Temporarily Stops Vital Aid Flights to Bosnia SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina Aid flights to Sarajevo were suspended Sunday after a French officer was wounded in a hail of bullets across the airport run way, a U.N. official said. It was not immediately clear who fired the shots because both government and Serb positions fronted the runway. With most land supplies cut off, the airlift is crucial to feed Sarajevo’s citizens. U.N. spokesman Lt. Col. Bill Aikman said the French officer and others were getting ready to board a routine U.N. flight to Zagreb when the shots rang out. The officer, who was not identified, was wounded in the arm and evacuated, he said. Flights were canceled for the rest of the day, Aikman said. Empty Norwegian Tanker Explodes at Trinidad Port PORT-OF-SPAlN,Trinidad - A Nor wegian oil tanker undergoing repairs ex ploded Sunday, killing at least two people and leaving three others missing and pre sumed dead, authorities said. Samuel Brewster, a welder from Trinidad, and another man, who was not identified immediately, were killed when the Lady Oslo exploded Sunday morning at a port in the Ghaguarama region in northwestern Trinidad. Flames engulfed the tanker shortly after the explosion, but firemen quickly extin guished them, authorities said. Twenty-four people were aboard the ship, which had been sitting in the water for four days undergoing repairs for a leaky tank. The tanker was not carrying any oil at the time of the explosion. Protesters March in Haiti, Demand New President PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Buoyed by the failure of a U.N. plan to return President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power on schedule, about 200 rightists marched Sunday to demand his replacement. Other rightists considered a “constitu tional coup” that would bar Aristide from office and replace him with a Supreme Court justice, although a leading official in the former Duvalier dictatorship emerged Sunday to demand power within the Aristide-backed transition government. “Arrest Malval! Arrest Malval! Aristide’s in deep trouble! ” the demonstra tors, referring to Aristide’s prime minister, chanted outside the vacant National Pal ace in tune to “Fanner in the Dell.” Newspaper: U.S. Refused Part in Plot to Kill Hussein LONDON The United States re fused to support a plot by Iraqi dissidents to kill Saddam Hussein and might have be trayed the cotip plotters, The Sunday Times of London reported. The newspaper quoted a London-based Iraqi dissident, Sa’ad Jabr, as saying that CIA agents and Iraqis discussed the plot at meetings in London last November. After months of silence, the Clinton administration said it would not back the plot because the turmoil could endanger the peace process, The Sunday Times said. Jabr said he suspected someone con nected with the Americans betrayed the operation, because all 10 officers on the list given to the CIA were arrested. The news paper said American officials confirmed the talks had taken place. Egyptians Release Student After Five Years in Prison CAIRO, Egypt A medical student from Michigan who was j ailed in Egypt for almost five years as a U.S. spy spent his first weekend of freedom back home. Fam ily and friends surrounded Sarny Wassef on Saturday, his first full day of freedom. The family said Sarny was freed after moves by the Clinton administration and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., including talks during Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s visit to Washington. Wassef s ordeal began in 1988, when he was arrested at Cairo University, where he was studying medicine. Nine months later he was convicted of espionage in a 90- minute trial in which no defense witnesses appeared, and the 26-year-old was not al lowed to speak on his own behalf.

Dick Vitale Week’s Activities Promote Rape Awareness, Defense BY MARISSA JONES STAFF WRITER Members of four campus groups have planned events addressing a variety of con cerns for UNC’s annual Rape Awareness Week. The week starts with tonight’s “Take Back the Night” march, organized by the Campus Y group People Organized for Women’s Empowerment and Rights, or POWER. Victim told story of rape by brother* in-law in 1981 See page 8 March Coor dinator Michelle Sinnott, a senior from Durham, said the evening would begin at 6:30 p.m. with a rally in the Pit. Participants will march from 7-7:45 p.m., and feminist folk-singer Tracy Drach will give a free concert at 8:00 p.m., she said. POWER co-chairwoman Katie Hultquist, a sophomore from San Fransisco, said the purposes of the march are to promote awareness of sexual vio lence against women and to encourage change. Susan Covington, POWER co-chair woman and a junior from Greensboro, said, “There’s either a lack of awareness or an all-consuming apathy on this campus.” But she said she thought most students were unaware rather than apathetic and hopes the week will help remedy the prob lem. The Tracy Drach concert after the march is being sponsored by the Critical Issues Committee of the Carolina Union Activi ties Board. Chairman Michael Klompas, a junior from Toronto, said he thought it appropri- serve two years the time left from the unexpired terms of former council mem bers Roosevelt Wilkerson and Joe Herzenberg.

