High oil prices cause
retail costs to rise
WASHINGTON Skyrocketing oil
costs pushed retail prices up a sharp 0.8
percent last month as the Persian Gulf
crisis began hitting Americans' wallets,
the government said Tuesday.
The seasonally adjusted increase in
the Labor Department's Consumer Price
Index doubled the 0.4 percent rise in
July.
In a separate report signaling slack
ening economic growth, the Commerce
Department reported the sharpest in
crease in the trade deficit since August
1 982. Americans imported $9.33 billion
more than they exported in July, up 75
percent from June.
Iraqis try to lower
Kuwaiti resistance
KHAFJI, Saudi Arabia Iraq's er
ratic opening of the border with Saudi
Arabia appeared to be part of a harsh
campaign to break the Kuwaiti people's
will to resist, Kuwaiti officials, diplo
mats and refugees said Tuesday.
Over the past week Iraqi authorities
have introduced a series of measures
that have put the population on edge,
they said. They range from the tri v ial
like making men shave to blowing
up houses of suspected resistance
members.
"They are trying to break our morale,
to make us weak," said Faisal, a 27-year-old
computer programmer who fled
Kuwait Tuesday.
"They want us just to give up."
Some hostages may
be released soon
NICOSIA, Cyprus Syrian Presi
dent Hafez Assad's visit to Tehran next
week comes amid signals that some of
the Western hostages held by pro-Iranian
Shiite Moslem militants in Lebanon
could be released soon.
Diplomats in Damascus, the Syrian
capital, said Tuesday the plight of the
hostages is one of the main topics Assad
will discuss with President Hashemi
Rafsanjani and other Iranian leaders.
In Islamabad, capital of Pakistan,
Iranian Ambassador Javad Mansoori
said at a news conference Tuesday that
an unspecified number of the 1 3 West
erners held in Lebanon might be freed
"perhaps in the next few days." Pakistan,
a Moslem state like Iran, has been used
as an intermediary with Iran by the
United States.
Atlanta to host 1996
Summer Olympics
ATLANTA Rockets flared even
though it was daylight and pandemo
nium broke out in celebration Tuesday
when the city was named as the site of
the 1996 Summer Olympics.
An estimated 5,000 people skipped
work Tuesday morning and packed the
plaza at Underground Atlanta, in the
heart of the city, to watch the 1996
Summer Olympics site announcement
on closed-circuit TV from Tokyo.

President Juan Antonio Samaranch said
the games were going to "At...." The
throng gasped as one.
"At" as in Athens, or "At" as in

teams was a winner at last.

Employees covered by the State
Personnel Act (SPA) addressed a revised
University grievance procedure and the
possibility of staff layoffsTuesday night.
Members voted at the State Em
ployees Association (SEA) district
meeting to appeal to the administration
about the revisions the University has
proposed in the employee grievance
process.

Oliver sity can't
rely on donations
to counteract cuts
By ELIZABETH BYRD
Senior Writer
Private donations to the University
will not quell the draining effect of state
budget cuts on its finances, adminis
trators said.
Donations from University-interest
groups such as the Educational Foun
dation, also known as the Rams Club,
traditionally supply little or no money
for academic purposes, and money
raised by the University's Development
Office for academic purposes cannot
fund some of UNC's basic needs.
Moyer Smith, president of the Edu
cational Foundation, said the club's chief
responsibility was to athletics and almost
none of its funds can be used to achieve
the University's other financial goals.
"That's not something we were set
up to do," Smith said. "There are some

Stevens condemns Greek hazin
Forum offers positive
alternatives to initiation
By BETH MAJOR
Staff Writer
Eileen Stevens, whose son was
killed in a fraternity hazing incident,
told members of UNC's Greek systems
Tuesday night that they need to be
aware of the dangers of hazing.
"Hazing is a dangerous tradition,"
Stevens said at a hazing awareness
forum. "No one ever thinks a tragedy
will happen on their campus, but the
potential is always there."
Stevens' son, Chuck, died of alco
hol poisoning and exposure when
members of the fraternity he was
pledg ing locked him in a car trunk and
forced him to drink a large amount of
alcohol. He was a sophomore at Alfred
University in upstate New York.
After her son's death, Stevens
formed the Committee to Halt Useless
College Killing (CHUCK) to educate
college students about hazing.
Stevens also lobbied for a law that
makes hazing illegal in New York.
The law passed unanimously in the
N.Y legislature, despite opposition
from the N.Y. governor.
Stevens said she is anti-hazing but
not anti-Greek. .
"Greek life is about leadership,
cooperation, and all the wonderful
things that can be accomplished," she
said. "Hazing defeats the spirit of
friendship, sisterhood, and brother
hood." The Panhellenic Council sponsored
the forum to make members of the
Greek system aware of the dangers
and repercussions of hazing and to
suggest alternative methods to chal
lenge and bond pledges.
Panel member Carol Badgett, staff
attorney for Student Legal Services,
said hazing is a misdemeanor in North
Carolina and is punishable by a fine of

of the grievance procedure from the
State Personnel Commission and to form
a new committee to draft another pro
cedure. The revised procedure is
scheduled to be reviewed by the com
mission Oct. 4.
The revised grievance excludes
problems between employees of equal
rank. The policy states its function is the
resolution of problems "between a staff
employee and an individual in a position
of authority."
"It narrows down broadly the things
we can talk about," Peter Schledorn,
limited funds slated for non-athletic
purposes, probably less than 1 percent,"
he said. The foundation donated funds
to the campus libraries earlier this year.
The Rams Club serves an important
purpose in providing money for athletic
scholarships and facilities because the
athletic department receives no state
funds, Smith said.
Funding other areas of the University
is not the duty of the Rams Club, he
said. "We are in the business of raising
funds to provide athletic scholarships
and to provide some approved necessary
and desired capital athletic facilities.
We are here to contribute to the Uni
versity and not to run it, to contribute to
the athletic department and not to run
it.

