HH XiiA CS will consist of two housekeepers, Student Body President Justin Young, four facilities services staff members and the director of on-campus minority recruitment, Archie Ervin. Heuer hopes to begin meetings dur ing the second week of May after the April 30 application deadline. Heuer said he has received a number of local, regional and national applications since the search began in February. The new director will fill the position presendy held by acting director William Burston. Burston was appoint ed to the position when director Michael O’Brien resigned in 1999 fol lowing a union protest. UE-150, the labor union that represents UNC’s house keepers, leveled claims of unfair treatment and wages at the University. The new director also will likely have to deal with growing concern about the treatment of housekeepers on campus. Housekeepers and student protesters say poor working conditions - mis treatment and underpay - are an exam ple of institutional racism at UNC. Barbara Prear, leader of the house keeping union UE-150, said assigning a new director will not resolve problems. “All the director does is direct,” Prear said. “He doesn’t make the rules.” Heuer has yet to speak to the two housekeepers on the committee - Sandra Clinton and Linda Keenan -but said he hopes their participation on the committee will play a crucial role in choosing a successful candidate. Heuer is scheduling meeting times so that all com mittee members, especially the house keepers, will be able to attend. Heuer said his brief experience as a housekeeper during the 1970s has made him sensitive to the workers’ issues. “We want a person who will provide the best leadership for the benefit of the University and the housekeepers.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Northwestern Mutual FINANCIAL NETWORK" Join us for an information session immediately following the Spring Job Fair! Wednesday, April 11, 2001 7:00-7:30 p.m. ~ Social 7:30-9:00 p.m. ~ Information session Carolina Inn 211 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill Contact: Melinda Brashears, 919-401-0357 News Bush Plan to Trim Federal Programs The Associated Press WASHINGTON - President Bush sent Congress on Monday the full details of his $1.96 trillion budget, promising to restrain what he considers the excessive growth of government spending by trimming a multitude of government programs, from energy conservation to putting police on the streets. The nearly 5-inch-thick stack of blue budget books, which fleshes out the broad budget outline the president released in February, seeks to put the new administration’s stamp on die fed eral government by rolling back many initiatives promoted by former President Clinton’s administration. All of the cuts make room for Bush’s signature proposal, a $1.6 trillion, 10- year tax cut, while also using a projected $5.6 trillion surplus over the next decade to pay down a record amount of the national debt Democrats contended Bush was cutting programs too severely. In his full budget, Bush re-estimated the cost of his campaign-promised tax cut at $1.49 trillion over 10 years, giving him room to add some new tax breaks to the package, the biggest of which is a $52.9 billion program to provide up to $2,000 in tax credits to help low-income families pay for health insurance. The administration is recommending a 17 percent cut in a key Clinton anti crime program that aimed to put 100,000 new police officers on city streets. Part of the savings would be redirected to beef ing up security at the nation’s schools. In an effort to attack corporate wel fare, programs to support shipbuilding, energy conservation at American com panies and subsidies for American exports all would be trimmed. There were spending increases in the Bush budget to meet campaign promises and to support favored initiatives. Bush has made reforming education a key pri ority and his budget would boost discre tionary spending at the Department of Education by 11.5 percent, the biggest increase for any Cabinet agency. In all, the budget proposes outright cuts in 10 of the government’s 25 major agencies. The biggest cuts would occur at the departments of Agriculture and Transportation. In education, the administration approved significant increases in such areas as support for charter schools and helping states develop reading and math Campus Calendar Today 11 a.m. - Sign up for the Living History: Holocaust Survivor Luncheon today through Monday, April 16, at the Union Desk.

Saily alar Brel student assessment programs, fulfilling Bush campaign promises. But many Clinton initiatives would be cut or scaled back. These include programs to support doctor training at children’s hospitals, efforts to combat nuclear proliferation by assisting Russian nuclear scientists and tax cred its to boost economic development in poor neighborhoods. Bush budget writers said that in many cases the savings would be devoted to the same problems but through different programs that the new administration believes will offer a greater payoff. In all, the budget for the 2002 fiscal year that begins Oct 1 would spend $1.96 trillion, a 5.6 percent increase over this year. It would hold the growth in discre tionary spending - everything but spend ing on mandatory benefit programs - to a 4 percent increase, far below the 8.7 percent increase in budget authority that Clinton got for the current fiscal year.
