A Russian envoy spoke with President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, leading the way among Iraq’s sympathizers in pushing for a diplomatic solution. France, TUrkey, the Arab League, Iordan and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat all launched their own peace missions and appeals to Saddam. Envoys from Russia, France and Turkey would stress the same mes sage, France’s Foreign Ministry said: The danger would end only if Iraq gave in to U.N. demands for full ac cess to all suspected weapons sites. At the United Nations, Secretary- General Kofi Annan asked the Securi ty Council to double the amount of oil Iraq can sell under an exemption to a U.N. embargo. The United States and Britain, Iraq’s leading adversaries on the council, indicated they could go along with the increase for humani tarian reasons. The step could ease tensions in the crisis. For its part, Iraq insisted it was open to anything that would help avert attack. “Iraq will not neglect any oppor tunity that will help it foil American schemes to direct a military strike against it,” Foreign Minister Mo- Refunds MMMMNM wamiiwi - bm mffffiimwiiwiMi ■ ■ SiVfii I With Your mmmmm mUmm, mm, m Phone Book your ship has come in...

However, he said the professors may teach different courses or decide to use more cur rent decisions. Lorimor said that the Texas Aggie Bookstore considers professors’ re quests, the class enrollment and the book condition when buying books back at the end of the semester. “As a bookstore, we look at sell ing about 10 percent of class en rollment,” Lorimor said. “We don’t care what bookstores the books came from. We give more money for hardback books. If books are not going to be used again, then we try to give students the whole sale value of the book.” Lorimor said the bookstore loses money on books returned for wholesale price because the store must pay to mail books back to the companies. Holbert said that returning stu dents should try to reserve books at the end of the semester for the next semester. Holbert said that re serving books can cut students’ textbook bills because the used textbooks are pulled first for re serve orders. The MSG Bookstore had sever al hundred students reserve books for the spring semester, Black said. He said that more freshman tend to reserve books at the MSG Book store for the fall during their sum mer conferences.

The intercession by Iraq’s allies came as Secre- r i tary of State ■ Madeleine Al bright visited Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain, making Washington’s case for military force to end the standoff. Iraq repeat edly has refused to allow U.N. in spectors into Saddam’s palaces and other off-limits sites, drawing the American threats to attack. The inspectors are trying to de termine whether Iraq has destroyed its chemical and biological weapons programs, and a U.N. em bargo imposed after the 1990 inva sion of Kuwait is to stand until that and other conditions are met. Iraqi U.N. Ambassador Nizar Hamdoon said Iraq would fax House Speaker Newt Gingrich an invitation to send a congressional delegation to one of Saddam’s off- limits palaces. “We want to allow them to make sure for themselves there are no prohibited items in those sites,” Hamdoon said.

Castro said Cuba’s open recep tion of the pontiff’s First-ever mis sion to the communist island na tion disproved criticism of “this country as an oppressed, en slaved country.” He wore his customary green army fatigues for what was his first speech since John Paul left Cuba on Jan. 25, shucking the suit he had worn for the pope. Castro expressed “my admira tion ... my gratitude to the people for its behavior and for the suc cess achieved in the task.” He made no immediate mention of some of the pope’s blunt political messages during the five-day visit, including calls for release of its “prisoners of conscience.” The speech started at 9:30 p.m. and was still going on 1 1 /2 hours later. It was unclear how long Cas- Penalty Continued from Page 1 Mark Crawford, a student Epis copal chaplain, said he is against the death penalty in most cases be cause he regards the beginning and end of life as sacred. “Many Christians are divided on the issue,” he said. “The fact that she is a woman seems to be an issue, but is capital punishment humane for a man or a woman?” Cavell said gender is not an issue in administering the death penalty. “People may be more sympa thetic to her because she is a woman, and she goes against the stereotype,” he said. “But you have to trust the jurors who made the de cision that her crime justified the death penalty.” Crawford said life and life with out parole sentences are more hu mane because the state should not determine who should be executed, )ur a vl ekei Th gi' nt, nh tro planned to speak; months he has given spy OI lasting up to seven hours His remarks recoiMLjjj successes of the papal v): ^} t featured four Masses a. ^ island, including onea.:y e v< huge Plaza of the RevoM'Sm Castro noted that turned oiit by the tenso s . sands for John Paul'sMas.v ont other appearances. min He said that they treat, pope with respect anddsf and heeded Castro’s calC cry out the customary“Vf-i the leaders of the revolutit “This ‘oppressed, ef country’ was put at the & tion — for nearly a week' its mass media and wide of people in the street, hands of the pope, in thek thousands of foreign jourt- he said.
