Double Bombing in Israel
Kills 18, Wounds Soldiers
BEIT LID JUNCTION, Israel - A
suicide mission by Islamic militants near a
snack bar mobbed with soldiers killed 18
Israelis and wounded about 60 Sunday
with a gruesome new tactic igniting a
small blast and ambushing would-be res
cuers with a second major explosion.
The result was a hammer blow to the
Israel-PLO peace treaty, already reeling
from an unprecedented series of attacks
inside Israel.
President Ezer Weizman proposed that
Israel stop the peace talks for an extended
review before expanding Palestinian self
rule into the West Bank. The president has
little power but is looked to as an indicator
of the national mood in times of crisis.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin convened
an emergency Cabinet session Sunday
evening to determine the government’s
response.
Japanese Quake Survivors
Battle Frustration, Fear
KOBE, Japan Bone-chilling rain
Sunday grounded relief flights, delayed
search operations and bred fears of disease
among survivors of Japan’s deadliest quake
in more than 70 years. The death toll neared
5,000.
Resentment and frustration appeared to
grow among thousandsofsurvivors. Many
showed signs of deep psychological scars,
while others struggled to get by without
basic services.
Five days afterthe 7.2 magnitude quake,
police put the death toll at 4,936, with 171
people still missing.
Nearly 26,000 have been injured.
A strong aftershock shook Kobe over
night. There were no reports of damage or
injury.
U.S. Envoy Talks With
Serbian Leader in Bosnia
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
A top American negotiator met Sunday
with Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic for the first time since the Serbs
rejected an international peace plan last
summer.
The move reversed a U.S. policy of
isolating the Serbs and punctuated how
badly the world wants the Muslim-led gov
ernment and its Serb foes to resume peace
talks after almost three years of war.
Washington’s decision to meet the Serbs
angered the Bosnians, who in July ac
cepted the peace plan devised by the so
called Contact Group of the United States,
Russia, France, Britain and Germany.

AIDS Agency Celebrates Home’s Completion
BY RYAN THORNBURG
CITY EDITOR
A child’s paintings, food in the kitchen
and a National Geographic Magazine on
the coffee table made the Carrboro AIDS
House look like a home Sunday during the
residence’s grand opening.
For two hours, 100 to 150 supporters,
neighbors and local officials toured the
house at 1700 N. Greensboro St. in
Carrboro.
“Along the way, there have been a lot of
people involved with this and a lot of
support,” said Deborah Young, executive
director of the AIDS Service Agency of
Orange County. “This is a celebration and
a closure for these people. We’re starting a
new stage now, so it really is a celebra
tion.”
The house has been a project of the
AIDS Service Agency for three years. And
while the physical house is entirely com
plete, sips on the doors of all the rooms
told visitors that furniture, curtains and
other items were still needed to complete
the home.
“We need a lot of sheets and pillow
cases, which we’ll always need,” said Joe
Herzenberg, president of the AIDS Service
Agency.
Several people who came to the open
house said they just wanted to see what the
final product looked like. Chapel Hill resi
dent Linda Woodard said she liked what
she saw.
“I just wanted to see what it looks like
and how it fits into the neighborhood, ’’ she
said. “It looks just like any other house.”
Young said the house did more than just

fit in with the neighborhood in external
appearance. She said neighbors, some of
whom had been apprehensive at first about
having such a house in the area, had brought
food for Sunday’s celebration.
But the AIDS House is not entirely like
any other house. Special amenities to serve
the house’s six residents are woven into the
home’s design.
The six bedrooms have hospital-style
reclining beds and a call button. Each bed
room also has its own heating and air

Spelman College
President Chosen
As May Keynote
BY MELISSA MILIOS
STAFF WRITER
Johimetta Cole, president of Spelman College, will speak May
14 at the University’s 194th Commencement.
A committee chaired by James Peacock, professor of anthro
pology, selected Cole as the keynote speaker last week. The
committee was made up of administrators, faculty and members of
the senior class government.
Peacock, who suggested Cole as Commencement speaker, said
that she had been the committee's first choice.
“I think that people who go (to the Commencement) will be
amazed at the excitement of Johnnetta Cole’s speaking, ” Peacock
said.
“I think she will be remembered as one of the greatest speakers
at a Carolina commencement.”
Peacock said he recommended Cole with
firsthand knowledge of her abilities as a
speaker.
“Two years ago, I heard her speak in
Washington, D.C., and it was one of the
most inspirational speeches I have ever
heard, not only in what she said but in how
she said it,” Peacock said.
Peacock also praised Cole for her achieve
ments.
“She is a role model for women and for
minorities,” he said.
“I think that (Cole) represents the future
and values of (these groups) better than
anyone I could have recommended,” Pea
cock said.
Senior Class Vice President Parshant Dhiman, who was also on
the committee, said the committee had tried to come up with a
dynamic speaker who would represent the University community
as a whole.
“We’re really glad that a person of her caliber is coming in to
open up the third century of Carolina tradition,” Dhiman said.
“We feel she will break the mold and be very dynamic in her
own right.”
Chancellor Paul Hardin, who will deliver his last Commence
ment address as chancellor in May, said he was excited that Cole
was finally available to speak at UNC’s commencement.
“(Dr. Cole) was speaking at Harvard on the same date as our
commencement last year, so we couldn’t get her then; we’re
delighted she’s coming now,” Hardin said.
Hardin also said Cole’s ability was demonstrated through her
many accomplishments.
“(She is a) marvelous person,” he said.
“She has 30 honorary degrees and has done a wonderful job at
Spelman College as the first African-American woman to head
that particular school.”
Cole was inaugurated as the seventh president of Spelman
College, a historically black women’s college, in 1987.
Since her arrival, the college has risen to become the first
historically black college to receive a No. 1 rating fromU.S. News
& World Report. Spelman earned the No. 1 rating for a regional
liberal arts college in the South in the magazine’s 1992 “Best
College Buys" issue.
In the same year, Cole was named to President-elect Bill
Clinton’s Transition Team as Ouster Coordinator for Education,
Labor, and the Arts and Humanities.
She presently is serving as the chairwoman of the presidents of
the 41 member institutions of the United Negro College Fund.
At age 15, Cole enrolled in an early admissions program at Fisk
University. She completed her undergraduate education at Oberlin
College and earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in anthro
pology from Northwestern University.
Cole began her teaching career at Washington State University,
where she was named outstanding faculty member of the year
She has also taught at the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst, Hunter College and the City University of New York.
house,” Young said. “The symptoms of
AIDS patients, especially in-stage AIDS
patients, vary greatly. Some people are hot
all the time; some people are cold all the
time.”
But the house is not a mere infirmary.
The home also has a backyard patio, an
office with desks and a fax machine, and,
in the living room, artwork donated by the
Somerhill Gallery in Eastgate Shopping
Center.

ago, and I can’t believe the difference the
