"Currently, the loft policy pri

fabricated metal configurations,"
Kuncl wrote. "Therefore, there
is a need to determine the
strength, safety and structure of
the loft before it can be approved
for use."
Kuncl said that the company

From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Skeptics about
the wisdom of President Bush's decision
to risk war in the Persian Gulf are be
ginning to speak out and some of the
sharpest criticism comes from conser
vatives who usually are in Bush's cor
ner. The critics argue that the potential
risk is not worth the potential gain, that
the fight is over no higher principle than
cheap oil, that Bush is talking multina
tional response but acting unilaterally,
that the United States cannot afford this
Budget
"We do not cut mimeograph paper or
phone calls in order to dramatize our
plight," he said. "It's not done for show.
It's agony exquisite agony."
But the University will not break
contracts if it can be avoided, Hardin
said. "Foremost among those (priorities)
is to honor every contract. We do not
have a present plan to lay off a single
person," he said.
Although some vacant faculty posi
tions were eliminated with the 3-percent
cut in the base budget, the University is
prohibited from making further cuts in
teaching positions, Hardin explained.
'The ones (faculty positions) that
will come vacant this year are not only
not in that group, but cannot be used to
meet the negative reserve. We will, as
far as I know, hire to replace retiring
faculty," Hardin said.
The faculty who remain will receive
a 6-percent raise which was approved in
this year's budget. However, campus
administrators said this improvement
may be offset by shortages in equipment
and graduate student support caused by
the budget cuts.
"It will affect the kind of faculty we
have here," said Gillian Cell, dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences. "If we
can't keep graduate students, we won't
be able to keep the faculty we have here.
"Obviously, it (the 6-percent raise)
was enormously helpful, but I think the
benefits will be offset by the current
conditions," she said.
Unlike the faculty, other vacant posi
tions within the University are not
protected from further cuts. O'Connor
said the Office of Management and
Budget asked that 40 percent of the
negative allotment be taken from non
instructional personnel funding.
Hardin warned that the administra
tion might have to hold keep more po
sitions open so they could meet problems
later in the year. "We do have authori
zation to hire, but we have to hold
back," he said.
O'Connor said some departments

confrontation.
They argue that Bush's comparison
of Iraq's Saddam Hussein with Nazi
Germany's Adolf Hitler is overdrawn
and closes the door on compromise.
They say Hitler threatened civilization
itself, while Saddam threatens only the
price of gasol ine and has replaced one
autocratic regime in Kuwait, run by
billionaire oil emirs, with another au
tocratic regime, run by himself.
Thus, while public opinion seems
behind the president, Bush is being
challenged by some who think his ac
could not fill vacancies, while others
had quite the opposite problem.
"Many units have no vacancies, so
we're trying to adjust those (amounts of
cuts) so we do not eliminate their non
personnel funds," he said. "Otherwise,
you have people sitting around without
enough supplies to do their jobs."
The University will also face effects
in maintenance and facil ity quality, said
Ben Tuchi, vice-chancellor for business
and finance. "We will have to very
severely curtail preventative mainte
nance. We'll have to run the risk of
damage to buildings and roofs.
"In terms of office and classroom
cleaning, at maximum, we will keep the
same schedule as this summer, which is
already reduced," he said.
Tuchi said maintenance contracts for
computers, the amount of phone calls
and photocopies and groundskeeping
work will also be affected by the cuts.
Coping with a long-term crisis
And the budget problems won't go
away soon, campus administrators say.
Even if the state can avoid further cuts
this year, these funds won't be returned
to the University next year.
"I feel that the need for money on the
part of the state from all sections will
continue all decade," said Donald
Boulton, vice-chancellor for student
affairs. "I don't think there will be any
restoring of anything.
"Yes, we're going to stay at the same
level. We need flexibility and to ask for
the ability to raise money in other ways,
i.e. tuition or inclusive fees," he said.
At the meeting with faculty and staff,
Hardin discussed the merits of raising
tuition if budgetary problems continued.
The chancellor said he would not sup
port such a move under the current
system, in which the money reverts to
the General Fund in Raleigh.
"I don't like tuition increases under
the current system. I don't even like
one-time fee increases under it," he
said.

said, "We appreciate the University's
cooperation in this matter. We are not
trying to violate students' privacy. We
are just trying to report crimes as com
pletely as possible so that our readers
can protect themselves."
Some college newspapers have dealt
with less cooperative administrations,
Thompson said. The student newspaper
at Southwest Missouri State University
has taken a grievance to court, although
a date has not been set for litigation.

