to save our city with whatever we
have," said an Iraqi civil defense
official.
In Baghdad at least 200 targets
have been hit during the air
offensive.
In the first two weeks, military
targets and communication centers
were hit. More recently, the raids
have destroyed government and
private buildings across the city.
One of the latest, targets was a
$16 million conference center near
the Al-Rashid Hotel, home to
many foreigners.
There is tremendous anger directed
at the United States, and
also a growing feeling that Saddam
should not have invaded Kuwait in
the first place.
"We Iraqis were slowly returning
to normal life after our war
with Iran (from 1980-88). There
was no need to invade Kuwait,"
said an employee at the AlRasheed
who did not want to give
his name.

said. "We need to live."

He said he also has his own
ideas about safety on campus.
"To improve safety, we should
expand the Reserved Police Officer
force," he said. "Members of
the RPO force are criminal justice
majors whose starting wage is around
$5 per hour. They've proven
to be cost-efficient, and they
work."
He also said the RPO's could
use the meter maid scooters during
the night so the outlying areas of
campus are more accessible.
"We need to improve advisement.
The most fundamental thing
we can do is to create an advisement
critique form," Shrivastava
said.
