SAUDI JETS
Continued from page 1
U.S. aerospace and defense contrac-
tors agreed to give the Saudis more
time to pay for American arms they
had ordered in recent years. The
United States has long been Saudi
Arabia's chief source of arms and the
main guarantor of its security. De-
spite the kingdom's reputation for
vast wealth, however, it has had to
make sharp cutbacks in its budget in
recent years because of the decline in
oil prices. At the White House cer-
emony, Clinton hailed the Saudi an-
nouncement as "a gold medal win for
America's businesses and workers"
and said it validated his

administration's intensified efforts to
lobby for American businesses.
In the Saudi deal, Secretary of
Commerce Ronald H. Brown, Secre-
tary of State Warren Christopher and
Secretary of Transportation Federico
Pena all traveled to the Saudi capital
of Riyadh to urge Saudi officials to
buy American. Clinton spoke by tele-
phone with King Fahd last fall on the
issue and the effort consumed the
attention of a host of senior officials.
Foreign governments were no less
engaged, with both French President
Francois Mitterrand andBritish Prime
MinisterJohn Major traveling to Saudi
Arabia to press the case on behalf of
Airbus Industrie - the European
manufacturer.

DEADLINE

thereafter.
"The warring factions have the
ability to stop us from striking; it's
very simple for them," Boorda said.
"They can put weapons under (U.N.)
control, or they can move them out of
the area.... The deadline is fixed."
NATO jets flew routine missions
over Bosnia yesterday as training for
possible attacks and to enforce a U.N.
"no-fly zone" over the former
Yugoslav republic.
. One of the patrolling jets, an
American F-16 fighter-bomber,
crashed yesterday morning after mal-
functioning over Slovenia near the
former Yugoslav republic's border
with northeastern Italy. The pilot
ejected safely.
Rose could ask for air strikes be-
fore Sunday if there is new shelling of
Sarajevo, which has lived under fire

for 22 months. A weeklong truce there
appears to be holding, however, de-
spite minor violations that included
the murder yesterday of a 56-year-old
worker by a sniper.
"If Rose asks for air strikes today,
Rose gets air strikes today," said one
senior NATO officer.
.Sporadic fighting was reported
elsewhere in Bosnia yesterday, where
nearly 250,000 people are reported
dead or missing since the ethnic vio-
lence began about two years ago.
Neither Boorda nor NATOspokes-
person in Brussels yesterday would
characterize the progress in disarm-
ing the Sarajevo region.
"There is no way that from the air
you could know where everything on
the ground is.... It is possible to move
things, and it is possible to hide things.
But there is a lot we can know from
the air, and it is that balance that I
want to keep to myself," Boorda said.
Bad weather and mountainous ter-
rain around Sarajevo complicate the
movement of ponderous equipment
such as artillery pieces, Boorda noted.

NATO
Continued from page 12
event the current cease-fire is vio-
lated. The United States is one of a
handful of countries that possess the
equipment and the soldiers trained to
operate it.
U.S. Ambassador Madeleine
Albright rejected both requests in line
with President Clinton's refusal to
commit U.S. ground troops to Bosnia
until a peace agreement has been
signed and at least partially imple-
mented.
"We don't provide ground troops,
and I don't believe that policy is go-
ing to change," a U.S. official said.
Difficulties in fulfilling both re-
quests would throw into question the
ability of U.N. ground commanders
to monitor Serb compliance with the
NATO ultimatum. NATO has threat-
ened to bomb Serb positions if their
heavy weaponry and mortars are not
moved outside the exclusion zone or
placed under U.N. control by Mon-
day.
There are 12,000 U.N. troops in
Bosnia, largely occupied with ensur-
ing the delivery of relief supplies to
Muslim civilians.

