This past year, 17 students from
the International Association of Stu-
dents in Economics and Business
Management (AIESEC) earned mo-
ney working for foreign corpora-
tions.
AIESEC is a 40-year-old, non-
profit, non-political student organ-
ization. The association strives to be
an international organization with a
focus on its international exchange
program.
Insula Corp., a Sweden-based
computer company, employed LSA
senior Chris Lin in a market research
and product manager position in Fin-
land over the summer. The position
proved to be "one of the best jobs
I've ever had in terms of responsibil-
ity," said Lin.
Lin said he learned to enjoy
Finnish culture.
"Exercise is natural instead of a
chore for them, sauna is a popular
pastime for them. I had some of the
best times in sauna," he said.
Lin even learned how to play
peseboll - Finnish baseball. "It is
a game similar to baseball except the
pitcher stands by the batter and the
ball is thrown straight up. The run-
ners run in a zigzag pattern instead
of a diamond."

Both the University of Michigan
and Michigan State participate in
this association while Penn State
and Yale represent the Ivy League
schools. On an international level,
70 universities spread over each con-
tinent participate in this program.
AIESEC students are responsible
for finding companies in their own
country to hire foreign students. A
few companies that participate in
AIESEC are Apple Computers Inc.,
Chrysler Corp., NBC and Xerox.
Carssen Spenser, an LSA senior,
also enjoyed the European culture.
Spenser had lived in Europe when he
was younger, so working in Austria
for Municipal Electric company for
he summer rekindled his memory of
Europe..
Rebecca London, a graduate
with a B.A. in Economics, went to
northern Yugoslavia to change rough
translations of contracts to make
them sound professional.
"At first it was scary because I
couldn't communicate too well, but
by the end I felt at home," she said.
Within her six-week internship
in Ljubljana, the capitol of northern
Yugoslavia, London learned the
"basic words."
"By the end I could order a beer

by myself," she said. "It's different
very different. The hours they worl
are from eight to four even for th(
managers. If my project manager
were in America he would be work.
ing from eight to ten, but in Yu.
goslavia he worked seven to three
only seven to three," said London.
Another indication of the Yu-
goslavs maintaining strong famil)
bonds is their attitude toward mar*
riage.
"Everyone lives with their par-
ents until they get married. Like thi;
one guy who was 33 years old I
worked with lives with his mother
and brother," said London. "He
makes enough money to live on hi
own so I asked him why he doesn't;
he said we just don't do that here."
The Yugoslavs uphold othet
commitments too. "All the menu
have military duty, so a lot of the
AIESEC students had less schooling
than I do. Most of them do it for a
year before they can go back to
school."
This summer, the students earned
from $1,200 to $1,400 a month. Lin
used his earnings to rent a condo-
minium from another AIESEC stu-.
dent. Students must pay for their in*
dividual accommodation and airfare.

President Bush said yesterday that
Iraqi atrocities in Kuwait could lead
to trials similar to those held after
World War II, and his defense secre-
tary said U.S. troops will stay in
Saudi Arabia as long as needed.
Iraq, meanwhile, insisted it would
rather fight than withdraw from
Kuwait.
"Hitler revisited," Bush said in
Dallas of Iraqi actions in the tiny
emirate that Saddam Hussein's
troops seized Aug. 2.
"But remember, when Hitler's
war ended there were the Nuremberg
trials. Every day now, new word fil-
ters out about the ghastly atrocities

perpetrated by Saddam's forces,"
Bush said.
Yesterday, U.S. Defense Secre-
tary Richard Cheney said Americans
would stay "as long as the Saudis
want us ... as long as it takes to get
the job done. No one should
underestimate our staying power."
"Time is much more likely to be
on our side than it is on his side,"
Cheney said, referring to Saddam and
the U.S.-led multinational force.
Asked if there was the political
will in the United States to maintain
troops in Saudi Arabia for years,
Cheney said, "There certainly is."

Although parental notification is.
not as restrictive as the parental con-
sent laws effective in about half of
the United States for non-Medicaid
funded abortions, McBride said the
notification amendment is still
detrimental.
"The minor is forced to tell the
parent in which case the parent can
prevent the child," she said. She
added that in cases of incest, parental
notification becomes even more dif-
ficult.

to the change.
In the town of Middelburg, east
of Johannesburg, white residents
voted to close all public facilities
rather than open them to all races.
Other towns planned to charge
exorbitant fees for "non-residents."
Most of the people living inside
town limits are white, while Blacks
are forced to live outside the town
boundaries under remaining apartheid
laws that segregate neighborhoods.
For example, the town of Bethal
planned to charge an annual fee of
$200 to non-residents wishing to use
the public library.
Anti-apartheid leaders urged
Blacks to begin using facilities and
threatened strikes and boycotts
against towns trying to maintain
segregation.
"Entry to public facilities must
be unconditional and free. What
these councils are planning is an il-
legal act of banditry," said African
National Congress official Joe
Nkuna.
Hernus Kriel, federal minister of
planning and provincial affairs,
warned that towns trying to circum-
vent the change may face legal
action.

or without the Armstrong amend-
ment, it would be a major step for
the pro-choice movement.
"We're trying to get that foot
hold back. That's the strategy - to
build back towards Medicaid funding
for all low income women,"
McBride said.
Pat Rose, former chair of the
Right to Life Organization of
Washtenaw County said her organi-
zation is opposed to the Medicaid
amendment.
"We don't think the government
should be in the business of killing

A proposal to restore Medicaid
funding was passed by both the.
House and Senate last year, but was
vetoed by President Bush. McBride
said that if the Medicaid Amendment
passes the conference committee,
Bush would be less likely to veto
the entire bill due to current budget
debates.
"There's a lot of pressure on him
