UW-Parkside Serbian students anguish over Kosovo Christine DonaIies Editors Note: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the students quoted and do not necessiarly reflect the opinions of the Ranger or it's staff. The NATO bombings against Yugoslavian Serbs have caused several Serbian students at UW- Parkside to claim NATO is oper- ating under double standards. In addition, these students agree NATO's action is illegal and has united the Serbian people. Serbians and Albanians have made bloody conquests of. Kosovo for thousands of years, each claiming their right to the land. Americans are presented one side of the story; interviews from Serbian students reveal another. Dalibor Tomic is seeking a Business degree and is a senator for UW-Parkside's Student Government. He points out NATO's illegal action by reminding us of the UN Charter. "NATO can't bomb without the authorization of the UN Security Council which they never got, and they can't bomb a sovereign nation unless that country" threatens any of the NATO countries." Tomic is the first American- born citizen in his family. His family moved from Bosnia to the U.S. in 1972; and he was born in 1979. His grandfather lives in Belgrade, but most of his family is in Novi Sad, Bosnia. NATO bombings have occurred in Novi Sad, and Tomic's family has been unable to communicate with any of their relatives. "I don't think it's fair, if they're [NATO] going to do one thing to one side, I feel they should do it to the other side." He refers to the Croatian Army's rapid expulsion carried out in a number of days of 200,000 ethnic Serbs from Krajina, Croatia in 1995. 14,000 Serbs were killed and 73% of their homes destroyed. "NATO didn't do anything," Tomic declared. ''I'm not saying we're innocent, a lot of atrocities are being committed by all three sides . . . They should stop the bombing and go back to the negotiating table because they were getting real close to peace." He believes it wo~d be fair if both sides continued living in Kosovo and claims Serbian President, Slobodan Milosevic revoked Kosovo's autonomy .because "A lot of Serbians were· fleeing the region. They were being robbed, murders were being commi tted, and they [Albanians] were discriminatory towards the Serbian people ·because they [Serbs] were the minority." Because Milosevic was not a popular president, Tomic infers, "One of NATO's goals was to divide the Serbian people, but the bombings had an opposite affect; they united and strengthened Serbian support for Milosevic. . "I was not a great fan of Milosevic," he explains, 'but now I have to support what he's doing because a lot of Serbs did flee the region and he did get rid of their [Albanian] power. Then the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) formed and they wanted inde- pendence. I just don't think that's right, the US government even labeled the KLA a terrorist orga- nization six months ago." Tatjana Bicanin agrees with Tomic concerning Milosevic. She is a double major in Business and Communication pursuing a Conflict Analysis and Resolution Certificate, and also is a first-gen- eration Serbian-American. Her father was born in Kosovo and migrated to the US at 19. Over 25 years, he moved most of his fam- ily from Kosovo to the US. . . Bicanin talks about her aunt who lives near Belgrade with her two high school-aged children. "There are a lot of [NATOl bomb- ings in Belgrade right now and for the last three weeks, school has stopped for them. Now they just stay at home and hide in their basement when the skies are all lit up with bombs. .. I can't even imagine what they're going through because I've never experienced it. 1wish they could come over here." Two men in her family recent- ly had to join the Serbian Army. "There's always been friction over there and this goes way back. It's all about politics, but I also think they believe what they're doing is right in sticking up for their own community."

Overblown fence causes postponed games The UW-Parkside Men's baseball team was unable to play this past weekend because the leftfield fence was blown over due to the windy weather conditions. The mishap may cause this weekends home games to be reloaded to a local area if the $7,000 fence cannot be fixed. Sports Information Director Steve Kratochvil said that Coach Sal Bando was contacting various area ball parks to find a place to play if the fence is still not fixed.
