Oman, Bahrain. Uni tod Arab Krnirates, Qatar and
Kuwait itself agreed to deploy part of their

A senior military official said at the Pentagon
that a majority of the Iraqi forces that had been
massed near the Kuwaiti border were moving
away,
"Portions of all but one brigade have moved."
the official said, though he cautioned that it was
not known where the troops might bo going It will

The Pentagon said Iraq, in recent days, had

Project Saferide is ordering a new van to replace the brown
van that has been a familiar sight on the University campus for
the last nine years
The student-run shuttle service was created ns an alternative
for women walking alone in the evenings, relying on others for
rides or waiting in potentially dangerous places Saferide is n
free service that only University women can ride.
.Saferide co-director Kristi Miller said they hope to obtain the
van in November and begin using it by the start of the year.
Be< a use Saferide is ordering a state vehicle, it must wait until
the next i ontraclual [>erio<l. which is the earliest date that the
state (Jin process the purchase.
"We’re getting jumbled information," she said. “It seems as
though we can't order a new car until the contracts come out.”
Saferide received $29,260 in student fees through a ballot
measure last spring to purchase the new van and him a sec
ond dispatcher to work in the evenings, honking rides and direct
ing drivers. The Increase was 67 rants per student.
Saferide co-director Marlinda Darmali estimates that Saferide
is providing an average of 50 to 60 rides to women per evening
this fall She said it is run by approximately 200 student vol
unteers who drive, dispatch and manage the office. Credit is
available through Women's Studies for students who make a
weekly commitment
This week. Saferide lost riders because of a communication
problem with its radio which had an old battery. The dispatchers
were unable to tie in touch with the drivers and had to use an
emergency radio provided by the Office of Public Safety to con
tinue operation The battery has since been replaced.
Saferide runs from 6 p m until midnight, Sunday through
Thursday On Friday and Saturday. Saferide runs until 2 a m.
Women can book rides through Saferide before 6 p in. by leav

minutes The program has two off-campus vehicles and the one

President Clinton and other U S. leaders have

In Baghdad, Saddam met privately with Russian
envoys while military attaches from Moscow and
Beijing headed south to see if Iraq had withdrawn
its forces from the Kuwaiti border.
Christopher, in a pep talk to thousands of Amer
