Alabama Twna4a Caws In
Roof of Church, Kiffiag 17
PIEDMONT, Ala.—A tornado caved
in the roof of a church crowded with Palm
Sunday worshipers, lolling 17 people. Two
other people diedasaseriesof twisters and
violent thunderstorms tore through the
Southeast.
A brick wall collapsed on a pew of
children wearing their new Easter outfits
and waiting to sing as part of a pageant
when the tornado roared through the
church at about 11:30 a.m.
About 140 people were in the church
five miles north of Piedmont, in eastern
Alabama. Rescuers had feared others were
buried, but all were accounted for after
more than 100 searchers dug through the
rubble and a crane lifted off the roof.
Settlers Vow to Resist Ban
On Rally at Massacre Site
JERUSALEM Jewish settlers said
Sunday that they would defy an army ban
and rally this week in Hebron, site of last
month’s massacre of 30 Palestinians.
Israel’s foreign minister hinted that the
settlers would eventually be forced to leave
the West Bank town.
The settlers’ pledge followed a weekend
of clashes between settlers and soldiers
around Hebron. Six settlers were arrested
Saturday when they tried to push through
army barriers, and five were detained when
they fired in response to being stoned.
The army’s new tough stance against
the settlers contrasts sharply with its earlier
hands-offpolicy. Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres said Sunday that peaceful co-exist
ence between Hebron’s 120,000 Palestin
ians and 400 Jewish settlers had become
impossible after the Feb. 25 massacre in
which a settler killed 30 worshipers in a
Hebron mosque.
Government Forces Attack
Serbs in northern Bosnia
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Government forces attacked Serb fighters
in northern Bosnia on Sunday, prompting
the Serb leader to threaten a counterattack
and a hardened negotiating stance.
Bosnian radio claimed government
forces had captured key Bosnian Serb po
sitions near Maglaj, killing 70 Serb fight
ers, and were advancing. There was no
confirmation of the report.
On Friday, U.N. peacekeepers de
stroyed a Sob bunker near Maglaj, 50
miles north of Sarajevo, after a seven-hour
battle. A few days earlier, Bosnian Serbs
looted an aid convoy headed for Maglaj.
The Serbs control about 70 percent of
Bosnia’s territory.
Palestinian Groups Meet
Witii Gadhafi About Israel
CAIRO, Egypt Palestinian groups
opposed to the Middle East peace talks say
they will continue to fight for the destruc
tion oflsrael and the return of Jerusalem to
Arab rule. Leaders of 10 so-called
“rejectionist” groups made the statement
after meeting Saturday with Moammar
Gadhafi in the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
Although Gadhafi had pledged to es
chew terrorism, he announced in Decem
ber that two of the world’s most wanted
men, terrorists Abu Nidal and Ahmed
Jibril, were welcome in Libya.
Most of the Palestinian group are part
of a Syrian-based, hard-line alliance that
has pledged to fight the Arab-Israeli peace
talks underway since 1991.

UNC Advances to Ist Final Four
BY ZACHARY ALBERT
SENIOR WRITER
PISCATAWAY, N.J. —When Tonya
Sampson went to the foul line with UNC
up 11 points and 22.9 seconds remaining in
the East Regional final, she smiled at the
crowd and held four fingers aloft.
Packyourbags for Richmond. The Tar
Heels are Final Four-bound.
North Carolina advanced to the NCAA
tournament semifinals for the first time in
school history with a solid, 81-69 win
against top-seeded Connecticut atthe Louis
Brown Athletic Center.
UNC improved to 31-2 on the year,
while the Huskies’ season ended at 30-3.
For the Tar Heels, the win made all the
sweat and pain worth the effort.
“Todaywas m .
a result of a lot "® B 1 MStttMH
of hard work,” UNL 81
said UNC Connecticut 69
head coach Sylvia Hatchell. “I’m just so
proud of these young ladies and how hard
they worked to be where they are.
“We’re just not content. We want two
more games.”
In the end, there was no bigger motiva
tor than Sampson. UNC’s senior guard
exploded for 30 points against UConn en
route to recognitionasEastßegionalMost
Valuable Player.
Sampson went 11 of 21 from the field,
including 4 of 9 from the 3-point arc, and
also pulled down seven boards, despite a
much taller UConn frontcourt.
“There was no plan because we don’t
have a person who can play her,” said
HuskyheadcoachGeno Auriemma. “The
only plan, we thought, was not to let her
get going. We did a real good job of that for
30 minutes.”
From the get-go, the emotional scale
tilted far in UNC’sfavor. UConn appeared
tightly wound, while the Tar Heels came
out loose.
But the determination kicked in when it
had to in the second half, when North
Carolina trailed by as many as seven points.
UNC seniors Sampson and Sylvia Crawley
wouldn’t let their team lose.
“In the second half, IgrabbedSampson’s
jersey and said, ‘Do you want this to be the
last time you wear this jersey?”’ Crawley
said after the game. “She looked me right
in the eye and said ‘No.’ Just the look on
her face I knew we were going to win
this game.”
But in the second half, the Tar Heels
found themselves down 49-42 with 17:10
to play. Then Sampson rallied the troops.
Sampson popped a 3-pointer from die
top of the key, then forced a steal on
UConn’s next possession. The 5-foot-9
senior converted the layup on the other
end with a fancy scoop between two de
fenders.
The two teams traded baskets before
Sampson swiped another steal for an easy
deuce to knot the score at 51.

