Message from Bush
broadcast on Iraqi TV
BAGHDAD, IRAQ President
Bush's message to the Iraqi people was
"full of lies and contradictions," and a
"thundering rage" is building up against
the Arab world, an Iraqi TV commen
tator said Sunday.
Mikdad Morad, the announcer who
normally reads statements from Presi
dent Saddam Hussein, also warned B ush
that a showdown in the Gulf will end "in
a catastrophe" for U.S. forces.
Mordad spoke immediately after
Bush's eight-minute taped message was
broadcast on Iraqi TV, with an Arabic
voice-over and captions provided by
the U.S. State Department.
Bush, in his message, told the Iraqis:
"Iraq stands isolated and alone."
"Saddam Hussein tells you that this
crisis is a struggle between Iraq and
America. In fact, it is Iraq against the
world," said Bush.
B ut, he said, "War is not inevitable. It
is still possible to bring this crisis to a
peaceful end."
Kuwaiti refugees
flood Saudi Arabia
KHAFJI, Saudi Arabia Kuwaitis
flooded into Saudi Arabia Sunday with
tales of terror and anarchy at home as
word spread that Iraq had opened the
border for the first time in a month.
At least 1,500 refugees were expected
to cross over Sunday, border officials
said. About 1,000 crossed Saturday,
and they gave grim reports of dwindling
food supplies and Iraqi troops destroy
ing the homes of suspected resistance
fighters.
The Iraqis made no announcement of
the border opening, and refugees could
only speculate on why they had done so.
Demonstrators ask
Gorbachev to resign
MOSCOW Tens of thousands of
demonstrators marched to the Kremlin
Sunday demanding that President
Mikhail Gorbachev and his prime
minister resign to take responsibility
for the country's economic crisis.
"The Economy is a Disaster," read
banners carried by the crowd, which
gathered under heavy rain at Gorky
Park, crossed the Moscow River and
then headed for central Moscow, where
they listened to speeches just outside
Red Square.
The crowd of about 50,000 followed
the same path taken by demonstrators
earlier this year. Many marchers carried
white, blue and red Russian flags from
the pre-Bolshevik era, and they shouted
"Gorbachev resign!""Ryshkov resign!"
Ticketholders to split
huge Florida jackpot
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Owners of
six winning tickets will split a record
Florida Lotto jackpot of an estimated
$105 million, lottery officials said
Sunday.
Each of the tickets, bearing the
numbers 5-6-21-34-35-45, is worth an
estimated $17.5 million, said lottery
secretary Rebecca Paul.
The numbers were drawn at 1 1 p.m.
Saturday, ending a week of Lottomania
in which more than 100 million $1
tickets were sold, sometimes at the rate
of nearly 600 a second.

Chancellor Paul Hardin warned fac

budget cuts.
In the event of further budget cuts,
the University will be unable to make
the necessary cuts from non-personnel
budget expenditures, Hardin said.

Spangler said Friday that the system
must have additional funds to maintain
the quality of instruction and programs,
and that he was confident the N.C.
General Assembly would respond fa
vorably to the University's budget re
quests. In a speech to the Board of Governors,
Spangler said the General Assembly's
decisions concerning the UNC-system
budget requests for the 1991-93 bien
nium were of "pivotal importance" to
the system's future.
"The quality of our current program
in instruction, research and public ser
vice cannot much longer be maintained
unless we have additional resources,"
Spangler said. "Curtailment of some
programs and service and the elimina

our situation worsens."

UiMYer sity hopes to put a wrap on lewis streak
BySOYlA ELLISON
Stall Writer
This year may mark the end of a 30-year-old
University tradition the
annual Lewis Resident Hall streak.
For the last 30 years, residents of the
all-male dormitory have chosen one
night to serenade women's residence
halls and streak across campus.
But this year University officials are
trying to put an end to the event.
A mandatory meeting was held at the
beginning of the year in the residence

