Police May Issue Murder
Charges in Subway Attack
TOKYO —Forthe first time, police are
considering bringing murder charges
against members of a doomsday cult for
last month’s nerve gas attack on Tokyo’s
subways, a newspaper reported.
Authorities have been hunting for a
group of 30 cult scientists who are sus
pected of preparing sarin, the nerve gas
used in the subway attack.
Until now, the most serious charge in
the March 20 attack that killed 11 people
was “preparing for murder” —a general
charge that doesn’t refer to specific vic
,;ms. But police are considering upgrading
that to homicide, the Asahi newspaper
reported Thursday.
The maximum punishment for homi
cide is execution or a life sentence.
One Year After Slaughter,
Rwanda Tries 6 for Crimes
KIGALI, Rwanda A year after
Rwandans started killing each other in a
tide of bloodletting that didn’t stop until at
least 500,000 people were dead, five men
and a teenage boy went on trial Thursday
for genocide.
Dressed in dirty pink prison clothes,
their faces were etched with fear as pros
ecutor Silas Munyagishali read the murder
charges against them. They are among
30,000 people, mostly majority Hutus, the
government has imprisoned on suspicion
of systematic acts of genocide against the
minority Tutsi people.
Those blamed for organizing the slaugh
ter have not yet been brought to trial.
After a 45-minute hearing Thursday,
the three-judge panel granted an unspeci
fied delay in the trial.
Defense Says Prosecution
Is Harassing Witnesses
LOS ANGELES O. J. Simpson’s at
torneys today accused prosecutors of ha
rassing and spying on defense witnesses,
while a juror dismissed for concealing a
domestic abuse incident acknowledged she
once had accused her husband of pushing
her and forcing sex on her.
Testimony, meantime, was canceled
today because two jurors were sick; pros
ecutor Christopher Darden said they had
the flu. The judge, fearful ofrunning out of
panelists, said he would rather postpone
the presentation of evidence than replace
the jurors with alternates from the dwin
dling pool. In requesting a hearing on mis
conduct, the defense alleged that prosecu
tors had improperly obtained information.
Serb Army Shells Sarajevo
Suburb; At Least 2 Killed
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Rebel Serbs shelled a Sarajevo suburb
Thursday, killing at least two civilians and
wounding three others, as the United Na
tions warned that Bosnia was headed for
“large-scale war.”
Both sides were ignoring a cease-fire,
with the Majevica mountains in the north,
near the government-held city of Tuzla,
the most active battlefront.U.N. observers
reported that heavy artillery and mortar
fire was continuing.
Bosnian army sources claimed govern
ment troops on Wednesday closed the only
escape route for Serbs defending a key
communications relay tower in the area.
But the Serb news agency, reported that
Serbs had recaptured a strategic hill.
Kurdish Rebels Kill 7 in
Raid on Turkish Village
HAT AY, Turkey—Kurdish guerrillas
raided a Turkish village near the Syrian
border and killed seven people, the re
gional governor said Thursday.
The raid late Wednesday on the moun
tain village in Turkey’s Hatay province
was the first in the region by Kurdish guer
rillas, who normally launch their cross
border raids from areas closer to Iraq.
About 35,000 Turkish troops poured
into northern Iraq on March 20 to try to
rout camps used by the guerrillas for hit
and-run attacks inside Turkey. The guerril
las, who belong to the Kurdistan Workers
Party, PKK, have been fighting for au
tonomy in southeastern Turkey since 1984.
During the raid, the Kurdish rebels ab
ducted eight men.

Students Plan Strategy to Fight Cuts
BY CHRISTINA MASSEY
STAFF WRITER
Concerned students met Thursday night
to discuss their plan of action one day after
the House proposed additional cuts to the
16-campus UNC-system’s budget.
Wednesday night, the House Appro
priations Subcommittee on Education pro
posed cuts to the UNC-system totaling
$47.9 million for the 1995-96 school year,
resulting in a 3.1 percent tuition increase
for students at all 16 campuses.
More than 20 student leaders from vari
ous campus organizations were angered
by the proposed budget and decided what
action they wanted to take to demonstrate
their opposition to the budget cuts and
tuition hikes.
“The purpose of the meeting was to
assess where the student body stood with
Helms Discusses U.S.
Foreign Trade Policies
BY COLBY SCHWARTZ
STAFF WRITER
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., met with
former Prime Minister of Thailand Anand
Panyarachun, Kenan Institute of Private
Enterprise Director JackKasardaand other
members of the Kenan Institute on Thurs
day at UNC to discuss his plan to reorga
nize U.S. foreign aid programs.
Helms’ plan calls fora decrease in direct
American monetary donations to foreign
governments in favor of using private en
terprise to aid foreign development.
In a press conference following the meet
ing, Helms said he thought the present
system needed to be changed.
‘'This business ofjust handing out money
willy-nilly to any government in the world,
that is just foolishness,” he said.
Helms said he thought his vision for
changes in foreign aid followed a well
known biblical verse.
“Give a man a fish, and it will feed him
for a day,” he said. “Teach him how to fish,
and he can eat for a lifetime.”
The State Department’s budget has in
creased dramatically in the last decade, but
Helms said he thought it could manage its
money better.
“In Egypt, we have 600 employers who
hand out money. This is absurd,” he said.
“We can tighten up using taxpayers’ money
to do a better job.
“As Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee chairman, I want to increase exports
from the U .S. to various parts ofthe world, ”
Helms said.
“We need to get away from giving
money away. We need to teach (other
countries) to do it themselves. This creates
jobs.”
The U.S.-Thailand Development Part
nership, managed by the Kenan Institute,
has served as a model for Helms’ vision for
future foreign relations efforts.
Funded with an $8 million, three-year
cooperative agreement award from the U. S.
Agency for International Development,
the Partnership has helped finance a coop
eration between U.S. companies and non
profit groups and Thai businesses and gov
ernment agencies without using traditional
handouts.
The partnership has matched U.S. tech

