Thomas said the skeleton was clothed in jeans shirt and sneakers and appeared to be that of a male of medium build The body had probably been covered with earth and leaves Thomas said some of which had been washed away by rain There was no other identification found at the scene The remains were taken to Chapel Hill for an autopsy by three medical examiners who were called to the scene Monday morning William and Pat Harbour and their son Jason 7 were walking down a dirt road when they came upon the body in a roadside ditch Authorities are checking out two missing-persons reports on file but Thomas said information in the slaying was insufficient to relate to the reports Thomas has called in additional State Bureau of Investigation help to allow Sgt Joel Morris to remain on the

that county officials hope that the project as now designed would meet the needs through the year 2000 and it would if the growth rate continues at the present pace Earlier plans anticipated a greater growth rate than the projected rate on which the plans now are based Commissioners hope to decide whether to go ahead and schedule a referendum in which voters will be asked to approve the proposed $5

decide next Monday whether to proceed as soon as possible with a referendum on a proposed bond issue to help pay for a $76 million jail-courthouse complex A $5 million bond issue is proposed Federal and state officials have been pushing Alamance County for years to replace the present county jail The jail 53 years old is overcrowded and doesn't meet state and federal requirements for security custody and humane treatment of prisoners Area lawyers and officials of the judical system have been pushing for several years for new expanded space for the courts which they say have been cramped for a long time The Alamance County Bar Association in fact re- tained an architect to do preliminary plans for the complex hoping to speed up the planning process if commissioners agreed to move ahead The estimated cost of the complex which will also include new offices for the sheriff's department is about $2 million lower than originally estimated County Manager Larry Scott said in a telephone interview Monday that the price tag has been reduced at their regular mid-month meeting at 7 pm Monday Scott said that if the decision is made Monday night the earliest that a referendum could be held probably would be January or February 1982 Scott said that if the bonds are approved the county could pay off the debt with a 35-cent increase in the county tax rate if the bonds can be sold at an interest rate of 10 percent The current tax rate is 76 cents on $100 valuation of property As plans now stand voters would be asked to vote yes or no on the total project rather than voting separately on the proposal for the new jail and the new courthouse There has been some sentiment for separate votes on each so that only one might be approved by voters rather than tying them together and taking a chance on both being defeated because of sentiment against just one If the complex is approved it would make it possible to consolidate court facilities in one place Offices and courtrooms now are spread out in several buildings The proposal calls for several new courtrooms and additional office space for the probation office district attorney clerk of superior court and the juvenile counselor Lee To Get $500000 Grant SANFORD Lee County will receive a $500000 federal grant to install a water line to serve Deep River School The water line linking the school with the

Housing and Urban Development Lee County officials hope to get the major part of the line installed by the end of this year rroiraraoiiEQE Vote Against Sanford Sought WITH THE PET SET For a long time years really Guy McKee took long walks in the Duke Park area with his dog Tippy She was a fine Gerham shepherd and well-mannered enough to heel as the two of them walked along Of course when they got to the park Tippy had a right rough time Because what she wanted to do was to chase the squirrels Now and then of course Guy would let her break and go after the little fluffy things but there was no hope of ever catching one Tippy knew this as well as Guy But it was all fun and no harm ever done The years slipped by for both Guy and Tippy and then one day Tippy's days ended and for a long time Guy walked alone It never was that much fun again though So after a long time Guy found another German shepherd a dark beauty He called this one Pepper A good name really because Pepper was simply a ball of fire A problem sometime Because Guy always liked a well-mannered dog that would heel properly Pepper though preferred a full charge But Guy kept working with her pulling on the leash trying to make Pepper understand what it was all about There were times too when Guy was just about to give up In fact a couple of years went by with little success Last week though Guy was walking by Duke Park with Pepper at his heels perfectly Guy had the leash in his hands but it on Pepper Just to remind them both how it used to be ByBILLGILKESON Herald Staff Writer A Duke University professor said Monday he intends to seek a faculty vote of no-confidence in President Terry Sanford Peter Klopfer a zoology professor mentioned the move in an interview after a campus on proposal to negotiate with former President Richard Nixon about the location of Nixon's presidential papers at Duke All seven faculty members who spoke at the teach-in opposed the library and most criticized Sanford's methods in pursuing it (The Academic Council a faculty senate has opposed negotiations with Nixon and after the trustees approved negotiations anyway urged that no of Nixon be allowed) But Klopfer went further than the others telling the students that Sanford had sacrificed his credibility as president over the library issue He said that in a letter to thousands of alumni and students Sanford had impugned the motives of faculty opponents of the library in a way reminiscent of Sen Joseph McCarthy In the light of Sanford's behavior Klopfer said question of the Nixon library almost pales to Klopfer said in the interview that he and some other faculty members (whom he would not identify) are preparing a petition for circulation He said there are disagreements over strategy to be worked out with professors who want opposition to the Nixon library to be eclipsed by another issue But for his part Klopfer said he would like to see the petition seek Sanford's resignation And he said others agree He said that Sanford has approached the library issue more like a effective governor of a state and leader of a political than a university president A university operates on thoughtful consensus Klopfer said He said Sanford essentially said he used a nose-thumbing gesture to thoughtful consensus" Klopfer said the library was the second major issue over which Sanford had ignored the faculty the first being the Barchas collection of rare books on medical history Ronald Witt a professor of history gave details of the Barchas affair in a speech at the teach-in He said the university negotiated a contract with Samuel Barchas an Arizona lawyer for his rare collection without getting an independent apprai volved learned of the contract in some cases by accident they began checking to see if the Duke and University of North Carolina libraries already had any of the books which Barchas described as the core of the collection It turned out that they had at least copies of 68 percent of them The university after the professors became involved got out of the contract and made an agreement with the faculty not to accept any special gifts with academic significance without consulting the appropriate faculty members Witt said Both William Anlyan vice president of Duke for health affairs and James Bennett an assistant to Anlyan said Witt's details are not right But they declined to talk much about the affair Bennett characterized it as a negotiation that failed because one party kept asking for more and more until the other party found it was in its interest to back out As for the agreement that the faculty would be consulted on gifts in the future Richard Watson chairman of the Academic Council in 1976 said he can recall a meeting of trustees that year in which then-Chancellor John Blackburn told the trustees that such consultations would be its procedure Blackburn reached in retirement in Florida said he would not comment on the Barchas affair except to say that he regretted that Duke could not get the collection Roger Marshall secretary of the university said trustee minutes do not reveal any agreement with the faculty about consultations Sanford himself interviewed earlier this month about the Barchas affair said he did not put his hand in it at ali except to chide someone in the university for adding the Barchas gift against the goal of the Epoch fund-raising campaign Peter Wood professor of history said the Nixon library must be seen in the light of economic development in the rest of the Durham community where hotel development has been active and some elements have said said that the tourism the library would bring would help create jobs Tourism tends to bring low-paying service jobs to a community Wood said and not much of the money trickles down below the outside corporations that own things He added "It would be Nixon's face on the place mats at the Ivy Room" (Miff HMi ir Jim SMrki) Overflow Crowd Students Sit In Hall To Hear Professor Ronald Witt Speak At Teach-In Monday sal of the collection or an assessment of its research value from Duke faculty members Part of the contract Witt said called for Barchas to be given a $25000 full professorship without being expected to move to Durham The salary would increase in stipulated increments and his wife could succeed to the professorship if he should die before his 70th birthday he said Beyond that he essentially was given control over $100000 a year to enhance the collection Witt said He said these details come from notes he took when he was shown the contract Now he said no one can produce a copy of it When Duke professors in the fields in- 9.
