The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 14, 19913 v (BARMS and OW to retrict coachimg comte BOG decide (CCS1 Blilllljlrg Post office weathers close call with 'bomb' Postal workers received quite a fright Saturday morning when a mysterious package in the U.S. Post Office at Timberlyne Shopping Center began vibrating and emitting strange noises, according to published reports. The post office and several area stores were evacuated as a bomb squad from Ft. Bragg and investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation were called in. The package came to the attention of postal workers around 7:45 a.m., and the post office was evacuated immedi ately. According to police reports, the addressee of the package was contacted, and police were informed that it con tained an electric razor. Apparently, the razor was activated in transit, police said. APS releases tips for protecting pets The Animal Protection Society of Orange County has special instructions for pet care during the winter months: B Protect the water supply. When the outside temperature drops below freezing, pets can be right up the creek. During winter, water should not be served in a metal container. Plastic containers should be used to prevent injuries to pets' tender tongues. B Before starting cars or trucks, mo torists should check their vehicles for pets. Driven to shelter by the cold, pets are frequently attracted to warm car engines and crawl up under the hood. B If pets are outside during the cold winter weather, they need adequate shelter. The shelter should be relatively small only a foot longer and three inches higher than the pet's body to allow the animal to warm itself from its own body heat, and it should be sup ported three inches or more above the ground. But a much better way for pet owners to protect their animal friends is to provide indoor warmth and comfort for their pets. B When the cold hits, pets need more food. This can be overdone, so pet owners need to study the best possible diet for their pets (ask a veterinarian or consult a book). In winter,, however, a pet will need about 30 pCTcent' more ' energy, and the source of this energy buildup is the food the pet takes. If the food supply runs short, susceptibility to winter ills increases. Program to quit smoking scheduled The Orange County unit of the American Cancer Society is sponsoring "FreshStart," a quit-smoking program to be held at the unit office, 87 S.

By MATTHEW EISLEY Assistant University Editor The UNC-system Board of Gover nors voted Friday to limit the perks athletic coaches can receive from state colleges and universities and outside companies. Coaches incomes at UNC-CH al ready are subject to similar restrictions, Chancellor Paul Hardin said. The BOG adopted four recommen dations from a special committee that will: B Limit contract buyout clauses to the amount of university salary the coach would have been paid had he still been employed, Prohibit roll-over arrangements B Prohibit roll-over arrangements committees. - fmm f fP m $ J ri f c : Card t(r)ix Freshmen Suzanne Gruninger from Plymouth, Minn., Elizabeth Biedenbach from Jacksonville and Jennifer UNG - for LBmberton shootin By BILLY ST0CKARD Stan Writer A Morehead Scholar and former Carolina Indian Circle president accused of killing an intruder in his girlfriend's home Aug. 20 will be brought to trial in February or March, his lawyer said Friday. James Cedric Woods, who has been charged with second-degree murder, is pleading innocent to the charges, said Don Bullard, his lawyer. "He is innocent, we believe him to be innocent and we believe that the jury will return with a verdict of innocent," Bullard said. If Woods is convicted, he could face the maximum sentence of 50 years in prison, Bullard said. "But we don't anticipate him spending any time in jail." Woods, a Pembroke resident and UNC senior, was visiting his girlfriend, Victoria Oxendine, at her home in Lumberton when 27-year-old Gene Berry Clark broke into the house. Woods has admitted to shooting Clark. "They were in a bedroom when he broke in and they retreated to a bathroom when he got in the house," said Albeit Carroll, chief of the Lumberton Police More recycling locations By SCOTT MAXWELL Staff Writer New on-campus recycling sites were added recently in the continuing effort to keep UNC one of the best recycling campuses in the state. According to junior Bonny Moellenbrock, a leader in Tar Heel Aluminum Recycling Program (TARP), a student organization affiliated with Campus Y, many of the recycling bins constantly overflowed last semester. That was one of the main reasons that the group decided to rearrange the ex isting bins, add more and change the times when they would be emptied, she said. "We wanted to cover areas we hadn't covered before," Moellenbrock said. She said they had noticed the bins near the residence halls filled more frequently than others. Everett, Hinton James and Morrison are three of the residence halls that have had exceptional responses to the recy cling efforts, although all the residence halls seem to be making good contri butions, Moellenbrock said. Rhonda Sherman-Huntoon is the appointed recycling coordinator at UNC, the first state university to develop such a paid position in 1988, although other universities have created