Bush condemns Iraqi actions
Iraq refusing to cooperate with U.N., labels detained inspectors CIA spies
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Iraq yesterday detained 44 U.N. inspectors for the second day in a row and accused them of being CIA spies as the crisis concerning Iraq compliance with U.N. law appeared to be coming to climax.
Troops surrounded the inspectors who parked their cars in a circle to protect themselves and the videotapes of documents said to show details of their nuclear weapons program, its foreign suppliers and top Iraqi directors.
President Bush condemned Baghdad's "unacceptable behavior," and warned Saddam Hussein not to miss what he did during the Persian Gulf War.
"We don't want to see any more anguish inflicted on the Iraqi people, but overriding that is the international community's determination that
these resolutions be fully complied with," Bush said in New York.
Saddam Hussein
The U.N. Security Council demanded that Iraq release the inspectors before an emergency council
meeting last night. The council also demanded the Iraqis agree to allow U.N. helicopter flights to search for weapons in Iraq without restriction.
The Security Council's president, French Ambassador Jean-Bernard Merimee, declined to speculate on if the Iraqis did not meet the demands.
The United States and its allies have warned that Iraq's refusal to cooperate could force the council to authorize the use of troops and warplanes to protect U.N. teams inside Iraq.
Iraqst two letters to Merimee yesterday afternoon complaining about the behavior of the inspectors, in paranormal circumstances and the helicopter light issue.
Merrimee refused to accept the second Iraqi letter, which apparently did not fully commit Iraq to cooperate with the council's resolutions. The Iraqi delegation left last night to redraft the letter.
At a news conference in Baghdad, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tarqi Aziz accused the leader of the U.N. team of being "an officer of the U.S. intelligence service," the official Iraqi News Agency reported.
David Kay, the U.S. head of the U.N. nuclear team in Baghdad, called the charge "completely ridiculous and untrue." Pentagon press secretary Pete Williams called it a "ludicrous allegation."
As for Iraq charges that they had "trouble" from his team, Kay said that if his team had a problem "it is because we are very close to finding
out the true scope and nature of the Iraqi program."
On Monday, Kay's U.N. team was detained for 12 hours in a Baghdad building after finding what they said was evidence that Iraq had been trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iraqi officials said they indicted some were returned early yesterday, U.N. officials said key documents were missing.
When the inspectors began their work yesterday, using a video camera at a building of the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission, they found documents that gave a fuller picture of its secret nuclear program, detailing the facilities that supplied nuclear materials. Kay said.
But Iraqi troops surrounded the U.N. team and refused to let it take away papers and film of documents gathered in the unannounced search. The investigators would not be allowed to leave unless they surrendered the material.

Deficit nears all-time high of $300 billion
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—With just a week left in the fiscal year, the federal budget deficit is headed for a new record approaching $300 billion, government and private analysts agree.
The Treasury Department reported Monday that the deficit rose $42.7 billion in August, increasing the imbalance for the first 11 months of fiscal 1991 to $260.9 billion.
"It fits with a yearly deficit of between $260 billion and $265 billion," said economist Marilyn Schagh of Donaldson, Lafkin & Jennette Securities Corp. in New York. If so, that would on the previous record of $221.1 billion set in 1986.
Director Richard Darman of the Office of Management and Budget said in an ABC-TV interview on Sunday that the deficit would be about $284 billion. The Congressional Budget Office said in its midyear review in July the deficit would total $279.0 billion.
Although the August deficit was 19.1 percent less than the shortfall during the same month in 1990, the imbalance so far this year was 8.2 percent larger than the $241.2 billion shortfall during the first 11 months of last year.
Although the gap between spending and revenues after the first 11 months of 1990 topped the 1986 record, the deficit dropped the following month to close fiscal year 1990 with a $220 billion gap.
About $25 billion of the August 1990 imbalance had reflected a shift of payments normally made in September, such as military pay and Social Security checks, to the previous month to avoid Labor Day weekend delays. That amount thus was not included in the September expenditures.
Government operations in past Septembers often resulted in a surplus.
Revenue so far this year totaled $944.9 billion, up 1.9 percent from the same period of 1990. But spending jumped 3.1 percent, to $1.2 trillion, over the first 11 months of last year.
Receipts included $1.3 billion in contributions from allied nations to help pay for gulf war expenses, down from $2.2 billion in July. So far this year, contributions have totaled $42.4 billion.
Interest on the national debt amounted to $19.1 billion for the month and $286.3 billion so far this year. It is projected to total $286.3 billion for the entire year.
As usual, the biggest spending categories were the military, Social Security and other programs of the Department of Health and Human Services, and interest on the national debt.

