force to review integration of the
Greek system. The subcommittee’s
recommendations are not final and
are subject to revision.
Binder said the University’s
Greek Life office has been working
on Greek integration for several
years. “We try to get our groups to
focus on (integration) throughout
the year,” he said.
The traditionally black and
white Greek systems operate dif
ferently. Instead of participating in
fall rush, historically black frater
nities and sororities rush at dif

on the decision of the individual
group, Binder said.
To encourage integration, he

Bush may reverse
stand, raise taxes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -The White
House put aside Presidsnt Bush’s
pledge against new taxes and said
Monday that talks to strike a
budgat deal with Congreee will
have “no precondition!.”
Although Bush's position on
taxes “is well known,” ns wants “an
open debate that Is unfettered with
conclusions about poaitiont taken
in the past,” said nil press secre
tary, Marlin Fitzwater.
Republicans involved in talks on
Capitol Hill praised the White
House's acknowledgement that all
waye of reducing the deficit would
be negotiable.
'That’s the only way he can do
the job,” said Rep. Bill Frenzel of
Minnesota, ranking Republican on
the House Budget Committee.
'There Un’t any president who
hasn't tried to make good on his
romiBes. There’s no president who
asn’t lived through times that
change, and maybe outdate some
promises," he said.
But Sen. Pete Domenici of New
Mexico, senior Republican on the
Senate Budget Committee, pre
dicted it would be tough to pass a
budget that includes tax increases.
"It would be hard to get anybody
to agree to that, not just Republi
cans,” Domenici said. ‘The ques
tion is overall, how strong is the
package in deficit reduction ... so
tradeoffs are worth it.”
Fitzwater said Bush intends to
follow up his Sunday night session
with the four top congressional
leaders with further meetings with
lawmakers this week to discuss
how to “break the logjam” that has
persisted nearly a decade.
He will talk strategy on Tuesday
with House and Senate Republican
leaders and hopes to hold another
bipartisan session later in the
week, Fitzwater said.
House and Senate leaders were
meeting Monday in the office of
Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell, D-Maine, to consider the
presidential initiative.
“I make no assumptions with re
spect to any aspect of the budget,”
Mitchell told reportere.
Fearing that rising interest
rates would seriously damage the
economy, the administration ini
tiated the budget talks following
the recent approval of rival $1.2
trillion budget proposals by the fiill
House of Repreeenatives and the
Senate Budget Committee.
Bush shares with congressional
leaders “anxiety over a deficit that
is fighting every reduction attempt
that we can come up,” Fitzwater
said.
Bush’s own fiscal 1991 budget
was never seriously considered by
Congress, and the administration
claims both House and Senate
measures would fall short of re
ducing the deficit — over (160 bil
lion this year — to the $64 billion
required under the Gramm-
Rudman budget-balancing law.
Failure to make thie target will
touch off automatic, across-the-
board spending cuts.
Congressional leaders have said
that getting the deficit down to the
required range to avoid the auto
matic trigger would almost cer
tainly require substantial tax
increases.
Although it is unlikely negotia
tors would entertain something as
drastic as an increase in income
tax rates, a wide range of tax pro
posals — including higher taxes on
energy — could be discussed.
Fitzwater’s comments Monday
generally reflected what partici
pants in Sunday night’s White
House meeting had reported: that
Bush had assured them everything
was on the table.
At his daily briefing for re
porters, Fitzwater repeatedly de
clined to say whether Bush’s 1988
campaign vow of “no new taxes”
was still in force. Bush has not re
peated his promise in months.
‘The president and the lead
ership tried to come to this with an
open mind,” Fitzwater said.
"Anyone can bring up an issue
for discussion and debate,” Fitz
water said.
