Leaders ask U.N. to
prosecute Saddam
LUXEMBOURG The 1 2 foreign
ministers of the European Community
said Monday that Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein committed war crimes
during the Persian Gulf War and urged
the United Nations to begin proceed
ings against him.
The move was proposed by
Germany's foreign minister, Hans
Dietrich Genscher, who told reporters
. the EC was "in agreement that Saddam
personally is responsible for genocide
and war crimes."
Genscher's plan seeks to hold
Saddam personally accountable for the
war and the subsequent assault on Iraq's
rebellious Kurdish population.
U.S. pullout leaves
Iraqi refugees worried
SAFWAN, Iraq Iraqi police will
handle law and order in part of the
demilitarized border zone with Kuwait,
and refugees said Monday that this is
equivalent to sending them to prison or
worse.
Several serious problems remain
unresolved as U.S. troops pull out of
southern Iraq and a U.N. peacekeeping
mission prepares to move into the buffer
zone straddling the Iraq-Kuwait border.

Bush calls for efforts at
averting railroad strike
WASHINGTON President
George Bush said Monday a coast-to-coast
rail strike "could severely disrupt
the economy" and he called for rail
ways and unions to make a last-ditch
effort to resolve the dispute before
Tuesday's midnight deadline.
Most of the nation's 235,000 freight
line workers have promised to walk off
their jobs at 1 2:0 1 a.m. Wednesday if no
breakthrough in the 3-year-old dispute
is reached. Wages and health benefits
are at the heart of the disagreement.
Bush stopped short of indicating that
he would ask Congress to intervene and
head off the strike, saying, "It is always
better for labor and management to re
solve their differences and produce an
agreement."

lurvey shows most alumni satisfied
By Shea Riggsbee
Staff Writer
A recent study of University alumni
revealed that two of the most important
factors determining their satisfaction
were quality of instruction and faculty
interaction.
The study constituted a portion of
William Pate's doctoral dissertation for
the UNC School of Education. Tim
Sanford, director of institutional re
search and Pate's adviser, presented the
study to senior University officials.
The purpose of the study was to re
search the effects certain factors, such
as GPA, age upon enrollment and inter
action with faculty, have on alumni
satisfaction, Pate said. The study showed
alumni are relatively satisfied.
Tabloid prints name of alleged Kennedy
The Associated Press
PALM BEACH, Fla. A Florida
based supermarket tabloid published
the name and a photo today of the woman
who says she was raped at the Kennedy
estate last month, despite a state law
barring such publication.
The managing editor of The Globe,
Robert Taylor, said he would release a
statement later today explaining the
decision. The paper is based in Boca
Raton in Palm Beach County, the county
where the alleged incident occurred.
It was apparently the first time the
woman's name has appeared in a U.S.
publication, though it has appeared in
print in England.

Alumni were asked to rate various
University services in order of satisfac
tion and importance. Academic advis
ing, career counseling and job place
ment were some of the areas alumni
listed as dissatisfactory, he said.
The more satisfied alumni are, the
more likely they are to recommend the
University to others or to further their
education at the University, Pate said.
Research was conducted by asking
questions of 450 UNC alumni who had
been out of the school for five to 20
years. The group included graduates
and non-graduates who were enrolled
at the University for at least two semes
ters. Douglas Dibbert, executive director
of the Alumni Association, said Pate's
research was not solicited by the Uni
The suspect, William .Kennedy
Smith, a medical student and a nephew
of Sen. Edward Kennedy, has denied
attacking the woman on March 30. No
charges have been filed in the case.
The publication could Set up a court
confrontation over the law, which has
already been the subject of a U.S. Su
preme Court decision that upheld, un
der limited circumstances, punishment
of a newspaper convicted of violating
the law.
Jack Freese, a spokesman for the
state attorney's office, said today that
his office will study the statute and case
law before deciding what to do about
the Globe story.

