N.C. Officials Evacuate
Ocracoke as Emily Nears
Officials ordered the evacuation of the
National Park Service campground on
Ocracoke Island on Sunday afternoon as

Romaine, S.C., to Fenwick Island, Del.
At 5 p.m. EDT Sunday, Emily was
about42omiles southeast of Cape Hatteras,
with winds of 80 mph. The storm center
was located at about 31.2 degrees north
latitude and 70.1 degrees west longitude,
and moving in a north-northwesterly di
rection.
Forecasters said gale force winds could
reach North Carolina by late Monday night.
Israel Close to Resolving
Long Conflict With PLO
JERUSALEM lsrael is on the verge
of recognizing the Palestine Liberation Or

decades of conflict, senior Israeli Cabinet
members and Palestinian officials said Sun
day.
Both sides could sign, within days, an
agreement in principle to implement Pal
estinian autonomy in the occupied territo
ries, starting with the Gaza Strip and the
West Bank town of Jericho, sources said.
“At this time all parties are cooking an
agreement,” said Azmi Shoaibi, a member
of the PLO committee that supervises the
negotiations. “It will include direct nego

Nigerian Election Winner
Returns From Brief Exile
LAGOS, Nigeria lt is a classic scene
replayed throughout history: A popular
figure returns from exile during a time of
crisis to claim power, either bringing peace
to the country or plunging it into blood
shed.
Moshood K.O. Abiola, the wealthy
businessman who apparently won the June
12 presidential election, is about to play
that role. He is preparing to end a three
week absence on Thursday and, he prom
ises, assume office.
“When M.K.O. comes home, nobody
will have a choice any more,” said Lagos
cabbie Ojo Gbenga. “He is who we elected
the president.”
Nigeria has been thrown off-balance by
recent political events. Babangida began
the crisis by voiding the June 12 presiden
tial election that, by all accounts, was won
overwhelmingly by Abiola.
Civil Rights March Raises
Questions of Leadership
WASHINGTON Two notices were
served on the civil rights movement at the
30th anniversary march on Washington:
The young may want to take over, but the
old aren’t ready to retire.
“We believe this march is not the bene
diction, but a rebirth, ” said Joseph Lowery,
70, president of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.
There was some talk that the
movement’s elders would “pass the torch”
of responsibility for social change at this
additional celebration of 1963 and the
dream of equality Martin Luther King Jr.
embossed on the nation’s psyche.
Yet on Saturday, fond remembrance
prevailed, and the old guard made it clear
that fond remembrance will endure.
“We’re going to celebrate the march on
Washington until there’s nothing left to
celebrate,” declared Benjamin Hooks, 68,
who retired from the NAACP and resur
faced at the helm of the Leadership Confer
ence on Civil Rights.

Bachnik said she was one of the highest

Bruce Winterhalder, anthropology de

UNC has lost numerous professors to

because Jason practiced in the spring.”

BCC Board Fails to Reach
Decision on Fund Raising
BY THANASSIS CAMBANIS
UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Despite talking to two members of the
Bicentennial Steering Committee during a
five-hour retreat Sunday afternoon, mem
bers of the Black Cultural Center Advisory
Board reached no decision on fund raising
for the proposed new center.
Harry Amana, chairman of the advi
sory board and associate professor of jour
nalism, said the board had called a meeting
for Tuesday to continue discussions about
incorporating BCC fund raising into the
Bicentennial Campaign.
“I would hope that after the steering
committee meeting there will be a recom
mendation to add us to the Bicentennial
Campaign,” Amana said.
Advisory board members met with Billy
Armfield, chairman of the Bicentennial
Steering Committee, and John Harris,
member of the steering committee, for two
hours.
But Armfield said further meetings were
necessary before the advisory board would
give him the go-ahead to lobby the Bicen
tennial Steering Committee. “We have to
have another meeting with the BCC Advi
sory Board,” Armfield said.

New Rules
Postpone
Financial
Aid Pay
BY JAMES LEWIS
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Changes in the Federal Student Aid
Program have wreaked havoc on the
University’s Student Aid Office and the
lives of students who depend on it.
Eleanor Morris, director of student aid,
said changes the U.S. Congress reautho
rized in the Federal Student Aid Program
last year had meant a lot of problems for
students and her staff.
Students have had to wait much longer
than usual for their money, which comes
in the form of scholarships, student aid and
loans.
“In 1992, Congress passed the biggest
changes they’ve ever passed,” she said.
“They changed the form, the delivery sys
tem how a student applies and what
happens to the application (and) the
formula to determine how much a family
should be able to pay.
“Nothing stayed the same.”
Morris said the data-processing support
staff had to change computer programs
used to process student aid applications.
The modifications reduced her ability to
deliver aid to students promptly, she said.
“We had maybe two to three months
notice that (the modifications) had to be
put into place, and there was just no way
that our office orthe data- processing office
could accommodate the kind of changes
that we had to be ready for, so students
have suffered,” she said.
“We were not able to process applica
tions fast enough we never have been
able to, but we certainly were behind. And
we are certainly not delivering as much
money as we usually do.”
Last year at this time, the office already
had given out about $4 million in student
aid. But this year, they have issued less
than $1 million, she said.
Bonnie Bechard, assistant director of
the student aid office for loan collections,
said the delays were putting many students
in financial jeopardy.
“We’ve had to quadruple the number of
emergency loans we do at this time,”
Bechard said. “That carries them over un
til they can get their aid.”
Heather O’Neill, a sophomore from
Chapel Hill, said the aid she received
through her Johnson Scholarship had been
cut and she had been recommended to the
loan program.
“I hope it’s a mistake, but they gave me
significantly less than they did last year,”
she said. But O’Neill said her financial
situation was unchanged.
O’Neill said she had personally appealed
to Morris in a letter and hoped to avoid
taking a loan. “I’ve written them a letter,
and hopefully they are going to review it,
and I will meet with them this week or
next.”
Morris said the biggest problem with
the new provisions was the change in the
Please See AID, Page 4
sory board, Armfield had said he hoped to
take a fund-raising proposal directly to the
steering committee.
“Based on the outcome of today’s meet
ing, we’ll bring it up at the Bicentennial
Steering Committee meeting on the 17th
of September,” Armfield said. “We would
add it to the Bicentennial goal, as a sub
committee of the Bicentennial Committee
