I'owell said he was within "striking distance" of the necessary nine votes to win a majority on the council. Hut he conceded on "Fox News Sund.iy"that the French appeared set to "do everything they can to stop it" by using their veto. Such a veto, he warned, would "have a serious effect on bilateral relations, at least in the short term." He said it remained unclear where two other veto bearing nations, Russia and China, stood on a vote that could take place as early as Tuesday. Nevertheless, I'owell said he was leading intensive efforts over the weekend to win over several other governments, hoping to muster the nine necessary votes. He said U.N. inspectors should have focused inure public attention on Iraqi shortcomings contained in a report circulated among Security Council members and that the United States would be making more details from it public in the days to t ome. d he-ha- s 173-pag- e The New York Times, meanwhile, reported in Monday's editions that, acording to American officials, the inspectors recently discovered a new variety of rocket apparently intended to strew bomblcts filled with chemical or biological agents over large areas. I'owell did not refer to cluster bombs in his TV appearances, but noted that the U.N. report discusses the possibility of Iraq having drone aircraft that would violate weapons restructions. The paper, which said it had been provided a copy of the inspectors report, said it referred to videotapes showing "personnel conducting tests of a cluster bomb that appears to utilize submunitions warhead compobased, in part, on nents." The foreign minister of Guinea, a Security Council member, will visit administration officials this week, national security adviser Condolcczza Rice said on ABC's "This Week."Askcd whether the administration was trying to entice potential backers with promises of financial aid, as it sought to do with Turkey, Rice said, "We're talking to people about their interests." Rice refused to say which nations the United States is counting on for supportive votes. Powell and Rice took to the airwaves in a series of news interviews Sunday amid a tide of opposi tion to war from foreign leaders and their constituents, and from many Americans. Police arrested five anti-wprotesters outside the ABC studios in Washington where Rice was interviewed, and several demonstrators followed her to the CBS offices where she was interviewed by "Face the ar Nation." Late Sunday afternoon, r 23 protesters were arrested outside the Capitol. Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubcl said the arrests came after police reached agreement with a group who wanted to be arrested. She said police established a line and protesters were arrested for crossing it. Those arrested face a $50 fine, she said. Thousands of protesters converged on the White House to voice opposition to war Saturday, and additional demonstrations were planned for Sunday. anti-wa- 1 rial. Sen. Hob Bennett, sees little benefit from the research that ends with the destruction of human cells. "The benefits that are being promised by therapeutic cloning are all completely theoretical and virtually unproven." he said. SALT LAKE CITY-- A budget proposal from President Bush that cuts federal funding for children of e military personnel would mean a loss for Davis school district. The district, which educates about 7,500 students connected to Hill Air Force Base, receives about $1 million a year from the federal government. That impact aid would be cut by about $200,000, said district spokesman Chris Williams. The Davis School District spends about $365 million a year on education. "At this point, every dollar is critical in education, so whether it's federal money or state money we're hoping to hang on to as much as we can in our budgets," Williams said. off-bas- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmim UNIVERSITY WEATHER 5742 MONDAY: r MOSTLY CLOUDY TUlSDAl: MOSTLY CLOUDY 5441 WEDNESDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY THUISDAT: MOSTLY SUNNY 5839 6340 FRIDAY Did You Know... .. that the University of Utah has a radio station?

"As a The School of Social Work matter of war and peace, most people would prefer to be on the side of peace I would prefer to be on the side of peace," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." reds OKLAHOMA of people walked for peace in a silent procession around the site of the bombed out Murrah Building on Sunday, a quiet contrast to the raucous demonstrations that continued around the nation this weekend both for and against a war in CITY-Hund- Iraq. "We walk around this monument to feel the power of one bomb that hit our community," said Nathaniel Batchcldcr, with the Oklahoma City Peace House. Escorted by police cars, participants walked wordlessly through the empty downtown streets, carrying signs that said "War is not the answer" and "Brains not bombs." "I pray for President Bush, I pray the U.N. Security Council, I pray for the people of Baghdad," said Sister Miriam SchnocB'elcn, a Benedictine sister with the Red Plains Monastery in Oklahoma City. In Columbia, S.C., more than 200 people rallied to show support for U.S. troops at the Statehousc, which has been a gathering ground lately for antiwar groups. UNITED NATIONS The United States and France were locked in a race Sunday for Security Council votes that could make or break international support for war in Iraq. As Washington worked the phones, the French foreign minister headed to Africa to try to persuade undecided council members to reject a resolution which gives Saddam Hussein a March 17 ultimatum to disarm or face war. U.S. Ambassador John Ncgroponte told the council to be ready to cast their votes by Tuesday. Key swing voters, such as Mexico and Pakistan, which want to come on board with the United States, are asking for a few extra days to negotiate a deadline beyond the March 17 date proposed by Washington. Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday there was a strong chance the United States could get nine or even 10 votes, adding that most of the undecid-ed- s were making up their minds over the weekend. last-minu- U.S.-back- te ed WO R.LD Gunmen Seize Bus, Compliance Could Kill Two and Flee Change Perception Courtesy Todd Foisy www.met utah.educampustorecast MARCH 10 Judicial Authority In the Biblical Story of Sodom and Gomorrah" at 4:30 p.m. in 255 OSH.

The bus was traveling between Cotabatao City and Davao on the southern island of Mindanao at about 6:30 a.m. when gunmen fired on it and took about 40 passengers hostage, said Farida Malingco, mayor of the town of Pikit, near where the incident happened about 575 miles southeast of Manila. Passengers in three vehicles traveling behind the bus also were taken hostage, said Army Capt. Onting Alon, deputy spokesman of the 6th Infantry Division in the area. He did not know how many people were in those vehicles. Army Col. Carduzo Luna said a soldier in civilian clothes was shot in the head. The soldier could have been a bus passenger, Luna said. BAGHDAD, Iraq A top Iraqi official said Sunday he is convinced the United States has decided to go to war but that Iraq's cooperation with U.N. weapons inspectors would strengthen opposition on the Security Council to U.S. war plans. Iraq's chief liaison to the inspectors, Maj. Gen. Hossam Mohamed Amin, belittled a U.S. and British proposal to give Saddam a March 17 ultimatum to disarm or face war, saying Baghdad was trying to meet U.N. inspectors' demands. "We are working hard to meet our obligations and to overcome any obstacles," he said. "Whether that takes a week, to days, or a month, we arc doing everything we can. We are not interested in dates and times." Amin ticked off examples of Iraqi cooperation, saying Baghdad has proven it has no nuclear weapons and will soon prove it has rid itself of biological and chemical weaponry as well. and Jewish Family Services present a "Stress Relief Support Group" Feeling stressed out?
