Malott Hall elevator fire forces lab evacuation
A small fire in a Malott Hall freight elevator caused the evacuation of more than 100 people Friday afternoon.
Bob Porter, associate director of facilities operations, estimated that the damage was less than $100.
The fire call dame in at 3:15 p.m., the Lawrence Fire Department said.
Many of the people evacuated were students in Chemistry 184 and 188 labs.
Marshall Martin, Spartanburg, S.C., graduate student, said there were six lab sections in session when the fire alarm sounded.
Dana Mauer, Topeka freshman, sat on a hill outside Malott finishing calculations while the building was evacuated. She said that she had already finished the experiment portion of her lab when the fire alarm went off.
The alarm stopped sounding at about 3:30 p.m. and the remaining students and staff re-entered the building. Many of the students had been dismissed by their lab instructors.
The alarm went off again at 3:40 p.m., causing the building to be evacuated. The fire department cleared the scene at 4:10 p.m.
WORLD
KUWAIT — Secretary of State Madeleine Albright assured Israel and its Arab neighbors yesterday that the United States would have a swift and resounding response to any Iraq attack in the region.
Albright: US will respond to any Iraqi aggression
"The United States stands with you in the face of Saddam's latest threat," Albright told the Israeli people in a televised Jerusalem news conference.
Albright then flew to the Persian Gulf and gave the same message to leaders of Kuwait. She intended to repeat it today to government leaders in Saudi Arabia as part of a swing through the region to line up Arab support for possible military action against Iraq.
During the current impasse between Iraq and the United Nations over weapons inspections, the Iraqi government has uttered no specific public threat of attack.
In Kuwait, State Department spokesman,
James P. Rubin said Albright told officials:
"The United States stood with you when Saddam Hussein attacked you seven years ago; the United States stands with you in the face of Sad-dam's threat today."
"She believes she has the 100 percent support of the government of Kuwait," Rubin said after talks in the emirate.
Albright: On a tour to show support for Arab nations
In a statement, Kuwait's acting foreign
minister, Abdel-Aziz Dakhil al-Dakhil, said his government realized how serious the present situation was and held the Iraq regime responsible for all the negative consequences that may result from its refusal to compromise and its failure to comply with international resolutions on U.N. weapons inspections.
In 1990, most Arab countries — Jordan was noticeably in dissent — supported the successful U.S.-led invasion to liberate Kuwait. This time, the Arabs' stance is difficult to evaluate.
State Department officials said Kuwait and Jordan, whose King Hussein met with Albright Friday night in London , were backing the U.S. hard line toward Iraq.
