There were angry statements by leaders ofboth the PLO and Islamic fundamental ists ofthe Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups. But only isolated outbreaks of violence occurred as a shaky truce.

Considers NATO Air Strikes Against Serb Army SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina Renegade Muslim forces and Serbs were attacking government soldiers Sunday in northwest Bosnia, apparently trying to cap ture the region before the international community could react. Senior U.N. officials met in Zagreb, Croatia, to consider using NATO war planes to attack Serb forces but didn’t say whether they would use the expanded pow ers granted Saturday by the U.N. Security Council. Government troops in Bihac, in Bosnia’s northwestern comer, were under attack by rebel Muslim forces and Serb armor, ac cording to the United Nations and both sides in the fighting. Serb artillery in neigh boring Croatia was firing across the border at the government forces. Angolan Government Signs Treaty With Rebel Forces LUSAKA, Zambia—Repeating a ritual that has twice foiled to end their 19-year old civil war, Angola’s government and rightist rebels signed a peace treaty Sunday as fighting raged on in their devastated homeland. UNIT A leader Jonas Savimbi and Presi dent Jose Eduardo dos Santos didn’t put their own names on the treaty, heightening fears it wouldn’t stop the war. The rebel leader didn’t even attend the signing cer emony; aides said he couldn’t leave his bush camp in Angola because of govern ment attacks. Onlookers cheered as the treaty was signed by Angolan Foreign Minister Venancio de Mourn and UNITA Gen. Eugenio Manuvakola in a crowded con ference center in the Zambian capital. IRA Admits to Involvement In Last Week's Shooting LONDON The Irish Republican Army admitted on Sunday that its men had been behind a killing that violated a cease-fire, but it said the murder had not been sanctioned by the IRA leadership. Three gunmen shot and killed postal worker Frank Kerr when he resisted a robbery in the Northern Ireland town of Newry on Nov. 10. The shooting was the first violation of a cease-fire observed by the IRA since Sept. 1 and by Protestant paramilitary groups since Oct. 13. The Catholic-based IRA seeks the union ofN. Ireland with mostly Catholic Ireland. Protestant groups want Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Weather TODAY: Variably cloudy; high 60-65. TUESDAY: Partly cloudy; high 55-60. James Madison Slips Past North Carolina To Win NCAA Field Hockey Championship BYROBBIPICKERAL ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR BROOKLINE, Mass. For the second straight year, the NCAA field hockey championship hinged on penalty strokes. And for the second straight year, North Caro lina was the bridesmaid.

Last year, UNC fell by the same margin in the championship game to Maryland. “We had some opportunities; we just didn’t con vert,” UNC head coach Karen Shelton said. “It’s tough. We had the better team, and we didn’t UNC Beats Blue Devils in Thriller BYCHADAUSTIN SENIOR WRITER DURHAM Not one of the 40,103 fans who jammed into Wallace Wade Sta dium Saturday to witness the regular sea son finale between Duke and North Caro lina had any idea which team would ring the victory bell until the final horn sounded. Both the Football UNC 41 Duke 40 Blue Devils and the Tar Heels kept the overflow crowd guessing throughout the seesaw contest, as neither team gave any early indication of who the winner of the game would be. But as the late-aftemoon sun cast a long shadow across the playing field, it was the Tar Heels who pulled off a 41-40 win over their archrivals in one of the wildest foot ball games ever between the two schools. “That was as good a college football game as you would ever want to see, ” said UNC head coach Mack Brown after the victory was in hand. “There were two great teams out there today who played with a lot of heart and desire and effort. “It doesn’t get any better than this.” Not even a Fuzzy Lee interception of a Spence Fischer pass with a little more than a minute remaining could seal the win for See FOOTBALL, Page 8 Heineman Still the Winner With Official Results of Thursday’s Vote Re-Count BYRYAN THORNBURG ASSISTANT STATE AND NATIONAL EDITOR After a hand count of ballots in three counties Thursday, Fred Heineman was officially declared the winner of the 4th District U.S. congressional race. Incumbent Democrat David Price called for the re-count after election night ballot counts indicated that Heineman won the election by less than 1 percent. The me chanical count done on election night showed Heineman ahead with 50.4 percent to Price’s 49.6 percent of the vote. After the boards of election in Chatham, Orange and Wake counties spent 12 hours re counting more than 308,000 votes by FRED HEINEMAN will assume the seat for the 4th Congressional District in January. hand Thursday, Heineman was still the winner. Although the re-count showed Price 29 votes closer to his Republican challenger, Heineman still won the raceby 1,215 votes. The official winner will be declared Nov. 29 after the state Board of Elections certi fies the results. Phyllis Stephens, spokeswoman for Heineman, said the congressman-elect’s I had this feeling down deep inside that we were going to win again. Tisha Venturini Gold, Silver and a Bell win today. And that hurts that’s what hurts the most.” The war on the turf was more physical than finesse. Four green-card penalties were issued in 100 minutes of play, and multiple whistles were blown because of injuries. “It was ugly,” Shelton said. “Most championship games aren’t pretty, but this game was exceptionally ugly.” The Tar Heels got on the board Sunday exactly the same way they did Saturday. Sophomore Meredith Lawrence scored in the 15 th minute of play on a hard drive to the left-bottom comer of the goal, assisted by senior Barbara Hansen and freshman Joy Driscoll. But UNC’s confidence began to collapse when Dutch superstar Carole Thate, who leads the nation in scoring with 39 goals, netted a shot at the end of the half. Sophomore defender Christy Utter had not al lowed Thate a shot on goal to that point, but the See FIELD HOCKEY, Page 7 North Carolina wide receiver Octavus Barnes (4) avoids the desperate lunge of Duke safety Zaid Abdul-Aleem during his game-winning, 71-yard TD reception.

