Udalt CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Protecting the environment is something I’ve always thought was important,” Bergen said. “So winning this scholarship means a lot to me.” Randier, a third-year geology student, said she applied for the ] scholarship last year but wasn’t 1 chosen as a recipient. 1 “I’m really interested in envi- i ronmental public policy, so the fit 1 with the scholarship was really good,” she said. “I’m really inter- I ested in environmental law.” i Randier said she grew up in Beaufort and explored the marsh lands at a plantation near her 1 louse. She said that being around hose natural resources is .why she hinks it’s so important to “save >ur natural resources and to pro ect and value what we have.” “I would recommend applying or the Udall Scholarship to any ine interested in environmental ssues,” Randier said. Novella Beskid, a director in he Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs, said the stu dents’ mentors play a key role in the application process. “They provide expertise in a va riety of different disciplines that help the students polish and craft their applications to be national ly competitive,” she said. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com War CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 to restore security and vital ser vices for civilians. Soldiers thwarted a Baghdad bank rob bery over the protests of Iraqis eager to share in the loot, and Marines sought to calm tensions in Mosul after shooting 17 Iraqis to death in clashes over the past two days. “The war is not over,” Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld warned an audience at the Pentagon. But the State Department awarded Bechtel Restoration of San Francisco a contract worth $34 million im mediately and as much as $680 million over 18 months to evalu ate and repair Iraq’s power, elec trical, water and sewage systems. And the USS Constellation steamed from the Persian Gulf for its home port of San Diego, carrying dozens of warplanes that helped bomb Iraqi forces into submission. It was the sec ond aircraft carrier ordered home in recent days. Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks an nounced the capture of Barzan Ibrahim Hasan, a half brother of the former Iraqi leader who is the five of clubs in the Pentagon’s deck of most-wanted Iraqis. Hasan was an adviser to Saddam “with extensive knowl edge of the regime’s inner work ings,” Brooks said. He also was responsible for managing Saddam’s wealth, ac cording to the Coalition for International Justice, a non profit organi zation based in The Hague, Netherlands, and Washington. A U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Hasan had been an adviser to Saddam’s regime since 1998 but had a shaky rela tionship with his half brother and was not part of the regime’s inner circle. He was a representative to the United Nations in Geneva from 1989 to 1998. He headed Iraq’s Mukhabarat intelligence service from 1979 to 1983, a period when the organization arranged exe cutions of regime opponents in Iraq and overseas, the official said. Brooks provided scant details of how Hasan was nabbed, say ing that he was taken in Baghdad and that U.S. special forces were aided by Marines. He said there were no casualties. Last week, U.S. warplanes bombed a building west of Baghdad where Hasan was be lieved to be living. Another of Saddam’s three half brothers, Watban Ibrahim Hasan, was captured earlier by U.S. forces. The third has not been found. The search for weapons of mass destruction continued in Iraq, but Rumsfeld said he doubted any would be found un til Iraqis lead American forces to them. The Bush administra tion cited the desire to eliminate such weapons as one key reason for going to war. “I think what will happen is we’ll discover people who will tell us where to go find it,” he said. “It is not like a treasure hunt where you just run around looking everywhere, hoping you find something.” Hans Blix, the chief U.N. weapons inspector for Iraq, urged the U.S.-led coalition to al low his team back into the coun try, saying it would increase the credibility of any weapons dis coveries. The team left Iraq just before the war, after several months of work. “We had credibility and we didn’t lend it to their con tentions, and I think that we were right and I think so far nothing has proved us wrong,” Blix told The Associated Press. FBI Director Robert Mueller disclosed that agents are in Baghdad to help recover items from the antiquities museum and other cultural facilities loot ed in recent days. They will aid international ef forts to recover stolen items “on both the open and black mar kets,” he said. “We are firmly committed to doing whatever we can to secure these treasures to the people of Iraq,” he added. In addition, Mueller said 25 FBI agents were among the U.S. officials who are carefully ex amining Iraqi documents, found by U.S. forces, for links to ter rorists, potential terror plots, ev idence of weapons of mass de struction and activities of Iraqi intelligence agents. Interna tional ex perts, ap palled at the looting of Iraqi histori cal artifacts, met in Paris under U.N. auspices and called for a tempo rary embargo on trade in Iraqi cultural objects. Some participants said it ap peared the looting was orga nized, and that some of those in volved had keys to museum vaults and were able to remove items from safes. One official suggested the ef fort was organized from outside Iraq. “In fact I’m pretty sure it was,” said McGuire Gibson, a University of Chicago professor and president of the American Association for Research in Baghdad. He added that if a good police team were put together, “I think it could be cracked in no time.” The Baghdad museum housed irreplaceable Babylonian, Sumerian and Assyrian collections that chron icled ancient life in the cradle of civilization, the area around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.' American forces have been criticized for failing to stop loot ing in several cities, and there have been complaints that hu manitarian relief has been slow in arriving. U.S. troops found about 1,500 unmarked graves in the north ern city of Kirkuk, but it was not immediately clear whose corpses they held. U.S. military officials surveyed the site Thursday. “We are firmly committed to doing whatever we can to secure these treasures to the people of Iraq.” ROBERT MUELLER FBI DIRECTOR Enjoy a campus atmosphere without the dorm!
