_____________________________________________________________________________

To all supporters of peace and justice in former Yugoslavia:

Action for Peace in the Balkans, a multiethnic, San Francisco Bay
Area-based peace group, has organized a nationwide telegram hotline to
President Bill Clinton, urging him to seek a peaceful solution to this
conflict. The telegram reads:

"I oppose military intervention or lifting the arms embargo in the civil war 
in former Yugoslavia.  Such action will fuel the fighting, prolong civilian 
suffering, and lead to an even wider conflict in the region. Exercise 
evenhanded diplomacy and pressure the three warring sides in Bosnia and 
Hercegovina to negotiate a mutually acceptable political solution."

The procedure for using the hotline is as follows:

1. Call (800) 372-2626 (Western Union, Telegram Hotlines)

2. Ask for hotline no. 9337; it will be identified as "Peace in the
Balkans"; the recepient and begining of text will be confirmed (full text
also read on demand; however, note that within this hotline the text is not
alterable)

3. You will be asked for a name and address of the sender, as well as your
home phone number; a $6.95 charge will appear on your next telephone bill
(however, you can call from any phone)

4. You may (optionally) provide your name and address to the organizers.


We urge you to take part in and advertise broadly this action, which will
be taking place for a limited time after inauguration. Our new
administration's policy on this issue has apparently not been set yet, but
defining it is its highest foreign policy priority. This is why it is of
paramount importance to immediately  let them know that military
intervention is *not* a viable option. This message must be sent in a
clear, visible and organized way, and this action serves that purpose.
Certainly, other means of voicing your opinion on the subject remain
equally important as before. But we ask you to take this action seriously,
since only many thousands of telegrams can make a difference.

           ---A Story---

After the Greeks were so able to deter the recognition of Macedonia
due to it's "Activly destroying Greek culture", the Belgian government
issued an ultimatium to the Duchy of Luxembourg to change its name,
because it "implied territorial ambitions" said Jaques Strap, an official
of the Belgian parliament. Mr. Strap also was quoted as stating that
the Luxembourgers had made new maps depicting the Duchy which also
included the Belgian province of the same name.
Belgian forces have been put an alert and the E.C. is convening in
Barcelona, the capital of the Catalan/E.C. presidency. A Catalan official
was "concerned" that this crisis might lead to the development of war in
"the heart of the E.C."

In a similar development, the Republic of Georgia has demanded the U.S.
state of Georgia change it's name, because according to one official
"it undermines the cultural identity of the Geogian people."
The U.S. press secretary Ben Dover, stated that the U.S. "had first
dibs on the name...so there!"

                ALEXANDREIA

When suddenly at the hour of midnight there is heard
An invisible company going by
With exquisite music, with voices-
Do not uselessly lament
Your luck that is giving way, your work that has failed,
Your life's plans that have all ended in despair.
Like a man long prepared, like a man of courage,
Bid her farewell, the Alexandreia that leaves you.

Above all, do not deceive yourself, do not say that it was
A dream, that your hearing was mistaken;
To such empty hopes you must not condescend.
As befits you, who were found worthy of so great a city,
Go firmly to the window,
And listen with emotion, but without
The complains and entreaties of a coward,
As a last rapture listen to the sounds,
To the exquisite instruments of the mysterious company,
And bid her farewell, the Alexandreia that you are losing.

CSURKA ON S
OVAK-HUNGARIAN BORDER.  In an interview published by
the Slovak daily Praca on 23 January, Istvan Csurka, the
outspoken former deputy chairman of the ruling Hungarian
Democratic Forum called for a change of the Slovak-Hungarian
border. Slovakia, he says, has changed the border unilaterally by
moving forward on the Gabcikovo hydroelectric project. Csurka
argued that the Yalta agreements will expire in 1995 and that it
will be necessary to start negotiating new ways of cooperation in
Europe, in which context it "will be possible to address the
question of borders." Csurka also expressed the opinion that the
Hungarian minority in Slovakia is oppressed and that, in general,
the situation of minorities in Hungary is better than that of
minorities in Slovakia. Meanwhile, Slovak Foreign Minister Milan
Knazko told journalists on 23 January that Slovakia has no
terri
orial claims against any neighbor. Jan Obrman, RFE/RL, Inc.
 
