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 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 the rushed from swaying
schools.
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 Safawat el-Sherif said major monuments survived the 20-second tremor.
The quake was preceded by a roar.
"At first I thought it was a bomb in the bank," said Samy Mohamed Ali, a lawyer. "Then I saw people running, and I realized it was an earthquake.
People thronged in Cairo's streets after the quake. Many seemed dazed. One woman stood on a sidewalk screaming. A knot of people sat in a
downtown square, tears streaking
downtheir cheeks.
Thousands crowded around the ruins of a 14-story apartment building in the northern suburb of Heliopolis late yesterday while four bulldozers cleared debris under floodlights.
An ambulance worker said about 15 people were pulled out alive before nightfall, including mother Samia Rogab Khalil.
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.

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.
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 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.

Hairstylists agree, 'soft' is in
By Kara Lynch
Special to the Kansan
If you are a woman who is scrunch-drying you hair, you are out of style. And for men, the really short-on-top, long-in-back hair-cuts are also out.
Soft. That is what hair is all about this year. The hair experts are not dictating length; there is still plenty of choice in short, medium and long hair styles. But whatever the length, the trend is toward softer permanents and softer cuts around the face.
"We haven't had many women this year asking for a Demi Moore haircut," said Dickie Hildrebrand, member of the Kansas Hair Fashion committee and Education Director at Sidney's Hairdressing school in Hutchinson.
that was popular a year or two ago," she said. "Women are still going short, but now they want it cut around their face, for a rounded, layered effect.
"For women with medium length hair, the stacked bob is popular. And for long hair, the same softness continues by having you hair stylist layer it around your face; kind of the Farrah look again."
Farrah Fawcett and her full, layered blond hair became a huge success as one of the stars of "Charlie's Angels," at television series popular in the 1970s. Fawcett's haircut might be in, but her dramatic streaked highlights are not.
Stanko says that for men, the long, straight, one-length cut is still popular, as are pony tails. But he has his own predictions about where fashion should and will be heading
"I call those the highlights form hell," said Johnmy Stanko, stylist at Hair, Inc., 1031 Vermont St. Also out, according to Stanko, are the bold pink colors.
soon.
"The Rod Stewart, surfer shaggyness should come in sometime soon," he said. "Right now all the guys have their hair all the same length. Once everyone has the same look, it's time to change again. It's been a while since the shaggy look was in."
Most stylists agree that European fashions greatly influence the fashion trends in the United States Hildrebrand said Hollywood also influenced the kinds of haircuts people ask for.
"This year, no single Hollywood star has been much of a strong influence in hair trends, but I do see a lot of women coming in wanting haircuts that look like soap opera actresses," she said. "Guys, on the other hand, are more likely to want haircuts that look like television wrestlers and muscle men."
Matt Cohen, Lawrence graduate student, tried to look like a band member from INXS by perming the top of his hair and cutting the sides short, when he was in high school.
"I thought the look was kind of interesting, but some people thought I looked like my sister" he said.
Not everyone is a slave to fashion trends, though. And not everyone wants to look like a star. Some people decide on a haircut because it is flattering to their facial features. Others find certain haircuts more convenient.
Christine Henseler, Lecompton senior, began wearing her hair short long before it was the fashionable thing to do.
"I spend a lot of time in Germany, and over everyone wears their hair short." Henseler said. "For me, though, short hair is easier, especially for sports. I'm just used to it."