No country has yet offered top
vide additional troops, althoug
France offered to provide two sets of
radars to help identify the source df
artillery fire. The French equipment
is said to be less sophisticated than the
American version, and is unable tq
track fast-moving shells such as those
fired by some of the larger Serb guns.
The Dutch also possess such radar
but are restrained by domestic lave'
from deploying them in a situation
like the Bosnian war.
Top U.N. peace-keeping official-
Kofi Annan said the peace-keeping
contingent in Sarajevo would be se-
verely taxed by the demands of en-.
forcing the ultimatum.
U.N. and NATO officials, skirt-,
ing controversy over the details of,
how the ultimatum will be enforced,,
are focusing instead on the main obe
jective: that no more shells fall on
Sarajevo.
Meanwhile, Bosnia's Muslim-led,
government complained in a letter to,
the U.N. Security Council that the.
Serbs are being afforded a definition,
of withdrawal of their artillery and
U.N. control over their remaining guns.
that is "so permissive as to be incon-,
sistent" with U.N. resolutions. _0

BRATER
Continued from page 12
Arbor as a backdrop.
Nonetheless, Brater is rumored to
be considering another bid for mayor,
a position she lost to Republican Ingrid
Sheldon in April 1993.
Sheldon is running for re-election
in November. The Democrats have
yet to field a candidate for the posi-
tion.
But Brater won't say whether she
plans to run.
"I am pretty happy doing what I'm
doing now," Brater said, pausing. "I
think it's always rash to rule things
out."
Brater was drawn into Ann Arbor
politics in 1986 during a debate over
a plan to tear down a church and
convert the space to parking. After
researching the issue, Brater ran for a
3rd Ward City Council seat in 1987.
Brater was mayor between 1989
and 1991, presiding over a Demo-
cratic majority on council. The mav-
erick Nicolas - a University econo-
mist-and MayorBrater locked horns
over many issues.
Prof. Brater is a much less politi-
cal figure.
In her two sections of argumenta-
tive writing, Brater encourages de-
bate on the issues her students write
about. But the partisan rancor of City
Council meetings is noticeably ab-

sent from the classroom.
"I don't even notice whether she
has any strong political leanings,"
said Jason Poss, a School of Music
junior in one of Brater's classes. "She
encourages us to discuss both sides of
an issue, and doesn't force her views
on us."
Brater said teaching is her "majo
priority right now." But she remain
active in Democratic politics, attend-
ing meetings of the city party and
issues caucus. Brater estimates she
attends one or two political meetings,
a week.
She hopes to revive her proposal
for a loan pool to finance affordable
housing and small businesses. BraterX
said the banking community supports
the idea, but charged that it has beef
sidetracked by Sheldon.
Although she won't say whether,
she plans to challenge Sheldon in this.
November's election, Brater offers-
sour words for the current adminis-
tration.
"There hasn't been an awful lot of'
accomplishment coming from her
administration," Braterdeclared. "The
Democrats are showing the leader-
ship on council. Not much of value is.
coming out of the mayor's office."
Nicolas says Brater's statements
are motivated by personal political,
ambitions, not the interests of the city,
or voters. And Sheldon says her term,
has been productive.

LENT
Continued from page 1
LSA junior Karen Fashoway is
aiming big this year. "I'm giving up
the soft-serve ice cream in the East
Quad cafeteria," she said.
Wade Starnes, a first-year Engi-
neering student, said he's going to try
to give up carbonated beverages.
Jessica Pfeiffer, an LSA junior
and South Quad resident adviser, has
made an extreme Lenten sacrifice.
"I'm giving up drinking coffee, which
is something I normally do every day."
Pfeiffer said she plans to take the
money she would spend on coffee
and put it into the rice bowl. The
Catholic Church asks its parishioners
to eat one sacrificial meal a week and

put the saved money in a rice bowl too
be given to the poor at Easter.
Some people choose to give up
chocolate, movies or even television..
Erik Schnurstein, an LSA first-year
student, is giving up listening to Rush
Limbaugh. "I usually catch his show
about twice a week," he said.
For some reason, the practice
seems to attract people who do not
even consider themselves religious
throughout the rest of the year. Per-@
haps it provides an opportunity to
rejuvenate New Year's resolutions
that have since died out.
"I'm not really all that religious,
but this year I'm giving up stress. I'mr
going to try to stop being so stressed -
out," said Janna Bota, an LSA first-
year student.
