By Tim Perkins Staff Writer The future of AIDS testing at UNC might be in jeopardy, but health admin istrators and students said they would fight to keep a program in place. A group of students currently is peti tioning to make sure AIDS testing re mains easily available for students. “We are anxious not to cut any of our services,” said Dr. Judith Cowan, direc tor of the Student Health Service. But for four of the past six years there has been no increase in the fees Student Health receives, Cowan said. “Theo retically we may have to stop the pro gram,” she said. Dr. John Reinhold, coordinator of HIV test counseling, has worked with the testing program since it was started in January 1989 and will retire at the end of the summer. “Without somebody taking my place, the program would be seriously ham pered,” Reinhold said. “The question is how to carry it forth.” SHS has performed more than 850 AIDS tests since the program began in 1989, Reinhold said. In the fall semes ter of 1992, Student Health conducted 145 HIV tests. There have been only two positive results since the program began, both of which were in the first year. “Testing doubled after the Magic Johnson situation,” Reinhold said. “The B-GLAD trial extended for additional testimony By Yi-Hsin Chang Senior Writer Members of Bisexuals, Gay men, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity testi fied in an open Honor Court trial that two former Student Congress members knowingly abused a position of trust and jeopardized the safety of B-GLAD members. Former congress members Darren Allen and Chris Tuck have been charged with distributing a confidential B GLAD meeting attendance list during congress’ budget hearings in March. Allen and Tuck pleaded not guilty to the charges. After more than five hours of testi mony by nine witnesses, the Honor Court recessed the case until 11 a.m. Friday.

SHS does not charge students for HIV testing. The state, rather than Stu dent Health, pays the lab costs. But Student Health must cover the costs of personnel time, which amounts to ap proximately $6,000 each year, Cowan said. “Six thousand dollars to SB,OOO a year is not a terribly expensive medical service,” Cowan said. “We want to put enough money in our budget for the program.” Cynthia Carsten, a sophomore from Charlotte and president of the Carolina AIDS Resources Ensemble, also is working to keep the program going. “We are organizing a petition because we want to make sure the program at Student Health remains there,” Carsten said. The petition, titled, “Petition to Con tinue AIDS/HIV Testing at Student Health Services” states: “We the undersigned are expressing our interest in continuing the current protocol for free, confidential AIDS testing at Student Health. As students at UNC-CH, we feel it is imperative that AIDS testing remains available.” See TEST, page 2 elected. “By misrepresenting a confidential attendance list from a B-GLAD meet ing, distributing that list and continuing to distribute that list after being asked to stop by B-GLAD members, Darren Allen andChrisTuckknowingly abused their positions as members of Student Congress,” Ferguson told the court. “I was very afraid that the members on the list would be endangered,” he said. “No one, not even a B-GLAD officer, is authorized to take the lists out of the B-GLAD office.” Ferguson testified that during the budget hearing Allen had asked if Ferguson could provide congress with a list of B-GLAD members. Ferguson said he had refused and said the list was confidential. Acting B-GLAD Co-chairman Trey Harris, who initially was not scheduled to testify, said he had seen Allen pass a See B-GLAD, page 11 working relationship between the transportation department and student government. “Basically, the major thing was the establishment of a good working rela tionship between the student body president and die director,” he said.
