GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE Thursday, January 31,1991 No. 6 SewiKf tAe- enti'tc ea*KtKa*tUtf Boiling Springs, North Carolina WAR RAGES IN PERSL^N By Dawn E. Camp Managing Editor What's Happened In the days just prior to the January 15th deadline for Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait, people around the world watched carefully and hoped for a last-minute attempt at peace. Even before the deadline expired, it was obvious that this peace would not come. President Bush said, "Saddam is up against an immovable force. He’s up against some thing that’s not going to yield. He’s up against a situation under which there will be no compromise...and there will be none." Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said, "Our armed forces and the great Iraqi people are ready for a showdown that would defeat the forces of aggression and infidelity. We wili make them swim in their own blood." Americans stayed close by televisions and radios during the day of the 16th. America was a nation, literally, waiting for a bomb to drop. The only uncertainty was who would drop the first one. Those uncertainties were cleared up at 6:30 p.m. (EST) on Jan. 16, when the allies dropped the first bombs on Iraq. The early SYRIA Israel Haifal Caspian Sea Mediterranean Sea Baghdad IRAQ TelAvii Jerusalem' Dhahr: Riyadh E EGYPT SAUDI ARABIA ARABIAN SEA reports of the war brought a sense of euphoria to America. The allied pilots were pounding Iraq, and Saddam Hussein’s men were offering minimal resistance. Many analysts thought the war would not last long. American Defense Secretary Dick Cheney described the early phases of the war as "So far, so good." He warned against feeling too confident of early, easy victory. He added, "There have been casualties, and there are likely to be more." At 9:00 p.m. on Jan. 16, President Bush addressed the nation. He said, "Our goal is not the conquest of Iraq.

They miss having their old meeting places where they can socialize with friends. Well, this problem no longer exists here at GWC. Thanks to a lot of hard work and long hours, the Charles I. Dover Campus Center is now completed. The DCC reopened this semester for student use. On the top level are the Student Develop ment Offices, conference rooms, the newly modernized cafeteria, and a student lounge. The lounge is used by many stu dents for quiet reading. On the bottom level, the campus bookstore, a banquet hall, the post office, the commuter’s lounge, and a TV lounge are located. The bottom floor is also used as a meeting place to talk and have fun. In the near future, a snack bar will be opened for the students. The new DCC has its own distinctive charm and is designed with the use of school colors. DO O SPECIAL 'C oSMAU-o OFFICE ! When the DCC was closed for remodel ing, the students lost their only real place to get together. In some ways students lost contact with each other as well as missing out on a lot of fun times together. Now that the DCC is completed, the students here at GWC can begin to strengthen those old ties once again. This diagram shows the floor plan for the first floor of the newly renovated Charles I. Dover Campus Center. See page 3 for faculty and student opinions on the building’s new look.
