Battalion Classified 845-0569 Lighter stories refocus news By the Associated Press After an initial deluge, news of the Persian Gulf War has settled to a steady flow that still dominates the state’s newspapers but now competes for space with city council meetings and local crime. Editors also are actively looking for a lighter story to offset the tra gedy of war. Many of the state’s newspapers published special sec tions on the war during the first days, although most have scaled back. Initial jumps in sales have leveled off at most daily newspapers but re main higher than before the war. The Dallas Morning News, which has four reporters in the region, ran as many as 14 extra pages of war news daily in that first week. While that’s been reduced, the Morning News still runs the equiva lent of up to six full pages of war news. “Whatever it takes to tell the story,” managing editor Bob Mong said. As for balancing war news, on a typical day Page One will be about half war news and half other, he said. Tubularman by Boomer Cardinale Spade Phillips, P.l. by Matt Kowalski Iranian president offers to mediate with Iraq U.S. doubts peaceful resolution of conflict Nerd House by 7 om A. Madison WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States reacted skeptically Monday to Iran’s offer to mediate the Persian Gulf War, and President Bush declared, “We have to go for ward and prosecute this to a success ful conclusion.” “It’s going according to plan,’ Bush confidently assured the na tion’s governors, summoned to the White House for briefings on the $ 1.45 trillion federal budget he sub mitted to Congress. The budget earmarks $15 billion as a “placeholder” for increased mili tary spending for the war. Iran’s President Hashemi Rafsan- jani offered to meet Saddam Hus sein for talks on ending the 19-day- old war. Rafsanjani also said he was willing to resume official contact with Washington in the interests of peace. “What’s to mediate?” State De partment spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler said. “The only mediation ... that would be appropriate would be for the people who communicate with Saddam Hussein to convince him to comply with the 12 United Nations resolutions” demanding Iraq’s withdrawal from Kuwait. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said, “If someone can come up with a diplomatic resolution that achieves that objective, that would be fine, but I frankly don’t expect it.” White House press secretary Mar lin Fitzwater said Iran “is not directly involved in this conflict and our in terest is in getting Iraq out of Ku wait.” The United States and Iran sev- iered relations after the 1979 seizure I of American hostages at the Ameri- 'can Embassy in Tehran. Tutwiler re newed Bush’s offer two years ago for direct talks with authorized rep resentatives of the Iranian govern ment. “We are going to set the timetable for what lies ahead,” Bush said. “I have confidence that we’re doing the right thing, and I have confidence that it is going the way we planned,” the president said. “And there have been no sur prises, and there will not be any quick changes, nor will I try to tie the hands of the military because I just feel we have to go forward and pros ecute this to a successful conclusion,” Bush said. “I would not underestimate the amount of work that femalfiS to be done,” Cheney said. The secretary refused to speculate about when a ground war might be gin. “We have not established any sort of artificial timetable,” he said at a news conference. “There is no drop-dead date ... out there by which we feel we have to act.” tieZBEUT HATES TO eat alphabet soup Labor costs accelerate, economy nears recession DESIGN YOUR FUTURE Arthur Andersen & Co., S.C. Will Interview Candidates on FEBRUARY 4 & 5 for the following positions: INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER COMPUTER BASED TRAINING SPECIALISTS EVALUATION SPECIALISTS Contact TAMU Career Planning & Placement Center at 845-5139 for an interview Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/H/V WASHINGTON (AP) — The pro ductivity of America’s non-farm? workers fell 0.8 percent last year, the worst decline since 1982 and the first back-to-back reversal — coupled with the 1989 drop of 0.7 percent — in a decade, the government said Monday. Labor costs continued to rise as the tumbling economy forced busi nesses to drastically trim working hours in the final months of 1990, the Labor Department report showed. “What we have here is the worst of both possible worlds — the economy was sinking into recession at the same time labor costs were accelerat ing,” said David Jones, an economist with Aubrey G. Lanston & Co. Increased productivity, or getting more worker output per hour on the job, is considered vital to increasing the nation’s standard of living with out inflation. But the latest showing, said Jones, shows the United States is continu ing to lose its competitive edge in in ternational markets and threatens a long-term reduction in living stan dards “unless one of two things hap pens — either we sharply improve the quality of our labor force TRUTH ABOUT ACQUAINTANCE RAPE FOR MEN AND WOMEN SPONSORED BY ZETA TAU ALPHA ~ ~ FEB. 5 601 RUDDER 7 - 8 P.M SPEAKERS; LINDA CASTORIA - RAPE CRISIS CENTER BILL TURNER - DISTRICT AHORNEY BETTY LEMAE - CAMPUS POLICE MR.

The report showed that clurind the final three months of 1990, the nation’s businesses trimmed the working hours of their eniployeesai an annual rate of 2.7 percent —the! largest falloff since the depths of the 1981-82 recession. It was the second quarterly decline I in the number of hours worked, normal consequence of recession-| as businesses trim payrolls. While productivity fell for all i 1990, it was about unchanged foi l the fourth quarter, growing at J small annual rate of 0.1 percent. In the manufacturing sector, proj ductivity declined at an annual rate [ of 2.4 percent in the October-De! cember period — the largest droff since 1981. Meanwhile, factorial trimmed their hours by 6.4 percerj at the tail end of 1990.
