Groundhog Doesn't See
Shadow; Spring on the Way
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa.—Break out
the gardening gloves and fire up the char
coal grill: Spring is almost here. At least
according to Punxsutawney Phil.
The chubby groundhog, possibly the
world’s most famous forecaster, failed to
see his shadow as he was hauled from a
man-made burrow Thursday, indicating
according to legend that winter is
almost over.
A crowd of about 7,000 cheered loudly
as the announcement was made under
overcast, chilly skies.
It is only the 10th or 11th time since
1887 that the groundhog has predicted an
early spring, depending on whose count
you believe. The last time was in 1990.
Middle Eastern Leaders
Seek Solutions to Impasse
CAIRO, Egypt—The leaders ofEgypt,
Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians held an
unprecedented summit Thursday to try to
revive the faltering peace process and avert
further bloodshed.
The meeting represented a dramatic
show of unity among Israel and its three
Arab peace partners. But disillusionment
with the Israel-PLO agreement runs deep,
and their ability to stem murderous attacks
by Islamic militants was uncertain at best.
The key players, Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser
Arafat, were bound to find it difficult to
make die concessions since their positions
at home are already precariously weak.
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said he,
the other foreign ministers and leaders of
the Palestine Liberation Organization were
expected to meet next week in Washing
ton, D.C. to push the peace talks forward.
Tensions Continue to Grow
Along PerihEcuador Border
LIMA, Peru Peru and Ecuador
moved closer to a cease-fire agreement
today in their jungle border war, while war
fever raged unabated in both countries.
New clashes were reported Wednesday
in the Cenepa River region on the eastern
edge of the Andes, where fighting broke
out last week. Ecuador claimed that Peru
vian troops had attacked two of its posi
tions. Ecuador accepted Peru’s proposal
for a cease-fire at talks that ended early this
morning, Julio Freyre, an adviser to the
Argentine ambassador, told The Associ
ated Press.
Theplan,proposedbyPresidentAlberto
Fujimori of Peru, includes establishing a
demilitarized zone along the border and
deploying independent observers. Talks
between the two countries were to resume
later today in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Cuban Refugees Return to

day to the homeland they fled last summer.
The refugees were more upbeat than the
first group flown to Guantanamo on
Wednesday. The refugees are becoming

Cuba’s eastern tip will be temporary.
Since September, almost 8,500 Cubans
who fled their country on rickety rafts and
inner tubes have stayed at camps on the
banks of the Panama Canal surrounded by
concertina wire. They were transferred
from Guantanamo Bay because of over
crowding there.

In Their Dreams
For the third straight year, The Daily
Tar Heel staffbet the suckers who work
for Duke’s student newspaper, The
Chronicle, on the UNC-Duke game.
The bet was that if Duke won
(chuckle, snort), the DTH would run its
masthead in hell blue and write the fol
lowing lie on the front page: “Duke: still
No. 1.” But since good has once again
prevailed over evil, The Chronicle must
run its masthead in Carolina blue and
write “Dean Smith is God” on the front
page.
The numbers don’t lie: 102-100.0-8.
So go pick up a Chronicle, but don’t
stay on campus too long. We’d hate for
you to forget that we’re not in New
Jersey.

UNC Dunks Duke in 2 OTs
Devils Had Their Chances,
But Williams’ Shot, Mclnnis’
Steal Secure Tar Heel Win

SENIOR WRITER
DURHAM lt might not have been
No. 1 vs. No. 2, but there’s no doubt this
one will go down as one of the best North
Carolina-Duke matchups in the series’ his
tory.
It took two overtimes to do it, but No. 2

at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The game was in question down to the
last secondas Duke’s Steve Wojciechowski,
in for starter Jeff Capel, who fouled out
moments earlier, just missed a 14-footer
that would have knotted the score and
forced a third overtime.
Duke sophomore Greg Newton pulled
down the carom, but his fallaway at the
buzzer fell short. A errant pass by Newton
following a Donald Williams 18-footer led
to UNC’s final bucket of the game. Jeff
Mclnnis stole the pass and put the Tar
Heels(l7-1,7-1 in the ACC) ahead 102-98.
Duke’s Ricky Price hit a jumper with 37
seconds left, but the Blue Devils (10-10,0-
8) just missed a second miraculous come
back.
The first miracle for Duke came at the
end of the first overtime. Serge Zwikker
had an opportunity to seal the game for
UNC with a single free throw and four
seconds left, but both attempts fell short.
Duke’s Cherokee Parks corralled the sec
ond miscue and fed Capel with time tick
ing away.
The Fayetteville native hurled a prayer
from just inside half court, and someone
upstairs was listening. The ball found the
bottom of the net, the Cameron Crazies
went ballistic, and UNC junior Dante
Calabria could only smile as he walked to
the huddle.
“It was a fun game to play in—it’s what
you dream about growing up,” Calabria
said.
But for Capel and his teammates, the
dream came up short of a happy ending.
Parks has been through the storied rivalry
for the last four years and said that
Thursday’s tilt was an all-time classic.
“This was one of the best games I’ve
ever been a part of,” said Parks, who fin

were competing really hard. The rivalry is
always that way between Carolina and
Duke. I’m positive that we didn’t disap
point anybody.”
The contest obviously caught the atten
tion of UNC head coach Dean Smith.
“I’ve never seen anything like that, ” the
Tar Heel skipper said. “Two teams just so
competitive and going after it.”
UNC had an opportunity to put the
game away, but Duke decided it would go

