Shoppers at South of the Border, located just off Interstate 95 across the N. C. border in South
Carolina, browse long aisles of fireworks in preparation for Fourth of July celebrations. Many peo

BUDGET CUTS
From Page 1
The fiscal year began July 1, but budget
writers failed to meet this deadline. They
instead passed a two-week continuing res
olution, which will keep the stftte govern
ment operating until July 16. “Hopefully
we’ll do this quickly,” Rand said. “People
need to know what the future holds.”
But the final budget still must gain the
approval of Gov. Mike Easley, and he
has indicated that will be difficult if a lot
tery bill is not included.

Tuesday. “I don’t expect them to
applaud our decision. I just hope they
understand the efforts that went into it.”
Some expressed the poor timing of
such an influential decision, however.
“Rezoning means the town will have
to review the development plan over
the summer,” said Ruby Sinreich, town
resident. “This is the wrong time to
make such a huge decision.”
The town will have 90 days to review
the development plan and is expected
to vote on the plan in early October.
Waldorf said Tuesday that the
University’s expansion was almost
inevitable.
“It’s clear ... that the town cannot
stand in the way of the University’s
growth," Waldorf said. “We have to per

their growth.”

Classrooms Get Atomic Clocks
Some UNC clocks receive
signals from the U.S. Atomic
Clock in Colorado, making
them accurate and efficient.
By Emily Drum
Staff Writer
UNC students have one less excuse
for being late to class.
This spring, the University began
installation into classrooms of a system
of highly accurate clocks dubbed “atom
ic” clocks, said Jim MacFarquhar, the
director of buildings services.
The clocks will receive signals from
the U.S. Atomic Clock in Colorado,
MacFarquhar said.
That clock, operated by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology, is
one of the most accurate clocks in die
world, according to the NIST Web site.

Israel to Continue Targeted Killings
Israeli officials contended
their assassination strategy
is necessary to counteract
Palestinian terrorism.
Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Despite criticism
from the United States, Israel decided
Tuesday to continue its policy of targeted
killings of suspected Palestinian militants.
The decision by a small group of
ministers known as the "kitchen
Cabinet" came after a two-day burst of
violence in which five Islamic militants
were killed by Israeli forces, a
Palestinian taxi driver was shot to death
by Israeli soldiers and two Israeli civil
ians -a shepherd and a shopper - were
killed, presumably by Palestinians.
Despite the fighting, Israelis and
Palestinians said they were not walking
away from the U.S.-brokered truce that
went into effect June 13. Each side
accused the other of violating the provi
sions of the cease-fire.
The State Department said Monday
that the Palestinians were not doing
enough to stem the violence, but
spokesman Richard Boucher also reiter
ated that the United States was "opposed
to Israel's policy of targeted killings."
Boucher's comment came a day after

strengths as a research institution.

Washburn said such docks can maintain
time accurate to a billionth of a second.
He said the principle behind the atom
ic clock is that it keeps time by counting
the vibrations of light given off by atoms
in a glass tube.
Despite the name, MacFarquhar said
there is nothing actually atomic about
the clocks that UNC installed.
“We just have what looks like a stan
dard classroom wall clock,” he said.
“(But these clocks) receive a low-fre
quency radio signal.”
MacFarquhar said the idea sprang
from former Student Body President
Brad Matthews, whose platform includ
ed putting a clock in every classroom.
In considering the idea, University
officials decided that atomic clocks
would best meet their needs, he said.
The clocks, powered by batteries that
can last up to six years, will also auto
matically switch themselves over for
daylight-saving time.
“We also had to address the issue of
an Israeli helicopter gunship killed three
Palestinians, members of the Islamic
Jihad group, who were riding in a car
packed with explosives.
Israel's deputy defense minister,
Dalia Rabin-Pelossof, who attended
Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, defended
targeted killings and said they would
continue if necessary.
"It is a policy of self-defense," she told
Israel radio. "When we know of a terror
ist who is a ticking bomb - meaning he is
on his way, carrying explosives, to carry
out an attack in Israel - it is incumbent on
us to prevent it and that is what we do."
Israel army radio went further, saying
ministers favored stepping up counter
terrorism operations.
Rabin-Pelossof, when asked about
reports that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon was weighing a general assault
against the Palestinian Authority if the
cease-fire collapsed entirely, said: "We
have to consider all the existing options."
Israeli Science Minister Matan Vilnai,
meanwhile, scoffed at the U.S. criticism.
"I'm not sure they (American offi
cials) really understand the rules of the
game," Vilnai told Israel radio. "I would
like to see how the Americans would
react if a car packed with explosives
blew up in the middle of Manhattan.
"I know how they would react, I
know the Americans quite well. It is

breadth of high-quality research,” Shelton
said. “It’s a highly competitive world.”
Waldrop also said he sees the position
as an important one for the University.
“It is an important post, first of all,
because research is one of the key ingre
dients on campus, given the amount of
research expenditures,” he said. “It’s one
of the three main missions of the
University, along with education and pub
lic service.”
The proposed Horace Williams
Master Plan, which would direct future
construction on the University’s nearby
Horace Williams property, includes
extensive plans for research-oriented
development of the tract. Waldrop said
he is enthusiastic about the possibility of
expanding UNC’s research facilities.
“I would like to see growth in the
arena,” Waldrop said. “I’m delighted to

where to locate the clocks,”
MacFarquhar added.
While some faculty members were
reluctant to have clocks at all, most pre
ferred them in the back of the class
rooms. Students wanted clocks in the
front MacFarquhar said. In most class
rooms, the clocks were installed on the
side walls.
There is not an atomic clock in every
classroom, but UNC has installed more
than 300 such clocks.
Though the University chose the
clocks for their convenience, the technol

unless you are in the midst of it all."
On Monday, two car bombs explod
ed in the central Israeli town of Yehud,
but no one was hurt. A radical
Palestinian group, the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine, claimed
responsibility and said the blasts were
revenge for Sunday's killing of the
Islamic Jihad activists.
Palestinians, meanwhile, said Israel
was violating the cease-fire.
"Even the American spokesman con
demned the Israeli government decision
to return to the assassination policy.
Therefore, this is the biggest violation of
the cease-fire," said Palestinian
Authority official Ahmed Abdel
Rahman. "The Israeli government does
not want to reach any arrangements,
unilaterally or with international partic
ipation, to implement the cease-fire."
The Israeli army, meanwhile,
announced Tuesday that Palestinians
found the body of a shepherd, Yair Har-
Sinai, who lived in the Jewish setdement
of Soussia in the southern West Bank.
Har-Sinai was shot to death at close range.
After the shooting, the army fired
flares to illuminate the nearby Palestinian
village of Yatta, Palestinian witnesses said.
Tracks from the shooting led to Yatta, said
Zvika Bar-Hai, a settlers’ leader.
Har-Sinai was the third victim of the
violence between Israel and the
Palestinians on Monday.

For the Record
The June 28 article, “Fare-free Busing
Factors Into Town Budget,” incorrectly
reported that a February referendum
passed allowing the cost of fare-free
busing to be included on tuition.
The referendum added to student fees.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the error.
