Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti Amber Pace Senior News Editor On Monday, after 21 grueling hours, President Clinton's three-man peace-talking committee managed to insure the peaceful occupation of Haiti. President Clinton told the nation that the operation is a two fold process. "We are there to preserve, and restore order," said Clinton. Early Monday morning the 82nd airborne clouded the skies over Haiti. Their loud speakers were announcing "This in not an invasion we are here to work with the military" The speakers also announced that "American troops are now here to restore democracy and ask people to remain calm." The people in Haiti are sceptical as to the ability of the American forces to control and restore peace. Lawrence Pezzullo who spoke with Haitian officials last year during the Governor Island talks said Monday, "The terrible tragedy of this country throughout its history has led the Haitian people to question the ability of Americans." On Monday U.S. troops were welcomed,but not by all Haitian people. They wonder how the American forces will deal with the death squads and powerful military currently running the country. Once the occupation began on Monday the white house had estimated on installing total of 10,000 American troops within the following week. The objective in Haiti has been divided into four purposes. First to restore: democ racy, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and policemilitary education. Second, for humanitarian purposes efforts will be made to educate the Haitian people in food, water and medicine conservation and cleanliness. The third purpose is to aid the country economically; estimated amounts from the U.S. are at $100 million, with an additional $450 million from Britain and other nations, to begin October 1 . The fourth and most prominent point, the installation Aristide whoagrees to over see the election of a new Haitian President during the 1995 winter elections and to install a parliament. From the time Haiti received their independence in 1804 there has been endless turmoil, illiteracy has reached alarming rates, See HAITI, Page 4 Fire on UVSC grounds injures two Ryan MillerThe College Times Firemen Barry Stone, Dave Forsyth and Barry Nielsen, douse a burning "tar pot" trailer at UVSC construction site. Robbin Seegmiller Editor at Large Orem City Fire Department dispatched two engines to a reported vehicle fire at UVSC's Special Events Center construction site, Money, September 19 at 10:32 a.m. The fire originated in a "tar pot" trailer used by Superior Roofing, a subcontractor on the project. The trailer was backed up against an air shaft in which two Big D Construction employees were working. When the fire ignited the workers, whose identity was not released, were temporarily trapped within the air shaft. The two were injured slightly, one with first and second degree burns to his upper arm and back, the second received first degree bums to his right arm and the back of his neck. Both victims were treated at the scene and transferred to an area hospital. "This is equipment used to heat tar to be used for sealing surfaces. Some kind of equipment failure occurred and a fire resulted," said UVSC Police Officer Nelson. Big D Construction, contractor for the project has a very clean safety record. With 60,000 man hours expended thus far on the project, Big D employees have lost no hours because of injury. The accident will be investigated by the Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration. More money available as tuition increases Sheila Banister Asst. Senior News Editor This fall students at UVSC paid a four percent tuition increase, a total of $579 for full-time resident students. Because tuition is on the rise, students are forced to find new resources to fund their education. In the past, tuition has generally gone up every year to keep up with yearly inflation. Annually, the Board of Regents reviews state school's tuition. Before approval of increases, the board compares the previous year's tuition rate with tuition rates of peer institutions and the percentage of cost of education students bear. Also, the board can only increase tuition by three percent more than inflation percentage. 2.4 percent of the revenue collected from the increase goes to urgent student support. Funding is given to assist organizations in the school that directly affect the students, such as advisement centers, the libraries, computer labs and others. The rest of the money goes to help support base adjustments. Barbara Gittins, Director of Business Affairs of the Board of Regents, said a new proposal for a new state tuition formula will be reviewed on Wednesday, Sept. 21. The new formula proposes that state colleges tuition will be 55 percent of the University of Utah's See TUITION INCREASE, Page 7 In order to mate, and v P not be eaten, a male autumn spider, MrTLr Metellina Segmen- LTNcOm0 v tata, must wait until i T the female is eating nNlr-L I . something else. rXy s Some will wait for XTV fegff;iL (3 -VyDarnl I should hatfeTx u BBT' V V broughtsomechocolates. )
