Japanese Doomsday Cult
Leader Stabbed by Rightist
TOKYO As police and dozens of
reporters looked on, a right-wing extremist
on Sunday ambushed and fatally stabbed a
senior leader of the doomsday cult sus
pected in the lethal nerve gas attack on
Tokyo’s subways.
The attack occurred as Hideo Murai,
36, head of the Aum Shinri Kyo (Supreme
Truth) cult’s “Science and Technology
Ministry," was returning to the cult’s To
kyo headquarters Sunday night. Murai was
one of the five top leaders of the cult.
Murai underwent surgery, but died of
blood loss and internal injuries several hours
later, according to a hospital spokesman.
The stabbing was the latest chapter in a
wave of violence that has deeply shaken
Japan, which has long taken the safety of
its streets as a matter of national pride.

Howard Cosell Dies at 77
NEW YORK —Howard Cosell, whose
flamboyant, caustic style made him the
most celebrated and controversial sports
caster of his time and made Monday-night
football a national institution, died Sun
day. He was 77.
Cosell, who underwent cancer surgery
in 1991, died at4a.m. EDT atthe Hospital
for Joint Diseases in New York, his grand
son Justin Cohane said.
Cohane said Cosell died of a heart em
bolism.
He was the strident, colorful voice of
ABC radio and television from 1953 to
1992—a period of phenomenal growth and
change in America’s pastimes, spurred by
televison’s cascading millions yet tainted
by drugs and greed among both athletes
and promoters.
Socialist Jospin Ahead in
First Round of French Vote
PARIS ln a startling upset, Socialist
Lionel Jospin finished first Sunday in the
opening round ofFrance’s presidential elec
tion, according to exit polls. The favorite,
conservative Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac,
took the second runoff spot.
Jospin, a former education minister,
benefited from infighting that divided the
more powerful right, but he feces an uphill
battle in the final round of voting May 7,
since French voters have tended to lean
right in recent elections.
Even with only a fraction of votes offi
cially counted, Conservative Premier
Edouard Balladur conceded he was elimi
nated and urged conservatives to back
Chirac.
French General Collects
Dead U.N. Peacekeepers
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
For a second Sunday in a row, French
officials flew to Sarajevo to collect the
bodies of dead peacekeepers and return
them home from Bosnia.
Just minutes after the chief of staff of the
French army, Gen. Marc Monchal, ar
rived, another French soldier was injured
when he stepped on a mine in the govern
ment-held suburb of Butmir, just south of
the airport.
That soldier was in stable condition
with minor leg injuries, said Capt. Myriam
Sochacki, a UN spokeswoman.
Most of Bosnia appeared to be quiet,
but artillery exchanges continued along a
key corridor of land in northern Bosnia
held by rebel Serbs.
In Sarajevo, hospital officials said two
civilians were wounded by Serb sniper fire.

Hardin Bashes Proposed Budget Cuts in Speech to Board of Visitors

the University would never recover if the

Separate Funding May Raise
Chancellors’ Pay by a Third
STAFF REPORT
The successor to Chancellor Paul Hardin just got a
pay raise without even moving into South Building.
The UNC Board of Governors approved UNC
system President C.D. Spangler’s plan Friday to supple
ment chancellors’ salaries by as much as 33 percent
with private donations.
The plan would allow the school to pay its chancel
lor as much as $200,000, which would make the
University more attractive to potential candidates.
Under the proposal, money from a foundation
related to the institution could
be used. The funds would have
to be approved by the BOG and
be made public.
Spangler saidhethoughtthe
move would aid UNC’s ongo
ing chancellor search. Accord
ing to the Associated Press, he
said, “I believe if this did not
pass, it would change the com
position of their search to the
point that they would have to
start over.
“My guess is everything
they’re doing right now is con
tingent on this.”
Some have complained that
the $150,000 the University paid its chancellor was
not comparable to salaries offered at other universi
ties.
Still, Spangler insisted his proposal was not merely
a response to UNC’s chancellor search. He said he’d
been concerned for years that many UNC-system
chancellors took pay cuts in order to join the system.
According to the Associated Press, Hardin said an
increase in salaries would help attract top candidates.
He said that he had been willing to leave Drew Univer
sity for UNC because he wanted to return to North
would be very harmful to the University,
Hardin said.
“I don’t know why we’re going to cut
back on the best thing this state has ever
had going for it,” he said.“lf these cuts are
enacted, we’ll never recover—the damage
will be permanent.”
The cuts include raising out-of-state tu
ition at UNC, N.C. State University and
the N.C. School of Arts, the three most
attractive schools to out-of-staters, Hardin
said.

Carolina but that other candidates might not overlook
the salary issue as readily.
“We’re not always going to be able to find someone
who the search committee and president feel has the
requisite experience and who has that kind of blind
devotion to Chapel Hill,” Hardin said.
According to Spangler’s plan, UNC campuses could
add as much as one-third of the chancellor’s base
salary, which is paid by the state. That means maxi
mum salary increases would range from $29,000 at
Elizabeth City State University to $50,000 at UNC
and N.C. State University.

The House has proposed a 6.66 percent
cut for the 1995-96 fisml year and an 8.64
percent cut for the 1996-97 fiscal year for
the University.
The House proposals will discourage
graduate students from attending UNC
because their tuition will increase and the
pay of teaching assistants will decrease,
Hardin said.
