Residents lobby

Staff Writer
Despite assurances that it is for their
own good, third-floor Joyner residents
are protesting the University 's policy of
locking the bathroom doors in all-female
residence halls.
"I don't think that women should
have to live their lives in fear," said
Dawn Morgado, head resident assis
tant. "This is making women cooperate
in their own oppression."
Bathroom doors on all-male and coed
floors are not locked, she said. All
female floors in coed resident halls also
do not have locked bathrooms.
Morgado's residents have been told
not to interfere with the locking mecha-
Education
program
gets axed
By Steve Politi
University Editor
School of Education officials have
decided to stop offering undergraduate
teaching degrees in high-school-level
social studies, one of the school's highly
demanded programs.
Shortages of faculty members and of
jobopenings for high school social stud
ies teachers prompted education school
officials to halt the program, Dean
Donald Stedman said Wednesday.
"We're trying to get a much better
handle on our operations," Stedman said.
"We have too many programs for the
faculty we have. Some have to go.
"We just don't have the horses. Until
we have the horses, we can't have the
programs."
Dixie Spiegel, assistant dean of stu
dents in the school, said 30 percent of
the program's graduates did not And
jobs. "We would be remiss in preparing
folks for a marketplace that doesn't
have any jobs."
Stedman emphasized that the mora
torium would affect only freshmen, who
have not declared their major. But Mark
Kleinschmidt, a senior social studies
education major, disagreed.
"There's no way, no matter what the
dean says, that it's not going to reflect
on me," Kleinschmidt said. "I'm going
to have to spend special time in job
interviews explaining why my credibil
ity hasn't been tarnished because the
program doesn't exist any more."
Mamie Broadhurst, an N.C. Teach
ing Fellow, said 16 of the 60 freshman
N.C. fellows were planning to study
social studies.
Teaching Fellows are awarded full
scholarships for attending the educa
tion school and spending their first four
years after graduation teaching in North
Carolina.
"This is messing around with our
lives," Broadhurst said, adding that fel
lows had agreed to dedicate eight years
of their lives to the program. "We've
already committed ourselves to some
thing as we thought they did."
She added that several students were
willing to drop their scholarships if
school officials didn't agree to allow
freshmen to major in the program.
Allan Brandhorst, the school's pro
fessor who teaches social studies, said
whether he would keep hisjob was "still
an open question."
"I haven't had any direct conversa
tion with the dean at this point,"
Brandhorst said. "It's my understand
ing that this is a decision he made on his
own. I really don't know."

A ban on parties in the Great Hall

on black campus organizations be

"This is protectionism of women,"
she said. "(The residents of my hall) are
adults and have the ability to make their
own choices."
But University Housing Director
Wayne Kuncl said, "It's not a matter of
choice it's a matter of liability and
risk management."
The residents of third-floor Joyner
have used tacks and tissue paper to keep
their bathroom doors open all year,
Morgado said. She was first informed
that they were not allowed to do so
earlier this semester.
"This is not a written policy," she
said. "There is nothing (the residents)
signed their names to."

Committee approves drilling
on proposed landfill locations
By Jennifer Brett
Staff Writer
Members of the Landfill Search Com
mittee voted 6-5 Wednesday night to
drill on four potential landfill sites as
the initial phase of geotechnical site
evaluation.
Locations to be evaluated are Site 2,
located near the Cane Creek reservoir.
Sites 9 and 11, located near the Eno
River State Park, and Site 17, located
near Duke Forest.
Although the LSC meeting was not a
public hearing, about 300 peoplepacked
the Chapel Hill High School audito
rium to voice their concerns regarding
individual sites and the site selection
process.
"You have no process" and "Dis

ments crowd hecklers shouted during
the two-hour meeting.
In response to crowd comments re

LSC member Thomas Warren said
farms near the proposed site generated
more pollution than a landfill would.
"If Site 1 1 is picked, a state-approved
erosion control plan would be imple

Rioting in the Student Union during

they would continue to tack the doors
open despite orders not to.
In a meeting last week with Area
Director Suzie Orr and Assistant Direc

of Morgado's hall discussed the policy
of keeping their bathroom doors locked.
A primary complaint from the resi

"I don't think we're ever going to
reach a consensus," Kubacki said. "No
one seems willing to compromise. Until
we have additional data, what are we
going to base our decision on?"
Each site has advantages and disad
vantages, and the LSC should not make
a final decision until it receives objec

said.
LSC member Nina Baird echoed
Kubacki's sentiments, adding that the
committee could add additional sites if
all four sites under active consideration
proved unsuitable.
"Idon'thave any geotechnical data,"
Baird said. "I feel like we're short

Gregory McLeod came to Carolina
two years ago, and like all freshmen, he
left much behind. Christian worship
was one of those things.
"I wasn't involved in any religious
group, and I lost part of my identity,"
McLeod said. "Part of my identity is
being a Christian."
Now, McLeod serves as president of
the newly formed Black Interdenomi
national Student Association, and he
worships regularly.

