Inman's three day total of 15 under par surpassed the 13 year NCAA rec ord for the individual championship previously held by former University of Texas golfer Ben Crenshaw, now a touring professional. Together with sophomore Davis Love's tournament total of four under par, the two were able to pace UNC to a respectable fourth place finish behind the Univer sity of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State; the University of Houston finished the tournament seven under par to take the team title. Inman, who entered the tournament after a strong showing in the recent North-South Amateur, began the final round of play by firing an eagle on the first hole. He promptly sank a 20-foot birdie on the second, and then blazed through the course with birdies on holes 14, 15 and 17. UNC head coach Devon Brouse called Inman's play "spectacular." "We're all very happy for John," said Brouse. "He has spent four years in a very good program and has always set high goals for himself." Inman has shown a steady rise to the top since his sophomore year when he won the ACC championship and re ceived third team All-American honors. Last year he was named to the second team Ail-American squad and this sea son helped the Tar Heels win the ACC golf crown, along with nabbing the NCAA's top individual honor. Inman's title and Love's North South Amateur victory has certainly placed 1984 among one of the best years ever for the UNC golf program. "I think that John's honor and the team's strong showing will definitely give our program great exposure and See INMAN on page 6 Chapel Hill Town Council Off-peak bus fares to rise By JAMAL EL-HINDI Tar Heel Staff Writer Off-peak bus fares will increase 25 percent following a Chapel Hill Town Council decision to raise prices despite transportation board reluctance. Other decisions in Tuesday's session included a disapproval of council salary increases, an adoption of a performance-based pay system, and an defer ral of a housing development approval. Fares will rise from 40 to 50 cents for adults and from 20 to 25 cents for senior citizens, youths and the handi capped during off-peak hours. Town Manager David Taylor recommended the bus fare hikes despite transporta tion board fears of reduced ridership. While the decision was unanimous, council members Marilyn Boulton and Jonathan Howes voiced concern over the transportation board's projections. "As an advisory board, it is their pur pose to let us know of these things," Boulton said. "We should pay atten tion if they say the increase will lead to ridership declines." "The transportation board should be able to say, 'We told you so,' if they are right and we are wrong," Howes said. Mayor Joe Nassif explained the deci sion as a way to spread continuing fare increases over time. The council had opted to increase fares gradually in stead of all at once, he said. In a five to four decision, the council rejected a proposal from member Win ston Broadfoot to raise their salaries $1,000. Broadfoot, who initiated last year's decision to reduce the mayor's salary from $10,000 to $7,000, said the increases would put council salaries in closer proportion to the mayor's figure and approximate statewide averages. Broadfoot also called for an increase in a council's salary of $1,000. Cur rently, the council member salaries are $3,000 per year. Members David Pasquini and R.D. Smith opposed the measure as a matter of principle. "I find it hard to accept public officials raising their own sala ries," Pasquini said. Smith said that he had never voted for a council salary increase, but he raised an unseconded motion to restore the mayor's $10,000 figure. Nassif criticized the council for "nit picking" with their salary budgets. "If you add it all together, it's peanuts compared to the whole budget," he said. Nassif questioned the council's "see sawing" in the matter. "It's ironic that the mayor's salary decrease was brought up by a member who had the salary in creased when he was mayor," Nassif said. Nassif advised the council to think of what each office entailed and urged them to be strong in their decision: "You are not ripping off this town. I encourage you to set salaries where you want them," he said. The council look ed to statewide salary averages, but it never settled for "average" community services, he said. The council deferred a proposed 61 lot subdivision off Piney Mountain Road back to the planning board after See COUNCIL on page 5 U.S. Stingers worry Israel The Associated Press WASHINGTON Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens is registering his concern over the delivery of 400 U.S. anti aircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia despite assurances of "strict safeguards" to keep the Stingers from terrorists. The deal authorized Tuesday by President Reagan per mits the Saudis to deploy the missiles anywhere on their ter ritory or on tankers carrying oil through the Persian Gulf. "They are purely defensive in every sense of the word," said Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman. But having faced Saudi arms in four Mideast wars, Israel is worried the missiles might be trained on them, fall into the hands of rebels if the monarchy is overthrown or be taken over by terorists. However, the sale is final and cannot be reversed by Con gress since Reagan invoked his emergency powers, so Arens docs not plan to dwell on the issue in a meeting with Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weingberger and at a lunch at the Israeli Embassy. U.S. arms sales was the likely topic at the luncheon, and top Pentagon and State Department officials in the security field will attend. Besides, U.S.-Israeli relations are warm, and the two gov ernments are making unpublicized but steady headway on military cooperation in the Middle East. "We're expecting a judicious exposition," said a State Department official be fore Arens arrived. He said Israel shares U.S. concerns about the war in the Persian Gulf and a potential decline in oil supplies through out the world. Despite reports: Tass says Sakharov doing fine The Stingers are shoulder-fired missiles with a range of three miles and can be used against low-flying attack planes. "It's an answer to an emergency situation in the Gulf that threatens Saudi shipping and Saudi shipping lanes," Speakes said. However, a diplomat who declined to be identified doubted the Stingers would make a difference. He said they were useless aboard a ship and ineffective against planes because of their short range. " . Americans will train the Saudis to operate the missiles and will fly tankers to refuel the F-15 jet Fighters sold to the Saudis during the Carter administration. In addition to the Stingers, Reagan ordered American-piloted KC-10 tanker planes to help in refueling Saudi fighter planes. Pentagon spokesman Michael Burch said the refueling "will take place in Saudi airspace, most likely over the land mass." Reagan said at a news conference last week the possibility of direct U.S. intervention in the 44-month war between Iran and Iraq was "very slight." Besides delivering the missiles and adding the tanker to three already at the Saudis' disposal, the adrninistration b speeding delivery of fuel tanks, ammunition and spare parts. The Saudis also requested bomb racks for their 62 F-15 jets, but the United States declined, officials here said. The Pentagon said the Saudis will pay $40 million for the missiles and the cost of U.S. personnel training the Saudis to use the weapons, which carry fragmentation warheads and home in on the heat generated by the engines of attacking planes. The Stinger is about 5 feet long and weighs about 34.5 pound. The Associated Press MOSCOW Andrei D. Sakharov is feeling well and eating regularly, the official news agency Tass said Wednes day, contradicting reports that the prominent Soviet dissident is on hunger strike. A friend of Sakharov's reported May 8 that the 63-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner began a hunger strike May 2 to try to persuade Soviet authorities to grant his wife, Yelena Bonner, an exit visa for medical treatment abroad. But Tass said today: "What about a hunger strike? Here are the exact medi cal facts: Sakharov feels himself well, is eating regularly and carries out an ac tive way of life." A Soviet source said earlier Wednes day that Sakharov had been taken to a hospital Friday because of complica tions from his fast. The Tass report did not say whether Sakharov was in the hospital or at home in the closed city of Gorky, 250 miles east of Moscow. He was ordered into internal exile in Gorky in 1980.
