STATE BRIEFS
Child testifies about
day-care sex acts
FARMVILLE The first child to
testify in the Little Rascals sexual abuse
trial said Thursday that the owner of the
day-care center forced him to perform
sexual acts.
"A lot of bad things happened" at
Little Rascals, which was closed by the
state in April 1989, the 5-year-old boy
testified.
The boy, questioned by prosecutor
William Hart, said Kelly stuck objects
in his rectum. "It hurted," the boy said.
The boy also said he was forced to
perform oral sex with Kelly and that
Kelly performed oral sex on him.
Kelly has pleaded innocent to the
1 83 counts of sexually abusing 22 chil
dren at the Edenton day care. Defense
lawyers have contended in court that
allegations of sexual abuse spread
through the 5,000-population town af
ter Kelly slapped a misbehaving child.
Bakker's resentencing
hearing begins today
CHARLOTTE Former PTL leader
Jim Bakker is prepared to accept re
sponsibility for actions that led to his
conviction on fraud and conspiracy
charges, the television evangelist's at
torney said Thursday.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz hopes to
convince a federal judge that Bakker's
initial 45-year sentence was too stiff.
That sentence was thrown out on ap
peal, and U.S. District Judge Graham
Mullen on Thursday began considering
a new sentence.
Prosecutors spent the morning de
scribing the lavish lifestyle they said the
Bakkers led. Jim and Tammy Faye
Bakker earned salaries and bonuses of
$4.7 million during the four-year period
and received other perks, U.S. Attorney
Jerry Miller said.
Martin urges caution
in cargo airport project
CHAPEL HILL North Carolina
would benefit from an international air
cargo complex, but the state must make
sure the facility is not just a "field of
dreams," Gov. Jim Martin said Thurs
day. "Before a decision is made on whether
to spend more money on land and de
velopment, we must be convinced there
is more to the project than vision and
. enthusiasm," Martin told a group of
.about 600 economic developers, busi
nessmen and state officials."
But ' Martin also made it clear he
intends to be a booster for the project,
which would combine a cargo airport
with a ring of manufacturing plants.
Supporters say the project would
bring an estimated 55,000jobs and $2.8
. billion to the state's economy.
The complex would included two
2.5-mile runways for cargo jets, with
factories beside the runways. Raw ma
terials and components could be flown
in and finished products flown out to
markets anywhere in the world.

Officials consider gun control
By Chris Goodson
Staff Writer
Town and law-enforcement officials
are unsure whether proposed gun-control
ordinances would help end the re
cent upward trend of violent crime in
the area and in the state.
The Chapel Hill Town Council has
been discussing possible gun-control
laws with the district attorney and with
the task force on reducing violent crime
and illegal drug use, council member
Roosevelt Wilkerson said.
State law allows sale
of alcohol until 2 a.m.
By Jennifer Brett
Staff Writer
A new state law allowing businesses
to sell alcohol until 2 a.m. provides an
extra hour for area bars to make money,
for students to drink and for N.C. alco
hol officials to monitor late-night drink
ers. Along with bars, convenience stores
also are allowed to sell alcohol until 2
a.m., creating a recent increase in the
rate of fake identification confiscation,
store managers said.
"Lots of people start com ing in around
1 , 1 :30, thinking we'll let them go ahead
and get stuff just because it's so late,"
said Top of the Hill employee Jon
McNair. "We've taken about ten (IDs)
in the last week. You wouldn't believe
how many freshmen come in here try
ing to buy beer."
Frank Heath, owner of Cat's Cradle,
said being able to sell drinks an extra
hour might increase revenues.
"While we're not expecting larger
crowds, we're hoping to increase our
profits," Heath said. "We'll actually be
staying open only a bit later, but now
we'll be able to sell drinks longer."
The later closing time will mean
longer working hours for state Alcohol
Pizza Hut, Taco Bell added
By Jon Whlsenant
Staff Writer
Despite endorsements by the Teen
age Mutant Ninja Turtles and Miami
Dolphin quarterback Dan Marino,
Domino's Pizza is losing ground to its
competitors, at least on the UNC Cam
pus. .
Carolina Dining Services replaced
Domino's pizza with Pizza Hut pizza at
Lenoir Dining Hall and added Taco
Bell products to the menu at Chase
Dining Hall in August.
The switch in pizza suppliers fol
lowed a recent national agreement in
which Marriott Corp. made Pizza Hut
the provider of all its on-campus pizza
services.
Marriott, which operates Carolina
Dining Services, won the food services
contract this summer and was awarded
a three-year contract with the Univer
sity. Students from

