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.

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.

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

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.”

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.

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

Final Four Licensing Proceeds
To Help Fund UNC Scholarships

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

Sales of Tar Heel memorabilia such as

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

25 percent goes to the Department of Ath

While success in football, soccer, la

greatly to sales of UNC memorabilia, bas

“Success in basketball affects sales sub

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

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

what’s going on for women on campus,”
she said.
The task force’s immediate goals are to
