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 ” _

USC Housing has received na

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.
