Israeli government
faces possible collapse
JERUSALEM A far-right politi
cal party announced Wednesday it was
pulling out of Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir's ruling coalition to protest the
Mid East peace talks, bringing the gov
ernment close to collapse.
The leader of a second small far-right
party said he would recommend that his
party also walk out Thursday. If both
parties quit, Shamir's coalition would
lose its majority in Parliament, and early
elections would be likely.
The fall of the government could
bring an end to the peace talks which
have brought Israeli and Palestinian
negotiators face to face for the first
time. A caretaker government could
keep the talks going, but would have no
real mandate to make decisions.
The announcements came after party
leaders met with Shamir, who report
edly warned their withdrawal would
reduce Israel's chances of getting $10
billion in U.S. loan guarantees.
Tehiya, with three seats in the 120
member Parliament, said it was leaving
Shamir's coalition because of the
government's expected offer of limited
Palestinian autonomy at the talks.

The planes, which carry sophisticated
photographic and electronic reconnais
sance gear, routinely monitor troop
movements north of the demilitarized
zone between North Korea and South
Korea. The missing plane was on such
a mission, officials said.
The plane dropped out of radio and
radar contact with U.S. military track
ers over the Sea of Japan at 5:30 EST.
The Air Force planned to dispatch
search planes at daybreak. The U-2 had
taken off from and was scheduled to
return to Osan Air Base south of Seoul.
The fixed-wing aircraft carries a one
man crew and the Air Force lists its
altitude capability as "above 70,000
feet."
290 political prisoners
released by Cambodia
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia The
Vietnamese-installed government of
Cambodia opened a notorious political
detention centerto international observ
ers Wednesday and freed 290 detainees
who had endured years of brutal treat
ment. Immediate, complete and supervised
releases were mandated in the peace
accord the Cambodian government
signed in October to end the nation's
1 3-year-long civil war.
But Phnom Penh had been slow to
carry out the pledge until recent interna
tional pressure.
During the ceremony inside the T-3
prison, national reconciliation leader
Prince Norodom Sihanouk told the pris
oners Cambodia was entering a new era
of democracy.

Town of Carrboro faces budget shortfall
By Tiffany Ashhurst
Staff Writer
An anticipated revenue shortage of
$ 1 50,000 was discussed at the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen's annual planning
retreat held earlier this week.
Because the state decided to cut the
town's funding this year, Carrboro offi
cials are struggling to find ways tocom
pensate for the loss.
Larry Gibson, the board's staff fi
nance officer, said he had not expected
such a large reduction in funding.
"No one in Orange County antici
pated suffering to this extent," he said.
He said he didn't know how or which
sections of the Carrboro budget would
be affected by the funding.
"Because of this problem, it is diffi
cult to say where we might have to cut,"
Gibson said.
Carrboro Mayor Eleanor Kinnaird
said she thought the budget was the
most important topic discussed at the
retreat.
Fees
BOG member Robert Jones said he
also had no concerns about the General
Assembly relieving the BOT of any fee
setting responsibility.
"I don't understand Mr. Strickland's
concern," Jones said. "We overview the
fees from all 16 universities."
Sen. William Martin, D-Guilford,
said the General Assembly was prima
rily concerned with maintaining the low
costs of tuition and fees, especially for
state residents, because the cost of an
N.C. education has been exceptionally
low in the past.
"In the (N.C.) Constitution there is a

"Since we are being cut out by the
state and federal government we are
from page 1
policy that, in reference to North
Carolina's residents, provides theiredu
cation be provided at what amounts to
the lowest reasonable cost," Mart in said.
The legislature especially is con
cerned about keeping costs to students
low compared to the costs of other state
supported schools, he said.
"We are faced with a situation where
a number of students from out of state
are coining to North Carolina to be able
to attend a state school in North Caro
lina," he said.
It was important to maintain reason
able student fees to compete with other
states and other state university sys
tems, Martin said.
"There have been some instances
where the fees are quite high. In some
instances possibly almost as high as the
tuition when you add it all up," he said.
The UNC-system campuses now are
able to set fees and to spend the money
they collect from them. This is not the
case in many University budget areas.
UNC-CH's student fees rank as the
second-lowest of the 16 UNC schools.
The UNC-CH trustees will discuss
the issue at their January meeting and
make a recommendation to the BOG by
February.

struggling to break even," Kinnaird sa id.
"The state demands more efforts of
clean water, clean air, recycling and the
town has to meet these standards with
no money."
The state budget crunch also has af
fected the salaries and benefits of
Carrboro town employees, she said.
"Employees haven 't gotten adequate
pay raises or benefit packages in a long
time, and it seriously disturbs me, be
cause they should be compensated ad
equately for the work they do," Kinnaird
said.
Kinnaird said the board is consider
ing acompensatory-time policy because
employees' late night meetings last too
long and they should be given more
time off during the day.
Alderman Francis Shetley said that
pay raises for town employees should
be considered, but that town services to
residents were more important.
"Providing essential services to the
people should come first," she said.