similar offices since that time. which automatically extend a coach's contract before it expires. Five-year roll over contracts are common. B Require coaches to promote the academic success of their teams, with emphasis on the academic goals outlined by the NCAA as grounds for firing. B Require coaches to obtain their chancellor's approval before signing endorsements or other outside contracts. The BOG's action was prompted by public outcry over contract buyouts of UNC-CH football coach Dick Crum and N.C. State basketball coach Jim Valvano. The recommendations were the product of a year's work by the BOG's personnel and governance committees. Miv Department. Clark was shot eight times, accord ing to the autopsy report. Clark and Oxendine knew each other, and police do not believe Clark was breaking into the house in an attempt to rob it, Carroll said. Woods could not be reached for comment. Bullard declined to comment on any speculation of a relationship between Clark and Oxendine. "What the man had in mind when he dove through that window, I don't know. What he picked up or stole, as far as burglary, I don't know," Bullard said. Clark was released from prison in April after serving almost 10 years for assault, breaking and entering, and lar ceny. Woods was arraigned Dec. 13. Chris Raines, Carolina Indian Circle president, said Woods resigned as president of the organization in Sep tember 1990 because of the incident. "He does still work with us," Raines said. "I'm now the Indian Circle presi dent. He's helped me make the transi tion. He's still functioning with us in an advisory manner." Alvis Dunn, a graduate student in the Sherman-Huntoon said there was still room for improvement at some residence halls, such as Craige and Carmichael. However, the majority of the improve ment needs to be made at the sites that aren't next to the residence halls. The sites near the School of Public Health and Sitterson Hall have been surprising disappointments, Sherman Huntoon said. "We hope to have im provement at those sites." Carolina Recycles, the program Sherman-Huntoon spearheads with the cooperation of TARP, now has 30 mo bile drop-off sites for recycling and is experimenting with permanent sites at Hinton James and Ehringhaus. Both Sherman-Huntoon and Moellenbrock said they were pleased with the efforts being made around campus. "In light of the budget crisis," Sherman-Huntoon said, "we are doing a remarkable job. We hope to increase cardboard recycling and to implement plastic recycling." One of the problems Carolina Re cycles encounters is theft of aluminum cans from the outdoor sites. Sherman Huntoon said she thought the alumi num was probably still being recycled by people who turn in the cans for cash, but that affects University revenues. Carolina Recycles offers a number "... eventually you will see that all of the coaches9 income will be channeled through the universities. " UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin BOG members said the measures would give university administrators and trustees more control over coaches, some of whom earn more in salary and outside contracts than the highest-paid chancellors. Hardin said that at UNC-CH coach ing contracts already limit buyout clauses to the salary that would have DTHBrian Jones Talhelm from Okemos, Mich., play cards while camp ing out for tickets outside the Smith Center Saturday. ' - ""v history department who has studied Robeson County, said the ethnic diver sity and complex legal system of Robeson County might make it more difficult for Woods to get a fair trial. The area is known for strong racial tension. 'The population of Robeson County is divided into one-third black, one third Indian and one-third white," Dunn said. "There are a lot more intricacies (in Robeson County). There are a lot of fishy things about the legal system in Robeson County. In a lot of ways you've got apartheid in Robeson County." The trial could attract attention sim ply because of the legal system in the county, he said. 'Things could happen in Robeson County that you wouldn 't believe would happen," Dunn said. "The only way to keep them from happening is to let people know." Barry Nakell, a University law school professor, said that for a trial to be moved out of a county, the defendant must request that it be moved. "If he does go to trial, the jury is taken from community," Nakell said. "The juries contain a cross-section of the community." e incident added to meet overflowing response of suggestions for students to help with their recycling efforts: BAH newspaper is recyclable, re gardless of the colors printed on it. The inserts can be included. It should be dry, however, and magazines should not be left at newspaper recycling sites. O Glass should be washed out and separated into the different colors of green, brown and clear before being placed in the bins. Lids should be re moved, and window glass, mirrors, glass dishes and light bulbs are excluded. D All aluminum beer and soda cans should be washed out and taken to drop off sites, but aluminum foil and other types of metal cans cannot be recycled. n Cardboard should be cleaned and flattened and should be limited to corru gated types for recycling. B Buy recycled products. The Carolina Recycles program also offers services to clean up after events