Rabin, Arafat Sign Historic
Middle East Peace Accord
WASHINGTON, D.C. ln another
milestone toward peace, Israeli Prime Min
ister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chief Yasser
Arafat signed a historic agreement Thurs
day ending Israel’s military occupation of
West Bank cities and laying the founda
tion for a Palestinian state.
“We want you as good neighbors,” the
gravelly voiced Rabin told Arafat, his one
time blood enemy.
“Enough killing and enough killing of
innocent people,” Arafat declared to loud
applause.

and she is also a fine athlete,” said Jane
Miller, who coached Slingluff for fouryears
at Virginia. “I think she’s done a lot of the
right things to develop herself as a coach;
all of her playing experience can only ben
efit her.”
UNC’s Athletic Department seemed no
less sure of SlinglufFs abilities. She was
selected after a nationwide search for all
qualified applicants.
“Jenny is a great young coach,” said
Beth Miller, senior associate director of
athletics at UNC. “She’s extremely quali
fied and experienced. She is also an ex
tremely self-motivated individual. We think
she is the perfect fit for Carolina.”
Slingluff also said she thought UNC
was the perfect fit for her. “Carolina is
great for me personally,” Slingluff said. “I
love the atmosphere of the student body.
The attitudes of the people I work with
really complement me.”
This is not Slingluffs first coachingjob.
Before being chosen as UNC’s head coach,
she was the assistant coach ofGeorgetown’s
women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams
for two years.
Despite this impressive resume, Slingluff
never planned on coaching. She majored
in communications and began working in
a physical therapy office after graduation.
Although she was bored with her work and
wanted to try something new, she refused
all of the coaching jobs she was offered.
“I kept getting a lot of calls from high
schools that wanted me to come coach for
them, but I kept telling them no, ” Slingluff
said. “Then I was offered the job at
Georgetown and thought I’d try it.”
She soon found out she loved her job.
“The revelation happened once I got in
volved in coaching,” Slingluff said. “It
kind of hit me in the face. One day, I

President Clinton presided over two
hours of speeches and pageantry before an
audience of2oo diplomats, foreign minis

Congress. Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak and Jordan’s King Hussein joined
Clinton as witnesses to the accord.
To worldwide acclaim, Arafat and
Rabin signed a tortuously negotiated agree
ment for Israel to relinquish control of
territory it captured from Jordan in the
1967 Six-Day War.
The agreement outlines in painstaking
detail the step-by-step withdrawal of Is
raeli forces and the transfer of governing
authority for Palestinian self-rule in 30
percent of the West Bank, containing most
of its Arab population. The accord also
allows for Palestinian elections.

realized, ‘Wow, I really like this.’ I never
wanted to become a coach, it just hap
pened. But now that I am, I really want to
be a coach, and I want to be a very good
one.”
The pressure of starting anew sports
program would seem overwhelming to
most, but Slingluff has taken it all in stride.
“The pressure I feel is my own. I have a
lot of expectations of myself, although oth
ers don’t really have any expectations ofus
because we are anew team, ” Slingluff said.
But Slingluff refuses to let her team use
their first-year status as an excuse for medi
ocrity. “She is on the cutting edge of la
crosse,” said Sharon Moore, a fifth-year
graduate student who plays for the team.
“Her attitude is the best thing about her;
she refuses to use the excuse that we’re a
first-year team.”
Although Slingluff loves playing and
coaching the game of lacrosse, she said she
took this position primarily because she
enjoyed interacting with her players.
“I’m coaching for them, for the student
athletes, ” Slingluff said. “If you aren’t in it
for them, then you’re in the wrong busi
ness. Iseethemmore than their boyfriends,

“Croatia will start the repatriation in an
organized way and in phases,” said
Adalbert Rebic, the head of Croatia’s refu
gee agency.
Forces of the Muslim-led Bosnian gov
ernment and its Croat allies have swept
across large tracts of territory once held by
rebel Serbs in western Bosnia. It is land
they would likely claim under a U.S.-
backed peace plan that would divide the
country into ethnic segments.
About 80,000 Serbs fled the offensive in
western Bosnia. By settling non-Serb refu
gees on the vacated land, the other sides
hope to strengthen their claim to the area.
Croatia already has stripped about 100,000
people of their refugee status. Most are
Bosnian Croats.
Bosnian Serb rebel leader Radovan
Karadzic said Thursday in the northern
Serb stronghold ofßanja Luka, where many
Serb refugees have fled in recently, that
peace could be achieved “in a few weeks.”
Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic
made a similar prediction Wednesday, but
cautioned that peace was possible only if
the international community remained firm

According to many of her players, the
impression that Slingluff makes on them is
definitely positive. “I think she is amazing,
a wonderfol person, ” said Ridgely Bennett,
a freshman from Baltimore whom Slingluff
recruited. “She is young, very personable
and intense. She is the reason a lot of us
freshmen came here rather than going to a
top-level team.”
Slingluff said she thought sports could
play an extremely important role in the
lives of women by improving their self
confidence and leadership skills.
“Sports make women physically fit, self
directed and confident, but they also teach
them to set goals outside of their primary
relationships," Slingluff said. “Often
women don’t set goals, they just exist.

