By Matt Dees
Assistant State & National Editor
N.C. State University released
Monday night the sanctions imposed on
two foptball players charged in connec
tion with the shooting death of Neil
Vemop Davis Jr. on Nov. 22.
Both students, freshmen Harold
Jackson and David Stringer, were con
victed of committing Infliction or Threat
of Bodily Harm by a student-faculty
hearing board.
Jackson was suspended for four
semesters, sentenced to 50 hours of
community service and was ordered to
seek counseling. Stringer was suspended
for five semesters, sentenced to 60 hours
of community service and must also
seek counseling. Both students will
remain on Disciplinary Probation for
the remainder of their academic careers.
Tho two students and several others
involved will face criminal charges rang
ing as high as involuntary manslaughter.

When CUB puts the books back on

will drop the sale price and pay a little
less for it” Hess said.
Unlike Student Stores, which
Mahalek said was in a “noncompetitive
position,” Hess said he kept abreast of

“(Student Stores’) mission is to have
every book for every course,” he said.
“Ours is to save students time and

Basic Physical Defense for Women
Demonstration & Info Session
Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 7pm

SPONSORED BY: UNC DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY C.O.P. AND CRIME PREVENTION
information from the hearings, which
were held Saturday, might have been
prompted by the distaste expressed by
the victim’s parents. Neil and Dorothy
Davis publicly protested Sunday the
university’s failure to include them or
even notify them of the proceedings.
Thomas Stafford, student affairs vice
chancellor at N.C. State, said attendance
at the meeting had to be restricted
because of federal privacy laws.
“The law is called the Buckley
Amendment and it provides for the con
fidentiality of all student records,”
Stafford said. “This is pretty standard
practice for a university to include judi
cial information into the parameters of
these records.”
Gerald Beaver, the Davises’ attorney,
said they had intentionally steered clear
of the ongoing investigation into the
incident, but that they felt it was unfair
to exclude them from the hearing.
Beaver said key witnesses for the
prosecution testified, allowing the
defense to be privy to information that
sel’s office - was received by Senate
Secretary Gary Sisco at 11:48 a.m. - 12
minutes before the deadline.
Inside was a two-pronged rebuttal to
the charges. First, that the allegations of
perjury and obstruction of justice “do
not constitute high crimes or misde
meanors,” and thus are insufficient to
As well as citing the skills gained in
her work as a public defender, Broun
said her position as chairman of the
Orange Water and Sewer Authority
Board of Directors had allowed her to
closely observe Carrboro’s growth.
She said she chose to apply after the
recent birth of her child.
“I wanted to ensure that Carrboro
would be a place for my child to grow
up and get married and make me a
grandmother,” she said.
Bynum, an Orange County
Emergency Medical Services Advisory
Counsel member, said she had proudly
watched Carrboro grow in her 35 years
as a resident. “When I first came here
people used to laugh at Carrboro com
pared to Chapel Hill, ” she said.
Bynum said that Carrboro should try
At Ram Book and Supply across the
street from CUB, manager Troy Gerkev
said the store would buy books from stu
dents at wholesale prices most of the
year. During final exams, the store will
also offer about half of either the new or
used book price, depending on whether
the book was purchased new or used.
“As long as the books are in their cur
rent edition, we will buy them,” Gerkey
said. “I think there is a perception that
we pay more for textbooks, but we buy
a lot more books that aren’t on the data
base at Student Stores or the store across
the street.”
Ram Book and Supply uses a data
base linked to four major book whole
salers, providing the store with an accu
rate and comprehensive description of
books currently in use across the coun
try, Gerkey said.
The industry standard is to sell used
books back to students at 75 percent of
the shelf price, Gerkey said, though he
did not follow any particular formula
when pricing books.

said that this information might never
find its way into the prosecution’s case.
“The family doesn’t have the right to
subpoena the information from the
hearing; the district attorney does,” he
said. “And we don’t know what their
position is yet.”
Beaver said he and his clients would
consult the district attorney handling the
case about their legal rights. Beaver
added that they would investigate the
federal statute N.C. State cited as
grounds for excluding the Davises from
its proceedings.
Stafford said, on a personal level, that
he thought the Davises’ should be
allowed into the hearing but that the fed
eral law would not allow them to attend.
“To me it does seem unfair and I
don’t mind saying that,” Stafford said.
“But under current law we can’t respond
the way the Davises would like.”

Students Join Impeachment Debate
Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societiy members and
students voted 5-9-2 to
keep Clinton in office.
By Carrie Callaghan
Staff Writer
Resolved: The Senate should remove
the President from office.
The Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies, the oldest student organiza
tions on campus, voted to defeat this
proposal after a debate Monday night.
The societies have been meeting
together for over 200 years to debate
controversial issues.
An unofficial vote on the resolution
was also taken, with all people in the
room voting, even those not in the soci
eties. The resolution then passed, with a
vote of 12-11-5.
The main arguments made by stu
dents supporting this decision included
the triviality of the articles of impeach
ment passed against President Clinton,
perjury and obstruction of justice and
their irrelevance to the lives of United
States citizens.
Brad Timmers, a junior from
Clinton alsb denied committing peijury
in answers to grand jury questions about
earlier testimony in the Paula Jones sex
ual harassment lawsuit, in statements he
permitted his attorney to make in the
case and in his answers to questions
about alleged efforts to influence others’
testimony.
government.
He said one of his focuses would be
drawing businesses and events that
would protect and strengthen the char
acter of Carrboro’s downtown.
“We need to encourage people to
come downtown and hang out.”

Columbia, S.C., argued against the res
olution. “Have (the President’s indiscre
tions) affected your day-to-day life?” he
asked. “It’s just not a good enough rea
son to remove him from office.”
Alex Blate, a senior from
Montgomery Village, M.D., also
opposed the resolution.
“What Clinton did is something I
think a lot of Americans would have
done,” he said. “He cheated on his wife,
and having done so, lied about it.”
Students against the resolution admit
ted that Clinton lied under oath, but
maintained that the circumstances sur
rounding it did not merit removal from
office. “In all circumstances it’s regret
table that a witness should tell a falsity,”
Timmers said. “But the disadvantages of
removing (Clinton) from office out
weigh the dilemma of a falsity.”
In response, Drew Haywood, a
junior from Asheboro, asked Timmers,

Orwellian phrase, that some pigs are
more equal than others?”

not as strong as he needed to be as as a

the level of commitment needed for a
student body treasurer.”
Still, Patel said the agreement for
Dasher to step down had little to do
with incompetence on Dasher’s part.
“It’s just that Reyna is not willing to
compromise the office of the student

Some of the members of the societies
agreed with Haywood’s argument.
Senior Sabrina Presnell, president of
the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies
joint senate said, “Nothing makes me
madder, as Student Attorney General,
than when somebody lies to me.”
Presnell said she would not advise
members of the societies as to which
way to vote, but she felt Clinton’s
actions would set a poor example for the
nation.
“The justice department in this coun
try is based on people telling the truth,”
she said. “(Clinton) lied under oath and
he made the decision to take one of the
most sacred American ideals and disre
spect it.”
Deandra Scott, president of the
Philanthropic Society, said the entire
affair was distracting for the nation.
“I’m sure nobody looks at cigars the
same way anymore.”
