2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, September 4, 1992 C HIV-infected Haitians enter U.S. borders U.N. search team deems Iraq nuclear-free BAGHDAD, Iraq The leader of the U.N. weapons-search team said Thursday that Iraq no longer had facili ties for making atomic bombs. Maurizio Zifferero, an Italian who works with the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters: "There is no longer any nuclear activity in Iraq ... They have no facilities where (they can) carry out this activity." At the end of the third day of inspec tions by the 2 1 -member team, Zifferero said the "work was good, cooperation was good." However, in a statement issued at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, the U.N. agency said Zifferero was not is suing "a clean bill of health for Iraq in the nuclear sphere." There has been considerable tension in recent months over the U.N. inspec tions that were mandated by the Persian Gulf War cease-fire, which calls for the elimination of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. A U.N. team in July was refused entry to a ministry building for three weeks. And the situation has become poten tially more sensitive since the United States declared an air exclusion zone in southern Iraq, where Shiite rebels have been holed up since their 1 99 1 rebellion against Saddam Hussein was crushed. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that during 14 inspections, U.N. teams have supervised destruc tion of all known nuclear equipment and buildings that survived bombing during the Persian Gulf War. "However, this does not exclude the possibility of further discoveries in the future," the agency said. "While no new knowledge has come to hand recently, it is still too early to conclude that such iiitog liltcl fit if ihi if uitr l v n K fit I; i 1hi at 4 K V 1 wm. c6 ft& Mf?

Hussein's government, meanwhile, renewed charges that Iran was plotting with the West to destabilize the south and pave the way for an autonomous Shiite Muslim canton that would owe allegiance to Tehran. Bush rejects proposal for presidential debates WASHINGTON President Bush's re-election campaign on Thursday re jected a bipartisan panel's recommen dation for three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate. The for mat already had been accepted by Demo crat Bill Clinton. "We're not sure that's the best way to serve the public. We really have not come to an absolute position on what we think is the best way to do it yet," said Robert Teeter, chairman of the Bush-Quayle re-election committee. "We will not accept the commission' s proposal as it's outlined now." Teeter said that he wasn't ruling out debates but that Bush wasn't ready to commit himself. The Commission on Presidential Debates, headed by former chairmen of both major parties, already had an nounced dates and sites for the three proposed presidential debates. The first was proposed for Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., on Sept. 22. The second was to be Oct. 4 in California at the University of San Diego and the third, Oct. 15 in Virginia at the University of Richmond. The commission had recommended a vice-presidential debate for Sept. 29 in Louisville, Ky. The Associated Press All J " i x n n tttn v& r. i" i r 1 ir Y S. II I 'I v v i 1 i 1 J Mondav m-fi i f?

The Haitians, who were held at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo, Cuba, were granted "humanitarian parole" for medical conditions not pertaining to HIV. "They were patrolled in for eye and respiratory problems that couldn't be treated at Guantanamo," said Duke Austin, spokesman for Immigration and Naturalization Service. According to a 1987 immigration rule that has been amended several times, people should be denied admission into the United States if they have a commu nicable disease of public health signifi cance, Austin said. "If (acquired immune deficiency syn drome) and HTV don't fit this category, then I don't know what does," Austin said. ANC refuses to renew The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG, South Africa The African National Congress refused Thursday to return to talks on ending white rule until violence was curbed and political prisoners freed, despite progress on other issues. The main black opposition group said the government had made important concessions on ANC demands for elec tion of a multiracial body to write a new constitution. It indicated contacts would continue with the government on re solving their differences. tiift ftift fHfcK frttcit ill itnic fHft itift iHft irtft frtft 4 AuYs if! ft iHft lift rnriMit Mil It i ft I i M ft I CO PLAYER ON EVERY STEREO SALE!... 1 EVERY SPEAKER ON EVERY BIG EVERY STEREO I I EVERY ft ?H it t i6 DURHAM 3111 Shannon Rd. (Not to South Squan Mill) 4904599 OR 9426546 One man was sent to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland for the treatment of an eye fungus about 1 0 days ago, and a mother and baby were taken Tuesday to a Norfolk, Va., children's hospital because the infant had pneumonia and needed a respirator. The three are ex pected to remain in the United States, where they have the right to legal coun sel in the quest for citizenship. The three Haitians' admittance is a breach of rules in a court decision that keeps nearly 300 Haitians who are in fected with the HTV virus in Cuba, Aus tin said. Some Haitians also are being detained if they have a family member on whom they depend that has tested HTV positive, he said. "Allowing the three in could be a precedent for admitting those remain ing at Guantanamo and could turn into a real health-care crisis in the United States," said Dave Ray of the Federa tion for American Immigration Reform. The estimated cost to take care of AIDS victims from diagnosis to death is $100,000, Ray said, "we have enough Americans to keep our hands full," he said. "It isn't an issue of immigration, but one of dollars and cents. "Without meaningful steps on the part of the government to deal with the violence and by way of releasing politi cal prisoners, it would be pointless to resume negotiations," the ANC said. Despite the refusal to return to talks, the statement was less critical than other recent policy statements, indicating the two sides were closer than before. Money John Moody, student body president, said the magazine's best buys edition would highlight UNC's good points and attract more students to the school. "I think it's a pretty positive state ment," he said. "There are a lot of good schools out there. Carolina has a great reputation out of state already, but I would think the cost would certainly be attractive." But Carrie Treadwell, a junior from Westport, N. Y., said the ranking would not affect students' college choices. "I think the people who would be reading Money Magazine wouldn't care about the price tag." Donald Boulton, UNC vice chancel lor for student affairs, said that despite UNC's $752.20 increase in out-of-state tuition this year, up from $7,116 last year, he had expected it to be ranked among the best buys. "Everybody's tuition will have to go up, but our increases are more gradual," he said. "People in this state have de cided the tuition shall be as low as possible. This shows that the people of this state value education enough to support it. I expect we will continue to be among the best buys." TH EY RE COMI THE WOODS FOR OUP: 'MMEIR WED.

