/_ Yugoslavia Endures Painful Changes Change is inevitable - a lesson is learned anew each day. Some changes are slow, and some are quick. Some are necessary; some are not. Some are peaceful , and some are violent. The break-up of Yugoslavia has been a fierce change. Civil war broke out in July of 1991 when Slovenia and Croatia declared their independence. Since then thousands of homes have been destroyed and many lives have been lost. Although the fight occurred an ocean away, the conflict hit close to home for many due to friends and family that were involved. ;i Harding enrolled its first student from ~ Yugoslavia, Drazenka Valpotic, in the !l fall.

Whatever peoples' impressions were, Yugoslavia's future remained an unfinished work. + - Melanie Johnson April Horton - Ramer. TN Jim Horton - Ft. Worth , TX Marla Houston - Concord .
