a visiting professor at Duke from
Hebrew University in Jerusalem told an
audience of about 75 people in the
Hanes Art Center Tuesday.
Yaron Ezrahi, who earned his Ph.D.
in political science at Harvard Univer

UNC, spoke about U.S. and Israeli
relations in the seventh of eight lectures
in the Great Decisions 86 series.
Ezrahi said argruments for and
against the support of Israel centered
around three issues: strategic advan

"The capacity of the U.S. to win
allegiance of other states depends on
its credibility," he said. "Israel is one

Israel is an asset because it is
strategically located, providing a posi

Ezrahi said. Also, the Israeli army is
a powerful regional deterrent, Ezrahi
added.
"(The Israeli Army) will spare the
U.S. from using its own army," Ezrahi
said. "It can operate through proxies."
Those against U.S. support of Israel
say it alienates Arab states and dim
inishes Arab cooperation, pushing some
into the Soviet bloc, Ezrahi said.
Political support for Israel includes
popularity in domestic American polit
ics, especially in urban areas and among
urban Jews, Ezrahi said.

When people think of public recrea
tion areas in Chapel Hill, images of blue
skies, white clouds and yellow autumn
leaves come to mind. But a greenway
a strip of land designated for public
use that may cut through several
homeowners properties now that's
a horse of a different color.
Red tape is what many Chapel Hill
residents see when they think of
greenways, and that's what they told the
Chapel Hill Town Council during a
public forum Monday night.
About 30 people attended the forum,
called to solicit residents' concerns
about a proposed greenway plan
requiring developers planning to build
near natural streams to allow for a 100
foot easement along the stream to use
for public greenways.
Lands along Bolin, Booker and
Morgan creeks, Cedar Fork, Battle and
Tanyard branches parts of which are
already developed would be desig
nated for greenways.
A professional survey would deter
mine the widths of the greenways, which
range from simple footpaths to 8-foot
stips of asphalt, according to council
-members.
As part of the proposal, the town
would adopt a Feb. 1 1 Greenways Task .
Force Final Report, identifying the
lands desired, as the town's official
greenway plan.
Most of the people speaking at the
forum were residents of the Morgan
Creek area.
"I am not against greenways," Albert
R. West told the council. "But I'm
against the proposed changes. It's the
manner in which all of this came about
West said he had heard nothing of
the forum until he read a newspaper
notice Sunday. The council should not
vote on the proposed greenways plan
until more research and interaction with
area residents could be accomplished,
he said.
Ritchie Bell, director of the N.C.
Botanical Garden, said the greenways
favor support for Israel, Ezrahi said.
Supporting Israel may cost the
United States votes in the United
Nations and other international bodies,
he said. "The U.S. is increasing its own
; vulnerability and political isolation in
the world."
The moral basis for support is
solidarity for a threatened democracy
and identification with the Western
culture of Israel, Ezrahi said. Some
sympathize with Jewish aspirations for
a safe homeland after the Holocaust,
he said.
"Jews as victims do not warrant
support if they are victimizcrs and
suppress another minority," Ezrahi
said, citing the moral arguments against
support. Some also sympathize with the
displaced Palestinians, he said.
"The overall picture in the U.S. is
overwhelming support for Israel,"
Ezrahi said. "The American public

Jovita Salonga, the head of a Phi
lippine panel probing Marcos' financial
dealings, said after obtaining the
documents that there was "an unprece
dented raid on the public treasury."
Salonga, chairman of the Committee
on Good Government named by Mar
cos' successor, Corazon Aquino, also
said the documents show widespread
evidence of bribes, kickbacks "and the

plan was too vague.
"There's almost a blatant lack of
distinctiveness in regard'to the way this
has been handled, Bell said. The plan
would not allow the greenway lands to
revert back to the original owners if the
greenways were not built, he said.
"There's a big problem with consis
tancy here with what you are preparing
tonight," he said. "There needs to be
a specific indication of what the land
is to be used for. Give this matter time."
Don Francisco, a member of the
Chapel Hill Planning Board who said
he was speaking as a citizen, agreed.
"This is a means to implement a
terribly fuzzy goal," Francisco said,
adding that the council was trying to
establish a park, which state law
prohibits them from doing.
He also said the greenway concept
contradicted its goal of keeping the
greenway area as natural as possible.
"You don't preserve a habitat by having
people walk over it".
Some of the plan's proponents said
they enjoyed walking along Chapel Hill
creeks, and a greenway system would
make the experience available to
everyone.
"It seems that the issue is not so much
one of taking away rights of owners,"
Chapel Hill resident Stanley Black said.
"It's striking a balance between the
rights of owners and those who enjoy
walking in these areas."
Council member David Godschalk
said residents had been enjoying all of
Chapel Hill's natural areas in the past.
But the town's growth was making these
areas more scarce, he said, so the need
for greenways was becoming more
acute.
"We have here a desirable concept
not a complete plan," Godschalk
said. "We need to address these
concerns."
Council member Jonathan Howes
agreed, saying the Final Report should
either be generalized to be used solely
as a statement of principle or specified
so homeowners would know what
would happen to their land.
views Israel as a loyal, reliable ally."
Ezrahi said although the strategic,
political and moral arguments are valid,
he finds them inadequate. He added
that preventing a regional war from
escalating ; into a global war is the
important concern. He said the United
States should try to diffuse the conflict,
prevent military escalation and achieve
some measure of peace.
Recently in Israel, there has been a
rise of the Radical Right and a decline
in the peace movement, Ezrahi said. The
Radical Right maintains that Israelis
cannot trust allies because of historical
precedent, he said. The peace movement
has been unable to convince the Israeli
public that a peace process is feasible,
he added. .
"Israel participating in the peace
process is not a'bird in the hand',"

Salonga refused to release any of the
documents, noting that Philippine
lawyers are scrutinizing the papers.
These lawyers, he said, have advised
that the documents be kept secret.
The papers detail "an unprecedented
devastation of our nation's wealth,"
Salonga said. "With these documents
we may be able to ascertain the extent
of this unbelievable plunder."

