STAFF REPORT
UNC alumnus Justin Scheef won his
second graphics award fromtheN.C. Press
Association Thursday night for work he
completed at The Daily Tar Heel.
The DTH has won seven previous
NCPA awards since 1990. Scheef s award
is only the second first-place honor that the
DTH has received. Scheef is the DTH’s
only two-time winner.
Scheef, who graduated in December,
was awarded first place in the graphics
division for daily newspapers with a 15,000-
35,000 circulation. Last year, Scheef won
second place in the graphics division.

lina—the one on offense the first half and
the one on offense in the second half,”
Smith said.
Indeed, after shooting a measly 27 per
cent in the first stanza, the Tar Heels roared
back behind a stellar effort from the fresh
mantriumvirateofAntawn Jamison, Vince
Carter and Ademola Okulaja, who com
bined for a 29-point, 13-rebound perfor
mance in the second period.
“I think we’re looking like a different
Carolina team out there,” Carter said. “I
think we really looked poised, and every
body had a lot of energy, and we were
really into it, and it just helped us move on
for a great victory.”
But the zest behind the comeback began
in the backcourt. Tar Heel senior sharp
shooter Dante Calabria and junior point
guard J effMclnnis, who struggled with the
offensive rhythm in the first half, turned up
both the defensive heat and offensive fire
after halftime.
“In my opinion, Mclnnis and Calabria
are the two best guards in college basket
ball at controlling tempo on both ends of
the court —not only on the offensive end,
but on the defensive end as well,” said
Wake coach Dave Odom. “And I think
one of the things you have to do with them
is control their movement with and with
out the basketball. I thought we did a
marvelous job of that in the first half.”
But not in the second.

BOT Approves s3l Technology Fee
BY JAMIE GRISWOLD
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Following the recommendation of its Finance Committee, the
Board of Trustees voted Friday to approve a s3l Educational and
Technological Fee increase for the 1996-97 academic year. Stu
dent Body President Calvin Cunningham was the only trustee to
vote against the increase.
The proposal will now go before the Board of Governors for
final approval.
Although he voted for the fee increase, Chancellor Michael
Hooker said he did not think it was a solution to the University’s
technological problems. He said there was a “ 100 percent” guar
antee that another fee increase would be needed within the next
few years.
“This campus is far behind in adapting technologies," Hooker
said.
“I don’t think we’re solving the problem by each year coming
back to the board with an incremental student fee increase. We
have to have some totally different approach, and that’s what
we’re working on developing.”
Cunningham said he felt the timing of the increase was inap
propriate, coming on the back of the S4OO tuition increase ap
proved by the BOT on Sept. 22,1995.
If the BOG approves the Educational and Technological Fee
increase, both increases would go into effect this fall.
Chief of StaffElson Floyd said student fees at UNC were lower
than those at peer institutions, including Duke University, the
University of Virginia and the University of Michigan. UNC
ranks seventh highest in student fees among the 16 UNC-system
schools, Floyd said.
“Over time, we have made a tremendous investment in our
technology,” Floyd said. “We will continue to do that. We must
do that in order to be competitive.”
The proposed increase would raise the Educational and Tech
nological Fee from $lB3 to $214 per semester, a difference of 16.9
percent. Combined with the 90 cent student activity fee increase
approved by the student body on Nov. 15, 1995, the proposed
Educational and Technological Fee would increase undergradu
ate student fees from $647.92 to $679.82, a jump of 4.9 percent.
Hooker Promises to Wait on Development
■ But the University is
moving ahead with plans to
develop the Williams tract.
BY DAVID SIMONEAUX
STAFF WRITER
Chancellor Michael Hooker has agreed
not to build on the Horace Williams tract
until 90 days after the adoption of the land

In a written letter read to town council
members Thursday night, Hooker reaf
firmed former Chancellor Paul Hardin’s
promise not to submit developmental ap
plications forthe tract north ofEstes Drive.
HookeT did say he would allow building

