The Michigan Daily- Thursday, February 6, 1992 - Page 3 Expert says Iraqis still have nuclear know-how despite war abx y, ,es * by Christopher Scherer David Kay, the former chief in- spector of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who ob- served Iraq's nuclear capabilities firsthand last September, explained Iraq's development of nuclear capa- bilities yesterday in the Chrysler Center Auditorium. The Iraqi nuclear program was anything but small, Kay said. They were not producing "two or three (warheads) to use on Israel, but a much broader range just to en- counter one country," he added. Kay said at the start of Desert Storm, Iraq was approximately 12 to 18 months away from creating a functional nuclear warhead. The inspection team was sur- prised by the number of foreign components that contributed to Iraq's nuclear capabilities, Kay added. Some significant components with dual purposes of industrial use or for the creation of a nuclear arse- nal from foreign suppliers were usually obtained under false pre- tenses, Kay said. They remained un- detected because the Iraqis claimed to be using the goods for industrial purposes. Kay said international literature enabled the building of reactors which were used to create Uranium- 235, a key element in nuclear bombs. Kay attributed the war effort to get Iraq out of Kuwait as the main deterrent to the Iraqi program. "Effective superpower nuclear weapon control must continue," Kay said. Clandestine inspection programs and short-notice inspections are needed to regulate the world's nu- clear arsenal, Kay said. Although Kay said the programs were dismantled after the war, the Iraqis still have the scientific knowledge needed to be a nuclear threat. But without the economic block- ade in effect, Iraq would be able to resume development soon, Kay added. Conclusive evidence of nuclear capabilities didn't exist before the Gulf War. But after the Tuwaitha plant, 50 miles north of Baghdad, was struck by an American bomber, reconnaissance photos revealed un- usual activity in the area, Kay said. Graduate student Jon Bawabe said, "This is the first time some- body told me that the Iraqis are def- initely a part of the nuclear powers ... there is no way to keep them out of it at this point and that's a frightening thing ... now the ques- tion is how to deal with them politically." RC sophomore Seneca Storm outlines the body of RC junior Kevin Stein yesterday. The students decorated the Diag to draw attention to the upcoming redeputization public hearings. Chalkers color Diag to protest redeputization by Loretta Lee Daily Staff Reporter U~UUKNI I= David Kay, chief inspector for the International Atomic Energy Agency speaks at Chrysler Auditorium yesterday. ,U.N. maintains sanctions while Iraq, ignores cease-fire resolution The chalkers returned to the Diag yesterday with fresh chalk, but an old message. Students calling themselves SHIT Happens (Students Halting Institutionalized Terrorism) marked several slogans on the pavement including "Will you wait till someone is dead?" The group is trying to call at- tention to the changes in the depu- tized University police force and to the public hearings being held later this month. The hearings are required by law before University police officers can be made accountable to the Uni- versity Board of Regents instead of the county sheriff. When campus security officers were converted to full officers au- thorized to carry guns in the fall of 1990, the regents called on the county sheriff to deputize them. Because regents will now depu- tize the officers, an oversight board and public hearings are required. Although the University has set up two open hearings, members of SHIT Happens claim that the hearings will serve no real purpose. "Our participation in the hear- ing is a rubber stamp for decisions that have already been made," said chalker Todd Ochoa, an LSA repre- sentative to the Michigan Student Assembly. "For us to participate in the hearings is farcical." SHIT Happens' "educational" chalking, according to Ochoa, hopes to spark participation from other student organizations and to act as a means of education and communi- cation to students. Although Ochoa declined to de- tail a plan of action to eliminate a deputized police force, he said plans included "ways in which we could hold the regents account- able." Students gave mixed reviews to i the chalking. "I thought it was kind of point- less because they didn't tell who they were ... I didn't know what was going on," said first-year LSA student Dennis Kim. School of Natural Resources ju- nior Elizabeth Toomer, who said she had been harassed by the police, said the chalkers' messages were "quite true." Although she said she agreed with the messages, Toomer said she thought SHIT Happens could make its point better by "bringing the shanties back." LSA sophomore Dan Rabi- novitch also said he agreed with the campaign but not with SIT Hap- pens' methods. "It's alreadybeen proven that the chalking doesn't work," Rabi- novitch said. "What it's going to take is massive solidarity. That en- tails spending more time talking to student groups and lobbying." UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The Security Council escalated its confrontation with Iraq yesterday by renewing its commitment to punishing sanctions and issuing informal threats of tougher action. In a bimonthly review of sanc- tions imposed on Iraq for its inva- sion of Kuwait, the 15-member council decided to keep in place an 18-month-old worldwide ban on al- most all trade with Saddam Hussein's government. Diplomats hinted that tougher action - possibly including a threat of military force - could be taken if Iraq does not fully cooperate with U.N. inspections of its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons facilities.

