Officials Investigate White
House Shooting Incident
WASHINGTON, D.C.—A Colorado
man who left a cryptic note about death
faced arraignment Monday on property
damage and firearms violations following
his frightening White House shooting spree.
The possibility of additional charges, in
cluding attempted assassination, was left
open.
On Sunday, the day after the unsettling
attack, yellow police tape stretched across
the White House lawn and FBI agents
armed with laser equipment conducted an
inch-by-inch search for bullets around the
pockmarked mansion.
The gunman, 26-year-old Francisco
Martin Duran, remained silent at D.C.’s
central cellblock, his motives a mystery,
his demeanor described by the Secret Ser
vice as “completely flat.”
Duran, who spent two years in a mili
tary prison for felony assault, left a note
outlining how he would want his affairs
handled if he died, a document that one
administration official called “closer to a
will than a suicide note.”
Duran, scheduled to be formally ar
raigned before a U.S. Magistrate on Mon
day, was charged early Sunday with will
fully damaging federal property and pos
sessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
The shooting spree left pockmarks scat
tered across the White House facade, five
visible around the press area in the West
Wing.
One shot struck just below a second
floor window to the Queen’s Bedroom,
not used on a day-to-day basis; another hit
in front of the Old Family Dining Room on
the first floor, a third struck waist-high on
a low wall in front of the central doorway.
Christopher: IsraekSyria
Talks Making Progress
CASABLANCA, Morocco Reject
ing Israeli accounts, Secretary of State
Warren Christopher said Sunday that peace
talks between Israel and Syria were mak
ing progress. He suggested both sides were
making concessions.
Attending a first-ever Middle East-North
Africa Economic Summit meeting in Mo
rocco, Christopher took issue with sugges
tions by Israeli officials that President
Clinton extracted very little from Syrian
President Hafez Assad in Damascus on
Thursday.
The negotiations, which opened in
Madrid, Spain, three years ago, are bogged
down in debate over security measures and
peace terms.
Paramilitary Groups Still
Evoke Fear in Rural Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Despite
the thousands of U.S. soldiers in Haiti,
armed thugs still hold sway in some rural
areas and many supporters of President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide are afraid to go
home, aid workers said Sunday.
The arrival last month of 16,000 U.S.
soldiers on a mission to restore democracy
has greatly improved security, especially
in Port-au-Prince, where the troops are
concentrated.
Aristide supporters who were in hiding
under military rule now walk the streets of
the capital without fear.
Members ofparamilitary groups are still
believed to have hundreds of weapons,
and there are reports of violence in the
countryside where local authority is virtu
ally nonexistent.
Bosnian Soldiers Continue
Offensive, Seize Positions
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnian Serbs evacuated civilians from a
northwestern town and fought Sunday to
hold off Muslim-led government troops
who are on their most successful offensive
of the war.
Government forces also captured Serb
positions for a second straight day in the
mountains near Sarajevo. During
Saturday’s combat, government artillery
fire landed near a U.N. observer post,
pompting warnings of a NATO airetrike if
it happened again.
Civil defense officials went door to door
in the besieged Bosnian capital, advising
residents to stay indoors because of fears
that Serbs after a nine-month lull
would renew bombardment of the city in
retaliation.

North Carolina State charged onto the
Kenan Stadium field Saturday and
literally ran over cheerleaders, band
members and anyone else who stood
in its way.
By halftime however, it was the Wolfpack’s,
counterparts in blue doing the running over, and
it was the N.C. State defense feeling the effects of
the stampede.

record-breaking crowd of 54,300. The victory
assured UNC of its fifth consecutive winning sea
son, a feat that has not happened since the 1979-
1983 campaigns under Dick Crum.
“We were very pleased that we came out and
were able to run the ball as well as we did because
we were running it against one of the best run
defenses in the country," said UNC head coach
Mack Brown.
N.C. State (5-3,3-1 ACC) was ranked seventh
in the country against the rush (81.3 yards per
game) coming into the game and fourth in total
defense (241.3 ypg). It was a different story Satur
day, though, as the Pack gave up 280 yards on the
ground and 375 total yards.
Credit much of UNC’s offensive success to
sophomore tailback Leon Johnson. The
Morganton native finished the game with 133
yards rushing and 46 receiving. He also scored all
three first-half touchdowns.

Chapel Hill Police Arrest 3
Men for Armed Robbery
STAFF REPORT
Chapel Hill police responded Saturday
morning to a report of an armed robbery on
the 100 block of Rosemary Street near the
parking deck.
Three men have been arrested in con
nection with the robbery, according to
Chapel Hill police reports.
At about 2:30 a.m., police arrested the
three suspects on Airport Road near the
Estes Drive intersection.
Paul Alan Murphy, 21, of 1835 Cheek
Road, Apt. 1-A in Durham was arrested
and charged with two felony counts of
robbery with a dangerous weapon, police
reports state.
Murphy was being held in Orange
County Jail under a $25,000 secured bond,
reports state. He will have his first appear
ance in court today in Hillsborough.

port of the university being evaluated.
All universities must be reaccredited
every 10 years to receive federal funds.
UNC, which will be evaluated by a visiting
committee in May, has self-study reports
available in Wilson, Health Affairs, Law,
Davis and Undergraduate libraries.
“We have to be ready to have every
thing we do looked over,” McCormick
said. “Asa visiting committee, we worked
very hard. We spent three and a half days
studying every aspect of LSU.”
McCormick said UNC must complete
the self-study reports for the committee’s
visit this spring. “We have to fully prepare
our self-study report,” he said. “This is the
most important part of reaccreditation be
fore the committee gets here.”

