The former president's meeting with the freed hostages was "emotional to the point of awkwardness,' and so moving that a photographer was asked to stop taking pictures at one point, a Carter aide said. Even as Carter met with the Americans, the U.S. government reported some of the former captives had been subjected to physical and mental mistreatment during their 444 days as hostages In Iran. .' The State Department issued a statement here, based on pre liminary interviews, saying that "on the basis of what we have learned so far, we have further evidence of serious mistreat ment in a number of cases during the period of their captivity." It did not elaborate. Carter was denied the chance of announcing the hostages freedom while still in office. But as a special envoy of President Ronald Reagan, he said he would be able to "express the thanks of a grateful nation to the brave Small groups of the former hostages gathered on the third floor balcony outside their hospital rooms, waving and clapping as Carter's limousine drove up. Several of them, including Marine guards, wore only light T-shirts and blue pajama bottoms in the sub-freezing night air. The Marines appeared to have new haircuts. Other American dignitaries who made the pre-dawn flight to Germany included former Vice President Walter Mondale, former Secretaries of State Cyrus Vance and Edmund Muskie, former Treasury Secretary G. William Miller and Carter aides Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell. The former hostages were expected to spend several days at the hospital as a "decompression" period during which they will be examined by doctors and questioned about their experiences.

There had been only one case reported during the week ending Dec. 17. "It seems that there is a strain going around (of A-Bangkok) that has been identified and isolated,' he said. "You could call this an epidemic, but the word has become an expletive." Monday, the infirmary saw the largest number of patients in 1980-1981, more than 400, with 150 being flu cases. While the number of flu cases per day has not declined, it has begun to level off and should decline within the next, two weeks, McCutchan said. "This type of outbreak usually comes and goes inside of four weeks. It should be ending around Valentine's Day," he said. The student infirmary is well-equipped to handle the sudden increase in the number of patients, McCutchan said, although some of the staff also has contracted the flu. - Ronald Reagn became the 40th president of the United States Tuesday Symptoms, of the flu include fever, headache, in Washington D.C. and as many as 70,000 people were on hand, cough, runny nose, sore throat and muscle aches. However," not all of them had a bird's-eye view. See page 8. ; Complications from the flu are pneumonia, sinusitis, bronchitis and earaches. McCutchan recommended plenty of rest, fluids and aspirin. Although Davidson College was- closed, McCutchan said that it was too late to impose a quarantine at UNC because many students had already been exposed to the germ at home during holidays, in the classrooms and at the two home basketball games last week. "This is not a pandemic year (of influenza) where no one has immunity," he said. . , It is also too late for vaccinations, but McCutchan advised students to see a doctor if they had any symptoms. "Some feel embarrassed to find out they could have stayed home," McCutchan said, "but we'd rather listen for nothing than have pneumonia ignored." While the number of patients is high this year, McCutchan said this was not the worst epidemic on UNC's campus. "This is nowhere close to the worst.. As far as I know, nobody has died." " It could have been worse. An epidemic of the Spanish flu in 1918 claimed the lives of University President Edward Kidder Graham and four students. Approximately 300 students caught the flu and the town was placed under quarantine. McCutchan said the deaths could have been attributed to the lack of antibiotics and a bad strain of influenza. In the Triangle area, N.C. State reported 289 cases of influenza. Figures were unobtainable at Duke University, but a spokesperson said the school was not hit by the bug as hard as UNC. dig Cy XXIUIY BEHOCIII Staff Writer During last year's budget process the Campus Governing Council was accused of eating too much pizza during the pro ceedings. The red problem, however, was not the pizza but the process. The rushed schedule did not give council members the time to consider effectively the organizations' buder requests. , An analysis Each year the council must allocate the $185,000 in student fees to recog nized student organizations. Last year, several organizations were denied fund ing and charged that the allocation of fees was based more on what time the group appeared before the council than whether the program deserved funding. The council has answered these accu sations through the work of the Budget Review Committee. The committee, which began its study in October, presented its answers to the budget prob lems to the full council in November. The final process was approved Tuesday. Committee Chairman Randy Harry said the biggest problem with last year's,, process was the time constraints which did not allow for careful evaluations. "The biggest problem by far in the past was CGC members being too rushed," Harry said. "Now, every aspect of the budget process has been expanded." Through a constitutional referendum, to be voted on Feb. 10, and a change in the election