Clinton leads in Post poll WASHINGTON (AP) —DemocratBillClinton has a 15-point lead over President Bush, according to the latest ABC News-Washington Post PollAmong 611 likely voters asked Sept. 9-13 who would get their vote if the election was held the day they were telephoned, 54 percent said Clinton and 39 percent said Bush.
Defense claims contradicted NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. Navy jet downed in the early days of the Gulf War was shot down by an Iraqi aircraft and not, as the Pentagon maintained, by a groundto-air missile, a U.S. Navy intelligence officer says. The report, which appears today on the op-ed page of The New York Times, contradicts Department of Defense claims that no U.S. planes were lost in aerial combat during the 43day war.

Free speech defined on college campuses By Tami Watson Staff Writer
A June Supreme Court ruling that overturned a "hate crimes" law in St. Paul, Minn. has left many universities rethinking their "hate speech" codes and wondering if the government walks a fine line in preserving free speech. In the St. Paul case, the court ruled that the government went too far in an ordinance banning displays of racial bias. The Court clearly stated that speech could not be restricted because of its content, but Justice Antonio Scalia wrote that "words can in some circumstances violate laws directed not against speech but against conduct." This leaves universities with two choices: abolish existing hate speech codes or write more general ones. The University of Central
Oklahoma has no specific policy on hate speech, said Joyce Mounce, vice-president of administration. And as far as the issue of political correctness, "we have not adopted those," she said. The Student Conduct and Appeals Code, outlined in the UCO Student Handbook states that actions involving "hazing, mistreatment of others, particularly as it applies to student organizations or groups, who endanger, injure, mistreat, harass, degrade or disgrace other students or persons and in any way interfere with educational activities" are prohibited. The decision has raised a serious question: Should speech be restricted because of its content? The issue is far from settled. Higher-education officials say the recent decision merely frames new terms for debate.
Theater denied Edmond voters Tuesday rejected a proposal to build a performing arts theater on the University of Central Oklahoma campus. The proposal, one of 11 on the ballot, would have called for a one cent sales tax to build the theater. In addition, voters defeated other projects in the $15.6 million plan to improve "the quality of life" in Edmond.

Proposal denied? •President refuses to endorse a plan to reform health care He drives away from the newly built, white concrete parking garage in his black Mercedes-Benz. When he arrives home, he sits down to a meal of filet mignon and red wine — served by his private cook. Later that evening he plans to attend the symphony orchestra opening concert. His black tuxedo has recently been dry cleaned and pressed for the night. The above scenario could typically describe a doctor's life in America. Fine food, the most expensive cars and nights experiencing the fine arts are all apart of the lifestyle. And while physicians, surgeons and hospital administrators can easily afford "the finer things in life," many Americans with illnesses cannot afford an extra two aspirin when they must stay in the hospital. Prices for basic health care and health insurance continue to skyrocket — and in the meantime, millions of Americans are being denied the right to medical attention. Medicare, the government program which supplies funds for the elderly who need medical care, and Medicaid, which gives aid to the poor, are available to some Americans. But what about the middle-income family where both parents are the breadwinners — and yet cannot make enough money to pay for health care for themselves — or for their children. One of the only lights at the end of this bleak, dark tunnel is the American College of Physicians. The ACP has recently offered a plan to Congress which would include capping fees doctors and hospitals could charge patients. But this plan, even if approved by Congress, must be endorsed by President George Bush — and Bush has said there is "not a chance" he will pass the reform because it could hurt the health care "business." At the same time, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, has said the proposal is similar to his "pay or play plan" which would give employers a choice of providing health benefits to employees or paying into a fund for the uninsured. So what's next? Will the health care industry remain filled with luxuries for the rich and continue to deny the working class basic medical attention? Or — will Americans rally for this new ACP proposal and finally reform their country's medical system?

