Campus Y to sponsor
debate on Iraq in April
Leaders looking
to foster dialogue
BY JESSICA BONNEM
STAFF WRITER
With each passing day seeming
ly drawing the United States closer
to armed conflict with Iraq, the
Campus Y is planning a large,
unbiased campus debate in early
April about the crisis.
UNC’s campus recently has
been marked by many demonstra
tions and protests against the war
but little informed debate, said
Virginia Carson, director of the
Campus Y.
“The quality of dialogue on the
war is not very good,” Carson said.
“You tend to get the extreme posi
tions and less of a constructive dia
logue about the real issues.”
The Campus Y officially oppos
es war without the support of the
United Nations, but the debate will
not be focused on advocating any
particular stance, said David
Angeles, co-president of the
Campus Y.
“(The Campus Y) is making sure
there’s a good debate,” he said.
“Students need to know both sides
the pros and cons of war. And
they need to know 7 the responsibil

ity America has in going to war.”
The possibility that war will
break out soon has increased the
need for well-reasoned and
informed dialogue on campus,
Carson said. “Everybody’s sort of
apprehensive that were going to be
dropping bombs in the next few
days,” she said.
Even if
President Bush
declares war in
the next few
days, the issues
examined by the
Campus Y will
not disappear,
Carson said.
She said the
debates format
“(DiPhi) will put
both sides of the
issue out there. We
want to make sure
this is legitimate”
DAVID ANGELES, CAMPUS Y
will be flexible enough to address
whatever issues come to the fore
front of the Iraq conflict.
The debate is still in the early
planning stages, but the idea is
supported by many UNC officials,
including Chancellor James
Moeser. The event probably will
occur April 2 during the Campus
Y’s Human Rights Week.
Speakers have not been chosen
yet, but organizers want the
Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies, student-run debating
organizations, to moderate the
event. “(Debating) is what they do,”
News
Angeles said. “They will put both
sides of the issue out there. We want
to make sure this is legitimate.”
The Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies are excited to participate
in an event so crucial to today’s
political situations, said Geoff
Wessel, president pro tern of the
organizations’
Joint Senate.
“This is the
sort of thing
that really
needs to be
done,” he said.
“Not just a
debate, but
information in
general about
Iraq. It’s some-
thing eveiyone in a democratic sys
tem should know about before we
go around killing people.”
The event has been difficult to
plan because the situation with
Iraq is dynamic, volatile and diffi
cult to predict, but the event will be
held regardless of the develop
ments that arise, Carson said.
She said, “There’s a legitimate
issue both in war and peace as to
the U.N. and (America’s) relation
ship with it.”

Speech marks declaration of war
BY EMMA BURGIN
ASSISTANT STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR
Experts say that Saddam
Hussein likely will not comply
with President Bush’s ultimatum
and that military operations will
commence in the next seven to 10
days.
Bush addressed the nation
Monday night on broadcast televi
sion, announcing a 48-hour dead
line for Hussein and his sons to
leave Iraq.
Bush said that once time is up,
military action will begin to disarm
Iraq and remove Hussein from
power.
Bush has outlined an ultimatum
that is a declaration of war in all
but name, said Tim McKeown,
UNC professor of political science.
“There is no doubt about the
purpose of this speech,” he said.
McKeown said there is little
doubt a war is imminent.
“The forces are there,” he said.
“They’re prepared to do this.”
Mark Crescenzi, also a professor
of political science, said he will be
surprised if Hussein complies with
the ultimatum.

and go without any regime
change,” he said.
Bush doesn’t expect Hussein to
“save himself” by complying with
the ultimatum, said Richard Kohn,
director of UNC’s curriculum on
peace, war and defense.
“I consider this his ‘war speech,’”
he said.
For the first time, Bush empha
sized in his speech rebuilding a
postwar Iraq rather than disarm
ing the nation, Kohn said.
“(Bush’s) speech was designed to
prepare the American people for
the war he intends to undertake,”
he said.
During his speech, Bush
addressed the Iraqi people and
tried to induce the military not to
fight, use weapons of mass
destruction or commit war
crimes.
“Bush is correct to assume
diplomacy has failed and is now
focusing on a timetable and
method for military action,” Kohn
said.
He said he doesn’t think Bush
will address the United States on
television again unless it is to
inform the public that a military

campaign has begun against Iraq.
“This is his last justification for
action,” he said.
Crescenzi said he anticipates
that Bush will not declare military
action on Iraq immediately after
the 48 hours have expired.
If Hussein does not meet Bush’s
terms, the United States will attack
in the next seven to 10 days,
Crescenzi said.
“We will attack when the condi
tions are right the logistics,” he
said. “It will be night, and the
weather has to be good.”
Kohn said Bush also will try to
wait until specialized troops are
ready for combat and journalists
and weapons inspectors have
cleared out of Iraq.
Crescenzi said the U.N.
Security Council could try to pass
a resolution to prevent U.S. mili
tary action in the next few days.
But he added that the United
States and Great Britain would
veto it. A U.N. resolution fails if it
is vetoed by one permanent mem
ber of the council.
