It's almost time the big day for
seniors is May 12.
Seniors who have questions about
next month's graduation exercises can
attend Commencement Information
Day 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in
Great Hall of the Student Union.
Kristi Lee, chairwoman of Com
mencement Information Day, said the
day is part of Senior Week, which starts
April 6 and ends April 13.
Ben Howell, co-chairman of the
Commencement Committee, said the
Commencement Information Day
would offer something for all seniors.
Lee said, "It's nice to have one place
where seniors can come and have all
their questions answered."
Sixteen University organizations will
have tables in the Great Hall Tuesday.
These include:
The Athletic Ticket Office and the
Rams Club booster organization, which
will provide information about next
year's sports events and membership in
the Rams Club, officially known as the
Educational Foundation.
Handicapped Student Services, for
handicapped Commencement guests.
B Scholarship and Student Aid Of
fice, which will provide information
about loan repayments.
Q Student Stores, which will provide
information about getting caps and
gowns and ordering graduation invita
tions. H University Career Planning and
Placement Services, which will explain
how its services extend beyond gradu
ation. University Cashier's office, to
make sure students understand how to
clear University accounts.
University Registrar's office,
which will tell students where to pick up
diplomas or how to get them mailed.
Jan Keel of the registrar's office said,
there were 4,455 candidates for gradu
ation, about the same as last year's
number.
The fact that a senior is a candidate
for graduation does not mean he or she
will graduate, Keel said.
Jennie Starling, a member of the
Senior Week Committee, said the week
involved at least one main event each
night, starting with the Raleigh-Durham
Skyhawks game April 6 and ending
with the Carolina 500 Bedrace April 1 3.
Each day's events will be listed in the
Campus Calendar in The Daily Tar Heel,
Starling said.
The events will include a comedy
night at the Union Cabaret April 9, a
student-faculty basketball game April
10 and a trip to the Durham Bulls'
second home game of the season April
12.
Shannon Hale, a senior from Eden,
said she heard about Senior Week
through a mailed information packet
that listed the week's events. She said
she considered going to Commence
ment Information Day.
"If other friends of mine could go and
I didn't have to work, I'd probably go,"
Hale said.
Teresa Abshear, a senior from Mt.
Airy, said she heard about Senior Week
through the senior newsletter.
She also planned to go to Com
mencement Information Day because
of all the representatives that would be
there.
"I'm a physical therapy major, and
we're kind of isolated," Abshear said.
"Any time information is handed out,
we try to go. It's a central place we can
get information."
Government investigates Harvard Medical School
The Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Federal
officials began an investigation
Wednesday into research expenses at
Harvard Medical School as part of a
wider probe that uncovered abuses of
taxpayer money at Stanford University.
General Accounting Office repre
sentatives met with Harvard officials to
outline how the investigation will pro
ceed, said Jan Goldstein, a regional
manager for the GAO in Boston.
Goldstein said the medical school
attracted attention because it was
charging the government a high rate for
overhead expenses, the indirect costs of
research.
"Do they just have higher rates be
cause this is Boston and costs are higher
here, or are they mischarging some
thing?" he asked.
Stanford's overhead charge rose from
58 percent of the value of the research
contract to 74 percent during the 1980s
but dropped to 70 percent after the in
quiry began last year.
Harvard Medical School's overhead
charge is 88 percent.
The investigation comes as part of a
wider examination of how much uni
versities charge the federal government
for overhead when they receive big
grants, and how those funds are used.
The Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology and the University of California,
Berkeley, also face audits.
In congressional testimony last
month, the GAO said Stanford billed
the federal government for some
maintenance expenses for a yacht and a
shopping center owned by the univer
sity, listing the items as indirect costs.
Taxpayers also paid $63,931 to
maintain the off-campus home of a
Stanford chancellor who had died, and
$17,500 for a reception at the home of
Stanford President Donald Kennedy,
the GAO said.
Kennedy has denied any deliberate
overcharges and attributed some to
miscoding during accounting work.
"The question is whether Stanford's
practices are typical, and the only way
to find that out is to look at other uni
versities," said Dennis Fitzgibbons,
spokesman for Rep. John Dingell, D
Mich., who has led the investigation.
When a university researcher con
tracts with a government agency to carry
out certain experiments, the university
typically gets money for expenses such
as research materials, salaries and
equipment.
But universities also assign part of
their general overhead costs heating
and building maintenance, for example
to those research contracts, usually
as a percentage added to the value of the
contract.
The Harvard investigation probably
will begin in several weeks and last
three to four months, Goldstein said.
Harvard officials said they would
cooperate fully with the investigation.

Corrections
The Daily Tar Heel was given in-j

not approved giving any money to thd
event.
The March 27 article "Athletic de

$15 million in men's basketball rev
enue. The department actually raised
$5 million.
The DTH regrets the errors.
