The Franklin Street celebration that followed
the UNC basketball team's defeat in the NCAA
finals was marred by several outbreaks of vio
lence, including a shooting incident, police said.
A shooting incident near the Pittsboro St.
and West Cameron Avenue intersection around
11:30 p.m. left two men injured. One of them
. required treatment at North Carolina Memorial
Hospital. A number of fights broke out in the ,
crowd. ,
-I Millard Hugo Taybron of Durham was
charged with two counts of assault with a
deadly weapon for firing a .22 caliber revolver
at two men. The two were identified by police
as Eston Reeves, of Chapel Hill, and Greg
Paul Lcitner, a Florida resident stationed at
the Portsmouth, Va., naval base.
None of the three were students. ,
Lcilzzz, tz 20. suffered a wound in his left
loulder. A bullet entered his back and exited
from his chest just above his third rib. Reeves,
age 21, did not require medical attention.
Leitner was listed as being in serious condi
tion by a hospital spokesperson. Taybron is
still being held by police.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Herman Stone ex
pressed concern over the evening as a whole.
"It was very rough, and a lot of people got
hurt. The crowd was too large and was drink
ing too much."
Stone reported that 25 to 30 serious fights
broke out on Franklin Street. He estimated
that 20,000 to 25,000 people converged on the
street during the course of the evening.
A number of people received cuts of varying
severity.
Several people on Franklin Street
complained of fireworks going off very near
people. Other people pldced lighted firecrack
ers in bottles and cans, causing debris to fly
when the fireworks exploded.
"It was the largest crowd I have ever seen
downtown. It was also the most unruly,"
Stone said.
The police present, for the most part, man
aged to avoid injury in the evening's skirmishes.
One officer was hit by a thrown bottle and'
another had his hat knocked off by airborne
debris, but these were the only incidents directly
'involving police, Stone said.
The police tolerated violations of several
laws, especially those concerning public drink
ing, but were instructed to see that no private
property was damaged. Several people were
stopped from tearing down signs by the police.
Stone contrasted Monday's celebration with
those of the past. "There were no fights reported
last Saturday. In 1977 we had a few problems,
but none of the brawls typical of (this) Monday
night. In 1957 the gathering was just a festive
atmosphere, with practically no trouble at all."

WASHINGTON President Ronald Reagan re
bounded Tuesday from gunshot surgery "extremely
well" and with a strong dose of humor as he resumed
command of the presidency.
Vice President George Bush said Reagan looked
robust as he took up presidential business from his
hospital bed early Tuesday morning. Bush, mean
while, assumed the president's day-to-day White
House schedule. r
. .Reagan was described by doctors as being in "ex
cellent spirits," fewer than 24 hours after the assail
ant's bullet was removed from his left lung.
"The president continues on the road to recovery.
He is doing extremely well," said Reagan's personal
physician, Dr. Daniel Ruge.
During the day, the 70-year-old president was

A
attempt causes
s
hock, sorrow
Disbelief and sadness were the primary reactions
of Chapel Hill residents to Monday's attempted as
sassination of President Ronald Reagan, according
to an informal Daily Tar Heel poll conducted on
campus and oh Franklin Street.
"It was unbelievable, really. When I first heard, I
thought it was a joke," said Kathleen Whitt, the
manager of the Chapel Hill Laundromat. "Reagan
has come out of this so well. He is a strong man to
be 70 years old," she said.
Lucy McCauley, a sophomore from Wilmington,
expressed shock. "When it first happened, I was
shocked. It hurt to think that that type of thing is
still going on. I thought my generation had gone be
yond something like that."
She said she was afraid that if something happened
, to Reagan, Bush would have to take over.
"I was disappointed, almost disgusted to hear of
the attempt on the President's life," said Kelly
Eplee, a senior from Charlotte. "We finally got a
man like Reagan,, who is making an effort to do
something, and then someone comes along and tries
to waste him," he said.
Page Davis, who was working at an outside display
on Franklin Street, . recalled earlier presidential at
tacks. "After President (John) Kennedy and Robert
Kennedy were shot, I thought something like this
wouldn't happen," she said. "When I came down to '
Franklin Street Monday night, everybody was rioting.
Even though I knew Reagan wasn't killed, I couldn't
get into the crowd. It seemed inappropriate and
bizarre."
"The attempt was not terribly shocking. However,
that's not the way to eliminate what you think is
bad," said Kathy Moore, a sophomore from Raleigh.
"But now that Reagan knows what it's like to be
shot, maybe he'll think twice before sending Ameri
cans to EI Salvador," she said.
Some people also expressed sympathy for the
family of the man accused in the assassination
attempt John Warnock Hinckley.
Loretta Almond, a Winston-Salem junior said, "I
think it's sad it happened. I feel sorry for the family
of the alleged assassin and the publicity that they will
be receiving."
"I was surprised. I really hadn't thought of any
body trying. I hate that it happened, but I'm glad
Press Secretary (James) Brady didn't die," said Mack
Snipes, a barber in Chapel Hill. "I'm more sorry for
Hinckley's parents than for him. You know they love
him," he said.-

