United States warns Iraq to not invade
Troops put on alert as crisis escalates

WASHINGTON — The United States tapped at least 50,000 troops for duty in the Persian Gulf as administration officials warned Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein yesterday that any attack against Kuwait would be soundly defeated.
"It looks as though there is hostile intent," said United Nations Ambassador Madeleine Albright, pointing out that Iraq had massed 60,000 to 70,000 troops near Kuwait — some within miles of the border — and that tanks were positioned to "indicate hostility, rather than just parking there."
President Clinton interrupted a Columbus Day holiday weekend at Camp David and met for 90-minutes at the White House with his national security team.
The size of the U.S. force either in the region, en route there or on standby to go is nearly 50,000.
At the Pentagon, a senior Defense Department official said that in addition to 18,000 Marines from Camp Pendleton, Calif., who had been put on alert earlier, 12,000 members of the Army's 25th Infantry Division from Fort Stewart, Ga., also were alerted to prepare for duty in the Gulf.
"The main message ... to Saddam Hussein is, 'Do not make a mistake. Do not cross that border. Do not create circumstances that will force us to act,' Albright added in an interview on CNN's "Late Edition."
"We are not going to allow the mistakes of the past to be repeated," White House Chief of Staff Leon
During the next several days, administration officials said, about 180 U.S. warplanes and support aircraft will be in position around Kuwait, ready to unleash an airborne attack against any Iraqi armored units that might cross the border.
Panetta told NBC's "Meet the Press." He said Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein "shouldn't underestimate the resolve or the will of the U.S."
Asked about the Bush administration decision not to go after Saddam himself after defeating the Iraqi forces in Desert Storm, Panetta repeated, "I'm not going to go into the details of what a military mission might be if we have to face that fact, but I can tell you this: We're not going to repeat the mistakes of the past, either."

Violence program targets prevention
By Manny Lopez Kansan staff writer
Violence happens.
But this week KU police and other campus organizations and offices are doing their part during "Stop the Violence Week" to raise people's awareness of dangerous and potentially dangerous situations to try and prevent violence from happening.
Nationally, October is "Stop the Violence Month," and this week at KU, students will have the opportunity to learn how to spot, prevent and help friends and families deal with difficult situations ranging from rape to argu-
"Violence might not happen to you, but it might to a friend," said Officer Cindy Alliss of the KU police. "Our goal this year is to educate people with a positive attitude instead of focusing on statistics and violence."

Stop the Violence Week Activities:
Monday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Information tables at the Kansas Union, fourth floor lobby. Campus organizations and offices will be handing out pamphlets and answering questions about curbing violence.
One way to help stop the violence is to take a step back and look at how people interact with each other during and after arguments, Alliss said. Coming up with solutions, without

using violence was another thing Alliss said she hoped people would learn this week.
Today at the Kansas Union, the KU police, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Rape Victim's Survivor Service, the KU housing department, Promote Alcohol Responsibility Through You, the Scholarship halls, Student Senate and the Stouffer Place Neighborhood Association will be at informational tables answering questions and handing out pamphlets about dealing with all types of violence.
All week, displays will be set up on the fourth floor of the Union displaying information about alternatives to violence and a schedule of events for the week.
This is the first year KU has participated in the program. Alliss said KU's theme, "Be a friend, help each other," was chosen to get the program started on a positive note.
This month students can also participate in a national survey. Sunflower Cablevision, 644 New Hampshire St., is participating in the month-long national activities by including "Enough is Enough" ballots with monthly cable bills. The ballots will also be available at Sunflower's offices and at the Union.
Jan McNish, Sunflower Cablevision office manager, said the results of the survey would be collected and tallied by MTV to help establish nationwide opinions about violence and help with awareness.

