CraftsFfist's nrofils
down by 25 percent
CraftsFest, the annual fund-raising
festival sponsored by the Campus Y,
went well this weekend, said Alii
Traylow, a chairwoman of the organiz
ing committee.
But the profits from CraftsFest were
down about 25 percent this year, she
said.
"It went well, but with the economy
the way it is, and maybe because we had
it earlier than usual, as many people did
not come," Traylow said.
Elizabeth Colb, another committee
chairwoman, said it was a busy week
end on campus, but many students and
faculty members still supported
CraftsFest.
"We were pleased with the many Y
volunteers who came and helped out,"
she said.
UNC-Soviet Exchange
Program gets $36,000
The UNC-Soviet Exchange Program
has received $36,000 from the U.S.
Information Agency to send under
graduate students to Russia to study in
1992.
"We had a smaller grant for calendar
year 1 99 1 for $ 1 8,000, and for calendar
year 1992, we have a $36,000 grant,"
said Paul Debreczeny, Russian litera
ture professor and program director.
"It's a little more expensive to go
over there than to come to UNC-Chapel
Hill," he said.
Seven students went to the Soviet
Union when the program started. But
for various reasons, including the Gulf
War, only four students have applied
since then, Debreczeny said.
'The Gulf War caused parents to
worry about their children's safety," he
said. "I think people are getting back
into it, for it looks like three students are
going in the spring semester of 1992."
Debreczeny said students who par
ticipated in the exchange program would
receive extensive training in Russian.
Having the opportunity to make
friends with Soviets also is a rewarding
experience, he said.
"Many students came back last spring
talking about the friends ad families
they met," he said. "The seventh stu
dent is still in Russia and decided not to
return.
Debreczeny said the present situa
tion made the Soviet Union especially
exciting now.
'The political situation is changing,
and the structure of the Soviet Union is
changing, and they can be over there
watching how history is developing."

Curt Ryan, a political science gradu
ate student, will speak and lead a dis
cussion on the Middle East tonight at
7:30 p.m. in room 212 of the Student
Union.
The question-and-answer portion of
his speech will range from very specific
s to more general questions, Ryan said.
"I'm not going to assume all kinds of
in-depth knowledge, so people won't
have to know a lot about the Middle
East to get something out of it," he said.
Ryan said he wasexpectinga diverse
audience because many people did not
know a lot about the Middle East, while
others were very knowledgeable.
'Things in the Middle East can be a
.little unruly, but informative," Ryan
.: said. "I am going to not take a side so
! much as to present a case."

SBI continues probe
into sheriff's shooting
of suspect in robbery
By Emily Russ
Staff Writer
The State Bureau of Investigation
still is looking into Orange County Sher
iff Lindy Pendergrass's decision to open
fire on a Mebane man attempting to rob
an Efland store Saturday night.
Albert Brandon, 28, died instantly
after Pendergrass shot him numerous
times about 7 p.m. Saturday.
"Saturday night we were looking for
possible accomplices," SBI Director
Charles Dunn said. "We felt that ...
(Brandon) was not alone."
The incident occurred at Liner's Red
and White store on U.S. 70 in Efland.
Pendergrass was in the back of the store
when he saw Brandon pointing a hand
gun at the cashier.
After Pendergrass approached Bran
don, Brandon pointed the gun toward
the sheriff, who immediately opened
fire. Pendergrass was in uniform and
had just returned from a rally in Efland.
Officials learned later that Brandon's
gun was fake, Dunn said.

Student games competition

The Olympics brings thrills of com
petition and feelings of pride to citi
zens worldwide.
Mark Bibbs, a University senior
and president of the Association of
Student Governments, said he wanted
to bring similar feelings to students at
the 16 system campuses through an
annual student games competition.
"The purpose is to promote and
encourage inter-campus spirit through
the medium of sports and like compe
tition," Bibbs said. "There currently is
no type of competition sportswise, and
several students have expressed an
interest in having competition among
the 16 schools."
But Liz Donlevy, a Carolina IM
REC representative, said she wasn't
sure if the program would receive sup
port from participants in intramural
sports.
"I'm sure people would make time
if they were interested, but I don't
think it's a main priority on a college
student's mind," she said.
Will Graham, vice president of
UNC's Sports Club Council, said.
'This type of Olympic event could be
friendly, but I don't think it could
bring people on the different cam
puses closer together."

