Volume 102, Issue 92 101 years of editorial freedom Serving the students and the University community since 1893 IN THE NEWS Top stories from the state, nation and world Israeli Bus Hit by Terrorist Bomb, Leaving 22 Dead TEL AVIV, Israel The terror at the edges of the quest for Middle East peace exploded Wednesday when a bomb on a crowded city bus killed 22 people and turned a bustling street into a scene from a slaughterhouse. The attack, the worst in Israel in 16 years, wounded 48 people. Police blamed it on a suicide bomber. Some Israelis cried for vengeance against the Islamic radicals who have claimed re sponsibility for three major attacks in 10 days. Shouts of “Death to the Arabs!” were heard from bystanders on the seaside city’s main thoroughfare as severed arms and legs were gathered for burial, some from on top of four-story buildings. Time Bomb Explodes in Iraqi Religious Building BAGHDAD, Iraq—A bomb exploded Wednesday in the mosque of Baghdad’s Religious Affairs Ministry, killing one man and seriously wounding five. Iraqi television identified the fatality as Attallah Mohammed Salah, directorofthe endowments office. It said three of the wounded from the time bomb, which con tained 6 pounds ofexplosives, were women. The television quoted civil defense offi cials as sayingthe explosives were wrapped in batteries and ignited at 11 a.m. with a homemade detonator. The TV showed pictures of the victims covered in blood and bandages following the blast inside the walled compound in the north Baghdad district of Bab al- Moaddam. Fighting Continues Along Major Bosnian Battlefronts SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina Ignoring U.N. efforts to ease tensions around Sarajevo, government forces and Bosnian Serbs lobbed hundreds of shells at each other Wednesday on several battle fronts outside the capital. The United Nations also failed to re trieve medical supplies looted by the Serbs or to force government troops to leave tense Mount Igman south of the city, re flecting the determination of the two war ring sides to put themselves in the best position to withstand an approaching third winter of fighting. U.N. officials also were trying to re cover two trucks from a U.N. aid convoy that was raked by Serb gunfire on the edge of the eastern Muslim enclave of Gorazde on Tuesday. Aristide Accuses Enemies Of Spreading Fear in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—President Jean-Bertrand Aristide blamed his right wing foes Wednesday for street violence that had spread fear among Haiti’s elite, and he promised anew government of the “rich and poor.” Despite expectations he would an nounce some key government appoint ments, Aristide spoke only in general terms of his plans for an administration embrac ing all Haitian classes and dedicated to reconciliation. Speaking to reporters at the National Palace for the first time since a U.S. Air Force jet brought him back Saturday from three years in exile, he accused his oppo nents of already working to undermine him.

Women’s Shocker— UNC Falls Duke Defeats the Tar Heels, Which Lose for the First Time in 142 Home Games BY SCOn WEAVER STAFF WRITER Dynasties make history in many ways. Sometimes, in unfortunate ways. The North Carolina women’s soccer program has written the record book for collegiate soccer in its 13-year history. Wednesday night, Duke helped add a little to that history and broke a few streaks along the way. The No. 4 Blue Devils won 3-2 in front of2,ooofansat Fetzer Field. It was the Tar Heels’first ever loss to Women's Soccer Duke 3 UNC 2 Duke, and it was probably the biggest win of Duke head coach Bill Hempen’s life. “I don’t know what to think,” Hempen said. “I’m kind of numb right now because I know that the season’s not over. We’re going to have another crack at them and they’re going to have another shot at us. It’s not over. I still want them to enjoy it, but it’s still a regular-season game.” Among the streaks the Blue Devils snapped were: ■ North Carolina’s home winning streak. The Tar Heels lost their first game at home in the program’s history. Their overall record at Fetzer Field is 139-1-2. ■ UNC’s 101-game unbeaten streak. The Tar Heels’ seniors had not lost since they joined the program. ■ a goals-against streak that had not seen UNC give up three goals since the 1990 NCAA quarterfinals against N. C. State. The Tar Heels won, 4-3 in overtime. In the last 205 games, UNC had only Sokolowski’s Previous Conviction Not Admissible in 2nd Murder Trial BY GRETCHEN HOFFMAN ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR Although Orange-Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox will be able to introduce some evidence that was used in the first trial of David Allen Sokolowski, the fact that Sokolowski was convicted will not be admissible. Superior Court Judge Cy Grant ruled Wednesday that the first-degree murder conviction might unfairly sway the jurors into thinking Sokolowski was guilty. Sokolowski was convicted in