Withdraw! from Kuwait demanded;
U.S. objections remain unanswered
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON President Bush
has "serious concerns" with a Soviet
Iraqi proposal to end the Persian Gulf
War, the White House said Thursday
night, but the administration pointedly
did not reject the dramatic initiative that
could result in Iraq's withdrawal from
Kuwait.
'The war itself continues," said
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater, ac
knowledging that Bush had not decided
yet whether to open a ground assault
that for days had seemed imminent.
Earlier in the day. Secretary of De
fense Dick Cheney said allied forces
were massing for "one of the largest
land assaults of modern times," a
comment that lent urgency to the Iraqi

Arnold Trujillo, the new University
public safety director, said coming to
UNC from a commuter school of 6,000
was a challenge.
After working for 19 years as the
public safety director at the University
of Colorado at Colorado Springs,
Trujillo will become the UNC public
safety director March 4.
"I know it will be a good experience
for me and an educational experience
also," he said. "I have always looked
forward to going to a larger campus."
But differences exist between the
University of Colorado and UNC.
B Students do not live on campus at
UC-Colorado Springs. The last evening
class ends at 10:50 p.m. and students
generally are gone by 1 1 p.m., Trujillo
said.
D The last reported rape incident at
UC-Colorado Springs occurred in 1974,
he said.

mission to Moscow.
Cheney said there was "no choice but
to proceed" with the war.
Fitzwater said, "We have had our
hopes erased before" but pledged that
"we are taking a look at" the Moscow
plan. He said the White House would
consult with coalition leaders, and
Secretary of State James Baker began
the contacts with calls to foreign min
isters of Canada, Britain, France and
Egypt.
Bush himself went to the theater, but
then summoned advisers to a late-night
meeting to review Moscow's plan, of
ficials said. One administration source
said among the problem areas were a
proposed early end to sanctions against
Baghdad and the avoidance of war
leges, African-American students
comprise only 2 percent of UC-Colorado
Spring's student body. African Ameri
cans comprise 8 percent of the UNC
student body.
B According to the 1990 edition of
Editor and Publisher Market Guide, the
Chapel Hill population is more than
32,000, and Colorado Springs has about
2 15,000 residents.
B UC-Colorado Spring's public
safety department employs about 25
people. UNC's employs about 40.
Trujillo said traveling to other uni
versities taught him problems at small
campuses were similar to the problems
at larger campuses.
"I realized that I had talents that I was
not using, and that I can do this job (at
a larger institution) as well or better
than anyone else can," Trujillo said.
Carolyn Elfland, interim vice-chancellor
of business affairs, said she was
unaware that UC-Colorado Springs had
only 6,000 students. But she saidTrujillo
could adapt to the differences between
the two universities.

Parts of the plan announced in Mos
cow called for, among other things, a
withdrawal to begin two days after ac
ceptance, an end to sanctions when the
withdrawal is two-thirds complete, the
extinction of U.N. resolutions against
Iraq at the end of the withdrawal, release
of prisoners and monitoring by neutral
countries.
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev
called Bush Thursday night to brief him
on details of the plan. The president
thanked him for his efforts "but raised
serious concerns about several points in
the plan," Fitzwater said.
"The president has indicated there

handle one.. If I thought it was a huge
problem, I would not have hired him."
Clay Williams, UNC police officer,
said Trujillo 's relationship with the
Colorado Springs Police Department
would help him adjust to the problems
at UNC.
"He has had a lot of contact with high
crime even if it has not occurred on
campus," he said.
Jennifer Cox, former Scribe (UC
Colorado Springs' student newspaper)
co-editor, said although UNC's size
would challenge Trujillo, he was an
excellent administrator.
"I'm sure he is up to the job," she
said. "He is good at dealing with people
and is a very competent administrator."
Pat Green, Trujillo 's staff assistant,
said he was a positive leader.
"He is very fair," she said. "He un-

slides in national rankings
By Natarsha Witherspoon
Staff Writer
UNC's library system slipped from
1 7th to 20th in a recent national ranking,
a drop University administrators said
was a direct result of state budget cuts.
University librarian James Govan
said budget cuts during the past several
years were to blame.
'The ranking is clearly related to the
reduction in the budget," Govan said.
"We will drop further unless we can get
more money."
The list was released by the Asso
ciation of Research Libraries.

"Big time politics has come to North
Carolina," announced U.S. Rep. David
Price, D-N.C, to a group of UNC
students who gathered in their semi
nar class Thursday night to hear him
discuss his experiences as a con
gressman. Professor Alan Hirsh invited Price
to speak before the 1 5 students enrolled
in Hirsh's seminar focusing on the
N.C. General Assembly.
"Politics now has a certain hard
edge to it," Price said. "It has become
a tricky environment and requires a
great deal of strategizing.
"We've gone from being a typical.
Southern, one-party state where most
of the political battles were fought in
the Democratic primary, to being a
genuinely competitive two-party state
that attracts a great deal of national
interest," Price said.
Price pointed out that the political
game does not end with the election
results. "The game only changes form.
There's an inside game that goes on.
You immediately begin trying to
maneuver within the legislature.
"This transformation has a lot of
negative potential. Politicians can
abuse television by using it to accuse
each other of ridiculous things."
Significant portions of N.C. politics
have become dominated by 30-second
television spots and million dollar
campaigns, he said.
"Big, expensive television cam
paigns have become the norm," he
said.

Sarah Pritchard, senior program of
ficer for the association, said, 'The
ranking doesn't reflect total quality of
the library. It is a quick way for us to
access if a library is eligible for mem
bership in our organization."
Pritchard said she was concerned that
people would read too much into the
rankings. The number of libraries in the
ranking varies from year to year, mak
ing it difficult to compare research li
braries, she said.
But Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
for Student Affairs, called the budget
cuts a blow to the heart of the University.
Recycling coordinator
set to leave University
By Karen Schwartz
Staff Writer
The University's Office of Waste
Reduction and Recycling is looking for
a new recycling coordinator to manage
what has become one of the biggest
programs in the state.
Rhonda Sherman-Huntoon, the
University's recycling coordinator since
March 1990, is leaving today to take a
job in the N.C. Office of Waste Re
duction. Sherman-Huntoon said she consid
ered the new job a career advancement.
"I'm certainly not leaving because
I'm unhappy with my job here," she
said. "It's just a great opportunity."
Physical Plant Director Herbert Paul
said the position of coordinator called
for someone who could manage the
University's programs, which now
collect 50 to 60 tons of newspaper,
cardboard, aluminum, plastics and
mixed paper each month.
"Our recycling program is pretty
mature," he said. "It's going to be even
tougher now to find an individual than
when Rhonda came on. The position
requires a lot of logistical planning, an
ability to work with people and mar
keting skills."
The University's recycling has
probably doubled in the last year, which
adds pressure in finding a capable co
ordinator to fill Sherman-Huntoon's
position, Paul said.
The position falls into a state salary
grade that ranges from $24,000 to
$37,000 a year, he said.
Sherman-Huntoon said although
budget cuts had reduced her office's

"The budget cuts put a special kind of
hurt on our libraries," Boulton said. The
University could suffer permanent
damage from the cuts, he said.
A report from the University's Li
brary Administrative Board, which will
be presented to the Faculty Council
today, said the budget cuts could destroy
the libraries' ability to buy books.
"In 1984, our libraries ranked 13th in
the nation," the report stated. "It does no
longer. To restore the losses from the
last five years would require a minimum
of $1,500,000.

been affected. .
"It would have been nice to have a
field coordinator and super-expensive
equipment," she said. "I just found in
expensive methods."