Making Chapel Hill Safe Following a rash of gun-related crimes this summer, including the morning killing UNC Officials: Bonds Would Cut Overcrowding BY KIRK ROYAL STAFF WRITER N.C. voters can determine much of the University’s future when they vote on the $3lO million University Improvement Bond Referendum Tuesday. Over $35 million of the funds raised through the bonds will come to UNC if the referendum passes. The university bonds are part of a $740 million bond package that also includes money forN.C. commu nity colleges and state parks and for water Make It 75: Women Keep Streak Alive BY JILL WEST STAFF WRITER The women’s soccer team closed Chap ter One of its 1 993 season Sunday with a 4- 1 victory against William & Mary at Fetzer Field. The last regular season game marked the Tar Heels’ 75th consecutive win and closed out a third-straight undefeated season. No. 1 UNC is 17-0. Women's Soccer UNC 4 William & Mary 1 Chapter Two, postseason play, begins next weekend with the ACC tournament in Raleigh. Despite playing without its injured top scorer, Natalie Meeton, the Tribe played a physical game that was dominated by the midfield. But in a battle of midfielders, UNC is likely to win. Junior midfielder Tisha Venturini, who is recovering from a foot injury, was often the starting point for the Tar Heels’ offen sive attack. Venturini, who is still recovering from a broken foot that sidelined her for almost a Please See SOCCER, Page 11 ate that the concert be outside. The concert is a way to proclaim that everyone has the right to feel safe outside, he said. “It has a strong symbolic value for me,” he said. The Critical Issues Committee is also sponsoring self-defense demonstrations 7:00 p.m. Tuesday in Great Hall, Klompas said. The first part of the program will consist of demonstrations by students from the Durham-based group Safe Skills, which of fers comprehen sive courses in self-defense tech niques. During the second part, Angela Kasson from Chapel Hill Tae Kwon Do, will facili tate an hour-long workshop in which the audience will be able to try various self defense moves, Klompas said. On Wednesday, members of Rape Ac tion Project will sponsor a Date and Ac quaintance Rape Workshop at 7 p.m. The location of the workshop has not been announced. RAP co-chairwoman Jenny Y oungblood, a junior from Siler City, said that the workshop would be the first campuswide program organized by RAP, but that the group has run similar work shops for smaller audiences. Youngblood said it was important to educate students about date and acquain tance rape because of its prevalence at UNC and other schools. “So many times people get all caught up in the sensationalism of stranger rape, but Please See AWARENESS, Page 7 of a jogger on Estes Drive, both the town council and council candidateshave turned most of their attention to making Chapel Hill safe again. Although most said they supported stricter gun-control measures, candidates said the council could not use a short sighted approach to curbing crime.

Residents will vote on each issue separately. Theodore Oldenburg, assistant dean of the Dental School, said the School of Den tistry would benefit significantly from the bond issue if it passed.

Instead, these student groups will take a walk around campus. No clever ploys; no devious plans. A simple walk will do. The Take Back the Night march is a symbolic effort to show attackers that the nighttime fear of violence no longer will be allowed to control innocent people’sactions, march organizers said. “The march is part of Rape Aware ness Week,” said Michelle Sinnott, march coordinator. “It symbolizes a night when women and men can walk alone without fearing violence.” Organizers said they expected marchers to turn out in greater num bers this year in response to the community’s heightened awareness of the potential for being victimized especially women. This growing concern spurred gradu ate student Jessica Fields to join in the 1992 Take Back the Night march. “Last year was when it was really madecleartome,” she said. She vividly remembers hearing about an assault on Please See MARCH, Page 8 “(But) I think people are tired of reading about it in the newspapers and want to feel safer.” Waldorf, who successfully petitioned the council to amend its budget to pay for more police officers, said she supported legally enforceable gun-control measures. “My only reservation is that I don’t want people to think we can pass gun-control measures, and the problem will be licked,” she said. “It won’t.” Jeff Snyder, a former Chapel Hill police Please See COUNCIL, Page 8 Dentistry is far too limited for the more than 60,000 patients served each year.