She said Heineman had been confident that the re-count effort would confirm what they already knew Nov. 8. “We have confidence in the system here,”Stephenssaid. “We’vebeendeclared the winner for the second time.” Stephens said she couldn’t speculate why Price had proceeded with a re-count effort. “1 can’t get inside his head,” she said. “He had the right to do it.” John Wallace, legal counsel to the Price campaign, said the re-count was requested simply to double check election night to- See RE-COUNT, Page 2 Chapel NHL North Carolia* MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21,1994 First Human Relations Summit Offers Opportunity for Dialogue BYNANCYFONTI STAFF WRITER Leaders of student groups learned more about each others’ struggles and concerns during the opening session of the Human Relations Summit on Friday night. Although the groups have different in terests and agendas, most of the represen tatives agreed that they should work to gether to further the efforts of all the groups. The Women’s Issues Network, campus NAACP chapter, executive branch of stu- dent govern ment, cued speech/deaf stu dents, students with learning disabilities, B GLAD and the Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF) each had representatives at the session. “This shows how ironic it is, ” said Dawn Prince, a representative of Bisexuals, Gay men, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity. “We’re all here, but there are so many groups we are completely ignorant about. ” Prince said it was vital for B-GLAD to have heterosexual members because most of the problems for gays, lesbians and bi sexuals were caused by heterosexuals’ mis understandings. “A lot of people think that if they are straight, they can’t come to B-GLAD meet ings,” she said. “It’s not that they don’t feel sympathy. It’sjustthattheythinkwe won’t feel empathy for them.” Steve Hoffmann, vice president of the Tar Heels Win 9th Consecutive NCAA Title By Routing Notre Dame in Women’s Soccer BYTODD GRAFF STAFF WRITER PORTLAND, Ore. Every women’s soccer sea son seems to begin with speculation and reserved belief that it is the year the Women's Soccer UNC 5 Notre Dame 0 Connecticut 0 UNC 3 glue that secures North Carolina to the national championship will finally dry up and crack. But even with wide spread expectations for a new champion, each sea- son seems to finish with UNC’s complete dismantling of that year’s designated team. The role of the Tar Heels’ victim this year was played by Notre Dame, and it was clobbered 5-0 Sunday at Merlo Field. It is UNC’s ninth straight NCAA title and its twelfth in history. UNC advanced to the final by defeating Connecti cut 3-0 Friday. The Tar Heels outshot UConn 27-3. GPSF, told the panel of about 20 student leaders that no graduate students sat on any body that made funding decisions. “There are always complaints about the teaching of graduate assistants and teach ing assistants, but there are no supports to make these people better,” he said. “Forty percent of classes are taught by graduate students.” Hoffmann also pointed out that there was no pediatrician or obstetrician offered to students through Student Health Ser vice. Graduate students need both of these services, he said. The mission of the GPSF is to help all students, not just those seeking postgradu ate degrees, Hoffmann said. For example, the GPSF endorsed the plan for a Consensual Amorous Relation ship Policy, which would define guide lines for appropriate behavior between stu dents and teachers, Hoffmann said. The policy would protect both, he said. Brooke Baker, a representative from the Women’s Issues Network, said a man of ten received the credit for what a woman had said in the classroom. Baker also said women were not ad equately represented in the faculty or in administrative positions. “My hope is when the chancellor is chosen, some qualified women candidates will be considered for the position,” she said. A representative of students with learn ing disabilities who did not wish to be identified said professors and fellow stu dents often did not understand the hin drance of a learning disability.

All rights reserved. “I had this feeling down deep inside that we were going to win again,” said final four offensive MVP Tisha Venturini. “The scary thing is that I don’t believe that everybody else did. I think at times people doubted whether we were the best team. Down deep inside, I knew there was no way I was going to let this team lose, and I knew there were a couple people with me, like Angela Kelly and Ker^Sanchez.” Those three accounted for three goals and three assists in the final, and Venturini tallied 10 shots, more than the Notre Dame team. The first of their goals came in the 15th minute off a Sanchez comer kick. The ballrocketed toward the near post, where Sarah Dacey was perfectly positioned, and she had to barely change the ball’s flight pattern by flicking it with her head to the far post. At the far post, Kelly found herself all alone and easily placed it into the goal for a 1 -0 lead. “Dacey flicked theball perfectly,” Kelly said. “What I try to do is to step inside of their defender covering the See WOMEN’S SOCCER, Page 8 “It is difficult when you are supposed to be learning, but you can’t,” he said. “A lot of people with learning disabilities do not use it as a crutch at all.” Student Body President George Battle said creating a Human Relations Summit had been one of his campaign promises, although he stressed that it was not con ducted as part of student government. “We were not trying to create a commu nity of consensus because diversity is the key to education,” Battle said. He said that groups were so pleased with the summit that there were plans to organize similar open communication ses sions on a monthly basis. Battle called the summit an “overwhelm ing success,” and said he hoped it would continue under future administrations “It really exceeded my expectations. It should really make us all proud to be members of the University community ” Editor's Note The Daily Tar Heel is looking for staff writers, copy editors, photographers, design ers and graphic artists to serve on the DTH beginning next semester.
