NICOSIA, Cyprus — Iraq said to day that it has agreed to accept U.N demands and withdraw from Kuwait. Iraq also called for an immediate ceasefire in the 30 day old war that subjected Iraqs to relentless an attack

"In order to achieve a dignified and acceptable political settlement, the Revolutionary Command Council has decided to accept U.N. Security
Council resolution 660 of 1990, in including the clause related to tragi withdrawal, 'the communique said'
The statement, also released by the official Iraqi News Agency, said that the council's willingness "should be regarded as a guarantee from Iraq and coupled with an immediate aid to the people of Iraq and its military operations.
Resolution 600 was the first action taken by the United Nations after Iran's Ain2 invasion of Kuwait
The first of a series of resolutions it called for an unconditional Iraq withdrawal from the oil rich emirate
and urged the two countries to resolve their differences through negotiations.
The communique was issued a month after the U.S. led multinational force launched an air war aimed at forcing Iraq to relish
It came after what Iraq media said was at overnight session of the UN nuclear talks.
Also during the night, Baghdad was struck by the latest in a series of night raids, one of which damaged the headquarters of the county's ruling Arab Baath Social Party
Officials say air raids will not be stopped yet

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," said a senior military of fictional, 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 oc
cupied 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 troops withdrawal from Kuwait was actually in progress.

Students envision idealistic scenes for Valentine's day
By Jennifer Bach
Today, millions of people around the world will hear their doorbells chime, run to their front door, throw it open and receive a dozen long-stemmed, bright-red roses and a delicately wrapped heart-shaped box of chocolates.
They will put their roses in a vase, sit down, close the door and wait for the sweet cherry to drop on your shoulder.

Roses are red,
Valentine's Day is a time of year when many people hold at least one ideal gift or card.
This year on Valentine's Day,
I want my dreams to come true
Violets are blue.
Jenny Wadie, Omaha, Neb., junior, said that she loved roses but would prefer a gift of lilies.
"I if we going out with someone for a while, I would want him to write me a poem or something, something sentimental between the two of us," she said.
Wade's ideal Valentine's Day would include a little more time, effort and money.
"I would want him to pick me up in a
"I would like her to pick me up at dusk and take me to a park and have a candelight dinner with champagne, something time and space and her part," Toaal said.
Kevin Toal, St. Louis junior, said it was hard to describe what would be a perfect gift on Valentine's day because he, like many students, was used to giving, not receiving.

However, women are not the only ones who have fantasies about a romantic romance.
Beth Hagen, Lawrence junior, said she envisioned a more lively setting with millions of people around to help her celebrate the special day.

So continue to smell your roses, to eat
your candy and to dream. And whether
your Valentine's Day dreams take you to
the beach, a concert or a land far away,
may they all come true.
Last-minute gift hunting could prove troublesome
Special to the Kansan
So you're one of those people who puts off wearing Valentine's Day gifts until the last minute.
Well, the last minute is here.
But don't panic. There is still time to avoid the wrath of that special someone.
However, if your idea of the perfect view is a cardboard, you pad and have padded to choose from. You must have padded to choose from.
Steve Brown, owner and manager of Graffiti Cards & Gifts, 846 Massachusetts St. said that in his store, cards usually come out by the time Valentine's Day arrived.
"After we put them out, they go pretty
fast." "And once a shipment is
gave, it's gone."
Sharon Haupt, a sales clerk at Bowen's Hallmark Shop. @ MAassachusetts St. said, "I love the sense of community."
"If you wait that long, you'll probably have to take what we've got," she said.
But she had some good ideas for Vale-
tine's Day gifts that she thought would be
fresh and useful.
"You could get balloons, stickers, stuffed animals or a treat sack or mug filled with candy," she said. "Or you could buy gifts in boxes, boxes, things that we carry year-round."
Carole Morgan, a sales clerk at The Palace, Eighth and Massachusetts streets, suggested stationery, a romantic picture in a fancy frame or a gift box of soap, toiletries, perfume or powder.
She also said her store made and delivered balloon bouquets for Valentine's Day.
She said that even if someone waited unti-
t Valentine's Day to order one, the store pre-
tty much had no choice.
Roses are always a good gift, but at this late date they may be in short supply or not available.
If that's the case, you might want to consider buying less expensive flowers, such as carnations or daisies.
Brenda Shipley, an employee of Lawrence Floral & Gifts, 939 Massachusetts St. said that an arrangement of a dozen roses from her shop would cost at least $58 but that an arrangement of a dozen red and white carnations would cost $36. An arrangement of daisies would cost $17.50.
Or you could take the advice of Jan Moreno, an employee at The Palace, and give your loved one a bouquet of a dozen balloons decorated with pictures of roses.
"I think that's a great gift," she said.
"It's not as expensive as the real thing, but the person can still tell everyone they got a dozen roses for Valentine's Day."
Valentine's Day evokes many special memories
By Aimee Brainard
Special to the Kansan
The day began all wrong for Suzanne Weeks, Edina, Minn., sophomore. She woke up late in the morning after a long day of school, and then her psyched herself up to actually attend class.
As the day progressed, it seemed to get worse and worse. One of Weeks' worst nightmare finally had come true — her husband and friend had forgotten Vidal's Day.
"My boyfriend, Mike, had not even said so much as 'Happy Valentine's Day' to me," she said. "A biology test that hit him, Mike came up with my test to surprise him, but he missed me."
Although Valentine's Day in 1990 had a bad start, he would come her most
Weeks said that when her boyfriend finally caught up with her in the stairwell at her dorm, he gave her a dozen red roses and told her to pack a bar for the night.
"He blindfolded me and took me all over Lawrence," Weeks said. "We went up and down stairs, and finally he said, 'We're here,' and took the blindfold off my eyes.
"Mike had gotten a hotel room and, with the help of my roommate, had decorated the entire room with streamers, flowers, a cake, champagne and a huge heart-shaped balloon that said 'I love you' on it. He also rented a VCR and the movie 'Grease' and bought a huge bag of popcorn for us to eat during the movie.
"The best part about the whole thing was that it was such a surprise. He and my roommate had planned the whole thing out and had kept it from me for weeks."
Kelly Seavail, Littleton, Colo., senior,
said that her best Valentine's Day was during her freshman year.
Valentine's Day also is a holiday that brings special times for people who are not born on Valentine's Day.
Jennifer Carani, Deerfield, Ill., senior, said that her Valentine's Day was a little different than most other people's because it was a double holiday.
"My boyfriend, John, totally surprised me on that day by giving me my very first dozen roses," she said. "It wasn't the most beautiful of them, but it was romantic, and it made me feel so good."
"Valentine's Day is also my birthday, so it often gets overshadowed," Carani said. Growing up, I learned to love hearts, but in Valentine always made the day more special.
"But, for my 11th birthday, my most memorable Valentine's Day, my father surprised me. Early in the morning he sent me on an errand to the basement. When I was 10 years old, he put his 10-speed was waiting for me. It was my very first 10-speed and I cried."
Still, love is definitely in the air on Valentine's day, and certain inventive men such as Aaron Scharenbeng, Mapleton junior, are able to make the best of a bad situation.
Last year, Scharenberg was not going to be able to spend Valentine's Day with his girlfriend, so he did the next best thing. He surprised her and celebrated it a day early.
"I invited my girlfriend over to my dorm room at 11 p.m., and when she got there I had a dozen roses waiting for her," he said. "I had set my clocks ahead one hour, so she would not see me." I said, "Happy Valentine's Day." She was all surprised and it was awesome."
