Man -who eluded police
arrested after dispute
'' Chapel Hill police arrested a man
Friday who is wanted in Chatham
County for attempted murder and who
eluded Carrboro police earlier this
month.
: Robert "De De" Lee Farrington, of
103-J Hargrave St., Carrboro, was ar
rested after officers observed him in a
dispute on North Graham Street, ac
cording to police reports.
He was transported to Chatham
County law enforcement officials, the
reports stated.
Farrington reportedly was in a
Carrboro home three weeks ago, but
Carrboro police were unable to locate
him. Chapel Hill Police Sgt. Steve
Riddle said.
Police did not search in the attic,
where Farrington probably was hiding,
because it would have been too danger
ous, Riddle said.
. The only way to enter the attic was
through a small crawlspace. "They
would have had to put the life of the first
person through in jeopardy," Riddle
said.
. In addition, police didn't release tear
gas into the attic because the chemical
content could have caused a fire, Riddle
said.
. Farrington was charged Aug. 28 in
Chatham County with armed robbery
and assault with a deadly weapon with
;intent to kill, police reports stated.
; He is being held in Chatham County
yail under $15,000 secured bond, ac
cording to police reports.

Black politicians must avoid racially
divisive politics and escape the labels of
liberal and democrat, N.C. Sen. Howard
Lee, D-Orange, said in a speech at the
Black Cultural Center Thursday night.
The speech was part of the Black
Student Movement's African-American
Awareness Week.
As a politician with over 20 years of
experience, Lee said he could offer ad

said. "Go out and run as a candidate

Book policy changed for grad
By Micah Cover
Staff Writer
Graduate students now have two more
months before they must remember to
return library books.
The Administrative Board of Librar
ies recently changed the amount of time
graduate students can check out books
from one to three months.
Graduate Students United requested
the policy change last spring, and the
board put it into effect this semester.
University librarian James Govan
said the policy applied only to graduate
students and included books from the
Undergraduate and Davis libraries.

Former Israeli general supports
return of West Bank for peace
By Deborah Greenwood
Staff Writer
Israel must relinquish control of the
West Bank in order to attain peace
in the Middle East, a former Israeli
general said in a speech Sunday.
Ychoshafat Harkabi, former major
general of the Israeli Defense Forces,
visited the University Hillel Founda
tion to deliver an in-depth analysis of
Arab-Israeli relations.
"The only possible solution is with
drawal from West Bank, and it could
have been averted in 1977 if territorial
settlements had been stopped," he said.
The United Nations imposed patrition
in 1977, but the new leader of Israel,
PrimeMinisterMenachemBegin.chose
to ignore the United Nation's decision
and settle the West Bank, Harkabi said.
The United States and the other U.N.
members are partly to blame for the
present situation, he said. The United
States especially could have stopped
the violation of the U.N. legislation, but
chose to ignore the issue.
"It was a historic moment, because
inadvertently America condoned it and
accepted the settlement of the territo
ries," he said. "American Jews allowed
Israel to sink into the quagmire of the
wrong policy."
Arab hard-liners believe they can
defeat the Israeli state by waiting until
its resources are depleted, Harkabi said.

criticizes racial
issues based on ethnicity. Address is
sues based on need.
"I have never racialized issues in my
campaigns. I would never do that, be
cause I think that is the most fragile and
disgusting kind of politics one can play."
Public policy and welfare programs
should be based on need, not race, said
Lee, who was Chapel Hill's first black
mayor.
Racially divisive politics are used by
politicians to win votes, but these tac
tics block any cooperation among groups
of needy people, he said.
"We need to break down the master
plan of the system, which has always
been to keep poor white folk and poor
on long dissertations and seminars and
need the extra time to have the books at
their disposal, Govan said.
"They couldn't get the work done in
the period allowed them," he said.
The library consulted graduate stu
dents when they considered changing
the policy, Govan said.
Candis LaPrade, GSU secretary, said
the new policy could help graduate stu
dents who are often saddled with lengthy
research projects. Some research lasts
for a year or two, and the new policy is
good for such projects, she said.
Govan said the new policy would not

