Earthquake kills more than 300 in northern Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — One of the strongest earthquakes to hit Egypt in modern times topped 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.
schools.
Many victims were trampled 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
Rescuers struggled into the night to dig 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 wafat-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 about 15 people were pulled out alive before nightfall, including mother Samia Rogab Khali.
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 Aby 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 stamped from a collapsing school in Shubra, a poorer Cairo district.
Abdel-Aziz said most schoolchildren were casuals 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 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.

Easy-going, relaxed fit defines mens' fashion
By Todd Seligert
Special to the Kansan
"You can see people coming from different locations all over the United States and when they come in, they kind of bring their own style with them."
"That's one thing with a college town," said Greg Schroeder, manager of The Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., a men's and women's clothing store in Lawrence.
From tie-dyed shirts to Docker stacks, you can see almost every men's fashion style imaginable just by walking down Jayhawk Boulevard.
Regardless of the look that men are trying to achieve, one criteria must be met: clothes have to be comfortable.
"More people are into the more relaxed look," said Steve Williams, Shawnee freshman. "I think that these days, less people care what they look like. They like to be more easy-going."
Schroeder said that there were many ways men could achieve the look they wanted and still be comfortable. One of the most popular looks he noticed was the rugged, outdoor look. He said that flannels, jeans and different styles of boots were just some of the things that helped make up the look.
There are, of course, other items that are popular for men this fall.
"suk shirts come to be more popular these days and woven shirts are not," said
Dan Ward, senior men's merchandiser for J.C. Penney, 1801 W. 23rd St. "Denim is still a strong item because it's more casual. Cottons are popular now too."
Ward said that Dockers items such as slacks, shorts and shirts were popular in his store because they presented a more causal but dressed up look, while being more comfortable.
The casual look has come on big time, even in offices. Ward said.
Besides the comfort of the clothes they wear, men also say that color is important for the fall.
Craig Henry, Owasso, Okla, senior,
said, "like bright colors. I know I want
colors that are not as boring."
Schroeder said he agreed that colors were important for men's fall fashions. He said men favored a wide array of colors, from blues to greens to purples.
"We what we call the jewel tones, the deep colors, are popular," he said. "We're doing a lot more with solid colors that you can put ties with or you can use to layer something over with."
Schroeder said that despite the popularity of the 'relaxed look', it was hard to put a label on a definite style for the men for fall.
Schroeder said that one reason for the popularity of silk shirts was that brighter colors could be used with them.
“it's kind of like everybody's almost doing their own thing.” Schroeder said
ARENSBERG'S SHOES One step ahead!
Quality footwear for the whole family since 1958

Ties are no longer for the conservative businessman Women buy ties for themselves, not just as band and wife come in and she loved a tie, but her husband detested it. She bought it for herself.

Tie the designer Gene Meyer from New York found that the demand for the ties he makes was coming from women who were buying them, not for boyfriends, husbands, and fathers, but for themselves.
That tall dark and handsome person in a crisp white shirt, dark wool blazer and a silk abstract tie could be Mr. Right.
Of course, Lawrence may not be New York, but as far as ties go, Lawrence is not too far off the in the fashion scene.
Women buy ties for themselves, not just as gifts for men anymore
But with this year's fashion trend in ties, it could also be Ms. Right. The popular abstract ties are being worn by women as well as men.
He said that the wilder patterns and colors worked well for men as well as women because they matched a lot of different shirts. He also said that men and women did not have the same taste.
"The wilder the better," Randle said. "One women bought a tie that looked really good with a tuxedo front shirt."
Craig Randle, store manager of Hunters, 919 Massachusetts St., said that he had sold a few of his ties to women.

For example, Randle said that he had a bus.
Still, a majority of the tie purchasers are men and fashion trends for the fall seemed to be a down-scaled version of the geometrical designs.
"Ties accent the personality of the wearer," he said, who wears a tie with sailboats all over it.
"A year ago the geometric shapes on ties were three inches tall and now they are only 3/4 of an inch tall. It was overkill," tie designer Bert Pulitzer said in a New York Times fashion story.
Some students tell others about their personalities and hobbies with novelty ties, said Alan Hicks, Webster Groves, Mo., graduate student.
Richard Swartzel, Lawrence senior agrees, "I like burgundy power ties with small stripes or designs, not the big wide ties with big designs."
"What's really popular are the novelty ties," said Sandra Lembock, store manager at Geoffrey Beene. "We had a fish tie that was really cool, but we sold out."
At Geoffrey Beene, J Riverfront Plaza, the jacquard print is one of the most popular ties sold. It has one design placed over another, giving the tie texture, said Michael Ryon, floor supervisor.
"It's more of the abstract geometrics, the oil washes and the ink washes that are coming into fashion," he said.
