Although a large-scale military
campaign has been ruled out, the
Clinton administration seems to be
nudging toward a
Bosnia policy
considerably
tougher than that
of the Bush
administration.
Clinton, who
promised during
the campaign to
take a more
“active” role in the Balkans,
indicated last week that he was not
about to put the Balkan quandary in
his back pocket.
International negotiators Cyrus
Vance of the United Nations and
Lord David Owen of the European
Community, both of whom had put
Clinton under the gun to accept
their highly controversial peace
plan, finally obtained good news
last Thursday.
Clinton agreed to engage
“actively and directly” in the
Vance-Owen talks and commit U.S.
military forces to secure and
enforce any agreement reached in
the negotiations.
The Vance-Owen peace prop'll
calls for dividing Bosnia and
Herzegovina into 10 aulonon
multi-ethnic provinces.
Under the plan, U.N. om
would be posted at designat
border points, Owen said last
John Bolton, a foreign affairs
fellow at the Manhattan Institute,
noted last week that the Clinton
administration had a somewhat
unrealistic approach to the Balkan
War during the campaign. In a A
telecast forum, Bolton urged the
Clinton administration to take a
serious look at the peace proposal,
arguing that such a move could not
make the situation any worse than it
already was.
Many analysts say that was
president, Ozal said he expected a
stronger approach from the Clinton
administration than from its
predecessor.
Aside from saying the meeting
with Turkey’s leader went well,
Clinton has not elaborated on what
he thought of Ozal’s proposals. But
it is clear that outside pressure from
European leaders like Ozal contrib
uted to Clinton’s agreement to
accept the peace plan.
precisely Clinton’s reasoning
behind accepting the peace pro
posal.
Pressure is being applied by
President Turgut Ozal of Turkey.
Ozal, who recently became the
second head of state to meet with
Clinton as president, called for
enforcement of the no-fly zone over
Bosnia and Allied strikes on
Serbian gunnery locations to break
the siege of Bosnian Muslims in
Sarajevo.
After meeting with the new U.S.
U.S. officials staled last week
that they intended to work closely
with Russia, which favored the
Vance-Owen plan but has tight
connections with the Serbs, in the
peace process.
But there is still some degree of
fog lingering over the Vance-Owen
plan.
Bosnian Croats have accepted
the plan since its blueprint stages,
but Bosnian Serbs have completely
rejected it Also, officials represent- i
ing Muslims in Bosnia have refused j
o discuss the peace plan because
hey are calling for negotiations on
t new constitution and a cease-fire.
This lack of consensus, Clinton
ifficials argue, could put a dent in
he plan down the road. They are
loping that all the warring factions
vill concede and accept the plan,
hough that currently seems
inlikely.
Defense Secretary Les Aspin
ecently presented two other options
o NATO allies that U.S. officials
>elieve will help the situation.
Aspin said the United States
vould like to bolster humanitarian
efforts and tighten economic
sanctions on the truncated Yugoslav
ederation. These suggestions were
ssued on the basis that U.N. and
VATO officials also would accept
hem.
A visit to New York — the
location of U.N. headquarters — by
Serbian President Slobodan
Milosevic is a distinct possibility in
the upcoming weeks. U.N. officials
say this could increase pressure on
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic, forcing him to accept the
new Bosnian map.
Should the breakup of Bosnia
into 10 smaller pieces work, the
United Nations anticipates the need
for at least 15,000 to 25,000 troops
to effectively secure the region.
This is only a rough estimate,
U.N. Secretary General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali said last week; and it
;annot be set in stone until the
actual breakup occurs peacefully.

ASUN would finish collecting its.
petition, which has no legal bearing
on the committee’s decision, Cheryl
Mrsny, petition organizer, said.
Mrsny said the petition still would
be submitted to the Commencement
Committee. The issue also will re
main on the March ASUN election
ballot as approved at a Feb. 3 ASUN
meeting.
ASUN would not take any further
action until it secs the results of stu
dent voting on March 12, Sigerson
said.
Keown said the Commencement
Committee also was looking at other
ways to involve students in gradua
tion ceremonies.
At the committee meeting, he said,
a suggestion was made that a student
be allowed to greet the audience for
30 to 40 seconds at each graduation.
Under this proposal, the different
colleges would each send a represen
tative on a rotational basis, he said.

GFA approves fee increase
The Committee for Fees Allo

The commit

$1,642,183 for
Campus

get
The $245,470earmarked for the
repair and improvement of facili
ties represents a $1 increase in stu
dent fees allocated to that budget.
Committee members agreed that
such a large increase was neces
sary to bring the budget up to an
inflation-adjusted level equivalent
to its budget in 1967.
Stan Campbell,.director of cam
pus recreation, said that equal in
creases in the next few years also
would be necessary in order to
reach that amount of funding.
Without increasing the facili
ties budget soon, natural deteriora
tion would bring a need for the
replacement of some facilities in
stead of just maintenance,
Campbell said. /
CFA chairman Shane Tucker**
said the decision was a matter of
paying a little more now or a lot
more in the future.
Director declines job offer
Michael Muinix, executive di
rector of university relations at
UNL, announced last week that he
has declined a job offer at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Muinix, who has been with the
University of Nebraska-Uncoln for
four years, was offered the position
as Wisconsin’s chief public rela
tions officer and lobbyist.
In a press release, Mulnix said
the reasons he decided to stay were
his working relationship with Chan
cellor Graham Spanier and others,
and UNL’s progress toward a dual
career program. Such programs
help find employment opportuni
ties for university spouses.
Options growing for interns
By Joel Strauch

The number of internship opportu
nities for university students in the
College of Agricultural Sciences and
Natural Resources has increased from
previous years, officials said.
These summer internships give stu
dents relevant work experience and
make them more marketable after
gaduation, said Cindy Cammack,
AS NR recruitment and placement
coordinator.
The increases resulted from
CAS NR, a satellite office of the Uni
versity of Nebraskg-Lincoln Student
Employment andinlemship Center,
working closely with Career Services
the last two years, Cammack said.
SNR also has taken over the
sibilities for interning from in
dividual areas of study, such as
agronomics, which saves a lot of fac
ulty time, she said.
Many companies that hadn’t ap
proached UNL for student internships
are now beginn ing to, Cammack said.
The number of company represent*
lives coining to campus to interview
students has increased by 10 to 15
compared with previous years, she
said.
“There are new players in the
game," Cammack said. “It’s a result
of our doing a better job of marketing
our graduates.”
Susan Voss, an assistant in the
CASNR placement office, said that
larger corporations are interested in
juniors and seniors, but smaller corn*
panics are often willing to take fresh
men for internships.
' Internships are a chance for the
employer and employee to become
better acquainted,” said Dick Fleming,
the news editor for the Institute of
Agriculture and Natural Resources.
“It gives the students a chance to
get a feel for the job and see if they like
tt or not,” he said.
Internships can provide valuable
career experience, Cammack said, as
well as sometimes lead to further
company opportunities.
She said she hoped that students
will explore as many options for in
