Greenspan assesses crisis
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairperson Alan Greenspan told Congress yesterday that the Persian Gulf crisis had piled "new and substantial risks" on an already faltering national economy.
In an assessment of U.S. economic prospects, Greenspan said the jump in oil prices since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2 had increased the threat of both higher inflation and a recession.

But the chairperson of the central bank rejected suggestions that U.S. economic policy-makers were in effect being held hostage by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Private economists said Greenspan's pessimistic comments reflected the tough choices facing him. Normally rising unemployment and other signs of sluggish growth would prompt the central bank to slash interest rates in order to spur demand.
But, while increasing the money supply, this measure probably would lead to an increase in prices. And the oil price shock already has put the country in the grips of its worst bout of inflation in nine years. Consumer prices are climbing at an annual rate of 6.2 percent.
He conceded that the Federal Reserve's job of promoting non-inflationary growth had been made more difficult by the unfolding events in the financial crisis. Yet, even though he still had the tools to mitigate the economic fallout.
Financial markets had been eagerly awaiting Greenspan's first report on economic conditions since the Persian Gulf turmoil began. But for the most part they reacted with disappointment as the Federal Reserve chief seemed to dash hopes of a quick move to lower interest rates.

SUA presents popular films at low cost to KU students
By Jamie Elliott
Kansan staff writer
Students eager to see big-name movies in a real theater without paying big-movie prices should look far more than the Kansas Union.
SUAE week features this semester include "Dick Tracy," "Die Harder," and "The Hunt for Red October."
Student Union Activities shows movies at Woodruff Auditorium in the Union for $2 Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday afternoons, and $2.50 for weekend features and midnight movies.
Feature films coordinator Marc Pariado said he and a committee of 10 people started setting this year's movie schedule at the end of school last year, dealing with about 25 different companies.
"Some movies, though, I have to go straight to the director or movie company to get." Parillo said. "For it was the way I had to go straight to David Llywol."
Parillo said lease fees for the movies ran between $250 and $700. SUA is allocated a set amount of money by the Kansas Union to divide among its eight departments, but Parillo said he usually requested no money because the movies could pay for themselves.
Besides big-name movies like "Pretty Woman," SUA also has found recurring success with films like "This is Spinal Tap."
is 600 to 800 people, and about 400 for a midnight movie.
" "Pretty Woman" was our first big break this semester," he said. "We sold out our Friday 9:30 p.m. show on our website and it gets people knowing about SUA."
Attendance at last weekend's showing of "Pretty Woman" was about 1,500. Parillo said. Average attendance at the weekend features
"If we showed 'Pink Floyd The Wall' every weekend, people would still come see it," Parillo said. "Woody Allen also does very well on this campus. And we always show 'Rocky Horror Picture Show.' Usually it's a midnight movie, but we're showing it this year on Halloween."
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday films start at 7 p.m., and the Saturday matinee is at 4 p.m.
Weekly films are shown at 4 p.m.
7 p. m. and 9:30 p. m. on Fridays,
7 p. m. on Sundays. Midnight movies
are shown Fridays and Saturdays.
