6 Tuesday, February 18, 2003 European Leaders Give Iraq Last Warning, No Deadline The Associated Press BRUSSELS, Belgium - European leaders, trying to end their bitter dispute over Iraq, warned Saddam Hussein on Monday that he faces a “last chance” to disarm, but gave no deadline and said U.N. weapons inspectors must have more time to finish their work. The statement came at the end of a European Union emergency summit on the crisis with Baghdad. Diplomats insisted that they had healed the rift over U.S. calls for military action. But significant divisions remained, with some states saying the United Nations still could disarm Iraq peacefully. “War is not inevitable. Force should be used only as a last resort. “It is for the Iraqi regime to end this crisis by complying fully with the demands of the (U.N.) Security Council,” the 15 nations said in the joint declaration. That was seen as a setback for Germany, which has opposed war regardless of the circumstances.

It must disarm and cooperate immediate ly and fully. The Iraqi regime alone will be responsible for the consequences if it continues to flout the will of the inter national community and does not take this last chance," the leaders said. While that position will cheer the United States and Britain, which are urging military action, there was still strong support for continued and possi bly increased U.N. weapons inspections. The statement gave no indication of how much longer inspections should continue, but it stated that inspectors could not go on indefinitely without Iraqi cooperation. “They must be given the time and resources that the U.N. Security Council believes they need,” the declaration said. “However, inspections cannot con tinue indefinitely in the absence of full Iraqi cooperation.” France, which has blocked any swift move to military action, insisted that only the U.N. Security Council can han dle the issue. By Randall J.

He also said officers have been advised to be espe cially aware of any suspicious activities. But he added that, “At this point, HBCUS From Page 3 an education. This situation did not change until the civil rights reforms of the 1950 sand 19605, Percy said, when majority-white institutions began opening their doors to minorities. But even today, in a time when rep utable universities such as Harvard University and UNC-Chapel Hill place a premium on diversity, HBCUs are just as important as they were during segregation and Jim Crow, Percy said. “We’re equally as important now, if not more important, than in the past,” he said, adding that access to higher edu- (C)2oo3Tribune Media Services.

It requires that all personnel, students and staff be kept up-to-date on any new devel opments in a crisis situation. The DPS building also has an emer gency center where law enforcement, pub lic safety officials, University officials and the press can receive new information. Other universities also are refraining from sudden changes in their emer gency procedures. Victor Lee, a Stanford University cation still is not equal for black students. “We serve an unrepresented group.” Gretchen Bataille, UNC-system vice president for academic affairs, said HBCUs remain predominantly black in North Carolina because they have a strong tradition in the South and because they have close ties to many communities. There are five HBCUs in the 16-cam pus UNC system - Fayetteville State, Winston-Salem State, N.C. Central, N.C. Agricultural & Technical and Elizabeth City State universities. All five HBCUs have a student body that is at least 77 percent black. “HBCUs provide very good oppor tunities for African-American students,” Bataille said, adding that black students who attend HBCUs attend graduate school more frequently than those who attend majority-white colleges. This, she said, shows that students are getting the mentoring and support they need to mature academically at HBCUs. Melody Pierce, vice chancellor of stu dent affairs at Winston-Salem State, said HBCUs offer black students a comfort able environment where they know they can succeed. “(Black students) come to HBCUs for the programs and the environment,” she said. “They’re in an environment that’s DIVERSITY DIRECTOR From Page 3 UNC’s search for a diversity director began last spring as a regional search but was extended to the national level by fall semester, said Archie Ervin, director of the minority affairs office. “(After) the first search, we weren’t satisfied,” Ervin said. “We didn’t think the candidate pool was what we were looking for.” After reopening the search, the com mittee of students, faculty and staff in charge of reviewing the applications invited about three candidates to cam pus. Ervin said Newsom stood out from the crowd. campus police deputy, said his depart ment is sticking to the comprehensive emergency plan that already is in place. “We have a heightened awareness on campus, but it’s business as usual,” he said. Blowers said large populations, along with the technology and research facili ties at state universities, could attract ter rorist attacks. “There is a lot of research going on in North Carolina, and we are afraid of information falling into the wrong hands,” Blowers said. There is a nuclear reactor at Duke comfortable for them and where their needs will be met.” The small size of most HBCUs also is attractive to many students. “Because of our size, we provide what 1 call the per sonal touch,” Pierce said, adding that students believe they have a better chance to stand out at HBCUs than they would at a larger, majority-white school. N.C. A&T has the largest enrollment of any HBCU with 9,115 students, com pared to more than 26,000 at UNC-CH. “There’s a better chance of being a stu dent leader (at Winston-Salem State) than at N.C. State (University) or Chapel Hill, just because of sheer size," Pierce said. And although they’re expanding their curriculums to remain competitive with other colleges and universities, HBCUs remain an affordable option for black stu dents, many of whom constitute the first generation attending college, she added. “HBCUs are still very affordable institutions,” she said. “We’re still the best buy.” Tuition and fees at UNC-system HBCUs are at least SI,OOO less than at UNC-CH. HBCUs aren’t only open to black stu dents, though. They have diverse stu dent bodies that offer white and other minority students different learning “(Newsom) emerged from the process as a candidate.... She was recommend ed to me as fully meeting the written requirements and recommendations set for the job,” he said. Among the qualifications committee members looked for in the new director were experience in the area of diversity, as well as suitability and fit to the Chapel Hill environment. “I was very pleased when I came to the campus,” Newsom said. “I like students. That was one of the things I was very con cerned about because I love teaching, but I guess this is teaching in another form.” The director of diversity post is new on campus, and Ervin said he hopes Newsom will be able to facilitate com munication and further diversity on Ulljp Daily (Tar Hrel University, and anthrax research is con ducted at N.C. State University. But, he said, universities generally are not hotbeds of terrorist activity. The FBI headquarters in Charlotte has not encountered overwhelming concern from university officials, Blowers said. But Blowers said students still can play a role in preventing terrorist attacks. “Just be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity you may see.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk§unc.edu. environments than they would get at a majority-white college. “Some white students and interna tional students are interested in black colleges because they’re interested in seeing America from a different per spective,” Battle said. Bataille said HBCUs in the UNC sys tem boast highly diverse student bodies. “All the HBCUs have diverse popula tions,” she said. Yet tradition ensures that HBCUs will remain most attractive and important to black students. Pierce said HBCUs have strong bonds to the community. They are places par ents think their children will receive good educations and be safe from the discrim ination, either overt or covert, black stu dents might encounter at other schools. This bond is stronger among families whose members have a history of attending HBCUs, she added. Pierce said graduates feel a sense of commitment to the HBCUs that trans fers to their children with the attitude that the next generation “may not go to the one that their mom or dad went to, but they will go to one.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. campus. “I’m very hopeful ... (Newsom) will help us with better understanding what it is we mean by ‘diversity’ on this cam pus,” he said. When Newsom arrives in April, she said, her first concern will be getting to know the campus, students, faculty and staff. “The first order of business will be to learn the campus and leam the people ... so that I can leam what’s been going on and what needs to be done,” Newsom said. “I want to provide guidance and help to make sure the campus is as wel coming as possible to everyone.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
