W\t Sattu ®ar MM i> Volume 103, Issue 23 102 years ofeditorial freedom Serving the students and the University community since 1893 IN THE NEWS Top stories from the state, nation and world Rwandans Urged to Return To Burundi Refugee Camps BUJUMBURA, Burundi U.N. aid workers persuaded tens of thousands of Rwandan refugees on Sunday to return to their camps inside Burundi, which they had fled in fear last week. The government of Burundi also launched a nationwide campaign to calm ethnic tensions that killed at least 150 people in the capital, Bujumbura, a week ago. Encircled by soldiers with automatic weapons, President Sylvestre Ntibantunganya found his message of peace received with cheers, open hostility or indifference depending on the ethnic mix in each neighborhood he visited. Even as the president spoke in one rela tively calm area, Hutus and soldiers clashed nearby, leaving three men dead and one woman seriously injured. Investigators Converge at Scene of Romanian Crash BUCHAREST, Romania —Dozens of mourners mingled Sunday with investiga tors who continued to find body parts and personal belongings strewn about a field where an airliner crashed, killing all 60 people on board. One man lit candles and placed daffo dils in a snarled piece of metal from the fuselage of the Airbus A3lO. Investigators around him sifted through the field in the village ofßalotesti, about 13 miles north of Bucharest, where debris from Friday’s Tarom airlines crash littered a wide area. Equipment was being flown in from France to analyze the plane’s flight data recorders. Two Aftershocks Follow Weekend Quake Near Tokyo TOKYO Two aftershocks rattled northwestern Japan on Sunday, the day aftera 6.0-magnitude earthquake damaged hundreds of buildings and forced nearly 300 people to seek refuge in shelters. No injuries or damage were reported in the aftershocks. Saturday’s quake injured 39 people and damaged 504 buildings and houses, said police spokesman Tokuji Komagata in Niigata, 160 miles northwest of Tokyo. Sunday’s first aftershock had a magni tude of 5.2, the Central Meteorological Agency said. The second, eight hours later, had a magnitude of 4.2. The earthquake that killed 5,500 people in the Kobe area of western Japan on Jan. 17 had a magnitude of 7.2. Negotiations Resume in Worker Strike in Michigan PONTIAC, Mich. General Motors Corp. resumed talks with autoworkers Sunday in an attempt to settle a strike that has halted production of hot-selling pick ups. About 5,500 workers at GM’s Pontiac East truck plant walked out Friday morn ing in a dispute over claims of labor short ages and a lack of job security. Negotiators made some progress in about seven hours of meetings Saturday, said Jim Abare, spokesman for United Auto Workers Local 594. GM spokes woman Sherrie Childers would not com ment on the talks Sunday. The union wants the company to create jobs at the plant for 1,500 workers whose positions were eliminated when GM closed its Pontiac West truck assembly plant in December.

Arkansas Sends Tar Heels to Hog Hell 12-Minute Field Goal-Less Stretch Dooms UNC vs. Razorbacks in Final Four BY STEVE ROBBLEE SENIOR WRffER SEATTLE—Arkansas had used plenty of luck throughout this season’s NCAA Tournament, but it didn’t need much luck in its 75-68 win over North Carolina Satur day in the Final Four. The Hogs (32-6) pressed and outshot the Tar Heels (28-6) before 38,540 at the Kingdome in earning their way to the N CAA finals tonight, where they will play U( :<t A J Men's Basketball “In order to ""■ winchampion- .j 2® ships,youhave Arkan5e5............ 75 to be lucky," Arkansas head coach Nolan Richardson said. “You can’t be lucky if you don’t put yourself in a position to be lucky.” Arkansas put itself in good position by turning up its defense in the second half, and that was the difference in the game. The Tar Heels led 50-49 with 15:15 left when Jerry Stackhouse hit a 3-pointer. But UNC would not make another field goal until there was just 2:38 left, a span of 12:37. “It was more our failure to score and theirgood defense than ourdefense,” UNC head coach Dean Smith said. “We played well enough defensively to win the basket ball game.” RichardsonsaidUNC’sconferenceplay had not prepared them for Arkansas’ de fensive schemes. The Razorbacks’ defen sive “40 Minutes of Hell,” so named be cause ofits relentless pressure, could notbe found in the ACC. “Watching the tape, we felt that the ACC does not play the kind of basketball that we play,” Richardson said. “They are a halfcourt basketball team which occa sionally breaks. We felt that if we contin- See MEN’S BASKETBALL, Page 7 Will They Stay or Will They Go? 3 Seniors Gone; Sophomores Undecided SEATTLE The season wasn’t supposed to end for another two days. Perhaps it was just some cruel April Fool’s joke. Everyone on the UNC basketball squad expected to win Saturday against Arkansas. The Tar Heels weren’t looking past the Hogs, there was just a certain feeling among them —a special kind of confidence. They did everything right in the first half against the Hogs. But in the second half, things went awry. Perhaps they should blame OklahomaState’sßryantßeeves. The Tar Heels were shooting at the backboard and goal that replaced the ones Big Country destroyed Friday in practice witha thunderous jam. Maybe that shattered glass and that other cyl inder were a bit softer, and some of the shots the Tar Heels missed during their 12-plus minute drought would have gone down. Whateverthereason.UNC’s 1994- 95 season ended two days early. The loss also marked an early exit for three outstanding seniors and left a whirl- wind of questions about the All-America sophomores. So many story lines fell short of their appropriate endings when Corliss Williamson knocked down that last layup to seal Arkan sas’ 75-68 victory over the Tar Heels. ■ The Fairy Tale How many of us have lived vicariously through Pearce Landry the past two seasons? How many of us have dreamed we were wearing the Carolina blue, driving the Smith Center baseline, living the ultimate college basketball dream? In Landry’s case, Cinderella’s magical night came to an abmpt halt at 11:30 p.m. instead of midnight. See FUTURE, Page 7 Final Four Licensing Proceeds To Help Fund UNC Scholarships BY VICTOR D. HENDRICKSON STAFF WRITER Unfortunately, the Tar Heels’ trip to Seattle for the Final Four did not end with a national championship, but the team’s success in the tournament did boost UNC memorabilia sales tremendously, benefit ing University students with increased funds for scholarships. Sales of Tar Heel memorabilia such as T-shirts, baseball caps and sweatshirts in creased greatly after the men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament, said Biruta Nielsen, contracts administrator for the University. “All you had to do was walk down Franklin Street last week and see all of the Final Four memorabilia for sale,” Nielsen said.