CAMPAIGN
George Bush
Bush: Opposes national health insurance. Also rejects Democratic "pay or play" plan giving employers a choice: provide health benefits or pay into a fund for the uninsured. Favors tax incentives to help lowand middle-income families buy basic benefits themselves.
Clinton: Promises to announce a national health care proposal during his first 100 days that would eventually provide universal coverage. Favors cracking down on insurance and drug industries to contain rising costs. Bill Clinton
Health care solution is needle in government haystack; more help hunting needed By Tami Watson Staff Writer
As the 1992 Presidential Campaign comes to a heated climax, Americans are wondering if effective, timely, reasonably priced health care is a possibility — or a myth. The United States has the best health care available in the world, and the issue at hand is how we can make this care available to more people at a lower cost without damaging the things that make U.S. health care great.
THE ISSUE
"It's a tough issue," said Joacquin Stevens, president of the University of Central Oklahoma student government association. "There has to be some major reform to keep the costs down and make it more accessible to more people." Currently, most people receive health care coverage through private insurance policies organized by employers, universities (such as plans offered by UCO) and other institutions. There are also special government insurance programs for the elderly (Medicare), the poor (Medicaid), war veterans and government employees. However, nearly 35 million Americans remain uninsured because they are unable to pay the high costs of health care. "We need to address the problems and seriously start
looking for long term alternatives in health care," said Peter Regan, UCO economics major. "We need to expand preventive and long-term care and demand reform in the insurance companies and medical bureaucracy." "There needs to be some indepth look into the situation," said Stevens. "We need to find out the best way to make health care available to more Americans." As costs continue to soar due to overwhelming paperwork, malpractice suits and new, expensive technology, each presidential candidate is promoting his plan to solve the situation.
CLINTON'S PLAN Clinton endorses a public/private insurance plan for all Americans. This is also
commonly known as "play or pay," in which employers and employees purchase private insurance or opt to buy into a public program by which the poor and unemployed would be covered. Simply speaking, this plan would require businesses to foot the insurance bill for the unemployed through payroll taxes. Clinton also supports enacting the Reproductive Health Equity Act to increase the health care resources available to women. Clinton wants to cut projected Medicare spending by $41 billion by 1996 by limiting growth to adjustments for inflation and population increases. Clinton says Medicare beneficiaries would pay $2,000 more over the next five years under President Bush's plan. Clinton has only specified $3.3 billion of the cuts, leaving it unclear how he would achieve
the other savings.
BUSH'S PLAN Bush endorses a system of tax credits and deductions for middle-income families and the poor to help pay health insurance costs. Families below the poverty line would receive up to $3,750 either as a voucher or as credit subtracted from their tax bill. Those earning up to $70,000 annually could deduct up to $3,750 from taxable income for health insurance or unreimbursed medical bills. These tax write-offs would make health insurance more affordable for middle-class citizens, Bush says. Basically, Bush is leaving le speed and efficiency of the U.S. health care system intact, while addressing the issue of cost and universal access. And, he says he can do it without raising taxes.

This path's full of potholes DETROIT (AP) - The White House candidate is introduced as "the man with the plan" and in fact he has one –13 proposals he wants Congress to enact in his first 100 days. Not a bad strategy for a fresh new face at the outset of a national campaign. But this is a familiar face and the election is only a few weeks away. And those weren't the only problems with President Bush's attempt Thursday to lay out an economic path to the 21st century. At this late date, the prudent pragmatist is trying to recast himself as a visionary. So he offered a nicely packaged "Agenda for American Renewal" and the "grand goal" of a $10 trillion economy, which one aide likened to John F. Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon. If the framework was new, most of the particulars were not – some languishing in Congress or already rejected, few considered sweeping enough to have major impact on American households or the economy the president describes alternately as
dreary, anemic, lousy and "hell." "More tax cuts for upper income people, and more deficit and less growth," scoffed Democratic nominee Bill Clinton, who has been offering voters a booklet of economic ideas since January. "We've tried this for 12 years. Now, two months before the election, t'..x president repackages it." For average Americans, the big news was the 1 percentage point tax-rate cut floated by the president as an example of the tantalizing possibilities should Congress accept spending caps he wants to set on mandatory benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Treasury Depai (went said a 1 percent reduction in the tax rate would be worth $5 a week to a four-member family earning the median income of $43,000 – even less than Clinton's dollar-a-day, middleclass tax cut proposal that drew dripping scorn from his primaryseason rivals. Bush and his aides insisted repeatedly that the tax-rate cut was simply an illustration, simply an example.
making more than a $75,000 a year. He's talking about 54,100 people – 2.6 percent of the federal workforce. Bush himself was put on the defensive by some of the questions from his audience, the prestigious and presumably sypathetic Detroit Economic Club. How realistic is it to say we can double the size of our economy but the early years of the next century? Bush admitted it would take 7 percent annual growth - while recent growth has been under 2 percent. "I'm convinced it is not going to remain anemic," he said. "I think the goal is very much achievable." And why a blueprint now, just two month before the election? Bush said he is "trying to put a comprehensive plan out there that encompasses many of the ingredients we've been talking about."

