4 TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2003 EMBEZZLEMENT FROM PAGE 3 “The major factor was that she reconciled (she) reviewed and approved all of her own purchasing transactions,” said Phyllis Petree, director of the Internal Audit Department. Reconciling is the practice of approving purchases. When UNC’s purchasing card program started about five years ago, reconciliations were done online, and several employees did their own. Although newer card owners are prohibited from recon ciling their own transactions, orig RUSH FROM PAGE 3 At a time when fraternities are taking a back seat to other activi ties at UNC Greek enrollment numbers have been decreasing in recent years Gray said the changes will help the Greek system appeal to more students. Fraternities at many colleges nationwide are experiencing simi lar problems, he said. “Fraternities all over the country are under pressure,” Gray said. “Financial pressure, academic pressure, you name it it’s tough for a fraternity to survive.” Part of the reason fraternities are having trouble is because peo ple especially parents think Greek groups focus too much on partying, Gray said. But George Meyer, chairman of the Greek Life Committee of UNC’s Parents Council, said these modifications help change that perception. When parents see that fraternities are allowing students to grow accustomed to academics before entering Greek life, they will Kudzu WERE PREACHER" HERE, NICE THREAPS, \ PICWN' UP f IT'S THE something for the pick up another. ssmeevira [ American’ 1 — 6HU c^n ß / U]LD,WG / BLUES UARP F<sfe LATELy /COIN SAO?[- , l WAY ) SlvlfoiS < yOUKELf, PO6 ,' ITAK.E rr' ySfjN'WR I 7 SACkTo-WE YTuuMOSOb&'j) SfUy —Y \)[ I -THIS ( COMMUNITY .m/y v \ mv Bfzmuu ! f v—_ < 5 / Xtf /-N vf v —"-T —saysvou're / r A % i I A SOOTY / LIPO FOR V 72, I A I frt/vkPatJoß.'

That, Petree said, was changed the morning after the audit depart ment presented its results to the School of Medicine. Since March 12, employees in the school have been restricted from reconciling their own purchases. By April 16, all UNC employees must name one person who will reconcile their transactions for them, establishing a check system to prevent future embezzlement.

The parental, faculty and stu dent support should help increase the number of rushees, Dickson said. A member of Chi Psi, he added that the changes should benefit all fraternities, especially the ones that have decreased in size in recent years. “Over the past 150 years here at Carolina, fraternities have had ups and downs,” Dickson said. “Our goal is to have each house at its tar get level.” He said that changing people’s perceptions of fraternities as exist ing only so that college students can get drunk will help increase membership. “We’re not ‘Animal House,’” Dickson said. “There’s a lot more to it than that.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. -V/- YacketyYack The Yearbook of UNC Would You & Your Friends Like to Appear in the Yearbook FOR FREE!

From Page Three CHILD CARE FROM PAGE 3 and other people I know,” said for mer Student Body President Jen Daum, whose platform champi oned child-care issues. “Especially with undergraduate students, I think good care is hard to find.” Nearly 85 percent of primary caregivers indicated some kind of conflict between child care and school or work at some point, with the most frequent conflicts being situations in which a child was sick. Overall, respondents reported confidence in the safety of child care. Child-care costs varied greatly, averaging to $135 per week, $535 per month and $3,959 per year. “It is often difficult to find good qual ity, and at the same time afford able, child care,” Bacque said. The only child-care option offi- GRANVILLE FROM PAGE 3 gaily parked cars ever}' year but that this marks the first time in several years that there has been a problem with forgery. All Granville residents except freshmen can purchase parking passes for $265 per semester to park in Granville’s private lot. “The passes are individually numbered and assigned to a specif ic car and license plate (to prevent unauthorized parking),” he said. Erny said he cannot comment on the forgery case because it still is under investigation. But he mentioned that this is not the first time a student has forged a park ing pass for the Granville lot. A UNC senior who asked to remain anonymous said he forged a pass for himself and a friend for cially available through the University is Victory Village, which provides care exclusively to children of UNC students, staff, faculty and UNC Hospitals employees. One proposal to help alleviate the University’s child-care situation is the idea of a drop-in care center. To get a picture of how many people would use such a service, committee members placed a ques tion on the survey about it. Seventy percent of respondents said they would use the service, and 30 per cent indicated they would use it three to four times per month. Former Graduate and Professional Student Federation President Branson Page said this response confirms the need for a drop-in care service. “This gives evi dence to why we have been arguing for this service for so long,” he said. The advisory committee will use Granville a few years ago. The student said that the passes were very plain when he knew about forging them but that even if they had a logo, it would not be very difficult to create a forgery. He said the reasoning for mak ing a permit was simple. “People who didn’t live in Granville made those permits because parking was unavailable in Chapel Hill and the buses cost THE Daily Crossword By Gerald R.

Page said the data is important to have before anything can be accom plished. “This is a huge step,” he said. “I think the numbers are jus tification that there is a serious need for child-care services on campus." And attending to this need, Daum said, is vital if UNC wants to be the top school in the country. “If we strive to become the leading public university in the nation and recruit the best students, we need to be aware that some of these stu dents have children,” Daum said. “We need to provide them with the necessary services. That’s the only way we can be competitive.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. money at the time,” he said. However, he said he stopped because there were rumors at the time that people were getting caught for using the fake permits and because he wanted to avoid getting into the kind of trouble the student under investigation has found himself in.

She even has had to take responsibility for making pay ments on her brother’s college loans, which required her to assume his power of attorney. “You don’t know how hard it was,” she said. But, she added, “Sometimes your family is the only one that can help you out in crunch time.” While her brother is deployed, Laura Bonifacio said, he will lose a considerable amount of income but as a health-care worker, he knows his job will be available after returning from Iraq. The situation is similar for pub lic safety workers. The Chapel Hill police officers and firefighters deployed to Iraq will be welcomed back to the office once their serv ice is complete, continuing the sol idarity shown in their absence.
