Allied forces try to keep Iraqis awake
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — If you can't kill them, you can keep them awake with bombs, hour after hour, night after night, making sleep deprivation a weapon. An attacker might just put on but it's to have its "Z."s, too.
Allied forces in the Persian Gulf War are showering the Republican Guard, Iraq's best troops, with bombs almost continuously. The war was not easy; the day the aim was only to kill but to discomfort and demoralize.
"The attacks on the Republican Guard . . . are designed basically to lower his morale and to ensure that when he eventually is forced out of his well dug-in positions, he has to be moved to a new condition, rather than the best, to take on the fight," said British Group Cap, Nigl Irving.
Student reservists answer call to leave KU, join active force
Although sleep deprivation is seldom noted in tales of wartime heroes, exports say it can be an owing element in winning or losing.
The purpose of the bombing,
said Irving, is not just death for
the Iraqi troops. Rather, it's "like
a fireball," taking all night,
night after night."
"There is no doubt that it can be a very effective weapon, psychologically and physiologically, if you can pull it off," said Dave Dinges, an expert on sleep deprivation at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Institute of Pennsylvania Hospital. "The hard part is pulling it off — really sleep depriving an opposing force.

KU students who also are military reservists are going to war.
At least 40 to 50 students have withdrawn because of call-ups
The Student Assistance Center has reported that 40 to 50 students had contacted the center about withdrawing from their classes because of academic problems. In the Persian Gulf. The center continues to receive calls about the subject.
Rich Morrell, registrar of student records, said the University of Kansas did not have an exact count on the number of reservist call-ups because students were not required to submit homework withdrawing from the University.
"We chose not to keep track because the student has a right to his or her privacy," he said. "It's a deliberate attempt to ensure that KU students' right to privacy is respected."
He said that if reservists were called to active duty during the semester and wanted to get a full or partial pay, he could contact the office of student records.
Ron Mavity, staff administrator at the Army Reserve Center, 21st and 1ia streets, said the majority of residents in Lawrence were KU students.
The U.S. government will not release the total number of student reservoirs called to active duty in the Gulf war.
"We've had a lot of KU students called to active duty since November," he said. Roughly 150 KU students are in the Army reserves.
Mavity said he thought that all of the reservist call-ups from the Lawrence Army reserve so far were students.

As the war progresses, more students could continue to be called to active duty status and sent to the Persian Gulf, he said.
Maj) Steve Johnson, assistant professor of military science, said Army ROTC had two reservists called to
active duty since August. Two other Army BOTC students have enlisted
He said the number of call-ups was not larger because not all of the Army ROTC students were reservists.
"Not all reservists are ROTC, and not all ROTC reservists have been called up." he said.