State's registration system called cumbersome
WASHINGTON (AP) — League of Women Voter's criticism of Oklahoma's voter registration doesn't jibe with the fact that Oklahoma has one of the highest percentages of registered voters, the state election board secretary says. The league on Monday included Oklahoma among more than a dozen states that the league said have cumbersome registration systems. "The worst states have confusing, cumbersome and inconvenient voter registration requirements which actually block citizens from participating in our electoral system," said league President Becky Cain. Oklahoma's Lance Ward took exception to Oklahoma's inclusion in the list, noting the state ranks third in the percentage of its voting age Roughly 500,000 people in population that is registered. Oklahoma's voting age Ohio voted both for President population is about 2.2 million Bush and liberal Democratic and the number of registered Sen. Howard Metzenbaum in voters is 2.1 million. 1988. Nationally, Democratic Ward said Oklahoma's National Committee Political system of deputy registrars, who Director Paul Tully said roughly are paid 75 cents per person for 25 percent of voters fit the "ticket-splitter" label. "They don't come at their vote in an ideological way," said Tully, who now operates out of Clinton headquarters in Little Rock. "They are pragmatic people who want to know what a candidate is going to do, not what party he's from. And they are the last group of people you have to get to make a national majority."

"We're not confined to one time and one place to register voters as is the case in most states," Ward said. "We'll send registrars to goat ropings." The league supports the National Voter Registration Act, which would streamline and reform voting procedures. President Bush vetoed the legislation on the grounds that it would invite fraud; Congress is expected to try to override the veto this week. Few states have adopted all the measures the league recommends: registration by mail, "motor-voter" programs that tie registration to drivers' license applications and renewals; registration at schools and unemployment offices; and registration at government agencies and agencies serving the disabled.

Cross country teams set to run at OCUSA By Justin Harper
Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's cross country teams will travel down the road a couple of miles Saturday to compete in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational. The Bronchos and Lady Bronchos will be running in their second meet of the year after competing in the Wichita State Gold Classic last Friday. In the Gold classic sophomore Shawn Johnson paced the men by placing 28th in the four-mile race. Johnson ran the race in 22:04, beating his time in the same race a year ago by two minutes. As a team the Bronchos finished in ninth place. Other runners placing for the men were John McIntosh, who placed 36th with a time of 22:30, Russ Warington-45th-22:56, Todd Smoot-46th and John Mills-47th. "Our top seven finished right where I expected." said UCO coach Paul Parent. "We still miss Brian Calloway (knee surgery), but he'll be back in mid-October." The Lady Bronchos finished in seventh place and were led by a pair of sophomores. Mylissa Hall placed 27th overall in the twomile course with a time of 13:14 and Ashley Mathis came in 34th posting a 13:27 timing.