Bush's golf policy
tions can only lead to trouble.
Military strategist Edward N.
Luttwak, a Pentagon adviser and senior
fellow at the conservative Center for
Strategic and International Studies, for
example, cites moral and strategic rea
sons in questioning Bush's move to
defend Saudi Arabia from Iraq.
Saudi Arabia, Luttwak said, "is a
regime whose members are still gam
bling on the French Riviera, as Radio
Baghdad says ... Once people in the
United States find out what we're de
fending, they will revolt against it."
O'Connor also said the administra
tion would not support a tuition increase
unless the University could retain the
extra funds. "I would hope that if tuition
was raised, it would not be used as a
cash cow for the state," he said.
"The first circumstance that would
have to exist is that we would be able to
retain the increase in support of both
financial aid and academic programs,"
O'Connor said. "Without that in place,
I don't think we'd support it."
Another source of revenue could be
the UNC Bicentennial Campaign, but
Hardin warned faculty and staff at the
meeting that donations should not be
used to replace state money.
"When we are under this kind of
budget stringency, our donors know we
need help. But if we use the money for
something other than what they gave it
for, they will stop giving," he said. "If
we begin to divert those funds from
their intended purposes, we would
jeopardize the success of the Bicenten
nial." After the meeting, Hardin said that
eliminating academic programs would

Q Recommending that professors

departments already use this policy.
D Asking staff members to give add
cards only to students with signed and
completed drop-add forms. In addition,
Jicha said many advisers would write
the number of classes each student needs
to pick up on their dropadd forms.
Administrators said they hoped these
measures would prevent students from
enrolling in more classes than they in
tended to keep for the semester.
Jicha said he had heard of a few
students who registered for as many as
28 hours, only to drop several classes
later in the year. "What we don't want
students to do is react by course col
lecting," he said. "Students who do that
will cause problems for everybody else,"
he said.

But Iraq cannot be blockaded into
submission, Luttwak said. Some food
will get through, and anyway, the Iraqi
government "can increase the avail
ability of food just by not supplying the
Kurdish areas."
Even such a stalwart hard-liner as
Jeanne Kirkpatrick, former
U.S.ambassador to the United Nations,
seems reserved in her support.
'The burden we've assumed, the re
sponsibility we've assumed," she told
interviewers last week, "is larger than
our national interest."

be another way to counter budget cuts if
the crisis continued for several years.;
"I would have already done so in the
private sector," he said. "With me, it's
never a very hard choice between
quantity and quality."
However, Hardin cautioned that such
an action would only be taken after
much discussion and long-term plan
ning. "This is not a proposal to down
size," he said.
O'Connor said down-sizing would
not take place without discussion in all
parts of the University.
"Going about that would require lots
of conversations with deans, (depart
ment) chairmen and faculty. It would
certainly involve conversations with
students, both graduate and under
graduate. And it would involve con
versations with staff members who
support those programs," he said.
"We're always evaluating programs
and sometimes they grow, sometimes
they down-size and sometimes they
change," O'Connor said. "It's not like
this process doesn't go on already."

University didn't step in and deal with
this right when it happened," he said.
"I have no doubt they will uphold
Judge Nesnow's findings," McSurely
said. "It's too bad that the University
has chosen to delay Officer Edward's
final vindication still more."

Lanier said, "Students are just killing
each other by doing that."
Class sizes did not increase signifi
cantly to compensate for cancellations,
Jicha said.
Kathy Ward, a scheduling officer in
the University Registrar's office, said
very few departments had decided to
expand enrollments.
"Chemistry is the only one that comes
to mind," she said. 'They canceled an
important class, so they played around
with the numbers to accommodate stu
dents." In addition to fewer classes, students
may also face inconveniences at drop
add because fewer staff members will
be aiding in the process.
Although Jicha said the General
College had not been affected by the
hiring freeze, Lanier said there was one
vacant position in the University
Registrar's Office.
"We're having to hire more tempo
raries," he said. "I generally don't like
that because it means less-sk i 1 led peopl e
will be dealing with students."

the organization receives no state fund
ing, so student pay all operating costs.
"Last year we had no increase, so this
year's increase covers both this and last
year's inflation," she said.
B Athletic fees will go from $25 to
$30 per semester, but the total is still the
lowest in the INC system. In compari
son, INC-Charlotte's fee is the highest,
at $197 per semester.
Jones said this was the first athletic
fee increase since 1981 because the
athletic department was able to gener
ate its own revenue. "They don't have
to pass most of the cost on to students
because they are able to generate their
own money," he said. "This enables
them to keep the fee minimal."
Although these increases are rela
tively small, some students still might
find their financial situations strained.
Eleanor Morris, director of scholarships
and student aid, said her office decided
August 2 1 to hear requests for loan and
work-study increases.
"We had projected some increase in
costs, but we fell short in our estimates,"
she said. "There was no provision made
for students after the legislature in
creased tuition. It is on the students'
backs."
Forms will be available in Vance
Hall for students who want to increase
their awards because of the new fees,
but the money will not be awarded until
early October.
"Legislators say 'What is $70 more?'
It is just an added burden, especially for
students borrowing large sums of
money," Morris said.
