2The Daily Tar HeelThursday, January 1 6, 1 992 Cfr' I WORLD BREFS 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 Associated Press CSE fgD (3D (322 tD hm mt-.CTih mm 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.

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.

"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.