Leming garners Spikers in Arkansas tourney Lone Star honor From Staff Reports ABILENE, Texas (AP)—Angelo State quarterback Wilbur Odom and Central Oklahoma defensive back Mart Leming have been named Lone Star Conference players of the week. Odom, a 6-foot, 200-pound senior from San Antonio Holmes, completed 15 of 29 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns Saturday before leaving the game in the third quarter of the Rams' 33-3 victory over Prairie View A&M. Leming, a 5-10, 172-pound senior from Sulphur, Okla., had eight tackles, an interception, recovered a fumble to set-up the goahead touchdown and intercepted a two-point conversion pass attempt to preserve Central Oklahoma's 17-15 victory over Fort Hays State.
Central Oklahoma's volleyball team will travel to Magnolia, Ark. this weekend to participate in the eight-team Southern Arkansas Invitational. The Lady Bronchos, 5-1 after Monday's home win over Southwestern (Kan.), will play three matches in pool play Friday and one Saturday morning before the bracket portion of the tournament begins. In pool play UCO will meet Ouchita Baptist, Central Arkansas, Southern Arkansas and Henderson State. Last week UCO opened the home season with a come-from-behind win over Southern Nazarene. The Lady Bronchos prevailed in a five game struggle 7-15, 12-15, 15-3, 15-11, 15-10. "I was impressed by the way the girls fought back and won," said UCO coach Mark Herrin. "But we shouldn't have gotten ourselves in that bind. We're going to have to play better than that if we hope to compete against some of the teams that will be in Magnolia."

ENTERTAINMENT `Political Correctness' and pretension dominates the music of the '90s By Larry Rogers Copy Editor You know you're getting old when the music that was popular when you were a teen is heard only on "classic rock" or "oldies" stations. And believe me when I say it will happen to you.
Column I can't find a connection with today's music. Oh, I'll admit, some of it is catchy, but it's in the
Ugly Kid Joe has released a new album, 'America's Least Wanted," on Mercury Records.
older music—the '50s and '70s— that I find solace. A friend of mine, upon hearing lyrics such as "who
put the ram in the ram-a-lamading-dong" and "My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble" had the nerve to call it insipid. Insipid? Surely, but isn't that the whole point? Music is for entertainment. Some of today's artists take themselves too seriously by attempting to inject a political message into their songs. Sort of a form of "musilitical correctness." Puhleese. If I want to get depressed I'll turn on the news. I used to take pop music seriously. I found deep meaning in the lyrics "once had love and it was a gas/Soon found out, had a heart of glass," but believe me, you outgrow it.
"Honeymoon In Vegas" worships The King By Suzanne Gert Guest Writer Elvis will never die! ! ! Impersonators and Graceland aside, it remains easier to sing "Heartbreak Hotel" in the shower than "Lithium" or "November Rain." A sudsy pelvic thrust is safer to manuever than tub diving or Axl's serpentine sway. "Honeymoon In Vegas" has a snappy plot delivered in a smooth Wayne Newton style and perfor-
mances by Nicolas Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker, and James Caan are endlessly amusing yet the star of this picture is undoubtably the soundtrack.
Review Caan and Parker's trek across the pineapple state would fall flat without Willie Nelson crooning "Blue Hawaii." The best track by far is Travis Tritt's version of "Burning Love." What is it about
the King's songs that curls the lip and adds a vibrato to the voice? For a woman known for spirituality, Amy Grant rips the soul out of "Love Me Tender" and leaves it sounding more like Wilson Phillips than the Sultan of Sideburns. Billy Joel's rendering of "Jailhouse Rock" sounds like Elvis on
valium. Which, according to your viewpoint, could be an accurate impersonation. The biggest disapointment is U2's Bono doing "Can't Help Falling In Love." With snippets from Presley's press conferences in the background, it sounds more like side
two of the Beatles' "White Album" than aything else. Sounds like Bono's paying tribute to the wrong rock icon. If I sound bitter, I wonder how 72 Top feels. "Viva Las Vegas" is not on the soundtrack! What a hunk a hunk a crap.

