Deadline Passes Without Airstrikes by ROBERT REID Associated Press ''' Monday, February 21, 1994 • Vol. XXVI No. 94 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S .. ~ Deadline passes without airstrikes By ROBERT REID Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia­ Herzegovina Bosnian Serbs pulled back enough heavy guns from snowy hills around Sarajevo to stave off immediate air strikes as a NATO deadline for removal passed early Monday. But the Western alliance warned that any movement of weapons back toward Sarajevo or attacks on the battered Bosnian capital would bring re­ taliation from NATO. Bosnia's Muslim president, Alija Izetbegovic, earlier urged NATO to go into combat for the first time in its history and bomb Serb guns that remained around Sarajevo. But Yasushi Akashi, the U.N.'s senior official in former Yugoslavia charged with mak­ ing the call on air strikes, said he saw no immediate need. "I have decided that it is not necessary at this stage for me to request NATO to use air power," Akashi ·said in a state­ ment released at his Zagreb, / Croatia, headquarters.

Lax, Chairman fVV C- -/c..,,* V cui'-' -ku .A rr Under the sponsorship of I Department of Defense (DOD) National Science Foundation (NSF) rP TC i rp-ia In cooperation with Department of Energy (DOE) National Aeronautics and Space Adrinistration (NASA) December 26, 1982 This report does not necessarily represent either the policies or the views of the sponsoring or cooperating agencies. r EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Report of the Panel on Large Scale Computing in Science'and Engineering Large scale computing is a vital component of science, engineering, and modern technology, especially those branches related to defense, energy, and aerospace. In the 1950's and 1960's the U. S. Government placed high priority on large scale computing. The United States became, and continues to be, the world leader in the use, development, and marketing of "supercomputers," the machines that make large scale computing possible. In the 1970's the U. S. Government slackened its support, while other countries increased theirs. Today there is a distinct danger that the U.S. will fail to take full advantage of this leadership position and make the needed investments to secure it for the future. Two problems stand out: Access. Important segments of the research and defense communities lack effective access to supercomputers; and students are neither familiar with their special capabilities nor trained in their use. Access to supercomputers is inadequate in all disciplines.

Yost, Ph.D. Charles Babbage Institute 1 Abstract This interview was conducted by CBI for CS&E in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the University of Minnesota Computer Science Department (now Computer Science and Engineering, CS&E). Professor Franta briefly discusses early education and interests. He attended the University of Minnesota (UMN), went on to complete his doctorate at the UMN in Mathematics/Computer Science orientation and signed on to be one of the founding members of the Computer Science Department as well as provided important leadership to the computer center as its Associate Director. The interview is especially rich in discussing the computer center, research projects with local computer companies, and the importance of the department to the industry and the industry to the department. Professor Franta did very extensive consulting with computer companies local and national while at the UMN (Control Data, Honeywell, Sperry Univac, Network Systems, 3M, and others)—along with government (NSF especially) important to setting up UMN CS labs. It is also offers considerable and important discussion of the 11 early faculty members of the Computer Science Department, their research and specialization and how the department was building coverage to educate from very early on after the department formation in artificial intelligence, programming languages, operations research, numerical analysis/mathematics, automata theory, and other areas.
