Cease-fire halts gulf war
Iraq agrees to abide by all Security Council resolutions
The Associated Press
BAGHADD — An Iraqi military official ordered Iraqi troops to stop all fighting in the Persian Gulf War during a Baghdad radio address.
The order came hours after Iraqi diplomas said they had promised the United Nations that Iraq would honor UN Security Council resolutions on the warulf.
President Bush had called last night for a temporary cease-fire that would become permanent if Saddam Hussein honored the resolutions.
The Iraqi military official told Baghdad radio listeners that Bush's order would spare the battered country further losses.
"President Bush ordered to suspend military operations," the official said. "We are happy for the haunted family." We ask our sons and grant the safety of our
"Therefore, orders were issued to all our men in the battlefront not to open fire."
Iraiq diplomats said the U.N. letter was addressed to the Security Council and Secretary-General Javier Quiros, the chief of Iraqi Foreign Minister, Tariq Aziz.
Bush said last night that a permanent cease-fire would depend upon Iraq's compliance with U.N. resolutions and all anilisers and Kuwaiti detainees.
"This suspension of offensive combat operations is contingent upon Iraq's not firing upon any coalition forces and not launching Scud missiles against any other country." Bush said. "If Iraq violates these terms, coalition forces will be free to resume military operations."
The end of the fighting, if it holds,
came exactly 100 hours after allied
forces launched their ground attack and six weeks after allies began their relentless bombardment that left the Iraqi army unwilling to fight.
"Kuwait is liberated. Iraq's army is defeated," Bush said. "Our military objectives are met Kuwait is free from attacks, in control of their own destiny."
Bush decided to call off the fighting after determining that pursuing it further would lead to unnecessary warfare and less secretary Marlin Fitzwater said.
The president pointed to Saddam as the source of Iraq's devastation as he included a message to the Iraqi people in his address, "You, the people of Iraq, are not our enemy. We do not seek your destruction. We have treated your prisoners of war with kindness."

Lt. Col. Bill Fargo was watching CNN in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, when President Bush announced a ceasefire in the Persian Gulf War last night.
Fargo was surprised. But he did not allow the news to raise his hopes too high.
"There's just a cease-fire," Fargo said. "It doesn't mean that war is over. But it's nice that it’s getting closer to the end."

As the announcement of a cease fire signaled the apparent end of the Persian Gulf War, a forum of six professors discussed the past, current and future policy of the United States in the region.
Members of the forum express their concern that the phrase "sug port our troops" had been misco ured as "support the policy" an that real support for the troop was not only when the troop came home.
"We have nothing to gain by an further humiliation of the people e Iraq." he said. We need him. "We hope he will hope you better. Future is to make it better.

Spring break is opportune time for car care, servicing
By Kirk Ludlow
Many travelers are considering driving instead of flying because of the threat of terrorism, but too many travelers will wait until a new fixture to schedule an oil change or a tune-up.
It is difficult to concentrate on studies with spring break drawing near. But before you make those hotel reservations or that eternal list of things to do, there is one thing that should be foremost on the mind of any automobile owner. Car care.
Those who are staying in Lawrence will have extra time to do those chores neglected all winter. Tires, oil, coolant and spark plugs can infiltrate innumerable necessities often overlooked.

Ray Eckert, owner of Ramada Standard, 2216 W. 6th St., said he understood the migration pattern of the students and said he geared up for those key days prior to break. He said he frequently scheduled extra workers to handle the avalanche of soon-to-bearlers the last few days before spring break. After servicing Lawrence for 14 years, Eckert has come to know and appreciate the times when school is in session.
Eckert said he was content with business
"The difference is noticeable, but not substantial." Eckert said.
"Anytime is a good time to schedule a tune-up or oil change, but when the students have finished their lesson, you can leave."
"Our mechanical capabilities are quite extensive. We do troubleshooting and general maintenance."
Eckert said he was confident of the capabilities of his two ASE certified engineers. He added Jackson
Jackson has worked for Eckert for 11 years. Jackson said that proper maintenance will improve the system.
"A tune up or oil change can pay for itself after a long tank fill," he said. "Even an oil pump can cost."
Those people who live in Lawrence also take advantage of the times when students are on break. Consequently, business at the service stations around Lawrence does not stop during the seasonal breaks, but merely relaxes.
The service stations are one facet in the gamut of Lawrence commerce. For those business people who are kept busy by the university students, the dormant periods are the times for them to take care of their automotive needs.
