the impact of this year.”
Ninety-one percent of the increase in tuition
during the 1990s went toward salaries, wages,
benefits and utilities.
“The bottom line is that the money that is paid
to us by the state and also by you in tuition and fees
doesn’t get gobbled up by bureaucracy,” Gates said.
Mark McCraig, communications director for
the Young Conservatives of Texas, said he and fel
low YTC members have concerns about the
University’s allocation of funds.
“Young Conservatives of Texas believes that
with the tuition increase and the student services
decrease that current diversity initiatives need to
be reconsidered,” McCraig said. “We need to put

Along North Carolina’s hard-
hit Outer Banks, residents walked
the trash-strewn beaches and ate
breakfast in the few restaurants
that were serving. Road crews had
plowed the sand from major
beach roads into 6- to 8-foot-high
berms along the shoulders.
Farther south along the Outer
Banks, relief workers in boats
brought food and supplies to
residents of Hatteras Village,
which was cut off from the rest
of Hatteras Island when Isabel
carved a new channel across the
narrow ribbon of land.
“Thank goodness for the
Salvation Army,” Janet Aiken
said. “They’re serving up three
hot squares a day to anyone who
needs it. And the National Guard
brought in a lot of water for us and
set up the generators, so we’ve got
electricity in some parts and
enough drinking water.”
The Monday morning com
mute was especially difficult in
southeastern Virginia.
Police directed traffic at major
intersections, but motorists were
left to fend for themselves along
many side streets. To make sure
traffic moved as smoothly as pos
sible, officials urged drivers to
treat each intersection as a four
way stop. No major delays were
reported Monday morning
around the Washington area,
despite nearly 200 signal outages.

Sean Kirley of the U.S. 2nd
Armored Cavalry Regiment.
The bomb exploded about 200
yards from any of the buildings or
mobile offices inside the com
pound and about 400 yards from
the hotel building itself. The truck
bomb last month was parked out
side the front of the hotel just yards
from Vieira de Mello’s office,
when it exploded and brought
down the facade, trapping him and
several others in the rubble.
