Lewis Pitts, a constitutional lawyer, emphasized the power of the people in government. "It's time to activate the fourth branch of government the people." He used the American Revolu Statue He said he believed the vandalism was not the work of groups openly opposed to the location of the sculpture but rather the result of people acting independently and possibly under the influence of al cohol. "This is a particularly expensive and mindless kind of action," he said. "I'm very, very upset about it and disap pointed, obviously." Hardin said he had consulted with several University officials about pos sibly relocating the sculpture, and that he planned to release a public statement today or Tuesday. "This is a little bit of a setback, but I don't think it will have any effect on my announcement," he said. He declined to reveal his decision. Hardin said he did not know whether the sculpture was insured, but that he expected the damaged statue would be repaired. He said he could not estimate how much the repairs would cost or how long they would take. Several students looking at the damaged statues Sunday said they thought the vandalism was related to ATTENTION: UNC-CH Freshmen and Sophomoresl Applications are now available for students interested in acceptance into the Honors Program.

But the power of the people is also a paradox, Pitts said. "If we don't believe we have the power, we ain't got it. Nothing can be too radical to prevent the slaughter that is about to happen." Bryan Harter, a senior psychology the opposition to the statues. "I'm not surprised," said Irene Snyder, a senior psychology major from Raleigh. "I figured these statues would be a target of vandalism because of the controversy surrounding them, but I don't approve of it." But William Massey, associate vice chancellor for University relations, said the vandalism might not have been re lated to controversy over the sculpture. "You can't assume that the reason that seems most obvious was the one motivating the vandals," Massey said. "I would question the easy connec tion between any disagreement and concern and controversy that this statue has caused and this action, because it just as easily could have been done by two or three people who wanted to have fun in their own way. "We had a very close basketball game (Saturday) night," he said. "Could you not conclude that a die-hard Virginia fan could have done it?"

"The real question now is how much more difficult it will be. "On a given day, it makes it extra difficult to operate, meaning to do what we are designed to do. The more pow erful problem is found when one mea sures what the likely negative cumula tive effect will be in the future." If the University administration now wanted to fill a vacancy, they must appeal to the State Office of Manage ment and Budget. Tuchi said the length of the appeals process was uncertain. "Who knows how long it will take?" he said. "In the case of a faculty mem ber, a vice chancellor or a directorship, it may take some time.

"There will be a form to send in describing the urgency of filling the position," White said. "It will be strict. There's no need to have a freeze if we approve all of the appeals that come in." Winjberg said the freeze was part of a growing list of employee concerns at the University. "In addition, there is a concern about the salary increase July 1 ," she said.
