KAPLAN RULES
NAPLES, Italy (AP) — In un
precedented partnership, Russia
joined Western nations Sunday
in demanding a settlement of the
war in Bosnia and an end to
North Korea’s secrecy about its
nuclear program.
In return, Boris Yeltsin insist
ed Russia “be accepted and recog
nized as equal.”
The Russian president, his
voice rising to a shout, demanded
that Western countries lift Cold
War-era trade restrictions on his
troubled country.
Yeltsin, for the first time,
joined exclusive political talks
with the leaders of the world’s
largest industrialized democra
cies — the United States, Japan,
Germany, Canada, Britain,
France and Italy — at the end of
their 20th annual economic sum
mit in Naples.
It was an extraordinary turn
ing point, bringing once-bitter
enemies to a show of solidarity
on issues that would have divid
ed them in the past.
“Nyet,” Yeltsin thundered at

Territorial plans in a proposed
international peace package provide
more land for Muslim-held safe areas
in eastern Bosnia. Serbs stand to lose
large swathes of land in northwestern
and northern Bosnia, but most of
eastern Bosnia, which was mostly
Muslim before the war, would remain
in Serb hands.
AP/Tracie Tso
a post-summit
news conference with Clinton when asked if all
Russian troops would be withdrawn from Estonia
by Aug. 31, the deadline Clinton had urged.
Yeltsin complained that retired Russian officers
and others in Estonia were subject to “very crude
violations of human rights.” However, Yeltsin said
he had promised Clinton to meet with Estonian
President Lennart Meri to reach a settlement, and
the United States promised to help.
While granted a seat at the political talks,
Yeltsin did not win acceptance as a full participant
in economic discussions. Yeltsin acknowledged
that his faltering economy was not ready. “I’m not
rushing through the door like a Russian bear,” he
plainly said.
Yeltsin loudly demanded an end to discrimina
tory trade treatment by the West, saying Russia
has shunned its Communist past.
"We’re saying, ‘Give us equal rights,”’ said
Yeltsin, a one-time party member.
“I’ve taken that red, besmirched jacket off of
myself,” he said, referring to the Communist color.
“You understand what I’m talking about, right?”
Clinton agreed trade restrictions should be re
moved as long as there are curbs on the spread of
nuclear weapons.
Despite Russia’s religious and
ethnic ties with Bosnian Serbs,
Yeltsin showed no reluctance in
demanding that the warring par
ties in former Yugoslavia accept a
map dividing up the territory.
The leaders’ statement carried
an implicit threat that a United
Nations arms embargo against
the Muslim-led government
would be lifted if the Serbs reject
the plan drawn up July 6.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi said Yeltsin pounded
on the conference table, insisting
there must be a solution to the
27-month civil war.
“We are going to act,” Yeltsin
pledged. He said that if it is nec
essary at any time, he would in
tervene “personally, very deci
sively, (with) as much character
as we have in our bodies.”
The peace plan would give 51
percent of Bosnia to the Muslim-
Croat federation and 49 to the
Bosnian Serbs.
Bosnian government leaders
have agreed, and their parlia-
spermicidal jellies, di
aphragms, lUDs, Depo-
Provera injections and Nor
plant, Santos said.
She said 95 percent of their
clients are on oral contracep
tives.
A.P. Beutel Health Center
offers birth control pills for $5
a pack. Students who want to
use birth control through the
health center are required to
take a class on methods of con
traception.
Condoms are also sold over-
the-counter in the health cen
ter pharmacy.
The health center, Planned
Parenthood and the Crisis
Pregnancy Center provide free
pregnancy testing.
Paul said the largest group
that comes to the Crisis Preg
nancy Center for testing is the
20- to 24-year-old age group,
followed by 15- to 19-year-olds.
The Crisis Pregnancy Cen
ter tested 547 20- to 24-year-
olds in 1993, about 46 percent
of those were found to be preg
nant, she said.
Santos said there are three
options for pregnant women;
have a baby and keep it, put
the baby up for adoption or
have an abortion.
Dirks said Beutel does not
treat pregnant women, but rec
ommends them to local obste
tricians or ones in the patient’s
home town.
Santos said there are more
pregnant students at A&M
than most people realize.
“You may not see pregnant
students,” she said, “but they
are around.
“Many take a semester off
to have a baby and then return
to school,” she said. “Many
terminate their pregnancies.”

