Bury said he was relieved campaigning was over, but "not necessarily elated, because someone had to lose." He added he and Cooley ran a positive campaign, but said he was disappointed with voter turn-ou- t. A total of 1,831 ballots were cast, compared to last year's 2,007 votes. Kent Hyde, elections registrar, said t was lower than in the past . three years.

Mark Zelig said Afeaki was driving eastbound on 400 South. He was turning right on to 800 East from the righthand lane when a newer model Honda CRX attempted a righthand turn from the center lane. According to Afeaki's statement to the police, the driver then proceeded to follow them at a distance of three or four feet. Police identify the suspect as a white male in his 30s. Afeaki, in his police statement, described the car as being blue or gray in color with a racing stripe on the side. Majerus said that Afeaki was probably through with basketball for the year, but that was of little consequence considering the circumstances. "Two or three inches either way and Paul could have died," Majerus said. "Our concern is for his safety, his wife's safety his child's safety." Afeaki scored six points, pulled down two rebounds and had two assists in 12 minutes of playing time against Wyoming Thursday night. On the year the native of Nukualofa, was Tonga averaging 6.8 points and 3.6 rebounds. exception and started to tailgate the Afeakis.

CHRONICLE PHOTOEarl Cline Police arrest vehicle burglary suspects By Susan Williams Chronicle Staff Writer radar detectors, compact disk players, sound systems and personal belongings from the During the past two weeks at the University of Utah, police suspects. The two areas on campus which have been hit hardest by car burglaries are the Residence have arrested 13 vehicle burglary suspects, U. police said. Brad Buckmiller, U. detective, said the arrests have resulted in in $8,000 approximately recovered property. The 13 arrests were made in five separate instances. Three of the suspects are confirmed gang members and eight are juveniles. 44 serious Altogether, and 16 citations misdemeanor felony counts were filed against the suspects, Buckmiller said. Police have confiscated stereos, Halls and University Village. Some vehicle burglaries were also reported in the Merrill Engineering Building parking lot and the U. Health Sciences Center, he said. Over 50 car burglaries have occurred in 1991, he added. Chuck Cockayne, Salt Lake City police sergeant, said warm weather contributes to a rise in vehicle burglaries in the Salt Lake area. Because juveniles commit most of these offenses, weekends suffer the greatest because number of car break-in- s school is out of session. High-ris- k areas are oftentimes large parking areas which have no security or are poorly lit, Cockayne said. "I find those to be probably the most attractive to people." Also, people don't become suspicious in these areas because it is not unusual to see people walking through these places, he said. However, concerned citizens, neighbors and car alarms calling the police to report suspicious activities is extremely helpful, he said. Alert neighbors are often helpful because vehicle burglars often return to the same areas. Vehicle burglars also head for certain car types, he said. Expensive cars are often targeted because the merchandise inside is often expensive also. Some burglars steal items to put inside their own cars, while most of them are "looking to get the item for profit." In the downtown area, parking for concerts and sporting games often attract vehicle burglars as do shopping center lots and other private lots, he said. About three of four burglaries pccur every weekend in the city. Wayne Shepherd, U. police chief, said the U. is having a lot of vehicle burglaries, but many suspects are also being arrested, for a large part due to people reporting suspicious circumstances.
