Records Outline Clinton's
Financial Ties to Thrift
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Most of the
$68,900 that President and Mrs. Clinton
say they put into the Whitewater real estate
venture involved interest on loans they
took out for the company and were subse
quently able to deduct from their personal
income taxes.
According to tax records and interviews
with Clinton advisers, the Clintons de
ducted at least $41,000 on tax returns from
1978 to 1988 for interest on loans for
Whitewater Development Cos. Inc.
The Clintons’ prime financial role at
Whitewater appears to have been paying
this interest for a money-losing company
they co-owned. And like most Americans
who make loan or mortgage payments,
they took the interest deductions.
Lorena Bobbitt Acquitted
Of Malicious Wounding
MANASSAS, Va. Lorena Bobbitt
was committed to a state mental hospital
for a psychiatric evaluation after a jury on
Friday found she was temporarily insane
when she cut off her husband’s penis with
a kitchen knife.
Defense lawyers had argued that Mrs.
Bobbitt was a battered wife seized by an
“irresistible impulse” to cut off her
husband’s penis on June 23 after he came
home from a night of drinking and raped
her. Prosecutors called Mrs. Bobbitt’s at
tack a calculated act of revenge.
Doctors, as required by Virginia law,
will decide if she poses a danger to herself
or others. They must report back to the
judge within 45 days.
Many Day-Care Centers
Unsanitary, Report Says
WASHINGTON Some children in
day-care centers and foster-care homes are
exposed to raw sewage, scalding-hot w;a
ter, household chemicals, insect infesta
tions and littered playgrounds, federal au
ditors say.
Auditors with the Department ofHealth
and Human Services’ inspector general’s
office say some preschool children might
also be spending their days with child-care
workers who have criminal backgrounds.
The findings were based on inspections
of 149 licensed day-care, foster-care and
Head Start programs in Nevada, Wiscon
sin, North Carolina, South Carolina, Dela
ware and Virginia.
An official of the inspector general’s
office, speaking on condition of anonym

ers surveyed had health or safety hazards..
Defeat of Reforms Leaves
Japanese Leader Hanging
TOKYO Officials from the govern
ing coalition set to work Saturday to find a
way to salvage political reforms —and
Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa’s job.
Hosokawa had staked his political fu
ture on the passage of the reforms, which
were rejected Friday by parliament’s upper
house in a 130-118 vote.
The setback means Hosokawa could
face President Clinton in a Washington
summit Feb. 11 as a lame duck if his fragile
coalition shatters.
It also means putting off work on an
emergency package to stimulate Japan’s
recessionary economy.
The package had passed the lower house
of parliament. It can still pass if a compro
mise version is agreed to by a conference
committee, or if the lower house passes it
by a two-thirds majority.
Clinton Ready for Tuesday
State of the Union Speech
WASHINGTON—President Clinton
plans to expand his anti-crime package
with the State of the Union address, sup
porting a “three-time loser” proposal to
put the most violent felons in jail for life,
administration officials said Sunday.
With polls showing crime as voters’ No.
1 concern, White House speech writers are
making sure Clinton’s tough-on-thugs plans
don’t get lost in Tuesday’s sweeping speech
to Congress.
The State of the Union address is ex
pected to review Clinton's first year in
office, set goals for 1994 and repeat his key
messages on a number of issues, including
health care, welfare, crime, economic re
form, education and foreign policy.

Carrboro Man Shot in McDonald’s
BYKELLYRYAN
CITY EDHOR
An argument over money ended vio
lently just before midnight Saturday when
a Carrboro man was shot in the chest near
the cash registers inside McDonald’s on
West Franklin Street.
Chapel Hill police apprehended a
Durham man one minute after the incident
occurred and still are trying to fill in the
details of the shooting.
Kenneth Minard, 23, of 102-B N.
Guthrie Ave. in Durham, was arrested at
11:47 p.m. and charged with one count of
assault with a deadly weapon with intent
to kill inflicting serious injury.
The self-employed salesman also was
charged with one count of careless and
reckless behavior for leaving the scene of
the crime and running toward Carrboro.

