Clinton Wants to Raise
Minimum Wage to $5.15
WASHINGTON, D.C. —Insistingthat
a person cannot live on $4.25 an hour,
President Clinton invoked history and sta
tistics Saturday to try to persuade balking
Republicans to back an increase in the
minimum wage.
Clinton, in his weekly radio address,
reminded Republicans that it was his GOP
predecessor, George Bush, who approved
the most recent minimum-wage increase.
He also argued that because of inflation,
the purchasing power of the minimum
wage would hit a 40-year low next year.
Clinton on Friday unveiled a proposal
to increase the minimum wage by 90 cents
during two years, to $5.15 an hour. GOP
congressional leaders were skeptical, prom
ising a fair hearing and nothing more.
U.S. Leaves Door Open for
Resolving Trade Dispute
WASHINGTON, D.C. The warn
ing shots have been fired in the U.S.-China
trade war, but both sides are leaving room
for a truce before real damage is done to
one of the world’s most important trade
and political relationships.
The United States, exasperated by
China’s failure to crack down on intellec
tual property theft, on Saturday announced
100 percent tariffs on $ 1.08 billion worth of
Chinese products.
China retaliated and placed 100 percent
tariffs on a variety of U.S. products.
U.S. Trade Representative Mickey
Kantor’s pronouncement that “we are
drawing the line here today” on trade came
just three days after an annual State De
partment report faulting China.
Israeli Cabinet Refuses to
Allow Palestinians to Work
JERUSALEM Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin’s Cabinet on Sunday re
fused the PLO’s demands to allow tens of
thousands of Palestinians to return to jobs
in Israel.
While praising Palestine Liberation
Organization efforts to thwart violence,
ministers said the attempts were not enough
and agreed only to a minor easing oflsrael’s
two-week closure of the West Bank and
Gaza.
In its weekly session, the 18-member
Cabinet decided to readmit Palestinian
teachers and doctors into Israel and permit
the import ofPalestinian agricultural goods.
Deputy Palestinian Economics Minis
ter Samir Huleileh said the renewed export
of produce to Israel would bring impover
ished Palestinians a much-needed daily
infusion of $1 million.
Bosnian Croats, Muslims
Take Binding Arbitration
MUNICH, Germany—B osnian Croats
and Muslims agreed Sunday on binding
arbitration to decide how to make their
federation function and smooth growing
differences.
Shoring up the federation has been a
priority for international mediators work
ing on a peace plan for the area.
Assistant Secretary of State Richard
Holbrooke, who chaired a meeting of the
two sides with the mediators from the five
nation Contact Group, said Washington
was pleased with the pact.
Although the Bosnian Croats and Mus
lims are no longer fighting each other, little
progress toward a military and political
union has been made since Washington
brokered the federation last March.
Sectarian Violence Claims
21 in Pakistani Capital
KARACHI, Pakistan Gunmen with
automatic weapons fired on two Sunni
Muslim crowds Sunday, killing at least 21
people and wounding 26 in a burst of
sectarian violence in this troubled city.
It was one of Pakistan’s bloodiest days
in recent years and raised questions about
whether Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s
government can control the streets of the
nation’s biggest metropolis.
Police said they suspected Shiite Mus
lims had carried out Sunday’s attacks in
retaliation for a series of Saturday night
shootings in Karachi.
The increasingly bitter Sunni-Shiite feud
is one of several running battles in Karachi,
a city convulsed by ethnic, political and
religious violence in recent years.

Saturday’s win came exactly one month
after the Wolfpack(lo-9,2-7) handed UNC
its only loss, 80-70 at Reynolds Coliseum.

Williams said it was time to show N.C.
State what the real Tar Heels look like.
“We did want to get ’em back, because
we don’t think we played well that night, ”
he said. "We just wanted to come out and
show them that we’re a much better bas

In a Daily Tar 3.31 Conveying
Heel student survey, student concerns to
87 percent of respon- administrators
dents said that con
veying student concerns to administrators and the
Board of Trustees was “quite important” or “ex
tremely important” for the next student body presi
dent.
Student leaders and administrators laud stu
dents for their interest and point to a variety of
structures already in place to bridge the gap be
tween Hinton James and South Building, but many
said there was room for fine-tuning.
Student Body President George Battle said com
munication had been effective. “I think for the last
several years there has been excellent communica
tion.”
Battle said his position as an ex officio member
of the BOT had affected board decisions, citing the