March of killing his friend andneighbor, Rubel “Little Man” Hill. He is now being charged with first-degree murder in the February 1992 death and dismemberment of his live-in girlfriend, Pamela Owens Ellwood. Judge Grant ruled that although some witness testimony had been used in the first trial, it would again be admissible. William Sheffield said evidence used in the other case should not be mentioned because there were not enough similarities between the two cases. “We have a difference in the alleged similarities in these,” he said. Sheffield Student Congress Members Elect Armstrong as New Speaker Pro Tempore BYLEAHMERREY STAFF WRITER Student Congress elected Meredith Armstrong Wednesday night to hold the position of speaker pro tempore. Armstrong was chosen over fellow Student Congress members Amy Cummins and Jonathan Justice to fill the role. A majority vote is required to elect the speaker pro tem. The original vote, which eliminated Justice from the final vote, had New School of Social Work Building Named After 3 Dignitaries 57,000-Square-Foot Facility Will Be Completed in June BYMICHAEL HATCH STAFF WRITER One name’s not enough for the School of Social Work’s new building, and even two doesn’t do it justice. The new building has been named to acknowledge three men essential to the recent progress of the school. The new facility will be known as the Tate-Tumer-Kuralt Building. The name honors John “Jack” Tate, chairman of the school’s board of directors; John Turner, dean emeritus; and Charles Kuralt, former CBS News correspondent. It makes no difference whether you win or lose , until you lose. Anonymous Hill, North CaroHu THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20,1994 lost once. That record stretched over a period of nine years. This game was a classic Duke-North Carolina match. It wasn’t over until the whistle blew. “There were no tricks,” Hempen said. “Both teams came to play, and it was athletics at its highest level as far as I’m concerned.” The Blue Devils drew first blood with a goal by Christi Monroe in the 12th minute. The shot came from about 30 yards out and was just too quick and strong for UNC goalie Tracy Noonan to stop. Twenty minutes later, North Carolina knotted the score 1-1 with a similar, unas sisted goal by Debbie Keller. “Carolina’s not going to quit,” Hempen said. “They’re going to keep coming at you with everything they’ve got and they did.” In the second half, North Carolina came out with a vengeance. The ball stayed in Duke territory for almost 30 minutes. But the crossbars and the breeze just happened to be playing the spoileT for both teams. North Carolina deflected the go-ahead goal off Duke’s post on numerous occa sions. Tisha Venturini, Danielle Egan and Keller all made amazing attempts at scor ing, but the ball refused to go in the net. “The nature of our game is that it’s unbelievably easy to score and sometimes amazingly difficult,” UNC head coach Anson Dorrance said. “And that’s one reason why I think the game should keep us humble, because you’re always playing two things in a soccer game: the opponent and the game itself. And if the opponent plays as tough as Duke did, absolutely anything can happen.” Duke also had some missed opportuni ties. Ten minutes after Duke went ahead 1 -0, See WOMEN’S SOCCER, Page 7 said the evidence was attached to Hill’s death, not Ellwood’s. Hill was dismembered in a similar man ner as Ellwood, Fox said. The body parts were then burned in a bonfire behind Sokolowski’s house, he said. When the police asked Sokolowski about the fire, he readily told them it was Hill’sbody, Sheffieldsaid. However, when Sokolowski was asked about Ellwood, he denied knowledge of her whereabouts. Fox said that Sokolowski had told a witness for the prosecution that he had dumped Ellwood’s ashes into the well and then drunk the water. “He pointed out the window and said, ‘She’s out there, ’” Fox said the witness had told him. Sheffield said the witness’s statement should not be admissible because there was no physical proof that there had ever been a body in the well. “There is absolutely no evidence of any forensic nature that there was anything in the well, ’’ Sheffield said. He said Fox should not imply there was because tests of the well water were negative. The witness reported having seen dis Armstrong with 10 votes, Cummins with 8 votes and Justice with 5 votes. The second vote, called due to a close race, was final: Armstrong with 15 votes and Cummins with 9. Rep. Armstrong, Dist. 11, which repre sents Granville Towers, said she was ex cited to have been elected speaker pro tem. “I was thrilled and delighted,” she said. “I think that everyone wanted the position, and I am happy that my fellow congress (members) selected me.” Bngp : '^iiJa Elizabeth Benefield, director of development for the School of Social Work, said all three men had increased the visibility of the school, which is now ranked 12th in the nation, accord ing to U.S. News and World Report.

