Saddam urges Arab
holy war against West
Saddam Hussein urged Arabs
Wednesday to rise up in a holy war
against the West and against former
allies who have turned against him.
Declaring that U.N. sanctions are kill
ing Iraqi children, he vowed his people
would sacrifice and emerge victorious.
"It is now time for Arabs to save the
world and not just yourself," the Iraqi
president said in his latest televised
message. "It is now your chance to save
humanity from the unjust powers who
exploit us."
In the Gulf of Oman, U.S. forces
released an Iraqi-flagged freighter that
they intercepted and boarded Tuesday
as it headed for Iraq with a cargo of tea.
The Navy said the ship was allowed
to proceed to an unspecified port after a
30-hour search. Shipping sources said it
headed for Yemen.
S.African leader calls
for new constitution
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Calling South Africa's anti-apartheid
course "irreversible," President F.W.
de Klerk on Wednesday invited groups
of all races to join negotiations on a new
constitution.
"Now is the time to wipe out petty
differences," he said.
The government and African Na
tional Congress were scheduled to
continue talks Thursday, despite tension
over the army's involvement in a
township shooting that killed 1 1 people,
news reports said.
ANC leader Nelson Mandela visited
black townships near Johannesburg
wracked by fighting that has killed more
than 550 people since Aug. 12.
U.S., Vietnam to talk
Cambodian peace
WASHINGTON The United
States is expanding talks with Vietnam
in an effort to reach an agreement to end
nearly 20 years of civil war in Cambo
dia, Secretary of State James Baker said
Wednesday.
The talks will be held in Laos as "the
next logical step" in the U.S. policy
reversal, Baker told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
The Bush administration in July
withdrew its diplomatic recognition of
the Cambodian guerrilla coalition,
which included the Communist Khmer
Rouge, and said it would talk with
Vietnam about settling the conflict.
Commission officials'
resignations urged
; WINSTON-SALEM A state judge
says two officials involved in selecting
a site for North Carolina's hazardous
waste treatment plant should resign
because of conflicts, a newspaper re
ported Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge C. Preston
Cornelius of Mooresville said the North
Carolina Board of Ethics should demand
the resignation of Alvis Turner, chair
man of the state Hazardous Waste
Treatment Commission, and commis
sion member Truman Koehler.
Both Turner and Koehler denied any
wrongdoing.
The commission is charged with de
ciding where to locate a hazardous waste
treatment plant.

Progress

to tadlget yet
By JENNIFER WING
University editor
The University will suffer additional
budget cuts in the state's second-quarter
allotments, requiring severe cutbacks
throughout the campus, UNC officials
said Wednesday.
Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor of busi
ness and finance, said the University is
preparing for additional budget reduc
tions, although no exact numbers are
known. "The University is subject to
more reductions, and those reductions
will likely be substantial."
The University is dealing with a 5
percent budget cut the General Assem
bly mandated this summer.
Patricia Poteat, associate vice chan
cellor for academic affairs, said the
University must prepare immediately
for the cutbacks. "The second-quarter
allotments will reflect the reductions,
but the University needs to put measures
into place immediately," she said.
University officials said the areas to
be cut at the University will depend on
the size of the reduction.
Tuchi said, "We think the (reductions)
will go everywhere."
Provost Dennis O'Connor said that
although the University could not cut
any classes at this point, students will
feel the effects. "What really suffers is
the instructional mission of the Uni
versity," he said. "That's why (students)
are taking it in the neck.

UNC Graduate Students United only
received six responses from N.C. Gen
eral Assembly members to a question
naire they sent legislators about the
recent budget cuts.
The GSU sent 180 legislators the
questionnaires, which focused on this
summer's 5 percent budget reduction in
the University. The questionnaire asked
legislators:
If they supported the proposed 3
percent to 5 percent budget cuts

Provost Dennis O'Connor
"Any additional cuts are going to
wreak havoc," O'Connor said.
The University will have to consult
deans and department heads to find out
their priorities before the cuts are made,
he said. The University should have
definite numbers by the end of the week,
he said.
Tuchi said the University and the
state have discussed this additional re
duction for the past two weeks. State
and world events have precipitated the
cutbacks.
The Middle East crisis may be the
reason for the cutbacks, Tuchi said.
"Fuel prices have risen and the military
dispatched roughly 50,000 people from
North Carolina, thus reducing (state)
revenue," he said.
O'Connor said the state's revenue
for July was $4 1 million below what
was anticipated, which also may be a
If they had additional comments
about the budget problems.
Two of the six respondents said they
supported the budget cuts.
Robert Brawley, R-Dist. 43, and Joe
Hege, R-Dist. 37, said they supported
the budget reductions at the University.
Hege said the legislature needed to
control spending.
The four legislators who said they
did not support the cuts were Joe
Hackney, D-Dist. 24; Bertha Holt, D
Dist. 25; Judy Hunt, D-Dist. 40; and
Coy Privette, D-Dist. 34.
Privette said instead of cutting state