"They can only make $300 in Haiti, so how can they be expected to make more in a country where most can't even speak the language? "They will never replenish the tax dollars that health care for AIDS will require." The National Commission on ADDS has studied the issue of immigrating people infected with HTV, said Tom Brandt, a member of the commission. "I'm tired of hearing the economic argument because it isn't valid," Brandt said. "We don't use the economic argu ment when allowing those infected with (tuberculosis) and cancer into the United States, and their treatments are just as costly as AIDS." Those infected with the HTV virus are discriminated against when they are not allowed entrance into the United States, Brandt said. "This shouldn't be factor for not let ting them in," he said. "We should look at the fact that HIV isn't a highly infec tious or easily transmissible disease." The commission is in support of al policy talks President F.W. de Klerk said the gov ernment would continue contacts with the ANC until all obstacles to negotia tions had been resolved. The EC will send investigators to help a commission probing the vio lence, Hurd said after two days of talks with white and black leaders aimed at finding solutions to the impasse. from page 1 While Duke University did not place among the top 1 00 spots for college best buys, N.C. State ranked 70th, Davidson ranked 72nd and Wake Forest Univer sity was dubbed the nation's 73rd-best buy. "I think it's a pretty comprehensive study that looks at the value of educa tion the institution offers and not just the price," Hellman said. "College is an expensive proposition, and people need more and more help in deciphering the code words." Rice University in Houston, with a tuition of $8,800 and a strong emphasis on undergraduate education, ranked first in the study for the second straight year. "Rice University is always up there because it is heavily endowed with oil money, and everybody who gets in the school gets a scholarship," Boulton said. Hellman said the median age of Money Magazine subscribers was 44, and the average household income was $71,760. The annual edition targets both par ents and students by including the best buy rankings and articles on financial aid, parent-student relationships and financial considerations.

More than 37,000 Haitians were in tercepted at sea by the Coast Guard as they fled Haiti after the September 1991 coup that overthrew the government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Almost 20,000 of these people con vinced immigration officials who inter viewed them aboard ship that they could face persecution if they returned to Haiti. More than 300 of the refugees not re turned to Haiti are quarantined at Guantanamo because of HIV. On May 24, President Bush directed that all Haitians picked up at sea be sent back to their homeland. Ten percent of the Haitian popula tion is reported to have AIDS, said Ray, who recently visited Haiti. "AIDS is at a crisis level in Haiti, mainly because there is a low education level and a subservient female gender," he said. AIDS continues to increase in Haiti according to the most recent World Health Organization statistics. "People who don't have enough money to buy food aren't going to go out and buy condoms," Ray said.

Union from page 1 patrol the parking lot, that students and guests show I.D. and that students reg ister their guests. Students and their guests must passlhrough a metal detec tor before entering the dance hall. Blood said so far the policy has greatly reduced violence at late-night union parties. "It has made a dramatic differ ence," she said. N.C. State Lee McDonald, N.C. State Univer sity union director, said parties at the University Student Center were limited to college students because of problems in the past. "We implemented this policy because of past events we have had here. We've had some late-night parties which re quired use of public policy officers," McDonald said. "We feel like college students are more receptive to the kinds of events we have here." McDonald said metal detectors at the door were implemented into the policy last year. The student center also pro vides an off-duty Raleigh policeman to direct a staff of campus police who are required to be present at the event. "Public safety people have police jurisdiction on campus," he said. "Some of (the people who attend the parties) are uncomfortable with that." Wayne State University Michael Bowen, union director at Wayne State University in Michigan, also said violence at late-night union parties prompted officials to implement a stricter policy for use of the hall. "It was a combination of factors," he said. "It was escalating into fist fights more than anything at our dances." The Wayne State union party policy requires that all people who attend the dance be either students or the guests of students. All guests must be presently enrolled in a college or university and must show a picture I.D. at the door. Police officers are stationed at the door, but they don't patrol the hall be cause the officers have the effect of agitating problems, Bowen said. "The police officers are not continu ally present at the dance floor," he said. "They are present outside the building." Bowen said a students from the group sponsoring the dance served as safety enforcement inside the hall. Officials have had to close only one dance since the policy was implemented in 1988, Bowen said, "Instead of being able to quell the incident (the student officers) got caught up in the melee." Winston-Salem State University Thomas Leach, Winston-Salem State University union director, said union dances were limited to WSSU students except for special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, where off-campus guests are allowed. Leach said six to eight police officers were hired for each event, and students were required to pass through a metal detector at the door.
