Bush looks to rebuild support for war The Bush administration, anticipating a successful U.N. Security Council vote on an Iraq resolution, plans to em­ bark soon on a campaign to build public support in the Unit­ ed States to challenge and most likely unseat Iraqi Presi­ dent Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials said. At a time when polls suggest declining enthusiasm for a U.S.-led military assault on Saddam, top officials will urge opinion makers to focus on Saddam's actions in re­ sponse to the U.N. resolution on weapons inspections. They aim to regain momentum and prepare the · political ground for his forcible ouster, if necessary. The public relations effort "has to focus on all the things that have gone on in Iraq, the threats it presents and the way people have had to live. And the fact that things could be a lot better if he wasn't around," a se­ nior Bush administration official said. With the administration's blessing, a new group is form­ ing to press the case in the United States and Europe for eject­ ing Saddam from power. Called the Committee for the Lib­ eration of Iraq, the organization is modeled on a successful lobbying campaign to expand the NATO alliance.

thaca College needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror before attempting to makeover its im­ Iage in the eyes of the public. The board of trustees has approved a marketing strat­ egy, and now, the college's first executive director of marketing communications is poised to begin his work. The goal: to "target all audiences with the same mes­ sages about the college" and in so doing, to increase the quality of the student body, level of alumni giving and reputation nationally and internationally. On the surface there~s nothing wrong with any of this. But look; deeper, and one begins to see that the college may be spending too much time and money touching up its outward appearance instead of striv­ ing to solve its inward shortcomings. Provost Peter Bardaglio says students should be coming to Ithaca College and reacting with, "Wow, it's just like I heard about." Unfortunately, if the col­ lege markets .itself as something it i~ not, they will be sadly disappointed when they enroll as students.

BY JOSH MCCANN Staff Writer

Bomber midfielder Jared Smith said af­ ter Saturday's 1-0 escape over Elmira that the "most composed team" would win the in­ augural Empire 8 Conference tournament. Turns out, those words would prove down­ right prophetic the next day in Men's soccer Ithaca's even tighter 2-1 cham­ pionship victory over Nazareth.· Everything had gone according to plan 20 minutes into Sunday's championship game, played on Ithaca's practice field due to the de­ teriorating turf of Carp Wood Field. With an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament up for grabs, the Bombers (11-5-2) had just tak­ en a 1-0 lead on a goal by sophomore Andy Smith and appeared in control of the contest. Then disaster struck. Sophomore mid­ fielder Ben Visnyei, who set Smith up per­ fectly on-the scoring play, was ejected after receiving his second yellow card during the 22nd minute for continuing to play after an offsides whistle. The disqualification, which forced the Bombers to play..a man down for the rest of the game, ·gave Nazareth a huge advantage over the last 68 minutes and a gracious op­ portunity to nab the conference crown.
