Members of the black cultural center
working group and the BCC Advisory
Board reached an agreement Monday
to combine their efforts with members
of the provost's blue-ribbon panel join
ing the advisory board's facilities and
planning committee to discuss plans for
a new, free-standing center.
Black Awareness Council members
also tentatively removed their Nov. 13
deadline for a decision from Chancellor
Paul Hardin to support and designate a
site for a free-standing BCC.
The BCC supporters arrived at the
meeting, which was held in the Caro

After more than an hour of hilarity
and crazy antics Monday night, Bryan
Tucker was named Mr. UNC 1992,
defeating competitors Shawn Krest,
Chris Miller and Patrick Dillon for the
coveted crown.
Tucker, a senior from Richmond,
Va., was sponsored by UNC Student
Television and is a member of the
comedy troupe Selected Hilarity.
Tucker amused the audience of ap
proximately 50 with stand-up humor
routines and UNC spirit, joking about
everything from couples at the State
Fair to McDonald's food.
"Have you guys seen those State
fans at the fair?" he questioned. "Their
definition of romantic commitment is
like matching air-brush T-shirts."
Miller, a biology major from Shelby
sponsored by the Black Student Move
ment, was named first runner-up in the
contest. For the talent competition, he
performed a native African dance.
Contestants competed in three ar
eas: original cheers, improvisational
answers and talent. The purpose of the
contest was to find the man with the
best sense of UNC spirit.
Judges included Ayo Anthony, a
member of the women's track team;
Ben Joyner, 1992 orientation leader
co-coordinator; Elizabeth Mitchell,
senior class vice president; Sebastian
Shipp, president of the BSM Gospel
Choir; and Peter Wallsten, editor of
The Daily Tar Heel.

Informant: Larger reward deserved

The Tar Heel Taxi driver who turned
in the man charged with raping a stu
dent in Granville Towers earlier this
semester said Monday he would press
Orange County Crime Stoppers and fed
era! officials to give him the reward that
the groups advertised.
Frank Boardman, who drove Hildred
Manuel Lyles to the Tar Heel Motel,
received a $50 reward from the local
Crime Stoppers and a $500 reward from
federal marshals after calling Chapel
Hill police and identifying Lyles as the
man he drove to the motel.
: But Boardman said Monday that he
thought he should receive the rewards
advertised by the agencies. The Orange
County Crime Stoppers advertised a
reward up to $1,200 and the U.S. fed
eral marshals advertised a $5,000 re
ward on fliers, Boardman said.

The move toward cooperation comes
on the heels of Hardin's announcement
last week that he supports the working

Harold Wallace, vice chancellor for
University affairs and chairman emeri
tus of the BCC Advisory Board, made a
statement on behalf of the board, thank
ing the working group for its support of
a free-standing building. Wallace also
invited the panel to designate several of
its members to work with the advisory
board's facilities and planning commit

future," Wallace said.

Lyles, 22, was arrested and charged
with first-degree rape Aug. 30 in con

Granville Towers. The rape occurred in
the early morning hours of Aug. 29,
following Lyles' escape from Guilford
County Jail in High Point.
Boardman said he had "swallowed
his anger" for about a month and a half
about the rewards, but a story in
Sunday's edition of the Chapel Hill
Herald pushed him to come forward.
The story covered the Orange County
Crime Stoppers and mentioned the Lyles
case as a recent example of the success
of the Crime Stoppers program.
"All of this would have been a dead '
issue if it were not for last Sunday's
palpably dishonest attempt by Crime
Stoppers to use the episode for fund

Wallace said the committee, work

would develop a proposal for the center
to be taken to Hardin and, upon ap

The working group unanimously ac

McCormick said a plan approved by

Boardman said he earlier had aban

pers about the reward, but changed his
mind after reading the article.
"It's dishonest to pay somebody $50
and then use their case as an example of
fine work," Boardman said.
Although Boardman said he would
not file a lawsuit, he said he would push
the agencies to reconsider his reward.
"My privacy now sacrificed, I intend
to press both Crime Stoppers and the
Department of Justice for the full extent
of their rewards," he said. "They've
scandalized themselves to the point
where I want to go after them."
Boardman said he spoke with Chapel

the situation early Monday but said
Horton did not give him a icsponse.

