Stewart said since Ward 3 encom
passes the University, a student
should represent the district. He said
student issues will be the focus of his
platform, including pursuing a hous
ing code and keeping large employ
ers in Eugene to employ students.
“David Kelly has been paying lip
service to the ASUO,” Stewart said.
“He had no interest in student is
sues before ward redistricting.”
Kelly acknowledged that he paid
more attention to the Eugene com
munity than to college students un
til his ward was redrawn to include
the University but said he’s taken
an active interest in student issues
for some time now.
Kelly said he’s been actively
working with ASUO to develop
housing standards for the city, and
he pointed to city efforts such as re
opening Broadway as evidence the
council has tried to keep student
interests in mind.
“It’s the culture that exists in a
university town that drew me
here,” Kelly added.
If Stewart is elected, he’ll need to
commit to at least four more years
in Eugene for his term as city coun
cilor, and McNeil said his former
running mate is up to the task.
“Maco’s the sort of guy who will
stick around, even if there was some
thing better, just because he made the
commitment,” McNeil said.
McNeil and Stewart placed ninth
out of 10 ASUO Executive tickets in
the Feb. 22 primary with 105 votes.
Stewart plans to quit his job at
the Pita Pit if elected councilor and
dedicate 25 hours or more to his
civic tasks. Kelly said he currently
devotes 35 hours a week to his job
as city councilor.

Travel
continued from page 1
travel costs rise the closer it gets to de
partures, the site still listed hotels in
Las Vegas starting at $29 and Hawai
ian hideaways starting at $62.
Other popular destinations,
such as Daytona Beach, Fla., had
airfares from Portland ranging
from $700 to $2,000-plus, depend
ing on the airline and the number
of seats available.
As the bills for tuition, living ex
penses and coffee from late-night
study sessions come pouring in, not
all students have an extra $2,000 in
their back pocket. There are cheaper
alternatives for those looking to get
away without paying an arm and a leg.
Smith recommended road trips
as an affordable last-minute alterna
tive. All you need is a vehicle, gas
and some willing passengers. Once
out on the open highway, the travel
possibilities stretch as far as the dri
ver’s imagination, or at least as far as
you can get before April 1, when
spring classes start.
Visiting friends and relatives,
camping or driving to the coast are
all affordable options.
The top place for sun seekers,
Smith noted, was California —
namely Los Angeles, San Diego and
Palm Springs. Not only are they rea
sonably close, but if students can get
a spot, plane tickets from Eugene to
Los Angeles start at $198 plus tax.
The only catch is availability.
“Tickets usually sell out by mid
November at that price,” she said.
"Book early.”
According to Smith, seats are
priced based on open slots, and
there are only a certain amount of
seats sold in each price bracket.
Sophomore David Rossi is ventur
ing to his third choice destination,
Costa Rica, for his break to get a
glimpse of life in the jungle. Although
he began the ticket search in Novem
ber for flights to the Bahamas and Ja
maica, his number one and number
two choices, nothing was open.
The shortage of flights is due in part
to airlines’ forced cutbacks after Sept.
11. Smith reported many flight sched
ules being cut as much as 25 percent to
compensate for budgets being slashed.
Current events are also causing air
ports to step up security measures.
Smith advised anyone traveling to ar
rive at the airport at least 90 minutes
before flight departures and to be pre
pared for long lines and thorough in
spections. She has even heard of in
stances where travelers were not
allowed to board their flights because
they had not arrived early enough to
go through the safety measures.
For students stuck on campus be -
cause of school activities or lack of
time and funds, there is hope. Uni
versity Housing is offering rooms at
$83 for the week, although no food
is being served.
