The NRC assessed the fine after a radioactive chemical spill occurred in the Medical Science I Building last September. After extensive debate, the University decided to pay - rather than contest - the fine, University News and Information Director Joe Owsley said. "It was a matter of studying the implications of paying or contesting the fine," he said. "We determined that the best course of action was to pay the fine. We determined that we had violated some regulations." Owsley said the money to cover the fine will be drawn from the ac- count of the laboratory in which the spill occured. "It will be charged against Medical Science," he said. In addition to the fine, the NRC has imposed stringent laboratory safety regulations upon the University. Owsley said University officials have been working diligently to im- prove safety in laboratories on campus. "A lot of things went along with the fine," he said. "We have in- creased the amount of training peo- ple must have in order to deal with radioactive material. We are making sure that our staff is briefed to han- dle radioactive isotopes." In last September's accident, a student researcher tracked radioac- tive phosphorous throughout the Medical Science building when he spilled some of the substance and picked it up on his shoes. The University will be conduct- ing internal checks of its labs four times a year. i Strike on Iraq ruins four air defense sites " Iraq claims to stop incursions into Kuwait and resume U.N. weapons inspections WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush declared the mili- tary strike on Iraq "a big success" yesterday and said he hoped Saddam Hussein "got the mes- sage." The Pentagon said allied warplanes had damaged the four Iraqi air defense sites they targeted and destroyed one mobile missile battery. The Pentagon said three other missile batteries were dismantled by the Iraqis after the attack. Administration officials said the limited allied attack demon- strated to a defiant Saddam that the United States had the political will to strike and might do so again at any time. President-elect Clinton said he would judge Saddam's behavior by his future conduct but could not imagine normalizing relations. "The aggressive military tyrants achieved much less than what their sick minds had dreamed of," said an Iraqi military communique, which counted 19 dead and 15 wounded from Wednesday's strike at eight tar- gets in Iraq's southern "no-fly zone." Iraq also said it would cease its incursions into Kuwait and let United Nations weapons inspec- tors resume their flights. The Pentagon called the attack "a very small mission" with only 40 planes bombing Iraqi radar sta- tions and surface-to-air missiles for just 15 minutes. An additional 70 U.S., British and French air- craft provided air cover, refueling and other support. "This wasn't even the second cousin of all battles," said Pentagon spokesperson Pete Williams. r He said the radar installations in southern Iraq were "seriously degraded" and the targeted mobile surface-to-air missile batteries were either hit by the allies or dismantled by the Iraqis. One was hit for sure, he said. Williams declined to quantify the damage, saying, "I don't have a box score for you." But he ran videotapes from cameras mounted on the attack aircraft that shows two bombs striking targets, two missing and cloud cover obscuring another target. Allied aircraft resumed patrols yesterday over the "no-fly zone," taking photographs to verify the damage reports and searching for any sign that Saddam might strike back. Brent Scowcroft, Bush's na- tional security adviser, provided the first indication that not all the targets were hit. Scowcroft said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that the attack knocked out "in the neigh- borhood of half' the targets." "Let's just hope that Saddam Hussein got the message," said Bush. "I hope that he will now comply with these United Nations resolutions." Clinton lent full backing to Bush's decision and said he would not rule out authorizing force him- self if warranted. In an interview published yes- terday in The New York Times, Clinton said his message to Saddam was: "If you want a dif- ferent relationship with me, you can begin by observing the U.N. requirements, and change your behavior."

Citizens: U.S. strike predictable Disabled Desert Storm veteran supports U.S. action The Associated Press A Michigan veteran of Operation Desert Storm and political experts say it was only a matter of time before the Allies had to strike again against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile, two peace activists were arrested after staging a sit-in at the Grand Rapids federal building to protest the United States' role in Wednesday's military strike against Iraq. Disabled Desert Storm veteran Kimberley Lee Stallion, 27, of Genesee County's Genesee Township, says she supports the allied effort in the Persian Gulf. She was wounded when a Scud missile slammed into her barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia on Feb. 25, 1991. "I knew it was just a matter of time the way he was going," Stallion said. "If they can take him out, I think they should do it." Shan Aziz of Jackson said he had spoken three weeks ago with family members in Rajef, Iraq, his hometown. They said Saddam was expected to try to antagonize President Bush. Saddam has been ignoring warnings to stop sending troops on raids across the border in Kuwait. Area experts said Saddam may have miscalculated in making missile and troop movements the past several weeks.

I 'U' to welcome celebrities in commemoration of King As part of the University's celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, various campus groups are featuring famous speakers. Some of the more recognizable faces: Adgm&A I by Saloni Janveja Daily Staff Reporter This year's Martin Luther King Day observation may not be hitting the big screen, but with scheduled performances by the likes of Danny Glover and Felix Justice, the Uni- versity's sixth annual symposium will make broadcast history. For the first time, the Universi- ty's satellite uplink will be used to transmit the day's events nationally and internationally, with more than 250 cable companies receiving- press packets. Charles Moody, vice provost for minority affairs, said in the past the planned events have been popular. "Some of the workshops had very good attendance by students," Moody said. "This year we have a number of workshops and activities that are particularly geared to stu- dents. In fact, many are being im- plemented by students." Moody cited many differences between this year's events and those of past years - the main one being the televised broadcast of se- lected events. Channel 10 will broadcast some events locally, while others will be aired on cable stations outside of Ann Arbor. Another addition to the planned events takes place after the actual day, with a review of the previous day's activities.