The University of Central Oklahoma's Biology Club recently met and discussed a field meeting sponsored by the Oklahoma Academy of Sciences, a camping trip in New Mexico over fall break and the First Annual Howell Hall Halloween party. The Oklahoma Academy of Sciences will hold a field meeting Sept. 25 and 26. It will take place at Greenleaf park, which is approximately 25 miles southwest of Tahlequah. A lecture on hazardous waste will be given Saturday at 7 p.m. The trip will be overnight, so camping equipment is necessary. A limited number of bunkhouses are also available, but Dr. Clark Ovrebo, UCO assistant professor of biology, suggests that anyone wanting to stay in a bunkhouse should register early. A UCO van will be taking students to the event. The van will leave at 2 p.m. on Sept. 25 and return the next day. Costs are $6 for students who register in advance, and $8 for students who pay "on-site." Guests must pay $8 if they register in advance, or $10 upon arrival. Those interested should contact Jennifer Shackleford, Biology Club president. The camping trip in New Mexico will take place over Fall Break. The last day to register for the trip is Sept. 18. The group will leave Oct. 17 at 7 a.m., and will return late Tuesday. Those attending should be prepared for sub-freezing temperatures at night. For more information, contact Shackleford, or see the sign-up sheet in Howell Hall. Also discussed was the First Annual Howell Hall Halloween Party. The party will be held Oct. 31, from 7 p.m. to midnight at the American Legion Hall at 101 E. 5th St. in Edmond. There is no charge to attend the party, but the Biology Club requests notice of intent. There will be prizes for best costume. A signup sheet is posted in Howell Hall for those wishing to attend.

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
C
an't afford to save for retirement? The truth is, you can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 3o years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 30 and you can accumulate over $192,539* by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $227 each month to reach the same goal.
Even if you're not counting the years to retirement, you can count on TIAA CREF to help you build the future you deserve— with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years. Over a million people in education and research put TIAA CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning. Why not join them? Call today and learn how simple it is to build a secure tomorrow when you have time and TIAA CREF working on your side. -

Boyhood memory brings profit Baseball cards used to be bike motors, now they're worth money changing. Take the Mark McGwire rookie card for example. In just one month it jumped from 22 spot on the hot prospect list to two. That means it went from $14 to $26 in that short time," said Cole looking over the stats. The grin doesn't last long as Cole shifts gears and talks about the future of baseball card collecting or any other type of card collecting. He tells how just two years ago kids were about the only ones who collected baseball cards. "When we were kids cards cost a nickel a pack. Just two or three years ago they were only 50 cents a pack, now they cost between a $1.50 and $3 a pack. At these prices soon only adults will be able to collect them," said Cole, as if talking about some species of animal soon to become extinct. "The big companies are pricing themselves out of business, they're killing the horse who got them there, they've stopped marketing to the kids." "Don't invest in it unless you can afford it, and then be ready to sit on them for at least five years. Because in the long run that's where the money's at," he advised. And so for the time being Cole buys up new cards and sets them back unopened, letting them increase in value, while selling off the old stuff.

A 2 x 3 piece of paper with a picture of a forgotten baseball player on it, the piece of paper distributed without the player's consent in tobacco cans. That piece of paper, a Hornus Wagnor, is now worth a half a million dollars. Like most kids, Brad Cole used his baseball cards as a motor for his bike. The cards hooked with old wooden clothes pins to spokes of the fast moving bike, rat-a-tat-tat. This memory and the thought of baseball cards like most childhood memories were soon filed away in some forgotten place. And then in 1987 Brad bought a set of baseball cards for his two boys, the memories flooded back and he found himself enjoying the cards. That set never made it under the Christmas tree. Brad was hooked. He has spent the last five years building up his collection. And what a collection, he has box upon unopened box stacked in his bedroom, a stack that builds a solid wall five feet long by some five feet tall. There is bookshelf after bookshelf of 3ring binders full of the best of his collection. The kitchen cabinet above the broom closet is also jammed with boxes of cards. "I have over a half a million cards now, an investment of at least $50,000. The longer you sit on them the higher their value goes. For example, a pack of 1987 Donruss unopened originally sold for 50 cents, now they're worth $5. A pack of unopened Fleers also sold for 50 cents a pack, now they sell for $10, that's 20 times their original price. That's why I haven't
started selling until this year," said Cole, sitting there in coaches shorts and a short sleeve shirt, dragging on a cigarette. "One of those, my most expensive single, is worth $410. It's a 1966 Mickey Mantle," he continues with a touch of pride in his voice. Because of his respectable collection Brad is now considered a dealer. He regularly makes the card show circuit
where he sells and trades with other serious collectors. The entry fees for these shows can be steep, as much as $225, but with an average profit of $250 to $800 a sow, Brad doesn't consider it a bad investment. But to make sure this investment pays off he uses several trade tricks. One is to use traders magazines to determine good selling cards. "The market is constantly

