Clinton Delays Japan
Summit for Peace Deal
President Clinton puts off
the G-8 summit in Japan to
try and settle the deadlock
in the Mideast negotiations.
Associated Press
THURMONT, Md. - Sending the
Camp David summit into overtime,
President Clinton delayed his departure
forjapan by a day to give Mideast nego
tiators a last chance to break their dead
lock.
He said through a spokesman
Wednesday that the parties “know what
they have to do."
While Clinton met with Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat, Israel said “it
seems" that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Barak had decided to stop the talks and
return home.
The White House said it had not
been informed about anyone planning
to leave.
“There is a lot of stuff that flies
around the air that's not worth a 10t...
but just has no reflection of what's going
on,” presidential spokesman Joe
Lockhart said at the midpoint of the
talks' ninth day.
Explaining Clinton’s decision to
delay his trip, Lockhart said, “It s a judg
ment that the president made that it was
useful and in the interests of the peace
process to do that, but it's not an open
ended commitment."
He said the president planned to get
on Air Force One sometime overnight
and fly to Asia.
“The parties know what they have to
do,” the spokesman said.
Clinton met with Barak around 10
p.m. Tuesday and then talked with
Arafat. The president finished work
about 1 a.m. and returned to work
Wednesday eight hours later, meeting
first with members of the U.S. negotiat
ing team and then again with Arafat.
Asked if it had been w orthwhile for
Clinton to remain at the talks, Lockhart
said, “I think that the fact that he's sitting
in at a bilateral (meeting) with

Chairman Arafat as we speak indicates
that we think it's worth it."
The Israeli statement, issued by tele
phone by the prime minister's office in
response to a reporter’s question and
attributed to senior sources, did not
specify when the Israeli team planned to
leave.
“It seems that Barak has decided to
stop the talks and return to Israel," it
said, adding that the Palestinians were
unprepared to take the steps necessary
to bring about an accord.
Later, Israel's deputy defense minis
ter, Ephraim Sneh, told reporters the
picture at Camp David was “quite
gloomy.” He added that “as long as he
(Barak), the host and the other party is
there, there is maybe a glimmer of
hope.”
The White House had announced
after midnight that Clinton was putting
off his departure for a summit of indus
trial powers “in the best interests of the
Middle East peace process.”
He had been scheduled to depart
Wednesday morning.
“Clearly, the president is doing this
so he can continue to work with the
leaders through Wednesday,” White
House spokesman PJ. Crowley said
then.
Even before the flap erupted over
whether anyone was leaving, indications
were that the going was extremely diffi
cult at Camp David.
Ofir Pines, an Israeli lawmaker and
chairman of Barak's governing coalition,
said he did not believe the two sides
could reach an accord.
“The Palestinian Authority is not pre
pared, simply is not prepared to reach
an understanding to reach a peace
agreement with Israel,” he said on Israel
radio Wednesday.
The Palestinians blamed Israel for the
impasse.
“There can be no agreement without
total Palestinian sovereignty over east
Jerusalem,” said Hassan Abdel
Rahman, the Washington envoy of
Arafat's Palestine Liberation
Organization. “This is a basic condition
for achieving peace.”
Construction to Continue into Fall

Not only have renovations to the
Frank Graham Porter Student Union
become a daily reminder of the
University’s evolving campus, but
incoming freshmen and students return
ing in the fall will find many facilities
being built or renovated to help bring
UNC into the 21st century.
Runners and other athletes will soon
have anew indoor track and field facil
ity to call home. Officials said the new
building, which is under construction
near Fetzer Field, will be completed in
November. Students have had to go
without an indoor facility since the
beloved “Tin Can" that formerly housed
the University’s old indoor track was
tom down last fall.

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH - A 16-
year-old surfer from Wilmington was
attacked by what was believed to be a
shark, marking the second such incident
in just a week in North Carolina waters.
Patrick G. Bruff was bitten Monday in
the right foot while surfing near the
Oceanic Pier. He was sitting on his
board and dangling his feet in the water
when he was bitten.
“You could see that he was bit pretty
bad,” said Justin Hovey, of Columbia,

struction management, said that the new
building will be used not only as an
indoor area for track and field, but also
as a practice field for football.
Willis said that construction of the
building had just begun. Funding for
the it’s construction came from the
Department of Athletics.
Although the building is designed for
use by the members of the track and
field and football teams, student use will
be permitted.
Dennis Craddock, the coach for men
and women’s track and cross country,
said team scheduling and student use of
the track has yet to be decided upon.

certain hours because everybody will
want to be in there as far as athletic
teams, but that hasn’t been fully deter
mined yet,” he said.

Tuesday evening.
“It’s not beyond the realm of possi
bility that it was a shark," said Andy

By 1930, the love affair between the

Only two steps remain in the field’s
completion: the rubberization of the
field’s surrounding sidewalk and the
installation of rubberized pellets into its
synthetic fibers, which will give the field
a softer feel and natural look.
The field renovation, which began in
early April, forced the cancellation of
softball in the spring, but no other sports
during the year were affected. Summer
intramural sports were also cancelled.

Along with the construction of the
new facility, other buildings on campus

New East and the South Building are
under construction with completion
dates set in the near future.
Willis said the work being done on
campus by the Department of Facilities
Service is mainly for safety features.
Renovations to South Building
include the installation of several fire
safety systems. Officials cay they hope to

It was the third reported shark bite
along North Carolina shores this sum
mer, the second in the area in less than
a week.
Tim Poynter, 14, a surfer from Florida
was attacked by a shark Sunday at
Holden Beach, leaving him with gashes
in his foot, a puncture wound in his heel
and cuts on his toes.

On September 15, 1938 Wolfe died
due to complications from pneumonia
and tuberculosis following a trip he had
made out West.
Despite his short life, Wolfe’s literary
achievements loom large. From the pub
lication of his first novel in 1929 to his
death in 1938, he produced a second
novel, Of Time and The River, a collection
of short stories, From Death to Morning,
and an autobiographical essay on writ

“I wish we could have played softball
last spring, but it will be better in the
long run with the fields open all the
time," he said.
Pomerantz said that the original plan
was to install the surface during the sum

change in the construction’s timing.
In the future, the fields currently
closed due to construction at the
Institute of Government might be reno
vated with the new surface.

Road construction along Stadium

There have been only 15 recorded