Bronze sculpture celebrates water and importance in life
By Shannon Newton Kansan staff writer
To Craig Dan Goseym, water is necessary for survival and connects all people.
Goseyun's 8-foot bronze sculpture, "Water Carrier," is a form of the water vessel that generations of people have used.
Yesterday afternoon, the sculpture was given to Spooner Hall for its 100th birthday celebration.
Goseyun said many inspirations were involved in designing the sculpture for the centennial celebration.
"I wanted to create a multicultural design," he said. "I wanted it to be simple yet contain movement and be affective."
He said he had wanted to give the sculpture a humanistic quality of a feminine nature.
The idea of water is important in all cultures and societies because people need water to live, Goseyun said.
"Women have sustained life in our society by bearing children," he said. "In my culture, women are very important in ceremonies."
Goseyun is an Apache sculptor who lives in Santa Fe, N.M. He grew up on the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona.
Goseyun earned a degree in photography and three dimensional sculpture at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. While at the institute, he received the T.C. Cannon Award for outstanding student in the arts.
As an artist, Goseyun said he was strongly influenced by his grandfather, who was a medicine man on the reservation.
"He was in charge of the spirit and healing," he said. "He could see the past and the future."
On the reservation, Goseyun's grandfather created spiritual dances and made costumes for the dancers.
"The costumes had a lot of symbolism; the dances capture movement and show meaning," he said. "That's what I want to portray in my work."
Goseyun said it took him about a month to design the "Water Carrier."
Warnock talked about the hard work and accomplishment of creating the sculpture.
"It required blood, sweat and tears," he said. "We cast it in 18 to 20 pieces, then we welded it back together."
Warnock said the project allowed a lot of method and problem-solving techniques to form between him and his students.
"My students gave the sculpture all they had," he said, "and in the end, they produced something real."
Warnock, who spoke at the dedication ceremony, thanked those students that helped with the project.
He said, "It was the closest thing to magic that I have ever seen."
Regan Wheat, Lakin senior, worked on the sculpture with Warmock.
Chancellor Del Shankel accepted the sculpture for KU and thanked everyone involved in the project.
"I was lucky to have the opportunity to work on a project of such magnitude," she said. "I worked seven hours a day on the piece and was able to help produce something this beautiful."
"The students brought a dream to reality," he said.
Statue dedication marks Spooner Hall's 100th anniversary

First it was a library. Then it was an art museum. And now, 100 years after opening on the KU campus, Spooner Hall is home to the Museum of Anthropology.
Today Spooner, the oldest building on campus, celebrates its 100th anniversary.
As part of the centennial celebration, the Museum of Anthropology held a dedication yesterday of the "Water Carrier."
Shankel said the building was first dedicated on Oct. 10, 1894.
Carol Shankel, head of the Spooner Centennial Committee, spoke at the dedication about the history, the importance and the symbolism of KU's oldest surviving building.

Education isn't a business, faculty members say
Regents chairman says 'customers' come first
By David Wilson Kansan staff writer
Frank Sabatini, chairman of the Board of Regents, said in a speech to University Council that universities should operate more like businesses. But that idea didn't sit well with some faculty members of the Council.
Sabatini, a Topeka banker, outlined the Regents goals for the Council on Thursday. One goal, he said, was to measure the education students received at the University of Kansas and other Regents schools.
Sabatini said that a university, like a business, must be held accountable for the customers it serves, which are students and taxavers.
In response, some faculty members said education should not be measured the
same way a business measures its financial performance.
"I'm worried about the application of business terms," said Rolf Borchert, professor of physiology, cell biology and biological science. "How do we measure academic output?"
Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, professor of religion and chair of religious studies, agreed, adding that Sabatin's use of business metaphors had limitations.
"I don't have that view of education at all," she said. "Education is a process. It's an insult to call students consumers."
After the meeting, Zimdars-Swartz said students should not expect to plow down money and receive a product in return.
"Students have a role in their education," she said.
But Don Marquis, professor of philosophy, said he welcomed the idea of determining how much education students received.
"I sometimes wonder when I see graduates walk down the hill how much they know," he said.
John Davidson, professor of physics and astronomy, said research in philosophy and literature was just as important as research in pharmaceuticals and agriculture.
Another Regents goal questioned by faculty members was a proposed increase of university research beneficial to the state economy.
"I'm against the idea that if we can't make a buck on it, it's not any good," he said.
Other goals listed by Sabatini were preparing for enrollment increases at Regents schools, boosting cooperation between Regents schools and their local vocational and technical schools and revamping peer school comparisons.
Peer schools are a group of universities with similar enrollments and demographics. They are used to compare things such as faculty salaries and tuition rates.

The University's five peer schools are the University of Iowa, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Oregon, the University of Colorado and the University of Oklahoma.
"When we go before the legislature and present a budget based on peer comparisons, they are not buying those comparisons," Sabatini said. "We need to come up with other ways to show that faculty salaries need to be increased."
Sabatini said that when Kansas State University president Jon Wefald presented a budget based on peer school comparisons, one legislator said, "Can't you bring us something that makes more sense?"
Going before the legislature is made even more difficult when legislators hear stories about students being taught by graduate teaching assistants instead of professors, Sabatini said.
"Parents complain, and all of sudden we've got a negative legislator," he said.
