Security Council Refuses
To Lift Sanctions on Iraq
UNITED NATIONS The Security
Council refused Monday to lift economic
sanctions against Iraq, and U.S. officials
attacked Iraqi claims of hardship by show
ing pictures ofnew palaces built by Saddam
Hussein.
One palace is three times the size of the
White House, and other reports say Iraq is
importing liquor, for coats and ice cream.
Diplomats said it was the first evidence
they had seen of such levels of spending by
Iraq’s rulers.
The 15-nation council rejected Iraq’s
claim that it has met conditions to lift a
crippling oil embargo and other sanctions
imposed after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait,
saidU.S. Ambassador Madeleine Albright.
The sanctions were extended after the
1991 GulfWarto force Iraq to help destroy
its missiles.

Number of Out-of-State
Students Over UNC Limit
BY CHRISTINA MASSEY
STAFF WRITER
The number of out-of-state students at
tending UNC has exceeded the limit al
lowed by the UNC-system Board of Gov
ernors, according to a report presented to
the BOG on Friday.
The report stated that the percentage of
freshmen attending the University who
were from out-of-state had reached 21 per
cent this year, above the limit of 18 percent.
This is the third year in a row that the
percentage of out-of-state students has ex
ceeded the limit, and this year’s entering
class had the highest percentage of out-of
state students in 10 years.
Jim Walters, associate provost and di
rector of undergraduate admissions, said
Monday that the increase in out-of-state
students had been caused by an increase in
the number of students who accepted ad
missions.
“Our yield rate, which is the number of
students who accept admissions, rose over
the past year," he said. “The percentage of
out-of-state students we offered admissions
to increased, and a higher percentage of

derstand why beer commercials were al
lowed while these were not.
“Advertisers tried to say that advertis
ing for beer is no worse than other prod
ucts,” Smith said. “But if other products
were gateway drugs and played a part in 90
percent of date rapes on campus, then they
wouldn’t be allowed on the air. Why should
beer?”
Smith has extended his views on the
issue to his own weekly TV show. His
contract stipulates that no alcoholic bever
age companies advertise on his show.
Each ACC school gets more than
$500,000 a year from beer and wine adver
tising during regional broadcasts of sport
ing events.

to lose those advertising dollars,” UNC

said a great deal still needed to be done to
improve human rights in all areas of the
world. “Human rights is not a static busi
ness of setting and accomplishing objec
tives.”
Robinson said the United States often
entered Third World countries under-the
pretext of promoting democracy. He said
the idea of containment of communism
was all that had mattered to the United
States.
More Ootof-State Students
In the past three years, the percentage of
out-ofstate students has remained above
the 18 percent maximum set by the UNC
system.

Walters said the admissions office had
not expected the number of out-of-state
students to exceed the limit this year.
“We were surprised that this happened, ”
he said. “This year’s freshman class was
very strong, but we did not expect so many
students to attend.”

Athletic Director John Swofford said of
the consequences of banning beer ads.
Smith said there were many other com
panies thatwanted to advertise during UNC
sporting events.
“There’s a waiting list to advertise,”
Smith said. “They can fill up the space with
something else.”
Swofford said a decision by the ACC to
ban beer ads would require a renegotiation
of television contracts, which run until the
year 2001.
The issue has been discussed at ACC
meetings, Swofford said.
”It’s a very legitimate issue. We must
consider what’s appropriate for our uni

Council Grants Town More
Power in Zoning UNC Land
BY CHRIS NICHOLS
CITY EDITOR
The town gave itself more preliminary
control over future development on UNC
owned properties Monday night and
adopted measures to consider establishing
anew University zoning district.
The Chapel Hill Town Council unani
mously adopted an ordinance that rezones
an area south of Estes Drive from Office-
Institutional 3to Office-Institutional 2. The
zoning of 01-2 would establish stricter
building heights and buffer codes and would
require developers to present their plans to
the Town Council for approval.
In a second ordinance, another section
of the Horace Williams tract, south of
Estes Drive and adjacent to Airport Road,
will also be rezoned from the existing 01-3
3 to 01-2.
The second ordinance passed 7-2.
UNC has been studying ways to de
velop the land, and the Town Council has
expressed concern about the nature of the
development and its effect on areas and
neighborhoods surrounding the tract.
The current zoning of the land, 01-3, is
bility.
“We’ve gone from many years of bla
tant advertising of beer to working with
Anheuser-Busch in developing drinking
responsibility ads,” Swofford said.
The North Carolina State Baptists Con
vention, held last weekend in Winston-
Salem, voted on a resolution asking the
state legislature to ban alcohol ads on radio
and television.
“In keeping with our traditional stand,
we are opposed to advertising in conjunc
tion with athletic contests, and we com
mend Dean Smith on his stance concern
ing alcohol advertisement and the ACC,”
said Rev. Coye Still Jr. of Rocky Mount.
EachNCAA conference approaches the
issue of beer advertising differently. Some

Attacked on Franklin
Police Still Investigating the
Incident, Which the Victims
Say They Did,Not Provoke
BYJOE REYNOLDS
STAFF WRITER
A group of eight to 10 men attacked four
UNC students at 12:20 a.m. on the 100
block of East Franklin Street as they were
returning from a midnight meal, police
reports state.
One of the victims, who asked that his
name not be revealed, said the group had
been attacked on the sidewalk in front of
Subway.
They were going to eat at Subway but it
had closed already, he said.
The group of attackers came out of the
alley next to the Carolina Coffee Shop, he
said. As the assailants passed the students,
one of the attackers shouted “What’s your
problem?”
When the victim turned to see what was
going on, the attackers advanced and be

18 to 24 years of age.
They were dressed in dark jackets and
looked like skinheads, reports state. All

United States would play in world politics

rooted in citizenry.”
Democracy is not only defined by the
ability to vote but also by debate of issues
and thoughtful discussions among citizens,
Robinson said.
“Democracy needs an enlightened citi
zen,” he said. “Unlike totalitarianism, de
mocracy thrives on thinking.”

BOG Vote on
Discrimination
Bill Delayed
BYKATHRYN TAYLOR
STAFF WRITER
The Board of Governors is considering
an amendment that would ban discrimina
tion based on sexual orientation in admis
sions, employment and promotion poli
cies throughout the UNC system.
Lainey Edmisten and Calvin
Cunningham, UNC-CH’s delegates to the
UN C Association of Student Governments
(ASG), introduced the amendment to foe
BOG last year.
The amendment is currently under re
view, and a full board vote is scheduled to
be held Jan. 13.
A special BOG committee approved
the bill in October. Raleigh attorney Jo
seph Stallings, who led the committee,
said any revisions in code would also pre
vent age and disability discrimination.
“There seems to be general consensus
among the university (to include sexual
orientation in that list),” he said. “Clearly,
I think it’s something that needs to hap
pen.”
Edmisten, a junior from Boone, said
1993-94 Student Body President Jim
Copland had written a resolution recom
mending the amendment so that a uniform
policy would be in place permanently
throughout the UNC system’s 16 cam
puses.
Although 10 of the 16 UNC-system
campuses already have policies against
discrimination, some of the policies, in
cluding UNC-CH’s, are subject to change
with leadership, Edmisten said. For ex
ample, under the present legislation, Chan
cellor Paul Hardin’s replacement would
have the opportunity to change Hardin’s
nondiscriminatory policy, she said.
“Originally, there was concern over hir
ing and firing of faculty members based on
their sexual orientation when the chancel
lor leaves,” she said.
Hardin’s policy against discrimination
has been in effect since he became chancel
lor in 1988.
