Peter De Fazio of Eugene decried a congres sional resolution that gives Presi dent Bush the authority to use force against Iraq. Bradbury, who is running against Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., for the U.S. Senate, expressed his disap pointment in what he perceived as an unnecessary push for war during a press conference Saturday at the Eugene Water & Electric Board headquarters in Eugene. “There is really no more impor tant or sacred obligation bestowed upon members of Congress than the decision to send the American mili tary — which is, after all, our sons and our daughters — into harm’s way,” he said. “I have not yet heard clear and convincing evidence to justify the authorization of immedi ate preemptive, unilateral action against Iraq.” But Smith defended his vote for presidential war authority in Iraq in a statement on the Senate floor last week. “If Saddam Hussein does not com ply with United Nations resolutions and if he continues to build and stockpile weapons of mass destruc tion, then America can no longer sit on the bench,” he said. “We must take the heavy mantle of leadership to seek a peaceful regime change.” Congress voted overwhelmingly last week to grant President Bush the power to remove Saddam Hus sein from power and abolish Iraq’s nuclear chemical and biological weaponry. While Bradbury said he agrees that Hussein should be dealt with, he doesn’t support the resolution. “Now I want to be real clear: Sad dam Hussein is a ruthless dictator who has brutally repressed his own people; he’s attacked other coun Turn to Politics, page 4 "I'm amazed it came down to the same storyline as last year. — Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti mmgm Adam Amato Emerald Keenan Howry (15) eludes the grasp of a UCLA defender in the Rose Bowl on Saturday.

For the second -straight year, that fourth quarter held the key to the game and, for the second-straight year, Oregon prevailed when UCLA kicker Chris Griffith missed a long field goal. “I’m amazed it came down to the same storyline as last year,” Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti said. Oregon (6-0, 2-0 Pacific-10 Conference) beat UCLA (5-2, 1-1), 31-30 in front of 68,882 fans at the Rose Bowl.

Until 7 p.m. Wednesday, students who are enrolled in at least six credit hours can buy a student Gold Pass port with unlimited access to the mountain this season for $299 at ULLR Sports Shop. Starting Thurs day morning, prices go up to #359. Willamette Pass spokeswoman Kameron Condos said they otter stu dent discounts because students generally have less money, and school schedules might make their recreation time scarce. “Students are usually short on funds, and it’s harder for students to get up as much as adults,” Condos said. There are also other options avail able for students who don’t know if they will use a season pass enough to make it worth their money. Silver Passports can be purchased for a $49 membership price, and are available to everyone. Purchasers of the Silver Passport need to give a valid credit card number at the time of purchase. Each pass holder will re ceive a wrist band with his or her pic ture on it, and each day the pass is used, the credit card on file will auto matically be charged #25 instead of the regular price of #34. Willamette Pass will offer a paid bus service to the mountain again this year. More details about this will be available at ULLR as the season nears. This year, Willamette Pass is un veiling its new six-person chairlift, which is one mile in overall length and has the capacity to transport 3,000 skiers per hour. “It’s the only one in Oregon,” Becky Kinney, sports marketing major and sales associate for ULLR said. The six-person high-speed chairlift is the biggest and fastest in Oregon. ULLR store manager Josh Comutt said this will make it possible for more people to ski, but will not crowd the mountain, as some may think. “It will redistribute people on the mountain so it will be less clogged,” he said. Students who wish to purchase a pass need to bring a student ID and current schedule of classes to prove they are enrolled. Also, when students print schedules oft’ DuekWeb, the print-name option should be used so the students name is printed on the schedule. Contact the reporter at jodyburruss@dailyemerald.com.
