Officials say air raids will not be stopped yet
The Associated Press
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, so I'm speaking on condition of official, speaking on condition of
anonymity.
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, Iraqi withdrawal should be linked to a pullout of allied forces from the region and an Israeli pullout from the ocea
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.

Strategies exist for meeting valentines
Last year, Andrea Katzman hated Valentine's Day. She complained about the "awful" holiday and dressed in black to look like she was in mourning.
She didn't have a valentine and hated Valentine's Day so much she expressed her feelings to a reporter. The result was unexpected.
By Stephanie Patrick Special to the Kansan
When they heard of her plight, friends and others who empathized with Katzman sent her cards and flowers to make her feel better. When she left, she her out for a friendly, but platonic, dinner.
"I can still pretend to hate Valentine's
Day as long as it works and I keep getting
better."
That friendly gesture soon developed into something more. This year, Katzman, Lawrence senior, and her best friend, Steven Jacobson, are valentines.
Katzman and Jacobson, Morton Grove, ill, senior, have no set plans for Valentine's Day. But Katzman admits her attitude toward the big day is getting better.
Although Katzman's story has a happy ending, he remains. How does one find valentine?
While Stein and Debbie Gillespie, Overland Park freshman, met in Oliver, they remained only friends until they took up to a haunted house with mutual friends.
"You are going to meet people from emerald, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said.
"We started talking at the haunted house and I really got to know her." Stein said. "Shh. I'm a little nervous."
The residence halls are the best places to meet people, according to Jason Stein, who has spent much of his career in the
Stein said he planned to cook a romantic Valentine's Day dinner for Gillespie, complete with steak and a heart-shaped cake for dessert.
Lydia Schmidt, Lawrence junior, said that when looking for a romantic partner, it was important to look for a friend first.
"Look closely at your friends," Schmidt said. "The person you are most likely to marry is usually right under your nose."
Schmidt knows. In September she married her friend and valentine. Kevin.
The couple met in 1968 when Kevin Schmidt hired her to be a restaurant cashier. It was not until a mutual friend played matchmaker for them at a party that they started seeing each other as more than just friends.
"My friend kept telling me that we would make a good couple," she said. "We've been together as a couple from then on. I wanted to carry him and he says he wanted to marry me."
Kevin proposed on Lydia's birthday in 1989, three days after Valentine's Day.
Marsha Davis also adheres to the friends-first policy. She met her valentine, Keith McInnis, while taking a college English class in Fort Leavenworth.
"It was really special, a total surprise" she said, taking my ring himself. I was really surprised.
"First we were just friends," said Davis, Lawrence senior. "He was shi'u 'w watch catho'na! We had a bad day."
According to Davis, the best idea for finding a valentine is not to look for one.
"We started writing letters to each other
and I realized I missed him," she said.
"I just wrote it myself."
It was not until Davis moved to California that the romance developed.
"Don't try, let it happen," she said. "If you like someone, talk to them."
Foreign students show mixed feelings for day

Special to the Kansan
Jose Fernandez first learned about Valerie Tilson by watching an American movie in Argentina.
"The movie was 'Love Anniversary,' said Fernandez, Valla Blanca, Argentina, sophomore. "Since then, I just knew there was day in the United States dedicated to love."
Fernandez, like many other foreign students, has mixed feelings about Valentine's Day. As in several other countries, children are often left alone. Instead, there is a friendship day June 10.
Fernandez said that on that day, people usually would not send cards but would make telephone calls and visit with close friends.
But Fernandez does not feel homesick.
Valentine's Day is just another day.
“It’s become so commercialized that it has lost its meaning,” he said. “This celebration is used to make money. That’s not the purpose of love. I wish everybody would tell everybody every day that they love each other.”
Yugoslavia is another country that doesn't have a Valentine's Day.
Robert Diminic, Puli, Croatia, graduate
student, said that even though he learned about Valentine's Day long ago, he had never celebrated it. This year will be no different.
"There was no celebration in Yugoslavia because the political power was socialism. The government and the church didn't get along." According to the Christian origins of the holiday.
Alberto Montes de Oca, La Paz, Bolivia, junior, said he thought Sept. 21 was a kind of Bolivian Valentine's Day. On that day, the girls would give red roses and men could give red roses to women.
Montes de Oca said it was a triple celebration.
"We celebrate the beginning of spring, the day of the student and the day of love," he said. "If you don't have a girlfriend, it's kind of a bummer."
In other countries, such as Cyprus,
Vatican City may recently has become an important
import.
Savvas Moustakas, Kyrenia, Cyprus, sophomore, said that about four years ago the media promoted the celebration of Valentine's Day.
He said that people celebrated Valentine's Day in Cyprus similar to the way people in the United States did.