Schools must furnish crime stats (AP)—Dana Getzinger says she was naive and unsuspecting — a typical college student — when a stranger in a ski mask sneaked into her room and tried to rape her while she was a sophomore at the University of Georgia. More than 4,000 violent crimes — among them 16 murders and 493 rapes — were reported last year to security officials at the nations's 580 largest universities and colleges, The Associated Press found through a review of figures being released this month under a new federal disclosure law. The federal Campus Security Act for the first time this year requires all universities and colleges to provide students, faculty, staff and prospective students and their parents with crime statistics for the previous three years, as well as a description of security procedures. The law covers 2,222 colleges and universities. Schools that don't comply risk losing federal money. Many public institutions previously released such information, but most private institutions kept it confidential. "Part of their sales pitch was 'Come to this idyllic, safeappearing campus,'" said
Dorothy Siegel, director of the Campus Violence Prevention Center at Towson State
University in Maryland. The schools surveyed by the AP enroll 5.6 million students.
Collectively, they reported 2,528 robberies, 5,081 car thefts and aggravated assaults, 928 15,313 burglaries during 1991.
Campus Crime • Sept. 7 - Grand larceny - Between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Several articles of clothes were reportedly taken from a dryer in an East Hall laundry room. ■ Sept. 9 - Drug violation - Party reported the smell of a burning substance coming from a room in East Hall. No substance was found. A non-injury accident was reported, four vehicles were involved. ■ Sept. 10 - Larceny - Reporting party stated that between 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 4, an unknown person took a plant from Howell Hall. ■ Sept. 11 - Hit and Run - Victim reported that between 8:40 and 10:15 a.m. his vehicle was struck while parked in the unrestricted parking lot west of the fieldhouse. Theft of vehicle of part - Victim reported that the hood ornament was taken from her vehicle while it was parked in the S-14 lot. Threatning phone call - Victim reported that an unknown person, believed to be male, had called and threatend her. Larceny - Victim stated that between August 23 and 26 an unknown person took his checkbook from his room in East Hall. Arrest - Bryan Joseph Jones of 25 W. Campbell was arrested on a complaint of public intoxication and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. Jones was arrested at approximately 7:08 p.m. He was transported to county jail. • Sept. 12 - Vandalism - A window was broken out of two vehicles parked in the C-1 west lot. The incident happened between 12 and 1:28 a.m. The department responded to one false intrusion alarm.

Why they're fighting in Bosnia By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer
It has been called another
Civil War; another battle between neighbors. The political, ethnic and religious problems in the former Yugoslavia have turned an entire nation into a battlefield and the citizens into soldiers. United Nations information shows over 12,000 people have died and tens of thousands are missing or wounded. The silent battle began in 1980 when Communist Marshall Tito died. He had ruled over Yugoslavia as a Serbian. After his death, areas within the country began talks to make themselves independent from Yugoslavia and mostly communist rule, said Dr. Louis Furmanski, University of Central Oklahoma political science professor. In 1989 and 1990, with the end of the Cold War and the chipping away of communism, the battle of the states began. The war was finally recognized in 1991. "With the Cold War, the political system became unstable in Yugoslavia, the Yugoslavian people wanted to practice their own ethnic beliefs," he said. "Ethnic means the person's identity; the way they believe and live."
Croatia was the first state to go to war for its independence. "At first, Croatia and Serbia were fighting. Now, it's Serbia and Bosnia," he said. During the next year, the war had spread into all of the states with emphasis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Citizens in the Yugoslavian states began to flee the country to find refuge in surrounding countries such as Romania, Austria, Hungary and Italy. A poll in Time Magazine shows about 1.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes in the warring areas. "The problem is so complicated because the fighting is everywhere. It is not confined to one or two areas. If it was, it would be easier to solve," he said. "In the beginning, President (George) Bush said since it was a European problem, let them handle it first. When Europe was unable to devise a successful plan, the U.S. stepped in to help," he said. As the fighting intensified, an international conference was set for the last week in August to try to bring the two powers together and settle on an agreement, but ended unsuccessfully. "The U.S. participated in the conference. After the conference
Furmanski said the main reason for war in Yugoslavia is the ethnic differences within the country. "The battle is a battle of ethnicity. People in our country probably wouldn't understand this because we are a melting pot," said Furmanski. "This war deals with religion, ethics and politics, and these people will die for it." During the beginning of the recent Yugoslavian War, the states within the country began to declare its independence. The country evolved into six states: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. Today, only the three states, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are internationally recognized as independent. After the war began, Serbia wanted the states to remain under Serbian rule because they had control for many years. "Serbia wanted to assert their authority. This is a big problem because of the ethnic identity being so strong in these states," said Furmanski. "This is the root of the fighting." "Religion also plays a large role. The Christians and the Muslims are fighting each other to the end," he said.

