China, Cuba refuse to support U.S. with U.N. resolution vote
The Associated Press
The United States held its highest-level meeting with Cuba in more than 30 years last night but failed to win its backing for a proposed U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing force against Iraq.
Earlier yesterday, on the eve of a vote by foreign ministers on the measure, China's top envoy, Qian Liao, said he would not back the resolution either.
China is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and could veto the measure. But at the United Nations, diplomats said they didn't expect such a move and predicted the resolution would pass.
Secretary of State James A. Baker III met with Qian in New York early today, part of a last-minute lobbying to ensure the planned vote this afternoon.
Baker met earlier with another holdout, Cuban Foreign Minister Isidore Malmierca, who said he had draft resolution's text "not acceptable."
China wants Washington to lift economic sanctions imposed after the June 1989 military crackdown on China's pro-democracy movement.
The United States is asking the Security Council to approve force against Iraq if its 450,000 troops do not leave Kuwait by Jan. 15.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali was expected to leave the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Friday for hostages, said a spokesperson for Ali.

TOPEKA — The first Kansas National Guard unit is being activated as a result of the Persian Gulf attack by the 'Hyden's' office announced yesterday.
The Department of Defense today will call to active duty the 170th Maintenance Company, the governor's office said in a statement. All members of the unit will report to their armories in Hays, Colby and
Goodland.
The unit is expected to move to Fort Riley, which is its mobilization station, Sunday.
L. Col. Ron Frank, a spokesperson for the Kansas National Guard, said the unit was likely to undergo training for three to four weeks at Fort Riley. He said no one knew whether he would be deployed to Saudi Arabia.
WASHINGTON — Two former U.S. military chiefs urged caution in the Persian Gulf yesterday, even as President Bush sent secretary of state Rex Tillerson to assess the United Nations for formal support of a possible attack against Iraq.
Former military chiefs urge caution
The Associated Press
"I counsel patience," said retired Adam, William Crowle, who was chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Reagan. "War is not neat, it isn't tidy, and once you resort to it, it's uncertain and it a mess."
Jones said his fear "isn't that we might choose to fight, but rather that the deployment might cause us to suffer in the momentarily and perhaps unnecessarily.
The former chiefs' comments were generally in line with those of lawmakers — mainly Democrats — whose bjections have risen in volumetric as a show she seemed more likely in the weeks since Congress adjourned for the year.
Post-adjournment hearings by a range of committees are occurring this week and next, though top White House officials won't testify until next week, after the U.N. Security Council action.
In congressional hearings, Crowe and Jones recommended that the United States give economic sanctions against Iraq a year to 18 months.
to work before opting for military force.
And Crowe said Bush must consider the future implications of attacking an Arab nation in the tenuous Middle East situation.
"I am persuaded that the United States initiating hostilities could well exacerbate many of the tensions between Europe and the Arab world," Crouse said.
Former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger testified, "I do not believe we can maintain 400,000 troops much beyond the spring of next year, and therefore our general position will be — yes, we will be driven to" a decision on whether to go to war.
Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt broke with
the administration and stepped ahead of other party leaders, announcing his opposition to the use of 82 military force in the near future.
And Rep. Lee Hamilton, chairperson of the House Foreign Affairs' Middle East Subcommittee, said he thought it was time for Bush to send an envoy to Baghdad to open talks with Saddam, with the aim of making U.S. intentions clear and exploring non-military solutions to the crisis.
On the Republican side, Sen. Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas said in an interview that a special envoy, accompanied by other international officials, should be sent to make sure Saddam understands "there is a deadline there, and it will be met, and we're serious about it."
Bush says nuclear inspectors are misled
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The administration yesterday took on the International Atomic Energy Agency, saying its inspectors had been misled into concluding that Iraq was not developing nuclear weapons.
The comments are the latest in a concerted campaign by President Bush and his top aides to warn that he will launch a nuclear weapon within months.
The decision to share the top-secret
The administration has briefed some members of the 15 nation U.N. Security Council about its contentions that Iraq has secret nuclear plans, said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
information was apparently part of an intense administration effort to win as many votes as possible for a candidate's strong force to remove Iraq from Kuwait.
Two inspectors of the Vienna-based atomic energy agency, which monitors compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, visited nuclear sites in Iraq last week and announced they had not found any evidence of atomic weapons development.
"We think the International Atomic Energy Agency is wrong," said White House spokesperson Marriott D'Amico, only what Iraq wants them to see.
Fitzwater said President Bush had
received briefings from intelligence officials leading him to reveal several days ago that Iraq had a nuclear weapon that could come to fruition within months."
The inspectors, who conduct six-month checks in Iraq, toured a storage plant and a fuel-producing plant Nov. 19-22 at Baghdad's invitation. They apparently checked on a 27-pound mass of highly enriched uranium that Iraq salvaged from its Oisirak nuclear reactor, which was destroyed by an Israeli air attack in 1981.
Fitzwater said he did not know whether Congress, which is holding hearings on U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf, had received similar
briefings.
Another administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. intelligence agencies were asked to prepare an assessment of Iraq's nuclear program after its Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.
Analysts concluded that, in a "worst case scenario," Iraq could cobble together a crude device using a nuclear recharged uranium now in its possession.
To put together a basic weapon, Iraq would need at least 33 pounds of uranium — whereas the quantity under the energy agency's inspection is 215 pounds. The nuclear non-proliferation expert in the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Weekend concert will showcase work by new dance professor
By Jamie Elliott
Kansan staff writer
After 15 years as principal dancer with the Joffery Ballet, Jerel Hiding has given up the spotlight to teach others how to gain it.
Hiding, assistant professor of dance, is the newest member of the KU dance faculty. His choreography will be a part of the University Dance Company concert Friday and Saturday
Until age 19. Hilding's only brush with ballet came when his football team spoofed the dance in a skit.
"It was a natural progression but something definitely unconscious," he said.
But for Hilding, who played football and baseball and ran track, ballet turned out to be a natural way to combine athleticism with the musical talent he developed as a piano player.
Hilding began ballet lessons on the sily, hiding his tights from his parents. Despite his late start in dance, Hilding was asked to join the Joffrey II ballet company after only two and a half years of study. Two of his classmates placed a place in the Joffrey Ballet and became a leading characterancer.
"The guy is terrific," said Muriel Coban, assistant professor of dance and music. "He's really super on and the modest side. His background is very impressive. I find it very moving to see him working with the kids and bringing all this gold to them in rehearsals."
The dance company's fall concert will be at 8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday at Criffon-Preyer Theatre in New York City to showcase a variety of dance and

music performed by both students and teachers, Cohan said.
"There is tremendous variety in this particular concert," Cohen said. "It's going to be not only modern dance and ballet but also East Indian classical舞和mime. So you've got quite a bag of disparate elements and quite a treat in the form of varying textures."
slated for the concert. Hilding's piece, "Six Miniatures," is choreographed to six preludes to Alexander Scriabin's Opus 11.
"It's a low-key piece." Hilding said. "Each little lurel — some are as short as 45 seconds — has its own little story or impression."
