The Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations, Abdul Amir Al-Anbari, would not rule out scheduling the meeting for that date. But he predicted that if war does come, the United States could suffer as many casualties in a single day as it bore during the entire Vietnam War.

KGB discovers plots to embezzle food MOSCOW The KGB said Sun day it had uncovered plots to divert food from empty stores and hungry Soviet people and said it was filing criminal charges against those responsioie. Soviet media, meanwhile, said do nated foreign food was waiting in cargo ships on the east and west coasts because of port congestion, and was piled up at Moscow railway stations due to a shortage of trucks and drivers. The KGB created a special unit last month to control distribution of do hated food supplies and prevent their thft after the eovernment put it in charge of the "battle against economic sabotage." The official Tass news agency re ported Sunday that the KGB had "ex posed and stopped the actions of some officials aimed at obtaining personal advantages at the expense of state in terests during the storage, transportation and selling to the population of food stuffs and consumer goods." From Associated press reports 11 By TIM BURROWS Staff Writer The Inter-Fraternity Council has decided to draft stricter alcohol and risk-management policies for all fra ternities, a move welcomed by Uni versity administrators Tim Taylor, IFC president, said the new policy was expected to strengthen many unenforced provisions in the current policies, specifically those prohibiting open containers of alcohol, serving alcohol to underage guests and holding open parties. DFC discussed plans to draft the new risk-management policy at a meeting Dec. 6. The new policy will be drafted Jan. 10, and IFC members will vote on the policy Jan. 23, Taylor said. Although Taylor said the IFC re ceived no suggestions from the admin istration, Chancellor Paul Hardin said Sunday that he was pressing for the elimination of open parties and bulk alcohol. The present risk-management poli cies are agreed upon by each fraternity . and its insurance company. The proposed policy would apply to all fraternities that are members of the IFC, said Lee Hark, IFC vice president. Hark said the changes in the enforce ment policy were prompted by concern for liability on the part of the fraternities and the administration. Many provisions of the risk-management policies have been circum vented for years, he said. "All of a sudden he (Hardin) seems to be serious about enforcing these rules," Hark said. "Which is as it should be." Hardin said he was encouraging the changes because of his concern for the health and lives of students. "We've had some very close shaves related to excesses." Taylor and Hark said enforcement procedures would be worked out at the Jan. 10 meeting. "We're not sure how we're going to strengthen them, and we're not sure how we're going to enforce them," said TedTownsend, IFC representative from Delta Epsilon. Hardin said UNC did have some en forcement powers, but that actions such as purchasing the fraternity houses or refusing University recognition of the fraternities would only be a last resort." Taylor said he was unsure of the general opinion of the fraternities about; the changes because the Dec. 6 meeting; had been poorly attended. Hark said he anticipated some resis tance, but said the new policy would benefit the fraternity system, which he; described as "a dinosaur." Hardin said he was certain that ev eryone agreed with banning open par-; ties and bulk alcohol. i I Colsbrdto!

Ron Zuniga, associate director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, and Asa Boynton, chief of police at the University of Georgia at Athens, were hired in November 1989 to investigate employee relations in the UNC police department. In January they submitted a report with 40 recommendations of ways to improve the department.

By NATALIE A. GODWIN Staff Writer F.fforts to hire African-American faculty members are sometimes handi capped by the small pool of applicants, said Rosalind Fuse-Hall, associate dean of student affairs. Out of 6,562 graduate students at the University this year, records show that only 316 are African-Americans. The University could increase the number of minority faculty if it hired more of its own minority graduate stu dents after they received their Ph.D.s, Fuse-Hall said. Faculty Chairman Harry Gooder said the number of male and female students of all races receiving Ph.D.s had de creased, but the sharpest drop was among African-Americans. "Colleges are finding it difficult to recruit minority faculty because there are fewer applicants to be considered," he said. A 1987 National Research Council study found that the number of doctor ate degrees awarded to African Americans decreased during the past 10 years in fields such as humanities, lit erature, the sciences and history. However, it also showed an increase in the number of African-Americans re ceiving Ph.D.s in psychology, business administration and economics. Since 1980, black enrollment in graduate and professional schools has declined 20 percent, according to reports from the National Advisory Council on Black Education. Federal law requires the University to include representative numbers of African-Americans and women in candidate pools for available jobs. At UNC, faculty members are hired by departmental search committees. Darnell Hawkins, a former associate professor of sociology at UNC, said the University did not seem to recruit African-American faculty as well as it did during the mid-70s. Some universities across the nation have been more suc cessful in recruiting African-American faculty, he said.
