6 Monday, February 5,1996 WHITEWATER FROM PAGE 1 The records also indicate that at least 14 discussions and meetings took place with Hillary Clinton’s involvement —dis- cussing other Madison real estate deals. Madison is currently under civil and crimi nal investigation. Scrutiny also surrounds Hillary Clinton’s actions and the actions of her staff regarding the aftermath of Vincent Foster’s death. Foster, a boyhood friend of Bill Clinton and a partner of Hillary Clinton’s at the Rose Law Firm, was found in a Virginia park with a gunshot wound to his head on July 20,1993. Police investiga tors ruled his deathasuicide. Fosterworked on the Clintons’ personal tax and financial matters. Colleagues testified that Foster was upset over the firing of seven White House Travel Office employees and the resulting critical Wall Street Journal edito rials. Records released last summer attribute Foster’s depression to concern about a possible IRS audit of the Clintons’ Whitewater affairs. Speculation still sur rounds how much the Clintons lost in GRAHAM FROM PAGE 3 After digging at North Carolina’s Pub lic Television archives, Wilson discovered a series of interviews with Graham taped in 1962,10 years before Graham’s death. “They were fascinating,” Wilson said. “It was then that I realized that a fascinat ing documentary could and should be made about this incredibly compelling man.” Wilson received a grant from the UNC Arts and Sciences Foundation to make the film. The foundation also served as the nonprofit agency through which individu als could contribute money to the film.

He was a friend and a partner of the McDougals, but directly linking Clinton to illegal or unethical activity is difficult. Los ing money ($68,000, according to the Clintons) isn’t illegal and neither is associ ating with dubious people. Investigators believe that James McDougal used Madison Guaranty to di vert money to Whitewater and to Arkan sas politicians, including Clinton. While the investigation into Clinton’s involve ment has been inconclusive, it has raised many questions. Clinton’s response has been consistent. “An allegation comes up, and we answer it, and then people say, ‘Well, here’s another allegation, answer this. ’ And then, ‘Here’s another allegation, answer this,’” Clinton said in a recent news conference. Several investigations continue to probe the intricacies of the Whitewater affair. The investigation, ledby Kenneth Starr, an independent counsel named by a three judge panel in August 1994, is the one to watch. Starr has been given a wide-rang ing federal mandate in his investigation into the possible removal of documents production work from UNC-TV. In addi tion, Wilson said he and Clark contributed their own time, money and sweat to the project. The film originally aired to a select au dience on University Day, 1994. UNC-TV also broadcast the film at least three times and will probably air it again, said UNC TV Publicist Katherine Hilton. Copies of the film are available from the North Carolina Public Television Founda tion at 1-800-639-3939. The two Emmy winners said they will continue to make documentaries about North Carolina. Wilson said his next project —a film about N.C. Sen. Jesse Helms is already in the works STATE & NATIONAL from Foster’s White House office. He is also looking into how the Clintons treated Whitewater investments on their tax re turns and whether they improperly ben efited financially. Stair’s investigation has yielded at least a dozen criminal charges against individu als. He also has the cooperation of former Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, a friend of die Clintons. Hubbell pleaded guilty to fraud and income tax evasion charges in a case unrelated to Whitewater. ChargesagainstHubbell could be reduced in exchange for his assistance in the investigation. Stare has said that key elements of his investigation should be public before the November election. In a separate investigation, U.S. Sen. Alfonse D’ Amato, R-N.Y., chairman of a special Senate committee investigating the Whitewater affair, believes that Foster re mains the key to unlocking the door that hides the smoking gun. D’Amato is the pointman in the highly partisan onslaught against the Clintons for their role in Whitewater. D’Amato has yet to find a smoking gun, but has managed to embarrass the Clintons with numerous accusations of impropri- KENAN FROM PAGE 1 not teach any classes, ■ 54 percent of Kenan professors in the Academic Affairs division taught under graduates, ■ Kenan professors taught an average 0f2.2 classes during the year, or an average of 1.4 undergraduate and 1.8 graduate classes per year. The DTH analysis did not consider the 11 Kenan professors in the Division of Health Affairs because many oftheir classes are not taught in a traditional setting, mak ing it difficult to assess teaching loads with available data. None of the faculty contacted for this story expressed surprise that current Kenan professors were already in the classroom, but some professors called Hooker’s deci sion a public relations maneuver that would fall flat in practice. Physics and astronomy professor Will iam Thompson said it was unrealistic to think that the new “superstar” Kenan pro fessors would be willing to teach large undergraduate classes. “It’s just not fun to do that,” he said SBP FROM PAGE 1 vie for office, ran in 1992. She said she had a hard time justifying creating support groups for women. “(Support groups) make women look like it’s okay for men to feel the way they do about them,” she said. “We want all to understand that women are just as good as men.” The fact that women were not oriented toward politics may have been a reason why more women weren’t running for SBP, said Wallace, student body president in 1985.

