By nightfall, gales on the leading edge of Gloria ripped apart a 200-foot pier at Atlantic Beach, N.C., and torrential rains but some streets in Beaufort, N.C, under three feet of water. "THE WHOLE area of the Nor- theast is threatened," hurrican forecaster Jim Lynch said. "The treat to New Jersey and New York will probably be tonight. Just a one or two degree change in the storm's track could move it from New Jersey to Massachusetts," he added. North Carolina Gov. Jim Martin placed 2,500 National Guard troops on alert, schools were closed and the Red Cross rushed to set up storm shelters along the coast. GOVERNMENT and military of- ficials from South Carolina to Massachusetts reviewed emergency plans and made storm preparations. Civil defense officials prepared the nation's capital for Gloria's torrential rains and violent winds. Workers secured scaffolding at the Jefferson Memorial to prevent damage to its marble and officials said high winds Coast could force the closingv of the Washington Monument. At 6 p.m. EDT, the center of Gloria was near latitude 32.6 north, longitude 76 west, 190 miles south of Cape Hat- teras, moving north at 20 mph. The storm's forward motion was expected to accelerate, and a hurricane watch was issued from Plymouth to East- port, Maine, in addition to the hurricane warning. THE NATIONAL Weather Service said New England is "looking down a gun barrel." "I am afraid we are going to pay a high death toll one day unless people respect the awesome power of a major hurricane," said Samuel Speck, associate director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Washington. While most people scurried from the path of the storm, some decided to stay put. Betsie Poindexter, a 20-year- resident of Atlantic Beach, said she and her two roommates wouldn't leave. Meterologist Jack Parrish of, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, flying in a storm- tracking plane through Gloria, said in a radio-telephone interview: "What is most important about this storm is its horozontal extent, how big it is. The hurricane force winds extend at least 150 miles from the center on the east and the northeast side. It's a very, very wide windfield. Strong winds." LSA. discusses majors/nunors By NANCY DRISCOLL The rising number of LSA students graduating with double concentrations has prompted the school's curriculum committee to consider strengthening departmental requirements or switching to a major-minor system. Dean Eugene Nissen brought up the issue for discussion at the committee's meeting on Wed- nesday by presenting figures from the 1984-85 An- hual Report of the LSA Office of Student Academic Affairs. ACCORDING to the report, not scheduled for of- ficiM,-release until next month, the number of double concentrations has risen from 14.9 percent of the bachelor of arts graduatea in 1983 to 22.6 percent last spring. In contrast, only 10 percent of the students receiving bachelor of science degrees were double concentrators. The figures Nissen cited proved economics, political science, communications and English to be the most popular departments selected by double concentrators. "Obviously, it's easier to concentrate in econ. and poli. sci. than Russian and physics," Nissan said. "I think there are a few (departments) that need to be stengthened." THE REPORT also showed that the average student with two or more concentrations took only 8.78 terms to graduate, while the average student working toward only one degree spent 8.98 terms in class. "Maybe the question should be raised as to whether a concentration is really a concentration when it only consists of 24 credits," added Robert Wallis, director of LSA Checkpoint and a non- voting member of the curriculum committee. Most concentrations in the hard sciences require 40 credit hours of coursework within the chosen department and another 20 or 30 credit hours in prerequisites, he said. But the soft scien- ce concentrations typically require - between 24 and 30-hours, he added. Wallis suggested that the school switch to a See LSA, Page 2 Bush to speak at 'U' Minorities question 'U' Peace Corj By MARY CHRIS JAKLEVIC Vice President George Bush, in Vommemoration of the 25th anniver- sary of the Peace Corps, will speak on the steps of the Michigan Union where John F. Kennedy first proposed the idea for the organization. Despite rumors to the contrary, the Beach Boys will not be on hand for the celebration. BUSH will speak at 2:45 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, said Bob Potter, director of University communication. Afterwards Bush will attend a private reception in m of returned Peace Corps volunteers om across the country who have been invited to the event. The Beach Boys were never com- mitted to performing at the event, Potter said. Although the band had s gala originally expressed some interest in the idea, definite arrangements never panned out, he added. "I don't have any idea why,"' said Potter. "My guess is that they are always considering a wide variety of possibilities, and that only some of those work out. I don't think it was something unusual." THE commemoration, to be held Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 7 and 8, centers around a symposium entitled, "America's role in Africa's develop- ment: Past and Future," which will feature speakers from the U.S. gover- nment, Africa and other universities. Originally the conference was scheduled two weeks later in October, but the dates were changed to ac- commodate Bush's trip to China.

"(Administrators) think they're doing us a favor, but they're not and they don't care," charged Charles Chen, a 1985 University graduate who still belongs to the Asian American Association. "THEY NEVER come to us and we're affected," he told the group of about 30 blacks, Asians, and Hispanics at the Trotter House forum. Last year, minorities accounted for 11.3 percent of the student population. . cngstrategies Black students are the largest "the time has passed for fighting with minority group on campus, accoun- the administration." ting for 5.1 percent of the student Instead, he said he hopes he and his body.

The [ owed more than $2 million because of other aid it eceived from the department, according to Jim executive director of the ICC. But under an early repayment program, which expires Monday, the council will be required to pay back only $1.1 million of its debt. Jones said the federal government is willing to take a loss on the repayment now because it otherwise would have to borrow money at a much higher interest rate to loan to the ICC. The council was charged an interest rate of three percent on that loan. "We're borrowing a little bit more than a million (dollars) from the National Co-operative Bank," to pay back the education department, Jones said. The bank was established by Congress with the purpose of making loans to co-operative systems. Because the second loan will be made at a 12 percent rate of interest, Jones said that co-op residents may see "a little bit of an increase in charges . . . for the next year."~ The ICC hasn't decided when it will put the Xanadu house as Washtenaw Ave. up for sale, he added.