laws, council members would have considerably more time to evaluate the budgets. A change in the election laws has moved the election from a Wednesday to a Tuesday in February. If approved by the student body, the referendum will move the inauguration of new council members to 15 days after the election in stead of four weeks. Council members would have the orientation session the week following the election. The budget process would then begin on the first Tuesday in March. This would be two weeks earlier than the first council meeting last year. ' The Increased amount of time, GCG speaker Cynthia Currin said, would help communications between the organizations and the council. With the additional time, a more thorough organization orientation ii meeting could be held. At this meeting the criteria used for funding and the treasury laws would be discussed. Members 'of the CGC would demonstrate how to fill out a budget ' request form and answer any questions the groups had. All of this would help eliminate confusion when the budget process actually began. Better communication also would occur . when each group's requests were evaluated i by a subcommittee of six instead of 14, as was the case last year. For this reason, special subcommittees would be ' estab lished from both the Student Affairs Com mittee and the Rules and Judiciary Com mittee. The subcommittees would each meet with one-third of the organizations and send an evaluation report to the Finance Committee. The Finance Com mittee would then have almost three weeks to deliberate on the .budgets before the final hearing. Student organizations would be invited to attend the meetings when their budgets were being discussed and be notified of any cuts in their funding. The final budget hearing would be held on the Saturday before the final week of classes. This change would eliminate any conflicts with classes for both the council members and members of the organizations. MedLMmu to mcoutsider Randy Harry Parts of the new budget process should solve the problems in scheduling and com munications. However, a new addition io the whole process could merely add more problems rather than reduce them. The establishment of an Appeals Committee to provide an avenue through which organi zations could complain about the proceed ings could easily bog down the process. Student Body President Bob Saunders said he was not sure if the committee would See FEE on page 2 WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan administration said today it would not commit itself to the terms of Jimmy Carter's agreement with Iran until it completes an "intense review" of the terms that freed the 52 American hostages. A State Department spokesman said the new administration "simply wants a chance to study these agreements before saying anything about them." The statement, by State Department spokesman William Dyess, came in response to reporters' questions. An official who requested anonymity said it was a carefully considered response. A White House official who insisted that his name not be used made a similar statement. Asked if certain provisions might be renounced, Dyess said, "The intention at this point is to study these aspects very closely." He said the review would take several days. White House press secretary James S. mmrdm mi, ?. m t U mm mm w Brady said President Ronald Reagan wanted to meet with members of the American delegation who completed the agreement with Iran. The delegation, led by Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher, returned to Washington early Wednesday afternoon. Until Reagan and the Carter officials meet, Brady said, the new administration could not issue a statement of support. "To review the papers with the normal function," Brady said. "The Reagan administration would not want to commit itself to following through without having a chance to go over the agreements and see just what it has to follow through on." Dyess said that historically, a new administration is bound by the agreements of its predecessors and that, "I have no reason to believe that the present administration will act any differently."

By TERESA CURRY Staff Writer The Student Union was overflowing with talent Monday afternoon as aspiring musicians, dancers and singers auditioned for jobs with Kings Productions of Cincinnati, Ohio. Most students were trying out for jobs at Carowinds in Charlotte. They had the option, however, of work ing for Kings Dominion in Richmond, Va.; Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio; or Hanna Barbera's Marineland in Los Angles, Ca., depending on available openings. , Jay Downie, director of operations for the company, explained why Kings Productions holds auditions at universities. "The best performers are those going through education in the institutions. They are the ones serious about performing. Also, their school schedules coincide with the parks'," Downie said. "Any area with good talent is worth returning to," DowrJe added. "Chapd H1H has been very good to us." Downie said Kings Productions conducted auditions in about 35 cities and expected about 5, (XX) people to try cut. About SDO ofihe 5,000 will actually be hired. Kings Productions entertainmentartistic director Danute MiskirJs judged the preliminary auditions. "Competition is much harder now than a few years tzo when I was a performer. From what I've seen so far the talent level is very hhh here today," she said. Mh.kir.is said talent was the top quality locked for in audit-oners.
