2 Wednesday, November 7, 2001 CHAPEL HILL MAYOR From Page 1 supporters. Pavao and his supporters gathered around the computer at Pavao’s cam paign manager’s home, watching the screen intently as the poll results were tabulated. Pavao attributed his defeat to nega tive campaigning by Foy. But he said he was satisfied with his own campaign. “I don’t think I would have changed the tenor of of my campaign.” Pavao said. “I think there were things brought up that had no bearing on Chapel Hill or what the campaign was about.” Pavao said he will not be involved in town government for a while but that he intends to stay involved in the commu nity. “Chapel Hill is my town,” Pavao said. “I’m going to continue to be involved in the organizations I have been involved with. I just won’t be in town government for a while.” Pavao said he is uncertain as to whether he will run for a town govern ment position again in the future. “I’ll keep an eye on how the town is doing, how the mayor is doing,” he said. “I will make that decision when I get there.” Now that several months of cam paigning have drawn to a close, Foy said his first goal as mayor will be to organize the council. “It is going to require a lot of effort,” he said. “There’s three new faces there.” Senior Writer Matt Viser contributed to this article.

At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said an assessment of the claimed move against the strategic northern city would have to wait until the “dust setded” and there was a pause in the fighting. Even if true, it would mean opposi tion forces were several dozen miles away across mountainous terrain from Mazar-e-Sharif, with winter closing in. But after seesawing battles south of Mazar-e-Sharif in recent weeks, the opposition said intense strikes by American planes helped open the way for Tuesday’s advance. The alliance had complained earlier that U.S. bombing was not heavy enough. go to dailytarheel.com ■ Business School Transitions To New Network ■ By Paige Ammons ■ Muslim Students Coordinate Week of Islamic Awareness ■ By Joelle Ruben ■ Clinton's National Security Adviser to Speak On Campus ■ By Allison Lewis
