Two found guilty of solicitation
By DORA MCALPIN
Staff Writer
Two Durham women were found
guilty of solicitation for prostitution
Thursday, but charges of solicitation for
crimes against nature were dropped.
Sandra Jane Brown, 21, and Diana
Lane Fortinberry, 27, were arrested in
mid July, following a police under
cover investigation of University Mas
sage on W. Franklin Street, where the
women worked.
Brown and Fortinberry were both
charged with one count of solicitation
for prostitution. Brown was originally
charged with two counts of solicitation
for crimes against nature, while For
tinberrry was charged with one count
of the offense.
Brown was found guilty of solicita
tion for prostitution based on the
testimony of a Durham police officer
who said that Brown offered him sexual
favors in return for money.

shuttle Discovery finally got off the
ground Thursday, beautifully and
flawlessly, and its crew launched a
communications satellite attached to
the same kind of rocket motor that sent
two earlier satellites into useless orbits.
After three postponements, Discov-
ery's crew had to endure yet another
wait for liftoff - seven minutes this time
- because a private plane was circling
offshore for a close, but hazardous, view
of the launch. It was chased out of the
area by an Air Force plane and the
Federal Aviation Administration said
it would take action against the pilot.

Durham Police Department, said that
the offense occurred on July 3, when
he made a plainclothes investigation of
University Massage, where Brown was
employed.
"I told her first thing that I wasn't
there for a massage," Walker said.
He testified that Brown said she
already knew he wanted more than a
massage and asked what services he
would like.
According to Walker, Brown sug
gested various sexual acts and offered
them to him at a higher fee than the
$40 he had already paid for the massage.
Walker testified that he asked for his
money back, telling Brown that she had
not mentioned what he wanted to hear.
He said she returned the money, and
he left the massage parlor.
Brown denied both stating prices and
naming sexual acts that she might
perform for money.
In spite of her testimony, Brown was
convicted of solicitation for prostitution
and District Court Judge Stanley Peele
sentenced her to a five-year suspended
sentence.
Brown was granted a suspended
sentence only on the condition that she
serve a four month active sentence
beginning Oct. 3.
The maximum penalty for the mis
demeanor of solicitation for prostitu
tion is a 16 month sentence.

Attorney Carl Fox, terms of Brown's

The three-year owner of the Upper
Deck Tavern, a favorite student hang
out located above the Porthole Restau
rant in Fraternity Row, says he can't
understand why the building owner
closed the bar.
The Upper Deck was forced to close
this summer when building owner
Williard Marley refused to renew a
month to month lease with the
tavern owner.

probation forbid her from being in
Chapel Hill, from associating with any
of the seven others arrested with her
or with anyone employed by University
Massage.
Fortinberry pleaded guilty to the
charge of solicitation for prostitution.
She said, however, "I'm not a prostitute;
it's just something I did ... and I have
no intention of ever doing this again."
In a private interview with Fortin
berry Thursday, Orange County Pro
bation Officer Pamela McSwain deter
mined that Fortinberry was a good
candidate for probation since she
judged Fortinberry to be genuinely
sorry for her offense.
Because of this, Fortinberry received
a two-year probation sentence.
Under the terms of her probation,
Fortinberry has two weeks to pay the
Chapel Hill Police Department $40, the
fee that an undercover police officer
gave her when he requested a massage.
Judge Peele dropped all charges of
solicitation for crimes against nature
after Fortinberry's attorney, Charles
Bendley, pointed out that no statute
exists in North Carolina making this
a crime.
"She was charged with violating a
statute, but there's no such crime,"
Bendley said. "They charged her with
soliciting; the statute doesn't have
anything to do with soliciting."
To commit a crime against nature is
a felony, but there is no penalty for
solicitation, according to Bendley.

Upper Deck's demise

said Marley terminated the lease
because he (Marley) felt the tavern was
hurting the Porthole's business.
"I think we were more of an advan

disadvantage; I really can't see how we
could hurt Porthole business," Huff
said.
The Upper Deck was forced to close
its doors for the last time July 31.
Huff said that Marley complained
about trash, loud music and plumbing
problems at the tavern, but he said they

Religion, politics
UNC Christian groups differ
By AMY STYERS
Staff Writer
With the Moral Majority's million
dollar voter registration drive underway
in North Carolina, obsevers are wond
ering whether religion and politics will
become intertwined in campus religious
groups throughout the state.
Spokesmen of UNC Christian stu
dent organizations differ on how their
organizations and members should
participate in politics, but all say
Christian students can make their own
choices before the ballot box in
November.
"Our major purpose is not political,"
said Richard Rhodes, staff director of
the 500-member Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship. "We dont take a political
stance as a group," he said of the
interdenominational organization.
"Especially in our group, I want to
help them to learn how to think clearly
about these issues, to look at all
different sides and to interpret the issues
according the context of the Bible."
"However, I believe church leaders
should seek to challenge their members
to consider political issues from a
biblical perspective.
"Nothing directly is said that students
should support one candidate over
another but rather that they should
practice their right to vote," he said.

