0 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 7, 2003 NATION/WORLD Bush to Saddam: 'The game is up' WASHINGTON (AP) - Edging closer to war, President Bush declared yesterday "the game is over" for Saddam Hussein and urged skeptical allies to join in disarming Iraq. Bush said he would welcome a new U.N. resolution on Iraq if it made clear the world body was ready to use force if Saddam will not reveal and give up any weapons of mass destruction as demanded by an earlier resolution. Britain is likely to introduce such a resolution authorizing force after top weapons inspectors return from Baghdad and report to the Security Council on Feb. 14, British and U.S. diplomats said yesterday. Unlike Britain, France has balked at the idea of war, and Jean-Marc de La Sabliere, French ambassador to the United Nations, said yesterday, "the time has not come" for a second resolution. "The U.N. must not back down," Bush said. "All the world can rise to this moment." "Saddam Hussein will be stopped," Bush pledged, warning anew that the United States will act along with allies if needed. He spoke before cameras in the White House's Roo- sevelt Room with Secretary of State Colin Powell at his side. Behind the president was a painting of Theodore Roosevelt, who led the United States into war with Spain in 1898, on horseback. At the United Nations in New York, the Iraqi representative, Mohammed al-Douri, said of Bush, "It sounds like he wants a resolution for war." In Baghdad, an Iraqi arms expert submitted to a private interview with U.N. weapons inspectors, the first sign of cooperation in that area. Bush ticked off a series of accusa- tions that Powell had lodged on Wednesday in the U.N. Security Council, including authorization by Saddam to his lieutenants to use chemical weapons. "Saddam Hussein was given a final chance," Bush said, referring to the resolution approved unanimously in November by the Security Council that launched new U.N. inspections. "He is throwing that chance away,'; the president said. Pointedly, Bush did not renew past appeals to Saddam to reveal the chemical and biological weapons and the nuclear and missile programs the United States contends Iraq has. In Paris, French President Jacques Chirac said that France's position NEWS IN BRIEF HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE WOR.. WASHINGTON Powell works for N. Korea solution Democrats said yesterday that President Bush, in a push for war against Iraq, is ignoring a potentially greater danger in North Korea's rapidly advancing nuclear pro- gram. The White House, however, said it is has "robust plans for any contingencies" involving North Korea. Secretary of State Colin Powell repeated that the United States has no plans to attack North Korea, but that Bush "has retained all his options." Concern about the nuclear program has grown after North Korea announced Wednesday it was putting the operation of its nuclear facilities on a "normal footing." That could mean it is about to produce nuclear weapons. Bush administration officials have said North Korea's program does not constitute a crisis, and Powell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "I still feel it is possible to find a diplomatic solution." Democrats, though, said Bush was not taking the threat seriously enough. In con- trast with their praise of Powell's presentation Wednesday on Iraq to the United Nations, they pounced on what they saw as weakness and inconsistency in the administration's North Korea policy. "Mr. President Bush, please, please, if you don't want to enunciate it, in your mind Mr. President, treat this as a crisis because it is, if not contained now," Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware said. HOUSTON NASA expands Colombia investigation NASA is casting a wider net in the space shuttle investigation now that it has essen- tially ruled out a theory that a breakaway piece of foam may have caused Columbia to rip apart. Other possibilities abound, from an accidental triggering of explosive devices on board to a collision with a piece of space garbage, or perhaps a flaw in a wing that caused the spacecraft to swing out of control and disintegrate moments before it was to land. Space shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore said every theory was being examined. "Was it something that happened after launch? Was it something that happened during the entry? Or was it something that happened during ascent (launch) and we didn't see it? Those are all possibilities," Dittemore said at a news conference yesterday searchers returned to the woods of East Texas and Louisiana in heavy rain to scour the ground for debris that could yield clues to the shuttle's destruction. Reports of debris as far west as Arizona and California - which could help experts determine what parts of the shuttle broke up first - were still unconfirmed yesterday morning. President Bush advocates the use of force against Iraq yesterday after Secretary of State Colin Powell's address to the U.N. Wednesday. had not been changed by Powell's presentation at the United Nations. "We refuse to think that war is inevitable," Chirac said through a spokesman. The evidence furnished by Powell "justifies continued work by the United Nations weapons inspectors. Iraq must answer their LSA STUDENTS & MAY 2003 GRADS Seeking a REWARDING SUMMER JOB?

