Students react to Bush's call for cease fire
By Chris Schneidmiller
staff reporter
When George Bush officially declared
a cease fire in the Persian Gulf
War, Western students received the
news they had been waiting for since
the war began January 16. The immediate
threat to U.S.soldiers was past.
'Tmgladno-one is gettingkilled
anymore; we did our job over there,''
FRIDAY
Campus calls
senior Dennis Habib said.
In a televised speech, Bush listed
the formal terms for the cease fire.
Iraq must follow all resolutions demanded
by the United Nations Security
Council, including full withdrawal
from Kuwait and payment of restitutions
for damage and injury caused by
their aggression. All prisoners of war,
third world nationals and Kuwaiti
citizens must be freed by the Iraqis.
The Kuwaiti government must also
be informed of the whereabouts of all
land and sea mines. Bush sent Secretary
of State James Baker to negotiate
an end to the Gulf War.
Western students were visibly
divided over U.S. intervention in the
Persian Gulf. "I didn't like the war,''
Janel Coker said.
Other students said freeing Kuwait
had been the "right thing to do.''
Whether they believed in the war or
not, bringing American soldiers home
soon was a priority for Western students.
Soldiers and civilians alike hope
the Americans in the Middle East will
come home soon; but some Western
students expect an extended stay for
many soldiers.
"I don't thinH they'll all be coming
home," Smith said.
Students said soldiers remaining
in the Middle East would be there to
insure that Iraq is unable to become
the aggressor again.
"We're going to have to keep
(soldiers) there to make sure everything
we set out to do stays done,"
junior Angie Ayers said.
Relief over the cease fire is tempered
by some students distrust of
Saddam Hussein.
"I don't trust the bastard, the
cease fire could be an excuse to build
up as much as he can,'' post-graduate
student Frances K. Froehlich said.

Legislature proposes new financial-aid options
By Peter Donaldson
staff reporter
For many students, qualifying for financial
aid is like repairing today's new automobiles—
it's frustrating and the rewards are few and far
between.
As federal funding for financial aid decreases
and more students find themselves eligible only
for loans, members of Washington's legislative
body are taking steps to alleviate theseproblems.
State Rep. Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle, considers
financial aid funding a primary concern. On
Feb. 12, he unveiled House Bill 1667, a new
student-aid plan designed to make grants and
work-study assistance more available and help
keep students out of debt by reducing the state's
reliance on the loan program.
"In the last decade, more and more working
poor and middle-income families have been
excluded from previous sources of financial aid,
" Jacobsen said. "With rising tuition costs and
federal cutbacks in aid, a college degree is
becoming something only the wealthy can afford.
That would be an unfortunate and dramatic
reversal of our state's education policy.
A decrease in the federal government's share
of financial aidfor Washington during the 1980s,
from 83 to 75 percent, has left legislators in
Olympia in a pinch. State funding for financial
aid accounts for about 15 percent of the money
available. This ranks Washington about 10th
nationally in terms of states that contribute the
greatest amount toward financial-aid funding.
Jacobsen said he isn't confident this high
ranking reflects the state of affairs for
