There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The magnitude 5.3 quake was centered in the San Fernando Valley, about six Life Disrupted by Sunday's Shock See Page 5 miles east of the epicenter of the earthquake that struck Northridge on Jan. 17. It struck at about 1:20 p.m. and lasted about 30 seconds. The quake was felt widely in Los Ange les County as well as Orange, Riverside, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. It interrupted a rehearsal for Monday’s Acad emy Awards at the Dorothy Chandler Pa vilion downtown. U.S. Prepares to Impose Sanctions on North Korea WASHINGTON —The United States may initiate sanctions against North Ko rea because of that country’s recalcitrance on nuclear weapons, Secretary of State Warren Christopher said Sunday. But President Clinton said there still was “some hope” that North Korea would allow inspections of its nuclear sites and avoid international sanctions. “There appear to be people within North Korea that want to proceed to normaliza tion of their country's relations with the international community and people who don’t,” Clinton said. Christopher also said the government would be talking to South Korea about basing Patriot missiles there and reviving large joint military exercises that were to have been postponed as a gesture of good will to North Korea. El Salvadorans Go to Polls For First Time Since War SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador Voters lined up for blocks Sunday to choose a president for the first time since the dev astating civil war ended in 1992. Opinion polls showed the front-runners in the seven-way presidential race to be arch-conservative Armando Calderon Sol and Ruben Zamora, leader of a leftist coa lition that includes the guerrillas who fought in the 12-year war. If no candidate gets more than half the vote, there will be a runoff between the top two in April. The winner, the first civilian president elected in peacetime since 1930, will take office for five years beginning June 1. Vot ers also were selecting a vice president, an 84-member National Assembly and 262 municipal governments. Conservatives Maintain Power in French Election PARIS —Despite high unemployment, France’s conservatives held their ground in local elections Sunday that were the first major ballot test for Premier Edouard Balladur. The results were likely to provide a boost for Balladur whose approval rating had fallen below 50 percent in recent weeks while he retreated from austerity policies amid social unrest. Early returns gave the conservative coa lition 45 percent of the vote and the left a total of about 40 percent. Sunday’s vote would not have changed the conservatives’ crushing majority in the National Assembly, but it could have caused trouble for Balladur by encourag ing dissent within his coalition. Southern Humorist Dies After Heart Complications ATLANTA—Lewis Grizzard, whose down-home humor in columns and books such as "Daddy Was a Pistol and I’m a Son of a Gun” delighted and sometimes en raged readers, died Sunday. He was 47. Grizzard had a history of heart trouble, including four operations, the most recent one Friday at Emory University Hospital. He never regained consciousness before he died in the intensive care unit, a hospital statement said. The surgery led to exten sive brain damage, hospital officials said. Grizzard wrote a column four days a week for The Atlanta Journal-Constitu tion and also was syndicated in 450 news papers across the country.

Boston College Shocks No. 1 UNC Tar Heels Can’t Extend 13-Year Sweet 16 String BY STEVE POUTI SENIOR WRITER LANDOVER, Md. Mark it down: At 4:30 p.m. on March 20,1994, hell froze over. The North Carolina Tar Heels, a team so accustomed to marching through March each season, suffered one of the biggest upsets in the program’s rich history Sunday, a 75-72 loss to Boston College in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. For the first time since 1980, March is not sweet for North Carolina. UNC had made 13 straight appearances in the Sweet 16, and was heavily favored to extend that streak to 14. But Boston College was the better team Sunday, surviving a furious North Carolina second-half run with an unrelenting attack from 3-point range and a physical or, to use UNC’s terminology, dirty interior defense. “There are a lot of tears in that locker