Help Wanted
Three ways to beat
the high cost of college.
1. The Montgomery Gl Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time income
The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for
college.
First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to
$6,920 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training.
Second, if you have - or obtain - a qualified student loan not in default,
you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater,
up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here’s how it works:
One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill
training at an Army school. You’ll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for
skill training. Then you’ll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit
near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You’ll
be paid over $105 a weekend to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give us a call:

□ 2,500 people are still unaccounted for after
one of the country's largest natural disasters.
MOSCOW (AP) — About 2,500 people remained trapped under
the debris of wrecked buildings and many were feared dead Sun
day after an earthquake flattened a town on an island in Russia’s
Far East.
Rescue workers reported hearing moans from under the rubble in
the town of Neftegorsk, which
bore the brunt of the 7.5-magni
tude quake that belted Sakhalin
Island early Sunday while most
residents slept.
Officials said 70 people were
confirmed killed and more than
200 were injured in one of Russi
a’s strongest quakes ever. The ca
sualty toll was expected to rise as
rescue teams combed the remote
Pacific island site.
By early Monday, rescuers had
recovered 39 bodies from Nefte
gorsk and taken 144 people to the
hospital, according to Russia’s Min
istry for Emergency Situations.
Eleonora Budrina, a Moscow-
based spokeswoman for the min
istry, said 2,500 people were un
accounted for in the town and
many were feared dead or injured.
The quake, which struck the
large Pacific island at 1:03 a.m.
Sunday local time, was centered
just offshore near its thinly popu
lated northern tip.
Neftegorsk, population 3,500
and located 40 miles northwest of
the epicenter, was destroyed. Oth
er villages were damaged.
Raisa Mikhailova, municipal spokeswoman for the regional center
of Okha, said 13 five-story houses made of prefabricated blocks col
lapsed in Neftegorsk, burying about 3,000 people. Hundreds of those
buried were later saved, she said by telephone.
She said 224 injured people, including 42 children, had been
brought from Neftegorsk to hospitals in Okha and Khabarovsk.
“The dead are being collected on the site in Neftegorsk. We don’t
know the exact number,” Mikhailova said.
Moans from under the rubble were audible throughout the town,
according to an unidentified ministry spokesman quoted by the In
terfax news agency.
Sakhalin’s deputy governor, Vitaly Gomilevsky, said at least 70
people were killed, Interfax reported.
In Okha, a town of 35,000 people located 55 miles north of Nefe
gorsk, balconies fell from two five-story buildings and many house
sustained cracked walls and broken furniture. Aftershocks rocke:
the region throughout the day Sunday.
The initial quake also ruptured an oil pipeline running north frot
Neftegorsk — which translates as “oil town” — and destroyedc:
wells, spilling an unknown amount.
A special plane left Moscow on Sunday with a rescue team an:
equipment aboard. Camps were set up for those evacuated from tit
quake area and teams of medic
and rescue workers were sentt
the area, according to the ITAi
Tass news agency.
Russian news reports sak
more than 200 rescue workers,si;
helicopters and more than 10air
planes participated in the rescu
effort, with more teams preparir;
to go to the area.
Rescue work reportedly wai
hindered by heavy fog.
Sakhalin Island, some 4,00
miles and eight time zones east:
Moscow, is rich in natural re
sources — oil, gas, coal, timbe:
and fish. Home to 750,000 peopi:
it was closed to foreigners!):
decades because of its sensith-
military bases.
Soviet authorities waryofpoi
sible spying ordered a fighterj-
to shoot down Korean Air Lin:
Flight 007 when it strayed ov?
the region on Sept. 1, 1983. A
269 people aboard, including!
Americans, were killed. The
fell into the Sea of Okhotsk off!
island’s southwestern coast.
A quake measuring magni:.
7 or greater is capable of w
spread, heavy damage.
Two other major tremors have shaken the region in the pr
eight months.
On Oct. 4, an 8.2 quake struck Russia’s disputed Kuril Isk
about 600 miles southeast of Sunday’s epicenter, killing at le:
10 people.
On Jan. 17, a 7.2 quake demolished Kobe, Japan, to the sou
killing 5,500 people.
Japan offered Sunday to send aid to the Sakhalin quake victim:
Russian President Boris Yeltsin conveyed his condolences totfc
affected by the earthquake, saying he was greatly saddened by
news and promising to take all possible measures to help.

