School won't see Duke funds SOON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DURHAM Doris Duke bequeathed $10 million to Duke University, but it could be years before the school can use one of its largest gifts in recent years. A spokesman for the estate said it will likely take between three and five years for the will to clear probate court because of legal challenges posed by Chandi Heffner, an adult companion Duke adopted in 1988 and later disowned.

Duke died Thursday at 80, leaving an estate valued at $1.2 billion. She left nearly all her money to charitable causes, but gave $10 million with no strings attached to the university bearing her family's name. The gift represented less than 1 percent of her estate. "Miss Duke's bequest continues the remarkable philanthropic tradition of the Duke family to Duke University," university President Nan Keohane said in a written statement. "She was very generous throughout her life to many important causes, including the university." The $10 million gift, Doris Duke's largest to the university, equals that of Charlotte grocery magnate Leon Levine in 1991 for a new research complex, but is smaller than that of Atlanta financier J.B.

Fuqua in 1980 to Duke's School of Business. Doris Duke gave $2 million to the Duke University Medical Center last month for AIDS research, her first public acknowledgement of the university in decades. She had anonymously supported other programs at campus through the Activists critical of public radio station THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAPEL HILL Public radio's largest station in North Carolina is under attack for being too conservative.

Prosecutors trying new carjacking law THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH Federal prosecutors are using a new anticarjacking law in a local assault case and the defendants could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted. Under the law passed last year by Congress, prosecutors could seek stiff penalties against two brothers charged in the carjacking, rape and beating of a Raleigh woman, authorities said Monday. If convicted under the law, Jarmal and Bobby Myers of Raleigh would face mandatory life sentences. The woman, a 23-year-old part-time student, was abducted from a gas station at Person and Peace Streets on Thursday night and left for dead on a dark North Raleigh road, police said.

She was moved Monday from the intensive care unit to a private room at Wake Medical Center, where FBI agents and Raleigh police detectives questioned her at length for the first time, Raleigh Police Lt. Don Turnage said. FBI Agent Al Koehler confirmed Monday that FBI agents worked with Raleigh police on the carjacking all weekend. "Police and the FBI are trying to make it a case under the carjacking statute," Koehler said. IN MEMORY OF WILLIAM E.

In the mid1920s, James Buchanan Duke's millions established Duke University out of Durham's Trinity College, and the Duke Endowment, the Charlotte-based philanthropy estimated to be worth $1.25 billion. Doris Duke left no money to the Duke Endowment, which gives money to schools, colleges and hospitals in North Carolina and South Carolina. Instead, she set up the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, which would rival her father's if the will is approved. Although she was the head of the endowment's trustees, Duke shied away from its meetings in later years, maintaining limited contact with members. A spokesman said the new foundation would be among the nation's 12 largest, The Herald-Sun of Durham reported.

Duke family members greeted the news of the foundation enthusiastically. "I think it's absolutely fabulous," Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans, a trustee of the Duke Endowment and Doris Duke's cousin, told The News Observer of Raleigh. "I can't think of anything better than for Miss Duke to follow in the family tradition of Washington Duke and his two sons." But Hefner's claim throws the entire will into probate court. Also at stake is the $170 million Doris Duke Trust, set up at the death of James B. Duke for Doris Duke, her "direct lineal descendants," and her cousins.

In Memory of Betty B. Garrett November 19, 1901 November 3, 1992 Dear Mother and Grandmother: To some you may have been forgotten to others a part of the past But to us who loved and lost you, your memory will always last. May you always walk in sunshine, God's love around you glow, for the happiness you gave to us no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, for a part of us went with you, the day God took you home. Your memory is our keepsake with that we will never part, God has you in His keeping But we have you in our hearts.

We will always love and miss you, 26153-39 Love, Your Family tion in escrow until the station addresses its concerns. The account is in the works and will not be ready for WUNC-FM's on-air fall pledge drive, which starts Thursday. "We're trying to put the public back in public radio," David Kirsh, of the Carrboro-based BA.J, told The News Observer of Raleigh. The coalition, which includes such groups the People's Alliance and the N.C. Hunger Network, sent a letter to the station in September seeking local news coverage with a broader range of perspectives, a local call-in talk show, and a more accessible Community Advisory Council.

It also suggested four alternative news shows. WUNC-FM station manager Bill Davis met with members of the coalition in September. He said he agrees with some of BAT's suggestions most notably that the station needs to have more public input and plans to implement them. Among public radio stations, WUNC-FM has the second-largest market share in the nation..