that generate many recyclable prod ucts, such as office clean-ups and par ties. Organizations must call the recy cling office at least a week in advance. The recycling office also provides speakers and presentations about recy cling. Sherman-Huntoon said there would be 700 more mobile drop calendar been earned if the coach had stayed, that "roll-over" contracts were not used and that athletic graduation rates virtually matched the overall graduation rate at the University, which is between 70 percent and 75 percent. "We make it clear in our contracts that coaches must be supportive of the academic enterprise and work toward Patient ffles lawsiii against false dfoctei By BRIAN G0LS0N Stan Writer A former patient of Lee Shoemate, who was accused of forging documents to become a psychiatric resident at UNC Hospitals, has filed a suit against him requesting compensation in excess of $10,000 for professional negligence. Ruby Staton filed the suit against Shoemate, claiming he misdiagnosed her in 1989 with severe depression when she actually had Crohn's disease, an ulcerative condition of the large and small bowels. She was committed for psychiatric treatment at UNC Hospitals for almost two months. When the actual illness was discovered, part of Staton's small intestine was removed in an emergency operation. Staton and her lawyer, Donald Hunt of Raleigh, could not be reached for comment. Last week, an Orange County Grand Jury rejected an indictment against Shoemate. Orange-Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox presented a case to the Grand Jury accusing Shoemate of obtaining nearly $30,000 of state pay under false pretenses by presenting himself as an accredited medical school graduate. "I was surprised he was not indicted," Fox said. "I have my suspicions why and will explain that next week when I . Hesaid. He said, however, the U.S. Congress endorsement Saturday of military action could be damaging to Perez deCuellar's peace efforts. In a message read Sunday over state Baghdad radio, the Iraqi leader rejected the appeal from Syria's Assad. "Our 19th province has become a battlefield for the showdown in which the (Arab) nation will be triumphant," Saddam said in the broadcast. He urged Syria, which has commit ted nearly 20,000 troops to the 600,000 strong allied force, to switch sides and join with Iraq. "It will be an event which will be recorded in history if President Hafez Assad joins the group of the faithful and reacts with them so that the group will be more powerful," he said. Syria and Iraq are ruled by rival wings of the Arab Baath Socialist Party, and Assad and Saddam are sworn enemies. Saddam has summoned the National Assembly to an emergency session Monday. The reason for the session was not disclosed, but Saddam has used the parliament in the past to validate con cessions during the crisis. Israel's warning Sunday was ac companied by a show of its air power at a northern Israeli base. In less than three minutes, technicians loaded camouflage-painted jets with missiles, bombs and extra fuel.

Shoemate applied to become a psy, chiatric intern at UNC hospitals in late 1989. He used a falsified letter of recr ommendation from a dean at Harvard University and a fictitious photograph to gain his training license. Both th? ; letter and the photograph indicated that Shoemate graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1989. He was accepted as a psychiatric intern and began working at UNC Hospitals and Dorothea Dix Hospital in July 1989. In September 1990, the State Board of Medical Examiners rechecked Shoemate's credentials when he ap plied for a full license. The board dis covered that signatures on Shoemate's letter did not match the Harvard dean's signatures. The board then checked with Harvard officials, who said Shoemate was not a graduate of the university. UNC Hospitals fired Shoemate Oct. 1 after receiving a report from the State Board of Medical Examiners. Shoemate resigned from the residency program and has been missing since last fall. frrjfn page 1 Arens told reporters. We are prepared to defend ourselves, and will give a good account of our- selves. Still, many foreigners in Israel weren't taking any chances. Five flights by Israel's EI Al national airlines and Trans World Airlines left Tel Aviv for the United States Sunday, including three special flights. On Friday, the U.S. State Departmen t issued a travel advisory telling Ameri cans to consider leaving Israel. Pope John Paul II, in an unusually blunt appeal, said Sunday that world leaders should not gi ve up on a peacef u I solution to the gulf crisis and pressed for an international conference to discuss all Middle East problems. "It is an appeal that I direct to Iraq so that it makes a gesture of peace that would only do it honor before history.-Iv is an appeal that I direct to all interested nations so that they organize, on their part, apeace conference that contributes to resolving all the problems of peace ful co-existence in the Middle East," John Paul said. And Saudi King Fahd again urged Saddam to let "wisdom and reason" prevail and order his forces to withdraw, the Saudi Press Agency said Sunday. "Saudi Arabia does not wish to see a war at all ... and it is in the Iraqi leader's hands to spare the blood of Iraqis and non-Iraqis," Fahd said.
