Red Cross visits prison camp Four members of the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived yesterday to meet with U.S. officials and interview dozens of al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners being jailed at this remote U.S. military outpost. The Associated Press The Red Cross team of four, including a doctor, arrived yesterday from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The visit was the first by independent experts at Camp X-ray, which human rights advocates say provides substandard conditions for the prisoners. U.S. officials say the tight security is necessary and that the prisoners' rights are not being violated. Urs Boegl, head of the team, said findings of the prisoners' conditions would be shared with authorities but said he wasn't sure whether the findings would be made public. Behind coils of razor wire, prisoners with shaved heads and "For the most part, they do what they're told," said Sgt. Lisa Juve, an Army guard who spoke to journalists who were allowed to see the detention camp, but only from about 150 yards away. orange jumpsuits sat in open-air cells of chain-link fence. Military officials say the camp will soon be able to hold 320 inmates, or more if they are doubled up two to a cell. Workers also are building a permanent prison to hold up to 2,000. The United States is keeping more than 300 prisoners at the Marine base at Kandahar airport, in Afghanistan. nirty more prisoners arrived in Guantanamo from Kandahar yesterday bringing the inmate population here to 110. When they arrive, prisoners are given a half sheet of paper to write to family members or friends of their indefinite detention in Cuba. Five interpreters using Arabic and other languages help the guards communicate with prisoners, officials said. U.S. officials could not immediately say how many languages were being used. A Marine security guard, Cpl. Joe Lupo, said he was struck by the prisoners' size. "They're pretty small guys," he said, describing some of them as appearing to be in their teens. Governments have identified seven of the prisoners as Yemeni and three as British. Saudis also are among the prisoners, Saudi officials said, and Australian officials have identified one prisoner as one of their nationals. U. S. officials say tight security is needed because some prisoners have threatened to kill Americans and they include some of the most dangerous al-Qaida and Taliban fighters. Amnesty International said that the temporary cells - 8-by-8 feet - are too small. KU seeking aid for research center The Associated Press The University of Kansas is seeking $65 million from the Legislature toward construction of a $150 million biomedical center that officials said would put the state on the leading edge of research into such diseases as cancer and AIDS. cancer. "In 20 to 25 years, we will see the pharmaceutical industry disappear," said Michael Welch, vice chancellor for research. "We will no longer use chemicals, but proteins, to repair damage."

About 75 members of the House and 28 senators rode two Kansas National Guard buses from Topeka to the Kansas State student union for the daylong presentations. "We cannot afford to not invest in research capital," Roberts said. Other proposals included research for a cure for cancer, disease-resistant crops and the production of a supersonic air cruiser. School officials asked the state to invest $100 million. State Board of Regents members and deans of university colleges that would conduct the research also attended.
