6 TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2003 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 MBjy — ■ "gi" -j Wm Commencement Information Day 'm Wednesday, March 19 S mSm ''' r j* i w.jja. "*‘ : M ▼ JPti.

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.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. 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. “Weil see the deadline come THE Daily Crossword By Gerald R.

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 machine 26 and kick ing 27 Lugged 28 Church part 30 Funt's request 31 " of Iwo Jima" 32 Feeling of dread 35 Ship's record 36 City on the Irtysh River remark 4 Republican symbol 5 Birthplace of St. Francis 6 Statutes 7 Window on a corbel 8 Mac Dill AFB city 9 Valued (at) 10 Be an audi ence loud mouth 11 Europe neighbor 12 Tune 13 Outskirts 21 Separate threads 22 Dwelling 25 Farmer's 2 33 HF P FIT*! 10 111 112 113 EEEEEEEEEEE 20 21 ■■23 K 2! 26 27 |26 ■■■■■29 “|3C) 31 33 ■■pT” 35 3^“”~BBtaBl37 i==“j]===yYii=i |46 47 T ■■62 "‘■“■■■63 t _ fßifi H ~~" i ‘ f|| HB lailij (sar Mrri 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. Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
