12 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 20, 1996 -N AT ION/W OR LD Bosnia regains control of last piece of Serb-held land l The Washington Post GRBAVICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Almost four years after Bosnian Serb forces began pounding Sarajevo from the green hills and mountains that rise nearby, this battered city was re- united yesterday as the last remaining piece ofrebel Serb-held territory passed into government control. Waving Bosnian flags and crying with joy, thousands of Sarajevans, whom Serbs expelled from this neighborhood of high-rises and hillside condomini- ums in 1992, flooded back into Grbavica over Sarajevo's ironically named Bridge of Brotherhood and Unity, the scene of pitched battles during the war. Some families, split apart for years, were made whole again amid tears and long, triumphant swigs from bottles of potent moonshine. Others, after spend- ing the war years as refugees, crept back toward their former apartments, fearful of land mines and booby traps left by departing Serbs. U.N. officials reported finding at least five such de- vices. Sarajevo's reunification marks a watershed in the implementation of the Dayton peace agreement, which was brokered by the United States in November and is being enforced by 60,000 NATO troops. With yesterday's transfer of Grbavica, the crippling siege of Sarajevo, which for more than three years symbolized Europe's bloodiest conflict since World War II, was finally over. The Serb nationalist aim of a city perma- nently divided along ethnic lines had been thwarted. And people like Ismet Tajas could come home to Grbavica. Tajas was driven out by the Serbs in September 1992. Yesterday, he gazed up at his apartment building - still smoking from fires set by departing Serbs -and wondered how he was going to patch his life together again. "I've been a refugee in my city for too long," he said, speaking of his years on the other side of the Miljacka River separating Grbavica from the Muslim- held parts of town. "It is good to be home." However, when he was asked whether his return to Grbavica sig- naled the definitive end of the war in Bosnia, Tajas echoed the sentiments of many: "I think that in a year or two there will be war again. There is deep hatred, and the nationalists control all three sides." li; W Calling all interested U of MStudents.. . w N 1! *4r$A. - I r i441ww- ..-----S0 ----E.# The "league Utnderground" -.Logo Design Contest Background: The League Underground located in the lower level of the Michigan League is presently under renovation and will open by July '96.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - The Ozone Disco Pub should have held no more than 35 people. More than 400 were packed inside. There was supposed to be a way out in case of fire, but it was blocked by a new building next door. So when a spark became a blaze, and the dance crowd became a stampede toward the only door, at least 150 people didn't make it. Yesterday, authorities and family members did their best to identify the horribly burned bodies, relying on bits of jewelry and shoes. President Fidel Ramos, touring the charred ruins of the popular night- club, demanded that the disco's own- ers be questioned about why they let so many people into such a place. If the four owners failed to show up for questioning, he said, they should be arrested. "Obviously, the fire exits were not inspected," said Ismael Mathay, the mayor ofthe Quezon City suburb where the Ozone is located. "This was un- doubtedly a deathtrap." The Ozone was a place where upper- middle-class Manila youths went to be seen. There was food, drink and most important a tiny dance floor wedged between the disc jockey's station and the bar. It was the end of the school year, the season for graduation parties. Some 350 celebrants and a staff of 40 were crammed inside, bouncing and sweat- ing to a mix of pop music dished out by disc jockey Marvin Reyes. It wasjust after midnight, and the dar ing and drinking were ii full swing whet sparks flew from the discjockey's booth. Next came the smoke, then every- thing went dark and terrified revelers scrambled for the exit. Within minutes, flames were racing through the nightclub, fueled by the acoustic foam insulation. The lights were falling from the ceiling. The mez- zanine had collapsed. And the corridor to the sole exit we waist-deep in bodies charred beyond recognition. Safety officials said the club was approved for occupancy by 35 people, and that the fire exit was blocked by a new building next door. They also said club and restaurant owners often find it cheaper to bribe officials than to honor building regulations. Please return by April 4th to the Daily at 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor, MI 48109. Results will be printed on April i8th in the Best of Ann Arbor issue of Weekend.

Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma likewise blasted the Russian State Duma decision to nullify the old empire's breakup as a threatening action by the Communist-led lower house that will intensify Eastern Eu- ropean countries' desires to join NATO. Leaders of former Soviet republics from Armeniatothe Balticsvehemently denounced the Russian legislative ac- tion as aggressive, unlawful and politi- cally disruptive.

For a symbolic move intended t fan Russian nostalgia for the perceived glory days of the Soviet Union, last Friday's vote by the Duma to annul the 1991 agreement disbanding the old federation has spread discord among those it ostensibly aims to re- unite. It has also provoked concern out- side the former Soviet Union. U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christ- pher commented during a visit Ukraine yesterday that the Duma vw)t was "highly irresponsible," and pro,;- ised Ukrainian leaders the Urted States will back their independence and sovereignty even if the Commu- nists win in June and try to re-estab- lish the Soviet Union. Kuchma conceded the Parliament action could have a psychological im- pact. "Ukraine requires political stabi - ity as never before," Kuchma said. While the Duma's gesture has stirred controversy near and far, it has also bolstered the fortunes of President Boris Yeltsin in his uphill battle for re-elec- tion.
