The Greens selected the candidates based on their stances on issues addressed at previ ous forums, Magee stated. The Greens also took into account the candidates' pub lic records. “We are interested in supporting candi dates who are involved community mem bers, who are committed to improving public school education for African Ameri can students and who can provide leader ship on the difficult issues of planning, 1 800 CALL ATT always costs less than i-soo-collect.* Mways works from any phone.

Ken Touw, chairman of the board who is running for re-election, had aided in transitional changes faced by the board in the past, Magee stated. Touw said he was pleased and grateful for the Greens endorsement because en dorsements are valuable, especially since this is the first time they have endorsed CITY school board candidates. All of the candidates the Greens sup ported place an emphasis on minorities in their platforms. The Greens were also enthusiastic about newcomers Theard, Elstan and Golstein. They stated that “each of these candidates has been involved in their school commu nities.” Elstran said he was honored to be en dorsed by the Greens. “Anytime you are endorsed it makes you feel good,” Elstran said. Because the Greens’ support was from a younger age group, the endorsements were even more valuable, Elstran said. U.N. FROM PAGE 1 a lot of overlap. There are team efforts as any national government.” The United Nations is in debt, and the United States has been criticized recently for owing the organization $ 1.4 billion in back dues. Ron Sher, the president of the West Triangle chapter of the United Na tion Association, called the United States’ refusal to pay an attempt to dictate policy. In the post-Cold War era, the United Nations has been called upon to perform peacekeeping duties it was not designed for. Many have called the U.N. peacekeep ing experiences in Somalia and in Bosnia failures, but the responsibility belongs to individual countries. “If it’s true that the She laily (Tar Urrl U.N. peacekeepers have Med, most of the blame goes to U.N. nations,” Mlyn said. Henderson said the United Nations was not set up to deal with civil warfare, but had been forced to deal with it. “When the United Nations was estab lished, it only talked about U.N. power to stop international war,” she said. “There have been dozens of successes to match these horrors in Bosnia and Somalia.” U.N. peacekeeping forces were made up of soldiers from various nations who hadnotbeen trained as peacekeepers, Mlyn said. “(U.N. Secretary-General) Boutros Boutros-Ghali called for the United Na tions to have a freestanding army, ” he said. “That never happened.” Mlyn said the true measure of the United Nations’ power lay in the authority it ex erted over its member states. During the Gulf War, the United States sought U.N. approval before acting against Iraq. “The U.S. perceived it needed to get U.N. approval,” Mlyn said. “The United Nations provides legitimacy for the kind of activity that is going to happen (in post- Cold War years). ” Mlyn said although the United Nations was celebrating its 50th anniversary, itwasn’toutdated. “It’syoung in that its effectiveness in post-Cold War years has not been tested yet.” r 1 Open Til Midnite 7 Days a Week 60 Copies >4 C.O.
