BY BASSEM MROUE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, IRAQ - Japan put off a decision Thursday on send ing troops to Iraq, a day after the deadliest attack on coalition forces since the war, and South Korea ■k >ped its contribution at 3,000 soldiers — new setbacks to U.S. hopes for easing the pressure on its forces. U.S. troops pounded suspected guerrilla targets in the capital for a second-straight night under a new get-tough campaign against uit; insurgency. And the top American admin istrator, L. Paul Bremer, headed back to Baghdad after two days of White House talks with orders that Iraqis should take more re sponsibility for governing. On the eve of a visit to Tokyo by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Japan decided the time isn t right to send its forces to T-aq, indicating its deployment ght be delayed until next year. Japan had hoped to send troops to Iraq to help rebuild the country by the end of 2003, but chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda backed off, saying Iraq is still too unstable. “Japan has said it wants to think about the timing” of its de ployment, national security ad viser Condoleezza Rice said in Washington. “We understand that. South Korea also decided to limit its contribution to 3,000 troops, President Roh Moo-hyUn announced. Denmark also re jected a push by two Danish sol rs’ unions to bolster its 410 ^^mber force by 100 more troops. Many countries and agencies in Iraq, including Spain, the ■ Netherlands, the United Nations I and the international Red Cross, have been reconsidering their pres ence since they became targets. The reassessments came a day I after Wednesday’s suicide truck bombing at a base for Italian I forces in the southern city of Nasiriyah killed at least 32 people I — 18 of them Italians — and I wounded more than 80. Officials said several of the wounded are not expected to survive. Speaking to reporters Friday en route to Asia. Rumsfeld said ■ countries that decide to partici- I Pat6™ ™Uitary operation* in Iraq I =V)uld do so only if they believe it I ■ i tbeir own interest. It s a dangerous country it’s I a violent country, ” Rumsfeld said. I “It’s been a violent country for a long time and it very likely will be for a long time. Certainly people S need to participate there with their eyes open. ” f;|H Bremer headed back to Baghdad to work with Iraqis on " developing a plan to speed up es tablishment of an Iraqi govern ment. In Washington, a senior U.S of- | Afll ficial said the Bush administra- M"lj tion is proposing elections in the first half of next year and forma tion of a government before a con stitution is written. For months, the administration has insisted that Iraqi leaders write a constitution and hold elec tions before power shifts from U S occupiers to Iraqis. But on Thursday, Rice said the Iraqi Governing Cc ancil has re sisted that American timeline. “It is still important that the Iraqi people have a permanent constitution and elections for a permanent government. Nothing has changed,” Rice said. “But what is also important is that we find ways to accelerate the trans fer of power to the Iraqis — they are clamoring for it; they are we believe, ready for it.” President Bush also expressed resolve to curb the violence against coalition forces. 'We’re going to prevail,” he said. "We’ve got a good strategy to deal with these killers ” _ -- * i'it GAMECOCK ♦ News 3 E Award honors Housing's S^een initiative’ program BY CARRIE GOODIN * the GAMECOCK USC Housing has received na i tional recognition for its ad vancements in protecting the en j vironment. Commended for its collabora | tlon with the School of the Environment, Housing was J awarded the 2003 Innovative j Achievement in Auxiliary 5 j Services Award from the I National Association of College | Auxiliary o_i vitca. Housing | has been j recognized for its envi ronmental efforts be ! fore, but this award I io c:_i -HI JL national recognition of Housing’s green initiative. Housing has started several such initiatives to make on-cam j pus.living more financially and environmentally efficient. Housing Director Gene Luna said a common misconception about environmental initiatives is that they are more expensive. He said improvements such as replacing 250 computer monitors , with flat-screen LCD monitors or switching to high-efficiency I washers and dryers will actual ! ly save money. The LCD monitors are pro jected to save $8,000 a year, and “I think it’s great that the university is trying to save energy arid help recycle.” MEREDITH MCKEEVER THIRD-YEAR geography student the washers and dryers are ex pected to save $19,600 a year as well as 2 million gallons of wa ter. Housing is also using alterna tive fuel vehicles that Luna says will save $16,000 a year. Housing partners with local charities to participate in the Take It or Leave It program, in which students and staff mem bers are encouraged to recycle old cardboard, cinder blocks and other useable products. In nno vaop /in __ r «/ -I luuo cinder blocks were donated to Habitat for Humanity, which used them to build four houses. Also, l million pounds of food have been donated to the Rarvaot Hope Food Bank. According to Luna, the biggest breakthrough so far in the sustainability efforts was having the new West Quad resi- I dence hall become the first building on campus to gain cer- , tification as environmentally re- « sponsible. “It’s started a trend and has f served as a catalyst for others ” said Luna. USC’s Arnold School of Public Health is also going to be certi- ■ ned, as well. I Luna encouraged students to . oner suggestions and get more in- I volved by sharing ideas about how to make USC more environ- | mentally sound. “I think it’s great that the uni versity is trying to save energy and help recycle," said third-year geography student Meredith McKeever. In the future, Housing plans to take the environment into ac count when looking at any new materials. Furniture will be partly made of recycled material and will use low-emission glues. West Quad will be used as a demonstration site for students to discuss and learn from displays about fuel cells, solar panels and other en- ' vironmentally friendly materi als and techniques.
