Police investigate case of assault during C-TOPS
By ALISA DeMAO
Staff Writer
University police are continuing an
investigation into the assault of a female
incoming-freshman participant of the
Carolina Testing and Orientation Pro
gram Session (C-TOPS). The incident
occurred outside of Joyner Residence
Hall June 1 4, a spokesman said Monday.
Detectives continue to work on the
case, although with no evidence or
physical description of the assailant,
they have little to go on, said Lt. Marcus
Perry.
The woman, who was not injured in
the attack, was grabbed from behind by
an unknown, unarmed person who tried
to force her to the ground, according to
police records. The incident report also

OXFORD, N.C. For the second
time in as many days Tar Heel residents
clasped arms to repel the state's efforts
to site a hazardous waste incinerator in
their area.
Several hundred protesters linked
arms and blocked driveways with cars
and tractors Tuesday, preventing engi
neers from studying the proposed hazardous-waste
incinerator site in
Granville County.
The non-violent confrontation was
in many ways a repeat of one which
occured Monday at the other site on the
Rowan-Iredell county line. No arrests
were reported at either site.
The protest got a legal boost Tuesday
afternoon, when District Judge Charles
Wilkinson Jr. signed a temporary re
straining order to keep the N.C. Haz
ardous Waste Management Commis
sion and its consultants off seven parcels
of land on the incinerator site.
The restraining order holds until July
5 at 2:30 p.m., when a hearing will be
held on the landowners' request for a
preliminary injunction against the
commission.
Surveys and soil samples are needed
by the end of July to help the commis
sion decide whether to locate the facil
ity in Granville or Rowan and Iredell
counties. The complex will handle and

said the victim could not identify the
assailant and there was no evidence at
the site.
"Everything we've got is in the in
cident report," Perry said. "It is under
investigation ... We're just trying to
find things to go on. The detectives
have their own procedures for that. We
haven't dropped it."
Dean Shirley M. Hunter, director of
orientation, said this was the first time
such an incident has occurred during C
TOPS. "At least, I've not been made aware
of it," she said. "No student has ever
said anything happened to them while
they were here ... We've been having
people here a C-TOPS since 1985."
Perry agreed. "As far as I can re

Up to 400 protesters gathered along
the roads surrounding the Granville site
as early as 6 a.m. Tuesday. They blocked
every farm path and driveway with cars,
pickup trucks and even a road grader,
and waited through the early afternoon
heat for the rumored arrival of a crew
from ThermalKEM, the company hired
to build and run the incinerator.
The crew arrived shortly after 2 p.m.,
stopping at a dirt road leading onto the
site from Belltown Road where a dozen
protesters refused to let them pass.
"We stand on private property that
you don't have a right to enter," a man
said told engineer Carl Brassow and
David Roy Black well from the state
attorney general's office.
The scene was repeated at five en
trances and an open field. After each the
surveyors drove to the next point, their
cars leading a crazy caravan of jour
nalists and protesters who hopped into
pickup trucks and rode ahead to jump in
front of the engineers again.
"We have turned them back one

microphone to fellow members of the
Granville Non-Violent Action Team as
the surveyors left the area at 2:45 p.m.,
escorted by 20 state troopers and eight

The woman was assaulted when she
walked from Cobb Residence Hall to
Joyner to get some change to make a
phone call. She was walking alone and
was attacked between the residence hall
and the tennis courts. The assailant fled
when the woman screamed loudly,
Hunter said.
"She didn't see the individual," she
said. "She was not able to provide any
physical description whatsoever."
Hunter said she thinks the assailant
saw the woman's jewelry and wanted to
rob her. "I feel like it was someone who
didn't know the campus very well or
what was going on, not a student who

By late Tuesday, neither the waste
commission nor the state Attorney
General's office, which represents the
panel, had come up with a plan to force
protesters to allow the tests in Granville,
said Marge Howell, the commission's
spokesman.
"We have to step back and decide
what's next," she said.
Wilkinson granted the restraining
order in connection with seven lawsuits
filed Tuesday afternoon by landowners
who say they have not received the
required 30-day statutory notice of the
commission's intent to enter the land.
"We're not asking for money," said
John Pike, who as board chairman for
Jonesland Environmental Park Inc. is
named as a plaintiff in one suit.
"If they simply acknowledge they
haven't given adequate notice and go
back and give it, then they can go on the
land," Pike said.
However that may require notifying
almost 8,000 share-holders of 48 acres
in the heart of the 580-acre tract under
study, he said.
A judge hearing the county's lawsuit
granted an injunction against the state
commission on June 19. The state ap
peals court temporarily lifted the in
junction two days later and is expected
to rule by Monday whether to perma-
nentiy stay the injunction.

