Clinton blasts critics
of new economic plan
SANTA MONICA, Calif.
President Clinton, stepping up an
attack on critics who say his eco
nomic plan doesn’t contain enough
spending reductions, said Sunday that
his opponents should offer more cuts
and “not talk about doing better.”
“It’s one thing to talk like a
conservative and another thing
altogether to live like one,” Clinton
said as he brought his sales show for
his economic program to the West
Coast, where defense-related indus
tries are suffering particularly.
Clinton told several thousand
students at a community college that
he would stress increased high
technology partnerships between
govemihent and industry to help
convert lost defense jobs to civilian
employment.
He also announced he was
releasing SSOO million in federal
funds to help defense industries
convert to civilian projects. Aides
said the money had been held up by
the Bush administration.
Clinton said that, in addition to
deep spending cuts in many areas,
including the Star Wars anti-missile
program in the defense budget, he had
produced 150 specific cuts in his
economic plan.
Vatican attacks Dutch
euthanasia policies
THE HAGUE, Netherlands The
Vatican’s condemnation of Dutch
euthanasia policies has embroiled the
government in its fiercest confronta
tion with the papacy in modem times.
For the first time in postwar
history, the foreign minister has
summoned the papal nuncio in the
Netherlands to hear an official
protest, a ministry spokesman said
during the weekend. A meeting is
expected early this week.
Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers, a
Roman Catholic, said Friday that the
Vatican’s comparison of the euthana
sia policy to Nazi extermination of
the mentally and physically disabled
“absolutely won’t do.”
Yugoslavian cease-fire
fraying as aid scarce
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
A U.N. convoy held up for days by
hostile Serbs and mined roads finally
delivered food to a besieged eastern
town on Sunday, but there was still no
aid distribution in shattered Sarajevo.
A unilateral, nationwide cease-fire
called Saturday by Bosnia’s Muslim
president, Alija Izetbegovic, appeared
to be holding around the capital but
already was fraying elsewhere.
As the commander of U.N.
peacekeepers in Bosnia headed for
consultations with Bosnian and
Serbian leaders to try to consolidate
the truce, at least 18 people were
reported killed in fighting in northern
and eastern Bosnia.
Reforms in Hong Kong
divide British, Chinese
HONG KONG Britain and China
are locked eyeball-to-eyeball in a
dispute over proposed democratic
reforms for Hong Kong before it
reverts to Chinese sovereignty in
1997. The question is who will blink
first.
The controversy has split opinions
in the British colony, a glittering
example of rags-to-riches success,
where life has traditionally centered
on money-making, not confronta
tional politics.
Chris Patten, former chairman of
Britain’s governing Conservative
Party, proposed the reforms last
October, three months after he
became the colony’s 28th governor
under British rule.
World's oldest woman
celebrates birthday
ARLES, France Jeanne Louise
Calment, believed to be the world’s
oldest person, celebrated her 118th
birthday Sunday, at one point trying
to enliven her party by singing a
couple of songs.
The festivities took place at a
nursing home in Arles, the southern
French city where, in her youth, she
met painter Vincent Van Gogh.
Mrs. Calment is listed in the
Guinness Book of World Records as
the oldest living person whose age
can be reliably authenticated.
Several dozen journalists joined
staff and residents for the party, and
Mrs. Calment was serenaded with an
accordion.

B-GLAD threatened with defunding

Assistant University Editor
The Student Congress Finance Com

Lesbians and Allies for Diversity not
receive any student fees on the grounds
that the group is politically partisan.
After 2 1/2 hours of debate and ques

quested $2,582. Two years ago, former
congress Speaker Tim Moore headed
an unsuccessful campaign to defund B

The finance committee did not rec

Riley: Nation at crossroads
By Jason Richardson
State and National Editor
U.S. Secretary of Education Rich
ard Riley stressed the importance of
President Clinton’s recently unveiled
economic plan and outlined the
administration’s $3 billion education
program in a series of discussions on
the UNC campus Friday.
“We are at a crossroads,” Riley said.
“Bill Clinton is trying to take this coun
try in anew direction.
“(We) need to realize that if we are
going to change the future, we have to
be willing to change ourselves.”

With 20 years of civic and political
involvement behind him, Moses Carey
is still charting new territory in N.C.
politics.
Carey, who is the current chairman
of the Orange County Board of Com

first black president of the N.C. Asso
ciation of County Commissioners next
year.
Carey is currently the first vice presi
dent of the association.

