The statement, sent to The Associated Press in Nicosia, Cyprus, by telex, could not be confirmed independently.
Saddam has been struggling to quell rebellions in the north and south that flared after his defeat by the allies in the Persian Gulf War. The fighting halted with a cease-fire a month ago.
President Bush said yesterday that it was unlikely that Saddam would remain in power for long because the Iraqi people were fed up with him.
“There’s enough dissent and disorder, but it appears the Iraqi citizens are trying to do something about this,” he told reporters in Bethesda. Md
Kurdish leaders reported gains in northern Iraq — but also heavy casualties. They said guerrillas rirkilled on an Iraqi air base near Kirkuk on Tuesday and captured two Soviet-

The Kurdistan Democratic Party said in a statement issued in London that the attack on the Khalid military air base was launched to stop the bombing of rebel held areas.

through the road to Amman from Aleppo.
In southern Iraq, where Saddam's forces largely have succeeded in putting down rebellions by Shite Muslims, hunger was a major emotion among thousands of refugees fleeing the war.
In the Iraqi border town of Safwan, food riots broke out yesterday as Saudi Arabian food trucks arrived.
"We tried to be organized, but the people are just too hungry," said Maju. Youssef Ali Albourt of the Saudi military "They see the food, and they go crazy."
No serious injuries were reported in the
rioting.
At the United Nations, a new Security Council resolution would hold Iraq liable for the environmental hailstorm caused by tactics such as dumping millions of gallons of oil in the Persian Gulf and setting Kuwait's oil wells alight.
The permanent members of the Security Council - the United States, Britain, France, China and the Soviet Union - met in private to refine their checklist of conditions the Baghdad government must meet before a permanent cease-fire is approved.

Volunteering students gain work experience
Volunteer work is way to get foot in door
By Jeannette Mueller Special to the Kansas
Special to the Kansan
Experience is one of the most marketable assets to have when looking for a job. And it may be easier to find than originally thought.
Excellent experience can be gained from working in a professional setting as a volunteer. Volunteering in the area of the career you may want to pursue is the most practical way of getting experience when it comes to building relationships with volunteers are paid, most are unpaid, but the experience is equally important to an employer.
The stereotypical idea of a volunteer does not apply here. The long list of volunteer jobs include financial services, marketing, advertising, work in district court, education, health services, computer programming as well as many others. Almost all volunteer agencies are an agency in need of skillful help from a knowledgeable college student.
The volunteer is expending time and effort which is greatly appreciated, and in return the agency or organization can answer questions, give referrals, and sometimes aid in career related decisions.
Lanaea Heine, director of the Roger Hill United Way Agency in Lawrence, said she placed 371 students this year and that a large percentage of them were seeking employment experience.
While working in an established professional setting, the volunteer is able to see and experience what they do not learn in the classroom.
Volunteering is becoming more and more important to corporations and industry. As public perception is increasingly important, they are beginning to view it as an integral part of their company structure. Large companies such as Lipton and Hallmark have both pledged their support to volunteering nationwide. Lipton, after its 100th birthday, held nationwide volunteer fests, employees at Hallmark are encouraged, but not required, to volunteer in the community. After the volunteer pledges 50 hours in a six-month period, the company donates $200 to that organization.
"If the community is strong, then the community will grow. Gil Olover, direc- tor of personnel at Hallman."
Companies will look favorably at a student who has proven that they believe in what the company believes in. Not only do they have an account with a dedication to the community they live in.
Just as it is now "in" to be environmentally conscious, volunteering is now considered stylish. Knowledge, education and experience never went out of style. Added together, the mix of qualities to take in an organization are necessary next guy and get you the job. Sell yourself, your talents and support the community that helped you. Volunteer for experience.
