The United States struck at the Iraqi insurgency hours later, destroying a warehouse in Baghdad and chasing attackers who were seen firing mortars. The Nasiriyah attack was the deadliest against a U.S. ally since the occupation began and CONGRESS FROM PAGE 3 event’s donors. In its contract with the Carolina Union Activities Board, the group reserved 50 seats. “These were the students who helped publicize the event, who helped land the event,” Costas said. At the speech, 78 seats were reserved nine for the events donors and the rest tor members of his organization, Costas said. The organization opened about SCHOLARS FROM PAGE 3 future,” Mlvn said. He added that a major transi tion in the financial infrastructure of the program might be imple mented as early as the next calen dar year.

It came on the same day the chief U.S. administrator for Iraq went to the White House to put forth proposals on transferring more authority to Iraqis. Col.

This conflict comes after Finance Committee members were upset by the number of seats reserved at political commentator Ann Coulter’s speech earlier this fall. “That’s why we felt that w'e were right in being able to question this,” Kleysteuber said. Congress didn't question the Coulter speech, she said, because it was the “first strike.” versity but who are familiar with institutions of higher learning, said Robert Thompson Jr., chairman of the program's University Coordinating Committee. “There is nothing routine about the Robertson program, but this is a routine evaluation," he said. Robertson Scholars said that they also think the program offers recipients a unique college oppor tunity but that there is room for improvement. Chris Scoville, a junior Robertson Scholar at Duke, said making the transition between campuses is hard on students. £ C* 35 Chinese has the best variety of Chinese food around.

The bomber whose nation ality was not known also died. The blast wounded 79 people, 20 of them Italians, hospital sources and Italian officials said. Italians were stunned by their nation’s single worst military loss since World War II and its first in the Iraq campaign. At Rome’s tomb of the unknown soldier, the green-white-and-red flag rippled at half-staff. Kleysteuber said that at Stein’s speech College Republicans also failed to acknowledge the funding they received through student fees as mandated by the Student Code. Costas said he thinks the deci sion “is a petty political situation.” But Kleysteuber said the situa tion is far from political. “It is not a sanction on the group. It is not anything permanent.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. On top of scheduling courses that will transfer to their home school, participants must deal with the hassle of switching campuses for a four-month period. “That’s a huge stress for a lot of people," Scoville said. Mlyn admitted that the program still is experiencing some growing pains but said the overall product has been a great success. “We’re absolutely satisfied and we’re always changing things," Mlyn said. “We're learning as we go.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. GROWTH FROM PAGE 3 “We have seen recently that our enrollment growth funding is essentially the majority of new funding that we have,” Davies said. “Thition receipts have gone up, so one can draw the conclusion that those receipts are being used to fund enrollment growth.” Rand said he dislikes the idea of using tuition hikes to pay for enroll ment growth. He said he hopes the economy will rebound and provide lawmakers the necessary revenue to support continued growth.

A proposed increase in the per centage of nonresident students admitted to UNC-system schools might complicate the growth issue further, said Lisa Kimbrough, com munications assistant to House Co speaker Richard Morgan, R- Moore. Increasing the number of out-of-state students wouldn’t help generate enough revenue to fund enrollment growth, she said. Regardless of the funding source, Davies said, a certain amount of funding is crucial to sustain enrollment growth. “We have to have the funds to provide for new students if we’re going to accept new students.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. 11 Terra firma 12 Astronomer Tycho 13 More docile 21 Knickknack spot 22 Resembling: suff. 23 Author Jong 24 Mortise mate 25 Unable to sit still 29 Govt, publishing grp. 30 Volcanic flow 33 Pond scum 34 Up to, briefly 36 Maori figurines 37 Writer Madame de 38 Back of a 45 40 Condense and list ■■■■■■Tr' - 47 4^|-“ Fall Specials msirsfc*' and Brakes 407 E.
