2The Daily Tar HeelThursday, March 7, 1991 Students find campus jobs scarce as state budget crunch continue ililllf lllii,: ' " mil - , y k" C By Scott Maxwell Staff Writer DTHDebbie Stengel Sophomore Lynne Youmans has worked at Davis Library for 1 12 years As budget cuts continue to affect the University, class sections aren't the only things being slashed. Since the reduc tions began, student employment op portunities oncampus have been steadily diminishing. Nicole Huntley is a desk assistant at the UNC Student Part-Time Employ ment Service. "We haven't had as many listings (job openings) since the budget cuts began," Huntley said. "And the ones we did have were filled quickly." Huntley said that while the part-time employment service did have some listings, the eight or nine openings they had were less than half the number of opportunities they usually had. Larry Alford, assistant university li brarian, said the library had been most affected by the inability to hire the usual number of graduate students. "We normally hire 20-30 graduate assistants, but this year, we haven't been able to Parking hire any," Alford said. Alford said the library relied on the Student Employees Education Foun dation to pay for the hiring of jobs like the desk assistants. Alford also said that another problem was that although funding to pay for hiring students hasn't been cut, when the minimum wage increase takes effect on April 1 , the library would not be able to hire as many students as in the past. "We can't offer very competitive wages," Alford said. Linwood Futrelle, the operations manager for Information Resource Management, is in charge of employ-' ment for the computer labs on campus. "Usually, I have jobs available for 15-20 people," Futrelle commented. "I'll be lucky if I have a few." Futrelle said there are usually about 100 people on the microcomputer support staff. Now, he said, there were only about 75. Futrelle said keeping the labs open when the students needed them was difficult. "I can't keep anything open from page 1 over spring break," Futrelle said. The lab's hours will be greatly af fected during the summer sessions, Futrelle said. Futrelle expressed frustration with the lack of funding. "We have many new machines," Futrelle said, "but what good is millions of dollars of computers if the students can't get to them? The shortened hours have led to some students taking the situation under their own control, Futrelle said. Nancy Sonnenfeld is a second-year student in the school of public health who has organized a group to keep the computer lab at the public health school open longer. Sonnenfeld said that she had worked with the Student Union Board to orga nize the committee of volunteers who stayed in the lab. "Right now," Sonnenfeld said, "we have enough volunteers so that each person only has to do it about twice a month." Sonnenfeld said the committee had been able to voluntarily staff the lab to keep it open as much as seven hours a night longer on the weekends than trie University could afford to do. s Although the University-supportetJ opportunities for employment have di minished, there are at least two other places on campus that have not had to reduce student employment because of budget cuts. I Chris Derby is senior director of Carolina Dining Services, which oper ates all oa-campus dining facilities. ' Derby said that they had openings for interested students. "We consider our selves to be extremely flexible and un derstanding," Derby said. ' Derby also said that as an incentive all employees earned an extra $ 1 .25 an hour on their meal cards in addition to their hourly wages. The UNC Student Stores has some openings as well. "Student stores are funded by their own revenues," director John Jones said. Jones said that they have had a pretty full staff, but that if students were inter ested, there were sales clerk and a few accounting and delivery positions available. In the letter, the co-chairmen "for mally request that (UNC's) planners evaluate the merits of this alternate plan, and that (the University) refrain from any construction on this site until the future of both Odum Village and Man ning Drive can be determined." The University would consider the alternative road,' and possibly the resi dents' scaled-down parking deck, Tuchi said. "(The alternative road is) worth tak ing a look at," he said. "It's something we've known about for a long time now." The plans for the new parking deck are not definite and could be altered, Tuchi said. "It hasn't been designed yet," he said. "We know what we need because of the xLV JUtifton jiupEr irogstnmgkr 5 ; Entire Stock Cavelli and Ferrini European Suits, Single and Double Breasted.

John DeVitto, director of transpor tation and parking services, said the construction of the parking deck was vital to the plans regarding the Manning Drive area. "The University's goal here is to park the patients and the visitors that come," he said. "We're trying to gen erate parking spaces. Within the hospital alone, the (planned) neuro-psychiatric hospital and children's hospital are going to generate more patients." The size of the proposed parking deck has not been established yet, DeVitto said.

The letter states that the "promotion of remote parking for hospital employ ees may also provide the necessary parking for visitors and patients." DeVitto said the shuttle buses used for hospital employees who park in remote lots were heavily used. The University has strongly encouraged the use of the shuttles, he said. Pentagon ceases daily war briefings The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Pentagon has stopped its daily briefings for re porters on Operation Desert Storm, and U.S. Central Command officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, have switched from daily to weekly briefings, officials said. The Pentagon briefings, featuring Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and carried live by some tele vision networks throughout the Persian Gulf War, had been conducted nearly every day since the war started Jan. 17. ' The last Pentagon war briefing was Tuesday. None was being held Wednesday, although a briefing was planned in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Wednesday evening. Pete Williams, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said that beginning today he would go back to his regular year-round schedule of briefing reporters on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