The BSM openly endorses student

A host of dignitaries from UNC and
across the state gathered in UNC’s Stu

Riley said Clinton’s plan was a means
to “jump start the economy.”
“This plan represents the kind of
dramatic reordering of priorities—put
ting people first that Americans
wanted when they elected Bill Clinton
their president,” he said.

ure, Carey saidhe
hoped to encour
age more blacks
to get involved in
local and national
politics.
“Orange
County does rep-
resent one of the finest examples of
African Americans in top county posi
tions in this state,” Carey said. “I like to
think I have been a part of that.”
Asa prominent local political figure,
Carey said he hoped to set an example
for young minorities interested in ca
reers in government.
“I try to serve as a role model for
younger people,” he said.
Carey said that in his three years as
chairman of the board of commission-
states we cannot fund anything of a
political nature.”
Tuck said he thought the BSM should
receive funding because it was more of
a cultural organization than a political
one. “The primary purpose of (B
GLAD) is to advance the rights of ho
mosexuals,” he said.
John Johnson, co-editor of Lambda,
said he thought some committee mem
bers chose to defund B-GLAD because
of their own personal beliefs.
“When (Rep.) Eric Pratt, (Dist. 22),
introduced the amendment to recom
mend to defund us, one of his reasons
was ‘we all know our convictions,’
which indicates to me a clear bias
against, not just us, but minority student
groups,” Johnson said.
“I do feel like they were singling us
out.”
Pratt said he voted against funding
B-GLAD because he thought most stu
dents were not in favor of student fees
being allocated to the group.

“I don’t think the country has any
other choice,” he said.
In his address at the union, Riley
said he saw Clinton’s plan as a depar
ture from the style of government the
country had experienced under Presi
dents Ronald Reagan and George
Bush.
“The president’s program reverses
the policies and trends of the past 12
years,” Riley said. “During that time
the deficit went up and up and invest
ment in human capital went down.
Under the president’s program the
deficit will go down and needed in
vestment in human capital will go up.”

“I want to make sure that African-
American children are getting the same

Carey said he had not let racial dis
crimination discourage him from po
litical involvement.
“Obviously, there are a lot of people
who don’t like to see African Ameri

think that Orange County is moving in
the right direction.”
Orange County already has shown
progress in electing minorities to top
county positions, Carey said.
“The population in Orange County
feels that representation is important,”
Carey said. “(County voters) have
“I feel that the majority of fee-paying
students strongly feel that B-GLAD
should not be funded whatsoever,” he
said.
“Due to this, that is why I voted
against funding for B-GLAD because
we’re supposed to represent students’
wishes at this University and their ex
pressed will.”
Rep. Charlton Allen, Dist. 21, said he
was against funding B-GLAD because
the group was based on sexual prefer
ence.
“I am opposed to funding groups
based on sexual preference, regardless
of what that preference is,” he said.
“They are a legitimate group, but I felt
like their request was largely symbolic
and unnecessary.”

By Anna Griffin
University Editor
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
Donald Boulton plans to ask the chan
cellor to establish a committee on rac
ism to examine and curb the rising num
ber of racial incidents on campus in
recent years.
The committee would work to ad
dress hate crimes on campus and also to
develop an educational program to com
bat racism on campus, Boulton said.
“It’s something that says that we as
an institution want to give as much
support to fighting racism as we do to
crime and sexual harassment,” he said.
Boulton said students needed to be
aware of the numerous racial incidents
that had occurred on campus in recent
months, including two incidents at
Morrison Residence Hall last month.
Boulton said he expected to have a
final proposal to Chancellor Paul Hardin
by the end of the week. “I can’t give you
all the details yet because they’re not
finalized,” he said. “But we’re very
excited about this.”

HILLSBOROUGH—Despite rainy
weather and gray skies, about 500 people
gathered in Hillsborough Sunday after
noon to protest the move of a sexual
material mail-order company to the
town.
PHE Inc. owner Phil Harvey an
nounced earlier this month that he
planned to relocate his business, better
known by the trade name Adam and
Eve, from its headquarters outside of
Carrboro to Hillsborough.
Although Harvey has said the com
pany would create about 100 new jobs
and raise the town’s tax revenue by
nearly $20,000 per year, many resi
dents said the company would have a
negative effect on the community.
Lucius Cheshire, a former mayor of
Hillsborough who spoke at the rally,
said he thought the company decided to
relocate close to the University as an
attempt to gain support from the “lib
eral intelligentsia.”

ues of the community as a whole.”
Carey said national politics still did
not demonstrate diversity in high of
fices.
“I’d like to see (the election of a
black president) occur next term,” he
said. “It’s only a matter of time.”
Carey said he had been inspired to
become involved in politics by former
Orange County Commissioner Richard
Whitted, who served 12 years on the
board.
“I’d like to think I’ve carried on some
of the initiatives he introduced,” Carey
said.

board of commissioners since 1984, but

“I definitely question (the motives
of) the seven who voted against us,” she
said.
“The finance committee has not been
consistent on whether or not to fund
political organizations.
“I’m somewhat confident (the full
congress will fund B-GLAD). We have
a lot of allies in congress.”
Tuck said he did not know whether
B-GLAD would receive funding from
the full congress. “I don’t think it’s out
of the question that B-GLAD will be
defunded,” he said.”
In addition to Tuck, Allen and Pratt,
Rep. Johnathan Roberts, Dist. 24; Darren
Allen, Dist. 21; Rep. Jeff McCraw, Dist.

community would support its presence

Sam Hobgood, one of the speakers at
the protest and owner of Hobgood Hos

PHE Inc. controversy was a case of
town government being more concerned
with business than with the welfare of
the people.
“We want to be heard,” Hobgood
said. “It is the people that the govern