staff members, 15 visitors in all, while, the vice pres
ident conducted White House business and also
stopped by the hospital.
At the White House aides took pains to portray
the government as tunctiowng normally, isusn cj
rected a Cabinet meeting and met with dignitaries.
White House communications were installed at
the George Washington University Hospital, where
Reagan was recuperating, seven blocks west of the
wmte House.
"We're fully prepared to take care of anything,"
said deputy White House Press Secretary Larry
Speakes. "He's fully able to function as he would
be anywhere in the world."
White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker III
said that shortly after the wounded president reached
the hospital Monday, full communications were
opened between the medical center, the White House
situation room and the airplane carrying Bush back
to Washington from Texas.
Baker insisted the administration was prepared at
all times "for, any contingency that might arise."
The chief of staff refused to say whether the
United States had sought assurances from the Soviet
Union or warned Moscow' not to try to take advan
tage of the situation.

tary James S. Brady, a Secret Service agent and a
District of Columbia police officer. Brady, shot in
the forehead, was described by Dr. Dennis O'Leary
as having suffered "fairly extensive damage" to the
right side of the brain.
"We believe he is going to live, but we have no
idea where he is going to end up," said O'Leary.
Later in the day, Speakes said he was "very opti
mistic" about Brady.
Baker said the president had been informed at
' 12:16 p.m. by his personal physician. Dr. Daniel
Kuge, inai uraay was cruicaiiy wounaea ana inai a
Secret Service agent and policeman also had been
shot. ." 1 1 ' ' "
The president asked if the bullet that hit Brady in
the head had entered his brain, Baker said, and
when told it had, Reagan said, "Oh damn, Oh damn."
O'Leary, who is chief of clinical affairs at George
Washington University Hospital, said Brady's pro
gress "has really been extraordinary."
O'Leary said the bullet caused "some minimal
amount of damage" to the left side of the brain,
which controls Brady's mental processes, speech
and motor movement on his right side.
The "fairly extensive damage" occurred on the
right side of Brady's brain, his non-dominant side.
Brady could move his right limbs on command,
O'Leary said, and his eyes were open.
The bullet entered Brady's head beside the left
eye and rested in the right rear portion of the skull.
It was removed intact, O'Leary said. The hospital
listed Brady's condition officially as "serious but
improving."
The president also was told that the Secret Service
agent and policeman who were hit was expected to
live.
John Warnock Hinckley Jr., the 23-year-old
Coloradan charged with trying to assassinate Rea
gan, was held at the Marine base in Quant ko, Va.,
after a midnight court appearance at which he was
described by U.S. Attorney Charles Ruff as "wan
dering, aimless, irresponsible." No bond was set.
Hinckley spelled out his intent to kill Reagan in
an unmailcd letter to the young co-star of a movie
about a political assassin Justice Department sources
said Tuesday.
The sources said investigators found a letter ad
dressed to movie act rest Jodie Foster. She was fea
tured in the film "Taxi Driver," In which the male
lead plots the assassination of a political figure.
According t o the sources, 1 Unckky wrote to Foster.
"I'm going to do it for you."
One Justice Department source, who asked not to
be named, said that one of at least two unmailcd
letters wriitcn to Foster expressed Hinckley's desire
to "go out and do something to get turn '.elf li'Icd."

game to win the title, and we lost that game."
That game was Ind 63-50 v ictory over
the Tar Heels in. Monday . night's NCAA
championship game at the Spectrum in Phil

of disappointment:, of course, but there was
still a lot of pride and a sense of accomplish
ment tn the air as the team returned home to
a crowd of about 250,
. "Coach Smith really couldn't talk to u
much right after the fame," Wood said. "All

"At least we got here," he said in response
to the quest ionwhich inevitably came up after
'the UNC coach's record in NCAA final jpmcs
fell to" 0-3. "There are a lot of teams who
never see the Final Four."
To be exact, there were 260 teams who tried
but failed to make it to the final Four. Some -never
had a chance to be there. Smith's team
was widely thought to be among that jrroup
when the seaon re -an.
"Everybody thought that this was going to