OPEC considering cutting oil
production to stabilize prices
From Associated Press reports
GENEVA OPEC leaders, eager
to strike a deal that could stabilize
declining oil prices, appear ready to
cut their oil production without
insisting that their non-OPEC rivals
do the same.
The sentiment, emerging after two
days of talks among oil ministers
from the 13 member nations, pointed
to a retreat from an earlier OPEC
vow to defend its "fair share" of the
oil market.
If the group manages to reach
agreement on a new system of
production restraints, world oil
prices probably will rebound sharply
from the current level of about $15
a barrel, said oil analyst Bryan
Jacoboski of Paine Webber Inc., in
Geneva to observe the cartel's
Shuttle debris brought to surface;
may be part of right rocket booster
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The Navy reported Tuesday a salvage
ship had retrieved from the ocean
bottom a piece of booster rocket
wreckage that might provide a clue to
what caused the explosion of space
shuttle Challenger.
The Stena Workhorse hoisted the
500-pound, 4-by-5 foot chunk to the
surface from a depth of 650 feet, 32
miles northeast of Cape Canaveral.
Officials were not sure if the part is
from the left or right solid rocket
booster. But if it is the right booster,
it could be critical to the investigation
because it could contain the segment
joint believed to have started the
accident Jan. 28 that killed the seven
member crew.
The presidential commission investi
gating the explosion has concentrated
on a joint between the bottom two
segments of the right booster as the
most likely source of the problem.
Launch film shows a puff of smoke ,
in the joint area on lift-off and a tongue
of flame flashing from it 58 seconds
later, 15 seconds before the blowup.
Investigators believe O-ring seals
designed to prevent hot gases from
escaping through the joint may have
been at fault.

Most students visiting Florida over
spring break did a lot of partying and
suntanning, but three UNC students put
those concerns aside briefly, and
cracked a crime ring.
William M. Hull III, a junior from
Rock Hill, N.C; Stephen C. Mitchell,
a junior from Spartanburg, S.C.; and
Charles P. Shook IV, a junior and a
native of Florida, helped Fort Meyers
police apprehend two burglary suspects,
Fort Meyers Chief of Detectives Ste
phen Schwein said Tuesday.
The three Carolina students were
staying at Shook's Fort Meyers house
last Monday, preparing for a trip to
a nearby island to fish and wind surf
when the incident occurred, Hull said
Tuesday.
The students were watching television
when a neighbor burst in and told them
that her house had been ransacked and
the intruders were still in the immediate
area, Hull said.
The neighbor had surprised the
trespassers in her home and asked the
students to follow them at a distance
until the police arrived, Mitchell said.
"They made no attempt to run as we
followed them in a car," Mitchell said
Tuesday. "Charles arrived and followed;
them as we went to the expressway and .

U.S., Canada to act on add rain
WASHINGTON President
Reagan and Canadian Prime Min
ister Brian Mulroney agreed Tues
day on action to combat acid rain,
a senior U.S. official said.
The agreement means the United
States will begin to try reduce the
pollutants that cause acid rain, said
a Canadian official.
An official announcement is sche
duled Wednesday, said the U.S.
official, who refused to provide
further details.
said Tuesday, "Obviously we'd very
much like to get" the suspected booster
part.
Thompson said 4-to-5 percent of
Challenger's wreckage has been
recovered.
"That's quite a bit," he said, consid
ering how widely scattered the pieces
are. Within 30 days "I believe well get
most of the pieces we're going to get,
he said, estimating the total would
constitute about 8 percent of the shuttle.
At a NASA laboratory at Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, forensic
experts continued identifying astronaut
remains recovered from Challenger's
shattered cabin, which was located 100
feet below the Atlantic surface.
The Navy salvage ship USS Pre
server, which has been working the
cabin area, made its third trip into port
Monday night with cabin debris and
apparently more body parts.
The Preserver, as it did on its first
two port calls, arrived in darkness and
with lights off to prevent reporters and
photographers staked out on the port
channel bank from getting a good look
at what was on deck.
There were several sailors in work
clothes standing at parade rest, and
containers were taken from the ship and
loaded aboard two ambulances. IJoth

alerted that the students were following
the alleged burglars, Schwein said.
"The police intercepted the suspects
and -recovered some property that was
' ' missing front the house," he saidi ,
!'' "Hull said," "We weren't Worried for
our safety in the car, and they didn't
try to run or anything, but I'm pretty
sure they knew they were being
followed."
Charged with burglary and grand
theft were John Stewart, 19, and George
Brighindi, both of Fort Meyers,
Schwein said. One of the suspects
admitted to having burglarized nine
other homes in the area, and took police
to the houses he said he robbed,
Schwein said.
The UNC students had to make
statements at the police station, but it
is unlikely that they would have to
appear when the suspects are tried,
Mitchell said.
The students received letters of
commendation from Fort Meyers
Police Chief Jerry Spurlin thanking
them for their good citizenship, Schwein
said. The Chief also presented them
with belt buckles and hats from the
police department, he said.
"They certainly didn't have to do
this," Schwein said. "It makes us feel
good to know that students don't come
