The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 15, 1993 - Page 3 SERVE Center to " aid in job placement by Randy Lebowitz Students looking for internships, jobs and long-term volunteer experi- ences with non-profit social change organizations now have a new re- source on campus to help them ob- tain information in this area. SERVEwork - the latest devel- opment of Project SERVE, a student organization on campus that advo- cates community service - is en- tirely student-run. Organizers said they expect SERVEwork to become an impor- tant center on campus. "The center has been needed for a long time. Lots of students do not know what exists in non-profit ca- reers," said Anita Bohn, director of Project SERVE. SERVEwork Co-coordinator Craig Regester, an RC senior, rec- ognized the need to reopen "The Al- ternative Career Center," an organi- zation with a similar purpose, which dissolved in 1987 when its founders graduated. With the new name SERVEwork, Regester and his Co-coordinator Su- san Klein, a graduate student in the School of Business, have expanded the services of the center to include a current library of information on national non-profit organizations and folders organized by issues - in- cluding the environment, homeless- ness, peace and justice, and hunger. Regester stressed the "human el- ement" of the center with its team of Student Issue Coordinators who are accessible for questions and referral. Tom Lehker, a Career Planning and Placement staff member, ex- pressed his excitement about the new center, hoping that they can "better increase referrals." While Career Planning and Placement offers similar services, Lehker said, "There are more oppor- tunities in the non-profit sector with SERVEwork. " Emily Prokop, an LSA sopho- more, said she was excited about the center's opening. "I think it's really hard to find outlets for volunteer work because you have to research on your own and are never exactly sure who to call or where to go. "SERVEwork will provide its re- sources to students who already have interests in community ser- vice," said Julie Taras, an LSA sophomore. Today the SERVEwork represen- tatives will be introducing the center between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. in the Project Serve office, 2211 Michigan Union. Following the grand opening, SERVEwork will begin regular of- fice hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Supreme court rules in favor Pro-life by Karen Talaski Daily Gender Issues Reporter The Supreme Court decision al- lowing protestors to block access to abortion clinics furthered the debate about the protection of women's rights. The Court's 5-4 ruling, made Wednesday, determined that federal judges cannot stop anti-abortion groups such as Operation Rescue from blockading the entrances to abortion clinics. The decision was based on the 1871 "Ku Klux Klan Act," which bans conspiracies aimed at violating the constitutional rights of a "protected class" of people, such as African Americans. The Court - ruling on a Virginia case - said the 1871 law does not apply to those who participate in abortion blockades because women seeking abortions are not part of a protected class. "(The ruling) is a very large benefit to the Operation Rescue pro- gram," said Pat Rose, a volunteer for Right to Life of Wastenaw County. "Pro-abortion activists tried to say the law applied because it dis- criminated against a group of peo- ple. That's not true. They're trying to stop the killing of babies," Rose said. activists "Operation Rescue disobeys one law in order to obey a higher law,'. she added. "Their purpose is to save lives, not harm women." Eileen Spring from Planned Par-. enthood of Mid-Michigan disagreed with Rose. Spring said she felt the Court's decision was a blow to the Pro-Choice movement. "The Court says women are not entitled to federal protection from anti-choice terrorism," Spring said. "They are not protecting people who work at the clinics or the women who go to them." Spring said 14 clinics in Michi gan have been vandalized by stink bombs in the last year by anti-abor- tion groups, costing thousands of dollars in damage. "These types of activities are in- creasing," Spring said, referring to Planned Parenthood's problems with local activists picketing the building for the past two years. The President has the power to order federal protection of abortion clinics without any court injunction. In addition, federal law authorizes state officials to seek federal lave- enforcement if they cannot protect women adequately. -The Associated Press con- tributed to this report.

Former U.N. commander criticizes C's hasty action by David Shepardson Daily Government Reporter Brushing aside attacks that he is a "baby-eating monster," the former U.N. Protection Forces Commander in Sarajevo defended his neutrality and discussed his role in the ongoing civil war in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Major-General Lewis MacKenzie, the Canadian-born Commander of Forces from March to August of last year, addressed an overflowing crowd of 150 at the University's Institute for Social Research yesterday. MacKenzie strongly criticized early European Community (EC) recognition of Bosnia as an indepen- dent state and said the coalition was to blame for the opening of hostili- ties in Sarajevo. "Despite the urging of every mili- tary leader and even the covert urg- ing of the Bosnian president, the EC decided to recognize them anyway," he said. "The day after recognition of Bosnia - April 5th - the Serbs began shelling Sarajevo." In response to the audience's re- peated questions about whether a military solution was preferable or even feasible, MacKenzie said any military operation would do more harm than good. He added that world leaders had asked the United Nations to "find a solution to the problems in Sarajevo." MacKenzie said his primary duty in Sarajevo was to serve as the only mediator between the Bosnians and Serbs. He also arranged temporary cease-fires of four to six hours in or- der to allow the distribution of food and medical supplies. MacKenzie drew hisses and sharp criticisms from the crowd after 'I didn't condemn the Serbs. I was an impartial observer.' - Lewis MacKenzie former U.N. commander commenting that "both sides in the conflict were to blame." He related numerous stories, based on what he called "circumstantial evidence," of how Bosnia shelled their own civilian population in order to gain media support. He said the practice was not limited to Bosnia. "Both sides have bombed their own civilian population in order to gain favorable coverage from CNN," MacKenzie said. One woman who attended the speech questioned MacKenzie's credibility in the matter, asking, "What is your agenda? I believe you are a fraud." . Another audience member be- rated MacKenzie for five minutes as he tried to leave, criticizing him for having been "duped by Serbian propaganda." Pointing his finger at the crowd and raising his voice, MacKenzie responded to the repeated criticism. "I didn't condemn the Serbs. I was an impartial United Nations observer there to open the airport, deliver humanitarian supplies - not to make moral judgments." MacKenzie is a former comman- der of U.N. forces in the Gaza Strip, Central America and Cyprus. MacKenzie's speech, his 28th in the last 29 days, is part of a nation- wide tour. He left Ann Arbor to board a plane for another speaking engagement in Cleveland. Perot starts town meetings by Andrew Taylor about various public policy issues.