ment will meet to ratify the plan on July 18.
Bosnian Serbs have strongly criticized the parti
tion plan, but under pressure from their support
ers in Serbia proper say they will study it.
Summit leaders warned that “if the opportunity
is not seized, there is a grave risk of renewal of
war on a larger scale.”
On North Korea, the G-8 leaders called on the
Communist regime “to remove, once and for all,
the suspicions surrounding its nuclear activities.”
With a bare mention of the death of Kim II
Sung, the summit communique urged his successor
to permit full inspections of North Korea’s nuclear
program and to maintain a nuclear-program freeze
that Kim had initiated, “including no reprocessing
spent fuel or reloading its nuclear reactors.”
It also urged North Korea to continue talks
with the United States and to meet as scheduled
with South Korea in a historic summit later this
month. The talks in Geneva were suspended Sat
urday Prospects for restarting them have been
somwhat unclear.
In terms of economic aid, Yeltsin did not re
ceive anywhere near the $43 billion package he
got at last year’s summit in Tokyo. The seven
economic powers this time approved an estimated
$3.5 billion in new loans.

and sloughs that were all over
flowing.
Even in cities to the north
where rivers have crested, flood
ing was expected to linger for
days because of the many swollen
tributaries. Water was also
draining from Lake Blackshear,
north of Albany, where an earth
en dam was breached Saturday.
The Flint remained at 42 feet,
22 feet above flood stage, on
Sunday in Albany, about 50
miles north of Bainbridge. A
crest of 45 to 46 feet was expect
ed Sunday night.
In Albany, the Federal Emer
gency Management Agency con
sidered bringing in mobile
homes or tents and moving an
estimated 5,000 flood refugees
from about 15 makeshift shel
ters in schools and churches.
FEMA planned to open a disas
ter office in Albany on Monday.
“This is just pitiful, ain’t it?”
said Francis Suggs, as she
looked at the water covering her
front porch in Bainbridge.
In some of her neighbors’
homes, the water was already
washing through first-floor
windows.
Most homes had been emptied
of furniture, some trucked to
eastern Georgia towns or stored
in vacant buildings, such as an
old unused motel, in the town
square that is one of the city’s
highest points.
Jimmy Ward and his fiancee,
Dawn Harrison, trudged
through waist-deep water Sun
day in a last trip to salvage what
they could from his home — two
bags of Christmas decorations.
“It’s unreal,” said Ms. Harri
son. “It just keeps coming.”
Ward said he was finished re
moving his possessions, but
planned to return to watch the
flood’s assault on the home
where he has lived for 10 years.
“I want to be here when my
house does go,” Ward said.

“This will be an on-going

many people will not have to

The new area codes will have
a middle digit from two through
nine. Originally, in 1947, the
Bell system decided on area
codes with a middle digit of zero
or one. This only gives about
160 possibilities. m

“Implementation of the plan
falls on the local company,” he
said.
There are plans for Chicago,
Virginia, southern Alabama,
western Washington and Ari
zona to have new area codes
next year, he said.
“There is an interesting
wrinkle in all of this,” Branson
said. “Right now, most PBX
machines(switchboards) are
hardwired to only accept one or
some changes.
Currently, to make a long dis
tance call within the same area
code all that is needed is eight
digits (“1” or “0” + the telephone
number).
Bill Erwin, GTE public affairs
manager, said an 11-digit dial
ing pattern (“1” or “0” + area
code + number) will become
mandatory on January 3, 1995.
“People can begin using the
new dialing pattern on July 1,”
he said. “We encourage people
to use this transition period to
get into the habit of using this
new dialing pattern, because af
ter January 3, the calls will not
go through the old way.”
The transition period can also
be used to update speed dialing,
switchboards and other equip
ment, he said.
“We are not doing this to in
convenience anybody,” Erwin
said. “Actually, it would make
the transition easier later on
when the new are-* codes go
into effect.”