Foiled Again: Late Tar Heel Heroics
Send Duke to Another Crushing Loss
BY STEVE ROBBLEE
SENIOR WRITER
DURHAM —The hurting just keeps on coming
for the Duke Blue Devils.
“Routine win,” UNC head coach Dean Smith
joked after the Tar Heels knocked off the Blue Devils
102-100 in double overtime.
Nothing is routine for Duke this season. It seems
that in every game, Duke now 0-8 in the confer
ence finds anew way to lose an ACC game.
This time Duke squandered a nine-point lead in
the final 6:16 to send the game into overtime. But
that wasn’t the first time the Blue Devils had let a
team come back in their building to send the game
SAFETY
BY LAURA GROSS
STAFF WRITER
Student safety is an issue that never quite disap
pears from campus political discussion for one
essential reason: students think it’s important.
Indeed, a recent Daily Tar Heel scientific poll of
the student body found that improving campus safety
ranked as the No. 1 issue for students.
Perhaps the recent shootings on Henderson Street
contributed to this phenomenon, or perhaps students care
about safety because they know one of the 358 victims of
campus crime in 1993. Or it could be that students have
been exposed to statistics about the increase in violent
crime in Chapel Hill and across the nation.
In 1993, the most recent year for which statistics are
available, there were more forcible sex offenses, aggra
vated assaults, and drag and weapons violations reported
at UNC than in 1992. At the same time, there were
substantial decreases in other, less violent, forms of crime
such as burglary and motor vehicle theft.
Students say they are worried by these figures, and they
don’t even include crimes against students that occurred
off campus.
But what can be done? As students consider candidate
proposals to increase safety, it could be useful to know
what steps the University has already taken.
Crime on Cimpui
Prevention comes in many forms on a college campus.
It can mean education, emergency call boxes, well-lit
paths and escort services. UNC has all of these, but

to overtime this season.
The same thing happened against Virginia, when
Duke led by 21 at the half.
This game wasn't like all those others, though.
This was Duke and North Carolina. The game.
Jeff Capel hit a shot from nearly half-court at the
end of the first overtime to tie the game at 95.
“It can’t happen again,” one Duke fan said,
thinking of the Virginia game where Duke fell in
double overtime.
It did happen ... again.
North Carolina led by six points with just 15
seconds left in overtime, but still Duke would not

Friends, Team
Reminisce About
Lacrosse Player
BY JUSTIN SCHEEF
SPORTS EDITOR
Exampie is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer, German philosopher and doctor.
“That is exactly how Kev lived his short-lived life,” said Rob
Tobin, best friend and teammate of slain lacrosse player Kevin
Reichardt.
Almost 600 friends, family members, and UNC athletes and
administrators came to Skipper B owles Hall in Koury Natatorium
Thursday night to reminisce about the sophomore, who was laid
to rest Tuesday in Annapolis, Md.
The Riva, Md., native was shot dead
by a gunman Jan. 26 as he rode his bike
on Henderson Street. He was on his
way to practice.
Reichardt’s teammates and coach
remembered him as a student, a player and a friend.
“This week, we all shed tears for the loss of our Kevin,” said
Steve Schreiber, a UNC defenseman. “We must remember Kevin
and be proud of all he has accomplished. He was a great athlete.
He was a great student. But above all, he was a great person.”
Tobin said: “He’d say, ‘What’s up, man,’ and flash that smile
of perfection. That was Kev: laid back, soft-spoken, a ball of joy
Tobin told how Reichardt would take
on new challenges and succeed.
“Instead of being content, he would
continue to set goals and work even harder
toward the tougher finishline,” said Tobin,
who attended St. Mary’s High School with
Reichardt. “You see, the sky was the limit
for Kev. There was no stopping him.”
The mood at the memorial was mostly
somber, but lacrosse head coach Dave
Klarmann, known for his wit, sparked the
only laughter of the hourlong service.
Klarmann detailed a conversation he
had last year with Reichardt concerning
lacrosse, a fierce sport.
“I told him that he was too well-adjusted, too stable,” he said.
“I thought his parents loved him too much. If he wanted to be
more effective at this level, he would have to become a little
nastier, a little meaner, a little tougher.”
Klarmann said he could never get Reichardt, a midfielder on
the team, to leam how to cheat on a faceoff. The sixth-year head
coach also praised Reichardt for his continued improvement on
the field as a defender.
But Klarmann said Reichardt was more than just an athlete.
“In Kev’s short time with us, he brought us nothing but joy,
courage, hope, passion, and most importantly —and now most
ironically —a great respect for his fellow man,” he said.
“His worth to mankind exceeds any event on any athletic field.
His influence transcends the mundane. He’s with us in all things.”
Reichardt, a business major, was named to the dean’s list twice
as well as to the 1994 ACC Honor Roll. He also served on the
Athletic Director’s Student Advisory Council.
Klarmann said, “His desire to play was matched by his deter
mination in succeeding in the classroom.”
Schreiber said Reichardt’s ability to set and achieve goals was
one of his greatest assets.