room, ” head coach Dean Smith said. Tears and disbelief. North Carolina, defendingNCAA champs, No. 1 in both the preseason and postseason polls, a team with perhaps more talent than any other team in the country, made UNC’s earliest exit in the tournament since a 1980 double overtime loss to Texas A&M 78-61. And UNC barely survived its first round opponent, needing a second-half surge to top 16th seeded Liberty 71-51 Friday afternoon. “Our attitude the last two games was just pitiful,” senior forward Kevin Salvadori said. “There’s no reason why we should have played the way we played in the last two games. Boston College played a great game, but I think we beat ourselves.” The 18,922 fans at the USAir Arena watched as the Eagles, who led 42-34 at the break, hit back-to-back 3-pointers to open a 50-36 lead with 17:35 left in the second half. UNC needed someone to take charge. Senior point guard Derrick Phelps, who has assumed the leadership role all season for the Tar Heels, drew a charge to fire up the UNC bench. Just a minute later, Phelps stole the ball away from BC guard Malcolm Huckaby and dribbled down the court for an apparent easy layup. But Eagle forward Danya Abrams sent Phelps crash ing to the hardwood to stop the shot and was whistled for the Please See MEN’S BASKETBALL, Page 9 Students to Rally for More Representation BYPHUONGLY ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR Student leaders are staging a rally at noon Wednesday to urge UNC Board of Trustees Chairman Johnny Harris to add more students to the chancellor search committee. The coalition of about 13 studentgroups might present a petition of about 4,000 signatures to Harris on Thursday when the committee searching for Chancellor Paul Hardin’s replacement meets for the first time, Student Body President Jim Copland said. Representatives of the coalition say they’re not giving up hope, although Har ris has refused student leaders’ requests Jaworsky Takes 2nd NCAA Tide BYJACSONLOWE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina has enjoyed its share of great athletes overthe past century. Names such as Jordan, Waldorp, and Walsh will always stand out in the historic past of Tar Heel athletics. It is now time to add the surname of Jaworsky to that heralded list. T. J. Jaworsky made history Saturday at the Smith Center when he captured his second consecutive wrestling national championship in the 134-pound division. He is the first two-time champion in the program’s history. “I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity and blessing just to be able to perform and give it my best for North Carolina and my fans here,” Jaworsky said. “The fans did a great job of carrying me through the finals, because I was tired. ” The junior from Edmond, Okla., gave the home-standing crowd plenty to cheer about in his 12-4 major decision over Or egon State’s Babak Mohammadi. Jaworsky took Mohammadi down for the first time at 2:06 in the first period and never looked back. In the second, he man aged two more takedowns but allowed Mohammadi to escape twice, pushing the score to 6-2 going into the third period. “I just felt like I had to score first and take control of the match, ” the UNC junior said. “I got hit for stalling in the second period, and I knew it was going to be a long third period. And that’s why I figured I’d have to set the tone of the match and get out early.” Jaworsky did indeed get out early, with I wasn’t looking to impress anybody. I just wanted to win. T.J.

Organizers hope the rally will show Harris and those on the search committee that there is positive support for the addi tion of more students to the committee, Johnston said.

The coalition has requested that six stu dents be added to the committee, which would make student representation ap proximately equal to that of faculty and trustees. Members of the coalition have said stu dents need to have a significant voice in the process because the new chancellor will have a direct impact on campus life and on the quality of education at UNC. They have also complained of Hardin’s “inac cessibility” to students. When Duke University chose its presi dent, one-third of the search committee was made up of students, Copland said. Copland said he and Battle would at When it was all over, Mohammadi and not the official—held Jaworsky’s arm up in victory.

