2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 23, 1996 NATION/WORLD 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 Ak ~III~iall 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.

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." thinking about grad school thinkin about paper & pencil Thnk F Apnil 13 is yse C~a nCe to ta S.

"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.

But between vacation, summer jobs and catching up "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. AMBASSADOR Continued from Page 1 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."

Bible study for students at 9:00 am 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 The engine scare yesterday came a few seconds into the flight. The caution light as well as a gauge indicated one of the three main engines wasn't provid- ing enough thrust. It turned out to be a faulty reading, and Mission Control assured the crew everything was fine after maybe a half-minute of worry, Va. county awaits convict's recapture POWHATAN, Va. - A bruised and scraped killer was recaptured at a foggy crossroads yesterday more than a day after word of his escape from a rural maximum-security prison alarmed families living nearby.

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 territory. - From Daily wire services with your hometown pals, you can probably manage a class or two at Oakland University.