Native American faculty called inadequate
Carolina Indian Circle (CIC), said he
was disappointed that the Native
American professors were only tempo
rary. "The students who come after
won't be able to benefit from the Native
American perspective," he said.
More active recruiting needs to be
done, Woods said. "I don't think the
Affirmative Action Office is putting
sufficient effort forth to identify Native
Americans."

graduate student from Pembroke, said
that the University had taken a step in

library technical assistant, said. "It limits
disputes between two staff employees
when one is not in a position of au
thority." The new guidelines also prohibit
employees who file grievances to in
clude their attorneys in any part of the
procedure.
The procedure violates employees'
basic rights to legal representation by
prohibiting them from having an attor
ney present at any step of the formal
process, members said.
"Right now you have the right to

to be done. "If we took all the white
professors on campus and made them
visiting, what would happen?" he said.
North Carolina has the largest
population of Native Americans east of
the Mississippi River, and the Univer
sity should have permanent Native
American faculty members, Maynor
said.
Chris Raines, CIC president, said he
was working on a plan to make sure the
University recruits more Native
American faculty. "We want to make

Schledorn said. "That's your right. It's
your right as an American citizen. You
won't have that right under this
(policy)."
Schledorn said an employee's
grievance could be filed against or heard
by a person with a law degree, such as
law school professors, Chancellor Paul
Hardin or Susan Ehringhaus, assistant
to the chancellor.
Another problem employees cited in
the new grievance process is that no
student, breathes

University is not satisfied with this."
Woods said there was an informal
network at Arizona State University
encouraging Native Americans to apply
for positions at the University. "One
person has already shown interest in the
University," he said.
Dana Lumsden, student government
executive director of minority affairs,
said he believed more effort needed to
come from the individual departments.

Council approves
mandatory security
at fraternity parties
By APRIL DRAUGHN
Staff Writer
If you're under 21, the days of in
dulging in keg parties and tequila shots
at fraternities are over.
Inter-Fraternity Council members
said Tuesday afternoon that 1 8 of the
University's 23 fraternities voted to
adopt a policy that would require all
fraternities to hire security guards to
card students at parties in the houses.
Five fraternities were not present at
the meeting.
Rick Hopkins, president of Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity, said the policy
did not extend to outdoor band parties
held as charity functions, such as the
annual Burnout.
Robb Beatty, IFC president, said
security guards would be at the frater
nity functions to make sure that the
drinking laws were enforced and that
uninvited guests would not be allowed
at the functions. A security guard can
ask uninvited guests to leave and if the
person refuses, the security guard can
call the police and have that person
arrested.
Brennon Martin, IFC vice president,
said fraternities were trying to curtail
underage drinking because members
were concerned about liability problems.
"We knew that changes had to be
made," he said. "I think it's a step in the
right direction. It's not going to totally
end the problem."
Security guards would inform stu
dents under 21 of their responsibilities
for the state drinking laws. Some fra
ternities will post drinking law notices
in their houses similar to the ones posted
in bars and restaurants, Martin said.
Beatty said the policy was made for

business and finance, and UNC-system

it is not enough," he said. "The chair
persons of each department need to
make an effort."
The University should have a Diver
sity Day in the spring to keep the shortage
of Native American faculty a big issue
on campus, Lumsden said.

University affairs, said he helped iden

safety reasons.
"We're trying to protect everyone
involved safety-wise," he said. "It's too
expensive liability-wise to allow
uninvited guests in our house."
Martin said insurance costs for fra
ternities in the future would probably
drop because of the policy. The policy, ,
however, does not eliminate fraternities'
liability risks, but only reduces them.
Carding students at the door of fra
ternity functions places the responsi
bility with the drinker, Martin said. "The
best thing we can do is to tell people
what their responsibility is."
. Beatty said if a fraternity fails to
adhere to the policy, mixers with so
rorities will probably be canceled and
the IFC will investigate why the fra:
ternity did not hire security guards.
Kari Howe, president of the
Panhellenic Council, said sororities were
not supposed to hold functions with
fraternities that don't use security
guards.
"It's one (policy) that national so
rorities would like to see put into effect,"
she said. "It's in everyone's best inter
ests, so I don't foresee any problems
with it at all."
Brock Winslow, president of Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity, said the policy
was necessary.
"I think it's wonderful " Winslow
said. "It's something we've been doing
here for a while. I'm glad it's become a
standardized policy."
Glenn Cole, president of Sigma Phi
Epsilon fraternity, said the policy was
inevitable. "We realize it's something
that's going to have to happen. We're