Kidnappers release hostage after 865 days
The Associated Press
DAMASCUS, Syria — In another breakthrough in the hostage crisis, kidnappers freed 79-year-old Briton Jack Mann yesterday after holding him for 865 days, and a Shiite Muslim leader said a U.S. hostage could soon follow.
Walking painfully and stooped over, Mann was led by officials intoa packed conference at the Syrian Foreign Ministry, where he angrily denounced his captors for chaining him and ordering him around.
"This morning I started another dreadful day. ... I wondered how many more months I've got to stay. ... I wondered how much longer, how much longer, how much longer. Wondering how many more months I've lived. ... The first World War II pilot said in a hoarse, anugnished whisper.
"My voice has gone after two and a half years of chaining, of saying: Do this, do that. Don't do that!" or "Be quiet!" Mann said, banging his hand on a table to illustrate the orders from his kidnapers.
Asked whether he had any news of
the other hostages, Mann said,
"Noneatall."
As he was led from the room, he appeared dazed and disoriented by the bright television lights.
Earlier yesterday, Prime Minister John Major of Britain said he had heard that Mann was somewhat unwell, and a 10 Downing Street representative said the government had about reports of Mann's health.
But it was not known whether Mannwassick.
The release of Mann by his pre-iRoman kidnappers in Lebanon yesterday kept up the momentum established with three of Western hostages in August.
Panelists at forum discuss rape issues
He started to continue, but British Ambassador Andrew Green interrupted.
In all of 1990, only five Westerners were released in Lebanon.
At one point, Mann began a long explanation of how he was kidnapped in Beirut, but Green again cut him off when he started to meander. Mann sat quietly while officials made speeches.
Women in 'Campus Rape' film talk about the lasting impact rape has on their lives
By Rochelle Olson Kansan staff writer
One of six college women has been the victim of rape or attempted rape, said Susan Dey in the video "Campus Rape."
Dey, a star of the TV show "L.A. Law," was a host in the film shown at a forum sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center last night at the Big Eight Room in the Kansas Union.
Women in the video told stories
books taped by acquaintances
and advertisers.
One woman was raped by a classmate who had offered to tutor her in
"I had always considered myself strong," the woman said. "But all of the sudden, I realized there was nothing I could do to get this man off."
She said it simply was not enough to say no.
The women in the film stressed the impact the raps had on their lives.
One rape survivor said, "What peo
pi don't realize is how much longa
rhythm."
A panel of five students responded to the video and answered questions posed by Barbara Ballard, director of the Museum of Art, and the audience of about 30 people.
"Do what you need to do to take care of yourself." Danoff-Burg said.
Sharon Danoff-Burg, Lawrence graduate student in psychology and a panelist, said that women must learn to trust their instincts.
"I wish that it could be so easy that we could tell women to say no and say it loudly and you'll be okay," Danoff-Burg said.
The bottom line is that men must stop raping women, she said.
If a friend tells you that she has been raped, you should not take away more of her power by forcing her to report the incident, Danoff-Burg said.
Rape often steals a woman's sense of power, she said.
"Tell your friend that you're glad that she's OK and glad she's alive." Danoff-Burg said. "Because rapa is a life-threatening situation."
Ballard asked the students on the panel if a man who had been drinking was less responsible for his actions than if he were sober.
Scott Rutherford, Lawrence senior,
said that the man was definitely respon-
sible.
"I he can control himself when he is drinking, then he should be drinking," he said.
Ballard said the purpose of the
national issue of personal assaults
Acquaintance and date rape occur more frequently than rape by strangers, she said.
Ballard said that rape victims often were blamed for the crime and that rape victims were also a target.
"No one deserves to be sexually assaulted" is one of the themes of the sexual-assault prevention and education program at the Women's Resource Center.
Scott Baron, Prairie View, Ill., freshman, came to the forum to earn extra credit for a psychology course surprised by how much he learned.
"I found out I was pretty much clueless about what there is to know about rape," Baron said.

KU graduate Hal Sandy of Shawne Mission created Sandy Jayhawk in 1946. He sold Jayhawk decals to pay for his education.
"We decided to tie everything together and show a little Jayhawk spirit," Felling said.
"It was my idea to draw the Jayhawk, prompted by Ed Browne, then director of public relations, who suggested the need for a friendly Jayhawk instead of a mean looking one, " he said.
Sandy Jayhawk is celebrating its 45th anniversary. Shown here are Jayhawk designs from 1910, 1920, 1923, 1929, 1941 and the present.
