A ssociated Press
President George Bush pressed a
verbal barrage against Saddam
Hussein yesterday, suggesting from
the campaign trail that the Iraqi
leader had surpassed Hitler in some
sorts of brutality and pledging to
"see his aggression turned back."
"I don't think the status quo can
go on forever," Bush said. "I don't
4now how long is long enough" to
depend on sanctions alone to force
Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait.
Bush said, "I'm not trying to

says.st
sound the tocsin (alarm) of war." His
spokesperson said the president was
speaking out "to prepare the Ameri-
can people for any eventuality."
Marlin Fitzwater said, "If we do
have to take dramatic action, we
want them to know why."
Bush's angry comments directed
at Saddam reflected an escalation in
rhetoric to match the United States'
growing military might in the Per-
sian Gulf region. The United States
has said up to 100,000 troops will

atus quo

can't

continue

be dispatched to join the 220,000-
member force already deployed.
Iraq promised yesterday to release
four more American hostages soon
and insisted it was treating foreign
captives well.
Despite Iraqi assurances about the
captives' welfare, letters smuggled
from two American hostages and re-
leased by a U.S. official in Baghdad
painted a picture of fear and despera-
tion.
One of the unidentified Ameri-

cans said he had been moved five
times and was receiving no mail or
messages. He said he had lost 35
pounds.
The other unidentified American
said he considered himself a prisoner
in the "Iraqi gulag" and pleaded:
"Please do not forget the guest
hostages."
Iraq calls the detained foreigners
guests.
Iraq expressed renewed fears that
the United States will use reports of

hostage maltreatment as a pretext to
launch a military strike.
Iraqi Information Minister Latif
Jassim, announcing plans to free
four sick and elderly Americans,
denied the captives were being treated
badly. About 1,000 Americans are
believed to be held in Iraq and
Kuwait.
The official Iraqi News Agency
identified the four to be freed as Ran-
dall Trinah, Dr. Abdul Kanji, Ray-
mond Galles and Michael Barnes. It

did not give their ages or home-
towns, or say when they would be
freed.
Aboard the USS Iwo Jinla,
sailors and Marines paid sorrowful
tribute to ten comrades killed in a
boiler-room accident. The deaths
Tuesday were the worst Navy casual-
ties to date in Operation Desert
Shield, the U.S. military deploy-
ment launched after Iraq overran
Kuwait three months ago.

It was hard to miss the replica of

A crowd of approximately 200
people participated in yesterday's
Unity Day rally. Recycle U-M orga=

unify the campus to help save the
environment.
"The philosophy behind Unity
Day is to show that the environmen-
tal movement is everybody's move-
ment," said Julianne LeSage, a LSA
senior and a member of Recycle U-

A wide range of groups helped
promote the event including PIR-

Tomorrow is Poultry Day at ' r
Ross-Ade Stadium. And there's noU
one that would like to fatten up as,
much as the Michigan Wolver- ~~
ines.
The chance at a New Years Dayt
Bowl is still within reach if the
Wolverines win their remaining ,
games. Facing a team like Purdue,
with a 1-6 overall record and win-
less in the Big Ten, shouldn't hurt
those aspirations.
But despite the fact that Pur-
due's only victory of the year was
against Indiana State and rumors
circulate about coach Fred Akers'
job security, Gary Moeller is try-
ing his best to make Purdue sound
like anything but the Little Sisters

Harrison Morton, an associate
dean and professor in the School of
Natural Resources, will take over as
interim dean of the school this
month.
Morton will take over for Dean
James Crowfoot, who announced
this past summer that he will resign
on Dec. 31, after holding the posi-
tion for seven years.
Morton has many plans for his
new position including:
hiring two new faculty mem-

to "push us further along the idea of
diversity."
increasing "cross-campus ini-

Russel Moll, associate research

it was assumed Morton would take

that "a national search will likely be
made. Morton will probably not just

Porn forum draws 500
Panelists present all sides of censorship debate

Daily Staff Reporters
In a heated and spirited debate,
four distinguished speakers addressed
the issue of pornography's role in
society last night in a packed Michi-
gan League Ballroom.
A crowd of more than 500 stu-
dents attended the forum entitled
"Censorship and Pornography:
Where do you draw the line?" The
event was sponsored by the campus
publication Consider.
Speakers included: Deen Kaplan,
spokesperson for the National Coali-
tion Against Pornography; Marcia

"From a legal standpoint,
pornography is not even free
speech," Kaplan said. "It is uncon-
scionable that (pornography) should
have a roll in our society."
Pally, a self-proclaimed feminist,
responded, "When you allow for the
censorship of pornography, all you
will do is establish a dangerous
precedent. Don't appoint someone
king and let him make decisions for
you."
Heckling and occasional shouts
from the audience were prevalent
throughout the forum, contributing
to the tense atmosphere.
Car1 CAhen nresenteid the most

ture a civilized world, I picture a
world in which pornography does
not exist."
Student responses were often
heated.
Social Work graduate student
Kate Weber said, "Dr. Cohen sug-
gested that what is disgusting to one
man is another man's lyric. Choos-
ing to reduce a woman to her body
parts should not be anyone's lyric."
LSA graduate Ann Weber said,
"The two speakers that were against
censorship... did not directly address

Anyone who has taken a deep
breath at a recent Michigan foot-

been grass in the stadium for a

The current proposal calls for
the installation of Prescription

which is becoming increasingly
popular nationwide.
Under this plan, a huge basin

The current artificial turf was
