Norberg hugs a campaign worker after the final tally showed Norberg had eked out a win over opponent Joe Buckner by a 28-vote margin. DTH Jay Hyman Dy WILLIAM PESCHEL Staff Writer It came down to the last two boxes Morrison and Y-Court and when the results were posted, Scott Norberg became student body president by 28 votes. Norberg supporters stationed on the left side of the Carolina Union's Great Hall roared when the re sults appeared on the overhead screen on the stage. Buckner's supporters on the right side said nothing and left quickly. "We gave it our best shot," said Summey Orr, Buckner's campaign manager. "When you go into a runoff, your people tend to relax. Twenty-nine people too many said Joe's got it in the bag." Buckner won a majority of the votes in the general election, but not enough for a majority. "I am very happy," Norberg said between hugs and a dousing of beer. Twice lifted on the shoulders of his supporters, he was dumped into a pool of water in the Pit. "We worked our tails off," said Danny McKeithen, a Norberg supporter. "Our people were fired up. We covered every dorm, buses, on-campus twice and three times over. The grad students came through for us. The grad students should definitely consider themselves, a part of Student Government." At Morehead Cellar in Cobb Dormitory, Buckner congratulated Norberg on his victory as Norberg workers applauded both candidates. In Carr parking lot, Buckner's workers presented him with a cake with an image of his button on the icing. Buckner told his workers not to be ashamed because they had run a good and fair race. "You should not be bitter, you fought a hard race," he said. "It's just an election. Let's wake up tomorrow morning and say we tried. We almost did it, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Buckner did not appear in Great Hall during the vote counting because he said he needed a couple of hours of sleep. "I just decided to stay away, but win or lose, I was going to come over later," he said. In other races, Steve Theriot defeated Jake Kelly for Carolina Athletic Association president 3,278 2,583, and Robert Mann defeated Andy Harkov for the Graduate and Professional Student Federation president 339-282. The presidential race was extremely close through out the night, with both Buckner and Norberg sup porters cheering for every box won, no matter how small. Boxes won by Buckner in the last election either went for Norberg or were won by a smaller margin for Buckner. At the Craige box, more students voted this time than in the general election, adding 56 votes to Norberg's total. "We went through that dorm three times between 5 and 6:30," McKeithen said. "There was a large percentage of people who did not even know they could vote.' But the biggest surprise came when Norberg won the James box 316-204-With the help of James Governor Eii McCullough in the last election, Buckner won by 50 votes. Norberg's victory stunned Buckner's supporters. "I have no idea. I can't explain it," McCullough said quietly. "We had a lot of people working for me, for Scott," said Tavia Hutchins, a resident of James. "We went through James five, six, seven times." Hutchins said at least 35 James residents the self styled "James Gang" went door-to-door through the dorm. The group included James' two lieutenant governors and other floor leaders. With Morrison and Y-Court still left uncounted, Buckner led by 216 votes. Then Lesa Harper, Nor berg's campaign manager, stepped near the candi date. Speaking low, she told him they won Morrison. "By how much?" Norberg asked. "I'm not going to tell." . The rumor spread through the crowd as they waited for the official result. Norberg walked to the front and put his arms around two of his campaign work ers. People were standing on chairs. The vote chart was taken off the overhead projector on the stage. The crowd went quiet. When the chart was placed back on the projector, Norberg had lost Scuttlebutt 144-97, but won Morrison 392-171. . The final result: Norberg 2.9S8, Buckner 2,960. Tmi .