Crotty said the housing department
decided to install locks on the bath
rooms of all-female residence halls
about three years ago. A series of inci
dents, which included a man pulling a
curtain aside as a woman was shower
ing and another man attempting to touch
a woman in a shower, prompted the
change, she said.
"Unfortunately, you've been think
ing that you had a choice," Crotty told
the residents. "The level of risk is not
based on how you feel, but on statis
tics." Lynn Ritchie, a third-floor Joyner
resident, pointed out that the current
locks would make it much harder for a

would be contacted by letters request
ing permission to drill. If denied access
to site areas, the LSC could obtain state
permission to proceed, he said.
Some members disputed the LSC
decision to remove Site 3, located near
Duke Forest, from the list of active
candidate sites.
The LSC several weeks ago presented
Sites 3 and 17 to the Landfill Owners
Group for final consideration, but Site 3
later was dropped from consideration.
State regulations mandated removal
of Site 3 because of its proximity to
Horace Williams Airport and the poten
tial hazards it would pose to area wild
life. "It's absolutely fascinating to me that
birds seem to be more important than
water," said LSC member Walter
Faribault.
The committee should consider ask
ing the state for a waiver that would
allow them to return Site 3 to the active
candidate list, he said.

screaming or sounds of a scuffle in the
bathroom would alert the whole hall.

we are at greater risk for some things,

more," a Joyner resident said.
But Joyner resident Tonia Lea said:
"I would feel much better if the doors
were locked. I really believe that some
thing could happen."
Ritchie said, "I think we're old

Judge
on dismissal
of rape -trial.
By Warren Hynes
Sports Editor
HILLSBOROUGH After almost
two full days of trial, the defense intro
duced a motion Wednesday to dismiss
the case against a University student
charged with first-degree rape.
Orange County Superior Court Judge
F. Gordon Battle will decide at 9:30
a.m. today whether to terminate the
case against Carmen Edward Catullo.
The motion for dismissal was intro
duced at 4 p.m. after a day in which all
eight of the prosecution's witnesses had
taken the stand, including the accuser
and an expert witness from UNC's Stu
dent Psychological Services.
Catullo, 22, of 1-3 Kingswood Apart
ments is a UNC student and a former
member of the school's wrestling team.
He was suspended from the team after
he was charged Sept. 25.
Because decisions concerning dis
missals are made by the judge, jury
members were released when the mo
tion for dismissal was made.
Marilyn Ozer, an assistant to Barry
Winston, Catullo's attorney, told Battle:
"As the state has failed to present sub
stantial evidence of force, has failed to
present substantial evidence of clearly
expressed non-consent and has failed to
present evidence of serious physical
injury, the charges against the defen
dant should be dismissed."
Battle told Orange-Chatham District
Attorney Carl Fox and Winston that he
wouldconsiderthe motion for dismissal
during the overnight recess. "I do find it
a troublesome matter," Battle said.
Wednesday morning, the defense
cross-examined the accuser, a 19-year-old
UNC student who left school last
month on a medical withdrawal. Win
ston questioned her about apparent in
consistencies in information she had
given to a doctor, a social worker and
police officials. For most of the ques
tions, the accuser said she was not cer
tain of what information she provided.
"For the past seven months, I've met
a lot of people," she said. "I don't really
remember exact statements."
Winston asked the accuser if, on the
night of the reported rape, she ever used
the words "Carmen, I do not want to
have sex with you" or "Carmen, I will
not have sex with you." The accuser
said she did not use those words. She
said she continually told Catullo she

Founded in 1981, BISA began as a
basic campus ministry, like the Baptist
Student Union or the Newman Center.
The following year, when the leader
ship graduated, BISA dissolved. This
fall, Jo Watson, one of the founding
members of BISA 1 1 years ago, initi
ated the reestablishment of the organi
zation. Watson, an ordained minister in
the Eastern North Carolina Associa
tion, Southern Conference United
Church of Christ, serves as BISA's co
ordinator and chaplain, leading BISA's
religious services.

with the possibility that someone might
be victimized."
Joyner resident Kasi Jackson said, "I
don't feel that you're responsible for
me, and I don't want you to feel respon
sible for me."
Many residents questioned why the
bathroom doors in coed and all-male
halls did not have locks. Joyner resident
Jen Morgan said, "I feel like they're
saying that women can't take care of
themselves unless there are men
around."
Kuncl said: "My experience leads
me to believe that women have a greater
level of risk than men. We were not

wanted to go home.
Winston asked the accuser about the
time she spent sitting on the apartment
steps after the reported incident. She
said she remembered a man named Todd
whom she had seen earlier in the
night approach her on the apartment
steps. After asking if she was OK, Todd
offered her use of his phone, and she
accepted, she said.
Todd was identified as Todd Hartung,
also a UNC student and a member of the
school's wrestling team.
The accuser said that while in
Hartung's apartment, he made amorous
advances on her and tried to kiss her.
She said she used Hartung's phone and
rested on his bed. She said that when
Hartung said he was going to sleep, she
got up from his bed and left because she
did not want to lie next to him.
Hartung was the next to testify for the
prosecution and said in cross-examination
that the accuser never had lain
down on his bed and that he never had
invited her to spend the night with him.
Also testifying in the trial was Elaine
Barney, acertifiedclinical social worker
at UNC's Student Psychological Ser
vices. Barney counseled the accuser for
about five months after the reported
rape.
When Barney testified that the ac
cuser was suffering from post-traumatic
stress disorder, the defense objected on
the grounds that Barney had not been
informed enough about the accuser's
life to make a PTSD diagnosis.
Battle ruled that Barney could testify
only on the symptoms consistent with
PTSD. "I'm not going to let her testify
that she made the diagnosis of PTSD,"
Battle said.
Winston questioned Barney about
her notes, which on at least three
occasions mentioned that the ac
cuser had been raped and assaulted by
more than one man. Barney said the
notes she kept had been dictated at first
and then typed, and that mistakes were
made on occasion.
But Barney said her notes were cor
rect in stating that there were multiple
assailants. The men who reportedly
watched the rape committed sexual as
sault, Barney said.
"Rape is a form of sexual assault,"
she said. "But another form of sexual
assault is being present when your team
member rapes another person, and you
do nothing about it."
