Sheriff shoots, kills man

tempting to rob an Efland convenience

Albert Brandon, 22, was declared

"Mebane was mentioned."
Pendergrass was returning from a
"Take Back the Streets" march in Efland,
which took place Saturday afternoon,
when he stopped at Liner's Red & White
on U.S. 70 to shop.
Hawley said that Pendergrass was in
the back of the store about 7 p.m. when
Brandon pointed a handgun at an em
ployee behind the cash register and de
manded money. Brandon's gun may
have been fake, Hawley said.
Brandon turned and pointed his gun
at Pendergrass after the sheriff ap
nered 61 percent of the vote amid a
record turnout.
"Louisiana voters had to choose be
tween a rascal and a racist," said Stan
Makielski, a professor of political sci

to have a man that is dishonest with
money than a man who's fundamen

Students will keep
parking spaces for
basketball season
By Marty MlncbJn
Staff Writer
Only one campus parking lot will be
reserved during basketball games, which
means students won't have to move
their cars to make way for fans.
The opening of the Craige parking
deck has eliminated the need for reserv
ing most campus lots, said Dennis
Garrett, parking control supervisor.
"We will not be reserving lots for
basketball season this year," Garrett
said. "We will not move anyone out
who is already parked in a zone. How
ever, we do remove vehicles from the
lot directly behind the Smith Center."
The lot behind the Smith Center is
reserved for people directly involved
with the basketball games, such as ath
letes, coaches, television crews and ca
terers. All other lots that usually are re
served during games, such as Ramshead
lot, will be open this year during the
games. This should be good news for
students, who will be able to save time
and gas by leaving their cars where they
are.
James Mayo, a junior from Blounts
Creek, said it was difficult to get a
parking space in South Campus lots
during basketball weekends.
Faculty refuse to set
goal for Bicentennial
By Jennifer Talhelm
Staff Writer
Faculty Council members unani
mously rejected a proposal Friday that
set a total goal for faculty contributions
to the Bicentennial Campaign.
The proposal, which was made by
the Administrative Board of the Gradu
ate School, asked professors to support
graduate students by contributing $2
million to the Bicentennial Campaign.
The council tabled the proposal last
month when economics professor
Michael Salemi opposed the $2 million
goal targeted solely for the Graduate
School.
Salemi presented a substitute motion
at this month's meeting. The motion
urged prqfessors to participate in the
Bicentennial Campaign, but stated that
each professor should decide individu
ally how much to contribute.
"It's my particular interest that we do
not hold a number in front of our col
leagues, especially our junior col
leagues," Salemi said.
Harry Gooder, former Faculty Coun
cil chairman, said members should not
set a specific amount for individuals to
contribute, but the project would not

The Edwards camp was mired in its
own scandals as the former governor
strove to separate himself from his three
previous controversy-ridden terms. La
beled by many political observers as a
rogue, Edwards faced two federal
charges of corruption which ended in
acquittals and humiliation.
Although depressed, Duke support
ers cheered as he conceded his loss.

convenience store.
The missing basketball wasn't used
in the Final Four, but the score of Duke's
72-65 championship-clinching win is
painted on it, Kilwien said. "It doesn't
make any sense for anyone to keep
something like that."
Duke officials may increase security
at Cameron as a result of the theft, he
said.
"Sometimes if you happen to be gone
when they open the lot to public park
ing, the lots are full (when you get
back)," Mayo said. "Once they open it
up to public parking, it's better not to
leave until the game is over. Because
you pay almost $200 (for a permit), you
should be able to park here when you
want to."
John Lindsay, a senior from
Fayetteville, said the lots always were
open to the public on weekends, so the
parking problem during basketball
weekends should not be a surprise.
"On weekends the parking places are
up for grabs anyway," Lindsay said.
"On basketball Saturdays there's just a
lot more people who want to park here."
. LaBron Reid, special events coordi
nator for the Department of Transporta
tion and Parking, said residence hall
lots were monitored on game days for
people without permits.
"We monitor the lots around the resi
dence halls to keep the basketball traffic
out," Reid said. "We do that until game
time or until the permit time is over."
Garrett estimated that anywhere from
six to 30 tickets were written for illegal
parking during each basketball game.
The fine for the tickets ranges from $5-

succeed without an overall goal. "I think
that you've got to have a target that
you're going out to try to meet," he said.
Chancellor Paul Hardin agreed that a
collective goal should be set. "But I
don't think the council has the slightest
idea what that should be."
Paul Debreczeny, Slavic languages
professor, said the purpose of the origi
nal proposal was to call attention to the
problem of graduate student funding.
"I thought it was clear that no one
was going to be coerced to contribute,"
he said. "I don't see any purpose to the
substitute motion."
Graduate School Dean Henry
Dearman, who presented the proposal
last month, said the council was moving
in the direction he intended when he
made the proposal.
"I'm very encouraged by the discus
sion that has surrounded Michael
Salemi's substitute motion," he said.
Under Salemi's plan, contributions
would be earmarked for the graduate
school, but Bicentennial Campaign lead
ers also would suggest other areas to
which faculty members could contrib
ute. See FACULTY, page 2
"We lost, but the message goes out loud
and clear across Louisiana and this
whole country," Duke said to support
ers gathered at his campaign headquar
ters Saturday.
"We have to begin to heal the liberal
welfare system that is causing crime
and drugs. ... Right doesn't win every
battle, but right always triumphs in the
end."
