4 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2004 Israel policy shift may elicit accord THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM lsrael is pre pared to coordinate its pullout from Gaza with anew Palestinian government, officials said Sunday, a shift from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s concept of “unilateral disengagement” and a sign that cooperation may be restored in the post-Arafat era. Security forces already are qui etly cooperating with each other, Israeli officials said. One went so far as to say, “It’s back to business.” But Palestinian and Israeli security sources said beyond rou tine contacts at field commander level, which have been maintained despite the violence, no coordina tion is underway. In the Rafah refugee camp on the Gaza-Egyptian border late Sunday, an Israeli tank fired a shell at three Palestinians crawling in a forbidden zone, the military said. Palestinians said two wounded men were brought to a hospital. The fate of the third was unknown.

FRANKLIN - 968 SUBS DURHAM CHAPEL HILL Palestinians said in addition that a doctor was killed and another man was hurt in a salvo of 12 Israeli tank shells in the camp. They said the two were playing cards next to a fire when they were hit by shrapnel. Since Arafat’s death Nov. 11, both sides have been projecting posi tive signals about cooperation for Palestinian elections on Jan. 9 and resumption of peace talks. Israel boycotted Arafat, charging that he was involved in terrorism, and no significant contacts between the two sides have taken place for more than a year. Now, the Israelis are promot ing the idea that with Arafat gone, things can change. In separate interviews with Newsweek magazine, Sharon said he would be willing to coordi nate the hand-over of Gaza with Palestinian forces, and interim Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said he would take respon sibility for the areas, but only after his security arm is rebuilt. Education say all data will be kept secure, even from other federal agencies. “NCES has a long history of pro tecting students’ data,” the review panel stated. “It is a Class E felony, with a $250,000 fine and a five year jail term, for NCES to allow a disclosure of individual data.” Officials noted that universities already turn over student data to the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes, and individual records are kept on every student From Page One Iraqi terrorist group claims Mosul attacks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq lraq’s most feared terror group claimed respon sibility Sunday for slaughtering members of the Iraqi security forces in Mosul, where dozens of bodies have been found. The claim raises fears the terror group has expanded to the north after the loss of its pur ported base in Fallujah. Meanwhile, insurgents attacked U.S. and Iraqi targets in Baghdad and in Sunni Arab areas. Iraq’s deputy prime minister, Barham Saleh, said sticking to the Jan. 30 election timetable would be a challenge, but delaying it would bolster the insurgents’ cause. Two U.S. soldiers were injured in a Baghdad attack, and another American soldier died in a traffic accident north of the capital, the military said. U.S. and Iraqi forces killed 17 suspected insurgents in raids south of the capital Sunday, Iraqi police said. Operations there included a dawn speedboat assault by U.S. Marines and British and Iraqi troops on suspected insurgent receiving federal financial aid. Any change would depend on an amendment to the Higher Education Act, which is up for reauthorization in January. If Congress approves the mea sure, officials hope to conduct a field test during the 2006-07 aca demic year and fully implement the new system by 2007-08. But Flanagan said she questions whether more detailed informa tion actually will lead to better public policy. SHOPPING FROM PAGE 1 as spotters on the roof who help direct shoppers to open spaces in busy parking lots. The ambience of malls also is stepped up to appeal to shoppers and their families. Johnson said The Streets At Southpoint hired street performers who juggle and blow up balloons while dressed in holiday costumes. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus also will sit in the middle of the mall throughout the season, taking pictures and hearing the wishes of children. The holiday shopping season is not just big for malls. Stores such as Wal-Mart and Toys “R” Us rely on it as well. Eric Shih, professor of market ing at Wake Forest University’s Babcock Graduate School of Management, said the toy giant is facing stiff competition from the retail giant. 19 Duke University Medical Center The Genetics of Environmental Asthma 9 Healthy non-smokers ( a g e 18-40), with mild asthma without allergies are asked to Jjf hSBHh participate in an asthma study. jgK Three visits required.