CAA Moves Dook Camp-Out Into Dean Dome
BY STEVE ROBBLEE
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
This year’s version of the traditional
camp-out for Duke basketball tickets met
with anew twist: Students used the gener
osity of Smith Center officials, rather than
alcohol, to keep warm.
Athletic department and Carolina Ath
letic Association officials decided to allow
students to stay inside the Dean Dome
Friday night to wait for tickets instead of
braving sub-freezing temperatures outside.
“It was the athletic department’s deci
sion,” said Todd Austell, co-director of
ticket distribution for the CAA. “Basically,
we had to do it. I guess it’s a liability issue.
I don’t know if it will ever happen again.
Hopefully, it won’t ever be that cold.”
Yet despite allowing campers inside for
Duke ticket distribution, University stu
dents still did not pick up all the available
tickets for the Feb. 3 game with the Blue
Devils, Austell said Sunday.
“About 200 to 300 tickets were not
picked up. They will be available (today)
starting at 8 a.m.,” Austell said. “There
never is enough people (for all the tick
ets).”
About 5,000 student tickets were avail
able for the Duke game after the pep band
and the Carolina Fever fan club received
their allotment, Austell said.
About2,4oopeople lined up before noon
Saturday to pick up tickets. Each student
could get up to two tickets provided they
had another student’s ID and athletic pass.
Many campers said they thought the
process went smoothly after 5 p.m., when
the line-up was scheduled to begin, but
before then probably hundreds of people
cut in line. CAA officials announced last
week that the distribution would not start
until 5 p.m. Friday, but Austell admitted
many people decided to form a line Friday
afternoon.
Dave Boyd, a sophomore from
Asheville, said he had planned to wait until
5 p.m. as the CAA requested, but decided
to line up early when he saw a line of2oo
- people there at about 3:45 p.m.
There were few people patrolling the
gathering before the 5 p.m. start, Boyd
said.
“They really didn’t do that good of a
job,” Boyd said. “Some friends of mine
were in the top 150 when they got there. By
the time they got numbers they were about
(number) 500."
Boyd ended up number 792.
More UNC Graduates Stay in School Than Find Jobs
BYLISA ROBBINS
STAFF WRITER
Seniors: Do you know what you are
doing after graduation?
You don’t have too many options, ac
cording to a survey comparison report pre
pared by the UNC Office of Institutional
Research.
Graduates at other colleges and univer
sities were more likely to be employed than
UNC graduates in 1990. But UNC degree
recipients were more than twice as likely to
be enrolled full-time in a graduate or pro
fessional program, according to the report.
The report compares the Employment
Survey of May 1990 Graduates at UNC
CH conducted by the University Career
Services Office at UNC and the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
survey, Occupational and Educational
Outcomes of Recent College Graduates
One Year After Graduation: 1991.
Because many UNC graduates go on to
a graduate program, the University’s em
ployment rate is lower in comparison to
rates at other schools, Tim Sanford, assis
tant provost and director of the Office of
Institutional Research, said
“It’s not that (UNC) graduates were less
hireable, but that they just wanted to go on
to graduate school,” said Sanford, who
organized the comparison report. “We
ing, Lt. (Robert) Frick drove by
McDonald’s and saw the suspect fleeing
the scene,” police Lt. Bobby Smith said
Sunday afternoon.
“He eventually caught the suspect on
Nunn Street.”
According to reports, Minard was ar
rested several blocks from McDonald’s on
Nunn Street near Sunset Drive.
An employee of McDonald’s, which is
located at 409 W. Franklin St., alerted
police of the incident.
The victim still was in serious condition
at 7 p.m. Sunday, according to UNC Hos
pitals spokeswoman Kathy Neal.
Neal said Shawn Baldwin, of Eugene
Street in Carrboro, had been transported to
the emergency room close to midnight
Saturday, suffering from a gunshot wound
to the chest.
Although details about the incident are
sketchy, Smith said police believed a re

A line-jumper tries to explain herself to Lt. Danny Caldwell while wa iting in line at the Duke ticket distribution Friday.
Security personnel spent most of the evening keeping people from j umping in line before numbers were handed out
“We got pushed into the upper level (by
people cutting in line), ’’ Boyd said. “It was
all basically who you knew.”
But once people got inside the Smith
Center, security tightened measurably. In

athletic department searched students’ gear
for alcohol, food or drink, which was not
allowed inside the building.

