Chapel Hill voters chose Ken Broun
over Tommy Gardner and Rosemary
Waldorf to be the next mayor of Chapel
Hill, with 49 percent of the vote going to
the University law professor.
Waldorf received 40 percent, with
3,061 votes, while Gardner received
903 votes.
Broun, who received 3,992 votes,
said at his victory party Tuesday night
that he was pleased with the outcome of
the election but that he had planned for
a tighter race. "Waldorf had a lot of
support and started early," he said.
Incumbent Mayor Jonathan Howes
opted not to run for a third term.
Broun said he was looking forward
to working with University officials.
"People in town were concerned about
my affiliation with the University,"
Broun said. "The majority of voters felt
I could maintain my independence."
Broun, a former dean of the UNC
School of Law, said his election should
not be seen as an endorsement of an
anti-University agenda. "I am against
the South Loop Road and the new park-
Incumbents victorious in Carrboro 3

ing decks, but that doesn't necessarily
mean that I ran on an anti-University
platform."
Broun also said his victory could be
viewed as a reflection of Chapel Hill
residents' feelings about Tax Watch. "I
think the majority of citizens have re
jected the simple solutions of
TaxWatch."
Candidates in both the mayoral and
Chapel Hill Town Council races who
were supported by TaxWatch lost.
Waldorf and Gardner are members of
the watchdog group.
Undergraduate and graduate students
played a positive role in Broun's cam
paign, he said. "I got a lot of support
from a whole lot of different groups,
and I want to thank all the groups who
supported me," Broun said.
Present Chapel Hill Town Council
member Art Werner, who attended
Broun's victory party, said he thought
the results were a rejection of Tax Watch.
"I think it's a real kick in the pants for
them," Werner said. "It's not so mucW
on the issues as on their lack of civility.
Theytakegutturalapproa hes.personal
approaches, and the voters in Chapel
Hill aren't going to put up with that."
Harry Gooder, UNC professor of
microbiology and former chairman of
the faculty, said he thought Broun would
represent the concerns of the University
and the town.
"Just because Mr. Broun is with the
University, one shouldn't automatically
assume he will ascribe to a University
viewpoint oratownviewpoint,"Gooder
said. "He obviously has a good under
standing of the University's problems."
Gardner wished Broun "all the luck
in the world."
"Anything I could do to help him out,
I certainly would," he said after team
ing the election results.
Gardner said he was somewhat sur
prised at the election's outcome.
Gardner said he did not think Broun's
victory was a rejection of Tax Watch. "I
think TaxWatch is probably the most
misperceived organization in Chapel
Hill," Gardner said. "It has a very nar
row purpose."
Waldorf said she thought the race

DA to investigate complaints
about SHS post-rape services
By Bonnie Rochman
Assistant University Editor
The local district attorney plans to
talk with the UNC Student Health Ser
vice about its post-rape counseling pro
gram after receiving complaints from
two University students and a former
student.
The three sexually assaulted women
toldOrange-Chatham District Attorney
Carl Fox that SHS's handling of post
rape counseling and its treatment of
victims were inadequate.Thethreecom
plaints were filed in the past two years.
Fox said he planned to meet with
SHS officials before the end of the
month to discuss the charges and the
service's procedure for dealing with
rape victims.
SHS director Judith Cowan could
not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Fox said SHS should follow an es
tablished procedure for dealing with
rape victims. "I'm sure they do have an
established procedure, but it ought to be
followed," he said. "I'm aware of some
deviations from the established proto
col." Fox said he could not elaborate on
those deviations until he discussed them
further with the people involved.
Two of the three students have
charged that SHS provided them with
incorrect information, Fox said.
But he said he could not comment on
the details of those complaints. "It was
about things that had been discussed
that were going to happen or were hap
pening, and they didn't," he said. "This
happened on at least one occasion."
One woman who has complained
about misinformation decided to file
charges against her alleged rapist and
another man after discovering that SHS
officials were not handling the case the
way they said they would.
The woman, a University sophomore,
filed charges last month against Carmen
Edward Catullo, of 1-3 Kingswood
Apartments, alleging he raped her after
an August party.
She has said SHS officials told her
Catullo and another man originally
charged in the case would receive coun
seling for the assault. But she later was
told that Catullo was receiving counsel
ing only for alcohol abuse and that the
second man was no longer a UNC stu
dent. Fox said he received the third com
plaint from a University student after
the Catullo case was made public. But
he could not discuss any details about it,
he said.
Former UNC student Sara To wnsend
was the first woman to file a complaint

