□ The Serbs show no
sign of withdrawing,
despite today's U.N.
deadline.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegov-
ina (AP) — The United Nations
reopened a route into Sarajevo on
Sunday and gave Bosnian Serbs a
Monday night deadline to start
withdrawing the heavy weapons
that ring the city — or face more
punishing airstrikes.
But there was no sign that the
Serbs were withdrawing, and
Western leaders said the
airstrikes could resume any time
after 11 p.m. Monday, when they
will assess Serb compliance with
their demands.
The United Nations also de
manded that the Serbs halt all
attacks on Sarajevo and three
other U.N. “safe areas,” reopen
Sarajevo airport and restore
complete freedom of movement
for international aid organiza
tions and U.N. personnel.
“Failure to meet these de
mands will immediately result in
airstrikes,” said U.N. spokesman
Chris Gunness.
The demands were sent in a
letter to Bosnian Serb military
commander Gen.
Ratko Mladic on
Sunday. The letter
also said any at
tacks on Sarajevo or
the three other
“safe areas” would
bring an immediate
NATO response.
“The letter made
clear to Gen. Mladic
what needs to be
done,” Gunness said.
Mladic had earli
er rejected similar
demands, saying he
would not negotiate
until NATO stops its flights
over Bosnia, and would stop at
tacking U.N. “safe areas” only
when government forces stop
attacking the Serbs from within
the enclaves.
But the U.N. demands are
non-negotiable, Adm. Leighton
Smith, the commander of the
NATO air campaign, said on
NBC-TV’s “Meet the Press.”
“They have very little time
in which to make a decision to
start showing
progress on this, and
it’s up to them when
the bombing starts,
if it should start
again,” he said.
Richard Hol
brooke, a U.S. assis
tant secretary of
state, said in Geneva
that the airstrikes
were suspended to
give U.N. officials
time to meet with
Mladic, but that be
cause Mladic refused
to meet their de
mands, NATO was ready to re
sume bombing.
“The result of the meeting
was unsatisfactory,” he said.
“The package of bombing tar
gets was not completed, and
NATO is ready to complett
them if necessary.”
“If anyone doubts the resolvt
of NATO ... they should look
what happened last week,”
brooke said, referring to
airstrikes.
The United Nations reopened
one route into Sarajevo on
day — the dangerous Mount Ig
man road that crosses the airport
and often comes under Serb fire,
The road has been closed to sup
ply trucks and private cars for
months, although some militan
vehicles have continued to use it.
Last month, three U.S. diplo
mats were killed when theirar
mored vehicle plunged off the
road as they headed for peace
talks in Sarajevo.
The first trucks, carrying
watermelons and other g<
crossed the airport and headed
into the besieged city Sunday
afternoon.
But the Igman road is little
more than a dirt track, and
main roads in and out of Sarajevo
are still in Serb hands.

Health Tips
Abstinence, safe sex can prevent STDs
By Erin Foley
A.P. Beutel Health Ceni er
Do you want to know the real key to a hap
py and satisfying sex life? Then avoid Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, STDs, at all costs.
STDs come in three forms. Viral STDs
are incurable but treatable. The second
type is bacterial, which are curable
through correct and prompt treatment. The
third form is infestations.
The common viral STDs are herpes sim
plex virus, human papilloma virus, hepati
tis B and HIV. The more common bacterial
STDs are chlamydia, syphilis and gonor
rhea, and more common infestations are
pubic lice (crabs) and scabies.
The most common STDs for college stu
dents to watch out for are chlamydia, hu
man papilloma virus, genital herpes, crabs
and gonorrhea.
Some of the symptoms of STDs are redness
and swelling, sores and growths, burning and
itching, discharge that is foul smelling or pus
like or pain in the pelvic or genital region.
Some times STDs are “silent,” meaning
people do not show any symptoms. This is par
ticularly common for women. Often, women do
not have any outward symptoms of an STD
because the infection is located internally.
