(% laiUj (Ear Uppl Hopeful for CIA job promises objectivity THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Bush’s nominee to head the CIA promised Tbesday to shed his politi cal past and provide precise, objec tive and independent intelligence to the president and Congress. But he also cautioned it might take longer than the past CIA director’s estimate to hire and train all the operatives needed worldwide to combat terrorism and other threats. “I have made a commitment to nonpartisanship,” retiring Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla., told the Senate Intelligence Committee at his con firmation hearing. He conceded that during his 16 years in Congress he might “at times” have engaged in debate with too much vigor. “Rest assured, however, I under stand completely the difference in obligations the position of (direc tor of central intelligence) carries with it and that which the role of a congressman carries,” said Goss, who formerly chaired the House Intelligence Committee. If confirmed, Goss would take VIRGINIA FROM PAGE 1 On the move Public universities have been moving toward privatization and autonomy for several years now. But Clara Lovett, president of the American Association of Higher Education, said the movement now seems to be accelerating rapidly. “There is less and less difference in behavior between public and pri vate research universities,” she said. “(The two) are becoming much more alike than different in terms of what they do, what they value and how they support programs.” That change is exactly what critics are afraid of— the devaluing of the public these schools were created to serve. The main result of a move toward privatization is an increase in out-of state students. Many are afraid this shift deters schools from fulfilling their mission of public education. “If you operate like a private uni versity, you don’t have to make any distinction between resident stu dents and those from out-of-state,” Lovett said. In 2003,31 percent of the under graduates who enrolled at UVa. were from out of state, bringing the school’s entire nonresident enroll ment to 38 percent. UNC-system schools cannot admit more than 18 percent nonresi dent undergraduates, although there was a movement last September spearheaded by UNC Chancellor James Moeser to raise that cap to 22 percent. “It’s very important to make that distinction between us and UVa.,” Shelton said. “We still have a commitment to public education and the educa tion of the children of taxpayers, as opposed to getting as much money from out-of-students as you can by charging them higher tuition.” Take 15/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Vain St./Southern Village HERO IEHJ 1:45-4:00-7:00-9:30 CELLULAR BHS 1:10-3:15-5:15-7:15-9:35 RESIDENT EVIL 2: APOCALYPSE D 1:00-3:05-5:10-7:25-9:45 THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE IB 1:15-4:15-7:10-9:50 Matinees SS.OO Io 1 o l itTl| SEATlifc DMT Wrtl WTn U/rtDlfl Attend w*hiwi ■ln I 1 Mm these Bring a draft of your resume to be critiqued by a UCS counselor. 10:00 am -2:00 pm _____events HOWTO PREPARE FOR AiQB FAIR .. . 4 . , to get Prepare yourself for interacting with employers I Tue, Sept 21 participating employers at careers.unc.edu/fairs/studeiitsearch.htiiil ready* Topics include appropriate dress, materials to bring to 4:00-5:00 pm career fairs, developing an effective introduction, and more. 2398 Hanes Hall Minority Career Night 55+ Employers September 22nd, 6-9 pm M MWV Great Hall, Student Union ■ Nl/'f mmnmifi Dean Smith Center 1/ I p JlfirA Attend these exciting events to team about jobs, internships, networking, contacts, and careers!

Tenet blamed the situation on tight bud gets after the Cold War. Goss, however, said Tuesday it would take more than five years to train and place all the clandestine operatives the CIA needs. “I don’t believe five is enough,” Goss said. “It’s a long build-out, a long haul. It’s been started. “ In his testimony, Gloss also out lined a series of commonly cited priorities for the U.S. intelligence community. They included improv ing human intelligence and analytic capabilities, expanding intelligence sharing with state and local law enforcement agencies and enhanc ing foreign language capabilities. A former Army intelligence and CIA clandestine officer, Goss would assume at a tumultuous time the helm of the CIA and the dual role as head of the 14 other agencies in the U.S. intelligence community. The other side The University of California sys tem has taken almost the opposite approach to remedy budget short falls. “In the state of California, we’ve been experiencing a budget crisis over the past four years,” said Hanan Eisenman, a UC spokesman. The system’s budget fell from $2.9 billion in 2003-04 to $2.72 billion this year, a reduction of 6 percent. The system’s Board of Regents passed a plan in May that outlines the system’s funding intentions and goals for accountability during the next few years. Starting next school year, system schools are set to receive budget increases instead of cuts. “(The plan) ends the cuts, stops the bleeding and stabilizes the state report over the next few years,” Eisenman said. The plan contrasts heavily with UVa’s request for a charter. The UC system worked closely with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office to devise a plan that would appease both school and state officials. Eisenman also says the system tries to negotiate a budget with the state legislature each year, including tuition and fee rates. But contrary to UNC-system schools that rely on the state leg islature, the UC-system Board of Regents has final say on decisions about tuition increases. Shelton said universities’ tendency to think more like private schools is important as both public and private institutions compete for the same faculty and students. “We have to work hard so there are great public universities 20 and 30 and 40 years from now. I love the great privates, but you don’t want them to be the only ones left in the game.” Contact the State fit National Editor at stntdesk@unc.ediL f MOVIES AT TIMBERLYNE Weaver Dairy at Airport Rd.

Piedmont provides health care on a sliding payment scale. If the patient has no insurance, he or she will be billed based on income, Carey explained. “We’ve been evolving over the past 10 years,” Carey said. “But we haven’t changed our payment scale.

All of this is bad news for a state heavy in agriculture, particularly in the harvest season. “At this juncture, the biggest risk is going to be to the harvest,” said Guido van der Hoeven, extension specialist and agricultural economist at N.C. State University. The quality of crops is a big question, he said, as flooding could deteriorate yields of apples and cotton and in turn hurt sales. “Now you’re going to have lower quality (products),” he said. “So instead of getting full price, you’re going to have a 20 percent deduct” Long-term damage also is a concern, as continued bad weather could mean damaged crops in future growing seasons as well as tom-up fields, costing farmers more in repair CONGRESS FROM PAGE 1 the interest equal to the money spent,” David Rutledge, Federalist Society president, said during the meeting. Kris Wampler, vice chair of the finance committee, said members should not debate Keyes’ politics when designating funding. “I think it’s obvious that he’s a controversial guy and he would generate debate,” Wampler said. “We should not question his pol itics; it has nothing to do with anything.” Parker Wiseman, chairman of "The Music of Your Life is David Sedaris meets Raymond Carver.

State officials already have begun preparations for Ivan, said Patty McQuillan, public information officer for the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. With such high risk for flooding, she said, an emergency response team including the N.C. National Guard and the Red Cross has met to discuss opening shelters early and evacuating western North Carolina. “The main message that people should know is not to drive in flooded waters,” she said. “If you can’t see the line in the road, don’t drive through the water.” Contact the State (si National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. the ethics committee, said appro priating $7,000 to fund the speech is “a worthwhile expenditure.” Wiseman added that the Federalist Society was thorough in complying with the criteria required for Congress to allocate funding to student organiza tions. Rutledge said that students who are not in favor of having Keyes speak at the University will be affile to voice their concerns during a question-and-answer session after Keyes’ speech.