University senior Mark Chilton made
history Tuesday, becoming the young
est person and the second student to be
elected to the Chapel Hill Town Coun
cil.
Chilton, 21,
came in fourth
place behind in
cumbents Joe
Herzenberg,
Roosevelt
Wilkerson and
challenger Joe
Capowski.
Chilton turned 21
Sept. 27, barely
reaching the age
requirement to sit on the council.
Herzenberg received 17 percent of
the vote with 4,803 votes, while
Wilkerson grabbed 16 percent of the
vote with 4,476 votes. Capowski earned
1 5 percent of the vote with 4,073 votes,
while Chilton received 1 1 percent with
3,012 votes.
In 1973, UNC
political science
graduate student
Gerry Cohen won
a council seat.
Cohen, who later
lost two mayoral
elections, was 23
when he first was
elected to the
council.
Chilton said he
would encourage
student participation in town govern
ment, but students were already taking
the initiative themselves.

"I hope (students taking initiative)
continues," he said. "I would encourage
everyone, not just students, to contact
the government
when they are not
happy."
Chilton empha
sized that he did
not base his cam
paign on one is

concern himself
with only one is
sue while on the
council.
"Transporta

areas of expertise, but I didn't have a
single-issue campaign," he said.

Chilton said the University and town
should work together but added that
some University policies would have to
change.
"I think the University needs to re
think its relation with the town," he
said. "UNC is in Chapel Hill and is
under the jurisdiction and control of
Chapel Hill."
Mary-Dell Chilton, Mark Chilton's
mother, said her son's victory was un
expected. "It never crossed my mind that Mark
would become a politician,"she said. "I
knew he had a lot of environmental
concerns. I never dreamed he'd go for
such an active application."

Plan would raise fees
for library endowment
By Heather Harreld
Staff Writer
A proposal to raise student fees by
$2.50 to create a library endowment
fund might appear on a spring student
referendum.
' Student Congress members will
decide within the next two weeks if the
proposal will be put on a spring refer
endum, said Mark Shelbume, congress
speaker pro tempore.
: Shelbume devised the plan, which
calls for an increase in student fees by
$2.50 each semester to create the en
dowment.
The University would donate half
of the interest from the endowment to
the library and reinvest the other half,
according to the plan. Shelbume esti
mated that the endowment would gen
erate $30,000 for the library after five
years and more than $60,000 after 10
years.
Student Congress Speaker Tim
Moore said the idea of a library en
dowment fund was a good one, but
student activities fees are meant for

Student indicted for second-degree rape
By Warren Hynes
Assistant Sports Editor
A University senior will face the
Orange County Superior Court as early
as next month after being indicted Mon
day on charges of second-degree rape
of another student.
An Orange County grand jury found
Monday that Carmen Edward Catullo,
22, of 1-3 Kingswood Apartments,
should be tried on charges of raping an
18-year-old UNC sophomore.
Second-degree rape, which is defined
as forced intercourse without the use of
a weapon, carries a maximum penalty
of 40 years in prison.
Catullo was a member of the UNC
wrestling team the past two years but
was suspended
from the team af
ter the charges
were filed against
him Sept. 25.
The trial will be
held at the Supe
rior Court in
Hillsborough after
Dec. 9, the open
ing of the next
criminal court ses
sion. Orange-
Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox
said he would draw up the court's calen
dar about 10 days before the session
begins.
Catullo, who is out on bond, said he
had no comment Tuesday.
Carmen Catullo
In an Oct. 25 hearing, a Chapel Hill
District Court judge found probable
cause to send Catullo before a grand
jury
But the judge dismissed the same
charge against Christopher Mitchell
Burns, a former University student and
wrestler now attending Wilkes Com
munity College.
At that hearing, the UNC sophomore
testified that Catullo and Bums had
reneged on a promise to take her home
from an Aug. 25 fraternity party. She
said the two men took her to Catullo's
apartment, where Catullo had sexual
intercourse with her against her will and
Bums watched from a window.
Fox could have attempted to charge
Bums again Monday through an indict
ment. But the district attorney said he
had found no legal basis to bring Bums'
case before a grand jury.
"The statutory and case laws that I'm
aware of would not allow me to try him
with any hopes of success," Fox said.
In the Oct. 25 hearing. Fox said that
although the woman had testified she
had not screamed or fought with Catullo,
she had not consented to have sex with
him and had asked to be taken home.
Fox said Tuesday that he could not
say if this would be the focus of the
prosecution at the trial.
"You can quote me on what I said at
the trial, but I can't make statements as
to what the crux of the case will be at
this point," he said.
No matter how you slice it, it's still baloney. Alfred E. Smith