was over, nothing changed; the fighting carried on," he said. "The U.S. and U.N. have enforced an economic and arms boycott." Several problems have surfaced because of the fighting such as low food supplies, lack of medical attention and homelessness. The Red Cross has set up stations to assist in these areas.
Now, the U.S. and U.N. must sit back and watch to make sure the fighting doesn't spread to other surrounding countries, he said. "Don't get me wrong, our country is trying to help. But there is only so much they can do," said Furmanski. "They hope the boycott will slow it down and eventually stop it. If not, they'll take it from there."

300 dead from fuel tank fires WASHINGTON (AP) - About 300 people have died in side-impact crashes from fuel tank fires or explosions in General Motors pickup trucks, 10 times more than caused by the Ford Pinto, an auto safety group says. The Center for Auto Safety said Monday that "sidesaddle" tanks mounted outside the frame rails of 1973-87 Chevrolet and GMC C-K series full-sized pickups make them vulnerable in crashes from the side. There are an estimated 5 million such trucks on the road. A GM spokesman said Monday the company stood by its position that the vehicles were safe. As with all trucks, the GM models passed side-impact and other crash tests conducted by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration before being sold.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - A taxi driver who was robbed at knife-point told police the thief took all his money, then gave $5 back. Steven P. Simmons, 36, told police a passenger pulled a knife when they arrived at their destination Sunday and demanded all his money, according to a Huntington Police Department report. Simon gave the thief $85, saying it was all he had. The robber handed him $5 back and fled on foot, the report said.

The Dallas data processing billionaire who flirted with making an independent run for the White House offered his assessment in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." I don't want to be negative, I do want to be constructive," Perot said. "They need to come down with hard plans that people will buy."

WASHINGTON (AP)Business executive Ross Perot Tuesday said the economic strategies offered by both presidential candidates are not specific enough and urged them to present "hard plans the people will buy."

SAN JOSE PACHO, Guatemala (AP) - Investigators chipped and scraped at the soil. Skeletons wrapped in dirtcaked rags began to emerge. Some of the 50 Quiche Indians huddled over the pit began to wail, having identified relatives by what they wore on that day a decade ago, when they were taken away and slain. Clyde Snow, a 64-year-old forensic anthropologist from Norman, Okla., was in charge of the dig. He hopes the bones will hold enough evidence to prosecute members of the security forces and others who slaughtered up to 50,000 Guatemalans, mostly highland Indian s, and dumped the bodies in common graves. "Bones don't forget," Show said. "This tells the story of what happened in Guatemala in those years. The revisionists are not going to come along and say these things never happened."

WASHINGTON (AP) - A House committee says colleges are charging more and giving students less. Among the key findings of the report: -Tuition and fees rose by 141 percent at public four-year colleges and universities from 1980 to 1990, and by 12 percent for the 1991-92 school year. -The teaching load of professors has dropped from the traditional 15 hours per semester to as low as six hours to allow more time for research. -Lecture classes are becoming larger. Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo., chairwoman of the panel said it is increasingly becoming the norm for undergraduates to be taught by teaching assistants, not professors, in extraordinarily large classes.
