Critics: Dole doesn’t focus on higher education
BYIENNIFER WILSON
STAFF WRITER
While rising costs continue to make
higher education a hot political issue,
Republican presidential candidate Bob
Dole has been more concerned with pri
mary- and secondary-school issues than
higher education.
Over the summer, Dole campaigned
extensively in support of private school

Tailgaters beware: police
to cite for open containers
BY LAURA GODWIN
CITY EDITOR
When the Tar Heels take to the foot
ball field Saturday for their home opener,
local law enforcement agents will take to
the parking lots and streets to enforce
Chapel Hill’s open-container ordinance.
Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane
Cousins said despite recent questions
raised about the validity of the open
container ordinance, which makes it ille
gal for anyone to posses an open con
tainer of a malt beverage on town prop
erty, police will be busy enforcing the
ordinance. “We will enforce it the same
way we always have,” she said.
The police have been pleased by the
apparent drop in the number of open
container violations in recent weeks, she
said. While the first week of classes usu
ally keeps the police busy writing open
container citations, Cousins said there

received the police reports on the teens
and therefore could not comment on
their cases.
Woodall did comment on possible
sentences. A guilty verdict on Hawkins’
charge of aiding and abetting armed rob
bery could gamer him anywhere from 15
to 98 months in prison, he said.
“For the people charged with armed
robbery, the minimum is 38 months and
the maximum is 229 months,” Woodall
said.
All four could gain an additional 15 to
98 months if they are found guilty of
conspiracy to commit armed robbery, he
added.

Race Relations
Matthew Grice is bringing a well-known
breast cancer awareness race to Raleigh.

But not if you know Matthew.
Grice, a junior from Madison, has
been touched by breast cancer in a
very personal way. When he was in
eighth grade, his mother was diag
nosed with the disease and had to
undergo a mastectomy and chemo
therapy treatments.
His mother has since recovered
but the memory of the ordeal lives
on for Grice and his family. And it
has spurred Matthew to action.
Grice has been instrumental in

this was a “throwaway” idea designed to
attract voters.
“Conceptually, it’s not a bad idea,”
Nassirian said. “But it will not make a
difference for the vast majority of the
American public who don’t have the
means to afford higher education.”
Student Body President Aaron Nelson
said he hoped Dole would address more

“It appears to us that people know
about this ordinance,” she said. “It ap
pears to us that people understand.”
Cousins said in an effort to promote
awareness about the ordinance, the po
lice have distributed flyers to local bars
outlining the ordinance.
University Police are also busy getting
ready for the weekend crowds. Capt.
Steve Kilmon said University Police will
be aided in their patrol by reserve offic
ers, Carrboro police officers and officers
from the Orange County Sheriffs De
partment.
Although the Chapel Hill Police De
partment will not be part of Saturday’s
patrol, Kilmon said any of the officers
that are a part of the special events force
have jurisdiction to charge someone with
possession of an open container.
“We will be enforcing an open-con
tainer ordinance," he said.

Clinton in
Chicago:
4 I accept’
■ In a speech to the
convention, he highlighted
first term accomplishments.
The Associated Press
CHICAGO Thousands of cheer
ing Democrats thundered “Four more
years! Four more years!” as President
Bill Clinton offered himself as the engi
neer of change and optimism for the next
century.
“We are on the right track for the 21st
century,” he declared Thursday night.
Riding high in the polls, fresh from a
triumphant four-day train ride through
the vote-rich Midwest, Clinton boasted a
litany of accomplishments achieved, in
part, by changing “the old politics of
Washington.”
Clinton said his administration had
made college more affordable, streets
safer, water and lands less polluted, tax
rates lower for middle-class Americans,
jobs more plentiful and families more
ready to cope with the new millennium.
He said he would not insult or criticize
his rival, Bob Dole, yet he took a swipe at
the 73-year-old’s offer to be a bridge to
the past.
“With all due respect, we do not need
to build a bridge to the past,” Clinton
said. “We need to build a bridge to the
future.”
As he walked to the podium looming
high above the boisterous crowd, a sea of
blue and white “Clinton-Gore” pennants
waved in the convention hall. The open
ing ovations rose and fell for several min
utes, broken up only by chants of “Four
more years! ” Clinton snuggled to get the
delegates calmed down so he could speak.
Then he spoke the words they had
been waiting all week to hear. With a
grin, he said, “I don’t know if I can find
a fancy way to say this, but... I accept”
the Democraticpresidentialnomination.
With polls indicating Americans crave
civility in government, Clinton swore off
campaign attacks.
“This must be a campaign of ideas,”
he said, “Not of insults.”
Clinton said, “I will not attack. I will
not attack them personally orpermit oth
ers... to do it.”
