Israeli offensive continues in Mideast
The Associated Press
NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli troops fought fierce battles with Palestinians in the West Bank yesterday, encountering stiff resistance in the crowded Jenin refugee camp and in the winding alleyways of Nablus' Old City.
At least 14 Palestinians were killed in Nablus, where dead bodies were sprawled along narrow, rubble-filled streets on the 10th day of Israel's offensive to weed out militants staging deadly terror attacks on its civilians.
The renewed fighting came as Secretary of State Colin Powell, due in the region this week to try to resolve the crisis, said that Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon has "taken very much to heart" President Bush's call Saturday for an immediate withdrawal from Palestinian areas.
But Powell noted that the Israeli leader has yet to set a timetable for a pullback, and Bush has not demanded one. "The President doesn't give orders to a sovereign prime minister of another country," Powell said on NBC's Meet the Press.
In a 20-minute phone call late Saturday, Sharon told Bush the Israeli army would "expedite" the mission.
At the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting yesterday, Sharon defended the offensive, calling it "a war for our homes."
"We have no interest in dragging it
With international pressure mounting and the U.N. Security Council scheduling consultations on the crisis later yesterday, there were hints of friction between the Israeli government and its military command. Officers sought more time for the West Bank military operation, but Cabinet ministers talked of bringing it to an end.
out, but we have to do the job," Sharon told Israel TV.
Defense Minister Binyamin BenEliezer said the military should operate as long as possible to "clean out terrorism" in the West Bank, but acknowledged that in light of Bush's demand, "our hourglass is running out."
Two KU students receive public policy scholarships
Nicole Hipp and Shane McCall were awarded $5,000 Morris K. Udall Scholarships for the 2002-2003 academic year.
The award was established by Congress in 1992 and is given to college students with career goals in environmental public policy, health care or tribal public policy.
Hipp, St. Louis senior in architecture, aims to establish an architectural firm that focuses on sustainable design, energy efficiency and preserving natural resources. McCall, Topeka senior in environmental science and sociology, plans to become a professor of environmental sociology, teaching and researching about how society affects the environment.
Eight University of Kansas students have earned the Udall Scholarship since 1998.
"Nicole and Shane are prime examples of KU students who care deeply about the environment and structure their academic programs and goals to have an impact on our world," said Chancellor Robert Hmenway.
