must, among other things, rescind
its annexation of Kuwait and
accept liability for war damages in
the emirate.
About 12 hours after the meet-
ing in Safwan, Baghdad Radio an-
nounced that Iraq accepted the
tougher U.N. conditions. That ac-
ceptance could clear the way for a
permanent cease-fire in the Per-
sian Gulf War.


In other developments:
Iran's official radio reported
violence between Iraqis and gov-
ernment forces during demonstra-
tions against Saddam Hussein in at
least four cities. Washington re-
peatedly has urged Iraqis to over-
throw Saddam, but U.S. officers
say they don't know whether civil
unrest in Iraq has become
widespread;
Four U.S. soldiers were
killed in a helicopter crash in

northern Saudi Arabia, U.S. mili-
tary officials said Monday. Army
Maj. Marie Rossi was the first
woman pilot reported to be killed
in the Gulf War, and;
French President Francois
Mitterrand yesterday proposed an
unprecedented meeting of the
leaders of the U.N. Security Coun-
cil member nations to discuss
Middle East issues such as the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

to another crisis in two years the
way it did to the gulf crisis if those
cutbacks take place.
"We ought to take a new look"
at defense spending, he said.
Baker, who leaves Wednesday
on a postwar diplomatic mission to
the Middle East and the Soviet
Union, said, "in the aftermath of


this remarkable victory, there may
be indeed some opportunities" to
help solve the Arab-Israeli conflict.
But "the United States cannot
impose a solution," Baker said on
NBC-TV.
"The worst thing we could do is
arrive in the region, say 'This is
the American plan for peace,'" he
said. "That would be shot up like a
Scud missile with a couple of Pa-
triots."

Nonetheless, Baker said he had
"a gut feeling" that both sides now
may be more amenable to peace
talks. The war "has moved the
chess pieces a little bit on the
board," he said.
Baker said the United States
envisions an "enhanced naval
presence in the Persian Gulf" and
may leave supplies and "air as-
sets" behind when it brings its
troops home.

The University Interlibrary Loan
Department is testing a new docu-
ment transfer system which offers
clearer, more detailed copies than
conventional fax machines by using
computer hardware.
The system, the Document
Transfer Workstation (DTW), nick-
named "Ariel," transfers documents
by scanning them into computer
memory and using laser printers to
reproduce copies. The documents are
then sent through Internet, a com-
puter communications system.
Anne Beaubien, head of coopera-
tive access service for the University
library, said copies sent between the
five other universities using Ariel
are sharper - particularly copies of
photographs or illustrations - than
most fax machines. Beaubien said
this could help researchers in several
departments, especially the natural
sciences.
"In science and medicine very of-
ten the graphs are critical to the re-
search going on," Beaubien said.
Beaubien said other advantages
include a shorter scanning time -
approximately half that of a fax ma-
chine - and greater reliability.

In addition, there is the potential
to send documents from another uni-
versity directly to department faculty
rather than through the interlibrary
loan department. This possibility is
under consideration and receiving sta-
tions may be placed in some Univer-
sity departments later.
Ariel, in its fourth month of test-
ing, will be finished by June. The
The system, the
Document Transfer
Workstation (DTW),
nicknamed "Ariel,"
transfers documents

and using laser print-
ers to reproduce
copies
program began in November with
the exchange of documents with the
University of Pennsylvania.
"Currently, we are sending about
50 pages per day and receiving about
75 to 100," Beaubien said. "The test

sites are trying to send each other as
many requests as possible to test the
upper limits of the system."
Ariel, which uses commercially
available hardware, was developed by
the Research Libraries Group, Inc
(RLG). RLG, an organization of
universities and research institutions,
loaned Ariel to the University.
At the end of testing, which is
projected to last seven months in*
stead of the original six, the library
administration will have the option
to purchase the system at a discount.
Margo Crist, assistant director for
public services for the University li-
brary, said the number of libraries
planning to use Ariel will influence
whether or not the.University will
purchase the system.
"We haven't reached a point ofma
decision yet. We've been satisfied sf
far and impressed with the results,"
Crist said.
Response to the new system
from RLG members has been very
favorable, said Jennifer Hartzell at
RLG. Several universities have al-
ready expressed an interest in pur-
chasing the system, which will also
be available for sale to non-RLG li-
braries and research organizations. ,

PAKRAC, Yugoslavia (AP) -
Croatian special police yesterday
sealed off a second ethnically
mixed town, hoping to prevent pro-
Serbian supporters from staging
rallies in troubled Croatia.
The special Croatian forces,
however, began to withdraw from
another city, Pakrac, before a
midnight deadline set by the fed-
eral government for "all external
forces" to leave Pakrac, the state
news agency Tanjug said.
Croats and Serbs, Yugoslavia's
two largest ethnic groups, are ri-
vals to shape this country of 25
million's future. Their dispute
threatens to plunge the federation
of six republics and two provinces
into civil war.
Serbia, the largest republic, is

Communist-ruled and wants to
keep the federation together. Croa-
tia's center-right government wants
more independence in a looser
confederation.
Leaders of Croatia's ethnic
Serbs, who make up about 12 per-
cent of the republic's 5 million-
population, began agitating for
more autonomy last summer,
matching Croatia's moves for more
independence from the Yugoslav
federation.
Croatian police yesterday
blocked roads around Osijek to
prevent a rally by ethnic Serbs in
the town, 150 miles east of Croa-
tia's capital Zagreb and close to
the border with Serbia, Tanjug re-
ported.
Croatian police stopped about

400 ethnic Serbs from villages
around Osijek from entering the
town of 35,000, where theN
planned to rally in front of a Peo-
ple's Army building, Tanjug
quoted local Police Chief Josip
Reihl-Kir as saying.
He said tear gas was used when
the crowd "behaved aggressively"
against passers-by. Order was later
restored.
About 300 Serbs from the town
and a similar number of Croats
gathered in separate groups near
the military building, shouting na-
tionalist slogans, Tanjug said.
Police formed a cordon be-
tween the two angry groups and
ordered both to disperse, Tanjug
said. Four Serbs were detained for
refusing to comply.
erstadt wants the power to arrest in
order to squelch criticism of Uni-
versity policies," Jackson said*
"They had a strong political mo-
tive in bringing this incident to
trial. At the last minute they
chickened out."
Jackson said he wasn't sure if
the charges would be reauthorized.

cept less severe cuts. He treated
them with disdain."
Funding for the Department of
Social Services (DSS) has been a
major stumbling block to negotia-
tions between the legislature and
the Governor, said Stephen Serka-
ian, Press Office Director for
Speaker of the House Lewis Dodak
(D-Montrose).
According to a letter from Do-
dak to the House Democratic Cau-
cus, only $14.3 million of the $223

million allotted to social services
will be paid this year. The gover-
nor vetoed part of the bill thal
would have provided $123 million
to partially restore money taken by
the 9.2 percent cuts. Engler did
approve sections that will reduce
the number of layoffs from the
DSS.
While the government still
struggles with this year's budget,
Engler is scheduled to announce
the 1991-1992 budget Thursday.
Officials said it was not likely that
the old budget could be resolved
before then.
