.Presidential candidates clash in t. Loiiis
Bush, Clinton, Perot trade quips,
ideas in first presidential debate
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS Bill Clinton and Presi
dent Bush clashed over character and
the economy Sunday night in a bristling
three-way debate with Ross Perot.
From taxes to crime to AIDS to for
eign policy, the three men grappling for
the White House outlined differing vi
sions in a 90-minute debate.
In his first major campaign appear
ance, Perot was a flamboyant partici
pant, providing a series of one-liners
and offering himself as an outsider who
could shake up the system.
Clinton said he represented hope for
"real change," and turned to Bush to
add: "For 12 years you've had it your
way, you've had your chance, and it
didn't work."
Bush answered, "Change for
change's sake isn't enough," and re
called the economic woes the last time
the Democrats held the White House.
Perot said, "We do have to have
change," saying that the first priority
should be to rebuild the nation's job
base and pointing out his experience as
a hard-charging business leader.
The debate kicked off a climactic
nine-day period in the campaign for the
White House, and the stakes were high,
especially for Bush who trailed Clinton
in the national polls, and for Perot, who

A Durham man was arrested Friday
by Chapel Hill police in connection
with three rapes and kidnappings that
occurred in Chapel Hill this summer.
George Inghram, 29, of 2706 Welton
Terrace, Durham, was arrested Friday
and charged with three counts of first
degree rape, according to Chapel Hill
police reports.
Inghram also was charged with three
counts of first-degree kidnapping, po
lice reports stated.
Police also are continuing their search
for another man in the kidnapping and
rape cases, Chapel Hill police spokes
woman Jane Cousins said Sunday.
The three cases are the same, Cous
ins said.
In each case, two men driving a red
car offered a ride to a woman.
"One (victim) got in voluntarily, and
the other two were taken at gun point,"
Cousins said.
The men then took each of the vic
tims to University Station on Weaver
Dairy Road and raped them, Cousins
said.
The women were raped at about three
week intervals.
The first kidnapping and rape oc
curred June 24, according to Chapel
Hill police reports.
The second kidnapping and rape oc
curred July 15, and the third took place
Aug. 1, police reports stated.
Inghram was found and arrested in
Durham, Cousins said.
The arrest was a result of good detec
tive work, she added.
Inghram's mother refused to com
ment on her son's arrest Sunday.
"I just really don't want to talk about
it."

There were no knockout punches in
the debate, leaving the campaigns free
to put their best face forward afterward.
Clinton's running mate, Sen. Al Gore,
quipped that Bush had finished "fourth,"
behind Clinton, Perot and moderator
Jim Lehrer. White House chief of staff
James Baker said the president had made
"a mature presentation."
The opening moments were highly
charged, with Bush bluntly criticizing
Clinton for anti-war activities while
studying overseas at Oxford University
during the Vietnam war. Bush held out
his service during World War II in con
trast. Clinton responded directly to Bush,
who seemed not to return his gaze.
"When Joe McCarthy went around this
country attacking people's patriotism,
he was wrong," said Clinton. "Your
father (Prescott Bush) wasright to stand
up to Joe McCarthy.
"You were wrong to attack my pa

my country," he said to applause from
his partisans in the audience.
Clinton made several references to

Festifall escapes rain, entertains crowd

Early morning clouds Sunday
threatened to rain out Festifall for the
second week in a row.
But by opening time, the weather
hadcleared.andSunday'sfaironWest
Franklin Street was in motion.
Festifall, fall's counterpart to
spring's Apple Chill, brought people
from all over to share in a day of arts,
crafts, food and entertainment.
Some thought the location was good,
while others thought East Franklin
Street would have been more suitable.
Courtney Hill, a sophomore at
Chapel Hill High School, said, "I like
it better when it's on the other side
because there is more room."
But Katina Capers, a 20-year-old
Chapel Hill resident, disagreed with
Hill.
"I like it better up this way," Capers
said. "It's more calm down here."
Susan Longiotti, a resident of
Chapel Hill, has attended Festifall ev
ery year for the past six years. She said
she thought that it was better than last
year's fairbut that it still was not great.
"There were too many special inter
est groups and not enough fun things,"
Longiotti said.
Planned Parenthood, the Wildlife
Federation and candidates for U.S.
Congress and Orange County Com
missioners were some of the groups
represented at Festifall.
Bill Luckey, a representative of
Planned Parenthood, thought the fair
was a good opportunity for people to
explore different views.
"It was good visibility and a chance
to educate and to inform the public,"
Luckey said.
Chapel Hill resident Lisa Linn, 23,
also commented on the special interest

Among Spangler's known assets are
more than 8 million shares of stock in

Spangler also developed the Golden

the 1980s. He used that money to invest
in more than 2 million shares of R.J.

By Anna Griffin

The black cultural center working
group will meet today resolute in its
goal to create a new center but without
members of the coalition for a free
standing BCC, according to leaders of
the committee.
"My own understanding is that (coa
lition members) won't be participating,
that they continue to say they want to
wait until the chancellor has announced
support for a free-standing center," said
Provost Richard McCormick. "My ex
pectation is that we will be meeting
without them."
The group will meet today for the
third time at 2 p.m. in the U.N. ballroom
of the Carolina Inn. The meeting, which
is open to the public, is expected to last
about four hours.
