DON'T FORGET TO PRE-ORDER YOUR TEXTBOOKS FOR SUMMER AND FALL 1994 Only at the top of Naismith Hill Serbs, Muslims step up fighting U. N. peacekeepers being drawn into war The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — In the absence of meaningful moves toward a peace settlement, skirmishes are multiplying across Bosnia and U.N. peacekeepers are being challenged more often, sometimes with deadly results. Stepped up shelling and firefights were reported yesterday between Bosnian Serbs and the Muslim-led government — from Brocke to the far north, where forces are reportedly massing along the Serbs' crucial east-west corridor, to the western Muslim-held pocket of Bihac. At the same time, U.N. peacekeepers are increasingly being drawn into combat with Bosnian Serb forces. Over the weekend, Danish tanks in the northeastern town of Tuzla fired 72 rounds after coming under antitank, mortar and artillery fire. And British troops patrolling the Gorazde enclave got into a firefight, killing at least one Serb. Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic claimed yesterday that the Danes killed nine Serb civilians and renewed accusations that U.N. forces have cast aside impartiality and are backing the Muslim-led government. Karadzic said that he regretted that, more and more often, the U.N. forces were being used as a means to start more fighting in Bosnia. Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose repeated that assertion yesterday after meeting in Denmark with Nordic defense chiefs. "We are not there to be in conflict with anybody, but we do have the right to self defense. In order to preserve life, we will return fire." Rose said. He said the Danes used a minimum of force needed to defend themselves during a four-hour attack. Karadzic was also quoted yesterday as saying he thought it possible "that some 'hawks' will push America into a new Vietnam in Bosnia." The United States has refused to dispatch ground troops to Bosnia, saying it wants a comprehensive peace settlement first. NATO threats of air strikes forced Serb besiegers of Sarajevo and Gorazde to grudgingly surrender heavy weapons to U.N. protection or pull them back 12.4 miles from the city centers. Rejection letters compete for title In two air strikes last month, U.N. fighter jets under NATO's wing bombed Serb positions around the U.N.-declared "safe area" of Gorazde at the request of U.N. commanders on the ground. NATO also demanded that Serbs pull their troops at least 1.9 miles from the center of Gorazde, U.N. military spokesman said Monday that Serbs have about 100 soldiers "reclassified" as police within the zone. The Associated Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Business student Scott Caudill received a rejection letter from a computer manufacturer that really stung. It thanked him for an interview he never had. But it wasn't a big enough gaffe to win the second-annual "Ugly Rejection Letter Contest." A panel of judges sorted through the "don't-call-me" mail. The contest, which ran throughout the spring, received letters with grammatical errors, misspellings, gender confusion and nonsense. "The idea of the whole thing is to say, 'You're not alone.'" Maguire said. That dubious honor went to a letter received by senior Tom Maguire from a financial services firm. The letter said he wouldn't be hired, but "We hope you will consider referring others to us as applicants for employment or as clients." The University of Virginia's Mcitte School of Commerce's contest helps ease the tension that is particular to this time of year. Israeli, Palestinian officials to sign self-rule agreement The Associated Press CAIRO, Egypt — The PLO's chief negotiator said yesterday that an accord on Palestinian self-rule was almost complete and that Palestinians were "geared up at top speed" to take control of the Gaza Strip and Jericho. Negotiator Nabil Shaah spoke to reporters after Israel's chief delegate left to brief Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Egypt began announcing plans for the signing ceremony tomorrow. Addressing Israeli concerns that Palestinians were not ready to take over, Shaath said PLO officials would go into the territories today to coordinate with Israeli officers and 1,000 Palestinian police would be ready to deploy on Thursday. tation of this agreement immediately after the signing on Wednesday," Shaah told reporters. "I feel that everything is geared up at top speed toward the implement." Saying yesterday's talks went smoothly, Shaah added: "I feel more confident that we are at the gate of a major achievement for our people and all the people in this part of the world." It has taken more than six months for Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to draw up the agreement implementing self-rule in Gaza and Jericho on the West Bank. The agreement will end nearly 27 years of Israeli occupation in Gaza and Jericho. According to the agreement Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization signed Sept. 13 in Washington, the two sides are to begin negotiating a final peace agreement that will decide the future of the rest of the West Bank.