Economy, integrity themes
of final presidential debate
The Associated Press
EAST LANSING, Mich. Presi
dent Bush mounted an animated attack
on Bill Clinton ' s integrity and economic
proposals Monday night in a jousting,
climactic campaign debate. After 12
years of Republican rule, Clinton said,
"We can do much better if we have the
courage to change."
Bush predicted the Democrat would
"sock it to the middle class" if elected,
but Clinton pledged instead that he was
"not going to raise taxes on the middle
class to pay" for his initiatives, looking
for spending cuts elsewhere, or if nec
essary, deferring his proposals.
Bush, running an underdog race for
re-election, worked to raise doubts about
Clinton on taxes, emission standards
and the Vietnam draft in a final show
down with his Democratic rival and
Ross Perot.
Perot stressed his businessman's
background in pledging to wrestle gov
ernment gridlock and solve economic
problems. He said he was spending $60
million of his own fortune on his inde
pendent bid for the White House and
announced the time slots for a blitz of
campaign ads to come.
The debate had its share of sharp
exchanges, and at one point Bush re
ferred to Arkansas as the "lowest of the
low." That drew a quick retort from
Hunt sets goals for improving
By Jason Richardson
Assistant State and National Editor
Democratic N.C. gubernatorial can
didate Jim Hunt outlined his plan for
improving state government and
strongly emphasized the need for better
education in a speech to UNC students
Monday.
About 300 students gathered at South
Building to hear Hunt describe his
agenda.
The rally, co-sponsored by Students
for Jim Hunt and the UNC Young Demo
crats, was an opportunity for the former
N.C. governor to tell UNC students his
views on the issues prevalent in the
1992 campaign.
"This is a historic year, you all,"
Hunt said. "America has been drifting
now for 12 years, and North Carolina
has not been doing its best for eight
years.
"We can do better. We need to have
specific goals, a specific plan," Hunt
said, referring to his "Agenda for Ac
tion" packet.
Hunt then outlined four goals that
North Carolina needed to achieve in the
next few years.
"We need to build in this state of
North Carolina ... an economy based
on high-skill, high-wage jobs," Hunt
said.
Hunt also pointed out that the North
American Free Trade Act would send
many American low-wage jobs to
Mexico. "Our challenge is to build ...
an economy that has a very bright, cre
ative, innovative work force," Hunt said.
"It's high-skill (jobs) that pay high
wages and salaries," he said.
Hunt said that early day care and
education were important to revamping
the state's condition. "We have to have
an education system that is very, very
good."
North Carolina needs to develop a
program that helps children start off
well in life, Hunt said. "One of the
things that is wrong is that our children
come to school having been neglected
or abused, and they are not ready to
learn.
to nom
Bradley said. "The deadline will be
reactivated if our leaders continue to be
attacked."
BCC supporters have said that the
position of BCC Director Margo
Crawford had been threatened by fac
ulty members and others within Uni
versity administration. Crawford her
self told reporters last week that she
believed Chuck Stone, UNC journal
ism professor, had tried to have her
fired.
Bradley added that the working group
must publicly recognize the advisory
board's role as the governing body for
planning and programming of the new
center.
McCormick later said he would write
a statement about the new agreement
Clinton, who has served five terms as
governor.
Bush played the role of the underdog
aggressor throughout the 90-minute
debate, and it was surely his best debate
performance of the year. His principal
theme, delivered over and over again,
was that on issues as diverse as free
trade and the Persian Gulf War, Clinton
had a pattern of "trying to have it all
ways" by refusing to take a firm stand.
When the president raised the ques
tion of trust, Clinton took note of sev
eral "broken pledges" in Bush's past,
including the "No new taxes" pledge
Bush uttered in 1 988 and broke in 1990.
It was the last in an eight-day series
of debates that began with Clinton ahead
in the race-for the White House and
ended with Bush still searching for a
breakthrough. And Perot for a miracle.
There were no obvious gaffes of the
type that could doom a campaign. Nei
ther did any of the candidates dominate
in a way that would suggest an over
night turnaround in the polls. The most
recent surveys showed Clinton hover
ing slightly below 50 percent in a three
way race, Bush getting slightly more
than a third of the vote, and Perot lag
ging far behind.
An ABC poll taken immediately af
ter the debate made Clinton out to be the
winner, 36 percent, to 26 percent for
Jim Hunt speaks to students in
"We must develop quality day care
for every child in North Carolina who
needs it," Hunt said. "We must use

statement probably would be written

and the BCC to have faith in the inten
tions of the working group. "If we can't

percent called it a tie, and the rest didn't
know.
A panel of debate coaches who judged
the contest for The Associated Press
called Bush a one-point winner, 126 to
Clinton's 125 and Perot's 122. Two
judges called Bush the winner, two
called Clinton the winner, and the fifth
saw it as a Bush-Perot tie.
In their closing comments, all three
men stripped their appeals to the essen
tials. Clinton praised Perot for stressing
the importance of the deficit and paid
tribute to Bush for his service to the
nation.
"I wish him well," he said of the
president, "1 just believe it' time for a
change."
Bush said the election comes down
to "who has the judgment and the expe
rience, and yes, the character" to serve
in the Oval Office. "I need your sup
port; I ask for your vote," he said.
Perot said that he alone among the
candidates had created jobs and man
aged money and that those characteris
tics made him the one for the economic
recovery task at hand. 'Tonight is just
the beginning," Perot said.
