Lows will be in the upper 20s By Melissa Lake Wausau Daily Herald Unseasonably high temperatures this morning will yield to lows in the 20s by tonight, changing this morning's mist into snow. Rain, drizzle and fog brought on by a low pressure system moving to the northeast from Oklahoma may create low temperatures and snow before morning, said Fred Wagner, meteorologist with Great Lakes Weather Service. "We can expect heavy snow over western sections of Wisconsin late today and into tonight," Wagner said. "This will affect our area.

The western two-thirds of the state will have snow and the eastern third will get rain." This morning's rain and mist is expected to turn to snow sometime after 6 p.m. today, Wagner said. Though our area will see no more than 4 inches, he said heavier snow will be reported in western Wisconsin and lighter precipitation in the eastern portion of the state. A snow advisory was issued for far northwestern Wisconsin for this afternoon and tonight. Eau Claire, Rice Lake, Grantsburg and Superior were included in the advisory area.

Snow amounts of 2 to 5 inches are expected by Wednesday morning in the advisory area. Forecasters said brisk northwestern winds will cause some blowing and drifting of snow. Wagner said road conditions could be haz ardous. The National Weather Service said colder air is expected to become established around all of Wisconsin for midweek as the low pressure is pulled into southern Canada. Little or no precipitation is expected during the final three days of the week.

Wausau temperatures reached a high of 51 at 4 a.m. today. The high temperatures kept rain and drizzle Monday night from freezing in most parts of Wisconsin, Wagner said. Most of Minnesota saw freezing rain Monday, but little was reported in Wisconsin, he said. Milwaukee set a record high for this date at 67 shortly after midnight, while Madison set a mark of 65 about the same time and Green Bay established a new standard of 63 about 2 a.m.

But by this afternoon, Wagner said tures will begin falling to the low 30s. By 3 a.m. Wednesday, temperatures will fall to the mid-. 20s. "It's definitely not your typical November; weather," National Weather Service meteorol: ogist Tom Zajdel said.

With the agreement Monday among the five permanentSe-curity Council members, the broad coalition the United States has mustered against Saddam Hussein crossed a crucial threshold, authorizing the use of military force. There had been speculation the Soviets and Chinese might abstain on the resolution, which the 15-member council is expected to take up on Thursday.

Secretary of State James A. Baker III has traveled the globe for weeks seeking support from Security Council members for the use-of -force resolution. Soviet Ambassador Yuli Vorontsov said Monday that he was "enttfusiastic" about the new measure. The Security Council has already passed 10 resolutions condemning Iraq's Aug. 2 seizure of Kuwait and imposing trade sanctions.

This may be the last resolution on the Persian Gulf crisis, Vorontsov said, "because we all hope that after this, a peaceful settlement will be possible." Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev met with Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz in the Kremlin on Monday after telling lawmakers the alliance against Iraq would not be broken and said aggression "should be punished." Another Soviet official. Foreign Ministry spokesman Vitaly Churkin, accused Iraq of preventing hundreds of Soviet citizens from leaving Iraq. Aziz returned to Baghdad on Monday night and accused the Security Council of pursuing a "double standard" by calling for Iraq's pullout from Kuwait without similarly pressuring Israel to leave the occupied territories. Iraq "will continue to struggle steadfastly to realize peace and justice in the region, and to restore first and foremost the Palestinian Arab people's rights," Aziz said on Iraqi Radio.

Oil prices jumped $2 a barrel Monday amid speculation about the prospects for war in the Persian Gulf region. Under the draft U.N. resolution, Iraq would have to release all foreign hostages, withdraw its troops and restore Kuwait's government by Jan. 1 or Jan. 15; the Security Council members have not yet fixed a date, and the draft contains both dates as options.

The 1990-91 cuts, scheduled to be implemented in January, will mean that about 50 instructors who previously were allowed to teach night school and summer school in addition to their regular course load will no longer be able to do so. Those courses will be taught by part-time staffers, Kramer said. "When you replace someone who's a professional and makes a livelihood teaching, it's not the same as having someone in business come in and teach a class," Kramer said. "I don't know if the dollar savings will equate to the quality loss." Mills said only qualified part-time instructors will be hired. "We're not just going to bring a warm body off the street," he said.

Mills said money has also been provided for full-time faculty to teach courses when qualified part-time help is not available. Please turn to NTC2A of potential layoffs in January. "We're not certain all those positions will go," he said. "It appears between $400,000 and $600,000 will have to be cut" from the 1991-92 budget. Andrews said data submitted to faculty by district Director-President Donald Hagen suggest that more steps should have been taken earlier to prevent the drastic measures being considered.

"This is quite apparently not a new problem," he said. "This shortfall really started back in 1985 and 1986 and I don't see where they made a significant attempt to cut things back between then and now." Mills said cuts have been made every year he's been at NTC and that long-range planning has allowed small increases in staff as labor costs have risen.

A proposal submitted to faculty members by Ken Mills, vice president of academic affairs, calls for the reduction of up to 11 full-time faculty members for the 1991-92 school year, he said.

"We also see cutting back some of the programs that have been very popular and have produced good jobs for the people when they graduate from here," Andrews said.

Skinner Index Ann LanderslOA Business Farm6B Classified7B ComicsTV5B Crossword8B FeatureslOA Home9A Opinion8A Records7A State5A WASHINGTON (AP) Seventy-five percent of the nation's top economic forecasters contend the nation has sunk into a recession, although two-thirds expect it to be mild and end by April, according to a survey released today. "Recession is here," the National Association of Business Economists said in a report on its canvass of 51 professional forecasters.

The finding was a dramatic switch from an NABE survey just a year ago, when 62 percent of the forecasters said the economy would escape a recession through 1992. Just after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August, 45 percent of the forecasters said a recession either had begun or was imminent. Some economists on the current panel who say the downturn has not yet begun predicted a recession would begin early next year. Only 15 percent of the panel continue to hold to the "no recession" scenario. The NABE survey mirrored an earlier survey this month by Blue Chip Economic Indicators.

Eighty percent of the 52 prominent economists participating in that study said a recession will begin before year's end. Another five percent said it would begin in 1991. The Associated Press The economic forecasters project: The economy: It will expand just 1 percent for all of 1990 and 0.8 percent next year. Unemplopment: The forecasters believe unemployment will rise from 5.5 percent this year to 6.1 percent in 1991. Inflation: At the same time, inflation as measured by the U.S.

Labor Department's Consumer Price Index will drop from 5.5 percent in 1990 to 5.2 percent in 1991. The 1990 rate forecast in the latest survey is up from 5.3 percent in the previous survey because of higher oil pi ices. Profits: Corporate profits are projected to decline 4 percent this year and 1.3 percent in 1991. That's down from the previous survey that forecast a 2.7 percent decline in 1990 and a 3 percent gain in 1991. Deficit: The forecasters said the federal budget deficit will rise from $220.4 billion in the fiscal year that ended Sept.

30 to $258 billion in fiscal 1991 and $240 billion in fiscal 1992. The projections include the cost of the savings and loan bailout. Excluding those costs, the deficit would be $198 billion in the current year and $180 billion in fiscal 1992. what." 6hlly ArpWug Dally Hwttd The family learned of the death Sunday, he said.