For some, a parking space
is a matter of life and death
By KATY FRIDL

"After 10 years in Latin America, I
was looking forward to the peace of
parking, my car. I have struggled with
finding, a house, to. rent and paying. Jie ,
electricity bill ... the parking permit may
be the straw."
This graduate student and commuter,
applying for a hardship parking permit,
explained he was suffering from
"reverse culture shock" due to the stress
of finding a parking space in the P-Lot,
two miles from campus.
More than 2,000 applications have
been submitted to Student Government
by graduate and undergraduate stu
dents hoping to obtain one of 500
permits still available on various lots
on campus, including the new lot near
the Student Activities Center.
Larry Davis, chairperson of Student
Government's parking task force, said
"The hardship permits will not be
distributed on a first-come, first-serve
basis. Instead, each application will be
carefully reviewed by a five-person
committee on the basis of seniority and
need."
The extreme shortage of parking
spaces for UNC students - approxi
mately 4,000 - is a major problem for
every student, but is an additional
inconvenience for those who live off
campus.
Student Government sets the prior
ities for parking permit allocations,
subject to approval by the UNC Traffic
Office.
"This year people are, fighting for
spaces in F-Lot for several reasons,"
said Student Body President Paul
Parker. "The number of spaces on
North Campus was reduced by 140 due
to the pending construction of the
computer center behind Phillips, and
priorities have changed on campus
parking."
"To solve the parking problem, we
have to pedestrianize thecampus,"
Parker said. "There simply aren't
enough spaces to accomodate the cars
of undergraduate residents, graduate
students and commuters."
Because of football Saturdays, it is
not possible for dormitory residents to
use the new lot at the SAC.
People off the busline will have the
highest priority, followed by graduate
students, those with administrative jobs
who don't have permits and especially
commuters. Undergraduate students
will be considered by seniority.
took care of those things whenever there
was a complaint.
Tavern manager Joe Townsend said
plumbing repairs totaled $200 and were
the only extra expenditures.
Marley, who has owned what was
known as the McCauly building before
it became the Porthole and the Upper
Deck, since 1941, said he leased the
Upper Deck to Huff in a written
contract for a year beginning in
November 1981. After it expired, the

endorse condidates but says its members
are not forced to vote accordingly.
"It's not so much a stance we take
but rather an emphasis," Dave Fazio,
current member and last year's vice
president, said. "It's not that they're
forced to vote for them. They can see
that that's the one who measures up

idea that the separation of church and
state is in the U.S. Constitution and the
Bill of Rights, but it's not," Woodward
said. : - .
Fazio added, "It is in the Soviet
Union Constitution, though."
Representatives from several reli
gious organizations thought telling
students who to vote for could be a
harmful practice.
The committee eventually wants to
place undergraduates on various lots on
South Campus, and use the lot near
the SAC for commuters.
Many female' applicants are uncom
ioriaJbleith the prospect of walking
to their North Campus dormitory at
night after parking their cars in a South
Campus- lot. Resident Assistants cited
the necessity of having their car in the
area nearest their dormitory, in the
event of an emergency. Other students,
especially those from out-of-state, use
their cars only on weekends and
holidays, yet they want a safe place to
park their cars.
Parker said UNC security would be
increased on South Campus to discour

space allocations.

"I totally disagree with that," Father
Tim O'Conner of the Catholic Campus
Ministry said. "I think an organization
should publicize all candidates running
for office, but I think to assume the
responsibility of telling people who to
vote for is to take away their freedom
to vote and their right of conscience.
It almost comes across as a form of
dictatorship."
Rhodes said he would have to dis
agree with certain practices of Christian
organizations such as the Moral
Majority.
"The conflict I often have with the
Moral Majority is that they don't chal
lenge people to think as much as they
do to vote for what they think is moral."
"They represent themselves as if they
were the only Christians," Reverand
Manuel Wortman, the United Metho
dist Campus Minister, said. "Christian
ity is such a pluralistic lot, policitally."
Some Christian organizations have
tentative plans for the nearing elections.
The Newman Center, Home of the
Catholic Campus Ministry, may offer
voter registration as they did this
summer before the primary elections.
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship has
discussed plans for a debate concerning
how to choose a candidate, Rhodes
said. Campus Crusade for Christ, along
with several other groups, says they will
encourage their members to vote in the
elections.
addition, the P-Lot which is located
near the Horace Williams airport, will
have increased security. The lot is
fenced, Parker said, and will be
patrolled by UNC security. The fee for
: a P-Lot ..parking permit is. $4 per jrear,
because a bus pass costs about $60.
Permits for the P-Lot are on sale in
the UNC Traffic Office.
The P-Lot would be ideal for those
students who use their cars mainly on
weekends and holidays, Parker said.
A list of successful applicants will be
posted Friday morning, Sept. 7 outside
Suite C in the Carolina Union. Any
person having a current permit must
trade the sticker if he receives a new
assignment through the hardship
process.