Caßipaigi '96: The NUttwitef Factor What effect will Whitewater have on the 1996 presidential campaign? Will Clinton survive the scrutiny of the investi gators’ prying eyes? It’s far to early to know, said John Aldrich, chairman of the political science department at Duke University. Aldrich compared Clinton’scureentpublicapproval situation with that of George Bush after the 1991 Gulf War. “Bush’s approval rating was running at record highs in 1991,” he said. “NoneoftheDemocratswantedtobe the sacrificial lamb to a Bush landslide. Clinton’s (1992) victory proves that any thing can happen.” Presidential politics is a fickle game, Aldrich said. The constant Republican at tacks on the Clintons could disillusion the voting public, creating a backlash. “The Republicans should be carefulnotto overdo the attacks, especially if they continue to prove fruitless,” he said. “The issue be comes old news very quickly if nothing new is found.” Using the First Lady as a stepping stone in the road to dethroning the president Richardson said the University would not require a particular teaching load in the contract of new Kenan professors. “Of course we would have an understanding that a condition of their Kenans would be that they teach undergraduates," he said. Other professors expressed anger about Hooker’s decision to exclude current fac ulty from the running for the new chairs. “There’s nothing wrong with recruiting teachers from the outside,” said Madeline Levine, Kenan professor and chairwoman of the Slavic Languages Department. “What offends me is the exclusion of fac ulty from the inside, which suggests in order to get really good teachers you have to look elsewhere. “Faculty take a lot of pride in under graduate teaching. It’s frustrating to not communicate that to external audiences.” Levine also questioned the salaries be ing discussed for the new professors. But Hooker said some faculty misun derstood his plan. “People think we will be recruiting people who would make $60,000 and (we will) pay them $120,000,” he said. “The people who we will be recruiting will already be making salaries in the high range.” in the spotlight, and that may affect what roles they take on, she said. “It seems like a lot of women have a certain issue, and they take that on, ” she said. “They want to do something much more specific and see quick results out of what they do, whereas die office of student body president is much more amoiphous.” Out of 152 candidates for the office of SBP since 1972, only 21 have been minor ity males and one a minority female. Mark Lee, president of Alpha Phi Al pha Fraternity Inc. and the National Pan Hellenic Council, said he had noticed a strong minority presence on campus. People of aft races and genders were in- could also grow tiresome with Americans, Aldrich said. “Even with Hillary’s low approval rating, the public will eventually want the Republicans to take Clinton head on,”hesaid. “Attackingsomeone’s spouse becomes tiresome.” Politically, there’s no way Clinton can distance himself from his wife, said David Paletz, apresidential cam paign expert at Duke. He must remain a supportive husband; anything else wouldbe “ungallant,” Paletz said. “The repercussions of any attempted political separation would be tenible,” he said. “Presidentsdon’tdeseittheirwives.” Paletz predicted that Hillaty Clinton’s future role would be more traditional. The White House will try to keep the First Lady’s profile low- key, he said. “They’ve been dogged for so long that Whitewater, as it stands, won’t affect the November elections.”Buthewasquicktoadd, “Any thing can happen between now and No vember.” The immediate forecast promises fur ther drizzle for the Clintons. If the investi gators find the elusive smoking gun, thun dershowers are guaranteed. How the Clintons weather the storm will determine the outcome of the presidential election. Kenans in Class Kenan professors in the Division of Academic Affairs who taught undergraduate classes during fall 1995 or spring 1998: \ Jp2.5% didn't teach Concluded Richardson, “I want the four Kenans that we hire to put an even greater emphasis on undergraduate instruction.” volved in the elections process, such as holding senior class offices or student con gress seats, Lee said. “The office