But he doesn't think this will happen.
"If the war continues, it will not be
that one side becomes exhausted and
quits. The lives of both sides will be
made hell."
Although patrition will be costly for
the Israelis, relocating the 200,000 Is
raeli citizens now settled on the West
Bank is the surest way to attain peace,
Harkabi said.

extent that they can never get together
and understand that they have the same
needs and should work together.
"This is why, as a person who is
black and who is in public office, I
refuse to engage in divisive politics."
Black politicians must avoid using
race-based politics or face the same
charges of racism that divisive white
politicians face, he said.
"If you say that Jesse Helms appeal
ing to whites' needs and fears is wrong,
then you have to agree that it is wrong

"If someone makes a case that they
need a book immediately ... the option
(of recall) is still there," he said.
I.iBria Stephens, a Davis Library
employee, said graduate students could
check out books for one or three months.
If a student recalls a book that has
been checked out for three months, the
graduate student must return the book.
But after the book is returned, the book
goes back to the graduate student,
Stephens said.
If the graduate student does not re
turn the book when it is recalled, he or

lion Arabs?"
Harkabi's vision for the future in the
Middle East is the development of an
Israeli and an Arab state. Both sides will
have to accept their states will be some
what smaller and their resources more
limited, he said.
"My idea is that with a smaller state,
let us develop ourselves into a quality
state. A Zionism of quality rather than
acreage."
Harkabi said he understands the Arab
claim to the Holy Land, as well as the
Jews' claim. The fact that the Jews have
historical rights to Israel is inconse
quential in modern times, he said. "His
torical rights exist in poetry but not in
politics."
David Schwartz, a UNC graduate,
said he was impressed with Harkabi's
analysis. "He was really presenting the
voice of pragmatism," he said. "He was
saying, this is the reality of the situa
tion, now decide now before it becomes
more difficult."
Harkabi, a professor of international
relations at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, has held a variety of strate
gic positions in the Israeli government.
Since the 1950s he has been chief of
Israeli Military Intelligence, head of
strategic research for the Ministry of
Defense, and adviser on intelligence to
Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and
Menaehem Begin.

can be stumbling blocks for black poli
ticians, Lee said.
"It is presumed that every black who
holds public office is a liberal," he said.
"It is also presumed that any black
that is elected to office will enter office
and embrace social programs without
asking questions about the outcome of
those programs and without analyzing
very clearly how we measure the
progress that we're making in the long
term.
"Unfortunately, black politicians tend
to get tagged with labels, and then they

Environmental 'passion'
brings Earthwares store
to downtown Carrboro
By Andrew Cline
Staff Writer
Environmentalism met capitalism
in Carrboro last week.
Two entrepreneurs from New York
recently opened Earthwares, a store
that dealsonly in environmentally safe
products. Located in the Carr Mill
Plaza, Earthwares provides a wide
variety of products, from baby toys to
paint and toilets.
"Peopleare really into it," Co-owner
Rona Fried-Overholt said. "They're
telling us they've been waiting for us."
Fried-Overholt and her husband.
Trip, both quit corporate jobs to open
the store. "I just never felt right,"Rona
said. "We had a passion about the
environment and we wanted to believe
in what we were doing."
The couple moved to Carrboro in
May 1990. "We looked all over the
country and this was a good choice,"
Rona said. 'There is a sophisticated
group of people, and a mile away you
could be in the woods."
Carrboro Mayor Eleanor Kinnaird
helped the Fried-Overholts get
Earthwares started. "I wanted to get
this here," Kinnaird said.

Someone at Full Circle, a company
with which the Fried-Overholts did
business, told them to get in touch
with Kinnaird. The mayor then helped
them find store space and get a loan
from the town.
The Fried-Overholts said they plan
to do more with the store than just sell
environmentally safe products.
"We're going to have really practical
hands-on seminars on stuff like water
purification, non-toxic pet care and
baby care," Rona said.
Products for the store come from
all over the world, she said. There are
foods from New England and hemp
bags from South America. Kinnaird
said, "One of the good things I see is
things for children."
The Fried-Overholts put in many
hours of research to find their prod
ucts. "You scour all trade magazines,
do research in the library, go to trade
shows and test products yourself."
Trip said.

$45,000 to get the store started and
they have madeaconstant profit since
