WASHINGTON - U.S officials said today that Baghdad radio's announcement that Iraq is willing to withdraw from Kuwait will not be enough to stop the Persian Gulf War.
"The campaign goes on. We're not going to change anything on the strength of a radio announcement, but we can do it superficial, speaking on condition of

Iraq's official radio aired an announcement this morning from Iraq's ruling Revolutionary Command Council headed by Saddam Hussein. The announcement said that Iraq agreed to U.N. demands that it leave Kuwait. But, the statement added, Iraq withdrawal should be linked to a pullout of allied forces from the region and an Israeli pullout from the occupied territories.
Another Pentagon official also reacted cautiously, saying, "We have to wait and see. My reaction is more of relief than surprise."
President Bush and other U.S. officials have said since the war began that the fighting would stop only when a massive Iraqi troop withdrawal from Kuwait was actually in progress.

In spite of the commotion Howland has sparked from her harmless gesture, not much is known about her. Only the New York media associates her with Valentine's Day.
If you do not like Feb 14, you can blame it on Howland, but leave St. Valentine out of it.
Special to the Kansan
Actually the origin of Valentine's Day is quite unromantic; even the history books are not certain how it evolved into a commercial event over the years. According to the "Folklore of American Holidays," the day commemorates two Christian martyrs whose life who were persecuted in the third century by Roman Emperor Claudius II.

This hyped-up holiday has grown rapidly in recent years. Consequently, it leaves many single people feeling left out and many couples with empty pocketbooks.

Wilson was not alone in her Valentine's Day condemnation. Many other students fail to see its validity.
"I think it's overrated," said Jean Wiley, Independence sophomore. "I get sick of lovey-doveyness. It makes my stomach churn."
Steve Walje, Overland Park junior, also thought the day was overemphasized.

Some students dread the day like the plague.
"Valentine's Day looms over the horizon like a black toxic cloud," said Sara Callen, Overland Park junior. "It's just waiting to attack all the single people."
Although many people will celebrate this holiday solo, there is a bright side.
"There is too much emphasis on romance. It doesn't have to mean that," said Chris Case, Lawrence sophomore and the only student about having a boyfriend or a girlfriend."