Trustees Vote to Increase
Fees for Students, Parking
BY HOLLY STEPP
UNIVERSITY EDITOR
UNC’s Board of Trustees voted Friday
to increase student fees by about SBO for
most undergraduates; other fees approved
include a SSOO “quality fee” for master’s
students at the Kenan-Flagler Business
School.
The increased fees, which were pro
posed by the chancellor’s student fee com
mittee, are about 12.4 percent higher than
this year’s fees and will cover the actual
costs of maintaining some University pro
grams, said Wayne Jones, vice chancellor
for business and finance.
BOT Vice Chairwoman Annette Wood
said the board should not be overly con
cerned about the increase in fees because
UNC ranked well in comparison to other
UNC-system schools.
“We need to be concerned each time we
raise fees, but we also need to be realistic, ”
Wood said.
“UNC ranks 13th among other UNC
schools in terms of the amount of fees
collected," she said.
UNC-Greensboro collects $B7l in fees
(the most in the UNC system), which in
cludes a $235 athletic fee. UNC charges
$573 in fees, including a S6O athletic fee.
Only three UNC-system schools have
lower fees than UNC. They are Winston-
Salem State University, Pembroke State
University and Fayetteville State Univer
sity.
The fee increases come from a variety of
areas, including an educational and tech
nology fee, an athletic fee and the student

I think the win came down to whoever had the biggest heart.

Board to Vote
On Admissions
Policy Changes
BY HOLLY STEPP
UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Students admitted to UNC with
scores beneath the University’s admis
sions standards no longer would be
known as exceptions if the Board of
Trustees approves a plan, drafted by
Chancellor Paul Hardin, in May.
Hardin’s plan will eliminate the re
quired floors for admission into the
University and no longer will require
the University to identify students as
academic exceptions to (hose numeri
cal standards.
“Many of us around this table have
noticed that this differs from the under
graduate admissions policies of most
peer institutions and from our own poli
cies for admission to graduate and pro
fessional schools at Carolina,” Hardin
told the board at its meeting Friday in
the Morehead Planetarium.
The board, which wanted more time
to study the changes, decided to delay
any decision. The policy would take
effect as soon as the board votes on it
and would not affect any students al
ready admitted into the University.

Ryan Picked As Next DTH Editor
BY MARTY MINCHIN
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR
After more than an hour of deliberation
Saturday, the 1994 Daily Tar Heel editor
selection board chose junior Kelly Ryan as
the next DTH editor by a vote of 10-1.
“My initial reaction was one of com
plete shock and excitement,” said Ryan,
who currently serves as DTH city editor.
“After I got the phone call, the first thing I
thought was ‘God, now everything starts.’”
Sophomore Holly Stepp, DTH Univer
sity editor; sophomore Peter Roybal, de
sign coordinator for Diversions the
DTH’s weekly arts and entertainment sec
tion; and freshman Steven Boussios also
applied for the position.
The selection board was composed of
eight at-large students and a Din desk
editor, an assistant desk editor and a staff
writer. The DTH Board of Directors chose
the at-large members from a pool of 21
applicants, and the DTH staff voted for its
representatives Wednesday night.
In an official statement released by the
selection board, the members said they
voted for Ryan because of her experience
and her ideas for changing the newspaper.
“We believe that Kelly’s outstanding
vision, experience and performance as city
desk editor make her the most qualified
applicant.... Through creating an atmo
sphere of learning at the paper and return
ing what she calls ‘heart and personality’ to
the DTH, Kelly will be an effective editor. ”
Selection board member Carl Clark, a
senior from Fuquay-Varina, said he voted
for Ryan because of her experience and
ideas. “She has a personal dedication to
what I perceived to be the chief mission of
the DTH—the ability to provide an atmo
sphere in which to train students with ex
perience they can use in journalism.”
Selection board member Amy Joyner, a

