to the al-Kindi hospital in the capital Tuesday.
Saddam’s whereabouts remained a mystery,
especially since a bombing Monday night on a
building where U.S. intelligence officials believed
he and at least one of his sons were meeting. U.S.
special operations forces scoured the site
Wednesday, looking for remains or other evidence
that the four bombs may have killed the Iraqi
leader. Russia’s Foreign Ministry denied that
Saddam had taken refuge in Moscow’s embassy in
Baghdad.
There was scattered fighting in the capital,
including at Baghdad University, where Iraqis
were cornered, the river at their backs.
Fires burned in the city after dark — the
Ministry of Transport and Communication was
ablaze — and gunfire persisted. But Pentagon
officials characterized it as sporadic attacks from
pockets of resistance, and said U.S. troops had
been through most areas of the capital.
Increasingly, American and British forces were
turning their effort to humanitarian assistance in
the southern part of the country, and their firepow
er on northern regions not yet under their control.
Warplanes bombed Tikrit, Saddam’s birthplace
about 100 miles north of the capital, in advance of
ground forces moving in. American commandos
and Kurdish peshmerga fighters seized a key
mountaintop in northern Iraq, eliminating an Iraqi
air defense installation near the government-held
city of Mosul.
To the south, officials said the 1st Battalion
Royal Irish Regiment had reached Qurnah, said to
be the site of the biblical Garden of Eden. The
troops were welcomed by cheering crowds of
Ma’dan, marsh Arabs who have suffered genocide
at the hands of Saddam. There was celebrating,
too, in Basra, according to a British journalist who
reported that rejoicing broke out after news of
developments in Baghdad reached the city.
Administration officials cautioned that difficult
and dangerous days may yet lie ahead for
American and British forces. “This is not over
despite all the celebrating on the streets,” said
Rumsfeld. And Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Iraqi death squads
still exist in the western part of the country.
Like other officials, Rumsfeld said he did not
know Saddam’s whereabouts. But he said some
unidentified members of Saddam’s regime were
moving out of Iraq into Syria.

response to that, I would say you didn’t get
here because of what you have done, you got
here because of what you are going to do.”
To ensure the Senate is productive next
year, Wilkins said he will reach out to all
senators to include them in the decision
making process.
“The Student Senate is most effective
when they speak with a united voice and
when we are working together,” Wilkins
said. “As speaker of the Senate, I will be
the uniter.”
Capps, a junior history major, touted his
extensive experience in the Senate, includ
ing two years as a committee chair, and said
he had the support of outgoing Senate
speaker Brooks Landgraf and outgoing
speaker pro tempore Logan Renfrew.
“Experience and guided leadership is
how you will focus (senators’) energy,”
Capps said. “The decision is fairly clear.”
Wilkins pointed out that his experience
with Memorial Student Center committees
and hall councils, in addition to a year on the
Senate, involved leadership roles outside the
insular environment of student government.
“Experience isn’t about resume items,”
Wilkins said.
Luke Cheatham, a former student body
president candidate who was endorsed
the Senate candidate bloc, spoke in favor
