He said he hoped Iraq would not try to hide anything. Blix said inspectors would be taking along more sophisticated equipment than was available when the inspection program was suspended in December 1998. “We do of course expect to get tips from the (U.N.) member states,” Blix said. “We also have modern equipment that is supe rior to what we had in the past. But... we would like the Iraqis to declare, and this is an opportuni ty for them to do so and we hope that they will seize that opportu nity.” Blix favors cooperation in stead of confrontation with the Iraqis, and the differences in ap proach could create tension be tween the inspectors and the Bush administration, U.N. offi cials said Sunday on condition of anonymity. Although Blix has urged the United States to provide more in telligence support for his mis sion, he also warned over the weekend of the pitfalls of such co operation, saying the previous in spection mission failed in part because of its close association with government intelligence agencies and Western states. In a nod to U.S. concerns, Blix and ElBaradei said inspections will be tough, thorough and leave no space for deceit. Housing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 member. “The residences are ex pressing their voice, and they must be heard on this issue.” Sizemore under scrutiny Hark said students and resi dence-hall staff members are con cerned about safety on campus. He said residence-hall staff com plained to RHA about Sizemore Security, which monitors USC’s residence halls, and questioned the company’s effectiveness in monitoring visitation. Capstone^ and Bates House, which are on* the outskirts of campus, filed the most complaints about security. Hark said he was disturbed by these complaints. “Common sense would tell me that the far ther you are away from the cen ter of campus, the more you are subject to outside crime,” he said. Parking Parking has long been a prob lem that RHA hears about. This year, many upperclassman resi dence halls have suggested elimi nating freshman parking. “Parking is not something that we are focused on at the moment because of other pressing issues, Hark said. m Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk(athotmail.com Fossils CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 tunity, and I suspect that before this is over, we’re going to be tak ing things out of there that haven’t been seen anywhere else in the United States.” Knight said the saber-toothed cat specimens excite him the most. “Saber-cat fossils are rare as hen’s teeth,” he said. “If you find a saber tooth fossil, you’ve scored.” r The dig is attracting paleontol ogists from all over the United States, including experts from the Smithsonian Institution and pri vate organizations. “The research possibilities of this site are endless, probably lim ited only by the researcher’s imag ination,” Knight said. The origin of the fossil deposits is uncertain, Knight said, though he thinks some environmental catastrophe is to blame. “We may never know what hap nnnorl hut we’ve only been on the site for a few weeks,” he said. “The chances are that these ani mole nr/-v4- ooiirrVif --—.— o“ ~ "O down there in some event or events because the bones all lay directly along the stream channel.” The fossil bed will give scientists extensive insight into many facets of the past. “Scientifically, we now have the opportunity to look at the South Carolina Pleistocene (Ice Age) from a population stand point,” Knight said. “It provides perspective. You have to look at South Carolina as a constantly changing place.” Dusty Sroufe, a first-year me r»V\anir»al onoinonr. ing student, was impressed with the evidence of an an cient South Carolina. “I didn’t know that saber fnntVi fifTQi’c rrionf armadillos and camels existed in South Carolina,” he said. “I think it’s interesting that they might find more.” Knight said fossil discoveries by such companies as Giant Cement are common because they do so much digging, and similar An amateur collector found saber-toothed cat fossils in a quarry in Harleyville. fossil beds probably exist else where in South Carolina. “They’re not rare so much; we just haven’t gotten to them. I sus pect that there have been a num ber of these kinds of sites found in the state,” he said. “Some of the best fossils in the world are proba bly in someone’s driveway as ce ment.” With so much early success, Knight is confident the dig will yield still more valuable evidence from the past. “We only got onto the site in a big way about three weeks ago,’* he said. “I suspect that we haven’t even made a deep scratch in a very large surface.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com I all you can bowl shoes + fun $7.99 per person $L00 off with college ID on weds.
