Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Thursday, March 7, 1991 01 GULF Continued from page 1 reported in Tehran possibly to dis- cuss Iraq's troubled south and other postwar developments. The U.S. military said President Saddam Hussein's government ap- parently regained control of rebel- lious Basra. Refugees from that southern Iraqi city said the loyalist Republican Guard was executing dissidents and scattering their bod- ies in the streets to terrorize others. It was announced yesterday that Saddam had dismissed his interior minister and appointed a cousin to the post. The cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid, was governor of Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation. Various reports filtered in about some three dozen Western journal- ists said to be missing in southern Iraq. Some telephoned their news organizations to say they were all right, others were reported in the custody of the Republican Guard and some were said to be under the protection of opposition forces in the south. Army Staff Sgt. Crystal Rickett, a chemical warfare specialist from Detroit who had been missing in action in the Gulf War, was re- ported safe and back with her unit yesterday. A family member said Rickett apparently joined other allied forces after she became separated from her own unit. Calvin and Hobbes AR OR MAR~i CkEETMA CAN RUNt OVJPER0O UAct O~R.

IT'S THAT SIXTH SENSE THAT GOT HER ELECTED! z °a f If the war kept students interested in going abroad from finalizing their plans, they're now going full speed ahead, even to countries students don't normally consider. The International Center is holding workshops on working, volunteering, or studying around the world, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. International Opportunities Coordinator Bill Nolting said that, on average, 20 people come into the office each week asking for information about these regions. "Going abroad is great anywhere, but Americans only think of Europe," said peer advisor Paul Benson, who spent a year studying and working in Japan. The staff wants to emphasize the rewards from overseas experiences in these "non- traditional" areas. "There aren't that many people who go to Third World areas," Nolting said. "The individual response is even more enthusiastic than people who have been to Europe." One workshop, "Finding a Job Around the World," which will be held in the International Center tomorrow, will feature several speakers discussing employment and study opportunities. LSA junior Ted Sevransky, a speaker at tomorrow's workshop, spent two years working and travelling in Europe and Africa. "It's a different world," he said. "It opens your eyes and changes your perspective on life in this country." Sevransky said the viewpoint he gained while travelling in Africa was different from the media's portrayal of famine, wars and coups. "You can't get a grasp on what someone's life is like (from classes or the media)," he explained. "It changed the way I look at my own life, and enabled me to have a greater empathy for those less fortunate than myself." After his return, Sevransky created his own major, International Development, through LSA's Individual Concentration Program. "You have to be able to recognize your Western biases and confront them," he said. "Not just to see but to understand that there are [different] ways of thinking, not better or worse, just different." International Opportunities Advisor Jeannine Lorenger said there is a need for a specific workshop on travelling to non- traditional countries. "It's possible to get a student work permit for many European countries, but there's no one single organized way to find a job in the rest of the world." Organizers hope tomorrow's workshop will fulfill that need by informing participants about the opportunities available. Volunteering at summer work- camps or the YMCA is an option in most countries. Longer commitments are also encouraged. "You're not necessarily going to go broke volunteering," Lorenger said. "The cost of living in lots of these countries is lower, so you can get by. The main expense is getting over there." Nolting, another speaker at tomorrow's workshop, will discuss opportunities such as scholarships or internships. "A work or study program which provides some structure is very valuable," he said, explaining that adjusting to developing countries can be more difficult for Americans. Paying jobs can be found in countries such as Japan, Korea,* Taiwan and Hong Kong. "They have stronger economies, and there's always a demand for people to teach English," Lorenger said, adding that working in these countries can be financially as well as culturally rewarding. Benson, another speaker at the workshop, hopes to dispel myths about Japan. "People have a lot of@ reservations about going to Asian countries," he said. "It's a myth that you need to speak the language, that you need to be an educated teacher to teach English, that there's already too many teachers. No matter what kind of person you are you can find a job in Japan." "Finding a Job World" will bet International Center t 3 to 5 p.m. Around held in omorrowf the the from I *MOD EL FOR .

"Be ready to have your world shaken up." Albanians flee crackdown VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Police fired warning shots yesterday over the heads of thousands of Albanians who besieged Tirana's Embassy Row, and 8,000 would-be emigres were reported to have fled Albania. Continuing unrest cast doubt on the ability of either the ruling Communists or opposition parties contesting elections this month to control popular discontent. The exodus appears to reflect mistrust of Albanian President Ramiz Alia's promise to improve political and economic conditions in Europe's poorest nation. About 8,000 Albanians were reported to have left yesterday for Italy after taking over ships in the Adriatic port of Durres, an official journalist said. Police in Durres fired shots over the heads of the would-be emigres, but otherwise did not attempt to stop the crowd, the journalist said. On Tuesday, nearly 1,000 refugees arrived in southern Italy, including a few who rowed across the Adriatic with shovels. Early yesterday, another 650 reached Italian shores. The Yugoslav news agency Tanjug reported that up to 1,500 ethnic Serbs and Montenegrins were trying to cross into Yugoslavia from northern Albania. They were stopped near the frontier by Albanian border guards and were awaiting permission from authorities in both countries. Diplomats speaking by telephone from the Albanian capital said thousands of people gathered at the street housing many western missions this morning. Dozens of armed police guarded either end of Embassy Row, the diplomats said. Arben Puto, an Albanian historian, suggested in another telephone call that some of the crowd had managed to get into Embassy Row itself. Palestinians beaten in revenge for alleged Iraqi collaboration KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait (AP) - Kuwaiti army and resistance personnel are beating scores of Palestinians suspected of collabo- rating with occupying Iraqi sol- diers, hospital and resistance offi- cials said yesterday. Palestinians have been burned with cigarettes, hit with typewrit- ers and chairs and had their finger- nails pulled out, according to those familiar with the beatings. At least 4,000 Palestinian and other suspected collaborators have been jailed since last Wednesday, according to resistance officials manning three police stations. "What we are giving them is nothing compared to what we got from the Iraqis," said Aziz Ghu- loum, a resistance fighter in charge of a police station in Kuwait City. A Palestinian medical student at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital said five Palestinians with bullet wounds to the head or chest have Color Printing Color Printing Color Printing Color Printing SRIO ri'dnoc nn colnr nrintinov been brought to the hospital since the Iraqi pullout. Since then, he said he has treated between 35 and 40 Pales- tinians beaten up by the resistance and the army, and heard of about 20 more cases. Resistance fighters accused their victims of denouncing mem- bers of the resistance, profiting from the Iraqi invasion by doing business with the invaders.