The coalition has not yet made definite plans on what it will do if Harris still refuses to add more students to the com mittee after seeing the petitions, said Copland, adding that he assumes that Harris has not changed his mind. Efforts to reach Harris this weekend were unsuccessful. Regardless of Harris’ decision on whether to include more students on the committee, the group should includepeople who are receptive to student concerns, Copland has said. “We’ll wait and see what happens,” he said. “Hopefully, there will be a recognition of student concern, given the rally and given the petition drive.” 4 Submit Applications For DTH Editor Post BY MARTY MINCHIN SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR Four candidates have turned in applica tions for the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel. Steven Boussios, Peter Roybal, Kelly Ryan and Holly Stepp will interview for the position Saturday before a selection board composed of eight at-large students and three DTH staff members. The DTH Board of Directors selected the at-large members Friday from a pool of 20 appli cants, and the DTH staff will elect a desk editor, an assistant desk editor and a staff writer to the board Wednesday. The names of the at-large members will not be released until after the board selects the next editor, said DTH Editor Yi-Hsin Chang. “It’s not that we’re trying to be secretiveormysterious. Wejustdon’twant the at-large members to be subjected to outside pressure or political influences.” Three of the four candidates have previ ous experience working for the DTH. Boussios, a freshman journalism major from New York City, has no experience at the DTH, but has worked for his high school newspaper and The Asheville Citi zen-Times. Boussios also works as a pro fessional novelist and plans to have a novel published next year. Boussios said he decided to apply for the DTH editorship because he had a lot of experience in journalism and wanted to make a career in journalism. Boussios also recently ran unsuccessfully for Student Congress. “Because I’m a professional writer as well, my time is worth a lot to me,” he said. “If I’m editor of the DTH, that means I’m not writing next year. I wouldn’t be willing to do that for a different position (at the News/Features/Arts/Sports 962-0245 Business/Advertising 962-1163 C 1994 DTH Publishing Crap. All rights reserved. Congress Allocates $178,487 BY MARY BETH MAURIELLO STAFF WRITER After 15 houis of debate this weekend, StudentCongressallocatedsl7B,47B.ol to 29studentgroupsandcompletely defunded one. Victory Village Day Care Center had requested $20,360 for scholarships for 14 children of UNC students. The finance committee recommended an allocation of $14,360, but congress defunded the organization Sunday. “We were all skeptical of the appropria tion, but we wanted more time to review it,” said Rep. Wayne Rash, Dist. 17, chair man of the finance committee. Rep. Steve Proctor, Dist. 17, made the motion to defund the day care center. The amendment passed 17-0 with two absten tions. Student activity funds should not be used to benefit such a small percentage of the student body, said Rep. Andrew Cohen, Dist. 6. “This is something for another sector of the University to focus on,” said Rep. Joey Stansbuiy, Dist. 11. After heated debate Saturday about UNC’s gay organization’s status as a po litically partisan group, congress defunded Lambda, the publication ofßisexuals, Gay men, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity. After B-GLAD requested $1,567 for Lambda, the finance committee recom mended that funding for the publication be eliminated. Congress upheld the recom mendation, a deviation from previous years. Co-chairwoman-elect Dawn Prince said she was startled by the decision. “Lambda is the longest-standing gay publication in the South, ” she said, adding that B-GLAD would try to print Lambda as a newsletter. Congress allocated $955 to B-GLAD, $125 more than the finance committee recommended. The additional money was appropriated for fund-raising. Rep. John Phillippe, Dist. 18, said the fund-raising money was an effort to com pensate for other budget cuts. B-GLAD originally had requested $3,082. In other business, congress allocated $987.50 to The Carolina Review, a conser vative magazine. The magazine had origi nally requested $5,500. “This publication should be self-sup porting,” said Rep. Andrew Cohen, Dist. 6. Stansbury said The Carolina Review could not support itself without alloca tions for postage and telephone. The pub lication depends largely on donations from Please See BUDGET, Page 5 DTH).” Boussios said he thought his experience working with other newspapers made him well qualified for the position. “I’m very, very familiar with the way newspapers work. Itwouldn’ttakemuchatallformeto become familiar with the ways the DTH is idiosyncratic.” In his platform, Boussios said the most important change he would implement as DTH editor would be to change the “tone” of the newspaper and implement more minority viewpoints into die newspaper when logical and possible. Peter Roybal, a sophomore political science major from Newark, Del., has worked for the DTH for two years and currently is the design coordinator for Di versions, the DTH’s weekly arts and enter tainment section. Roybal said he considered himself a candidate with a unique perspective on the DTH because he was familiar with the day-to-day operations of the newspaper but also was involved in other campus groups and could bring those experiences to the position of editor. Roybal said he did not apply for the editorship because he was interested in pursuing a career in journalism, but be cause he wanted to bring changes to the newspaper. “I’m not doing it to build a resume,” he said. “I’m dissatisfied with the paper as a political actor. My major critique of it is there’s not enough attention paid to the internal values of the paper—why people are there and what their personal goals are.” Kelly Ryan, a junior journalism and political science major from Calabasas, Please See EDITOR, Page 5
