Since 1982, statewide enrollment in nursing education programs has dropped 21 percent, Becton said. This reflects a drop in the number of nurses in the N.C. workforce, he said.

Ben Under was shot point blank by the Nicaraguan contras on April 28 while building a hydroelectric plant near the village of El Cua. Two Nicaraguan engineers were also killed.

A contributing factor is the general need for nurses because of the growing elderly population and the AIDS epidemic, he said. Part of the school's recruiting program targets men and older students and presents them with an image of nursing as a profession with many career options, Becton said. "We are seeing what we think are hopeful signs from the standpoint of enrollment,'' he said. "There seem to be students transferring to our school from other schools in the state. And on Central America and the Carolina Committee on Central America, said the Central Intelligence Agency wrote and distributed a manual to the contras outlining more effective ways of killing. He also said Congress has given $100 million to the contras. "I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that these are hired guns (for the United States)," he said. Although the contras admitted to ambushing Ben Under and the two Nicaraguans, no one in the Reagan Administration has spoken out against the murders, Under said. "They haven't said anything about it because it was not an accident or an exception, but the essence of the contra way," he said. "They've tried "We need to really get on the ball," Clark said. "Hopefully, we can get the new task force together and meet within the next two weeks." ' The task force's main purpose will be deciding who should live in Old East and Old West, Clark said, as well as what kind of special programs, if any, should be planned for them. "Since the architectural firm has already come up with the renovation parts of the buildings, our main job will be to decide what will go on in them," Clark said. "Hopefully, we will all sexual aberrations, chastity nurses with bachelor's degrees are coming back and finishing." He said that because of the shor tage, job opportunities in nursing are increasing and there are more roles for nurses. "Labor statistics are projecting a 49 percent increase in the number of jobs for nurses, regardless of the shortage," Becton said. "It's making the shortage worse, but it's also being used as an attraction to the job." N.C.

The $2.7 million renovation esti mate includes exterior restoration, interior restoration in the north bay, renovation in other areas, window replacements and the addition of air conditioning.

Stokes said the hospital's recruiting program includes a national adver tising campaign and a strong follow up routine. "We don't have a nursing shortage, but we're not letting our guard down," he said. "We are opening new beds and we expect to be in need of nurses then, but now we have less than eight percent of our nursing spaces vacant." Joy Reed of the N.C.

During Friday's Board of Trustees meeting, Chancellor Christopher Fordham announced plans to retire on June 30, 1988.

Because the group missed the finance committee's deadline for budget requests last spring, it was left out of the annual budget process and forced to wait until fall to re-apply for funding. No funds have been allocated to the group yet, but BSM officers have submitted a budget request of $21,690. BSM President Kenneth Perry estimated the request process would take about three weeks. After the committee reviews the BSM's budget, its recommendations will be presented to the full congress for consideration. The next commit tee meeting is Wednesday, and the full congress meets the following week. "I have faith that Student Congress will make sure the BSM gets the money that it needs," Perry, who was not in office when the budget slip up occurred, said Monday. "We're trying to work together." Perry said the BSM's programs interview Monday he hopes to estab lish a search committee. "We're working very quickly," Eubanks said. "Well be making an announcement (of committee members) in the next few days." Spangler said Monday that Eubanks is required by the university code to appoint and lead a search committee that includes students, faculty, alumni and administrators. "They (committee members) will advertise broadly the opening that's available," Spangler said. He said the position probably would be listed in major national newspapers and education-oriented publications. From the committee's review, the names of at least two candidates will be submitted to Spangler. He will then interview the candidates and deliver his recommendation to the that we're going to look at," Kuncl said.

"As of right now, we're going to start feeling the pinch," he said. Student Body Treasurer Jody Beasley said the Student Activities Fund Office has no precise figure for the amount of money the congress has left to allocate. "Right now I don't have an exact amount, but I can give an approx imate figure of $25,000," he said Monday. Wilton Hyman, BSM vice presi dent, said the group's Central Com mittee is making tentative plans for major projects, despite the uncertain state of its finances. "We're trying to hold off on activating our big projects," Hyman said, "but we are making tentative plans." The BSM received $14,240 from the congress for the 1986-87 school year. And the budget mix-up could have a bright side, Hyman said. The delay in BSM funding is a See BSM page 3 UNC Board of Governors, which gives the final approval. "I think the board will be looking for first-class academicians," Spangler said. He said the search committee would have no deadline for submit ting its recommendations to him. "The importance of the position is such that time is not a factor," he said. Ralph Strayhorn, the former board of trustees chairman who oversaw the search that resulted in Fordham's appointment, said Monday that his 13-member committee received between 175 and 200 applications in 1979.

If approved by all three officials, the proposal will be presented at the Board of Trustees' Oct. 23 meeting. "I'm not sure yet if the task force is going to. be able to come up with one complete package yet or not," Kuncl said. "One possibility we have is to , come up with a series of proposals so that they have a choice."
