Page 2-The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 20, 1990 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."~ IL A~ ~ ms STUFF! ITS Too tWJCA WRK! 1, BOTHER ? " UNTt.L YOU STNI. a)e CART DEVOURP AN Ot'4, ., cl~ by Bill Watterson r cA. SEE.

Both Brader and Coleman said cutbacks in federal funding caused shortages in low-cost housing. .. "The decision (over the houses) has been made" and the protesting won't change it, said Jerry 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 HAC estimate that 1500 homeless live in Ann Arbor. "There are only a couple dozen real Ann Arbor home- less. But that number might fluctu- ate a bit," Schleicher said.. Coleman said the city needs help putting together affordable housing projects, and suggested the city work together with local businesses and University students to develop work- able solutions. "The city continues to build park- ing structures when they should be building shelters for the homeless," Dresser said.
