House Fails to Approve
Term-Limits Amendment
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Political in
sults flew Thursday in the aftermath of the
House failure to approve a constitutional
amendment limiting congressional terms.
Senators said they’d get their turn within
months.
Supporters said there would be votes on
three separate measures. One, a constitu
tional amendment requiring a two-thirds
majority, would set national limits of 12
years apiece in each chamber. Also in line
for consideration are two bills requiring
simple majorities—one that would autho
rize states to set limits and a second that
would fix 12-year limits in each chamber.
Security Council Extends
Sanctions Against Libya
UNITED NATIONS The Security
Council extended sanctions against Libya
on Thursday for its refusal to surrender
suspects in the bombing of Pan Am Flight
103.
The Boeing 747 exploded over
Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988,
killing 270 people.
The United States has led the campaign
to pressure the government of Col.
Moammar Gadhafi to hand over two men
for trial in a U.S. or British court. Security
Council resolutions have backed that de
mand. In a renewed U.S. bid to toughen
sanctions, Ambassador Madeleine Albright
urged other nations to join in a worldwide
embargo on Libyan oil exports.
U.S. Examines Involvement
In Assassination in Haiti
WASHINGTON, D.C. As Presi
dent Clinton prepared to visit Haiti, U.S.
officials examined allegations Thursday
that Haitian government officials were in
volved in the execution of an outspoken
opponent.
The death of Mireille Durocher Bertin,
who was unofficial spokeswoman for the
deposed military dictatorship, appeared to
dim some of the luster from what officials
had hoped would be a triumphal presiden
tial visit to Haiti on Friday.
Testifying before the House Interna
tional Relations Committee on Thursday,
Secretary ofState Warren Christopher con
demned the killing.
Israeli Army Plans to Leave
West Bank but Not Hebron
JERUSALEM—The army has drawn
up a plan that would uproot military bases
from six West Bank towns but leave troops
in Hebron, where friction is high between
Jewish settlers and Arab residents, officials
said Thursday.
The plan is part of a strategy to persuade
the Palestine Liberation Organization to
accept a troop withdrawal on a much
smaller scale than Israel promised in the
original Israel-PLO agreement.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin is under
intense pressure to address public disen
chantment with the accord, which has
grown with each successive attack by Pal
estinian militants who killed 60 Israelis in
five months.

Stallings: Policy Ruling likely by June
BY NANCY FONTI
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
The chairman of the UNC Board of
Governors nondiscrimination policy sub
committee said Thursday that a revised
policy would probably be considered by
the BOG in April or June.
“I really believe it will be considered by
June, but I don’t want to make a judgment
of whether it will be passed or not, ” Joseph
Stallings said. “I don’t want to speak for
other members of the board. ”

Dean Smith Returns to Site of '52 Title;
Injuries May Hinder Team in Final Four
BYJACSONLOWE
SENIOR WRITER
Dean Smith’s last trip to Seattle for a Final Four was in 1952,
when he played for the national champion Kansas Jayhawks. He
has claimed for many years to have that game on film, and he says
it’s the only proof he has that he contributed 29 seconds to that
year’s championship.
According to the now-famous (at least among local media)
legend, Kansas head coach Roy Williams has taken steps to add
Smith’s name to the final box score, which left out the Emporia,
Kan., native originally.
Now that officialhislory has been altered, Smith gets to contrib
ute once again to Seattle’s Final Four lore. This time the site is the
Kingdome, not the Edmundson Pavilion, and his contributions
definitely will be in the spotlight this time around.
All season, critics have charged that UNC’s squad is not deep
enough, and a great starting five is no longer good enough.
However, 28 wins and five setbacks later, Smith is ready to once
again prove the critics wrong in college basketball’s final week
end.

“It is important to have an enlightened
and informed consensus rather than to
rush to vote,” Stallings said in January.
But the lack of attendance Thursday
was perhaps an indication of the reluc
tance on the part of some BOG members to
pass the new policy.
Former Gov. Jim Martin has been the
most outspoken critic ofthe policy. He said
in January that he thought the policy was
unnecessary and that the term “sexual ori
entation” was unclear.
The revised policy would expand the
current policy to forbid discrimination
based upon age, handicap and sexual ori

inexperienced," Smith said. “I think that’s why we’ve
improved so much here lately. We’ve finally devel
oped some habits about what we want to do defen
sively and rebounding technique boxing out is
better.”
With all the team’s improvements, both among
the starting five and the bench, the only thing that
might stand in the way of Smith’s third title is not
having able bodies to coach. Since the NCAA Tour
nament began, the post-game locker room has looked
more like a scene out of M*A*S*H, with ice packs
here and wrapped up limbs there.

that kind of stay abroad would be totally

Town Council member Joe Capowski,
who has said he would most likely run for
mayor if Broun did not, said Braun’s offi

an announcement that Capowski was run

“Today, it means the same thing: that I
will either seek the office of mayor or re

Capowski said. He said he would make a
decision public sometime in May.
