SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnian Serb forces overran one U.N.-designat ed “safe area” packed with refugees and at tacked another, brushing off NATO air power and casting further doubt on the future of the floundering U.N. peacekeeping mission. An estimated 30,000 refugees who fled the eastern enclave of Srebrenica ahead of advanc ing Serb forces were huddled today along with the outnumbered peacekeeping contingent around a U.N. compound north of town. The compound had not even enough food for the 400 Dutch peacekeepers crowded inside, and officials warned a humanitarian catastrophe was brewing. “This is a crisis,” said Rida Ettarashany, a U.N. spokesman in Zagreb, Croatia. “There’s very little they can do.” Nine miles southwest of Srebrenica, the U.N. enclave of Zepa came under attack late Tuesday, with shelling reported overnight. About 90 Ukrainian peacekeepers are based there. U.N. spokesman Alexander Ivanko said the Serbs did not advance. The United Nations established the “safe ar eas,” including Sarajevo, in 1993 as enclaves where civilians were to be spared from attack. Preserving them has been the principal mission of the peacekeepers. The fall of Srebrenica on Tuesday marked the biggest failure of the U.N. mission in Bosnia in the 39-month war and prompted world leaders to question the future of the 23,000-member peacekeeping force. U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros- Ghali asked the Serbs to withdraw, but hedged on how far he would go to force them out. “We believe that in spite of the aggression, negotia tion for the time being is the only way to find a solution,” he said during a visit to Athens, Greece, today. As he spoke, Bosnian Serbs overran two more U.N. observation posts around Srebrenica, tak ing 12 more Dutch peacekeepers prisoner, a Dutch Defense Ministry spokesman said. The Serbs forced the United Nations to call off NATO warplanes Tuesday by threatening to kill the 30 peacekeepers they already held. Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic said Serb troops controlled the Srebrenica area, adding that civilians and peacekeepers were “completely safe and secure.” He rejected calls to withdraw, insisting: “Sre brenica is our country.” Both the rebel Serbs and the Muslim-led gov ernment are increasingly hostile to internation al insistence on a negotiated settlement. Clinton norm alii Vietnam relation □ The President calledi 'a time to heal.' WASHINGTON (AP)-| decades after the war that bite divided Americans and left58. U.S. servicemen dead, Presic Clinton normalized relations communist Vietnam Tuesday called it “a time to heal and a to build.” Clinton’s historic White H( announcement was boycotte: the American Legion, the nat: largest veterans group, and leading POW-MIA organizat They disputed Clinton’s argu: that Hanoi has made m: strides toward a full accountir; missing Americans. Key Republican leaders- eluding most contenders for presidential nomination-: opposed the decision. "Alls, point to Vietnam willfullyi holding information whichcJ resolve the fate of many At; cans lost in the war,” Senate jority Leader Bob Dole said. Clinton argued that Hanoi taken important steps to helpc solve many cases” of the more 2,200 Americans still listed asr ing from the Indochina war. BOOK: Library will analyze problems related to lost boo Continued from Page 1 person who checked out the book is sent a letter and has a week to return the book. A fee of $1 a day is assessed for every day past the one week deadline. Several students have en countered problems while trying to find books. Bo Andrews, a senior English major, said he often needs books that are checked out for an ex tended time period. “Other people are doing re search and need it too,” Andrews said, “so we just have to deal with it.” For books that have not been recalled, there is no current fine assessed for late return. Check-out policies for library patrons are as follows: •Undergraduates may check out books for a two-week period. •Graduate students have a one-month check out period. •Faculty mem bers may check out books for four months. Dr. William Stewart, associ ate professor of recreation, parks and tourism sci ences, said the extended check-out period for faculty members is needed. “When I am writing a paper, it is more than a one-month peri od,” Stewart said. “It can some times take up to two years, and I still need the reference material. But if a book is recalled, I have no problem bringing it back.” Nellie Sparkman, a clerk in the circulation department of the library, said any book can be recalled after the stu dent or faculty member who checked out the book has had it for two weeks. The library will also be exam ining the policy on the number of books a person can check out, Sparkman said. “When students have so many books out, they forget what they have,” she said. “We’ve k-. dents try and recall boob* they already have.” The library will be am.- problems related to lostk Joy Hayes, a seniorL major, said lost books an of a problem than books tl - checked out. “At least if a book istfe • out, I could get it,” Hayes • “A lot of books I havene. show up as lost.” The library is reviewing policies in relation to the lit; renovation.
