Bombing
leads UN
sanctions
on Libya
4TRIPOLI, Libya (AP)- Coun-
tries barred Libyan jets from their
airspace and ordered diplomats to go
home yesterday, tightening a noose
around the Arab country to pressure
it to turn over suspects in the bomb-
ing of Pan AM Flight 103.
The punitive measures were
sanctions approved by the United
Nations, but a defiant Libya tried to
flout them by sending its jets into
the sky. They were turned away.
Libya hinted it might retaliate by
expelling diplomats and announced
no Libyan airline tickets would be
sold to citizens of countries support-
ing the sanctions.
Although there is Arab sentiment
against the sanctions, nations in the
region abided by a U.N. resolution
passed March 31 banning arms sales
to Libya and calling on countries to
cut back Libyan diplomatic staffs.
Despite the grounding of flights,
land and sea links remained, includ-
ing ferr service to the nearby island
of Malta.
At this point, the sanctions could
prose more troublesome than crip-
pling. They do not include a boycott
of Libya's oil sales, which account
for 90 percent of the country's
earnings.
British Foreign Secretary Dou-
glas Hurd told British Broadcasting
Corp. radio that oil sanctions may be
next. This would be a significant
step;. since the current sanctions re-
ceive only lukewarm support from
many Security Council members and
are not nearly as tough as those im-
posed on Iraq when it invaded
Kuwait.
The Security Council met and set
up a committee to monitor enforce-
ment of the sanctions.
Life appeared to go on as normal
in Tripoli despite Libya's growing
isolation. Traffic was normal. A few
cars still displayed black ribbons on
radio antennas, left over from a na-
tionwide protest Tuesday over U.S.
air raids on Libya six years ago.

Russia may receive billions of
aid dollars by July from INF

WASHINGTON - The head of
the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) said yesterday that billions of
dollars in aid to Russia could begin
flowing by July, but warned that the
size of the package will be linked to
the quality of the country's eco-
nomic reforms.
IMF Managing Director Michel
Camdessus suggested that his
agency and the World Bank stood
ready to provide about $45 billion
over four years to Russia and the
other former Soviet republics.
But he said it was critical for the
republics to maintain steady
progress toward free-market
economies, warning that any doubts
raised about the economic reform ef-
fort would cause the West to recon-
sider its commitments.
"The magnitude of the disburse-
ment will depend on the strength of
the (economic reform) program,"
Camdessus told reporters. "The
stronger the program, the stronger
the financing will be."
Camdessus stressed that his esti-
mates of aid were only ballpark fig-
ures. But they represented the first
glimpse officials have been willing
to provide of the amount of Western
assistance being contemplated in

coming years for the 15 former re-
publics.
Camdessus said that the IMF was.
looking at providing $25 billion to
$30 billion to Russia and the other
republics through 1995. That would
be in addition to $12 billion to $15
billion the World Bank expects to
make available over this period, he
said.
President Bush earlier this month
announced a $24 billion assistance
package for Russia. That amount in-
cluded a $6 billion fund to stabilize
the ruble and $18 billion to help the
Russians buy critically needed
imports.
Of the $18 billion, $6 billion is
expected to be provided by the IMF
and World Bank, with the rest com-
ing from rich Western countries -
including the United States, Ger-
many and Japan - in the form of
direct aid, loan guarantees and
rescheduling old debt.
Camdessus said his estimate of
$20 billion for the other republics
this year would be composed of the
same types of assistance that were
being offered to Russia.
Camdessus said the world has a
tremendous stake in a successful

transition not just in terms of a re-
duced military threat but also in
terms of economic prosperity.
He estimated that output in the
former Soviet Union fell by 17 per-
cent last year because of the turmoil.
He said halting that decline and
boosting growth in the area to 4 per-
cent annually would raise worldwide
growth by 2 percentage points. That
growth is estimated this year at just
1.4 percent.
"In our interdependent world,
growth in any country is linked to
growth in all through trade," he said.
Camdessus said that IMF offi-
cials would travel to Moscow in
May to negotiate the terms of an
economic-adjustment program and
predicted that the program, neces-
sary for a country to receive aid,
could win IMF approval by July.
He expressed approval of yester-
day's vote in the Russian parliament
giving support to President Boris
Yeltsin's economic reforms, a vic-
tory won only after Yeltsin's Cabi-
net threatened to resign.
Camdessus said the IMF was
impressed by Yeltsin's determina-
tion to push forward. "Our main
concern is that the reforms con-
tinue," he said.

Students vehemently kicked,
ripped and screamed as they tore
down the wall covered with sexist
advertisements.
"This is very symbolic because in
our minds it is a very empowering
act," said LSA senior Saraswati

Kache.
LSA junior Emily Miller said this
type of event is necessary to raise
awareness about sexism.
"Right now everyone thinks sex-
ism is a woman's problem. People
think 'feminism' is a dirty word -
that a feminist is a radical bitch," she
said. "But when a man is asserting
his rights, it's considered great that
he is an individual and independent.
"Men need to realize sexism and
rape are men's problems as well,"

Miller said.
LSA sophomore Marla Green
said tearing down the wall of sexism
in a visible place like the Diag draws
attention to issues of inequality.
"It makes people aware of how
we feel as feminists and shows that
we are not going to give up until
sexism is dead," Green said.
The Sexual Assault Prevention
and Awareness Center and
University Minority Student
Services helped to sponsor the event.
