Relief.
This was the most common student reaction upon hearing last night's news about the possible end of the Persian Gulf War.
Craig Pannell, Goddard senior,
said that was exactly how he felt
when he watched President Bush's
speech on television last night.
"It's like a movie," he said. "You feel tense and on the edge, and when it is finally over, you can let out a sigh of relief."
'I'm not getting my hopes up until Sudan Hussein has fulfilled the request.'
Wait, it's a single word.
I'll just use it as it appears in the image.
"I'm not getting my hopes up until Sudan Hussein has fulfilled the request."
Sara Harrington, Leawood freshman, agreed.
But Bill Bailow, Lake Jackson,
Texas, graduate student, was not
ready to let out that sigh quite vet.
"Winning was the game, but nobody predicts beyond that," he said. "My biggest question is, 'What is going to happen when the war ends? What happens the day after Saddam surrenders?'"
Although he was relieved that the
war seemed to be over, Chris Bramich, Overland Park junior, said he was still wary.
"It's kind of a cautious celebration" he said
Bryan McFadden, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said that he was relieved that the war had come to an end and that he was not sure what to expect afterward.
"The only question I have is what Saddam's power will be after the war," he said.
However, several KU students felt reassured that the war had finally come to an end.
Lisa Lewis, Topeka third-year law student, was one of those students.
"I don't think he (President Bush) would have come on TV and said that if he didn't feel that it was over," she said. "It's good news and I am glad to hear it."
The news pleased Beth Bolskey, Hutchinson senior, as well.
"I was happy that the war was as short as it was," she said. "The sooner we can get our troops home the better."
Because so many students have
"I'm glad it's over," said Amy Elliott, Lincoln, Neb., junior. "I think it's time we get everyone back home safe."
When William White, Kansas *au*, Mo., sophomore, heard the news of the cease-fire last night, he thought it would that Saddam Hussein gave up.
friends, family members or acquaintances who are in the Persian Gulf, they expressed relief that the troops would be coming home soon.
"He's like a child who is playing a game and wants to quit when he is not winning," White said.
Alcey Hernandez, Parker, Ariz.
 junior, was at the Kansas Union with
her 6-year-old daughter. Courtney,
she said she heard the news about
the war.
"I guess Bush will be really proud of himself now." she said
Her daughter, thinking as so many U.S. citizens did, said, "I didn't think we should have a war. I don't know really what the war is about."
Kansan reporters Lara Gold and Nedra Beth Randolph contributed information to this story.
