North Carolina Central University February 6,1991 Congress anxious to end Saddam's regime in the Middle East WASfflNGTON - A cho rus of “Saddam Must Go” is rising from a Congress angered by Iraqi Scud missile attacks and the parade of apparently abused allied prison ers-of-war in Baghdad. Even some members of Congress who opposed the start of war now insist that Saddam Hussein must be removed from power in Iraq Others want Saddam tried as a war criminal. And some say they would countenance Saddam’s as sassination. None of those steps is spe cifically authorized by the United Nations or congressional resolutions authorizing the Allied attack on Iraq after Jan. 15. Officially, the war’s aims are limited to the removal of Iraqi troops and a vague call for “stability” in the region. But Resident Bush is suggesting that Saddam be “brought to justice,” and the rhetoric is plainer in Congress. “TTie goal is not sim ply the removal, but the end of the Saddam Hussein r^ime Iraq. I think most Americans share that,” said Rep. Eliot Engel, D- N.Y., who introduced a sense of Congress resolution calling for trying Saddam as a war criminal. The resoluticm also op poses any “deal” that would let Saddam ’ s crimes be forgiven if he stepped down voluntarily. Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, suggested Thursday that the United Nations convene a world court to try Sad dam. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, R-N.Y., said Thursday he will go to Israel to try to convince Israeli intelligence to cooperate with the United States on a joint effort to “bring this monster to justice.” Even Sen. Dale Bump ers, D-Ark., who opposed the war- authorizing resolution, said he ex cluded after watching the videos of American POWs that “Saddam, preferably, needs to be eliminated in the extreme.” Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said, “Saddam Hussein is a men ace to his own people, to the re gion and to peace in the world, and we have got to take him out.” But Lott said he isn’t sure he’d risk “one American life just to get him.” That’s the problem, cau tioned Rep. Lee Hamiltx, D-lnd., former chairman of the House In telligence Committee. If theU.S. objective is to kill Saddam or remove him from power, “that he really has no reason to negotiate at all and he will fight to the end.” New feature student of the week The Cattij^sEchn staff is ai4ung merohers to stuidtenta week the Echo staff wSI feature thepaper> Hie student widS he chosen iceordifig to yonr etiteiia.: :W^ hopetitatyoH wHIehoose tMmetme who wilt r^eseHt the Uufverwty welL We askthtdyoosubraitfke SameS::6f:the:StndeUtS:ftftt:J!Mt wUt be ttomraatiug to S{»eltmanln Ofliee 3d$nf the CottttffiutnicatiotlEsBulldittgi.;::: Thank ym for yootr conpera*- Hun. Edu-Kare: child care for night time students By Kimberly Thornton Campus Editor North Carolina Central Univer sity has a large population of parents taking night classes. Some of the parents bring their children to class because there is no inexpensive place or no one to watch their children. Or so they think. Edu-Kare is a licensed child care program for students taking classes between five p.m. and 10 p.m. The program is headed by Rosa Anderson who helped start the program five years ago with Chancellor Richmond, Dr. George Reed, and Dr. Beverly Bryant. Anderson considers the program a service to the NCCU students, as well as faculty and staff. The program helps the par ents by helping the children with their homework or teaching them fine motor skills. The atmos phere is more relaxed at Edu- Kare than at a regular day care program. “These children have been in classes from 7:30 a.m. til about 3:30, we try to make Edu-Kare a fun place to come to...we are teaching but it is through play,” said Anderson. Parents must fill out an application package which also contains a medical form and disciplinary form before enrolling their child. Edu- Kare is not a costly program. Parents only pay five dollars a night per child, and they pay only for the nights that the child is there. Occasion ally, Edu-Kare has been used by those outside the NCCU community and Anderson says that they will soon start charging those parents more because Edu-Kare is for the University. Edu-Kare has had numerous problems when it first began. Anderson said the en rollment was small and she was the only teacher. For the first two years the program was bounced from the home eco nomics lobby and then to the women’s gym. Anderson said problems arose when the children’s art work was tom down by the people wanting to play basketball in the gym. “That was not the best enviroiunent for our kids, but that’s the struggle Edu-Kare had to go through.” said Anderson. Finally, Edu-Kare began using the nursery in the home economics building where the program is currently operat ing. Another problem Edu- Kare had to face was funding. Anderson said that the admini stration did not give Edu-Kare any money to start. The program was rejected by the administration when they applied for a grant to support the cost of miming Edu-Kare. Getting publicity for Edu-Kare has been another problem. Anderson said they have done everything to get the word out about Edu-Kare. This has fmstrated Anderson and she feels Edu-Kare doesn’t get enough support from the University. “I notice teachers allow them[students] to bring their kids to class and they know the program is here. I’ve sent letters, I’ve gone person ally to themfteachersj. We’ve been here five years and anyone who doesn’t know, [about Edu- Kare] it’s because they’re not trying to be aware of what’s going (oi|.” Anderson says the parents involved with Edu-Kare are supportive and the children love the program, but she still feels Edu-Kare is not up to its fullest potential. Edu-Kare is fully super vised, along with Anderson who is a teacher, a teacher’s aide and a graduate assistant. The number of children enrolled is small so each child gets enough attention. The children get a snack and a hot meal from NCCU’s ca feteria. They go to the library which Anderson says the children enjoy very much. The children are taught social etiquette and computer skills. Anderson says there is no televi sion at Edu-Kare but they do watch educational films. For the Edu-Kare’s future, Anderson would like to see the program expand to have a facility to take care of infants as well as establish a babysitting referral service and a course on parenting.