ANTALL REELECTED AS PARTY CHAIRMAN. MTI reported on 23 January
that Prime Minister Jozsef Antall was reelected unanimously over
an indirect extremist challenge by Istvan Csurka at the Hungarian
Democratic Forum's sixth national meeting.  Although Antall was
the only candidate, there had been speculation about a movement
to draft Istvan Csurka. In a speech that won stormy applause from
the delegates, Csurka said that real changes have not yet taken
place in Hungary and that all [political and economic]
transformations that have so far taken place could be reversed in
two hours' time.  Csurka also warned the delegates that if the
HDF does not institute more radical political changes, the
party's chances in the spring 1994 general elections will be
slim. Antall, in contrast, called for party unity, stressing that
Hungary's political transformation has already passed the most
difficult phase.  Antall's reconfirmation took place without a
direct clash between moderates and extremists, so the stalemate
between the center-right HDF moderates and the extremist Csurka
followers continues. Csurka was elected to sit in the 20-member
party presidium. The three-day meeting also endorsed an amended
pa
m and operational regulations. Karoly Okolicsanyi,

        Hosted by School of Communications, Dublin City University
                        June 25-26 Dublin, Ireland

     Three forces compete for the hearts and minds of Europe's attentive 
publics--government, market, and civil society.  In Europe, as elsewhere, 
governments and markets control the major channels of public opinion 
formation, so they usually prevail.  But new channels (both interpersonal 
and technological) have transformed our capacity to build and maintain 
long-distance coalitions and networks.  New regional and global forces are 
now using new channels of communication to fight problems whose scale 
previously confounded local and national solution.  We call this the 
"transnationalization of civil participation."  

     The International Communication Section seeks papers for two panels 
describing the scope and impact of channels promoting communication and 
democracy in Europe's civil societies.  From the environment to women, from 
neighborhood conflict resolution to computer networks, from radio to 
publishing, from universities to the labor movement:  Civil society is 
producing new media to distribute its culture and information.  Market- and 
government-controlled media have not been able to provide reliable and 
diversified information essential to democracy.  We will accept articles 
from outside Europe if they focus on channels of civil and democratic 
communication relevant "Europe in Turmoil."  

     Paper abstracts accepted until February 15.  Important:  Final papers 
must be submitted via *email or on diskette* by April 15, 1992, no

Hi all,

I'm a linguistics major at USC and I have a project which I could use some
help in.  I am supposed to get some information on Hungarian speech communities
For those of you who don't quite understand what I am looking for, I will try
to explain.  A speech community is a group of people who tend to have similar 
ideas about the language they are using and have developed these in part as a
result of common contact.  What I would like some response on is how this plays
out in Hungary.  An example of questions that I would like answered are:
		How is Hungarian percieved in a particular community?
		Is Hungarian considered high class or low class when compared
 				to other languages, ie German, English
		What are the differences in Hungarian use between speech 
				communities

Basically, I am asking all of the native Hungarian speakers, as well as those
who are not (but have some knowledge of Hungarian language and its usage in
the various Hungarian communities throughout the world) to give me as much 
information that they can supply as to what makes Hungarian "tick" (so to 
speak).  Please e-mail me any contributions that you may have at the address
below.  Thanks for your help!

        I'd rather be drinking DogBolter (a tasty dark larger), but
then I'd rather be drinking Weihanstephan Korbinian. RedBack is made
in Perth and Melbourne, and the Melbourne place used to have a fantastic
range of beers in the bottle shop, until they rationalised. :-(

        The Melbourne place is just too "trendy" for my tastes these
days (the wrong type of crowd ;-), and they didn't let me in once because
they didn't like my shoes, so I've never gone back (except to the bottle
shop).

I believe that it is 9 months in any case (7 months in UK and 2 months in
