First- class
stamp cost
to increase
to 32 cents
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON - The price of a
first-class letter will jump to 32 cents
starting Jan. 1.
The independent Postal Rate Com-
mission yesterday endorsed the pro-
posed 32-cent stamp, declaring that
the nation's troubled mail service
would further deteriorate if the Postal
Service were denied urgently needed
evenues.
The commission rejected a re-
quest for a 10.3 percent across-the-
board increase on publications, bulk
mail and parcels that the Postal Ser-
vice and mailers had championed.
Instead, the commission imposed
higher increases on those mail cat-
egories, accusing postal officials of
continuing to attempt to foist "a dis-
proportionate amount" of the agency's
sts on first-class mailers.
Postal officials and large commer-
cial mailers expressed disappoint-
ment, but not surprise, at the
commission's ruling.
"We expected it," shrugged Gene
A. Del Polito, executive director of
the Advertising Mail Marketing As-
sociation, whose members will have
to pay an extra $310 million a year
nder the commission's decision.
"Everyone is a winner, relatively
speaking, because all the increases
are below the rate of inflation," said
Arthur B. Sackler, executive direc-
tor of The Mailers Council, an indus-
try group which had joined with the
Postal Service in pushing for the
increase.
The Postal Service seemed ready
to accept the proposed rates, declar-
g in an brief statement that the deci-
on "appears to be designed to meet-
ing our revenue requirement" of $4.7
billion for the coming year.
The new rates are expected be
ratified by the Postal Service Board
of Governors within the next two
weeks, it said.


Serbian rebels
refuse to meet
Boutros- hali

Los Angeles Imes
SARAJEVO,Bosnia - H erze-
govina - Bosnian Serbs delivered a
humiliating snub to the world's most
prominent diplomat yesterday, refus-
ing to meet U.N. Secretary -General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali at the airport
here and sounding a death knell on
their tolerance of foreign efforts to
protect Bosnian Muslims.
Boutros-Ghali flew into the artil-
lery-encircled Bosnian capital on an
urgent mission to secure assurances
from Serbian rebel leader Radovan
Karadzic that his nationalist gunmen
would halt attacks on the U.N. "safe
haven" of Bihac and stop harassing
U.N. forces.
Mission officials and aides pleaded
by telephone with Karadzic under-
lings for a meeting at Sarajevo's air-
port, but were told the rebel leader
would see Boutros-Ghali only at his
self-styled capital, Pale, 10 miles east.

"I am not going to go to Pale
because the United Nations has rec-
ognized the Bosnian republic but we
have not recognized anv other kind of
entity." Boutros-Ghali told reporters.
After being rebuffed for more than
five hours by Karadzic. who refused
to speak to the U.N. chief by phone,
Boutros-Ghali and his international
entourage left Sarajevo trailing grave
warnings about what lies ahead lfor
the country's targeted Muslims.
Serb gunmen loyal to Karadzic
appear to have concluded the 24.000
U.N. Protection Force peacekeepers
deployed in this country have ex-
hausted their usefulness as purveyors
of humanitarian aid and buffer forces
that have effectively shielded the
rebels from retaliation by Muslim-led
Bosnian government troops.

tionalists have defied NATO air

Thinking of entering the world of
big business'? Your chances of suc-

Graduate programs around the
country are experiencing a continu-
ing rise in applications. However, the
number of students taking the GMAT
- required for admission to a Master
of Business Administration (MBA)
program - has declined for the past
five years, said University Business
School Counselor Evonne R.

Plantinga advises students who are
considering applying to an MBA pro-

"good verbal and quantitative skills"
during their undergraduate studies.

Students considering the
University's Business School "can

environment," Plantinga said.
LSA senior Eric Binder antici-
pates the rigors of business school. "I
expect business school to be very

He stressed the importance of ob-

Albert Tejidor, a first-year MBA
student, does not feel the University's
Business School is "overly competi-

ing an MBA program to take at least
two years off after undergraduate
school and obtain some business ex-
perience before applying.
"Students will need real-life expe-
riences working in business-related
fields to be successful in business
school," Tejidor said.
In fact, 92 percent of University
MBA students have at least one or
more years of work experience before
entering the graduate program.
Plantinga feels students who are
in the job market before entering an
MBA program will "have a better
focus and will maximize the value of'
their tuition dollars."

Sex - it is what most students
are preoccupied with, but may be
too shy to talk about. Former
School of Nursing Prof. Sylvia
Hacker says this attitude is too
old-fashioned for today's society.
Hacker, who admits her frank
discussions about sex can be con-

from masturbation to AIDS pre-

"Snacks and Sex with Sylvia."
"Let's learn about out bodies
and share our knowledge with our'
partners and have a good time.
That is my focus," Hacker said.
She began her talk with an in-
formal roundtable discussion
where the audience wrote their
deepest questions about sex on a
small piece of paper.
Hacker then lectured on the
basic history of sexuality in the
United States and described what
she says is a "very erotic-phobic
society.
"Up until Word War II we had
