Summit plans o net ffffM&ls to meet By HELEN E COOPER Staff Writer Nothing remains of the seven tin and wood structures or the chicken wire wall put up by students to protest apartheid, communism and protests themselves. . The quad in front of South Building is back to normal. The destruction of the shanties came early Monday morning following a deadline set by UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III for their removal. Group members said they would not leave the shanties until a decision was made on divestment by the University Endowment Board Friday. The board voted to postpone making a decision and members of the Anti-Apartheid Support Group have vowed to continue to promote apartheid awareness on campus. "We dont want people to think the shanties are an end," said group member Eric V. Walker. "We want to use them for bigger and better means." Other group members said they were disap pointed that the shanties had to come down. "There was a sense of loss ... a sense of frustration," said group member Keith Griffler. "Our right to express our views and educate people was taken away from us." Five group members were arrested Monday morning after they refused to leave the last standing shanty. They were released from the Chapel Hill police department about an hour later without being charged. . A UNC professor said that although he supported divestment and the shanties, he thought the grpup went too far with their refusal to tear down the shanties themselves. "The original building of the shanties dramatized (the situation in South Africa)," said Henry Landsberger, an associate professor of sociology. "Once the point had been made, they should have gone ahead and removed it before being torn down." Landsberger took part in writing the UNC Faculty Council resolution calling for University divestment from companies doing "direct and substantial" business in South Africa. The resolution was adopted by the board in February. Group members and Landsberger agreed that the board should have made a decision on whether to sell the University's $8.8 million in companies that do business in South Africa. "We feel that they've (the endowment board) put us on hold so they can deliver the bomb on us at a later time," Walker said, adding that the board was postponing the decision to a time when they would not receive any furor over their actions. toWe are, in effect, handcuffed," Walker said. "They're looking for a way to let us down." Griffler said he felt the board was not responsive to the students' opinions. "They (board members) have pretty much set views," Griffler said. "They weren't really listening to us . . . (just) appeasing us." Walker said the group was making plans to continue with their pleas for divestiture. The time for education was over but the time to act was beginning, he said. Group member Ahmad Golchin said the group was considering activities such as teach-ins, a candlelight vigil, faculty education sessions with students and community task forces to educate the public. From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON Secretary of State George Shultz said Tuesday he will meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevard nadze next month to lay the groundwork for a second summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Arrangements for the Shultz-Shevardnadze meeting were made during a 75-minute session between Reagan and Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. Shevardnadze will visit Washington in mid May, but Shultz did not say whether that would allow the two sides enough time to prepare for a summit within the pre-August timetable set by Reagan. Shultz said Dobrynin made it clear the Soviet side would not establish any precon ditions for the meeting, but he said both sides expressed an interest in "substantive" results. The arrangements for the Shultz Shevardnadze meeting were made as the United States was preparing an underground nuclear explosion at a Nevada test site despite a Soviet warning that it would lead to an end to a unilateral Soviet moratorium on such testing. But the U.S. test had been delayed, an Energy Department official said without giving a reason. The official, insisting on anonymity, would not say whether the test had been rescheduled. White House spokesman Larry Speakes refused to discuss reasons for the test postponement except to say it was unrelated to U.S.-Soviet relations or planning for a summit. Another official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the test had been post poned for "technical reasons." Dobrynin was recently elevated to the Communist Party Central Committee, and his visit to the Oval Office was in the form of a farewell call. Shultz said the meeting was "very substantive and constructive and advanced matters." He said Dobrynin brought a letter to Reagan from Gorbachev. The Reagan administration has been pressing for a summit in either June or July in the United States as a follow-up to the Reagan-Gorbachev meeting last November in Geneva. But the administration has accused Mos cow of dragging its feet in making the arrangements, raising doubts as to whether the president's timetable can be met. As an alternative, administration officials have indicated that if Reagan's preferred time frame cannot be met, this summit may have to be put off until November or later. Asked about the prospects for concrete agreements at the summit, Shultz said, "When you have a meeting of the president and the general secretary, each one expects that ... the important questions that are at issue are going to get addressed." ; - : House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair man Dante Fascell, D-Fla., and William Broomfield, R-Mich., met with Gorbachev for nearly three hours last week, and Broomfield on