WASHINGTON President
elect George Bush will round out his
economic team Monday by naming
Richard Darman as White House
budget director and Michael Boskin
as Chairman of the president's Coun

sources said Sunday.
On an otherwise quiet weekend,.
Bush attended church, jogged in the
misty afternoon and met with his
choice for White House chief of staff,
Gov. John Sununu of New
Hampshire.
The vice president's aides said he
would have to make some transition
announcements Monday morning

met American conditions for a place

suggested Israel and the United States
were blocking peace.
Hussein made the comments in an
interview on CBS television's "Face
the Nation." The program was
screened on state-run television in
Jordan, which shares Israel's longest

"We continue to be a 'hot' school,"
Cell said in introducing the report of
the advisory committee on under
graduate admissions. According to
the report, the admissions office
received 17,543 applications for
admissions to the freshmen class of
Fall Semester 1988. This number is
almost 13 percent higher than last
year's figure.
Cell said the upward trend is
continuing this year. "It shows, as far
as we can tell, no signs of diminish
ing," she said. "About a month ago
the office of admissions had already
mailed out over 16,000 applications."
The average freshman SAT has
increased by two points over last year
to 1 101, said the report.

Bush announced last Tuesday he
would retain Nicholas Brady as
treasury secretary. He told reporters
Friday he was concentrating on
naming the rest of his economic team
before turning his attention to defense
and national security posts.
Transition sources, who spoke only
on condition that they not be iden
tified, said the directorship of the
White House Office of Management
and Budget post would go to Darman
and that Boskin, a Stanford Univer
sity economics professor, had been
tapped to head the Council on
Economic Advisers. Both nomina
tions have been widely expected.
Darman was the top aide and
protege to James Baker during his
four years as President Reagan's first
chief of staff. In Reagan's second
"I believe the PLO has gone as far
as it was asked to go and has
contributed its share for progress
toward a just and comprehensive
peace," the king said.
Israel for years has pinned its peace
hopes on a separate deal with Hus
sein, cutting out the Palestine Lib
eration Organization. But Hussein
insists that the PLO take part in any
Midclle East settlement.
The PLO's policy-setting Palestine
National Council last week endorsed
"The number of students with high
SATs has increased significantly,"
Cell said. Of the 3,242 freshmen, 860
have SATs over 1200. Of these 860,
666 were from North Carolina.
Cell called this a "significant
figure." "I think it's unfortunate
when, on occasion, comments are
made on this campus which suggest
that all the right students come from
out-of-state," she said. "Clearly that
figure suggests that that is far from
being the case."
Cell also reported that the honors
program expanded from 150 fresh
men to 200 freshmen this year. She
said Sunday that 200 was the new
target size of the program for the
future.

as treasury secretary. Both left the
government when Baker resigned in
August to run Bush's presidential
campaign.
Bush named Baker, his longtime
associate from Houston, as his choice
for secretary of state on Nov. 9, the
morning after the election.
Brady, who served eight months as
a caretaker senator from New Jersey
in 1982, was sworn in two months
ago as Baker's successor at the
Treasury Department. He is a former

being taught this year, which combine
with the traditional freshman and

senior departmental honors to create
a four-year program.
The council also accepted the
report of the Blue Ribbon Commit

process for academic programs and
personnel and faculty promotion and

The council also accepted Chan

make the committee "redundant."

first budget director, David
Stockman.
Boskin helped inspire Bush's idea
of a "flexible freeze" in government
spending to wipe out budget deficits
now running at $155 billion a year.
An authority on the Social Security
system, Boskin argued in a recent
book titled "Too Many Promises"
that the program should be over
hauled to separate its welfare and
pension functions.
Boskin proposed a two-tier system,
with a flat monthly payment aimed
at helping people stay out of poverty
and the upper tier tied strictly to how
much people paid into the system.
Currently there is a sharp tilt to
Social Security benefits, with lower
income workers getting a far heftier
return on their payroll taxes than
middle- and upper-income workers.
nor renounced terrorism. The United
States also had refused to deal with
the PLO until it renounced terrorism.
"I believe they have denounced
terrorism time and again," Hussein
said. "I believe that if there is any
intransigence ... it is in the Israeli
position; which hasn't changed, and
up to now the United States' position.
"I believe our friends in Washing
ton had better go back and look at
the papers and positions they adopted
and they will find there is no differ
ence between their initial demands
and requests and suggestions and
what the PLO has come through with
now."
U.S. officials have reacted cau
tiously to the PLO declarations.
Resolution 242, adopted in 1967,
called for an Israeli withdrawal from
the territories it captured in that year's
Arab-Israeli war the West Bank
and Gaza Strip.
Resolution 338, passed in 1973,
called for implementation of the
earlier resolution and negotiations for
"a just and durable peace in the
Middle East."
Asked why PLO chief Yasser
Arafat would not explicitly endorse
Israel's right to exist, Hussein said,
"They have accepted 242, which
speaks of the right of all states in the
area to live in peace and security.
Beyond that, I don't see what could
be asked of the PLO at this date."

Turner has vowed to reject.
Democrats consider changes
PHOENIX Frustrated
Democrats are considering asking
Congress to help change the
campaign calendar for the 1992
presidential election, possibly
using a lottery to select early
primary states and diminish the
pitfalls . of Iowa and New
Hampshire..
Among the state party leaders
who met here this weekend, there
was little sentiment for a wholesale
rewrite of delegate selection rules
as the solution to the Democrats'
dismal showing in recent presiden-.
tial elections.
"I'm going to tell you, every
body's damn tired of rules
changes," said Bob Slagle, the
Texas state party chairman. "And
I think the average Democrat
thinks we're absolutely insane if.
we get into another big battle
about rules."
Tornadoes tear up South
Nearly two dozen tornadoes
slashed across parts of the South
during the weekend, destroying
homes and ripping down trees,
and at least two people were killed.
Torrential rain also fell across
the South and from Arkansas into
Kentucky, washing out one small

AIKEN, S.C. Federal offi

troubled Savannah River Plant in
an effort to correct problems that
have shut down the only U.S.
facility capable of producing
nuclear weapons materials.
The added safety procedures
make it unlikely that the plant will
meet a Dec. 31 target date for
restarting one of three reactors at
the federal facility, which has been
run since 1950 by the E.I. du Pont

Medical waste closes beach
FORT MONROE, Va. A

a passerby found syringes and
medicine bottles on shore, officials
said.
Wayne Kanoy, a spokesman at
the base, said a patron of a base
restaurant found the medical items
washed up on the beach at about
9 a.m. The items included two
syringes, part of another syringe,
a bottle containing an unknown

Officials also found a chemical
light stick, he said.
"We dont think it's a hazard
at this time," Kanoy said. He said
the beach at the base was "rou
tinely closed" while officials
inspected the area and found no
other items.
