Earthquake kills more than 300 in northern Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — One of the strongest earthquakes to hit Egypt in modern times toppled buildings yesterday and caused deadly stumpedes of panicked residents. The government said 370 people were killed and more than 3,300 injured.
A mother, holding her dead son and shouting for help, was pulled from the rubble of a building more than seven hours after the afternoon earthquake that registered 5.9 on the Richter scale.
Many victims were trapped to death, including more than 100 schoolchildren in the Cairo area, said Maj. Gen. Rida Abdel-Aziz, an assistant interior minister. They were killed as they rushed from swaying
schools
Rescuers struggled into the night to die survivors from debris.
Authorities declared a state of emergency in this city of 14 million people.
The quake was centered about 20 miles southwest of Cairo, a few miles from the pyramids and the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. But Information Minister Safat wafel-sherif said major monuments survived the 20-second temblor.
The quake was preceded by a roar.
"At first, I thought it was a bomb in the bank," said Samy Mohammed Ali, a lawyer. "Then I saw people running, and I realized it was an earthquake."
People thronged in Cairo's streets after the ackle. Many seemed dazed. One woman stood on a sidewalk screaming. A knot of people sat in a
downtown square, tears streaking
down their cheeks.
Thousands crowded around the ruins of a 14-story apartment building in the northern suburb of Heliopolis late yesterday while four buildozers cleared debris under floodlights.
An ambulance worker said about 15 people were pulled out alive before nightfall, including mother Samia Ragab Khalli.
Her condition was unknown. She was removed, dazed, on a stretcher, after she was found holding her dead son and shouting for help.
The dead in the southern suburb of Maadi, where many Americans and other Westerners live, included six Egyptian schoolchildren.
Maadi resident Fahima Tala Aly
Suleman said she saw a 14-year-old
girl, wearing a school uniform, fall dead after a collapsing wall hit her. A wall collapse in a downtown Cairo shop killed a worker. Five boys died in a stampede from a collapsing school in Shubra, a poorer Cairo district.
Abdel-Aziz said most schoolchildren were casual of panic.
The security force's operations room in Cairo reported last night that 116 buildings were reported destroyed or badly damaged throughout Egypt.
Eight hours after the jolt, the Interior Ministry reported that the quake killed 370 and injured 3,369 in nine of Egypt's 26 provinces.
Hardest hit were Cairo, with 127 dead and 239 injured, and Giza to
the south, with 128 dead and 700 hurt,
it said.
The quake spared Aswan High Dam, which holds back 310-mile-long Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. A breach would send water gushing straight down the Nile Valley to Cairo.
Egyptian Museum director Mohammed Saleh said only two large statues among more than 100,000 pieces on display were damaged.
Whether Cairo's wealth of Islamic and Coptic monuments were undermined by the earthquake was not immediately known.
The quake was felt as far away as Jerusalem, 250 miles northeast of Cairo.

Country is cool in fashion
By Rachel Duran

When people think of fashion, they think of New York or Paris; they do not think of Nashville or Texas. But the country lifestyle has spilled over into the U.S. mainstream in the last few years, and Western apparel is catching on.
Western apparel is not just worn by rodeo and country music stars anymore. In the last few years, country music has had a big role in changing the way United States dresses. What these stars wear on stage has been influencing U.S. fashion. Everywhere you go someone has on the latest Western duds. An just what are some of the hot Western looks for this fall?
Jamie Webb, a sales representative at Vanderbilt's 1548 E. 23rd St., said that men and women had different tastes.
"Men favor Wrangler jeans," Webb said. "They also like Mo'Betta button downs, as well as Roner button downs."
Moe Betta shirts are endorsed by Garth Brooks and his band, and they wear these designs almost every time they perform in concert.
"Women like Rocky Mountain jeans and a large variety of shirts," he said. "There are so many brands for women, and they just love all of them."
Rocky Mountain jeans are boot-cut and come in bright and pastel
colors such as red, pink and pow der blue.
Boots are also part of the Western look. Boots come in pull-up, lace-up and alligator and snake skin makes. Webb said the most popular boot at Vanderbilt's was the Justin boot.
"Men buy pull-ups, while ladies prefer lace-ups," Webb said.
A Western outfit is not complete without a cowboy hat and other accessories. Webb said that there were many styles and brands of hats to choose from.
"The true Western person will buy Stetson cowboy hats," Webb said.
Some favorite accessories for men are belts, large silver belt buckles and boltoies. Women like bracelets and small earrings. Turquoise and silver are the favorite jewelry designs to top off a Western outfit, for both men and women.
Webb said that for the winter season, waist-length arena jackets were the big movers.
"David James and Walls arena jackets are very popular for this winter," Webb said. "We also carry Australian Oiled Outback coats."
Students at the University of Kansas like to go out in Western outfits on the weekends.
For Kari Ruehman, Fall River freshman, going out is a time to show off her latest edus.

the collar, sleeve and pocket, and pull-up boots," she said.
"When I feel like dressing up Western, I wear prints with Aztec designs, and Levi's, but no boots," she said.
Silver, turquoise jewelry compliment western wear
By Carrie Poland Special to the Kansan
Try matching a silver and turquoise cowboy hat with a leopard print scarf. Well, maybe you would not want to mix the two together, but Western wear and animal prints are two of the biggest trends in accessories this season.
Sterling silver alone or with turquoise make up many of the pins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, charms and watches that are in the stores.
Donna Miller, accessory employee at Dillard's at Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, said that Western apparel appealed to people because of its versatility.
"With the sterling silver, you can really dress up or dress down an outfit." Miller said.
Much of the Western jewelry is large and dangly, but the size and the shape does not seem to matter as much as does the look.
"I love silver and turquoise," said Alicia Kahler, Overland Park senior. "But it seems more last year that it was in. I was kind of surprised."
Ellen Williams, a clerk at the Etc. Shop, 928 Massachusetts st., said that it was the style of the jewelry that was making it popular.
"Silver jewelry is becoming big again," Williams said. "The earrings are getting bolder. It's a striking, simple look."
Western wear is not the only trend in accessories this season. Animal prints are coming into style in everything from scarves to earrings.
The colors are copper, brown, gold and yellow. The prints are similar to leopard skin. They can be found in almost any accessory and in almost any shape. Animals are dominant among the earrings with elephants, giraffes, and other jungle animals dangling from a hoop.
Miller said that while many people do not buy a lot of animal print, they do buy the accessories with the print colors.
"The animal print looks too childish." Miller said. "People go with the earth tones like copper since it's kind of natural."
Williams said that the print goes along with this season's trend of traditional men's and women's wear. She said the vests, ties and suits that are becoming popular among women require a different look.
"It's heavier, bolder," Williams said. "It's always been around, but it's coming out more now."
