Derrick Fenner, a rising junior
football player at North Carolina,
was indicted Tuesday by a Prince
George's County grand jury in
Upper Marlboro, Md., on murder
and five other charges connected
to a killing police believe was part
of a drug "turf war."
The grand jury charged Fenner
with murder, two counts of use
of a handgun, attempted first
degree murder, assault with
attempt to disable and malicious
shooting in connection with the
death of Marcellus Leach.

Fenner, 20, also was indicted
Tuesday on charges of transport

cocaine. Those charges stem from
an arrest on April 9, when police
found a revolver and 25 vials of
a white powdery substance in a

eesiuiire -off goals

After UNCs joint committee on
apartheid met for the first time last
Thursday, some committee
members remained uncertain of
the committee's goals and doubt
ful of its effectiveness.
S. Bobo Tanner, chairman of
UNCs Board of Trustees,
announced the names of the 13
committee members June 24. The
committee is charged with discuss
ing apartheid and divestiture of
financial interests in companies
doing business in South Africa.
Tanner said the committee's
goals are still unclear.
"It's difficult to say at this point
what the committee will do," he
said. "It depends on the people
involved."
Tanner appointed William Dar
ity, dean of the School of Health
Sciences at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst; Bar
bara Perry, a Kinston attorney;
and Earl Phillips, a High Point
businessman, as Trustee represen
tatives to the committee.
Tanner named himself chair
man of the committee.
Chancellor Christopher Ford
ham chose Samuel Williamson,
University provost; Harold Wal
lace, vice chancellor for University
affairs; and Kenneth Broun, dea
The Orange County Women's
Center, a nonprofit organization,
offers counseling as well as work
shops covering money manage
ment, home repair, tax prepara
tion and changing careers.
According to Coolie Monroe, a
member of the Women's Center
Board of Directors, the house on
Henderson Street is ideal for the
center.
"We feel that the residential
character of a house is very
important for the kind of work
we're trying to do," Monroe said.
However, residents are fearful
of the "domino effect" that the
rezoning would lead to more
offices and businesses invading
their neighborhood and driving
residents out.
"(The center) threatens the
residential stability of the neigh
borhood," said Lightning Brown,
a Cobb Terrace resident. Brown
said the center's presence in the
neighborhood would possibly
encourage the proliferation of
other office buildings in the area.
Monroe said fears of the
y.dominp, jeffecjt arey unfounded,
of the School of Law, as admi
nistrative representatives.
Faculty Chairman George
Kennedy's choices for faculty
representatives were Anne Dun
bar, professor of Afro-American
studies; Caroline Bruckel, assoa
ciate professor of law; and Richard
McEnally, professor of business
administration.
Tanner said he would like to see
more student involvement in the
committee.
"I was very disappointed that we
had almost no student input
(because) the people who have
been the most vocal about (div
estment) have been the students,"
he said.
Student Body President Brian
Bailey chose himself and Dale
McKinley, a graduate student
from Zimbabwe, as student repre
sentatives to the committee.
McKinley said he was disap
pointed that Bailey hadn't chosen
a third student to sit on the
committee. Bailey said that he
plans to name a third student
representative by next week.
McKinley said the committee's
first meeting was basically a
question-and-answer session with
both sides airing their viewpoints.
McKinley said Broun spoke out

"The purpose (of the special-use
permit) is to allow some flexibility
in town government," she said.
"We have been assured that the
town government would not go
around using this ordinance to
destroy neighborhoods."
Kathryn Cheape, another Cobb
Terrace resident, said residents
were also concerned that the center
would cause traffic and parking
problems on the street. "There
aren't enough parking spaces for