including Jeremy Hyatt’s 3-for-3 marks
manship . Hyatt’s bomb from the right wing
put the ’Pack up 29-22 with 8:58 left in the
half.
But the Tar Heels were taking the Alfred
E. Newman approach—what, me worry?
“I wasn’t concerned from the tip,” cen
ter Rasheed Wallace said. “Even when
they had the lead and were hitting the 3s, I
wasn’t concerned. It was only a matter of
time.”
The fans didn’t seem too worried, ei
ther. In the first 12 minutes, they had all the
enthusiasm of a monk at a fbneral. But
during the third television timeout, the
band demanded that the people stand up,
and the masses responded.
Coincidentally, or possibly not, UNC
turned a 29-24 deficit into a 34-31 lead
during the next four minutes.
“Our band director (Jim Hile), he was
great,” head coach Dean Smith said. “I’m
going to givehim‘Cheerleader-of-the-Year
Award’ —and the band themselves.”
On the court, Pearce Landry’s trey broke
a3l -all tie, and after Ishua Benjamin retied
the game for State witha 3, Dante Calabria’s
15-footer gave UNC a lead it never relin
quished.
Thebackbreaker, though, came a minute
later. With the Tar Heels up 36-34 and the
half winding down, Williams pulled up for
a 22-footer at the top of the key. Swish.
“I know you all have seen that set time
and time again where we have a 1-4 and
some penetration move,” Williams said,
“and I just saw how Lakista was really
playing me for the penetration, so I caught
him, and I pulled up for the 3.”
It was a demoralizing blow forthe ’Pack,
which suddenly trailed by five despite lead
ing for much of the half and hitting 8-of-14
treys before the break.
“They hit a ton of 3s, and we were still
up (five) at half, so we were confident
because we felt like those shots were gonna
stop falling in the second half," said Jerry

Plan Attempts to Diversify
Mid and North Campus by
Reserving Spots for Blacks
BY MELISSA MILIOS
STAFF WRITER
The Racial Diversity Plan, a program
sponsored by the Residence Hall Associa
tion and the Department of University
Housing aimed at diversifying UNC’s resi
dence halls, will continue into the 1995-96
school year.
Aaron Nelson, executive assistant of
human relations for RHA, said the goal of
the program was to raise the percentage of
African-American students living on North
and Mid Campus to a percentage similar to
the one on South Campus.
In 1991, Christy Pons and Scott Peeler,
then RHA co-presidents, introduced the
Racial Diversity Plan.
In November, the Housing Advisory
Board and the RHA reviewed the plan.
After minor revisions to the plan, the com
mittee decided to continue it.
“The problem that housing and RHA
saw in 1991 was a great deal of campus
segregation and a lack of diversity on Mid
and North Campus, so they established the
program in an attempt to diversify the
entire campus,” Nelson said.
He said the revised 1994 Diversity Plan
would attempt to bring the population of
every residence hall to more than 8.9 per
cent African-American, the percentage of
African Americans enrolled in the Univer
sity.
Assistant Housing Director Anne
Presnell said the Diversity Plan had begun
as a way to distribute the African Ameri
cans throughout the campus.

Self-Study

As the deadline for reaccreditation draws
near, the University is striving to prove the
excellence of this institution. Recently, the
University completed a self-study that will
be used in December in the evaluation by
the Southern Organization of Colleges and
Schools.
Reaccreditation is a recurring process
for this university, said Darryl Gless, En
glish professor and chairman of the self-
study committee.
“Every 10 years,
universities like this
one need to be reac
credited. This is a
process started in
1845,” Gless said.
“It is done in order
to assure the public
quality education
without turning to
direct government
control.”
The process of
reaccreditation in
volves a two-year
self-study in which
members of the
J.
DARRYL GLESS,
chairman of the self
study committee, said
the report was
complete and in the
editing stages.
University examine the quality of the insti
tution and document their findings. The
results of the study are reviewed by the
SOCS. The SOCS has established 495 spe
cific criteria that must be met by the Uni
versity, Gless said.
“What our study does is show how the
University meets each of those criteria, ” he
said. “This study also emphasizes the
University’s teaching mission.
“We are about to finish the text,” he
said. “It will be about 350 pages long (and)
will be published around March.”
In order to perform the study, 10 task
forces were established to rate the different
programs in the school, Gless said.
They include a task force on intercolle
giate athletics, which suggested that ath
letes’ academic excellence should be con
sidered as a criterion in the annual deci
sions concemingcoaches’ salaries and pro
motions and in allocation of resources to
programs.
The task force commended the athletics
