UNC Among 4 Universities
To Be Featured on MTV's
Back-to*school Segments
UNC, along with three other universi
ties, will be the host of a series of MTV
segments on higher education.
This fall, MTV will take trips to four
college campuses to tape “veejay” seg
ments, said Chris Bonner, an editorial as
sistant for MTV.
“We got good response from our sum
mer at a beach house, so we decided that
since everyone goes back to school in fall,
we should too,” Bonner said.
MTV will visit three other colleges
the University of Wisconsin at Madison,
the University of California at San Diego
and San Diego State University for the
back-to-school series.
Production crews will film 30- to 45-
second video introduction segments at vari
ous points on the University campus Sept.
15-18.
“We are going to scope out the campus
the first couple days, and then set up in
various places to film our veejay segments,”
Bonner said.
“We’re going to talk to the students,
hang out on the campus, go to the football
game and, in general, do the college thing,”
he said.
Orange United Way Begins
Fund-Raising Season
United Way of Orange County kicked
off the fall fund-raising season Thursday
by sponsoring the “Celebration of Giving”
to involve Triangle residents in volunteer
ing.
The Triangle Factory Outlet Shops, lo
cated near Raleigh-Durham International
Airport, participated in the event by giving
some employees the day off to volunteer
with various agencies for the day.
Donations of food, school supplies and
clothing also were solicited.
“It’s more of a ‘let’s get started’ time of
year to get people volunteering, ” said Mary
Leigh Wallace, an intern for the Volunteer
Center of Orange County.
The Volunteer Center is located on the
second floor of Nationsßank Plaza in
Chapel Hill.
Wallace, who also is a senior speech
communication major from Lillington, said
students could visit the Volunteer Center
to find a volunteer job in one of many
nonprofit agencies in Orange County.
The center keeps a binder with a list of
organizations seeking volunteers.
Wallace said, “It’s a great way to get
involved in the community and give some
thing back.”
United Way serves nonprofit agencies
across the county.

BY JESSICA FRANK
STAFF WRITER
The 1992 Yackety Yack still is facing
major distribution problems nearly two
years after an embezzlement scandal cost
the UNC yearbook nearly $75,000.
The 1992 Yackety Yacks should be ready
by the end- of September, according to
Delmar Printing & Publishing, printers of
the 1992 book.
Leslye Lindler, editor of the 1993
Yackety Yack, said the bulk of energy at
that time was concentrated on keeping the
publication alive to ensure that there would
be future editions.

Accreditation by 1994 Is Goal
For University Police Aiming
To Be Among Nation’s Best
BY KELLY NEWTON
STAFF WRITER
Along with keeping peace and order
across campus, University Police has an
other goal— to be recognized as one of the
nation’s elite police forces.
University Police is undergoing a sys
tematic upgrade of their management pro
cedures, training and equipment in order
to become the first accredited college po
lice force in North Carolina.
Accredition means the police force meets
standards of excellence and efficiency de
veloped by police forces nationwide.
Only four college police forces have
been accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agen
cies, which oversees the accreditation pro
cess. The accreditation process is done on
a voluntary basis.
Maj. Robert Porreca, accreditation
manager for University Police, said ac
creditation would bring tremendous ben
efits to the police department and the com
munity.
“We (will) benefit by a smoother, better
designed operation,” Porreca said.
The department must comply with the
more than 800 CALEA standards to be
come accredited, he said.
The standards in 49 law-enforcement
topics set minimum standards for a variety
of issues such as management, budgeting,
equipment, promotions, victim assistance
programs and follow-up visits or calls.
The number of requirements a police
force must meet depends on its size, range
and function. University Policehas 54 staff
members.
Alana Ennis, director of University
Police, said she and the department would
scrutinize police procedures to make sure
they met CALEA’s requirements.
“Every facet of our (campus police)
agency will be examined,” Ennis said.
UNIVERSITY & CITY
ness manger, was convicted of embezzle
ment in August 1992 and placed on proba
tion for 10 years. He is required to pay SSOO
monthly until the money is paid back.
Lindler said the 1992 book “got put
aside” while the staff devoted its energies
to a reorganization that would prevent
further scandals.
Howard Brubaker, director of the Stu
dent Activity Fund Office, said the delay in
distributing the 1992 yearbooks could not
be blamed solely on the embezzlement
scandal. “There’s more involved,” he said.
The issue of how the embezzled money
would be paid back was resolved in May
1992 with help from the student govern
ment discretionary fund, Brubaker said.
When the department feels it has met
the standards, a team of experts will be
called in to evaluate the department.
If University Police meets all the re
quirements, CALEA will grant a five-year
accreditation, during which time all regu
lations and standards must be enforced.
Porreca said the police force essentially
would be evaluated by leaders in law en
forcement at the municipal level.
Procedural and operational standards
prescribed by CALEA have been deter
mined to be the best in modem municipal
law enforcement, Porreca said.
The department’s goal is to be accred
ited before the end of 1994, he said.
But the timing depends on equipment
conditions, budgeting and conflicting regu
lations the department has to work out,
Porreca said.
The process can take 18 months to two
years to complete.
CALEA was created by the Interna
tional Association of Chiefs of Police, the
National Sheriff’s Association, the Na
tional Organization ofßlackLaw Enforce
ment Executives and the Police Executive
Research Forum to recognize and pro
mote excellent police forces across the coun
try.
Only 215 police forces nationwide have
met or exceeded CALEA’s stringent stan
dards, he said.
Ennis and Porreca both said they be
lieved accreditation would instill pride and
a sense of belonging to the officers of the
department. University Police will have
the right to display a national accreditation
symbol on the police cars, and as such will
be recognized as a department of excel
lence, Porreca said.
He said, “Besides, it’s a neat logo.”

