Clinton hails summit advances
By TERENCE HUNT
AP White House Correspondent
BRUSSELS, Belgium President Clin
ton claimed "two giant steps" for global
security yesterday with a breakthrough
agreement to dismantle Ukraine's nuclear
arsenal and NATO approval of unprece
dented cooperation with former foes in
Eastern Europe.
Clinton called the Ukrainian agreement
a "hopeful and historic" advance. And he
also hailed the offer of greater cooper
ation with former Soviet bloc nations
though some of them wanted more.
"It is time to begin welcoming these
newcomers to our neighborhood," he said.
The upbeat mood at the 16-nation NATO
summit was clouded by lingering division
over how far the West should go to stop
the war in Bosnia, which has claimed
200,000 lives.
In the absence of consensus for tougher
action, the leaders debated whether to
simply renew their unfulfilled threat of
air strikes against the Serbs if they con
tinue to shell Sarajevo and block U.N.
humanitarian relief convoys.
French President Francois Mitterrand
urged reinforcement of U.N. troops in
Bosnia. However, Clinton cautioned that if
NATO threatens military action, "We have
to mean it ... If the situation does not
improve, the alliance must be prepared to
act."
British Prime Minister John Major pro
posed stiffening the allied promise for air
strikes to threaten attacks on Serb forces
in Srebrenica, who are encircling 300
Canadian troops. He also recommended
bombing Serbs on the hills around the
airport at Tuzla, a key humanitarian aid
delivery point. The airport is closed
because the Serbs refuse to guarantee
they will not attack.
The British proposal is designed to step
up pressure on U.N. Secretary General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali to give the green
light to the allies to begin an air campaign.
The day ended with more discussion of
Bosnia over a working dinner at the Val
Duchesse on the wooded outskirts of
Brussels. The heads of states and prime
minister laid the groundwork for a Bosnia
declaration at the final NATO session
today.
"Now we will sleep on it and we will
come to conclusions (today)," Dutch Prime
Minister Ruud Lubbers said.
Separately, Clinton told reporters, "I
can't say there was any conclusion
reached except that I do believe we'll stay
with our present policy."
Before going to bed, he strolled the
historic Grand-Place with his national
security adviser, Anthony Lake, stopping

PHILADELPHIA Swarthmore
College will pay for a male student
accused of intimidating a female
classmate to attend another school
this semester.
Freshman Ewart Yearwood has
agreed to take a leave of absence
for the spring 1994 term and to
undergo counseling at Swarth
more's expense if he returns to
the suburban Philadelphia campus.
Yearwood, who denies the alle
gations, yesterday called the
school's offer of tuition and trans
portation and book costs a thinly
veiled bribe to make him go away
and to end the episode quietly.
"If you truly think I did some
thing wrong, kick me out," Year
wood said.
"Why should they pay for me,"
he added. "I think the president of
the college ... sees something is
wrong here, either the penalty, the
process or the procedure ... I made

NATO opens doors to East; old enemies bury hatchet
By BARRY SCHWEID
AP Diplomatic Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium Old foes are
being transformed into new friends as
NATO opens its doors to the East, turning
history on its head and raising fresh
questions about the purpose of a formida
ble military alliance once its enemy has
dissolved.
President Clinton's "partnership for
peace" will accelerate contacts first
authorized in 1990 with one-time Warsaw
Pact adversaries, culminating by the end
of the year in joint military exercises in
Poland.
Forty-five minutes from Brussels,
offices are being set up for the new part

clear that if I was suspended I
would sue."
He said he agreed to the volun
tary leave to avoid the suspension.
In a statement, Swarthmore
president Alfred H. Bloom said he
was "pleased that (Yearwood) has
agreed to take this course of
action, which I believe is reasona
ble and just to all parties."
But Yearwood's lawyer said the
conditions imposed by the liberal
arts school have more to do with
his client's Hispanic heritage than
with the young man's behavior.
Freshman Alexis Clinansmith
accused Yearwood of intimidating
and sexually harassing her during
the fall 1993 semester. Yearwood,
who at the time had his head
shaved, revealing several scars,
has said Clinansmith misinter
preted his actions.
After months of disciplinary
actions and appeals, Bloom con
cluded that Yearwood did not sex
ually harass Clinansmith, but that
he engaged in a "pattern of intim
quarters for allied forces in Europe. It is
there that NATO's top strategists for
years brainstormed "Live Oak" exercises
against the Soviet-led alliance.