of student body president is not the be-all end-all of minority involvement on campus.” George Battle, the fourth black SBP in 1994, said the campus was no more or no less a microcosm of society at large. “Just as minorities or women have made gains in society at large, so they have made gains on campus. Just as they have been held back in society at latge, so they have been held back on campus,” he said. The increase in recent years in the amount of women and minorities who have served in other offices is encouraging, he said. Battle said many people placed empha sis on the fact that he was black. “If you are Native American or African American, people see your experience as being some thing profoundly different because of your race,” he said. “Race really doesn’t play a role in terms of how you make your deci sions. The individual who holds the office brings in their own experience.” Mohan Nathan, student body co-secre tary, said a lot of people don’t feel student government is for them. “I encourage that it is for everyone, no matter what race or gender, if you want to get involved in that way. The only mean ingful experience you can get is within the student legislature, and when people go to vote, they seem to look at who is most qualified. Getting that experience early for women or minorities is important if you are particularly looking to be student body president.” Filling THIS Hat Requires That m We Wear Many Others: SIPS Toda y s business market requires that you go beyond— ’’’ we " beyond.

Pipkin, 22, a 1995 Duke University graduate now studying in Spain, saw an ad for MTV’s “Take The Year Off” contest last month in her Raleigh home. The grand prize package included SIOO,OOO, a $ 1 0,000 health insurance policy, a big-screen TV, a VCR, a stereo, assorted CDs and video games, exercise equipment and a laptop computer, printer and fax machine. Pipkin, who was planning to wait until fall 1996 to enter medical school, sent in a postcard. She then flew overseas to study Spanish and travel. During a call to her parents two weeks ago, Pipkin learned she won—beating out more than 200,000 other entries. “I couldn’t believe it,” Pipkin told The Herald-Sun ofDurham from her Barcelona apartment. “ItstiUdoesn’tseemrealtome. It’s pretty strange and a little unbeliev able.” Pipkin, a double major in biology and art history while at Duke, opted for the $129,000 cash award. Taxes will take nearly half the prize. Pipkin plans to divide the rest between White Memorial Presbyte rian Church in Raleigh and the cost of her medical education. Palestinian Teenager Wounded by Gunfire NABLUS, West Bank An Israeli man shot at Palestinian students near a West Bank school on Sunday, wounding a 16-year-old Palestinian, witnesses said. Three students said they were walking to school Sunday morning on the main road in the village ofSawiyeh, nearNablus, when they heard gunfire and saw 16-year old Yasser Snobar fall to the ground, blood streaming from his back. “We got him into a car and took him to hospital, ” said one student, who would not give his name. After the shooting, the students said they saw a man pulling away in a car with yellow Israeli license plates. A worker at Rafidiyeh Hospital in Nablus, who also would not give his name, said Snobar was in fair condition. Prince, Princess Hammer Out Final Divorce Details LONDON —Prince Charles has agreed #MI financial plan IQ support Princess Diana after a divorce, including $1.5 mil lion a year for expenses and $9 million for a London house, a tabloid reported Sun day. The heir to the British throne and his wife, who separated in 1992, have not said they are divorcing. But after weeks of legal negotiations, the couple reached a finan cial settlement for a divorce, according to an unattributed report in The Mail on Sunday. Independent confirmation of the report was impossible. But in the past, tabloids have been accurate in many of their reports on the couple’s marital problems. The settlement includes $22.5 million in investments to yield the annual income needed to maintain the princess in her present style, the newspaper said. Lawyers estimate Diana needs at least $1.5 million a year, after taxes, to cover expenses including her clothes, her staff and their subsistence, the report said.
