Serbs flee as new police take control
NATOA REPORT,~
The Washington Post
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
-Thousands of Bosnian Serbsjammed
the roads out of the Serb-held suburbs
of Sarajevo yesterday, hours before a
new multiethnic police force-includ-
ing Muslims, whom the Serbs have
fought bitterly for 3 1/2 years - was
scheduled-to roll in and take control.
They fled in cars, trucks, horsecarts
and even sleds, a ragged and hasty exo-
dus along the narrow, ice-slick high-
way leading east from the suburbs of
Vogosca, Ilidza and Ilijas to Serb-held
regions beyond.
"We must not wait," said Nebojsa
Mocvic, 58, who was leaving his home
town of Vogosca. "I know from the
television: When the Muslims come in,
they'll start killing us."
The guns may be silent around the
hills of this Bosnian capital, but a nasty
war of words this week helped drain
Serb hope and at times fuel hysteria
over whether peace has a chance in the
suburbs ofSarajevo. The entry of a new
police force today-theoretically made
up of Muslims, Croats and Serbs-was
supposed to be a step on the way to a
multiethnic society. Instead, it has
prompted more ethnic separation.
The continued flight from the
Sarajevo suburbs came on a day of two
other major developments: Bosnian
President Alija Izetbegovic was hospi-
talized with an apparent heart ailment,
and yet another problem surfaced in
negotiations between top Serb military
officers and NATO commanders.
Late last night, government-con-
trolled television reported Izetbegovic
was admitted to Kosevo Hospital in
Sarajevo and was under observation
aftersuffering "heart problems" yester-
day morning.
Hospital director Fahrudi Konjhodzic
said Izetbegovic, 70, should be "spared
of all duties," according to the televi-
sion report. It was unclear, however,
how the government was reacting to
that advice. Bosnian officials met in
private and "there was no word on who
would take over" his duties, state tele-
vision reported.
A senior party official told state radio
that Izetbegovic's life was not in dan-
ger. "It is not life-threatening. There is
no reason for any concern," said Edhem
Bicakcic, vice president of the ruling
Party of Democratic Action.
Meanwhile, for the second time this
week - just days after a summit in
Rome was credited with easing ten-
sions that threatened the Dayton peace
accord- Serb military leaders resisted
meeting with NATO commanders.
A NATO spokesperson yesterday
-said the Serb military was being given

U.S., Iran reach $131.8 M settlement
WASHINGTON - The United States and Iran announced a $131.8 million
settlement yesterday of Iranian claims against the United States, including
compensation for the 1988 shooting down of an Iranian airliner that killed 290
people.
The State Department said no U.S. money would go to the Iranian govemme.
Family members of Iranians killed when the U.S. Navy cruiser Vincennes shots
Iran Air A-300 Airbus out of the air over the Persian Gulf on July 3. 1988, will
share $61.8 million, the department said.
It said the other $70 million in the package will go into bank accounts used to
pay off private U.S. claims against Iran and Iran's expenses for the Iran-U.S.
Claims Tribunal, which is handling the claims. That portion was in settlement of
Iranian claims involving banking matters, not the airliner, U.S. officials said.
Contradicting the U.S. statement that the Iranian government was receiving
none of the money, Tehran announced the settlement as merely a payment to Iran.
In addition, the government news agency IRNA reported that $30 million was to
compensate for the lost airliner, but U.S. officials denied that.
In light of the agreement, cases covered by the settlement that were pendo
before the bilateral claims tribunal or the International Court of Justice were
dismissed, officials said.

another 48 hours to begin high-level
contact with the NATO-led peace force
and to agree to meet with Croat and
Muslim commanders in NATO-spon-
sored talks. NATO's concern prompted
its commanders to back off from a re-
port to the U.N. Security Council that
the general terms of the peace agree-
ment were being honored.
The NATO assessment is a key to
whether economic sanctions against the
Bosnian Serbs are suspended. British Lt.
Gen. Michael Walker, the commander of
NATO ground troops in Bosnia, said
cooperation would be tested yesterday
and today. If the Serbs do not establish
contacts, he added, "it will damage any
decision about the sanctions."

Buan said when she heard nomina-
tions for the award were being accepted
she sent e-mail messages to about 75
students in the 200-plus lecture and
made announcements to as many stu-
dents as she could.
"The Golden Apple is excellence in
teaching," Buan said. "It was the first
time I (even) voted."
Buan also said Boyd "never acted
holier-than-thou," and was impressed
with the professor's personality.
"She came offas human, as a woman,
as someone who doesn't know all the
answers," Buan said.
Like most professors at the Univer-
sity, Boyd balances the dual role of
researcher and professor. Her colleagues
agree that she has done a remarkable
job.
Nursing Dean Ada Hinshaw said,
"(Boyd) is a committed academic pro-
fessional who encourages her students
to challenge widely held assumptions
about women's health."
Boyd is also the director of the
University's Substance Abuse Research
Center where co-workers admire her
energy and determination.

