WASHINGTON President
Bush said last night the war against
Saddam Hussein was “right on
schedule.” undercutting Iraq's abili-
ty to fight back. “There can be no
pause now that Saddam has forced
the world into war, ”Bush said.

Bush delivered an upbeat assess-
ment of the first week of war but
echoed military planners who cau-
tioned against overconfidence. Bush
warned there will be “setbacks and
sacrifices."

The instructions to war planners,
Bush said, are to "get it done quick-
ly and with as little loss of life as
possible."

Military leaders said allied bomb-

ing had destroyed Iraq’s two nucle-
ar research reactors and seriously
damaged factories believed to pro-
duce chemical and biological weap-
ons.

Saddam “doesn‘t know how bad-
ly he's been hit,” Defense Secretary
Dick Cheney said. pointing to dis—
ruption of Iraq’s communication
systems.

The Pentagon warned, however.

that Iraq' 3 military machine re-
mains strong despite intense allied
attacks. “We're dealing with an en-
emy that is resourceful, an enemy
that knows how to work around
problems, an enemy that is ingeni-
ous," said Gen. Colin Powell. chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Woods takes over as Cats Win 81-65

By BARRY REEVES
Assistant Sports Editor

Sean Woods did his best impres-
sion of Isiah Thomas last night, zip-
ping his way through Florida's de-
fense and leading eighth-ranked UK
to its lOth straight victory last night
at Rupp Arena.

Woods, a point guard from India-
napolis, scored 11 straight points
during a crucial first-half mn that
lifted the Wildcats to an eight-point
lead. And his consistent second-half
play kept the upstart Gators from
getting any closer than five points
the rest of the way.

“I thought we did a good job of
pressuring them on the perimeter.“
Florida coach Lon Kruger said. “ ..
but Woods just killed us. We knew
he was a great pcnctrator, and he
showed it tonight."

Woods‘ first-half scoring outburst
was accomplished in a span of just
2:29. impressing a crowd of 24,055
fans at Rupp Arena and pleasing
head coach Rick Pitino.

“Sean just did a tremendous job
penetrating again tonight," Pitino
said.

Florida was hanging tough in the
first half before Woods took over.
The 6-foot-3 junior scored on a lay-
up. two driving 5-foot bank shots
and was 5-for-5 from the line and
kept the Gators guessing.

“All I was doing was taking what
the defense was giving me." said

Woods. who also had six assists and
four steals. “They came up on me
real tight and I tried to go by them."

UK forward John Pprhrey said:
“Again tonight. you saw that Sean
Woods is the one who makes us go.
He is a very big key to our basket-
ball team.”

Florida held Kentucky to just 5-
for-24 shooting (20.8 percent) from
three-point range. but the Cats had a
big edge. 52-37, in rebounding.

“They just worked harder on the
boards than we did," Kruger said. “I
thought they were just quicker than
we were. They wanted it more than
we did."

Craig Brown led Florida with a
career-high 18 points. and Dwayne
Davis added 12. Stacey Poole
chipped in 10 points.

UK center Reggie Hanson scored

10 points and pulled down a game-
high 15 rebounds, including 12 in
the first half. Jctl' Brassow had 15
points, 10 rebounds in carom high)
and four steals. Pclphrcy had 14
points for the Winners.

“With our style of play. shooting
is not the most important variable."
said Pitino, whose team improved
to 15-2 overall and 7-0 in the South-
eastern Conference. “If we play
good. hard defense and get on the
boards. we’ll have a good chance of
winning the bailgame."

One of Pitino’s biggest concerns
heading into the game was Ken-
tucky‘s post defense. and the fact
that Florida‘s two big men — Davis
and Livingston Chatman — aver-
aged 29.2 points a game.

U.S.S.R. seizes another building

By JOHN DANISZEWSKI
Associated Press

VILNIUS. U.S.S.R. —— Soviet
soldiers seized the central paper and
dye warehouse in the Lithuanian
capital yesterday. despite a pledge
by President Mikhail S. Gorbachev
to restore peace in the Baltic repub
lics.

“This is simply an attempt to
hamper the press in Lithuania and
certainly will increase the tension,”
Lithuanian President Vytautas
Landsbergis told a news conference.

Landsbergis said a telegram ap-
proved by the republic's parliament
was sent to Gorbachev saying the
Soviet leader should order the with-
drawal of all Soviet troops occupy-

ing buildings in Lithuania.

Gorbachev told the nation Tues-
day that his main task was to
achieve calm in the Baltics. But he
also called on the republics to abide
by the Soviet constitution.

The Lithuanian parliament‘s press
office said two civilians who
claimed to represent the Lithuanian
Communist Party announced they
were taking control when they ar-
rived at the warehouse with soldiers
at 1 pm. yesterday.

About 20 Interior Ministry sol-
diers with automatic weapons drove
up in five jeeps and took up posi-
tions throughout the warehouse.

There were just a few workers in
the warehouse. who offered no re-
sistance. said Lithuanian govern-

ment spokesman Audrius Azubalis.

He said the building had about 37
tons of paper inside, but he added
that the seizure was unlikely to have
a serious effect on news because
most independent publications have
their own supplies.

The SOviet military already con-
trols Press House the main printing
plant in Vilnius. A unit of the so-
called “black beret" troops of the
Soviet Interior Ministry last week-
end seized a similar plant in the Lat-
vian capital Riga

Cindu'a Johnson 5 past 4 1’2
years- at UK have been filled
with salad bars and meatless ta-
cos because she could not find
nutritional meals on campus to
fit her vegetarian diet.

Johnson, a fifth year architec-

ture major. said she ate meals
that probably were not as low in
calories 0r fat as she would have
liked ,.
But this semester she said she
is “a lot happier" with the selec-
tions offered by UK Food Ser~
vices.

UK Food Services has added a
vegetarian line to its already pop.
ular Lite Line. said Robin Gibbs.
assistant manager of Student
Center Food Services. The Lite
Line, implemented in the fall of
1989. is comprised of Insofar.
low calorie, low-cholesterol me~
nus created by Gibbs and her
staff. ,

Gibbs said the vegetarian line
was incorporated into the health
line menus Jan. 7 because of re»
quests from 400 vegetarian Stu.
dents on campus.

A menu listing tat, calorie,
cholesterol. and sodium counts is
posted next to die Lite and vege-

just a little bit more aware of
what they're taking in," Gibbs
said.

Cassie Dewriing, a dietetics
major, makes up the menus. She
takes into account fat content in
stead of calories to create flavor-
ful. nutritious meals that will fit
into a low-fat arid/or vegetarian
diet.

“Fat grams are more important
than calorie counting.” Downing
said.

Gibbs said a common miscon~
ception among dieters is that
counting fat grams is nOt impor‘
tant. “Fat is hard to burn." she
said.

Gibbs also said that on 3 nor—
mal low-fat diet, 30 grams of fat
