SARAJEVO. Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) ? Mediators
began a diplomatic blitz Tuesday in hopes of persuading
the Bosnian government to accept a peace
plan that could include a federation between Bosnia's
Serbs and Yugoslavia.
U.S., Russian, British, French and German mediators
from the so-called contact group met with
government leaders in hopes of salvaging a negotiated
end to the war, not an outright military victory
for Serbs.
Fighting around the U.N. protected town of Bihac
picked up Tuesday, with Mayor Hamdija Kabiljagic
saying shells were landing every six seconds
in the afternoon. UN. spokesman Maj. Herve Gourmelon
reported heavy machine-gun, shelling and smallarms
fire.
U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
was expected in Sarajevo on Wednesday to discuss
a possible cease-fire and an end to harassment of the
24,000 peacekeepers, 400 of whom are detained by
Bosnian Serbs as insurance against NATO air strikes.
Charles Thomas, the U.S. representative to the
contact group, said after meeting Bosnian Vice President
Ejup Ganic that there were no changes to a
i J u.. r> : c*~~i? 4.u:
peace pian rejecteu uy xjoamaii oei us una summer.
Thomas said the contact group would "stick with
the plan," which calls for Serbs to reduce their holdings
froiP 70 to 75 percent of Bosnia to 49 percent.
But U.N. spokesmen and senior officials of NATO
countries acknowledged they have almost no
leverage on the Bosnian Serbs since admitting that
the ultimate weapon in their arsenal, NATO air
strikes, was insufficient to stop a Serb assault on the
northwest Bihac pocket.

The Gamecock to publish four days a week
The Gamecock newspaper's publication schedule
will be changed from three to four days per week
during the spring semester, Gamecock Editor in
Chief Lee Clontz said.
Clontz, confirmed Monday for a second term as
editor, said he has been working toward the change
all semester.
"We had a lot of young staffers come aboard this
semester, so it wasn't feasible this fall," Clontz said.
"Now that everything is finally up to speed, I think
we're ready to commit to a more intensive production
schedule."
The Gamecock will be published on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays next semester.
The Monday paper was eliminated for both content
and staffing reasons, Clontz said, though other
options are being discussed for a Monday publication.
"Having a four-day paper is good for the school
and good for the staff," Clontz said. "I'm extremely
excited about whafs to come."
Clontz will be interviewing applicants until Dec.
5. Students interested in applying for editorial positions
should sign up for an interview time in RH
333.

In her moment of crowning glory, Danielle fl
Corley couldn't breathe.
When she was named the new Miss S.C. USA
during the pageant in Charleston Saturday night,
Corley said, "I began hyperventilating. I couldn't
believe it."
But with the Miss USA pageant in South
Padre Island, Texas, only three months away,
reality is beginning to set in for the 23-year-old
USC marketing and management senior.
On Tuesday, Corley was told by one of her
agents that she will be auditioning for a role in
the movie Charity League," starring Julia Roberts,
Robert Duvall and Dennis Quaid.
While her classmates will spend next week
cramming ior examinations, uoney win study
the movie script.
Filming in Beaufort begins in December, she
said.
Coriey also learned that she is the new SnapOn
Tools spokesperson.
Somewhere in her already-busy schedule s^e ^
Coriey will travel to trade conventions and car g
shows to endorse the tools. '
"Overwhelmed" is how she described herself
after winning the title and receiving the offers. Bi

Dr. Tanya Reid, director of the center,
organized the open house, which
will be held Thursday from 12 p.m.-1

Busters and the story of a foster parent
raising a child with HTV.
"In addition to the state-of-the-art
medical technology at the center, we
work with the patients and their families
to treat all of their individual nekls

The Children's Immunology Center
was created in 1991 through the school
I of medicine and operated on a part-time
basis. It became full-time with Reid's
appointment in 1993.
Reid is the only pediatric immunologist
in South Carolina and is a leading
figure in the fight against AIDS in her
work with HIV children and their famHies.
... There are 60 HTV cases in children
under 12 statewide, and we see the ma
jority of these patients," Reid said.
The goal is to promote comprehensive
health care for AIDS patients, and
that's one of the reasons for World AIDS
Day, especially this theme of AIDS and
its effect on the family," she said.