junior from Haw River, said she was most
impressed with Ryan’s journalistic abili
ties. “I was really impressed with her expe
rience and what we called ‘vision’ for the
paper,” she said. “I think she is a good
writer and a good reporter, and I think that
translates into being a good editor.”
The selection board conducted an
hourlong interview with each candidate
Saturday. The initial vote did not produce
the necessary eight votes, so members de
cided to eliminate the candidates with the
fewest votes. The board then debated the
qualifications of the two top vote-getters,
Ryan and Stepp, for about an hour before
taking the final vote.
“I think there were two very qualified
candidates for the position,” said board
member Jason Richardson, DTH editorial
page editor. “The decision between the

Sampson Torches
Huskies for 30
BYSTEVEROBBLEE
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Prior to
UNC’s East Region final matchup with
Connecticut, Tonya Sampson wasn’t get
ting much attention.
Tar Heel teammates Charlotte Smith
and Sylvia Crawley were getting the ink—
the former for her brawl-induced suspen
sion, the latter for her post defense against
Commodore center Heidi Gillingham
But after UNC’s 81-69 win against the
Huskies Saturday, East Region Most Valu
able Player Tony a Sampson was the center
of attention.
Sampson ’ s combination of strength and
speed frustrated Connecticut defenders.
Just ask UConn sophomore guard Jennifer
Rizzotti. I—. 1 —.
“I worked real
hard trying to de
fend her, but she
carried theirteam YllHvl r
for the stretch,”
Rizzotti said. H |
“She’s definitely
the hardest player
I’ve had to defend bMMMMbI
all year. She’s a flflMHAl F
lot bigger than I
am, a lot stron- 'em' o
ger, real quick. I tried to make her get
hectic and crazy a little bit, but in the
second half, she stayed in control.”
The game got a little hectic for UNC
with 7:43 left in the second half when 6-
foot-7 UConn center Kara Wolters hit a
layup to clip UNC’s lead to four points.
Inthenext3l/2 minutes, Sampsonhad
two steals, two assists and a 3-pointer to
expand the Tar Heel lead to eight points
with just 4:16 left.
Sampson did almost everything to help
send UNC to its first-ever Final Four.
Her line for the game: 30 points on 11-
of-21 shooting, seven rebounds, four as
sists, Six sends, two Mocks and just two
turnovers. Sampson’s six steals and four 3-
pointers tied East Region records.
UConn head coach Geno Auriemma
might as well have been talking about
Sampson specifically when he talked about
the matchup problems the Huskies had
with the Tar Heels.
“We’ve played teams that are as quick,
but not as quick and strong,” Auriemma
said. “It’s hard to simulate that in practice.
I don’t know how you prepare to play
against a team like that unless you can
match up with them physically.”
But Sampson, a senior guard from
Clinton, said the Huskies weren’t the only
team that had had trouble defending her, in
part because she learned the game from
playing mostly against boys.
Please See SAMPSON, Page 5
two of them was very difficult, but I thought
that, at this time, Kelly Ryan’s experience
made her the better qualified candidate.”
DTH Editor Yi-Hsin Chang said she
thought Ryan would make an excellent
editor. “I have a lot of confidence in Kelly’s
ability as a leader and as a journalist. I
think she’ll do a great job as DTH editor.”
Chang said the selection process ran
smoothly this year. This is the second year
the DTH editor has been chosen by a
selection board rather than through a
campuswide election.
Stepp said she respected the editor se
lection process. “If the selection board felt
that Kelly was the most qualified candi
date, I respect that.” Stepp said she had not
decided on her plans for next year but
would concentrate onherjob asUniversity
editor for the rest of the semester.
Roybal also said he thought the editor
selection process was a fair one. “I thought
they made a good choice,” he said. “I
thought it was a fair process."
Boussios could not be reached for com
ment Sunday.
Ryan said her first tasks as editor-select
would be to hold interviews for desk editor
positions and to assemble a team of recruit
ment officers to help diversify the staff. She
plans to step down from her position as city
editor this week to prepare for her term as
editor, which begins in May.
The biggest change Ryan wants to imple
ment at the DTH is to improve the paper’s
handling of news, she said.
“I’m not looking to change the design of
the paper but to put more news in the
design,” she said. “Ifm looking for (news
coverage) to be more aggressive.”
The other selection board members were
Kelly Breen, Angela Byrd, Sam Guo, Jackie
Hershkowitz, Elizabeth Maybach, Jenni
fer Mueller, Tom Schaller and Rachael
Sullivan.