respect to University budget cuts,” Student
Body President Calvin Cunningham said.
“We want to brainstorm what we can do.
Our overarching goal is to set the campus
student agenda for spring.”
At the meeting, students planned a strat
egy for educating the campus about the
effects of the budget cuts and discussed
holding a rally at Polk Place, preferably in
conjunction with rallies at the 15 other
campuses in the UNC system.
“I would like to see a rally that brings
together all universities in the system,”
Aaron Nelson, president of the Young
Democrats, said at the meeting. “If we can
get all 16 universities to do something at
the same time in front of the General Ad
ministration buildings on each campus to
show that we were upset, we would be
better organized in our opposition to tu
ition increases and service decreases.”

Thailand’s economic and social needs.
As chairman of Kenan Institute Asia,
Panyarachun has overseen the partnership.
In the press conference, he said he thought
the U.S.-Thai relationship had flourished
since the partnership began last year.
Traditional handouts generally have not
been accepted in Thailand, Panyarachun
said in the press conference.
“Many Thais feel victimized by a chari
table relationship,” he said.
“We want to recognize (the United
States) as a big brother,” Panyarachun

but would like to see a strengthening of
entrepreneurial spirit in Thailand.”
Last week, Kasarda, the principal in
vestigator for the partnership, testified be

mittee at the invitation of Helms.
In his testimony, Kasarda used the part

integration of foreign aid with U.S. trade

Kasarda said he thought the develop

donor-recipient model.”

Home Run, Fanfare Open Bulls' Park
BY JAMES D. WHITFIELD
SENIOR WRITER
DURHAM After a yearlong wait,
the Durham Bulls’ new baseball park got
off to a “Wonderful” start Wednesday
night.
As in Wonderful Monds.
After all the carnival-like festivities
wrapped up and every one of the 6,340
shiny new seats folded out for the overflow
crowd of 10,886, Monds christened the
Durham Bulls Athletic Park with a home
run in the first-ever at bat by a Bulls player
at the new stadium.
“I was teasing a couple of players before
the game,” Monds said of his inaugural
homer. “Once he got behind in the count,
I was just hoping he would throw some
thing I could handle, and he did.”

“Proposed cuts to the University’s bud
get will harm the one state institution that
is recognized as first-class throughout the
nation,” Spangler said.
Provost Richard McCormick, in an in
terview Thursday, said the proposed bud
get cuts would be harmful to the Univer
sity. “These cuts are damaging to the Uni
versity, including its programs for teach
ing, research and service,” he said. “Un
dergraduates will feel the pain, as well as
graduate students and faculty.”
University officials are working to find
solutions to the proposed cuts, he said.
“We are studying proposals carefully,
and we hope members of the Senate will
vote against the cuts proposed in the house, ”
McCormick said. “We will work with the
office of the General Administration to
explain the effects of the cuts on students
and programs.”

definitely wasn’t the star attraction on
Durham’s big night.
Not with former Pittsburgh Pirates great
Willie Stargell taking his seat in one of the
12 skyboxes and Governor James B. Hunt
in attendance to throw out the first pitch.
“What do you think of this stadium?”
Hunt asked the crowd before hurling the
ball to Walter Sorgi—the Bulls’ first catcher
in 1945. “In my opinion this is the best
stadium, and Fenway Park (Boston’s an
cient ballpark) is second.”
The park, nestled into the heart of
Durham, definitely deserves the compari
son. While it features new-age designs that
benefit fans such as roomy seating and a
huge matrix board in center field, it also
sports several features characteristic of old
stadiums such as Fenway Park.
Accused E-Mail Hacker Has
A Day in Open Honor Court
BYNANCY FONTI
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
The freshman accused of hacking the
University ’s e-mail system was found guilty
and sentenced to 60 hours of community
service after an Honor Court hearing
the first open one in two years—that lasted
more than six hours Thursday.
Mark David Kucera, a freshman who
lives in 121 GranvilleTowersEast, will not
be allowed to use e-mail until his commu
nity service is completed.
Kucera was arrested Feb 14 and charged
with misusing an athletic pass and theft of
personal and academic materials.
He pleaded guilty to misusing the ath
letic pass and not guilty to theft.
Kucera allowed his hearing before the
Honor Court to be open. Assistant Dean of

Nathan Darling, student body treasurer,
said the problem with the budget extended
beyond the cuts and tuition hikes.
“What is really at stake here is public
higher education,” he said. “With these
actions, the legislature is saying that public
education is no longer a problem.”
Cunningham said students should take
an active role in protesting the budget cuts.
“I want to underscore the urgency with
which we must attack,” he said. “Our
University is being cut now. Budget cuts
and tuition increases affect all students
alike. Every student should be angered by
what the legislature has done to us.”
The money generated from tuition in
creases will not directly help the Univer
sity, Cunningham said. “All the increases
mean is that we are paying for prisons, ” he
said. “The tuition money is put in a general
fund and not given back to the University. ”
One of those features is the 24-foot wall
in left field which is an imitation of the
famous “Green Monster" at Fenway.
Because of the elegance, the park took a
full year longer to complete than originally
anticipated by architects. Many fans agreed
that it was well worth the wait.