hands of Virginia on the road a week ago.
“I think it’s really satisfying because I think I
had one of the worst weeks of my life, quite
honestly,” Brown said. “I was miserable (a week
ago) Saturday night, and I was miserable (a week

I felt like I let our assistant coaches down and all
the Carolina fans because we were at a point where
whatever this proverbial ‘next step’ means
we were somewhere around it, and we took a step

Saturday, Brown’s charges started going back
in the right direction by playing near-flawless

SHS Hopes Coordinating Office
Will Combat Substance Abuse
BY JULIE CORBIN
STAFF WRITER
In response to substance abuse at UNC,
Student Health Services (SHS) hopes to
create an office that would coordinate the
many services already available.
The office would provide a full time
employee who could coordinate all the
treatment and prevention programs avail
able at UNC, said Deirdre Laurilliard, a
counselor at SHS.
This employee would serve as a sub
stance abuse officer who works for cam
pus-wide educational and prevention pro
grams, much like the sexual harassment
and racial harassment officers already at
UNC, said Edith Wiggins, interim vice
chancellor for student affairs.
The office would also research substance
and alcohol abuse at UNC and create a
database of resources, statistics and poten
tial solutions, Laurilliard said.
The office would not provide treatment,
which is already offered at SHS, or law
enforcement, which is provided by the
University and city police, said Judith

did recommend they add to the sections
available for the general education require
ments.”
Moran and McCormick spent time with
faculty, staff, students, members of LSU
student government and other student lead
ers. “It’s interesting to see how things are
done at other schools,” Moran said.
Although she would not discuss specific
recommendations made by the commit
tee, Moran said she evaluated graduate
instruction and the School of Library and
Information Science at LSU. “(LSU) had
prepared a good self-study report and an
incredibly thoughtful program. They
worked very hard to have every moment of
the committee scheduled.”
She said LSU made people on campus
very accessible to the visiting committee.
“Anybody we wanted to talk to was avail
three-and-outs to start things off. The Tar Heels
started at their own 25 on the next possession
though and didn’t stop until they reached the end
zone, 11 running plays later.
Johnson sparked the drive with a 16-yard scam
per up the left side on a second-and-9 from the
UNC 26 and capped things offwith a 3-yard ran up
the middle for the first score of the game. Tripp
Pignetti connected on the point after, and North
Carolina led 7-0 with just under five minutes left in
the first quarter.
“They weren’t doing anything special, it was
just straight power football,” said NCSU line
backer Damien Covington, who finished the game
with 16 tackles. “We just weren’t winning our
individual battles, and things got out ofhand in the
first half.”
Cowan, director of SHS.
In researching substance abuse at UNC,
the office would look at ways to intervene
that would center on how students feel
about drinking and potential options for
entertainment besides drinking, Laurilliard
said. It would try to find “the pulse of the
campus,” Laurilliard said.
The office would be housed in the dean
of students’ office or in health education,
Laurilliard said.
Many services currently available to stu
dents are not well known or coordinated,
Laurilliard said.
“We have a lot of groups, but right now
many groups don't know about each other, ”
Laurilliard said.
SHS has applied for a grant to hire a
consultant who would look at the issue of
alcohol and substance abuse at UNC and
identify the services that are available,
Laurilliard said.
Currently, SHS provides many preven
tative and treatment services, according to
a report on substance abuse programming
submitted to the Board of Trustees Sub
committee on Student Affairs.

able,” said Moran, who has also helped
evaluate Mississippi State and Texas Chris
tian University.
McCormick said he evaluated the un
dergraduate curriculum and the quality of
the faculty at LSU, making two major
recommendations.
McCormick said LSU should make sure
there was enough room for undergradu
ates in required general education courses.
He also said the qualifications of LSU
faculty should be available on file.
The visiting committee commended
LSU on the access of faculty and adminis
trators to the students.
McCormick said, “Apparently, the
chancellor sees any student who wants to
see him within a three-day turnaround,
and the provost meets with student groups
every two weeks.”
UNC’s offense gave the team a lead, but it was
the defense setting the tone early in the game.
Defensive end Marcus Jones broke up a third-and
-3 pass offering from State quarterback Terry Harvey
with 3:35 left in the first quarter and forced the
Pack into its third consecutive three-and-out situ
ation.
“I think our defense came out and got N.C.
State’s offense a little frustrated early in the
ballgame, and it was hard for them to get into a
rhythm until late in the third quarter, ” Brown said.
North Carolina continued to take advantage of
the ground game on its next possession, taking the
ball 64 yards on 12 plays forthe second touchdown
of the day. Curtis Johnson, who finished the day

SHS offers primary prevention pro
grams, inpatient detoxification, several
programs for treatment and evaluation and
outside referrals when necessary, the re
port states.
An office to coordinate these programs
is needed on UNC's campus, because sub
stance abuse, particularly alcohol, is a seri
ous problem here, Cowan said.
“Alcohol remains our biggest substance
abuse problem,” Cowan said.
Alcohol abuse on UNC’s campus brings
a host of problems, Wiggins said Sunday.
“Students are having a lot of problems
with not being able to perform well in
classes because they were out drinking the
night before,” Wiggins said.
According to a report by the Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse at Colum
bia University, alcohol is implicated in
more than 40 percent of academic prob
lems and 28 percent of dropouts. Further
more, 95 percent of all violent crime on
campus is alcohol-related, 90 percent of all
reported campus rapes involve alcohol and
80 percent of all campus vandalism is alco
hol-related, the report states.
