Page 4 • The Battalion Wednesday • August 2, |i Croats, rebel Serbs agree to negotiate □ NATO ambassadors threatened airstrikes against Serb rebels if they continue to at tack U.N. 'safe areas.' KNIN, Croatia (AP) — Serb and Croatian forces warily agreed Tuesday to return to ne gotiations, while NATO expand ed its threat of airstrikes against Serb rebels to protect all remain ing U.N. “safe areas.” Tensions exploded last week when Croatia sent thousands of troops into western Bosnia, where they made stunning advances against rebel Serbs. Croatia, which said it was re sponding to a plea from Bosnia’s Muslim-led government to help defend the northwestern Muslim enclave of Bihac, has used the advance to move its forces through Bosnia to threaten the self-proclaimed rebel Serb capi tal of Knin in Croatia. Despite continued fighting, Croatian and Serb representa tives agreed to hold talks Thurs day in Geneva, the United Na tions announced. At a meeting in Brussels, Bel gium, NATO ambassadors threatened airstrikes against Serb rebels if they attack Bihac or any other U.N.-declared “safe areas” for refugees. NATO issued a similar threat last week to protect the Gorazde “safe area” after the Serbs cap tured two other U.N. enclaves in eastern Bosnia. In Washington, the House of Representatives followed the Senate by voting Tuesday to lift the U.N. arms embargo against Bosnia so the Muslim-led gov ernment could better defend it self. President Clinton has vowed to veto the measure, say ing it would force U.N. peace keepers to leave Bosnia — and lead to the introduction of Amer ican ground troops to help in the evacuation.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the sec ond TV network takeover in as many days, Westinghouse Electric Corp. struck a $5.4 billion deal Tuesday to buy CBS, hoping to re store the once top-rated Tiffany Network to its former glory. The widely anticipated pact came a day after the Walt Dis ney Co. created the nation’s biggest entertainment company with a surprise deal to buy Capital Cities-ABC Inc. for about $19 billion. Westinghouse, based in Pitts burgh, is an industrial conglom erate that makes airport radar systems and nuclear plants in addition to running a group of TV and radio stations. CBS finished behind ABC and General Electric Co.’s NBC in the ratings last season. CBS, which began as a radio network in 1927 and thrived un der the leadership of William S. Paley, became knownas Tiffany Network for the q; of its programming. Laurence A.

Bryan Mason, chairman of the Old Main Society, said the society would like to see the buildings renovated. “There are a lot of former students and former residents of the dorms who want to see the buildings stay standing,” Mason said. “The dorms have a lot of character, andtk something that needs, kept around.” Sasse said the housing has not received any ink tion showing that the tail: are historical. “We are not against ta: preservation,” he said, “but: thing has a lifespan, and: buildings have exceeded it' Sasses said he hopf make the final presen!: concerning Law and Pi halls at the fall Boardt gents meeting, schedule: Oct. 12. Scholars Continued from Page 1 During Spring 1995 the Monsanto Company initiated gra: incentive awards for graduating seniors, Hogg said. These $3,000 scholarships are awarded each year to five ste who are pursuing graduate degrees in chemistry. “It is our intention to try and award at least three of tl scholarships to minority students,” Hogg said. Hogg said he believes the incentives will draw more minoril; dents to the chemistry department. Since his arrival in 1985, Hogg said the number of 111® chemistry majors has risen from 10 percent to 25 percent. “We have about 240 chemistry majors,” Hogg said. “Oft: about 50 or 60 are minority students.” Sophie Wilkinson, a news representative for ACS, said that a worldwide membership exceeding 150,000, the society is all raise more than $10 million in dues annually. “The society will spend over $5 million dollars over the next years toward the minority scholars program,” she said. “It is it esting to note that the society spends more on its scholarships, lications and programs than it receives in dues each year.” Phone Continued from Page 1 switching of long-distance car riers to be separate from pro motional material, written clearly and in one language. Steve Harness, an AT&T account representative, said slamming occurs for a number of reasons. “It can happen erroneously when we enter a wrong phone number,” he said. “Before the new FCC rules, slamming oc curred when a company had a sweepstakes in which a person filled out a form which included their signature and pb number. In the fine print, form said by signing this person agrees to switch tl long-distance [service] ovei another company.” Kathy West, customers vice manager for TCA& munications, said her com: ny attempts to protect: users from slamming. “Our customers use a it up card, which means tl dial a number to get into f computer, and this alleviat the problem of slammiaf West said. “I also recon® that students block onepl dialing on their phones soil their friends cannot chat long-distance phone calls their phones.” < T “Six ican ai: bomb 0 force fr its pow against to the 1 m deliver the Jap with tb later, b This years o change eternit The northw rowing 1945 m For ; diligen slumbe opened alone.