The police went to Sokolowski’s house, and who gave his consent for them to search the house. Police found bloody cloth ing believed to belong to Ellwood in the house and found severed body parts in the fire, Fox said. Two ears that had been forcibly tom from the head were found on the porch, he said. One ear belonged to Hill, Fox said. Another ear, with an earring still in it, was found inside a gourd on the kitchen table. Sheffield also objected to the witness’s testimony because he said there was no evidence that the body parts the witness had seen being dumped into the fire be longed to anyone other than Hill. Asa result of the extensive media cover age of both the previous and the current trials, Judge Grant dismissed many poten tial alternate jurors because of previously formed assumptions of Sokolowski’sguilt. Sheffield said, “The state set forth and admitted that there was no transactional connection between the two cases.” Armstrong said she decided Tuesday to run for the position. “I made the decision kind of late,” she said. Before the election, Armstrong said that one of her main goals as speaker pro tem would be to educate the entire student body as to what Student Congress did. “I want the student body to love Student Congress as much as I do,” she said. Armstrong also said she was concerned about constifuent relations. “I want to maintain open communication with the building on the UNC campus is named.

Battle’s Cabinet Members Could Keep Their Posts BY AMY REAVIS STAFF WRITER Questions have been raised about the legality of the student body president’s calling for the resignation of Cabinet mem bers who were implicated in the posting of anti-homosexual fliers before National Coming Out Day. Student Body President George Battle and his chief of staff, Philip Charles-Pierre, contacted lawyers Wednesday to ensure that asking for resignations was within legal boundaries. Cabinet members John Phillippe and Charlton Allen were implicated in the post ing of fliers that said, “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” last week on National Coming Out Day. “Over the past two days, I have con sulted with attorneys regarding any action that I may take with respect to dismissing Charlton Allen and John Phillippe,” Battle said Wednesday night. “Unfortunately, I have received conflicting advice regarding the the freedom of speech issues that have been raised. “At this time no action has been taken with respect to their positions. I will con constituents. Sometimes things become heated and ugly; in light of this, we should maintain good relations,” she said. Justice said after Armstrong was se lected that politics had played a key role in the election. “What happened is that my two oppo nents called every member of congress and lobbied fortheir support. They talked with them: ‘You vote for me; I’ll vote for you.’ This is ridiculous; there’s no place for it in Student Congress.” said. The school cur rently is housed in multiple buildings across campus. The new facility will unite the school, Benefield said. Richard Edwards, dean of the School of Social Work, could not be reached for com ment Wednesday. Turner, who served as dean of the school for 10 years, retired two years ago. He held the Former Dean JOHN TURNER received awards from the Council on Social Work Education and the National Association of Social Workers.

The state laws that govern the process of firing employees ap ply to the student government, Battle said. According to the lawyers Battle spoke with, there are only three instances in which a state employee can be fired: insubordina tion, incompetence and crimes against the state. “It is not illegal to ask for a resignation, but it is illegal to fire someone over this particular issue,” Battle said. But Charles-Pierre said Wednesday af ternoon that the legal experts he had con tacted had told him otherwise. Charles- Pierre asked for the resignation ofPhillippe, who is also president of the UNC Young Republicans, on Monday, but as of Wednesday night, Phillippe had not re signed. “I have no intention of resigning,” Phillippe said Wednesday, “and I don’t appreciate being discriminated against based on my moral beliefs.” See CABINET, Page 2 J ustice, who held the position of speaker pro tem last year, also said he had the freedom to question the other two candi dates’methods for gaining votes. “I’mwell within my rights to question how they got where they are,” he said. One of Justice’s concerns was how Armstrong would handle the public rela tions aspect of the position. “The whole public relations aspect keeps See CONGRESS, Page 2 position of editor in chief of the 17th edi tion of the Encyclopedia of Social Work. Turner’s distinguished career earned him awards from the Council on Social Work Education and from the National Associa tion of Social Workers. The new building is the realization of a decade-old dream for Turner. During his tenure, he pushed for a building that would unite the school. “The building itself represents the inter est of the legislature, the campus and the people of North Carolina in social work, which is about the business of people help ing themselves,” Turner said. Tate, who lives in Charlotte, joined the school’s board of advisers lOyearsago. As See BUILDING, Page 2