don’t want to make the claim that UNC is
better or worse based on these statistics.’’
The report shows that 67.1 percent of
UNC graduates had full-time employment
after graduation 6.7 percent less than
the employment rate of graduates from the
NCES survey.
However, 18.4 percent of UNC gradu
ates were enrolled in a graduate or profes
sional school full-time upon graduation,
while 8.5 percent of NCES graduates en
rolled in farther education.
Sanford said that differences in figures
can also be attributed to the fact that unlike
most of the schools in the NCES survey,
UNC has no engineering program and is
strong in the liberal arts.
Marcia Harris, director of University
Career Services, said she thought the com
parison of the studies was unfair because
UNC students were surveyed six months
after graduation and the other students
were surveyed after one year.
“It’s like comparing apples and or
anges, ” she said. “I have a very, very strong
hunch that the (seeking employment) fig
ure would be way down with more time. In
six more months, students could find jobs.”
Kim Douglas, a senior Spanish major,
said she found the employment figures
somewhat frustrating and knew that she
had to attend graduate school.
“With only a major in Spanish, there’s

mitting the crime.

Minard will appear in Chapel Hill 1 Dis

A small crowd gathered around the fast

Escaped
Convicts
Arrested
Two Nabbed in Alabama
After Leaving Gas Station
BYAMYPINIAK
ASSISTANT CflY EDITOR
Two Orange County Jail inmates who
escaped Friday were captured early Sun
day morning in Leeds, Ala., after a week
end cat-and-mouse chase through North
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
Leon Robert Wyatt, 22, of Durham,
and Michael Kevin Hensley, 22, of Chapel
Hill, were arrested by the Leeds Police
Department about 5 a.m. Sunday after
failing to pay for gasoline at a service
station. The men were apprehended fol
lowing a 45-minute car chase which began
near Birmingham, Ala.
According to a Leeds police spokes
man, detectives are handling the case, and
the two escapees currently are being held
in the Leeds City Jail with charges pend
ing.
Capt. Joe Dickey, who oversees the jail
for the Orange County Sheriff’s Depart
ment, said Sunday that Wyatt and Hensley
eventually would return to Hillsborough,
but he did not know when.
“First they’ve got to answer to the local
chargesin Alabama, "Dickey said. “Ithink
there are charges against them in Georgia
too, but I don’t know exactly what they
are. So it may take a while, but they’ll be
back here sometime.”
Before their escape, Wyatt was await
ing trial on a felony armed robbery charge,
and Hensley was being held on charges
that he assaulted Chapel Hill police offic
ers trying to arrest him for a traffic viola
tion.
Both now face charges of a misdemeanor
escape from Orange County Jail, felony
breaking and entering ofthe Orange County
School garage and felony larceny of an
Orange County vehicle, as well as addi
tional charges in Georgia and Alabama
from several law-enforcement agencies.
Wyatt and Hensley broke out of Orange
County Jail sometime after their 6 a.m.
breakfast Friday. They pried open a steel
panel that bridged their shower stall to the
brick wall of their second-story cell block.
The two crawled into the narrow opening
and climbed the water pipes to the roof.
The two inmates kicked loose the bars
blocking the roof area and the shingles to
crawl onto the roof. Authorities say the
two men were able to cross the roof to a
lower level and drop to the ground.
Dickey said he could not remember the
last time an inmate had escaped from the
jail. “I don’t think anything like this has
ever happened before,” he said.
The morning-shift jailers, who checked
the cells at 7 a.m., observed all nine of the
I-cell’s occupants to be sleeping, a com
mon practice after breakfast. The escapees
had wrapped blankets and pillows to m ake
it appear they were in their bunks, accord
ing to an Orange County Sheriff Depart
ment press release.
The I-cell is the only cell in the older
portion of the jail, built in 1925, that had
access to plumbing and did not have a TV
camera. Dickey said repairs were being
made to secure the area near the shower by
which the men escaped.
“We are taking extra precautions to
ensure that something like this will never
happen again,” he said. “We may also
install a TV camera if it can be used effec
tively.”
The escape was discovered at 11:30a.m.
Friday when jailers went to the I-cell to
round up inmates for lunch. Seven other I
cell inmates stayed put but did not alert
authorities to the breakout.