Churwn Street auTboro Hillsborough 967-504 8 4Q3 6285 792-8662 hideouts along the Euphrates River, British media reported. A statement posted on an Islamist Web site in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq, led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for killing 17 members of Iraq’s secu rity forces and a Kurdish militia man in Mosul, where insurgents rose up this month in support of guerrillas facing a U.S.-led assault in Fallujah. The claim could not be inde pendently verified but the style of writing appeared similar to other statements by al-Zarqawi’s group, which is responsible for numerous car bombings and beheadings of foreign hostages in Iraq. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for al-Zarqawi’s capture the same amount it is offering for Osama bin Laden. At least 50 people have been killed in Mosul in the past 10 days. Most of the victims are believed to have been supporters of Iraq’s interim government or members of its fledgling security forces. “We believe we know enough about it already that you can make good policy decisions,” she said, adding that states with individual record systems haven’t necessarily shown an improvement in higher education. “This will certainly tell us more; there’s no question,” she said. “I’m quite certain it’s not worth giving up students’ privacy to accomplish it” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. “Toys ‘R’ Us are actually in quite a position right now because they are competing with Wal-Mart,” he said. “Wal-Mart is the No. 1 leader for toy sales right now.” And Wal-Mart’s sales typically aren’t too shabby on Black Friday. The store had sales of $1.52 bil lion nationwide on the day after Thanksgiving last year, though Wal- Mart spokeswoman Sharon Weber said the day’s impact is overrated. “We kind of think people put too much emphasis on that one day” she said. She might be right Kavanagh said a boost in sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving might give way to stagnation before increasing again closer to Christmas Day. “You’ll get a big jump in the beginning, but it will die down,” he said. “You know we are a nation of procrastinators.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. BUY NOTHING FROM PAGE 1 approved of the consumer culture,” he said. Ken Rumble, a volunteer who organized the poetry readings, said he believes Black Friday is an inappropriate capitalization on Thanksgiving. Participant Rachel Whetten also said she thinks of modern American culture as being too consumer-driven. She said she that tries not to do any shopping on the day after Thanksgiving but that if she does need to buy something, she buys from local merchants. SCHOOL BOARD FROM PAGE 1 it has changed, and it has stayed the same.” Candidate Artie Franklin, a technical writer who ran as a Libertarian for one of the open commissioner seats, said the dis trict’s achievement gap is his big gest concern. Gary Kayye, a consultant with Kayye Consulting Inc., has twice served as the president of Glenwood Elementary School’s PTA. He said the biggest issue facing the school board is maintaining the quality of the system while dealing with growth. Candidate Belinda Zayas said her Hispanic background would bring anew perspective on minor ity issues to the board.

And Long said some farmers are changing their products altogether to contribute to anew market, such as raising catfish or talapia. “Farmers are moving out of row crops and into fish farming,” he said. The increase in fish farming has brought the state to No. 5 nation ally in catfish raising. Linda Weiner, assistant secre tary of communications and exter nal affairs for the N.C. Department of Commerce, said the state’s tex tile industry also is finding niche markets, such as the production of disposable diapers and surgical gowns. But many farmers find it easier to give up farming altogether. The tobacco buyout, recently approved by Congress, presents farmers with options. Many older farmers will retire, and the younger ones might start to farm something other than tobacco, Long said. “Money talks,” he said. “Farming never has been easy as a profes sion.” Farming quotas have dropped (SSS^H Your personal doctor away from home* Se habla Espanol / Cpsn 7 days a week / Appointments accepted but not necessary Some of the services we offer are: • contraception counseling & STD screenings • ADD evaluations • stress management • we offer a pky~up~front option • visit our website for insurance info We ensure confidentiality! 10 minutes from cimpus in Ram’s Plaza, corner of 15-501 Bypats & Ephesus Church Road ~ Bus lines C, CD, DJ/night ~ 968.1985 • wwvr.ncfamilydoctor.com ty T\ Tp Need-based JL >| vJi Scholarships SUMMER SCHOOL Available Summer School Abroad Registration flonlinurs Thnmgli .Vlareli 7.
