Political leaders stand against war push
Bill Bradbury and Peter DeFazio
express their concerns about
Congress’ war resolution and
a need for more evidence
Jan Montry
Campus/Federal Politics Reporter
Oregon Secretary of State Bill
Bradbury and U.S. Rep. 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

PASADENA, Calif. — With 15 minutes left in a
close contest at UCLA on Saturday, the players of
the Oregon football team, per tradition, each held
up four fingers as they trotted onto the field.
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

Ski season brings student discounts
Willamette Pass ski packages
are cheap for a short time only
Jody Burruss
Environment/Science/Technology Reporter
Skiers and sriowboarders have
only five more days to buy their stu
dent season passes at the discount
ed rate for this season at Willamette
Pass Ski Area.
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.