school judicial committee's con
clusion that Yearwood had violated
an agreement to stay away from
the young woman.
"The resolution of this case

makes clear that intimidation is
not to be tolerated at Swarthmore
College and, consistent with the
college's confidence in the power
of education, provides the means
for (Yearwood) to learn to better
manage his own behavior," Bloom
said.
Should Yearwood decide to
return to Swarthmore, his coun
selor and one appointed by the
college would present their eval
uations to a five-member panel of
administrators, who would then
determine his readmittance.
But Yearwood, a native of Belize
who lives in New York City, said
he will not return to Swarthmore
unless he cannot gain degree -sta
tus admission to Columbia, Lehigh
or Tufts universities.
His lawyer, Harvey Silverglate
of Boston, said Monday he hasn't
ruled out legal action.
Silverglate said he didn't under
stand how Bloom could find that
Yearwood intimidated Clinansmith
but didn't harass her. He called the
lip service to the Cold War concept of
conflict with capitalism, are now strug
gling to become democracies with free
market systems.
As they emerge blinking in the sunlight
of freedom, NATO stands ready to nurture
them.
President Clinton told a new generation
of Europeans on Sunday that NATO's
"fundamental mission of defending NATO
territory from attack" had not changed.
"We cannot afford to abandon that mission
while the dream of empire still burns in
the minds of some who look longingly
toward a brutal past," he said.
He did not say who may harbor such
frightening dreams or aspirations to dom
inate Europe, once ascribed to the Soviet

case a battle over an "outrageous
infestation of 'Political Correct
ness."'
"I do not think I have a prob
lem," Yearwood said. "They feel
that I probably inadvertently, sub
consiously, release intimidating
vibes and that I need counseling to
better understand what it is in my
behavior that makes people feel
that way and how to be perceived
as less intimidating."
Clinansmith had accused Year
wood of following her and making
threatening remarks. In addition to
filing a complaint with the college,
she also made reports to the
Swarthmore borough police and
the Delaware County District
Attorney's Office.
In response, Yearwood agreed to
stay away from Clinansmith.
A school disciplinary committee
in November deadlocked over the
charges of harassment and intim
idation, but decided to suspend
Yearwood for the spring semester,
which starts Jan. 17.

New health care
system matches each
University student
with a team of
physicians.
By CHAD WEIHRAUCH
Collegian Staff Writer
It's a place where students used
to see one face after another
marching by, a place where trying
to get to know someone was nearly
impossible even though all the
people tried to take the time to
care.
Now University Health Services
turning to more traditional
medical care with the introduction
of a new health care system.
Beginning today, students visit
ing health services will be asked to
join one of three health care teams
in the general medicine depart
ment. Each team has three to four
physicians, as well as mid-level
practitioners and nurses.
"Those people all work together
to care for the patients," said
Susan Kennedy, associate director
of health services.
Until now, persons who needed
to see a University physician saw
the first one available.
Under the new plan, students
will choose a primary -care pro
vider in one of the three teams to
be their physician while at the
University. Students can see any
other member of their team if that
provider is unavailable. And in the
event of a medical emergency,
patients will still be assigned to the
first available physician for
immediate attention.
To help students select a prima
ry-care provider and team that will
best suit their needs, the health
center will publish informational
brochures. The brochures will
identify each provider and include
information on the education, clin
ical and personal interests of each.
University physician Dr. Larry
Dansky said patients will receive
better continuity in their treat
ment because they will see the
same physician or team members
during each visit.
"It would be basically bringing
to University Health Services a
system similar to private prac
tices," he said.
Before the health care teams
were instituted, patients were
subjected to "pingpong" health
care, which Dansky described as
seeing one physician after another
and never getting acquainted with
the doctor.
Chris Sciortino (junior-premedi
cine) said the new system will
probably be better for students
who visit health services often. "It
would be nice to see the same
face," he said.
Donna Recchio, co-president of
the Student Health Advisory
Board, said breaking up the staff
will lead to higher quality health
care.
"I think it's going to expedite
students' visits," she said, adding
that the board was consulted when
the teams were being developed.
Dr. Margaret Spear, director of
health services, said the service's
health care changes have been
talked about for nearly a year.