"We live on a terminally ill planet," said a doctor concerned with the health effects of nuclear power and weapons in a speech Tuesday night in Hamilton Hall. Helen Caldicott, an Australian pediatrician now liv ing in Massachusetts, has worked for two years to reverse the arms race and to warn people of nuclear power hazards. She is also the author of Nuclear Madness and a former president of Physicians for Social Responsibility! "Don't count on the doctors if there is a nuclear war," she said. "There would be too many casualties and too few doctors and facilities." Caldicott said a nuclear war would take as little as 30 minutes to complete, yet the results would be catastro phic. A 20-megaton bomb (equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT) would produce a firestorm of more than 3,000 square miles and would cause even those in shelters to asphyxiate, she said. , Caldicott gave further examples of nuclear devasta tion, and said, that the earthy, protective ozone Jayer would be destroyed, the water would be contaminated and a resurgence of diseases such as typhoid and polio would afflict the survivors of the devastation. . Caldicott also said that the public has yet to see the final results of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor accident. She said radioactive gases released into the air were inhaled by the inhabitants of the surrounding area, and. that in time these people could develop cancer caused by the radiation. The time it would take for radiation cancer to develop is five to 50 years, she said, noting that victims of the 1945 atomic bomb raids on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are just now beginning to show symptoms of cancer. "These bombs just don't kill people suddenly," she said. "They go on forever killing people." Americans are constantly coming into contact with nuclear material as well, Caldicott said. She said that in the town of Grand Junction, Colo., houses, schools, a shopping center and an airport were built on concrete foundations inadvertently mixed with "radioactive 'tailings, ! Vsancf-fike residue left from mater ials such as radium and uranium used in the production of nuclear power and weapons. ; Caldicott said nuclear power "is the most important issue facing us at this time," and that with inadequate safety precautions and disposal systems, mankind is seriously endangering not only the land, but himself as well. "We did not as much inherit the earth from our ancestors," she said, "as we have borrowed it from our descendants." Caldicott's final topic was the rapid proliferation of nuclear arms in the world. Giving a nation the capacity to produce nuclear energy is basically the same as giv- -ing it the capability to produce a nuclear bomb, she said, claiming that "all nuclear reactors are, in fact, bomb factories." "I personally will be very glad if we see another sum mer," she said. If 01 Hi Joy Hyman Dr. Helen Ccfdicott at bbckfacerd In Itemi'ton Tuesday night ... warned audience of hidden dangers of nuclear power 77 Tnn r i 1 1 t i i : . j 7J to E WASHINGTON (AP) Geologists doing re search on the continental shelf have discovered major deposits of phosphate, crucial in making fertilizers. The National Science Foundation announced the discovery Sunday. It said the huge phos phate deposits, located about 60 miles off the coast of North Carolina, cover hundreds of square miles and have valuable commercial potential. Dwindling domestic stocks of the mineral have spawned fears of American de pendence on foreign sources. "This is a very exciting find," said William Stowasser, a phosphate commodity specialist fcr ili'S U.S. BurCwi of rVfancs. "Some of the very rich phosphate deposits ori American land will be depleted in the 1990s, and there has been a lot of concern that other coun tries might attempt an OP EC-type arrangement to increase prices as our supplies dwindle," Stowasser said. OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Ex porting Countries, is a cartel that provides about 26 percent of the oil used in the United State?. "It's good to know that there is something we are not going to run out of," Stowasser said of the discovery. Scientists said their initial findings indicate a hrf rfnrK rvlrndina fcrer.J belt or pnecsnste almost 100 miles southwest of Bogue Banks to a point off Cape Fear. The richest single deposit tested so far in the new find is up to 26 feet thick and spreads out over an area of hundreds of square miles. ' -Dr. Stanley R. Riggs of East Carolina Univer sity in Greenville and Dr. Albert C. Hine of the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg made the 'discovery while studying how such deposits form. Phosphates are necessary nutrients for plant growth, and phosphate fertilizers are essential to the productivity of the U.S. agricultural sector. Almost 85 percent of the U.S. supply of phosphates for fertilizer is produced in North Carolina and Florida.

I , Center Director Janet Colm said. Of the 11 sexual assaults reported to the center, three also were reported to the police. One arrest was made in Durham County in connection with one of the rapes. Most of the rapes occurred in Chapel Hill. One took place in a dorm room, at least two others happened in motor vehicles when the women accepted rides or w ere forced into cars, and several women were raped in their homes. The II victims ranged in age from prc-tccn-acrs to a 47-year-cld. Cc'm said only two of the rapes involved weapons, one cf w hich w as a knife. One victim was s'irhtly injured. Also, Colm said, "At least half of (the victims) knew the person who had raped them. This is pretty common." . Colm said two myths about self-defense and : rape needed to be dismissed: 'Tint, that if you fight back you will be killed, and sreond, that if y ou don't fight back, then it's not rape. "Studies have shown that women who fljht back s'ijhiSy increase their chances of hting hurt. . Sbghtly., But they do increase their chance of escaping rape," hc said. .

When the woman has been raped on a date, Colm said the man sometimes didn't consider it rape. After wining and dining the woman, the man often feels that he deserves sexual gra tification. Cclrn said women must realize that "they don't owe the guy anything." "The element of trust is on the part of the female. Often the woman is totally unsuspecting," she added." Colm said she found that most rape preven tion was directed toward rapes involving an unknown rapist.