Revamped
ordinance
By CAMERON TEW
Assistant editor
Chapel Hill Town Council members
approved amendments to the town's
existing noise ordinance Monday night,
but expect more discussion concerning
the issue later in the summer.
Chapel Hill Town Council member
Joe Herzenberg said the amendments
were only "a partial noise ordinance,"
and the noise ordinance committee still
had a lot of work to do.
"It is not the whole thing. It deals
with everything but the most basic
problem the complaint of rock mu
sic," he said.
Herzenberg said the committee
agreed unanimously on the material the
council adopted, but tough decisions
still need to be made concerning decibel
levels and the hours and days permits
would be issued.
Under the current ordinance, the
maximum sound level is 70 decibels.
Permits for 75 decibels can be obtained
only for events which end before mid
night on Thursdays, Fridays and Sat
urdays. The committee has a good represen
tation of students, faculty and town
residents, Herzenberg said, but members
decided not to resolve the larger noise
issues over the summer because most
students were out of town and could not
present their concerns.
While the main noise issues have
Horton selected as
new town manager
By CAMERON TEW
Assistant editor
Chapel Hill Mayor Jonathan Howes
announced Monday night that the to wn 's
six-month search for a town manager
was finally over, and the winner had
been right under the Chapel Hill Town
Council's nose.
Cal Horton, the town's public safety
director for the past year, was chosen as
the new manager after town council
members spent two hours in an execu
tive session reviewing applicants before
the scheduled town council meeting.
'The council feels very proud of this
appointment," Howes said. "We went
through a very careful screening and
nothing was pre-judged."
Horton was one of three finalists for
the position, which was vacated by
former town manager David Taylor,
who resigned on Jan. 1 to become the
president of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce.
More than 100 people applied for
the post during a national search this
spring. The town council narrowed the
list to eight semi-finalists at the begin
ning of the month, and the three final ists
were selected after council member
reviewed videotaped interviews of the
applicants.
Council member Joe Herzenberg said
Horton was an excellent selection for
the position and would do a fine job.
"He has a fine grasp of the functions to
the town council, and he has a good feel
of what Chapel Hill residents want," he
said.
Howes said during his announcement
Tuesday night that Horton had the
characteristics the council was looking
for in a manager: strong leadership, the
ability to oversee the staff and the abil
ity to work with council members and
residents. Howes noted that Horton was
the council's unanimous selection.
Horton called his appointment a great
opportunity and thanked the mayor and
town council for selecting him in a short
address after Howes' announcement.
He also praised interim town manager
Sonna Loewenthal for her work during
the past six months. "I feel a great sense

handle questions," said Gret Diffendal,
orientation leader coordinator. "Would
we initiate the conversation or wait for
them to? Basically we talked about the
fact that we needed to not gloss over the
fact that it happened. We were just
really honest about it."
Parents asked questions about the
incident during parents' programs, and
students did the same during the ABC's
of Dating program, Diffendal said.

Employees' pay
held till Monday
By CHIP SUDDERTH
Staff Writer
Approximately 11,550 University
employees will have their paychecks
delayed over the weekend June 29 to
July 2 in an effort to balance the state
budget.
The check-delay plan was announced
in a May 3 1 memo, which included a
May 24 letter from Gov. Jim Martin.
The letter read, in part, "...I know it (the
decision to delay) may be inconvenient,
even painful for some, but it was the
least inconvenient, the least painful one
I could make under these difficult cir
cumstances." The state must cope with a budget
shortfall of half a billion dollars for the
current fiscal year, and $336 million for
the 1990-91 fiscal year.
The pay delay does not affect em
ployees of UNC Hospitals. "We're on a
different pay-period schedule." said
John Ross, a UNC Hospitals spokesman.
