GULF
Continued from page 1
Gorbachev refused to endorse the
idea.
The United States continued its
buildup by loading hundreds of
jeeps, trucks and armored vehicles
aboard the first of 20 to 30 ships
that are to sail from Rotterdam,
Netherlands, a Dutch Army spokes-
person said.

Most of the U.S. troops in the
gulf region are in Saudi Arabia.
Bush scrapped planned rotations for
them when he announce the U.S.
buildup.
"It is worth mentioning that ac-
cording to military considerations,
the percentage of attacking force to
defending force is 3 to 1," the Iraqi
News Agency said. "This means the
United States will need to mobilize a
three million-strong force with simi-
lar equipment and armament to our

forces" if it is to attack.
There was no indication of where
the extra regular troops would come
from. Iraq's army totals 555,000
regular troops and 480,000 reserves.
Iraq announced its troop buildup
a day after it said it would free the
estimated 2,000 remaining Western
hostages in Iraq occupied Kuwait
between Christmas and March 25.
Bush and Gorbachev met for a
late dinner that focused in large part
on the possible use of military force.

Last senator gives o
remarks in Keating

Calvin and Hobbes

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen.
Dennis DeConcini directed a fiery at-
tack yesterday at the Ethics
Committee's special counsel, accus-
ing him of relying on "lies and alle-
gations and hearsay" to build a case
that the Arizona Democrat improp-
erly assisted former savings and loan
operator Charles Keating.
DeConcini abandoned his nor-
mally low-key style and often raised
his voice to a shout as he denied
wrongdoing and defiantly said of
lawyer Robert Bennett: "He stands

here as a prosecutor... He wants a
victory. He wants to nail some-
body."
Bennett "wants another trophy on
the wall," said DeConcini. He was
the last senator to give his opening
statement in the Ethics Committee
hearings into allegations that the
"Keating Five" intervened for the
business people because of the $1.3
million he contributed to their cam-
paigns and causes.
Sens. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.),
John McCain (R-Ariz..), John Glenn

p ening :
inquiry
(D-Ohio) and Donald Riegle Jr. (D.,
Mich.) all denied impropriety.
"The issue in this case is not
me," Bennett retorted when given a
chance to speak later in the day.
"The issue in this case is the conduct'
of the senators. That is what has
brought them here."~

"The decision (over the houses)

Schleicher (R-Fourth Ward).
"Everyone has a right to speak, but
there is no necessity to do it in such
an offensive manner," he said.
Schleicher didn't agree with the

live in Ann Arbor. "There are only a

Coleman said the city needs help

together with local businesses and
University students to develop work-
able solutions.
"The city continues to build park-

building shelters for the homeless,"

PACTS
Continued from page 1
Thatcher called the Helsinki agree-
ments "a tremendous encouragement
and inspiration, which helped (So-
viets and Eastern Eur-opeans) not to
lose heart." She continued by pro-
claiming that "in a very real sense,
many people in Eastern and Central
Europe can trace their new freedom
back to the Helsinki Agreements."
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
of Canada saw the CSCE in very
historic terms, "This summit ends
the Cold War," he said, "firmly,
formally, and we hope forever."
Later in his speech, Mulroney
added, "(This summit) is the inaugu-
ration of a new Europe at peace with
itself..."
Behind the scenes, Bush soughtI
support for a U.N. resolution autho-1
rizing military force to drive Iraq
from Kuwait. Gorbachev was em-
phasizing his hopes for a peaceful;
solution.1

This treaty virtually outlaws conflict between,
European nations by declaring that NATO and;
the Warsaw Pact are 'no longer adversaries'

"I think we all need patience, but
that does not mean that we are going
to weaken or retreat" from earlier
U.N. resolutions calling for an un-
conditional Iraqi withdrawal, Gor-
bachev said.
Bush sought to deflect questions
over the differences with Gorbachev,
saying, "I'm very pleased with the
way the Soviet Union and the United
States can work together in the
United Nations. There continues to
be very open-minded communica-
tions, and I have no reason to be
anything other than very satisfied."

President George Bush called the
CSCE, "a grand turn in the course of
history."
In using this summit as a forum
to build support against Iraq, Bush
argued, "Our success here can neither
be profound nor enduring if the rule

Traps were put in rooms all the way
up to the sixth floor.

As a result of the success, the

However, the Blood Battle or-

However, the turn-out of new
donors was higher than expected and
without large numbers of nurses,
processing was slow, Leshock
explained.
AtnMosher-Jordan 135 out of 160
students were first-time donors.
"Nurses couldn't go any faster,"
Leshock said. "Only on the days we
were overstaffed could we fill quota.
For the future, we must have a better
ratio than 24 to one. This is the
largest drive they (Red Cross) have
all year and they can't afford to keep
stretching the nurses."
The Blood Battle surpassed quota
three times - at Markley, the
ROTC drive, and the first day in the
Union.
The recent focus on anti-
deputization activities and the crisis
in the Gulf may also have detracted
student focus on the Blood Battle,
Fry said.
"I hope it wasn't just apathy. The
students on the U of M campus have
always been dynamite," she added.
