At the command’s daily news
briefing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the
Marine general reported that partly
cloudy weather Monday cut into the
! number of Desert Storm air sorties,
I reducing them to 2,400 in 24 hours.
Almost 1,000 missions were flown
I against the Republican Guard and
! other Iraqi units in Kuwait and
southern Iraq, where air strikes are
“softening up” the dug-in defenses
in advance of a U.S.-led ground as
sault.
A recent change in air tactics was
giving American warplanes greater
success against Iraqi armor and
other targets, a U.S. military source
said.
“We’re not experiencing too many
misses,” the source said, without
elaborating on the new techniques.
“We’re really having a field day tak
ing out his tanks and artillery.”
The lost plane was an Air Force F-
16 fighter whose pilot bailed out 40
miles inside Iraqi-held territory,
Neal said. The spokesman did not
specify whether the plane went

Air Force helicopters, protected
by warplanes, made a dash into “In

out the desert, Neal said. “They did
a superb job and there was one
happy camper of a pilot.”
Monday’s marine-mine explo
sions, the first time U.S. vessels have
struck Iraqi mines in the war, came
as dozens of warships crowded far
ther north in the gulf in preparation
for a possible U.S. Marine amphib
ious landing.
A news-pool dispatch from the
USS Tripoli said sleeping crewmen
were jarred awake by a mine blast at
4:30 a.m. as the helicopter assault
ship led a minesweeping operation
off the Kuwaiti coast.
The explosion ripped a 16-by-20-
foot hole in the forward starboard
hull, 10 feet below the waterline, and
flooded several compartments, the
report said.
About three hours later, the USS

“With each individual there is a
uniqueness and you never know
what the impact is you are going to
have on any individual,” she says.
But Duncan says her goal is like a
preacher’s goal — if she helps one
person out of 50, then the job is
worth the effort.
“We engage in a kind of talk that
is culturally unique to the black fe
males and males,” she says. “Anyth
ing on their minds related to either
roommate conflicts, family issues,
racial tension or conflicts and other
problems they would like to talk
about.”
The Student Counseling Service
also has a minority student walk-in
program for students with no ap
pointment.
The service is available for black
students from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tues
days and for Hispanic students from
1 to 5 p.m. Thursdays. For more in
formation about these programs or

845-1557 or go to 300 YMCA.
Princeton, a 1-year-old, $1 billion
Aegis missile cruiser struck another
mine about 10 miles away, Neal re
ported.
Because that blast damaged one
of the Princeton’s propeller screws,
the technology-laden ship was oper
ating at 50-percent power, Neal said.
Four sailors on the Tripoli and
three on the Princeton were slightly
injured, Neal said. He said both
ships remained “fully mission capa
ble.”
The pool report said the Tripoli
sat dead in the water after the explo
sion, while work crews struggled
shore up the hole and pump
compartments on three decks.
Tripoli normally carries up to 2,000
combat-ready Marines, but military
officials indicated it might not have
had a full complement on board.
On the ground, the close-quarters
skirmishing of the weekend died
down. But U.S. artillery fire and at
tack helicopters kept the Iraqis off
balance along the front lines, the
U.S. command reported.

the proposal, they say.
“Students have never come up to
administrators with both a need and
a solution,” Taffinder says.
If the proposal is signed by Mob
ley, it will be presented to the Texas
A&M University System Board of
Regents in May, he says.
If approved by the board, the pro
ject will be put on a priority building
list by planning and facilities, Munoz
says.
“The center would be moved up
to three from 76 on the list,” he
adds.
Taffinder says the center would
provide a relaxing atmosphere for
students.
“We want to make it welcoming
and comfortable to the students.”