Monday described the Soviet leader as very friendly and willing to talk. He said Gorbachev readily discussed issues dividing the two nations and was willing to talk about his country's internal problems, but that he warned the congressmen not to "underestimate them on the question of military (force). Theyll do whatever they have to." Pre-re wtatiQm Mil off ered By JACKIE LEACH Staff Writer Officials in the University Registrars office in Hanes Hall say there may be a ray of hope for those upperclassmen who did not turn in their pre-registration forms on time. The registration office will continue to receive forms through Friday from upperclassmen during General College pre-registration. How ever, those students who turn in their forms late will lose priority on the classes that they wish to take. "WeVe had quite a few students to come in late," said Joan Ward, a supervisor in the registrar's office. "Because we could not accommmodate them, we had to turn a number of students away on Monday. But, we allowed them to turn in forms on Tuesday so that they would not lose priority," she said. "I think students have been very cooperative about getting their registrations in this time," said Helen Wilson, student services manager for the College of Arts and Sciences. Wilson said that the division had a number of students who did not see their advisers until Monday. However she said that most students were able to get their forms in on time. "We did have a few students to notify us and tell us that they were going to be late turning in their pre-registration forms . . . some who returned late from the weekend, but the number who have done this is basically the same as in previous semesters," Wilson said. l- Wilson said that those, students who Jail to pre-jregistcFmust go through a risky process to get classes in the fall. When the drop-add period begins those students must get a permit to register form from their adviser, then go through drop add in Woollen Gym to pick up classes. Sophomore James Carter said that registering -during the drop-add period is a risk he was not willing to take. The sophomore economics major from Lincplnton said that he almost did not preregister this spring. "I was going to blow it all off," he said, "but some friends told me to go ahead and pre-register late to avoid the hassle in the fall." iRaroe aware epdipg Sexual deviance worsened into violence, convicted rapist says Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series written in conjunction with "Confronting Rape: A Week of. Awareness and Education. " By DENISE SMITHERMAN Features Editor He peered through a sliding glass door. It was nighttime and the woman who lay drunk on her couch failed to notice the Peeping Tom who prowled outside the entrance to her home. Michael Brooks of High Point was gazing through the glass just as he had done many other times during late night excursions. But this night was different. Brooks wrapped a piece of clothing around his head, entered the room and raped the unsuspecting woman inside. "I'm standing there trying to fight the urge, but I reached for the sliding glass door, and it opened," Brooks said. "... A little voice in my head said go ahead and do it." The incident occured after Brooks returned home from a bowling tour nament in Tennessee. He had been roaming a "hot spot," an area, often an apartment complex, that Brooks designated as a good place to peep. "1 know that I'm going to see something when I go to that area," he said. But this particular Peeping Tomism involved more than gazing at a woman through a window. The sexual deviance had progressed to rape. Brooks has . been incarcerated at Southern Correctional Center in Troy since 1983. He pleaded guilty to three charges of rape and five charges of first-degree burglary and received life in prison plus 60 years. He will be eligible for parole in November 2003. When officials agreed not to charge Brooks with additional crimes while in prison, the 3 1 -year-old later said he committed 100 burglaries, 25 attempted rapes and 12 rapes, two of which involved the same woman. Brooks, who claims to be a born again Christian, said that "the dark side of the universe which is Satan" urged him to act. "It's hard to put in words, but there's a force that brings you in," he said. Brooks said he actually hugged the woman after the first rape and said, " 'I'm sorry, I didnt mean to do it.' " He experienced nausea during the week but later "got over it," he said. Brooks tied one woman with rope, describing it as "just one of those goofy things." He said he forced another woman at gunpoint to have oral sex with her husband while he raped her. Brooks wore a ski mask and gloves, carried a .357-caliber Magnum during his attacks and saved clippings from newspaper reports. "I thank God I didnt kill anyone," Brooks said. "If 1 ever pulled ihe trigger, you'd be looking at the world's biggest mass murderer." One woman who walked past a Thomasville school unknowingly avoided Brooks. He planned to attack the woman when she approached a nearby road, where he awaited in his car. "The girl didn't know how close to getting raped she actually did," Brooks said. Brooks began Peeping Tomism when he was 14 years old. After peers initially encouraged him, he said that traipsing through yards to view into homes developed into a challenge and habit. "You know how children are," he said. "They just push you into it. It just stuck with me." When serving in the army in Korea, Brooks' neighborhood rounds stopped, only to resurface upon his return to the states in 1973. He said he would instigate "arguments with his wife so he could angrily storm out of :sy- V, s.mm- StS. my itDns Mock trial examines date rape: She says forced, he says willing Editor's note: The following story never dated.