Franck also said he supported reforms

Sierra Club implement in town elections
this fall.
“With a lack of enforcement, the money

BYARUNIMAPANDE
STAFF WRITER
The School of Journalism and Mass
Communication will honor a former stu
dent with a memorial service at 1:30 p.m.
today in Howell Hall Auditorium.
Robin Clark died in a car accident in
California on Aug. 4, while covering the
O.J. Simpson trial for the Los Angeles
bureau of the Philadelphia Inquirer. He
was 40.
“He lived life to the fullest, he built
people up instead of tearing them down,”
said Richard Cole, dean of the School of
Journalism.
The memorial will begin with a wel
come from Cole, who will speak about
Clark’s achievements. He will also discuss
the Robin Clark Experience, a memorial
fund to honor Gark.
Clark was a well-known journalist who
attended the j ournalism school until 1977.
He was a writer and a summer editor for

Organizers ofUNC’s AmeriCorps com
munity service initiative say they will seek
private funding if the Senate’s VA/HUD
appropriations bill is signed into law by the
president.
But President Clinton has vowed to
veto the bill if it reaches his desk in its
current form. The Senate voted Tuesday to
approve the defunding of the AmeriCorps
program which provides educational grants
and living stipends to community service
volunteers of 14 programs in North Caro
lina, one of them at UNC.
In the 1994-1995 academic year, North
Carolina received $2.2 million in federal
grants through the AmeriCoips commu

The scholarship program covers the

scholars with six years of secondary educa

company, Matope International, in order
to raise the money to make the program an
annual event. Gark said half of the money
needed to sponsor a second class of schol
ars has already been raised, adding that a
party could fully sponsor one of the 10
scholars for about $2,000.
In addition to Matope International,
Gark and Pike established an on-campus

“This is a wonderful opportunity to
experience something new in a student’s
life,” Cole said. “From spending a week
end in an inner city to working with mi
grant workers in North Carolina, this is a
tremendous experience for a student.” So
far the journalism school has raised
that originated at UNC. Ten SCALE stu
dent volunteers at UNC received funding
from AmeriCorps in 1994-1995.
Because of the proposed defunding of
AmeriCoips for the next academic year,
SCALE may no longer receive federal fund
ing from AmeriCorps.
Ed Chaney, directorofSCALEatUNC,
said SCALE and AmeriCorps were com
mitted to keeping the program going. He
said the program would look very different
without federal funding. “We will analyze
what the program will look like without
government funding and then go into the
private sector,” Chaney said.
SCALE is one of 14 programs receiving
grants from AmeriCorps, and UNC is one
offourN.C. schools to have an AmeriCoips
program.The other schools in North Caro
lina are N.C. Wesleyan College,
Fayetteville State University and Johnson
C. Smith University.

as well in comparison to the state, ” he said.
Students attended Wednesday’s meet
ing to request funding for groups including
the Carolina Baptist Student Union, the

sional Students, Kallisti! and the Carolina

favor of increased funding to cover events

is the most incredible experience of our

to anybody on campus. It’s so rewarding
on every level. It’s not a class you can drop.
You can’t just get a ‘B. ’ We have no choice
but to see it through.”
Clark and Pike said that anyone with
questions about the program can leam
more about the scholarship by contacting
them through Matope International, 230

Other speakers at the memorial service
will be Claik’s colleagues from The Char

iner and The Philadelphia Inquirer, where
he worked since 1983. He began working
for the L.A. bureau of the Inquirer in 1993
and had spent the past year covering the
Simpson trial.
Cole said Gark was, “a smart guy, a
good student who enjoyed out of class
experiences more than in class experiences. ”
Despite many of his personal tragedies,
including the death ofhis father and brother,
Clark remained gregarious, witty and al
ways reaching out to others, he said. He
was well-liked by his colleagues at all ofhis
former newspapers, and he had a great
sense of humor, Cole said. Most of all, he
will be remembered as a free spirit, some
one who loved to explore and travel. After
the death ofhis brother in 1990, Gark took
a year leave from the Inquirer and traveled
the country in his Volkswagen bus.
The memorial service is an opportunity
for Gark’s friends, family and colleagues
to remember him, celebrate his life and
honor his many personal and journalistic
achievements, Cole said. Donations to the
Robin Clark Experience can be sent to the

AmeriCorps for this academic year.
Although AmeriCorps may lose fund

plans to solicit private funds to make up for
the loss. Wendy Grassi, spokeswoman for
the AmeriCorps National Office, said
AmeriCorps currently was supported by
federal tax money and was working to
increase the amount of money from the
private sector. “We have always been get
ting private funds and have partnerships
with private industries,” Grassi said.
Sheila Cooney, press secretary for Sen.
Lauch Faircloth, R-N.C., said Faircloth
had never supported the AmeriCorps pro
gram, and a number of AmeriCorps mem
bers had participated in political advocacy.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Jesse Helms,
R-N.C., said Helms supported the
defunding of AmeriCorps because it was
not cost-effective, and the costs per mem
ber were much more than AmeriCoips
officials have claimed.

Homecoming will not happen, ” Reid said.
“Ticket distribution will not happen.”

license’ for a better job.”
The responsibility of regaining the trust
of legislators and taxpayers belongs to the
schools, he said.
Hooker said he thought the key to im
proving the University was finding ways to
redistribute existing funds to address the
University’s needs, instead of requesting
more money from the legislature. Despite
this, Hooker still listed improving relations
with the legislature and the public as two of
his priorities. “Everything we do should be
done for the state," he said.
In addition, he said, improving working
conditions and morale for the housekeep
ers was a major concern. However, salary
increases for the housekeepers were part of
a greater problem.
“Salary increases (for all employees) are
historically not keeping pace with the cost
of living,” he said.
Hooker also answered audience ques
tions. One of the topics he placed special
emphasis on was the need for varied cur
riculum, especially in the humanities.
“If we are going to give students the
intellectual wherewithal to understand so
ciety and their place in it, a liberal arts
education is a necessity.”
