Police make arrest in lima Levy case; food-raiser success By JENNIFER PILLA Staff Writer As 275 supporters participated in the walk-a-thon for the Tina Levy fund Sunday, 19-year-old Louie Hammond Neville waited in Palm Beach County jail after turning hinv self in to Palm Beach police Friday as the driver of the car that struck Levy last month. Neville, a fisherman from Pom pano Beach, Fla., was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving with a suspended license and reckless driving. Neville is being held on $100,000 bond. Levy, a junior from Delray Beach, Fla., has been in a coma since Jan. 4 after being critically injured in a hit-and-run accident in front of Sharkies Surf Cafe in Boca Raton, Fla. According to police reports, Levy was struck by a red or maroon Mazda RX-7 while crossing the street. Nev ille was allegedly driving the car. Police interviewed more than 100 people before arresting Neville. According to the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun-Sentinel, police fo cused their investigation on a group of students from the University of Florida at Gainesville. The father of a student at the Uni versity of Florida reported to police that he had received a letter from his son that mentioned he might know the identity of the driver. When po lice tried to contact the son, his room mate told them that another student, Cy Casoria, was at Sharkies the night of the accident and knew the identity of the passenger in the car that hit Levy.

Both had recovered, and Brandes had returned to work, said Lawrence Rosen feld, professor and acting chairman of the speech communication department. Brandes joined the UNC faculty in 1966 as an English and speech profes sor. He served as chairman of the speech division of the English department from 1 967 to 1 969. Last year, the senior class voted Brandes one of its six favorite teachers. Rosenfeld said both students and faculty would sorely miss Brandes. "I've known him eight years. He was very popular with the students, and he loved teaching them. He was a model land of Pompano Beach. When po lice contacted Clelland, his mother identified the driver as Neville. More than $9,500 was raised in Sunday's walk-a-thon, which was sponsored by Levy's sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. The sorority has raised about $16,000 for Levy's hospital expenses. Julie Asay, who organ ized the walk, said participants could continue to turn in pledges until Monday. Asay said organizers had no plans for further fund-raising events as large as the walk-a-thon but would continue to collect donations through jars placed in several Franklin Street businesses. According to Lynnette Hodge, a senior from Rurherfordton, organiz ers were pleased with the turnout at the walk. "I was ecstatic over the community's support. It gives us a lot of support to continue. It makes us feel like people really care." Levy's father, Tom Levy, said Tina's condition continued to im prove. "She'll open her eyes. She seems to be improving. We see little things every day that are encouraging." Levy also said his entire family appreciated the support that students at the University had shown. Levy said that he wanted to see the driver of the car that struck his daugh ter brought to justice but that he had no wish for revenge. "I don't even want to see this guy or know this guy because that's not gonna help Tina. I'm trying to have tunnel vision right now, just concen- See LEVY, page 2 present views food service CAMPUS? I ..... .,: ... J " - Carolina Athletic Association (CAA) positions outlined platforms and an swered questions. Lomax said the key to helping Mar riott recover and upgrade its food serv ice is consolidation. Marriott should be awarded the concessions contract to Kenan Stadium and the Smith Center and the contract to stock the Ehring haus training table, he said. 'Those are two areas where Marriott could significantly increase its market share and turn a profit. And when Marriott starts to turn a profit, students then have to become the advocate for doing away with this mandatory meal card plan." The $100 meal card requirement for on-campus students is ridiculous, and consolidation could allow Marriott to drop the policy, Lomax said. "It's something that they're mandated and the University has allowed them to do just because it assures them a certain amount of money." Hildebolt said the main problem with Marriott's food service was that the food was too expensive. Marriott has to raise its prices because it loses money See SBP, page 7 90 better to do it and regret it than C pirotf for new faculty, that research was a way of life. He was a productiv e scholar until the day he died." Rosenfeld added that Brandes worked constantly and loved his job. Brandes recently published a book on the history of Aristotle's rhetoric and was completing a biography of John Hancock. Brandes received his law degree from UNC in 1983, passed the state bar examination in 1984 and opened a law practice in Durham in 1989. He had assisted defense attorneys since the 1970s by analyzing news accounts for words that could prejudice jurors. Lee Lambert, a partner in Brandes' firm who graduated from law school with Brandes, said he was a remarkable man who "left life as he led it: compas By SUSIE KATZ Staff Writer Student Congress Finance Commit tee hearings came to a close Sunday night, ending the first round of the congress budget process. The committee met with representa tives from 32 student organizations to allocate student fees for the 1990-91 fiscal year. Six organizations sched uled to appear did not show. For more than four days the commit tee analyzed $249,4 1 5 in group requests and recommended total spending of $187,076 