Sometimes the symptoms are so mild that the
person does not even notice them.
But before you feel completely over
whelmed, you should be aware that you can
get tested for STDs. Treatment, sometimes
even a cure, is also available.
You can seek treatment and vaccina
tions at the A.P Beutel Health Center or
your personal physician.
The health center offers classes on how to
prevent STDs. There are two key ways to pre
vent them. The best way is through absti
nence. Abstinence is 100 percent effective if
practiced consistently.
Abstinence also does not have to be “just
holding hands.” Everyone has their own level
of what is comfortable for them.
A second way to prevent STDs is through
safer sex. If you have chosen to be sexually ac
tive, then using condoms and spermicide cor
rectly and consistently can help prevent STDs.
If you are in a relationship where you
feel comfortable enough with your part
ner’s fidelity and you want to stop using
condoms and spermicide, then get tested
for all STDs, including HIV (which you
must be retested again after six months to
be certain of your status).
STDs can be a traumatic event in a college
student’s life. We want you experience at
Texas A&M to be a positive and enjoyable one.
So please remember that you are worth pro
tecting at all costs.
For information on health topics, students
can contact Health Education Center, ft
A.P. Beutel Health Center.

That is
Reaction: Students disappointed about vote postponement
close, and there was a chance
that it would fail,” Boenig said.
“I was surprised that it didn't
get out of committee and that
the Board didn’t get a chance
to vote on it. ”
Boenig said students should
focus on the positive things
that came out of the vote.
“All the System schools
came closer together,” he said.
“All the Student Government
leaders from all the schools
improved their relationship
with the Board of Regents.”
Jill Jackson, Student Gov
ernment vice president for fi
nance and a junior kinesiology
major, said Student Govern
ment members were disap
pointed, but not defeated,
when the regents postponed
the vote.
“I actually was shocked,”
Jackson said. “I was surprised
regents who were
against it. We’re going to con
tinue the campaign though.”
The student liaison would
voice the opinions and perspec
tives of students from all the
System schools.
Becky Silloway, speaker of
the Student Senate and a se
nior political science major,
said the advisory board will
meet in December, at the same
time the Board meets, and will
attempt to bring the issue up
for discussion again.
“I really don’t have a good
explanation of why they tabled
it,” Silloway said. “I’d be less
than truthful if l said l wasn’t
disappointed.”
Student Government is
working on a new plan of at
tack, hoping that a vote from
the full Board would prove
more favorable than a commit
tee vote.
Silloway said she is hopeful
that Mary Nan West, Board
chairman, will allow the stu
dent liaison issue to bypass
the committee and go straight
to a full Board meeting.
Chris Reed, speaker pro tem
of the Senate, said despite the
latest disappointment, he
thinks the Board will make
every effort to be open and
available to any student who
wishes to talk to them.
That openness, however,
does not make up for the lack
of a student liaison, he said.
“This availability doesn’t
negate the fact that a student
representative to the Board
would be able to address issues
in a unique way,” Reed said. “I
think the student liaison
would be a great communica
tion tool.”
The student liaison would
have full speaking privileges
at all Board meetings and
would be placed on Board com
mittees. However, the liaison
would not vote or attend exec
utive sessions.
Stacy Wheeler, a sophomore
kinesiology major, said the
Board should not have any
reservations about instating a
student liaison.
"It’s like they are saying,
‘We don’t even want to hear
what you have to say,’” Wheel
er said. "It doesn’t make any :
sense. It’s not going to affect
them if the student liaison
doesn’t even vote.”
Dana Janda, a senior electri
cal engineering major, said she |
thinks student input is necessary |
in order to keep the regents ac- i
countable and aware.
“I think it’s stupid that they |
tabled it,” Janda said, “be- I
cause even if they aren’t vot
ing, students still need to have
a say-so in the rules the Board
of Regents are changing or I
making.”