Police, Bars Report Peaceful Wallowing on Franklin Following Loss BYSANDRAMOSER STAFF WRUER Hundreds of rolls of toilet paper were conserved, countless dollars destined to be spent on beer were saved, and thou sands of Chapel Hill students were actually in bed by daylight after the Tar Heels lost to Arkansas in Saturday’s Final Four game. Many expected UNC crowds, whether the Tar Heels won or lost, to take to the streets when the buzzer sounded. Although Franklin Street was not the scene of a champion ship celebration Saturday night, it was not a scene of mayhem and chaos, either. Overall, “there was a really good crowd, ” Ham’s manager Kara Sharrand said. Sharrand said that at the game’s conclusion the almost 300 people at Ham’s were quiet but not angry. “The crowd hung around forawhile,about 45 minutes to anhour,and then they went on their way,” she said. She added that aside from renting some extra televisions, tables and chairs and schedul ing additional waiters and cooks, Ham’s had taken no other precautions and that it had had no problems. The police were out in full force, yet under the circum stances, Chapel Hillstudents remained ontheirbestbehavior.

Seventy-five percent of the money gen erated by memorabilia sales goes to schol arships or student aid, and the remaining 25 percent goes to the Department of Ath letics, she said. While success in football, soccer, la crosse and other sports also contributes greatly to sales of UNC memorabilia, bas ketball remains the largest contributor, Nielsen said. “Basketball is the big one,” she said. “Success in basketball affects sales sub stantially.” The revenue from licensed trademark memorabilia contributes a good percent- Sec SCHOLARSHIPS, Page 2 CfcaHM,NMtfcCaNlM MONDAY, APRIL 3,1995 UNC Task Force Tackles Women’s Issues BY BETH GLENN STAFF WRITER One year and one month after it was first proposed, the Chancellor’s Task Force on the Status ofWomen held its first meet ing Friday. The committee’s charge from the chan cellor consists of two parts: to inventory and evaluate existing services for women on campus and to suggest strategies for improving the quality of those resources. The task force was initially proposed to study the most appropriate structure for creating a women’s center on campus, but first the group is investigating what re sources already exist on campus. “We’d rather think more broadly than a women’scenter initially,’’saidJaneßrown, chairwoman oftheFaculty Council. “Right now, there’s no central place or group of people who know what’sgoing on or what’s missing and how we can do better. At the moment when we know all those things, then we can ask if a center is what we ■s. * J&i. jMF SPECIAL TO THE DTH/DOUG BEHAR Jerry Stackhouse, who hasn’t said what his plans are for next year, doesn't get much help from Arkansas' Scotty Thurman (30) and Corliss Williamson. need.” Brown asked the committee to remain open to all possibilities because in addition to investigating the possibility of a women’s center, the task force had the power to suggest completely new ideas. “Another possibility is a high-level ad ministrator who coordinates and oversees what’s going on for women on campus,” she said. The task force’s immediate goals are to compile a list of existing resources for women in all campus departments and to Can You Liven Up the DTK?
