August 2, Iraqi troops Invaded Kuwait and by mid-month the United States and other United Nations countries had begun deploying troops to Saudi Arabia. The nation watched as the crisis was evaluated from all standpoints. Many said the U.S. in- volvement was purely economical, others said the U.S. was protecting the lives and human rights of thousands of Kuwait citizens. Mis- sissippians watched as multiple National Guard and reserve units were activated and brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters and sons were sent first to training sites and then to the Gulf. On the homefront anticipation and gas prices both escalated as the U.N. gave Saddam Hussein a January 1 5th deadline to withdraw his troops from the area. When he did not the U.S. and British forces were the first to begin bombing exercises and in less than two months, with only a minimal number of American causalities, successfully accom- plished the liberation of that region. ▲ 1 Alan Sheffield A 2 Kelly Stegal StarkvlUe Dally News 28 — Student Life

J s. studeKts (jougfo -At bo k o j e, biMqe, iRe won mM) iejJied up bdujem 4.t MA cmbs. So many temptations at college these days, keep us away from aerobics and the stairmasters and on the couch with a nice plate full of pasta. It seems that with studying and partying, and many students working, there wasn ' t enough time during the day to get out and get daily exercise. The inticements to get that exercise were many this year, as the battle between Flex One Fitness Center and Body Plex turned into an all out war. Both places have stairmasters, both places offer bench-step aerobics, both places are great places to go to workout, and both places want your business. In newspaper advertisements, on the radio and in special discounts to new members and limited membership offers, both places encouraged students to take that step to better health. Many students found the increased efforts of the businesses just the right time for them to begin taking better care of themselves. Students who don ' t opt for the organized workout effort can be seen daily walking, jogging and running along University avenue and the Square, tak- ing off last night ' s calories in a more personal and self-satisfying way.
