Camps set up to aid
refugees fleeing war
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —
Refugee camps are being set up in
Jordan, Syria, Tlirkey and Iran to
receive tens of thousands of people
fleeing the war in the Persian Gulf,
the U.N. Children’s Fund said
'Tuesday.
UNICEF said it has released $2
million from its emergency reserve
fund to assist those countries that
will receive the large influx of
refugees. It said the Royal Jordanian
Airlines will transport tents, blankets
and basic health kits from
UNICEF’s supply headquarters in
Copenhagett to the camps this week.
Two new camps are being set up
in Jordan, in RuWeishid and Azraq,
to receive some 40,000 refugees in
the next two weeks. Jordan will be
able to receive at least 110,000 dis-
placed people with its five existing
camps.
Since the gulf crisis began with
the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on
Aug. 2, more than 1 million transient
foreign workers crossed into Jordan
from Iraq and Kuwait on the way to
their home countries, UNICEF said.
UNICEF said two reception
camps are being set up at Abu Kamal
and El Hal at the Syrian border with
Iraq. The agency said the Iranian
Ministry of Interior has plans to
establish border transit camps with a
total capacity of 100,000 people.
Turkey has requested $200,000
worth in technical assistance to pro-
vide water, sanitation and health
supplies.for the expected refugees.
UNICEF said the U.N. Disaster
Relief Organization has launched a
special appeal for $175 million for
humanitarian programs related to the
gulf war.
Lifers want chance to fight
LANSING, Mich. (UPI) — Like
the convicts in the movie “The Dirty
Dozen,” nearly 800 prisoners serving
life sentences at two Michigan pris-
ons want to fight in the war against
Iraq.
All they want in exchange, the
prisoners said in a petition to Gov.
John Engler, is consideration of pos-
sible commutation of their sentences
when they return.
“We applaud the gung-ho spirit of
the prisoners and their pride in the
U.S.A.,” Engler spokesman Rusty
Hills said Monday. “But we’re not
inclined to take them up on their
offer.”
The petition, mailed Jan. 14 but
yet to be received by the governor’s
office, was signed by 498 prisoners at
the Chippewa Regional Facility and
282 at the Chippewa Temporary
Facility near Kinross.
The petition asks Engler “to plead
to President Bush to accept lifer pris-
oners to volunteer to go to Saudi
Arabia.”
“We ask nothing more than, first,
we be allowed to serve and, second,
any prisoner who serves well will be
considered for possible commutaton,”
the petition read.

LU participates ;
for first time
4
in College Bowl •
By Dee Gilchrist
UP staff writer_
Lamar will be one of 300 colleges
and universities participating in
College Bowl 1990-91, Ken
Lamartiniere, LU-Beaumont’s assis-
tant director for programs, said.
Lamartiniere said that to his
knowledge this is the first time
Lamar has taken part in this pro-
gram, which is being sponsored by
the Setzer Student Center Council
and organized and administered with
the cooperation of the Association of
College Unions-International.
LU’s Campus Tournament is
scheduled for Feb. 22 at 1:30 p.m. in
the Landes Auditorium of the
Galloway Business Building.
“Lamar’s tournament will, ideally,
be double elimination, consisting of
several rounds of play and resulting
in a final champion,” Lamartiniere
said. Spectators are welcome.
The champion team will attend
the regional championship at North
Texas State in Denton. The National
Championship Tournament, to be
held April 26-28, will feature 15
regional champions and a wild card
team.
Competitive teams for Lamar’s
tournament will, ideally, consist of
four players, one of whom is team
captain, and an alternate. Teams of*
fewer than three participants will not
be permitted.
Individual teams may be spon-»
sored by a campus organization or
may consist of a group of individuals
who are interested in testing their*
academic knowledge. Registration
forms are available from the Setzer
Center Council office and the-*
Student Government Association
f
office. Deadline for submission of
registration forms is Feb. 8. *
Lamartiniere said a championship
trophy will be presented to the win-
ning team to be displayed at the uni-*
versity. He hopes this program will be,,
well received by LU students and
will become an annual program. ’
College Bowl is a question and
answer game of general knowledge-*
and quick recall. It covers facts in
many academic disciplines, including
history, literature, science, religion*
and geography. Also covered are cur-
rent events, the arts, social sciences,
sports, popular culture and multi-cul-*-
tural questions. 4
College Bowl, created in 1953, has
received citations from Presidents*
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson,*
Reagan and Bush and began official
intercollegiate competition in 1977.
