Harvard students raising
$50,000 for Bosnian relief
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
The rising death toll in Bosnia-
Herzegovina has propelled a group
of Harvard University undergradu -
.. ates to try to raise $50,000 for a relief
I    iruck, a driver and 20 tons of food.
About 80 students planned to
visit every bouse and first-year
dormitory to deliver literature and
collect donations for the truck,
which would transport food and
medicine to Sarajevo and possibly
carry out refugees.
"We've got people canvassing
every room on campus," said Mar¬
tin Lebwohl, a sophomore and one
of the organizers.
The group hopes to solicit dona¬
tions of at least $10 each and to
raise awareness about the plight of
Bosnian civilians, thousands of
whom have been killed, raped, and
tortured over the past two years in
a campaign of "ethnic cleansing."
"We're not a political organiza¬
tion," explained Marc Kuchner, a
senior. "Our message is, 'We care*'.'
We hope to spark other efforts that
bring Bosnia to the forefront of
people's minds."
A benefit concert was held
March 4 at Boston University's
Morse Auditorium. Several
Harvard students helped arrange
the concert of Turkish, Slavic,
American, Peruvian, and other eth¬
nic music.
Junior Alberto Simpser, who has
been active on many fronts, is also
forming an organization to work
on political issues regarding the
civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
The group, called the Harvard Coa¬
lition Against Atrocities in Bosnia,
plans a letter-writing effort and an
April conference on activism and
other subjects. .    .
" "We have a responsibility to
make sure our leaders know what
our opinions are," Simpser said.
A separate organization for
graduate students, Friends of
Bosnia, is being established to pro¬
vide inf ormation and humanitarian
assistance, said Nabeela Khatak, a
graduate student at the Center for
Middle Eastern Studies. It now in¬
volves students from the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences, the
Law School, and the Kennedy
School of Government
The truck drive was inspired
partly by a Feb. 15 panel discus¬
sion, sponsored by Harvard-
Radcliffe Hillel, that included au¬
thor and humanitarian Leonard Fein
and the screening of a video about
Bosnia.
"After the speech, a group of
students said, 'So what are we go¬
ing to do now.'" recalled Hillel
chair Elie Kaunfer.
A core of about seven under¬
graduates, some of whom already
belonged to the Harvard Human
Crisis Watch, decided to act swiftly.
At Fein's.suggestion, they
agreed to try to purchase *a truck
through the American Jewish Joint
DistributionCommittee, and inter¬
national relief organization based
in New York that has low overhead
and quick access to Sarajevo,
Lebwohl said.
The literature distributed to stu¬
dents in the door to door drive in-
vokes the memory of the Holo¬
caust, when millions of European
Jews and others were murdered by
Nazis for the sake of ethnic purity.
'"Never again!' people said af¬
ter the Holocaust, but the fact that
genocide is taking place today is
becoming more and more obvious,"
fliers read. "Our generation has
done nothing but watch genocide
take place...again. Now is the time
to act. Let Harvard take the lead."
Although a group collected some
contributions for Bosnia and So¬
malia last year,'this is the first large-
scale humanitarian effort for Bosnia
held at Harvard, according to the
students.