Tyson's trial postponed due to Fire at jurors' hotel INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A deadly fire early yesterday at the hotel where Mike Tyson's jurors were sequestered forced a delay of his rape trial. The mayor requested a federal arson investigation, and se- curity was increased at the courthouse. The fire killed two firefighters and a hotel guest and injured 12. Jurors in night clothes were safely evacuated. Hours later, the former world heavyweight champion showed up briefly at the City-County Building, where he is being tried on charges of rape and criminal deviate conduct. Tyson, 25, faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted. The trial probably will resume today, court spokesperson Joe Champion said. Sheriff's deputies tightened se- curity outside the courtroom, set- ting up a walk-through metal detec- tor for media and spectators and bringing in a bomb-sniffing dog. The trial judge, Patricia Gifford, banned cameras from the second floor, with the exception of three poolcameras. Mayor Stephen Goldsmith re- quested federal arson investigators, citing the "unusual coincidence of the proximity of the jury." Theblaze erupted in a lounge and destroyed the third and fourth floors of the seven-story hotel, au- thorities said. Fire Department spokesperson Capt. Gary Campbell said eight other occupants and four firefight- ers were injured. by Mona Qureshi Daily Staff Reporter "Roots" author Alex Haley paid another visit to the University yesterday. Well, sort of. Haley was part of a videoconfer- ence panel broadcast live from Washington, D.C., and televised to several college sites throughout the country, including the University's Alumni Center. Congressmember Maxine Wa- ters (D-CA), USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds, journalist and professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Chuck Stone, and Henry Hampton, pro- ducer of the popular civil rights documentary "Eyes on the Prize" joined Haley on the panel. . The panel, titled "Beyond the Dream IV: Discovering the Past - Understanding the Future," ad- dressed a gamut of issues from rap lyrics to the philosophies of the late Malcolm X. Hampton said young people to- day have trouble understanding Malcolm X's impact on African Americans. "It's very hard to get the audience today to understand the world in which Malcolm came," he said, Stone said the problem is that young people have not been educated about African history. "They don't understand Malcolm," Stone said. "What Malcolm felt for his family, these brothers don't feel. for theirs - or they wouldn't be killing and raping. If that's the way they understand it, then it's our fault because we are responsible for their education," Stone said. All of the panelists agreed, say- ing people who commit crimes while sporting the familiar "X" on hats and T-shirts act in opposition to Malcolm X's ideals. Reynolds said she strongly ob- jects to obscenities in lyrics by African American rappers. "When we were young, we weren't afraid to say, 'Brother or sister, I love you.' Today we hear these Black men say- ing they're going to rub somebody's genitals. I don't see Black men say- ing this is not the way we want our. women talked about," she said. Toward the end of the discussion, the panel offered solutions to these. problems, stressing the importance. of communication between commu-: nities and education about all people of color in schools. "Black history is not something apart. We were born right here in America. Black history is a facet of American history. Without under- standing the Chinese and their building of the railroads and Black history, you cannot know the his- tory of this country," Haley said. About 20 students and faculty attended the program, which was sponsored by the Office of Minority Affairs and several other campus groups. The students were able to call the panel in Washington and ask questions.
