Saddam promises Iraqi resistance to 'no-flv' zone
NEWS:864-4810
The Associated Press
BAGHADH, Iraq — Iraqi President Saddam Hussein vowed yesterday to resist the "no-fly" zone imposed over southern Iraq by U.S.-led allies, but he offered no specific actions his government might take.
It was the first statement from Saddam himself about the flight ban imposed Thursday to protect Shiite Muslim rebels from air attacks by Iraq's military. The comments, which were read in Saddam's name on Iraq radio, restated her defiant statement by Iraq officials and news media.
In the 50-minute statement, Saddam
claimed that the allies were plotting to partition Iraq, then the rest of the Arab world and seize control of their oil wealth. He accused Iran, which is predominantly Shite, of inciting the allies.
In Washington, Walter Kansteiner, a White House representative, denied wanting to breakup Iraq. He said the action was taken because a U.N. resolution barring repression of the Iraqi people had been violated by Saddam's campaign to crush the Shite rebellion that began after his defeat in the Gulf War.
"We're out to partition the country; we're out to get Iraq to comply
with the U.N. resolution," Kansteiner said
Despite Saddam's wow to respond to bold aggression, Baghdad has so far made no signs of breaking the "nofly" zone, which applies to all of Iraq south of the 32nd parallel.
Senior U.S. military officers have said that they do not expect Iraq to strike at allied air patrols because the situation could escalate quickly beyond Saddam's control. The allies have warned that they will shoot down any Iraqi aircraft that enters the zone.
The allies established a similar "safe haven" for Iraq's Kurdish minority in
the north last year after Iraqi troops crushed an uprising by the Kurds following the Gulf War.
Saddam insisted the Iraqi leadership was determined to reject the bold aggression and confront it with all available means.
Senior Iraqi officials have raised the possibility of ending cooperation with U.N. weapon inspections or U.N. humanitarian efforts. U.N. officials said yesterday that a new U.N. nuclear weapons team planned to go to Baghdad today, which would be the first such visit since the "no-fly" zone took effect.
Lt. Gen. Michael Nelson, commander of U.S. military forces in the Persian Gulf, said the allies had not seen any significant activity by Iraqi ground troops arrayed against the Shiite rebels who are operating out of the vast marshes of southern Iraq.
But President Bush's national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, said the United States had detected signs of preparation for a ground offensive. Scowcroft declined to specify how the allies might respond to such an offensive, but he seemed to hint that Bush would order a military attack.
"I don't want to speculate, but we're
flying over there for a reason," Scowcroft said.
Iraq and some other Arab governments have in recent days warned that the air ban could lead to the partition of Iraq into three sections, with the Kurds in control of the north, the Shiites in the south and Saddam's Sunni Muslim-dominated government only in the central region.
Such a split could encourage other minorities in the region to seek independence from their central governments and ultimately carve up some of the Arab world along sectarian and ethnic lines.

Delavs continue in condo construction

Residents wanting to move Friday into the new College Hill Condominiums, 927 Emery Road, faced another delay because construction was not completed.
After a 21-day delay because of summer rains, residents will be able to move into the 12-unit condominium building today if the city issues an occupancy permit, said Mike Garber, job superintendent.
The delay was caused when construction crews had to reinforce Sheetrock of all perimeter walls in each condominium, Garber said. The Sheetrock was attached by glue and had to be re-attached with nails because of Housing and Urban Development requirements.
Other delays included work on the entry to the driveway and fixing the fire-sprinkler system after an explosion in the water line, he said.
The building failed the initial inspection Friday for an occupancy permit, which the city issues after inspecting buildings to ensure they meet city safety codes and building plans. The building must have a permit before anyone can move furniture in or stay in it. Garber said.
But the residents in the other apartment do not have permission from the city, Garber said.
He said that failing the first inspection was common and that it allowed contractors to correct any deficiencies. Another inspection is scheduled for 10 a.m. today.
"There were a few deficiencies, which is normal," he said.
Despite the failed inspection, residents of two units on the third floor moved furniture in during the weekend. People in one of the condominiums received the city's permission because of special circumstances, Garber said.
Garber gave residents from Colorado permission to move in furniture after talking with them and after they showed up at the building with furniture, he said.
Because the other residents did not have permission from the city, he said there was a chance of not getting the permit.
Lee Page, Prairie Village senior, said it was unfair that those residents' dominiums were ready for move in because they were from out-of-state. In Page's unit yesterday afternoon, crews worked to finish painting the staircase and electrical outlet pads the floor, and electrical outlet pads still needed to be installed.
Page said he was somewhat upset about all the delays.
But Garber said the city probably would not refuse to issue the permit because of furniture in the one room.
"If they are running that late, hire extra people," he said.
Although the College Housing Group, the Roanoke, Texas, firm financing the project, will not have to compensate the building's residents any longer if they pass the inspection today, it will continue compensation for residents of the other condominium, Building A.
Page has been commuting from Prairie Village and staying at friends' homes in Lawrence.
Shon Parsons, Gardner sophomore, said he and his three roommates were moving from the Days Inn hotel, 2309 Iowa Street, to Holiday Apartments. They plan to stay there until next semester when they will move into the condominium.
Building A will not be ready until mid-November. Garber said.
The rent at Holiday Apartments is slightly higher than what they currently are paying. The College Housing Group is paying the difference in price.
Group devises allocation plan
By Stacy Morford
Kansan staff writer
When the Dr. Seuss Club wanted to rent "The Cat in the Hat" video series last spring, its members asked the Student Senate Finance Committee for money.
But if Senate approves a new plan for financing clubs and organizations, some Dr. Seuss Club members may be on Jayhawk Boulevard next semester asking the students instead.
"We don't think it's fair that organizations have to come to Senate and ask for money," said Ena Wheeler, of the Coalition for Student Responsibility, the group that started the push for change. "We want to see power back in the hands of the people."
Senate gave the seven-member research committee, headed by Wheeler and Kurt Broeckelmann, architecture senator, until November to devise a workable system for students to individually allocate their $25 activity fees.
In Wheeler's version of the plan, students would be issued a ballot during registration that would list those student groups and organizations eligible for activity fee funds. Students could check off the clubs and organizations they want their fees to support.
"It's the student's $25." Wheeler said. "I have great confidence in students that they'll put it where it's right."
"The way it done now, it assumes that students aren't bright enough or capable enough to manage their own money, that's just not so."
Mauerei said the hardest part in changing the process would be creating a plan acceptable both to the students and to Senate.
"There was at least 99.9 percent opposition in the Senate when they first heard our idea." Wheeler said. "At this point, some still have opposition, but at least they're willing to hear us."
A bill for student allocation of activity fees was presented to Senate in March, but it was withdrawn for further research by Wheeler's committee.
Brad Garlinghouse, student body president, said he agreed with the plan in theory but did not believe it would work in practice.
Garlinghouse said he believed Senate should retain its allocation power so programs that are necessary and important to students would receive

enough money to be effective
"We need to ensure that the staple services, such as Watkins Health Center and Student Legal Services are funded," Garlandhouse said.
"Think about college students," he said. "If they look down a list and see 'Transportation', then 'Dr. Seuss Club' what do you think they'll do? Especially since they already paid $40 for a bus pass. If we don't give the buses enough, which they won't, then what do we do? Shut down the bus system?"

Vegged out
Whether it be for health concerns or just a matter of taste, more students at the University of Kansas attend the College.
But when students decide to forego meat, there are some aspects of proper nutrition to consider.