"The question really becomes, ' How
enforceable are (gun-control laws)?',"
Wilkerson said.
Gun-control lawsenactedbythetown
alone would not be effective enough, he
said. "It would have to come through
the legislature, anything that would have
any teeth to it."
But restricting the sale of handguns
may not be the solution to the problem
because handguns used to commit
crimes generally are acquired illegally,
Wilkerson said.
Stricter penalties for handgun of
Law Enforcement (ALE) officials.
"I don't think we'll have any addi
tional problems enforcing the drinking
age law, even though bars are going to
be open later," said John Britt, deputy
director of operations at the Raleigh
ALE office. "We'll be out longer, so
there will be an increase in enforcement
opportunities, that's all."
Craig Reed, manager of Four Cor
ners on East Franklin Street, said he was
unsure if the extended business hours
would affect revenues.
"It's a little too early to tell, as
everyone'sjust getting back," Reed said.
"We'd like to think an extra hour of
business will help, but we don't know
how many people will actually stay
later because of early classes. We'll just
have to wait and see what the students
are like this year."
Neither Heath nor Reed said the re
cent violence on Franklin Street could
be attributed to the new business hours
of bars.
"People are going to do what they're
going to do, regardless of what time it
is," Reed said. "Maybe now that (bars)
are going to be open later, people will
find a place to stay inside instead of
See BARS, page 5
The pizza change raised few eye
brows on campus only eight out of
20 students questioned during lunch
Wednesday expressed any opinion about
the switch. Four said they preferred
Pizza Hut pizza.
"I think Pizza Hut is much better, but
the quantity is smaller," said senior
.Stephen Ingram. "I think it was an ex
change of quantity for quality."
"I don't like either one," said junior
Tim Freeman. "They did better selling
the single si ices downstairs at the Court."
Chris Derby, director of the Carolina
Dining Services, said pizza prices are
the same as last year, and the pizza's
cardboard boxes are still 100 percent
biodegradable.
Prices of Taco Bell products in Chase
are the same as in off-campus locations,
and students can choose from three types
of burritos and two kinds of tacos, Derby
said.

Chapel Hill Police Captain Ralph
Pendergraph agreed with Wilkerson that
most handgun crimes are committed
with illegal weapons.
Many illegal handguns are stolen
from homes or gun shops, making it
easy for them to be acquired,
Pendergraph said. It is much easier to
get an illegal handgun than a legal one,
he added.
Illegal drug traffic also adds to the
handgun problem, Pendergraph said.

The new menu is just one of the
changes students will find when eating
on campus. Carolina Court, located
downstairs in Lenoir, will be used solely
for "Seconds, Please!," a new all-you-can-eat
meal plan.
The newplan provides 12or 16 meals
a week plus a $50 or $ 1 00 cash account
that can be used anywhere cash cards
are accepted. Theplan costs $675 for 12
meals a week and $800 for 16 meals a
week.
"Parents can budget for and know
that their students have meals guaran
teed throughout the semester, from the
first day of registration to the last day of
exams," Derby said.
"The traditional cash card plan may
require additional funding throughout
the semester whether parents are pre
pared for that or not."

"Firearms and illegal drug trade go hand
in hand."
Probably 70 percent of all crimes
involving handguns are drug-related,
Pendergraph said.
Although the to wn staff has taken no
official action, Town Manager Cal

local level would help. "Personally, I
would welcome additional regulations
on handguns and other weapons."

Chapel Hill would not be effective be
cause many individuals sell handguns
to others without a permit anyway.
"Since most of these guns that there
are problems with are obtained outside
of retail markets, it wouldn't be effec
tive anyway," Fox said. j
Imposing stiffer penalties on hand
gun crimes probably would not be ef
fective, Fox said. "I'm not convinced
that a person who uses a gun in a violent
crime is concerned with the penalties
involved."