for the groups. The committee's funding recommen dations and the groups' revised budget requests will be presented to the full congress for final approval Feb. 24. Committee chairman Donnie Espos ito said the groups that failed to appear as scheduled at the hearings would be recommended to receive no funding at the full congress session. But they may appeal to the congress for funding at that meeting, he said. Carol Hooks, student body treas urer, said the finance hearings ended with a surplus of about $11,000 in unallocated funds that are expected to be divided among the six groups absent from the hearings if they appear at the full congress. At the full congress session, repre sentatives of every organization that asked for funds and congress members will be asked if they are satisfied with the amount of money allocated to the group, Hooks said. If either is dissatis fied, there will be a debate until a mu tually agreeable amount is reached, she said. While most of the groups received less than they originally asked for, some groups received substantial cuts. Student Television (STV) Business Manager Doug Holmes said the station should be able to manage even though the STV request was cut from $3 1,000 to $18,886. "I think it will be enough. There were a couple of categories where they DTH editor candidates define By KENNY MONTEITH Staff Writer Candidates for co-editors of The Daily Tar Heel (DTH) debated issues concerning changes and additions to the DTH and explained their platforms at a forum Monday night in Morrison Residence Hall. The team of Mary Jo Dunnington and William Taggart said they were basing their campaign on experience and vision. "We think our experience helps us in many ways. We know what it's like to run a daily newspaper. We've been in positions of leadership in the past, and we know what it's like to meet dead lines, to get the paper out and to make things run smoothly in the office," Taggart said. Their experience has enabled them to make contacts in the University community, both with groups such as the Board of Trustees and with campus groups such as the Black Student Movement and ihe Carolina Athletic Association, he said. Dunnington said that she and Tag gart understood that sometimes the DTH misses stories, but that they would use beat reporters and check accuracy more effectively. "We really want to make a serious effort to reach out to different groups on campus, such as The Black Student Movement, and try to work out ways that we can cover these beats better," she said. Dunnington and Taggart said they e(Q)r sionate, combative and controversial." David Gould, Brandes' graduate assistant last year, said that he had learned much from Brandes, and that his death was a loss for his family, students and the community. Gould said Brandes' Honors 32 class, "Philosophy and ethics of professional communication," was one of his great est achievements because it brought pre-law and pre-medicine students together. "He would want to be remem bered for his ability to bring the medi cal and law fields together in the healthy atmosphere of the classroom. He wanted these people to see the other side and work together." Gould added Brandes was a profes sor of the "'old school,' like Plato and Rousseau. He had a thorough under sennit to fuDD comisre cut a lot off, in things like production accessories (props), but we'll be able to handle it. I think overall, it was pretty fair." The station joined Cable Vision Industries of Orange County, which increased the requirements of the pro gram manager's job, Holmes said. This, in addition to the increase in the mini mum wage, made it necessary to in crease the amount needed to pay the program manager, he said. STV will also hire another person next year to share the duties of program manager, Holmes said. "Next year we have to hire another person, so we had to more than double (the program manager budget)." Another organization that was allo cated less than it had hoped for was the Undergraduate Music Students' Forum. President Merritt Raum said that last year, the group asked for $200 and received $74. This year, they asked for $882 and received only $60, she said. The additional funding was requested to help expand the group's programs to include more receptions after orchestra and band concerts, Raum said. "We were really disappointed, be cause we feel that small groups should be recognized, too. It seems ridiculous that the people giving free concerts should have to pay for the advertising. "Hopefully, before the full congress, we'll be able to appeal for more." The budget process is long and in volved. Each organization requesting funds submits a budget with separate pages for its administrative budget, programming budget, etc.. Hooks said. The finance committee goes through the proposal page by page, deciding if the amounts requested are reasonable. If an organization finds it needs more money during the coming fiscal year, it can come back and ask the congress for subsequent appropriation. Hooks said. Money to cover the subsequent appro priations comes from the present sur- vYr K 7 t i DTH editor candidates M P U S ) n also had a new vision for the job of managing editor.

Brandes graduated with high dis tinction from Eastern Kentucky Uni versity in 1942 with a major in English and minors in history, music and edu cation. He received his doctoral and master's degree from the University of Wisconsin. He taught at Ohio University, the University of Mississippi and the Uni versity of Southern Mississippi before coming to UNC. Surviving Brandes are his wife, a daughter, Sarah Madry, and grand daughter, Adrienne, both of Kendall Park, N.J. Funeral arrangements were unavail able at press time.
