Cholera epidemic
kills 51 in Peru
LIMA, Peru, At least 5 1 people
have died from a cholera epidemic that
began in the coastal city of Chimbote
and has spread along the entire coast of
Peru, a Peruvian Health Ministry
spokesman said Sunday.
Dr. Pedro Guerrero said that health
officials had treated 5,200 cholera vic

been hospitalized.
Health officials warned the public to
boil drinking water for at least 10 min

to eradicate the disease within a few
months, but that much of the success
depended on public cooperation.

Patriotism
By LAURA WILLIAMS
Assistant University Editor
The UNC-system Board of Gover
nors voted Friday to stand behind its
present tuition policy when members
go before the N.C. General Assembly to
defend the board's funding requests in
the face of the state's budget crisis.
Gov. Jim Martin, in his State of the
State address Jan. 3 1 , proposed a change
in the tuition policy that would allow
the Board of Trustees for each of the 1 6
universities to set tuition rates at their
school. Martin said the tuition increase
could raise $28 million for the schools.
No institution would be required to
raise tuition, but the schools would have

SIGONELLA, Sicily Defense
Secretary Dick Cheney said Sunday
that allied bombardments had sharply
reduced the capability of the Iraqi
military, but officials acknowledged that
allied commanders have sought more
time to prepare for the "decisive" next
step in the Persian Gulf War.

of the extra tuition proceeds would be
set aside for student financial aid.
Martin said the measure would help
the schools contend with the state's
deepening budget shortfall.
The General Assembly and the BOG
now control tuition. The BOG in October
approved a 1991-1993 budget request
of more than $2.07 billion, including
$48 million to restore cuts made to the
UNC system's 1990 budget.
The board voted without objection
Friday to uphold its present policy of
keeping tuition as low as possible, re

"Some increase in tuition will be