reason for the sudden cuts.
David Crotts, senior fiscal analyst
for the N.C. General Assembly's Fiscal
Research Department, said low tax
revenues and a weak national economy
also may have caused the reductions.
"There is concern over the economy
teetering on the verge of a recession,"
he said. "(Also) July tax collections
weren't particularly great."
Crotts also said the cutbacks may be
a reaction to last year's deficit, which
was discovered after the fourth-quarter
allotments were made. "The budget
office may be trying to prevent repeat
ing last year," he said. "It was difficult
to reduce spending at that (late) time.
"The situation is definitely riskier
now than it was two months ago," he
said. If the Middle East crisis worsens,
the budget crunches may get tighter, he
said.

The Inter-Fraternity Council pro

professional security guards to check
IDs at open parties.
"We're looking into having a se

Professors forage for ftandiin

The University's budget shortfall is
forcing faculty members to find different
ways to pay for course preparation,
professors said Wednesday.
"It's obvious to me that we are now
beginning to have to pay for essential
services for teaching using funds the
state of North Carolina has not appro
priated," said William Glaze, chairman
of the environmental sciences and en
gineering department. "They are using
funds they have generated from con
tracts and grants for purposes that bor
der on not being legitimate."
Other instructors are even using their
own money to pay for course materials.
"We're seeing a lot more professors
running syllabuses off out of their own
pockets," said Render Dahiya, manager
of Kinko's Copies on Franklin Street.
David Lowery, chairman of the po
litical science department, said his de
partment is "taking responsibility" for
copying syllabuses and exams and
making one copy of each page going
into course packets. Lowery said he
would use his own money to copy the
materials he needs for class each day.
Hotels 'home'
By MICHELLE SMITH
Staff Writer
A housing project which has placed
42 students in area hotels this semester
because of building delays may be ready
by the end of this week, said Sandra and
Anker Bell, owners of the seven six
bedroom units in Ashley Forest.
The houses were supposed to be ready
by mid-August for students to move
into, but a delay in construction has
forced the students to stay at the Caro
lina Inn and the Holiday Inn since they
arrived in Chapel Hill.

to curb liability at open parties, IFC
members said.
The plan under discussion calls for
the IFC to contract a security agency
and for fraternities to use that agency
when they want to hire a guard. Indi
vidual fraternities would pay for the
security guard.
Jay Dunn, a representative of Sigma
Nu fraternity, said he approved of the
proposal.
"Personally, I think it's a good idea,"
Dunn said. "Insurance being what it is
today, each fraternity has to watch out."
class material costs
"It's nice to give students a copy of a
newspaper article I saw that day, or
even give them worksheets," Lowery
said. "I would always hand out an out
line of topics at the beginning of each
class, and that really did help us out
we ended up covering more topics."
Lowery said he would pay for the
extra materials because they are neces
sary and "my students expect it now."
Although the number of course
packets being sold is similar to past
years, the average course packet this
year has increased in size because many
instructors cannot pay to copy materials
they ordinarily would distribute in class,
Dahiya said.
"There are certain things that are
being included (in the course packets)
that weren't being included before," he
said, adding that more instructors are
putting syllabuses in the packets. "The
departments won't let them spend the
money in-house on them."
The increase in price of the larger
course packets has been minimal,
Dahiya said.
"You're talking about 10 to 15 cents
more," he said. "The professors have

The law school has been able to es
cape some effects of the budget short
fall by using private money from the
Law Foundation and the law school's
alumni foundation to pay copying ex
penses. ;
"We're economizing as much as we
can," Dean Judith Wegner said. "It's
really a potential problem, and if we
didn't have money from private sources,
it could be worse."
The private funds, however, could
have been allocated for other useful
purposes if the University were not in
the midst of a budget crisis, Wegner
said.
"It's too bad because that's money
we could have used for other things,"
she said. "I don't know what we'll do if
this keeps up."
The instructors have also tried to
save students money by reserving more
readings at the library instead of in
cluding them in the course packets,
Dahiya said.
But Lowery said professors should

The predicament is beginning to get
frustrating, Benner said. He has some of
his belongings in the room with him,
some in his car and more in a storage
facility near the duplex.
"We just need to get settled in,"
Benner said. "It's harder to study in a
hotel env ironment." He said he was told
that he and his friends would be able to
move in within the next few days.
