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 stampedes 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.
schools.
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

many 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 Safawat el-Sherif said major monument survived the 20-second temblor.
The quake was preceded by a roar.
The quake was preheated by a rhyme:
"At first I thought it was a bobblehead,
A lawyer made an alarming All,
a lawyer." Then I saw people running,
and I realized it was an earthquake."
People thronged in Cairo's streets after the akule. 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.

Suleiman 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 2,139 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 have sent water gushing straight down the Nile Valley to Cairo.
Egyptian Museum director Mohamed Saleh said only two large statues among more than 100,000 pieces on display were damaged.
Whether Caro'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.

Special to the Kansan
By Windy Hodges Special to the Kansan
Cadey Bowdern, St. Louis junior, started making personalized belts when she took a needlepoint class in high school.
"We could get an A for making two belts," she said. The belts that she made had Guatemalan color blocks and mountain scenery on them.
Personalized belts are one of a few new trends in accessories that can make a statement. Other popular handmade accessories include bracelets and necklaces made with beads.
"The stores have books of patterns, and you can pick out your own yarn or they'll do it for you." Bowden said.
Bowden said that Marni's needlework and Sign of the Arrow, both stores in St. Louis, would add leather and buckle to anyone's needlework to make a unique belt.
Amy Wittauer, St. Louis sophonite, said that she had known about the belt service for about six years, and that she was making one for her boyfriend.
Iteid Staley, St. Louis junior, said, "Every guy at my high school had one of the needle-point belts. Everyone knew it was bad luck to make one for your boyfriend, because once you'd finish it, you'd always break up."
"For the signal flag belt I'm making, you use
the same e.g. stretch," she said.
She said it did not take her very long to fetch the needlework for a belt. "If I'm sitting around talking, I might get it out and work on it," she said.
The finished product looks like an expensive imported belt, but can cost only a fraction of what someone might pay in a department store.
She also said that both of the stores would do all of the needlework for a larger fee.
Wittenauer said that at Sign of the Arrow, the materials and leather for a belt she was making had cost her $46. She said it was cheaper than another personalized belt would be since she printed her own pattern onto the canvas mesh.
Sign of the Arrow is a non-profit organization. All of the proceeds from the store are donated to various children's charities in the St. Louis area.
Another trend in make-it yourself accessories are beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets and ankle bracelets.
There are a variety of beads available made from glass, stone, semi-precious stones, horn, bone, metal, plastic and wood. The beads are strung onto leather, wire or beaders thread.
auclette Schwegman, Salina junior, who works at Beadraders Too, said that about half of their customers were University of Kansas students.
Beadtraders Too, 1017 1/2 Massachusetts St. is a popular place in Lawrence to find the materials to make them.
When she was looking for beads at the Sunflower International Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St., Anne Zajic, Beloit junior, said, "I couldn't decide what beads I wanted. I liked a necklace that I saw in the store already made, so I bought it."
She said that most people wanted to design their own jewelry, but they also sold kits that already had parts for the jewelry.
