Students should come to Gate 5 of Powell Supports Affirmative Action Disagrees with president's stance Staff & Wire Reports Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday that he disagrees with President Bush’s position on an affirmative action case before the U.S. Supreme Court, as the White House called for more money for historically black colleges. Powell, one of two black members of Bush’s Cabinet, said he supports meth ods the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor uses to bolster minority enroll ments in its undergraduate and law school programs. The policies offer points to minority applicants and set goals for minority admissions. “Whereas I have expressed my sup port for the policies used by the University of Michigan, the president, in looking at it, came to the conclusion that it was constitutionally flawed, based on the legal advice he received,” Powell said on the CBS program “Face the Nation.” It was a rare public acknowledgment of disagreement with the president. President Bush criticized Wednesday an affirmative action program under review by the Supreme Court, calling the practices in question “divisive, unfair lA/fuzt do I Itnous about me? ... / know one day / (( uant to ftafrt a. but not yet • Birth Control • Pregnancy Testing • Abortion By Pill * • Surgical Abortion • IV Sedation (optional)* A • STD/HIV Tiling UCS Internship Fair Thursday, January 23, 2002 10:00am - 3:oopm Hill Alumni Center Organizations attending include: For a full list of organizations attending this year's fair, visit http://careers.unc.edu A Helping Hand North Carolina Amateur Sports a.p.p.l.e.s.

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said she backs Bush’s decision to step into the case and to argue that UM’s methods were uncon stitutional. She said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that there are “problems” with the university’s selection policies, citing the points system. But she also said race can be a factor in the selection process for colleges and universities. The brief the Bush adminis tration filed with the Supreme Court was silent on the issue of whether race should be a factor under some circum stances. “It is important to take race into con sideration, if you must, if race-neutral means do not work,” she said. In a speech at the Republican National Convention in 2000, Powell sharply criticized GOP attacks on affir mative action. “We must understand the cynicism that exists in the black community,” he said. “The kind of cynicism that is created when, for example, some in our party Mf V Senior Pictures iHF' January 20-24 in the Yackety Yack office.

The line will be arranged numerically into blocks of 100 students. Students absent during the mandatory line check will not be eligible to receive tickets. Students can receive as many as two tickets for each of the four games. They must present a valid ONE Card for each ticket they receive. Tickets for lower level seats and riser sections will be dis tributed randomly first. Kris Willett, president of CAA, said she expects to have between 4,000 and 6,000 tickets available for each of the four games, adding that the number varies because of the sale of mini season packages to alumni and other fans. miss no opportunity to roundly and loudly condemn affirmative action that helped a few thousand black kids get an education, but you hardly heard a whimper from them over affirmative action for lobbyists who load our feder al tax codes with preferences for special interests." Education Secretary Rod Paige is the other black member of Bush’s Cabinet. Paige firmly agrees with Bush’s stance a spokesman said Sunday. In an unusual announcement Sunday night, the White House said Bush’s bud get proposal for the upcoming fiscal year would increase funding by 5 per cent for grants to historically black col leges, universities, graduate programs and Hispanic education institutions. The money affects three programs: ■ The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program offers grants to 99 institutions to help them strength en infrastructure and achieve greater financial stability. ■ The Historically Black Graduate Institutions Program offers five-year grants to 18 institutions to help provide graduate-level education. ■ The Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program offers five-year grants to insti tutions with a full-time Hispanic enroll ment of at least 25 percent, 50 percent of which must be students from low income households. News But Willett said she also expects to distribute a lot of bracelets. “We usually distribute between 4,000 or 5,000 (bracelets),” she said. “These are all ACC games, so we hope to give out more.” Willett added that students also will be more excited about the Tar Heels due to their recent wins against Clemson and highly ranked Connecticut and that there likely will not be tickets left over after the distribution. This is the last ticket distribution before the Feb. 1 senior distribution for the game against Duke on March 9. It is the only distribution that features four games. U.N. 'Must Not Shrink' From War With Iraq, Powell Says The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS - Secretary of State Colin Powell, faced with stiff resis tance and calls to go slowly, bluntly told other nations on Monday that the United Nations “must not shrink" from its responsibility to disarm Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. “We cannot be shocked into impo tence because we’re afraid of the diffi cult choices ahead of us,” Powell told members of the U.N. Security Council. Directly responding to qualms regis tered by several foreign ministers in two days of talks, and with only Britain explic idy standing alongside the United States, Powell spoke of war as a real option. Germany’s foreign minister took a strong stand against military action, say ing it might have “negative repercus sions” for the international fight against terrorism. His French counterpart called war “a dead end.” Powell, speaking at a U.N. confer ence on terrorism and at a news confer ence, urged reluctant nations to focus on Baghdad’s failure to disarm and to prepare to weigh the consequences by the end of the month when U.N. inspec tors file a report on 60 days of searches in Iraq for illicit weapons. “If Iraq is not disarming, the United Nations cannot turn away from its responsibilities," Powell said. He said the U.N. Security Council, which is due to consider the reportjan. 2003 Michael Polanyi Lecture in the History and Philosophy of Natural Science Einsteins Clocks An exploration of the theory of relativity at the crossroads of technology, philosophy and physics Dr. Peter Galison Mallinckrodt Professor of the History of Science and of Physics Harvard University j Author of Einstein's Clocks, Jh Poincare's Maps * (forthcoming W.W.

Casting aside diplomatic ambiguity, Powell spoke directly of war. “Iraq has a responsibility now to avoid a conflict, to avoid a war,” he said.
