Russians Agree to Expand
Cease-Fire With Chechnya
SLEPTSOVSK, Russia—Amid guns,
grenades and skepticism, Russian and
Chechen officials agreed Wednesday to a
complete, two-day cease-fire in their war
over the breakaway republic of Chechnya.
A limited cease-fire arranged Monday
was punctuated by widespread artillery
ard missile attacks south of the Chechen
capital, and both sides have expressed
doubts the new pact would hold.
Even before the new agreement was
reached, Chechen President Dzhokhar
Dudayev was saying there was little hope
for a lasting peace.
As he has in the past, Dudayev insisted
that serious negotiations could only be
undertaken by presidents or prime minis
ters.
Prosecutors: Crime Scone
Blood Matches Simpson's
LOS ANGELES O.J. Simpson’s
blood was found on an alley gate near the
slashed bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson
and Ronald Goldman, a prosecutor said
Wednesday.
The match was determined through re
cently completed tests, Deputy District
Attorney Rockne Harmon said.
Previously, prosecutors said Simpson’s
blood had been found alongside bloody
footprints leading from the bodies, which
were found outside Nicole Simpson’s con
dominium.
The statement was made during a hear
ing out of the jury’s presence in which
attorneys argued over evidence sharing.
Harmon said the prosecution didn’t
want to turn over the gate blood sample to
the defense until it had had time to conduct
different tests aimed at undermining an
ticipated defense claims that police had
planted Simpson’s blood at the crime scene.
Peru Pulls Troopti Tanks
From Border With Ecuador
LIMA, Peru Peruvian forces began
to pull back troops and tanks Wednesday
from populated areas of the border with
Ecuador, a day after a shaky cease-fire
took hold.
More than half the troops and at least
300 tanks have returned to their bases, said
Carlos Calero of the government radio
station in Tumbes, 18 miles from the bor
der with Ecuador.
A cease-fire went into effect at noon
Tuesday. No fighting was reported
Wednesday, although both sides reported
fighting Tuesday.
Hostilities erupted Jan. 26 over an un
marked 48-mile stretch of border that is
said to contain valuable minerals, includ
ing gold and pil.
Iraqi Leader Takes Action
Against Shiite Muslims
CAIRO, Egypt lraqi President
Saddam Hussein has personally taken
charge of repulsing a fierce attack on his
army by Shiite Muslim rebels in Iraq’s
southern marshes, rebel sources said
Wednesday.
They called last weekend’s battles the
fiercest since the aftermath of the 1991
Persian Gulf War.
Rebel sources, who spoke on condition
of anonymity, said Saddam went to the
marsh area during the weekend to super

Gingrich Promises Budget
That Ends Deficit by 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. House Re
publicans will produce a budget this spring
that would eliminate the federal deficit by
the year 2002, Speaker Newt Gingrich
promised Wednesday.
The Georgia Republican also said the
GOP would impose spending limits on
Medicare and Medicaid, two of the
government’s biggest, fastest-growing pro
grams.
Until now, House Budget Committee
Chairman John Kasich, R-Ohio, has said
that the fiscal outline would move substan
tially toward a balanced budget but that it
would require that additional savings be
added in future years. The nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office estimates it
will take an immense $1.2 trillion in sav
ings to close the budget shortfall by 2002.

Graduate Students Could Feel Budget Pinch
BY SHARRON SCOTT
STAFF WRITER
Newly elected Graduate and Profes
sional Student Federation President Steve
Hoffmann said Wednesday that the pro
posal to increase student tuition would
hurt the competitiveness of the University
in attracting the best graduate students.
Hoffmann also said budget cuts on the
national level would hurt graduate stu
dents.
Gov. Jim Hunt’s budget proposal in
cludes a 2 percent increase in faculty sala
ries, reduction of nonteaching faculty and
protected positions, reduction of adminis
trative equipment, an increase in out-of
state student tuition during the next three
years, and a one-year 3.1 percent increase
of in-state tuition.
Hoffmann said the increase would af
fect the 35 percent to 45 percent of gradu
ate students who are not from North Caro
lina more because their tuition would go
up a total of 30 percent in the next three
years.
Ifthe proposal passes, tuition for out-of
state students would be almost $10,500 by
1996-97.
Hoffmann said this might lead students
to choose other schools, such as the Uni

