sf|f Satlg (Ear Heel IN THE NEWS Top stories from the state, nation and world Peres Says Only U.S. Can Work Out Cease-Fire JERUSALEM lsraeli Prime Minis ter Shimon Peres criticized on Sunday the mushrooming number of would-be Middle East peacemakers and said only the United States was capable of working out a cease fire in southern Lebanon. “It cannot be done from many chan nels,” Peres said as American, Russian and European diplomats criss-crossed the region pursuing their own proposals to end the fighting between Israel and Shiite Hezbollah extremists. Clearly preferring American mediation over the others, Peres said, “If there will be more than one channel there will be total confusion.” The Israeli leader, the target of rising world criticism for the Israeli bombard ment of southern Lebanon —but sup ported unwaveringly by the Clinton ad ministration met twice with Secretary of State Warren Christopher. Christopher then flew to Damascus for anothermeetingMonday with Syrian Pres ident Hafez Assad. Five photographs of the Syrian leader’s previous sessions with Christopher and with the foreign ministers of France, Italy, Russia and Iran appeared on the front pages of all the government controlled Arabic language newspapers. AU.S. official grumbled: “Assad’smeet- CLIMATE FROM PAGE 3 each other and each other’s experiences.” Although many students thought an intellectual climate existed at the Univer sity, they targeted the General College as a big problem. Wesley Lindsey, a sophomore biology major, said the intellectual climate at UNC was as good as it was at other universities. However, Lindsey said there were too many unnecessary requirements in Gen eral College for the sake of political cor- LANDFILL FROM PAGE 3 formal vote on the site should be taken, these two public hearing requirements must be fulfilled.” Orange County Commissioner Don Willhoit said the public hearing require ments were not anew development in the landfill selection process. “This is not a surprise to us, although it may be to the public,’“he said. Residents asked questions about alter native waste treatments such as refuse dry fuel and plasma technology. Kim Alanis, a representative of Vendco in Fayetteville, said that Orange County could transport its waste to the Brunswick County facility. There, recyclable items would be re moved and the remaining waste would be transformed into refuse dry fuel. The refuse dry fuel would be used for an energy gen erator that makes processed steam for Dupont. Chapel Hill Town Council and LOG member Mark Chilton said he feared the technology would abuse Fayetteville resi dents. “I have a grave concern that Site 17 people feel they’re being dumped upon,” he said. “But I believe more people in Fayetteville are being dumped upon by that Vendco facility,” Chilton said. Eve Olive of the Emerson Waldorf School, which is located near the present landfill site, said she was concerned about the long-term effects of the potential site. “No health studies have been done to study the effects of the landfill on the health and well-being of those living and working near it,” she said.

Mud Slides Kill at Least 26 Brazilians After Rains RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil Torren tial rains brought a mud slide down on a shantytown in northeastern Brazil on Sun day, killing at least 26 people. Another 15 people were injured in the mud slide, which covered a slum at the foot of a hill on the outskirts of Salvador, a coastal city 1,000 miles northeast of Rio, said Maria Emilia Freire, a spokeswoman for the Salvador civil defense. The rain started coming down on Satur day afternoon, gained strength in the evening and turned into a downpour, which stopped Sunday morning. With forecasts calling for more heavy rain, the city’s civil defense workers worked to evacuate residents from hillsides and other high-risk areas. Campus Drug Arrests Rise In 1994 for Third Year WASHINGTON, D.C. —Forthethird straight year, drug arrests rose in 1994 on American college campuses, according to anew survey. Results being released Sunday by The Chronicle of Higher Education revealed 6,138 drug violations 23 percent more than in 1993. This follows increases of 34 percent in 1993 and 46 percent in 1992. Alcohol contributed to even more ar rests. There were 15,923 liquor-related of fenses in 1994, up 5.6 percent from 1993. Drug arrests are up partly because more private colleges are gaining arresting au thority for their campus law enforcement officers, says Douglas F. Tuttle, public redness. “General college is a colossal waste of time. I think a General College recom mended curriculum is fine, but a required curriculum defeats the purpose of getting an education," Lindsey said. Catherine Weston, a junior from Win ston-Salem, said she thought General Col lege requirements should only take one year because many students did not take the classes seriously. “General College is ridiculous,” Weston said. “After General College I only have two Duke's Test Prep Program Affordable and Convenient Last change to register for Spring Classes!

Also, increased awareness about drug and alcohol abuse had led to more tips to campus police departments, he said. “In our case, we’re doing more training with the residence hall staffs so they know what to lookfor—knowwhat the smell (of marijuana) really is,” Tuttle said. “I think they realize to a greater extent that drugs and alcohol bring with them other prob lems. Anytime you have a major amount of drugs, you have the potential for lots of money and a robbery.” Gay Methodists Want Acceptance From Church DENVER —As delegates to the United Methodist General Conference enter the convention center, gay Christians hold doors open for them symbolic acts for the policy they want the church to adopt toward homosexuality. When delegates return to their hotel rooms at night, some are greeted with a welcomematwiththeadded words: “Don’t you wish everyone was?" When they get up in the morning, the 1,000 or so delegates to the policy-making body of the nation’s second-largest Protes tant church are invited to hear a more traditional perspective at a free breakfast offered by the conservative Good News movement. Homosexuality once again is at the forefront of the agenda for the 8.5 million-member church’s quadrennial meeting, just as the issue will dominate the July meeting of the Presbyterian Church (U.S. A.) in Albuquerque—and just as it’s dominated nearly every national gathering in the last generation of the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Gen eral College was a bunch of classes I didn’t want to take.” Amy Norman, a sophomore from Elkin, said she thought an individual could create his or her own intellectual climate. “I think the opening of the Undergradu ate Library for 24 hours a day was one step towards a more intellectual climate,” Norman said. “There is a large emphasis on your so cial life here but my intellectual climate doesn’t have to be affected by the social climate if I don’t let it."