From staff reports
Morehead Scholar and former
Carolina Indian Circle President James
Cedric Woods was charged Friday with
second-degree manslaughter in the Aug.
20 death of a man who broke into the
home of his girlfriend, Lumberton po
lice said.
Woods posted a $5,000 unsecured
bond and was released Friday afternoon,
said Maj. J.E. Taylor of the Lumberton
police department. A probable cause
hearing will be held Sept. 28, at which
time the judge will examine the evidence
and possibly reduce the charge, Taylor
said.
Woods, a resident of Pembroke and a
senior at UNC, was visiting his girl
friend, Victoria Oxendine, at her home
in Lumberton when 27-year-old Gene
B erry Clark broke into the house. Woods
admitted to shooting Clark.
Oxendine told police that Clark was
her former boyfriend, according to a
Sept. 14 Chapel Hill Newspaper article.
Clark was released from prison in April
after serving nearly 1 0 years for assault,
breaking and entering and larcenies.
According to the autopsy report,
Clark received eight gunshot wounds in
his left mid-chest, left flank, right hand,
right upper arm, top right shoulder, up
per right buttock, right lower back and
upper left back.
Arrests are made in most shooting
cases, Taylor said. A second-degree
manslaughter charge is used in cases of

Martin and several legislators, and he
believed they would do what they could
to help the UNC system.
They have always supported the
mission of the system in the past, and
there is no reason to doubt that they still
support it, Spangler said.
"We have not had a lack of attention,
we have had a lack of funds," he said.
"The University seeks to have an im

which means taxes and the Uni

proceeds."
The UNC system will continue to use

Budget accord vital,
to assure student aid
By BRIAN LYNNE
Staff Writer
Student grants and loans for the 1991
92 academic year could suffer sub
stantial cuts from the federal government
if an agreement in accordance with the
Gramm-Rudman Act is not reached
before Oct. 1.
Eleanor Morris, director of the UNC
Office of Scholarships and Student Aid,
said it was difficult to know precisely
what effects the failure to meet the
Gramm-Rudman requirements would
have on grants and loans for students.
"It is certain both would be hurt
substantially, but it's too early to know
how much," she said. "Grants would be
hurt much worse than loans, but we
really don't know what programs the
government would cut within education.
It would be very serious if an agreement
is not reached and as a result seques
tration occurred, but we should not be
alarmist about the situation."
Under the Gramm-Rudman Act,
federal budget negotiators must come
within $10 billion of paying off the
projected national budget deficit for the
upcoming year.
If lawmakers are unable to achieve
this, they are required by law to imple
ment a process called sequestration,
which cuts largely across the board.
Don BeAimon, an assistant to Rep.
David Price (D-N.C), in Washington,
D.C., said the budget , negotiators had
limited methods to decrease the deficit.
"In the past, some creative book
keeping has been done in order to meet
the provisions of the act," he said. "But
either by raising revenues or cutting
programs, the target must be met, or
cuts largely across the board will follow.

ness and finance, said options other
than layoffs would be considered first.
"We will look into every possible
account, and every possible search for
funds that can be shifted about," he said.
"All possible alternatives will be ex
plored before any action will be taken,
and all possible alternatives means that
we will also be speaking in consultation
with a large number of people around
the campus."

Another sophomore said, "I would
be scared to go up to a freshman and say,
'Want to streak tonight?' because he
might turn me in."
Lewis residents said the streak was a
tradition and bonding experience for
them.
But Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs, said tradi
tions are not always beneficial.
"Sometimes traditions need to be ex

"Because the defense budget is so
large, around $325 billion (in) cuts from
it would have to provide for 60 percent
of the needed money, but it's probable
that education would suffer approxi
mately a 30 percent cut."
Lawmakers have not made any de
cision yet about which programs to cut,
BeArmon said. Before cuts are made, it
is difficult to determine which programs
in education will be affected specifically.
The cuts will not be felt immediately
by the University.
Morris said UNC had already re
ceived its money for this academic year
so students will not be affected until
next year if cuts are made.
"No cuts to financial aid would occur
until the next academic year, even if an
agreement about Gramm-Rudman:
cannot be reached," she said. There.
will not be mid-semester cuts of finan-;
cial aid."
At the Graduate Students United fo-:
rum Tuesday, Donald Boulton, vice,
chancellor of student affairs, said grants

reduced by up to 32.7 percent.
Morris said general student grants
and student loans probably would not
be cut as much as the research grants.
"In all probability, general student
grants would not be cut that much, and
student loans would not drop (more
than) 30 percent," she said. "About $3
million, which comprises 20 percent of,
the loans program, is handled completely
by the University. We loan the money
to students, they pay us back, and then
we loan it to other students. Approxi-!
mately 80 percent is handled by banks,'
