Hillary Clinton said Wednesday she is the only presidential can didate who will begin a prompt drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq, and rival Sen. Barack Obama cast himself as the one best able to turn the nation's economy around. In making their claims at separate appearances. Clinton and Obama implicitly sug gested that Sen. John McCain, the likely Republican nominee, is not up to the task of running the country. McCain: Another war is ‘unlikely’ WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) Republican Sen. John McCain refused Wednesday to rule out a pre-emptive war against another country, although he said one would be very unlikely. The likely Republican presi dential nominee was asked Wednesday if he would reject “the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war," a reference to Bush's decision to invade Iraq. McCain said he would consult more closely and more carefully “not with every member of Congress, but certainly the leaders of Congress." AUDIT FROM PAGE 1 UNC-system administration and the auditor's office, Hall-Pittsley said. A routine financial audit of the university was already planned for September, so the state auditor incorporated the university 's report into its own and conducted its own investigation based off of the infor mation provided by WSSU. The results of the audit were released last week, beginning the 90- day period the university has been granted to remedy the situation. Nelson and Hall-Pittsley both attributed the problems to a lack of internal control and oversight within the financial aid office. “There were not standard pro cedures and processes for working with financial aid cases. The proper internal controls were not in place,’ Nelson said. “When you have a certain pro cess, you build into that process checks and balances."

The voting for anew assembly is intended to usher in sweeping changes for this long-troubled Himalayan country and will likely mean the end of a centu ries-old royal dynasty. But with one candidate gunned down, a protester shot dead by police and six former rebels slain in a clash with police, it was dear Troop surges are Army’s last resort WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - The top U.S. military command er in Iraq said Wednesday that he is unlikely to call for another troop buildup in Iraq, even if security deteriorates after the extra American soldiers return home this summer. Gen. David Petraeus told a House of Representatives panel that such a move would be con sidered the last resort, in part because of the strain it would place on the Army. “That would be a pretty remote thought in my mind," he said of reinstating last year's influx of troops $159,377 in total. Some of that is federal and state loan money, which might need to be repaid. Despite any financial shortfall the discrepancies might cause WSSU. it will not impact financial aid, both Nelson and Hall-Pittsley said. Hall-Pittsley said WSSU has already taken steps toward fixing the situation, internalizing more checks and balances, denying employees the ability to process family members’ paperwork and requiring financial aid awards to be approved by a financial aid director or assistant director. “We have revisited our pro cesses and have tightened them or enhanced them to prevent them from happening in the future," she said. Nelson said the audit should help prevent similar problems systemwide. ‘We try to use these as opportu nities to inform campuses of best practices, and we try to make sure we use those best practices.’ Contact the State £2 National Editor at stntdesk(a unc.edu.

Protests derail torches journey SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Olympic torch was rerouted away from thousands of demonstrators and spectators who crowded the city's waterfront Wednesday to witness the flame's symbolic jour ney to the Beijing Games. Faced with massive crowds of both pro- and anti-Chinese pro testers, the closing ceremony at the San Francisco Bay waterfront was canceled and moved to San Francisco International Airport The changes to the route and site of the closing ceremony were made amid security concerns fol lowing chaotic protests over the torch in Paris and London. Auditor Findings: ► Four university employees received financial aid awards that they were either not eligible for or were larger than those made to recipients with similar financial need. ► Out of a sample of 41 students, four were given excessive financial aid awards. ► Loans to students who withdrew from the university were either not returned to the lenders or federal government or were not returned in a timely manner. ► Financial aid was awarded to students who did not meet the university's academic requirements for receiving aid. ► Some university employees had inappropriate access to information and some terminated employees were not barred from accessing information. ► Bank reconciliations were not accurate and/or current.
