Philip DiStefano, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Colorado, said he had observed Spear’s talent for balancing the concerns of arts and sciences. “Peter has about 40 chairs and direc tors reporting to him, and he gets along very well with everyone, even the humanists and social scientists,” he said.

Candice Garretson, assistant dean of the School of Humanities at University of Califomia-lrvine, said her colleague Lawrence was well-rounded in adminis trative matters despite her liberal arts focus. “She has a very strong, clear vision for everything, and she works very well with all the faculty in terms of develop ing initiatives," Garretson said. Above all else, candidates and search committee members alike stressed a desire to match the personality of the University to its next administrator. Each candidate will visit UNC in the coming weeks to participate in a series of meetings and tours, which Matthews said will allow the committee to get to know them before making a find rec ommendation. The candidates welcomed the chance to get to know the UNC community. “As an experimental scientist, I do better if I interact with people, walk Wm/tf Dr. Peter D.

Rodriguez said Crossroads will fea ture a Ferris wheel, free food and a screening of the movie “The Matrix.” N.C.

The prospective provosts will also individually participate in a public forum that all students, faculty and staff can attend. All the candidates expressed excite ment about this stage in the search, espe cially those who said they are not famil iar with the campus. But even Roper, the only candidate with Tar Heel ties, said he was eager to begin this in-depth procedure. “I am honored to be considered for the position and look forward to the rest of the process,” Roper said. Matthews said that whatever the result of these meetings, he is excited to make his final recommendation to the chancellor and see the outcome of the search. He said, “I’ve been very impressed - I think, regardless of the final decision, you can’t go wrong with any of the five we have left.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Lee, 60, had twice before been denied bail. U.S. District Judge James Parker relented after a hearing in which Lee’s lawyers cast doubt on the solidity of the government’s case and just how sensitive the nuclear material involved was. “I conclude that there now is a com bination of conditions that will reason ably assure the appearance of Dr. Lee as required and the safety of the commu nity and the nation,” Parker said. Lee’s attorneys, Mark Holscher and John Cline, said in a statement they were gratified by the decision “and will do everything in our power to prevent him from being placed in jail again.” Lee was not immediately released. The judge set a hearing for Tuesday on the conditions of his release. Under the judge’s proposal, the Taiwanese-born scientist would be required to remain at his White Rock home under surveillance at most times, and all of his telephone calls and mail could be inspected. He could leave only WEBSTER From Page 1 for a Peace, War, and Technology class at UNC-Charlotte. Webster, who declined to comment on the case while it is still pending, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 3. If convicted, Webster could face jail time.

Towns Consider Restricting Video Poker SHALLOTTE - Responding to South Carolina’s ban on video poker machines, some North Carolina border towns plan are moving to restrict use of the machines. After South Carolina’s ban took effect July 1, the General Assembly approved a law prohibiting new video poker machines in North Carolina and placing a three-machine limit on businesses effective Oct. 1. Some communities want even tougher measures. “South Carolina quit it and these peo ple had to get rid of their machines,” said Sunset Beach Town Administrator Linda Fluegel. “We found out they’re being stored in Brunswick County. The next step would be to open them.” Calabash has passed a 90-day mora torium on video gambling establish ments, buying time to enact ordinances that are stricter than the state laws but that would not ban video gambling out right. Nigeria Officials Search For Bodies After Fire ABUJA, Nigeria - Firefighters and stunned villagers searched for more bodies Wednesday after a gasoline pipeline explosion in southern Nigeria that killed more than 100 villagers who were scavenging for fuel and left 100 others seriously injured. Isolated fires still burned Wednesday morning, two days after the blast near the villages of Adeje and Oviri-Court in southern Nigeria, in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Clouds of black smoke hung over the area, and state petroleum company workers and firefighters continued efforts to extinguish the blaze, local action ECU will take against Webster. But the ASG Constitution mandates that the association’s president is a student in good standing at a UNC institution. Still, Webster said that he has no plans to resign his post as of now. “I am still the University of North Carolina ASG president, and I am still a member of the Board of Governors,” he said Thursday. ASG Vice President Liz Gardner, a UNC-Chapel Hill junior, said Webster could choose to step down, or he could be removed from office if articles of impeachment were brought against him. dence high, they said. “We got a lot of cards and flowers from customers,” said Sylvia Tometta, manager of Sal’s Pizza.

One reporter counted 100 bodies, while others who visited the scene esti mated that between 150 and 250 people were killed.

Wind, Lightening Make Western Fires Flare Up HELENA, Mont. - High wind fanned wildfires in the Bitterroot Valley on Thursday as crews braced for a weekend of gusty wind and dry lightning. Driven by 30- to 50-mph wind, a fire in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley jumped a road Thursday, and crews were trying to locate the fire’s leading edge. A day earlier, wind swept the blaze into new territory and authorities issued a mandatory evacuation order for about 20 homes. The fire ignited baled hay, but there was no confirmed loss of homes. The blaze was part of the 54,700- acre Skalkaho Complex, which is among 25 major fires burning 591,851 acres in Montana. Fires this year have burned 5.7 mil lion acres across the country, and the National Interagency Fire Center said 78 major fires were burning on 1.4 mil lion acres. The fire season already is the worst in at least a half-century, and the oudook remained bleak. The center said dry lightning storms were expected throughout Idaho, Montana and eastern Washington, increasing the chances of new fires. Associated Press Gardner said that while several ASG members knew about the arrest, it is unclear if the association would move to replace Webster. “There’s no plan of action right now,” she said. But even if his fellow students are for giving of him, Sanders said the arrest could hinder Webster’s reputation with other members of the BOG. “He enters duty as the student repre sentative with a cloud over his head.” The State & National Editor can be reached at sxntdesk@unc.edu. will open sometime this fall,” Harper said. “Some sooner than others.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
