MOGADISHU, Somalia? Two U.S. soldiers were wounded in an ambush by gunmen today, bringing the number to seven Americans wounded in the past two days. Three Americans were wound ed in overnight mortar and rocket grenade attacks on U.N. bases, and two Americans were injured in a land mine explosion Wednesday, military officials said. Today's ambush occurred near Bali Dogle, about 50 miles west of Mogadishu, said officials at the main U.S. field hospital in the capital. A spokesman, who requested anonymity, told reporters the two soldiers underwent surgery, but gave no further details on their condition. Earlier, U.N. military spokesman Maj.

Participants also would be provided living allowances of at least $7,400 a year and healthcare and child day-care benefits. ed from page 1 they are in their 30s or until the are stricken with AIDS.

Another problem for their office is the lack of volunteers to pick up the contents of the bins, McKaysaid.

McKay said the office is looking for concerned students who are willing to help them extend their service. an McGuinness Graphics Editor Paul Jon Cartoonist Laura Day roductlon Manager Jim Green int Production Manager lannon Wadford roductlon Assistant Renee Gibson dvertlslng Manager Erik Collins Faculty Advisor arent organization of The Gamecock. forms, subscriptions, requests and othhould be sent to the address below. rhe Gamecock Student Media ersity of South Carolina 'olumbia, SC 29208 iVSROONJ'777-7726 'ERTISING 777-4249 IK!