cluding 2-of-4 from behind the 3-point arc.
North Carolina (23-3,10-3 ACC) took
control early. Using two Smith jumpers
and a 3-pointer by Jones, UNC grabbed a
12-2 lead in the first five minutes. The Tar
Heel defense was equally dominating, hold
ing the Tigers to only three field goals in the
first twelve minutes. At one point, the Tar
Heels led by 17.
But the Tigers (17-7, 7-5 ACC) came
clawing back, finding their range behind
Tara Saunooke, who led the Tigers with 15
first half points. Her shooting helped the
Tigers capitalize on UNC’s 29 percent field
goal percentage in the first half, and
Qemson closed the gap to 37-34 at the half.
“Like a lot of our games this year, we
started out playing very well,” head coach
Sylvia Hatchell said. “Then, we sort of
relaxed. It seems like after that second
timeout, we sort of relax a bit and other
teams catch up with us. We were in some
foul trouble in the first half, and the game
was very sloppy."
The game also got more physical as the
first half wore on. Smith and McKee were
being pushed around by Jaci Stimson and
Jennifer Davis. Smith routinely drew

“In practice yesterday, we worked on

think that really got us prepared for today’s
game because I was going up as strong as I

The tactics worked for Smith, who went

On the national level, budget cuts might
also affect the federal student loan pro
gram by eliminating "interest forgiveness, ”
in which the government pays the interest
on deferment loans.
According to the American Council on
Education, under the new proposal, an
average student with four years of under
graduate borrowing and two years of bor
rowing in a master’s program would owe
$9,167 more than the $34,125 that would
be owed under current law.
Hoffmann said the elimination of the
“interest forgiveness” would cause many
students to stay in school even longer be
cause they would have to take on addi
tional jobs, hence lessening their
courseloads.
This will force students to take more
loans because they will be in school longer,
he said.
“Itiscounter-productive. You’realmost
getting hit from two sides,”
Hoffmann also said the elimination of
“interest forgiveness” would deter some
students from going to graduate school at
all.

Stadium Renovations
May Begin Next Fall
Ram’s Club’s Donations
Will Add West End Zone,
New Field House to Kenan
BYNANCYFONTI
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Renovations to Kenan Stadium that
include adding 10,000 new seats and ex
panded Ram's Qub seating could begin as
early as next winter, the UNC athletic
director and the director of facility plan
ning said Wednesday.
The expansion, which would make
Kenan Stadium as up-to-date as the most
modem Atlantic Coast Conference facili
ties, might indelibly change the character
of the stadium, detractors say.
“We’re in the process of developing
plans to improve and expand the stadium, ”
said John Swofford, director of athletics.
“It will involve installing a west end zone
with permanent seats and anew football
fieldhouse behind the west end zone.”
The new fieldhouse will contain
coaches’ offices, dressing rooms, weight
rooms, training rooms and equipment
rooms, Swofford said.

Only 6 Incumbents Will
Return to Congress Seats
BY ADAM GUSMAN
UNIVERSITY EDITOR
What a difference an election makes.
When the 77th Student Congress takes
office in the spring, most of the faces will be
new. That’s because only six incumbent
congress candidates were re-elected Tues
day.
The congress will also be younger be
cause nine freshmen were elected among
the 13 undergraduate districts.
The fate of incumbent candidate Renee
Wilkerson, Dist. 21, is still undecided
she and Charles Walters tied for the third
seat in the district with 75 votes each. They
will meet in Tuesday’s runoff election.
One victorious candidate did not even
appear on the ballot. Terry Milner, a write
in candidate, won the law school, Dist. 1,
with 101 votes.
Congress Speaker Monica Qoud did
not seek re-election, nor did Speaker Pro
Tem Meredith Armstrong.
Finance committee Chairman Tom
Lyon is a senior this year, as are Reps.
Jonathan Justice and Amy Cummins.
In short, the new congress will be inex
perienced.

Teague said parts of the project—like a

Foundation were unnecessary.
More student seating might also be;

Restrooms and concession stands will
be built on the concourse level of the sta
dium, Swofford said.
“Over the years, we’ve had a hodge
podge of facilities for concession stands,’'
he said. “First of all, we don’t feel they are
very attractive in the overall beauty of the
stadium, and they cause the concourse of
the stadium to be cramped.”
The second level of the current
fieldhouse, which wasbuiltin 1927, would
be converted into areas for academic sup
port, Swofford said. The first floor of the
fieldhouse would be converted into
women's dressing rooms, he added.
