QUiXKraCAMira Volume LXXVII, Number 19 February 28,199 US Claims Victory Over Iraqi Forces By Rob Cioe QC Managing Editor After 97 hours of ground confrontation in Operation Desert Storm, US President George Bush declared to the nation last night that "Kuwait is liberated. Iraq's army is defeated. Our military objectives are met." Speaking from the Oval Office, Bush announced that all U.S. and coalition forces would "suspend offensive combat operations" against the Iraqi Army beginning at midnight (EST) last night. "This suspension...is contingent upon Iraq's not firingupon any coalition forces and not launching Scud missiles against any other country," Bush said. "If Iraq violates these terms, coalition forces will be free to resume military' operation." In order for a permanent cease-fire to be implemented, the' President listed a number of demands that Iraq must comply with; •Iraq must release immediately all coalition Prisoners of War, third country nationals and the remains of all who have been killed. •Iraq must release all Kuwaiti detainees. •Iraq must inform Kuwaiti authorities of the location and nature of all land and sea mines. ♦Iraq must comply fully with all relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, which includes a rescinding of Iraq's decision to annex Kuwait and acceptance, in principle, of Iraq's responsibility to oav compensation for the loss damage and ijujury its cLggicssaiGii litis Cixu.^c^.. In a military briefing yesterday afternoon, Allied Commanderin the Gulf, Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf gave an accountofU.S. casualties. 79 Americans are dead, 213 wounded, 44 Missing in Action and 9 Prisoners of War. It was reported that 88% of Iraqi tanks and 65% of their Armored Personnel Carriers were destroyed, but no specific number of Iraqi's killed were given, although Schwarzkopf said that these numbers were "very, very large." 'This is not a time of euphoria, certainly not a time to gloat," Bush said. "But it is a time of pride. Pride in our troops, pride in the friends who stood with us in the cri sis, pride in our nation and the people whose strength and resolve made victory quick, decisive and just. 'This is a victory for the United Nations, for all mankind, for the rule of law, and for what is right. (Ed. Note- Information compiled in this article was taken from various media sources.) Athenians Lose House By Julie Amiton QC Assistant News Editor On Monday, Feb. 18, an incident reports was filed with the office of Residential Life, resulting in the loss of the on- campus Athenian house. Residential Life was unable to comment about the nature of the incident reports that were filed. "There were disciplinary actions tak^n against a female society because previous sanctions were violated," Steve Gothold, Dean of College Life said. The sanction was appealed to President Ash on February 21, and the decision was upheld. The four Athenians living in the hcuse, moved out on February 22. 'To my knowledge, some have chosen tc live on-campus. We came to their (the Athenians) assistance, providing maintenance to help them move out," Gothold said. For the balance of the year, the house will ren ain empty. It will be open to any group of students in the Fall. The Athenian society refused to comment on this issue. .sjfefr, 9HHHK Sarah GammiltyQC Photography Editor Administrators Stephen Gothold, Harold Hewitt and Bob Marks, President of the Faculty Executive Committee, Chuck Reeg and Intersociety President Dave Willette and over 120 society members listen to President James Ash in yesterday's forum on Pledging Faculty Wants Pledging Eliminated; Ash Discusses with Society Members By Julie Amiton President Ash addressed 120 society members yesterday to discuss the Faculty Executive Committee's (FEC) proposal that pledging be eliminated. - Following a closed faculty meeting on February 15, FEC formulated and finalized a recommendation that pledging be eliminated and replaced by a "brief and legal initiation process." FEC further recommended the formation of an ad hoc committee to discuss the implementation of this proposal. The committee will consist of two society members, two society alumni, four other students, three faculty, and three administrators. The proposal was brought to the faculty meeting on Monday, and a consensus was reached. "We see and observe all of the activities during pledging. The faculty collectively decided that we'd had enough," Charles Adams, FEC At Large Representative, said. According to Adams, pledging must be eliminated, because of the legal and moral problems of hazing. "We will not tolerate the behavior we have experienced. This is a month long process where people are subject to inhumane behavior," Joe Price, Religion professor, said. 'The faculty recognizes that ociety's are entitled to secrets and unique ess, but they are not entitled to haze. I do not know what else we could have done," Steve Gothold, Dean of College Life, said. President Ash addressed the legal and moral implications surrounding hazing and the survival of Whittier College at yesterday's forum. Tt is my personal belief that hazing is a widespread incident that has come to this community, Ash said. "Hazing is a violation of California law; the issue is the survival of this college. Changes will be made to get us into a legal state." According to Ash the faculty has the authority to govern the educational programs of the college. 'The faculty has charged the Administration with the responsibility of eliminating pledging as it stands," Gothold said. "What we offered them was an opinion; we gave them a directive. We are asking for something to happen; we are going to be watching and will attempt to influence it," Adams said.
