TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2002 FROM THE FRONT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A PROTEST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Morell cited the United States' exclusion from the Human Rights Commission last May as an example of worldwide sentiment against the Bush Administration's position on Iraq. Cheney, who was introduced to Taff supporters by his wife and U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Dodge City, did not address the protesters directly. He did say military action had not been ruled out as an option for dealing with Iraq. "The only issue is the disarmament of Iraq," Cheney said. "Saddam has spent decades in defiance of demands from the United Nations. We want to work with the United Nations. But expectations of Iraq from the United Nations must be met or action will be taken." Cheney added that protecting American people from terrorism was the most important responsibility the Bush Administration had. A Gallup poll found that 46 percent of Americans would support a strike on Iraq only with U.N. support, and 37 percent would support the strike even if the U.N. opposed the action. Another poll taken during the same time, following Bush's speech to the United Nations Sept. 18, said 80 percent of Americans believed the United Nations had not been tough enough in dealing with Saddam Hussein and Iraq. Gallup concluded overall that while Americans supported the removal of Saddam Hussein, the support levels would drop significantly if the United Nations opposed military action. Cheney said he was most concerned that weapons of mass destruction would enter the hands of al-Qaeda terrorists. "We're not fighting for revenge, but for the security of our people," he said. The crowd of about 60 protesters included three Lawrence teenagers who missed classes from Lawrence High School to attend the demonstration. They called into question the legitimacy of Bush's presidency and criticized his administration's environmental policies. "Bush stole the election and now he's trying to start a war," Eric Taylor, Lawrence High School student, said. Labor union and welfare activists also appeared to protest Cheney's arrival in Overland Park. But Cheney said Bush responded swiftly to the recent reports of accounting fraud and insider trading with calls to Congress to enact measures that would punish corporate criminals. Marcia Mayue of the Institute for Labor Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City said Bush and Cheney had not demanded enough corporate accountability following recent Enron and Worldcom scandals. Cheney ended his speech by voicing his support for Taff and urging Kansans to help establish a Republican-led Senate. "I'm here to make sure Taff is the next Congressman from the third district," he said.

This option would help distribute the weight evenly. He also stressed that different bags were needed for different activities But if pain still persists after a long day of classes, a trip to Wattkins may be a good idea. In order to get an appointment with a Wattkins physical therapist, a student must first meet with a physician and get a referral. "We look at each student individually to see what their specific needs are and we work on a program for them," Caywood said. Still, Johnson doesn't want it to come to physical therapy. come to practice. "I think books shouldn't be needed during class time," she said. "All you should need is a notebook, pen and that's it. Books should be a class supplement, not lectured from." — Edited by Katie Teske With This Ad Not Valid With Other Offers Exp.11-08-02 30% Off All Services MORE THAN JUST A COPY CENTER 785-832-2679 23rd & Naismith copycousa.com THE GOOD GIRL (n) 4:30 7:10 9:30 MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING (p) 4:45 7:00 8:20 2 admissions for the price of 1 on Tues LIBERTY HALL 644 Mass 749.1912 We know you're not stupid.