Pate said the Alumni Association
assisted him by providing the sample of
students to be included in the'study.
Pate said he did not set out to target
UNC alumni particularly, but that he
did the study here because he could
obtain relevant information about
alumni through the University.
Alumni opinion was fairly consis
tent with that of most colleges and uni
versities, he said.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said routine alumni sur
veys were important in evaluating the
overall effectiveness of an institution.
"Alumni are our best salesmen," he
said.
Last week, asked about the publica
tion in London, he had said, "We can
only prosecute cases that occur in our
jurisdiction."
Under state law, publishing or broad
casting a rape victim's "name, address,
or other identifying fact or informa
tion" is a second-degree misdemeanor
punishable by a 60-day jail sentence
and a $500 fine under Florida law.
"It's outrageous, it's unfair, it's sex
ist," said Harvard law Professor Alan
Dershowitz, a critic of the law. "If you
publish the name, you will be constitu
tionally protected. I guarantee it."

Pate said many people assume that
people are more satisfied with Univer
sity programs when more money is spent
on them.
"To say that you have to spend money
is not supported by the study," he said.
There are ways to implement his
recommendation for more faculty-student
interaction without spending
money, he said.
Pate's study suggested that instruc
tors be required to remain after class for
five minutes to talk with students.
Sanford said, "Most faculty mem
bers would welcome the opportunity to
have more interaction with students."
But he said he doubted Pate's find

sity. rape victim
woman's name common knowledge
in this high-society enclave could be
emotionally crippling.
David Roth, attorney for the 29-year-old
woman, said last week that his client
wants her privacy.
"She will come forward and testify,
but has no intention of seeking publicity
or giving up her right to privacy," he
said.
The sensitive telling of a rape case by
a woman who wanted her story known
brought a Pulitzer Prize for The Des
Moines (Iowa) Register last week.
Rape victim Nancy Ziegenmeyer al
lowed her name to be used in an effort
to counter the shame often associated
with rape.
"There's been a recent trend of rape
victims identifying themselves, and I
think that's probably a healthy thing,"
said news media attorney Mart in Reeder
of West Palm Beach.
Some say people need to get the sex
out of rape and treat it as a violent
assault, not a sexual act.
But Franye Coverman, a West Palm
Beach social worker who counsels adults
molested as children, said the personal
blame and shame attached to rape is
traumatic. Publicizing the woman's
name in the Kennedy case before she
has dealt with the conflicts "could ruin
her for life," Coverman said.
Robyn Blumner of the American
Civil Liberties Union in Miami sees the
state law as improper prior restraint of
the press but recognizes the argument
on the other side: that publication may
harm the victim.
London tabloids already have named
the woman and printed a yearbook photo
of her. Other media organizations have
given precise details of the woman's
background.
. The Palm Beach Post, the county's
largest daily with a 179,000 daily circu
lation, wouldn't publish a victim 'sname
unless they agreed to it except in
extraordinary circumstances, Manag
ing Editor Tom O'Hara said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if she ends
up being identified in the American
media," he said before today's disclo
sure, adding he could foresee the day
the Post prints the woman's name.
Allan Siegal, an assistant managing
editor of The New York Times, which
has closely covered the story, says the
Times "considers these things case by
case."
"Ordinarily, the Times doesn't name
victims of sex crimes unless there is an
extraordinary public interest in identi
fying them or we have strong reason to
doubt their account," he said.
In 1989, a U.S. Supreme Court deci
sion overturned a 3y,DUU verdict
against a Jacksonville weekly newspa
per that claimed it inadvertently pub
lished the name of a victim.
The decision said newspapers may
be punished for publishing names of
victims obtained legally from court
records only when such publication
would violate "a state interest of the
highest order." That language basically
left it to court interpretation when pub
lication was justified.

time re-instating the classes because
preparations such as room assignments
and book orders would have to be made
later.
The political science department, if it
receives enough money to fund all the
classes now offered through Caroline,
will be able to re-instate classes easily
because the classes already are on the
books, Schwartz said.
"It's a question of what's the best
way to prepare for worst-case contin
gency scenarios."
Schwartz said he would be teaching
an extra undergraduate course next se
mester if the budget problems required
it. He now is scheduled to teach one
undergraduate course and one graduate
course, but will wait until June to decide
whether he will srill teach the latter.

Not all fraternities and sororities par

cause of budgeting conflicts.
Mike Reynolds, Pi Kappa Phi presi
dent, said his fraternity did not have the
money in its budget at the beginning of
April to participate in the fast. The fra
ternity is going to make a contribution
now and give up meals another day.
"We're just going to send a check now,
about $200 to $300," he said.
Pi Kappa Phi did participate in the
fast last year, Reynolds said. "It's not a
big sacrifice to get away from our food
once in awhile."