"I've never heard her say, 'I wish I
didn't have to teach,"' said the center's
administrator Joane Lund. "If she says
she'll do it, she'll get it done."
Kraut said SHOUT "is completely
run by students" and is a forum for their
opinion on professors.
"At a university where there's a lot of
emphasis on research, it's one of the
instances students can pay tribute to
professors who have influenced their
lives," Kraut said.
Last year's Golden Apple award-win-
ner Tom Collier agreed: "It's a wonder-
ful opportunity for students to express
themselves - indicate the kind of fac-
ulty they appreciate. It's not a
bureacratic award."
Collier, a history professor, said he
gave his lecture on "the dropping of
the atomic bomb and myth versus
history."
The award was founded six years ago
by Hillel and its corporate sponsor,
Apple Computers Inc.
Hillel's Executive Director Michael
Brooks said, "(The award) is a good
way to remind the University that every
teacher should always be giving his or
her lecture."
The Golden Apple Award lecture is
scheduled for April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in
Rackham Amphitheatre.

At the start of the war in April 1992,
bullets were fired into both of Miller's
offices - what she termed to be part of
"the planned murder of Bosnian intellec-
tuals."
The main function of the Tribunal is
the search for truth, Miller said. And
she said the current president of the
state of Serbia was the biggest war
criminal of all.
"All orders came from Belgrade, the
plan for genocide and to take control of
Bosnia," Miller said. "There cannot be
peace without justice, and not doing jus-
tice will have tremendous consequences
for human kind."
LSA seniorJakob Crew said the forum
was a worthwhile experience. "It really
makes me think about how people can sit
back and watch terrible things happen,"
Crew said. "Or how we can take part and
promote change."

Shuttle lifts off after
brief engine scare
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -Seven 1
shuttle astronauts blasted into orbit yes-
terday to attempt a Space Age version
of Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment
- unreeling a satellite on the end of a
12.8-mile cord.
Columbia, carrying an international
crew, rose from its seaside pad at 3:18
p.m. As the shuttle sliced through a hazy
sky, Mission Control got a scare when a
cockpit light came on, indicating engine
trouble that could force the crew to abort
the flight. But itprovedto be a false alarm.
On Saturday, in a risky maneuver,
the crew will reel out the satellite and
try to generate electricity from the half-
ton metal ball and its slender cord as
they sweep through Earth's magnetic
field at 5 miles per second.
The same U.S.-Italian experiment
flopped four years ago; the tether
jammed on the reel and the satellite got
no farther than 840 feet from the shuttle,
producing hardly any electricity.
All known problems-most notably
a protruding bolt on the reel - have
been fixed this time.
Cleanup begs after
British oil' saster'
ANGLE, Wales - Human error
probably caused last week's tanker
grounding, which opened the way to
oneofthe 10largest oil spills in history,
the vessel's manager said yesterday.
The environmental devastation the
spill has generated in one of Britain's
prime wildlife refuges was becoming
apparent yesterday. More than a dozen
dead sea birds have washed up, and
hundreds more -- mottled with oil -
have reportedly been sighted.
"It is not just the things you can see,
like birds, seals and porpoises, that will
be affected, but sponges, mollusks and
other forms of life," said Phil Rothwell,
head of policy operations for the Royal
Society for Protection of Birds.
"This must be a disaster in anyone's
terms."
Capt. Peter Cooney, managing di-
rector of Acomarit Ltd., the company
that manages the Sea Empress, said
there was "a high probability" that
human error was to blame for the Feb.
15 grounding off St. Ann's head, the

Pres. set to overhaul
French armed forces
PARIS - President Jacques Chirac
went on national television last night to
outline a plan for the most drastic over-
haul of this country's armed forces in
nearly four decades, includingthe scrap-
ping of all land-based nuclear missiles
and creation ofa leaner, volunteer army
capable of projecting power far bey*o
French borders.
In a startling break with tradition for
a country that has long cherished na-
tional military service, Chirac declared
that over the next six years France would
abolish conscription and establish a
professional army that wouldbe smaller,
much more mobile and cheaperto main-
tain. The new force will be designed to
counter distant threats to European sta-
bility ratherthanmerelytoshieldFrerw