□ Serbs take more U.N.
peacekeepers in light
of escalating global
condemnation.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze-
govina (AP) — Bosnia’s foreign
minister and three colleagues
were killed Sunday when their
helicopter was shot down over
Serb-held positions in a trou
bled northwestern pocket.
Rebel Serbs, facing escalating
global condemnation, seized
more U.N. peacekeepers.
The Bosnian government
blamed Serbs for firing the mis
sile that downed the chopper.
The United Nations said only
that the craft was hit over posi
tions held by Croatian Serbs.
Serbs, confident U.N. hostages
would shield them from a repeat
of last week’s NATO air raids on
ammunition dumps, seized 33
more peacekeepers, all British,
near Gorazde in eastern Bosnia.
The Serbs already have more
than 200 mostly French peace
keepers surrounded near Saraje
vo and hold 30 U.N. monitors,
some of them chained to poten
tial NATO targets.
As the Serbs upped the
stakes, frustrated U.N. officials
demanded their masters in the
world’s capitals tell them what
to do: stand tough or back
away in the most humiliating
retreat of the United Nations’
50-year history.
“We hope that we will get
some guidance and backing,”
said U.N. spokesman Alexander
Ivanko. “A lot of thought will
have to go into our next step.

Bosnian Foreign Minister Ir

Muslim, died when his helicopter
was shot down as it flew over
Croatian Serb positions near the

Bosnia’s Zagreb embassy, an

In Sarajevo, a standoffbe
tween Serbs and French peace
keepers ended when the Serb:
withdrew overnight for reason:

Four Serbs captured by the
French during the standoff re
mained in U.N. hands. Serb com
mander Gen. Ratko Mladic told
the United Nations that detained
peacekeepers would be treated
better if the Serbs were freed by
noon Friday, a U.N. source said.
Across Europe, Western lead
ers held various crisis meetings
on the next step. No decisions
were expected at least until
NATO foreign ministers meet
Tuesday in the Netherlands.

a Stabbing spree occurs at
end of academic school year.
CAMBRIDGE, Maes. (AP) — A Harvard
University pre-med student went on a stab
bing spree in a dormitory Sunday morning,
killing one of her roommates and wounding
a visitor.
The woman then hanged herself and lat
er died in a hospital, the Middlesex district
attorney’s office said.
Many students emerged in tears, and
most refused to talk about the incident in
the Dunster House dorm.
Sunday was the day for underclassmen
to move out of the dorms and many parents,
who had arrived to help with the move, anx
iously waited outside.
The attacker was identified as Tadesse
Sinedu, 20, of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Friends said Sinedu had seemed anxious
and unhappy as the academic year came to
a close.
Final exams ended Saturday. Graduation
is June 8.
“I saw her last week, and she seemed
quite frustrated in the library Studying and
sort of had a glazed look on her face,” said a
fellow pre-med student who spoke on condi
tion his name not be used.
First Assistant District Attorney Martin
Murphy said Sinedu shared one room of
their two-room suite on the building’s sec
ond floor with 20-year-old Trang Ho, a
Vietnamese native. Both were juniors.
Thao Nguyen, 26, was visiting Ho and
sleeping in the other room when she was
awakened by sounds of a struggle, Murphy
said. He said she saV Sinedu stabbing Ho.
Murphy said Nguyen tried to intervene
and was stabbed herself, so she ran to the
courtyard for help.
Ho was pronounced dead at Cambridge
Hospital. Nguyen was treated and released
at the hospital for superficial stab wounds.
Murphy said Sinedu ran into the bath
room in the suite, barricaded the door and
hanged herself.
Authorities declined to speculate about
a motive, though they said there were no
signs of problems between the roommates.
“I just can’t believe a student could do
anything like this,” said Aaron Zelman, a 22-
year-old senior who lives in Dunster House.
Zelman of Rye, N.Y., said screams and
shouting had shattered the quiet about 8 a.xn.
Students said Harvard University and
Cambridge police burst into their rooms
with guns drawn looking for Sinedu.
About 300 students live in the dorm)
where another student committed suicide
earlier this spring.
“It’s not even real to me,” said Nathan
Edwards, 18, who was visiting on that fa
tal night.
"It’s very difficult to fathom that while I
was in there, crashing on a couch, this was
going on outside.”
Ingrid Bassett, a senior who lives in
Dunster House, said she was awakened by
a phone call from a friend elsewhere in the
building who heard about the stabbing and
called to tell her to lock her door. ill
