And there may not be a reason for the champagne to flow for any candi date if all the votes aren't tallied by 1 1 p.m. Elections Board Chairman Edwin Fountain says when the bewitching 1 Ith hour hits, the boxes will be put away and counting will resume tomorrow. However, Fountain said he was very confident all the votes would be tallied by 1 1 p.m. Fountain said the no-alcohol ruling was laid down to him by the Union. Union President Terry Bowman explained that technically, alcohol was allowed in the Great Hall. But according to the University's alcohol policy, the Elections Board would have to post people at the door to check identifica tion and would have to hire a policeman for security. "We can't card," Fountain said. "We have too much other stuff to do." And he said the Elections Board did not have the money to hire a policeman for the evening. Money was also a factor in the decision to stop counting votes at 11 p.m. because the Election's Board would be charged $15 each hour after 1 1 p.m. that they kept Great Hall open. The ruling won't stop the partying for some candidates. "Well party beforehand and then go up there," said Residence Hall Asso ciation president candidate Shannon ) .... 'j Last shootout Man charged with girl's murder denied bond By MIKE GUNZENHAUSER Staff Writer An Orange County judge denied bond yesterday to a Hillsborough man charged with the kidnapping, rape and murder of an 8-year-old Chapel Hill girl. Bond for George Richard Fisher, 35, of Route 6, Hillsborough was set at $1 million for kidnapping and rape charges. District Attorney Carl Fox recommended, however, that Judge Donald Paschal deny Fisher bond on the first-degree murder charge. Jean Kar-Har Fewel, of 713 Tinker bell Lane, was found last Wednesday, hanged and slumped beneath a tree east of Finley Golf Course at the Mason Farm Biological Reserve, just a few hundred feet from the Durham County line. Fewel's lower body lay on the ground, and a plastic-coated rope was around her neck when she was found by a man walking his dogs Wednesday around noon. Fisher, who is employed by Paul Howard Construction Co., was arrested late Saturday on breaking and entering charges. He was in custody in Hillsbo rough when police arrested him early Sunday on murder charges. Paschal set a tentative hearing date of Feb. 26. Police last week did not know whether Fewel's death was a suicide or murder. Police had been looking for a mid-1970s tan Plymouth Satellite, a description fitting Fisher's car. Dan E. Gilbert, area supervisor for the State Bureau of Investigation, said authorities believed Fewel was abducted while valking to Ephesus Road Ele mentary School Wednesday morning. "We're continuing our investigation," Gilbert said. "We've had excellent support from the public." Gilbert said the investigation was "very thorough and diligent" and. involved UNC police. Chapel Hill police. Orange and Durham County Friend. "It saves having to buy champagne." Student body president candidate David Dickson said he also planned to party a little but he had not planned to drink in Great Hall. "If I win I'd like to be coherent enough to get ready for the run-off," he said. Although SBP candidate Fetzer Mills said the no-alcohol ruling would not affect him since he did not drink, he said, "1 think it was very much a Scrooge or Grinch mentality to do that (ban alcohol). It's always been allowed in Great Hall in the past," Carolina Athletic Association Pres ident candidate Gene Krcelic said earlier yesterday that he and opponent Mark Pavao planned to meet in Great Hall with a six-pack of beer and watch the returns together. Krecelic could not be reached later for comment, but it is asumed his plans will be altered somewhat. Candidates, while understanding of the Elections Board's reasons for stopping the vote count at 1 1 p.m., seemed disappointed that they might not know the results until tomorrow. "I'm not pleased with that at all," Mills said. "The Elections Board has done a lot of work. It's probably the most thankless job on campus. "But candidates deserve to know what the results are as soon as possible," he said. "It would be anti-climactic to find out at 1 1 (a.m.) or noon the next day." "It's frustrating because you'd cer tainly like to know the results before DTH Nancy London Candidates for student body president gathered in the Swain Hall Corral last night for a a debate which was aired live on STV and WXYC. The event, the final showdown between all nine of the hopefuls, was the first ever live production on STV. sheriffs and the SB1. Fewel was in the process of being adopted by Tom W. Fewel and Joy Wood. She moved to Chapel Hill a year ago from an orphanage in Hong Kong. Mr. Fewel said yesterday that he and Wood had no more information than what had already been released. He would not comment on Fisher's arrest. '4 George Fisher (right), charged with - Mas? A child miseducated is a child lost John F. Kennedy going to bed," SBP candidate Joe Stewart said. But he added he under stood the problems behind continuing the count past 11. Daily Tar Heel co-editor candidate David Schmidt said he was not sitting on the edge of his seat awaiting the outcome. , "We've said what we wanted to say, and done what we wanted to do," he said. "People are pretty amazed at how calm I am." Most candidates, while tired from campaigning, said they planned to spend last night and today encouraging students to vote. "I'm encouraging people not to vote for me, but to vote in general," Stewart said. He anticipates a turnout of 6,000 voters depending on the. weather. "Considering the number of candidates, it should be phenomenal," he said. Dickson's plans include riding the University Shuttle bus route for a couple of hours encouraging students to vote. "Win or lose, I've done everything in my power to be student body president," he . said. Dickson's plans for tomorrow also include getting up at 5:30 a.m. to wait in line for Eddie Murphy tickets. Richard DeBusk, a write-in candi date for student body president, said his last-minute plans included putting up posters in classrooms. "The posters will be just reiterating the anti-Doug (Berger) platform," he said.