CRUSE Continued from Page 1 "We have not reached the kind of organizational level necessary in the United States," Cruse said. Elizabeth James, program associ- ate of CAAS, said as the first acting director of the newly-formed CAAS in 1969, Cruse was instrumental in the program's establishment and advocated for the center to be rec- ognized as an academic department at the University. "He is the rock upon which CAAS has been founded," said Evans Young, LSA assistant dean of undergraduate education and former assistant director of CAAS. He added that Cruse has been a fighter who has stood up for black people and black studies. Reflecting on the Bush adminis- tration's war on terrorism, Cruse labeled the "war" as a clash of civi- lizations. "No matter what our status in society is, we are the projection of the underdeveloped world in the U.S., which is at war With th developed states of the world," Cruse said. Prof.:Ed Harold of Wayne State University praised Cruse's multifac- eted academic philosophies. "The number of social and politi- cal worlds he engages in is amaz- ing," he said. "I think it's great the center had the insight to reach back to its roots, so that it has a better idea of where it will go in the future," said Anthony Bailey, a senior majoring in commu- nication technology at Easter Michi- gan University. SEALE Continued from Page 1. before him, including King and W.E.B. DuBois. Before listening to them and reading their work, he said, he had been largely unaware of his cultural history. A 1962 rally at Merritt College in Oakland, Calif. first informed him of the Civil Rights Movement, Seale said. He said that was the first time he began to think critically about black history. "I was raised in Berkeley, Cal- ifornia and in Berkeley High School they told me, 'Well, I guess it wasn't so bad for slaves all the time because they could sit on the stoop and play the banjo," Seale added. "But they didn't just sit around and accept slav- ery. They fought. They struggled. They died" Seale said he started the Black Panther Party - an alternative to the non-violent campaigns of other civil rights leaders - with friend Huey Newton, a law school student, after the two were given probation for assaulting undercover police officers during an antiwar rally. The officers tried to arrest the pair for using obscene language, and a fight ensued. The Panthers, who dressed in black and were known for carrying guns, patrolled the streets at night to observe police officers arresting blacks, Seale said, adding that the group was careful to follow the laws - but they were still known as dan- gerous and militant. "What people don't understand is why we were patrolling the police. But we weren't there to stop the arrest. We were there to observe the police," he said. "We knew all the laws, we knew all the gun laws. We were legal." Students said Seale's lecture AZ CITY, Gaza Strip Palestinian leadership claimed by Hamas Hamas is prepared to assume leader- ship of the Palestinian people, a senior Hamas official said yesterday in a rare expression of the goal of the violent Islamic movement. Hamas has avoided direct conflicts with Yasser Arafat's leadership, although from time to time, clashes between the groups have erupted. Mahmoud Zahar, a leader of the Hamas political wing, told The Associ- ated Press in an interview yesterday that his group is "absolutely" prepared to lead the Palestinian people now. He said Hamas has the infrastructure to take over leadership "politically, finan- ' cially (and) s:6ially."I Polls have shown consistently that Arafat's Fatah movement is more popu- lar than Haivs amnig"Palestinians', but Arafat has not visited Gaza in more than a year. He has been confined to his Ramallah West Bank headquarters by the Israeli military presence. CARACAS, Venezuela Business leaders blast Chavez's proposal Venezuela's business leaders warned yesterday that foreign currency controls imposed by President Hugo Chavez will breed corruption, fuel inflation and push the nation's fragile economy to the brink of collapse. They also suspect Chavez will use the controls to repress opponents and pun- ish those who staged an unsuccessful two-month strike seeking to oust him. Chavez announced the controls late Wednesday night, two weeks after sus- pending the sales of U.S. dollars as the bolivar currency sank to record lows. The fixed exchange rate took effect yesterday, and trading in dollars resumed. The new controls fix the bolivar currency's value at 1,596 per dollar for sales and 1,600 for purchases, but the government can adjust those rates as it sees fit. The bolivar closed at 1,853 on Jan. 21, the last day of trading, but on the black market it traded at 2,500. WASHINGTON Bush ushes for cars fuele by hydrogen President Bush on Thursday urged Congress to "think beyond the normal" and approve his plan to spur develop- ment of clean-burning hydrogen fuel cells to power cars that-he said would reduce pollution and America's foreign oil dependence. In a National Building Museum speech, Bush promoted his request for $1.2 billion in federal money over five years into hydrogen fuel cell research. The money is aimed at finding ways to get the fuel to where it can be used. Without fueling stations, nobody will want to buy the cars even when they land in showrooms a decade or more from now. "What we do today can make a tremendous difference for the future of America," Bush said. Beforehand, the President spent about 20 minutes watching demonstrations of cars, a scooter and portable electronics such as cell phones and lap tops, all pow- ered by hydrogen fuel cells. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
