Vice President Strikes Out
At Opponents of Nominee
NASHVILLE, Term. Striking back
Monday in the row over President Clinton’s
surgeon general nominee, Vice President
A1 Gore called Dr. Henry Foster Jr. the
victim of an anti-abortion campaign to
intimidate Congress. “We’re not going to
let the extremists win,” he declared.
But critics of the Tennessee obstetrician
showed no sign of easingup. House Speaker
Newt Gingrich said in Georgia, “I think
he's going to be very hard to confirm. I
think it’s going to be a very embarrassing
set of hearings.”
But Mike McCurry, White House press
secretary, also joined in the tougher rheto
ric the White House has begun using. He
said extremists in the right-to-life move
ment “have now hooked Republicans and
Congress by the nose.”
House Speaker Won't Run
For President in '96 Race
SMYRNA, Ga.—House SpeakerNewt
Gingrich ended a brief flirtation with the
1996 presidential race Monday, saying he
had decided it was more important to con
centrate on the ambitious GOP congres
sional agenda.
Few Republicans actually believed
Gingrich would enter the race, given his
longtime desire to be speaker, his often
controversial views and pending ethics in
vestigations.
But many activists urged him to run,
especially after other prominent conserva
tives, including former Vice President Dan
Quayle and former HUD Secretary Jack
Kemp, announced they would forgo the
1996 race. Gingrich encouraged specula
tion by scheduling a visit to New Hamp
shire, which holds the first primary.
Chechnya, Russia Reach
Limited Cease-Fire Truce
GROZNY, Russia Russians and
Chechens drank a toast to their dead Mon
day, then agreed to safeguard the living
with a limited truce that halts the use of
heavy artillery.
But reports of sporadic fighting in and
around Grozny, the capital, tempered
hopes that the latest cease-fire in the two
month war could succeed where others
have failed.
Vladimir Nikanorov, a Russian Defense
Ministry spokesman, said the agreement
was reached during five hours of talks
between the commander ofßussian troops
in Chechnya, Col. Gen. Anatoly Kulikov,
and Aslan Maskhadov, the chief of
Chechen forces.
Under the pact, fighting with heavy
artillery will stop today.
Israeli Taxi Driver Killed
In Occupied West Bank
JERUSALEM—A 60-year-old Israeli
taxi driver was stabbed to death Monday
on the main road from Jerusalem to a
nearby Jewish settlement in the West Bank.
The driver, Refael Cohen, was found in
critical condition in his taxi parked near an
army roadblock. He died en route to the
hospital.
Jerusalem police commander Aryeh
Amit said police were investigating the
possibility that the assailants had been
Palestinian militants but hadn’t ruled out
criminal motives for the attack.
Dozens of police backed by helicopters
searched the area. Police found a knife that
might have been used to stab Cohen.

Gov. Hunt's Budget Proposal Criticized

said Monday that he was disappointed by
Gov. Jim Hunt’s budget proposal that
would involve a “substantial” decrease in
funding
throughout the
UNC system.

SBP Candidates Do Last-Minute Campaigning
BY KAMAL WALLACE

With their campaigns coming to a close,
student body president candidates are do
ing everything they can to get their points
out to the student body.
John Dervin, campaign manager for
Stacey Brandenburg, said he wanted to get
the point across that Brandenburg was the
best candidate.
“We are go

what I consider will be my basis of support,
but we’re still recruiting people into the
campaign,” Cunningham said. He said
members of his campaign staff were also
coordinating which people would hand
out literature at which poll sites today.
Candidate Kelly Jo Gamer said her
tactics would be similar to her opponents’.
“We want to have more publicity out
there so my staff will be going door to door
and chalking the sidewalk,” she said.
“I learned a lot about campus policy at
the University,” she said. “The campaign
reflects who I am and what I stand for.”
In many of the races, “dirty” politics
have not been a factor.
Brandenburg supporter Lara Ramsey
believes the candidates have followed the
rules. “Rumors are going around, but for
the most part, [the campaigns] have been
clean,” she said.
Most of the candidates plan to watch
the election results Tuesday night.
“We will be getting everyone together
at Carroll Hall, room 106 and see what
happens,” Dervin said.
Gamerplans a more casual atmosphere.
“I will be eating at Lenoir and going to
Manning Hall to watch the election results
after 6 p.m.,” she said.
Candidates Jen Fiumara, Andrew
France and Robert Simes could not be
reached for comment.

Brandenburg Receives Warning

The Elections Board has issued a warning to the
campaign of student body president candidate Stacey
Brandenburg for putting handbills under doors in
Whitehead Residence Hall.
Elections Board Chairwoman Erin Lewis said
the fliers were probably distributed Sunday.
She said she began receiving phone calls Sunday
evening from residents about the distribution of the
handbills.

BOG to Enforce
Out-of-State
Student Limit
BY BRIAN VANN
STAFF WRITER
The UNC Board of Governors voted Friday to install a plan
penalizing UNC-system schools for exceeding the 18 percent
maximum on out-of-state student enrollment.
The board, the policy-making body for the 16 UNC-system
schools, decided to implement financial penalties for exceeding
the 18 percent limit.
BOG Vice Chairman Joseph Thomas said the 18 percent out
of-state policy should be enforced.
“This policy [the 18 percent limit] has been out there for years
and has been violated,” Thomas said. “We’ve got mandates from
the General Assembly to start enforcing it.”
Under the new policy, UNC-system schools that exceed the
limit on entering undergraduates two years in a row will have a
portion of their funding withheld. The amount of funding denied
will be determined by the percentage of out-of state students.
Provost Richard McCormick said the University would take
the necessary measures to get out-of-state enrollment under the 18
percent limit.
“We’re taking it very seriously because the penalty is very
severe,” McCormick said. “The admissions staff is going to be
very cautious and will try to be under 18 percent. We will,
however, try to remain as close to that number as possible.”
He said the recent rise in out-of-state students was a result of a
steady increase in the number of students who decided to attend
the University after being admitted.

to our university, one of the cornerstones
of the state’s reputation,’’ he said.
Spangler said the faculty deserved an
increase in salary greater than one adjusted
to reflect an increase in the cost of living.
“I don’t think we should advocate fac
ulty salary increases just equal to the cost of
living increase. It’s extremely counterpro
ductive to the interests of the state, not only
in the educational realm, which is para
mount, but economically as well,” he said.