BCC Director Margo Crawford said
the luncheon was the first in a series that
the group would hold to discuss estab
lishing a free-standing Black Cultural
Center.
The BCC is now located in the Stu

Studies professor who died Aug. 10 of
a stroke.

violation by Pendergrass. The informa
tion will be used to determine if
Pendergrass's action was appropriate
or excessive, Dunn said. He said the
SBI will handle the situation like any
other case.
"The information is gathered as it is
in any other homicide," Dunn said.
The findings of the SBI will be sub
mitted to Orange-Chatham District At
torney Carl Fox, who will determine if
charges need to be filed.
Fox said Monday night that he looked
at the evidence and that the SBI would
have to show more substantial evidence
to warrant the fil ing of a criminal charge
against Pendergrass.
North Carolina law permits police
officers to defend themselves if being
attacked, officials said Sunday.
Bill Dowdy, chief of investigations
at the SBI, said he hopes the evidence
for the investigation will be gathered
and completed quickly. Dunn said that
the SBI is waiting for autopsy reports
from the Medical Examiner's Office at
UNC Hospitals.
We certainly hope to complete it
this week or next week," Dowdy said.
Bibbs said the games would rota
Bibbs said the games would rotate
to a different campus each spring.
Events would include tennis, table
tennis, track, field events, basketball,
volleyball and possibly bowling.
Bibbs, who also is a non-voting
member of the Board of Governors,
proposed the games at a BOG meeting
in September. The BOG Committee
on Educational Policies and Programs
approved the proposal in November.
Bibbs said he hoped the games
would become an annual event by the
spring of 1993.

Referees will be volunteers, and

not going to take a lot of money be

He said people exhibiting negative

Those responding to the study's ad

concerns for the environment, those that
need the money or those supplementing
other jobs, Dolan said. He added that a

A cappella group puts on dramatic concert depicting
rehearsal, costume choosing for 'future' performance
It was spectacular even without the
spectacle.
In their concert Saturday night, the
Carol inaTar Heel Voices refrained from
using bright lights, extensive props and
the glitter and glow that usually accom
pany special events. Instead, they used
their voices and their bodies to produce
a spectacular performance of dramatics
and song.
The concert, held in Old Playmaker's
Theatre, was performed before a full
house. The group of 18 students set the
stage and the performance as simply a
rehearsal.This technique introduced the
audience to the personalities behind the
voices, creating an exciting and eye
opening effect. In between deciding
solos and costumes for the spring se
mester and the performance that was
underway, the group casually broke into
song.
One of the main strengths behind this
group is energy. Appearing before a
crowd more excited than the fans at the
UNC-USC football game, the group
produced electricity that transformed a
choral concert into an event. Endurance
moves tissue from the lungs, for EPA
studies over a five-year period.
Thompson said he was motivated to
participate in the studies by "a mixture
of concerns for the environment and
concerns for my checking account."
Another study at UNC involves the
search for a new drug treatment for

with their daily lifes.

and talent were exposed throughout the
nearly two-hour show as the Tar Heel
Voices moved, grooved and bopped to
the beat.
And the beat was their own. With
no accompaniment other than a pitch
pipe to give cues, the group had to
produce sound effects along with melo
dies and harmonies within the songs.
The result was impressive and fun.
Bill Buchanan conducted the group
through selections from pop to spiri
tual, from the Mamas and the Papas to
James Taylor to Prince. As songs such
as "Starfish and Coffee," "Carry on My
Wayward Son" and "Nothing Compares

knew what to expect from this multi