Date or Rape?" held Tuesday night at Great Hall as part of Rape Awareness Week. The case is not based on a particular incident. By MIKE GUNZENHAUSER Staff Writer An Orange County jury deliberated about 15 minutes Tuesday without reaching a verdict in the first-degree rape trial of UNC senior Jim Roe. Roe, president of Beta Kappa fraternity, was arrested in November for the first-degree rape of UNC sophomore Louise Doe. Doe testified that Roe raped her at the apartment of one of Roe's fraternity brothers after they had gone to dinner at the Hotel Europa. Semen consistent with Roe's semen was found in Doe's vagina, according to medical testimony. Also, marks and redness were found on her vagina, and bruises were found on her wrists. Medical experts testified that the marks could have been the result of fo.ee or could have been self-inflicted. In his closing argument, prosecutor Lee Lambert asked the jury to con sider Doe's emotional testimony. "Even as we speak, Louise is testify ing," he said, as Doe sat sobbing in the courtroom. "Mr. Perfect (Roe) goes home, goes to bed, and doesn't care," Lambert said. J. Kirk Osborn, defense attorney, said in his closing argument that Roe should be acquitted because Doe consented to having sex with Roe. "What you have here is a girl who refuses to take responsibility for her actions," Osborn said. . "She indicated in no way to him that she was suspicious," Osborn said. In her testimony, Doe said she had met Roe twice before, but they had never dated. Roe testified that they had been on a lunch date and a dinner date. When they left the Hotel Europa, Doe said, Roe told her that they would meet a friend of his at his apartment. At that point, Doe testified, "I wasnt afraid, but I was reluctant. Nobody was there, and I didnt feel like I had any say-so." At the apartment, Doe said, Roe pulled her to the floor, and she agreed to "fool around" but not have sex. She tried to fight him, she said, but he pulled up her skirt, pulled down her panties and raped her. "He pinned me down with his body," she said. "I was hitting his back, I was hitting his head." "When he was through, he just laid on top of me and breathed really hard, like an animal," she said. After Roe drove her home, Doe said she showered and went to bed, but cried all night and was unable to sleep. The next morning, her roommate convinced her to call the Orange County Rape Crisis Center, she said. Roe testified that Doe initiated sex with him after they arrived at the apartment. Both removed all their clothes, had sex and showered before he drove her home, Roe said. If found guilty of first-degree rape, Roe would face a manditory sentence of life inprisonment. Judge Dorothy Bernholz told the 5-man, 5-woman jury, all UNC students, that four conditions must be proven for a guilty verdict for first-degree rape. The jury must find proof that there was vaginal entry, that sex was against Doe's will, that Roe used force sufficient to overcome resistance, and that Doe suffered serious mental or physical injury, Bernholz said. The jury could also find Roe guilty of second-degree rape or assault of a female, she said. You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong Ralph Emerson