Although schools all across the country
operate independent student yearbooks,
few have had embezzlement problems.
Lisa Mullins, editor-in-chief of the
Ensian at the University of Michigan, said
it would be almost impossible for a student
to embezzle money from the publication.
“Finances are closely watched by both
an administrative board and a building
manager,” she said.
When someone on staff makes a pur
chase , the receipt must always be signed by
the building manager, who is not a student,
Mullins said.
“We have editorial freedom, but not
total operating freedom,” she said.

Chapel Hill Gun Ban Wouldn’t
Slow Rising Violent-Crime Rate

There are no gun shops in Chapel Hill.
Or Carrboro.
But after two Chapel Hill Town Coun
cil public hearings on gun control, some
Triangle gun shop owners said Thursday
that handgun sales had increased and that
a ban would not curb the town’s rising
crime rate.
Don Hill Sr., owner of Don Hill’s Lock
and Gun Shop in Durham, said more
people than usual had purchased guns in
the past few days. Handgun purchases
made up about 75 percent of Hill’s sales.
“The decent citizen uses guns only to
protect himself. The criminal uses guns
only for his benefit,” Hill said.
Although only about 50 percent of the
sales at Durham's Triangle Gun Shop are
handguns, employee Larry Burnette said
the talk of gun control in Chapel Hill had
not affected his sales.
“People that commit crimes either steal
guns or buy them on the streets,” Burnette
said.

Brent Inscoe, current business manager
of the Yack, said the new provisions took
a lot of stress offthe position. “You can’t be

one is governing your actions,” he said.
Lindler said an effort had been made to
control the publication’s expenditures. No
money is given without proof of how it is
being spent, she said.

fers from state to state, but gun shop own
ers said North Carolina had had a waiting
period since 1940.
To buy a handgun in North Carolina, a
customer must be at least 21 years old and
a state resident. A customer also has to
apply for a permit from the county in
which he or she lives.
. Obtaining a permit costs $5 in Durham
and Orange counties after the local sheriff’s
department does a background check on
the interested customer.
The screening process takes between
seven and 10 days.

edition, said all money matters went
through the Office of Student Activities.
“Someone would definitely be able to
get some money," she said. “People just
have to be a bit more careful who they
chose as student leaders.”
Although finances are not closely
watched by faculty at the University of

the Tower yearbook, said it would be diffi

The Orange County Sheriff’s Depart

references to find out how long the refer

and whether there would be any reason
why a handgun should not be issued.
If there is a problem with anything in the
background or reference check, a handgun
is not issued.
Hill said a ban would not affect how
many guns were involved in crime in
Chapel Hill. “With a ban, criminals will
feel free to steal your T V. while you’re
watching it.” 1
“The solution (to the increase in vio
lence) is simple as pie. Capital punishment
is the only answer,” he said.
Sharyn Duke, owner of Armory Arms
in Durham, said that although 85 percent
of her sales were in handguns, she did not
sell guns to people she thought could be a
threat to society.
“Sales are going up because people can
still buy handguns,” she said.
“I see a lot of teenagers coming into my

out on the street to buy them.”
