U.N. demilitarizes
east Bosnian town
The Bosnian Serb and Muslim
commanding generals Saturday
night signed a United Nationsbrokered
accord to demilitarize"
the war-battered eastern Bosnian
town of Srebrenica.
The U.N. Security Council
voted late Saturday to tighten
sanctions against Serb-led
Yugoslavia.
The new sanctions take effect
April 26. The resolution passed
13-0, with Russia and China
abstaining.
Russia had warned the Serbs
Saturday if there was no breakthrough
in peace talks, the
Kremlin would not veto tougher
U.N. sanctions to punish Serb
aggression.
The cease-fire came after a
day of pitched Serb attacks on
the outskirts of the Muslim-held
"lost city."
While Serb armor and infantry
forces fought to within a half
mile to a mile of Srebrinca's center,
other Serbs blocked a convoy
of 130 to 150 U.N. peacekeepers
from Canada.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
? A man carrying grenades and
an assault rifle and yelling "What
an adventure!" shot up a bar, a
restaurant, businesses and cars,
killing two people and woundinn
five.
After nearly half an hour of
gunfire, the man was shot by
police. He remained hospitalized
Sunday.
The man, identified by police
as Gene Baylis, 42, of Peyton,
Colo., was apparently looking for
someone he'd had an argument
with when he entered Jim & I's
Star Bar late Saturday, said
police Lt. Rich Resling. He
described the tavern as a motorcyclists'
hangout.
Baylis was wearing a bullet

hand grenades attached and carried
an AK-47 assault rifle,
Resling said. Police did not
immediately know if the
grenades were real.

SCMA to oppose
gays in military
CHARLESTON ? Doctors will
be asked to oppose lifting the
ban on homosexuals in the military
during (his week's annual
meeting of the South Carolina
Medical Association.
A resolution for the meeting
suggests die number of HIV cases
in die military would increase
"by quantum leaps" if the ban
were lifted.
It also says person-to-person
blood transfusions must sometimes
be performed on the battle
field with no time for HIV
screening. The fear of the spread
of disease would be demoralizing
for the military, it says.
HIV is the virus that causes
acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
or AIDS.
The resolution must be
reviewed by a committee of the
association's governing body, the
House of Delegates, then
approved by die house to be formally
adopted by the association.

coming to America lose their language

Through the organization, he
hopes that students, with the help
of adult volunteers, will be taught
these things.

which the Vietnamese also recognize,
are being considered.