Voting Sites Spencer Mclver i Parker Ruffin Cobb Everett Ehringhaus Connor Granville Murphy Students start linin to buy tickets for s By STEVE FERGUSON Assistant News Editor The heat is on for Eddie Murphy tickets. -"How much longer are we going to freeze out here?" one student asked ticket distributors yesterday afternoon, as he and hundreds of others waited outside the Union Gallery. Union President Terry Bowman said ticket distribution was being handled similarly to basketball tickets, in that people wishing to buy tickets lined up and were given a card with a number. Those with numbers checked in at the Union at 8 p.m. last night, midnight, 6 a.m. this morning, and will continue the cycle at 7 p.m., 1 1 p.m. and 6 a.m. Wednesday morning. Under the system, someone must be present at the Union with the card when the number is called. Union represen tatives will check the name and number on a list, and that person will be allowed to buy a ticket at the Union box office. Ticket sales begin 10 a.m. Wednesday, and only cash. Visa or MasterCard will be accepted. A ticket for the March 27 event costs $ 1 5. Bowman said he felt this was the most equitable way to distribute tickets for Hotels full for graduation, some require two-night stay By GUY LUCAS Staff Writer Many area hotels are already booked up for graduation weekend, and those that aren't may require that reservations be made for two nights or more. Gene Walton, manager of the Carol ina Inn, said it was normal for hotels to have a minimum stay at certain peak times of the year. He said that if hotels did not have a minimum stay for those times, many people would only stay one night. Then the hotels would lose business because rooms would remain empty while people who wanted to stay two nights would be staying somewhere else. Herb Jacob, manager of the Holiday Inn on highway 15-501, explained that unless hotels impose a minimum stay when reservations are made far in advance, as they are for graduation, hotels end up with a high number of no-shows and cancellations. "We're taking a more qualified reservation," he said. He defined a qualified reservation as one that is paid in advance for two nights, with the people coming from a long distance away. He said that if people want a one night reservation they are sent to the Holiday Inn in Durham. Carl Lack, manager of the Gover nor's Inn, disagreed: "You would only hurt your business." He said hotels closer to the University might be able to impose a minimum stay on their guests because people wanted the night "We tried doing it together, but we had a hard time fitting through the doorway," Schmidt said. neurobiology, occupational therapy, pathol ogy, pharmacology, physical therapy, phy siology, rehabilitation, speech and hearing, medical school, nursing, ecology, geology, zoology, pharmacy, public health.

' Scott Stokes such a popular event, and that the Union was issuing only 750 numbers because most people would be buying the maximum ten tickets allowed. That would cover the 7,000 tickets available. "I'm going to buy 10," said Scott Stokes, a freshman from Flat Rock. "I'm going to get a bunch of people and make a party night of it. He's incredible," Stokes said. "He's hot," said Tony Collins, a senior from High Point. "I'm going to buy 10 (tickets). It's an awesome thought for him to come to Carmichael." UNC will be the only stop in North Carolina on Murphy's 23-city concert tour that begins next month. Collins said that he didn't like the ticket distribution process. When asked if it could be improved: "Yeah, they should let me go first." 'We don't feel we're asking an exhorbitant. We're just deleting our lower rates for that weekend. ' Herb Jacob convenience of being close to campus. Graduation weekend is a good time for the Governor's Inn, he said, but not so good that he could afford to impose a minimum stay. Managers of hotels with a minimum stay said that they did not feel they were taking advantage of people who have to contend between high demand for rooms and low availability. Walton said, "I think the majority of people do plan on staying a minimum of two nights." Many hotels do not charge a higher rate during graduation, but Jacob said his Holiday Inn charges $60 a night for a two person room, their highest rate. He added that it is only $K higher than the lowest normal rate, however. "Wc don't feel we're asking an exhorbitant rate. We're just deleting our lower rates for that weekend." he said. Holiday Inn has done this for 10 years, he said. Most hotels are booked up for graduation, but a few cancellations are expected. Lack said the Governor's Inn still had rooms available lor graduation weekend.