Insanity
Defense
Debated
■ Community members
challenge the defense used by
Wendell Williamson.
BY LAURA GODWIN
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
One year after their teammate was mur
dered by a former UNC law student, mem
bers of the One Four Kevin Foundation
sponsored a forum Friday night to honor
his memory and raise awareness among
the community about the not-guilty-by
reason-of-insanity defense.
Karl Reichardt, Kevin Reichardt’s fa
ther, began the service with a memorial for
his son. Kevin Reichardt was shot to death
on Jan. 26,1995 by Wendell Williamson
while riding his bike on Henderson Street.
Williamson killed Ralph Walker Jr., a
Chapel Hill restaurant manager, seconds
before killing Reichardt.
Karl Reichardt said his son’s murder
was not just a case of a person being in the
wrong place at the wrong time. “Kevin
was exactly at the right place at the time,”
Reichardt said. “Wendell Williamson was
in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Williamson, who is currently hospital
ized at Dorothea Dix Hospital, was found
not guilty by reason of insanity on Nov. 7.
Because he was found not guilty,
Williamson is eligible for periodic psychi
atric evaluations. If Williamson is deter-

There would be no increase in athletic or health service fees for
the 1996-97 academic year.
In other action, the BOT unanimously approved the Dußose
mansion at Meadowmont as the site for the Kenan-Flagler Busi
ness School’s Paul J. Rizzo Center for Executive Education.
The mansion, located off N.C. 54, was bequeathed to UNC in

“We had asked for the letter earlier, and he

Council member Joe Capowtlri said he
was not expecting the letter to be read at the
meeting with Hooker. “I was surprised the
press was not there, but this was not ato wn

Capowski said.
Waldorf said she was pleased to hear
that Hooker would wait before contacting
developers. “I am glad to get his affirma

on the Horace Williams tract for a really
long time,” she said.
Wayne Jones, vice chancellor for busi
ness and finance, reaffirmed Hooker’s
agreement to wait. He said the adoption of
the land-use plan was slow in coming.
“We’re behind our initial schedule,”
Jones said. “We hoped to finalize it at
about this time, but we are several months
away. Probably the earliest we will meet
Reichardt said. “We need to stop him and

Orange-Chatham District Attorney Cari

man who prosecuted Williamson, told the
audience it was important to ask the state
legislature for a guilty-but-mentally-ill de
fense in the wake of the Williamson trial.
“It is a tragedy that two people died, ” he
said. “But it will be even more of a tragedy
if we don’t seize this moment and ask the
state legislature for a guilty-but-mentally
ill defense.”

Chancellor
Defends
Kenan Chairs
BY JAMIE GRISWOLD
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
After coming under fire for looking
beyond the University for outstanding
teachers, Chancellor Michael Hooker
defended his plan to establish four new
Kenan professorships as a benefit to
students.
“If we look at all of the expressions
of intent as far as the Kenan trust, it is
clear that it was intended that our stu
dents be the beneficiaries of the Kenan
faculty appointments,” Hooker sa&at
a Board of Trustees meeting Friday.
A search committee is being formed
to seek and recruit mid-career profes
sors for the new positions. The educa
tors would receive between $125,000
and $140,000 to come to UNC.
Current University faculty are ineli
gible for the professorships.
In response to media criticism and
faculty questions concerning high sala
ries for the new Kenan professors,
Hooker said the salary range was a
direct result of market demands. He

While the letter postponed the date of
building on the Horace Williams tract,
town council member Julie Andresen said
she was not impressed with the content of
the letter and wished she had a copy. “Idid
not hear the part where the town will do
‘X’,” Andresen said. “I didn’t hear where
the town agrees to do anything.”
Andresen said the council had voted
narrowly in the past not to include interim
zoning for the Horace Wiliams tract, which
would limit how much the University could
build without going through the town’s
approval process. “Now it’s a year later
and there is still no planning zone,” she
said.
Council member Pat Evans said she is
glad to have University support. “It’s a
two-way street. That is what cooperation
is,” she said.

examined Williamson when he was
brought to the emergency room hours after
the shootings. Hallock also testified in
Williamson’s defense. Hallock cautioned
those in attendance about the dangers of
eliminating the not-guilty-by-reason-of-in
sanity defense.
“I don’t think we set things better when
we run off and try to change laws, ” he said.
Hallock said defendants who are found not
guilty by reason of insanity are incarcer-
