DIGITAL VINYL CD-R™ FROM VERBATIM? IT LOOKS LIKE A RECORD A long time ago, before your parents were old, music came on vinyl discs called "records”. They looked cool. But that's about it. So we decided to bring back the funky, old school look of a record and endow it with our highest quality CD-R technology. The result is a disc that both burns better and looks cooler than other CD-Rs. Nice. For a list of retailers, visit www.digitalvinylcdr.cotn. FA Verbatim.

Saddam Hussein has had 12 years to disarm,” he said. Dramatically raising his right hand, the president said that he had swore to defend the Constitution and protect America’s security. “That’s exactly what 1 am going to do,” he said. Bush promised not to lead the war into another Vietnam- like quagmire. “Our mission is clear in Iraq,” the president. “Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament. In order to disarm, it will mean regime change. I’m confident that we’ll be able to achieve that objective in a way that minimizes the loss of life.” The president’s news con ference came on the eve of a crucial Security Council meet ing. On Friday, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix and his counterpart, Mohamed EIBaradei, will report on Iraq’s measure of cooperation in eliminating its banned weapons. Their assessment could weigh heavily in deter mining the outcome of the Security Council’s vote on a resolution to authorize force. With 230,000 U.S. troops poised outside Iraq, the presi dent said only Saddam can ensure peace. “It’s his choice to make whether or not we go to war. He’s the person that can make the choice of war or peace. Thus far he’s made the wrong choice.” Before the news conference. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin talked about the U.N. resolution. White House aides said. They agreed to con tinue discussions. Intensifying his case against Saddam, Bush is considering a major address next week to explain the justification and risks of military conflict, aides said. The speech could include a final warning to Saddam while urging journalists and humani tarian workers to leave Iraq, they said. But officials said the presi dent is not inclined to set an eleventh-hour deadline for Iraq’s disarmament, fearing Saddam would use the grace period to further divide U.S. allies. They did not rule out the United States backing a British proposal that would give the Iraqi leader a few more days to disarm. But aides acknowl edged that the British proposal was unlikely to be a galva ing force. Bush has privately express frustration with Saddam’sal ty to turn France and otherai against the resolution justai months after a similar measi passed 15-0 in the Sen Council, aides said. Though he said there some hope for peace, Bi repeatedly spoke in the tense about Saddam’s ahilii avoid war — leaving the im[ sion that war was imminent “I don’t like waf’hesaii wish that Saddam Husseinh listened to the demands of world and disarmed. That t; my hope.” At turns somber a Bush joked a few times*: reporters. He grew teaiyey while saying it was a“huiti experience” to know thatpeoji he’s never met “have 1 and my family up in prayeti been a comforting fe know that.” Asked how his fa guiding him through tk deliberations, Bush : pray daily, I pray forguida and wisdom and strength." added that if he decides toss troops into war, “I woi for their safety and 1 w pray for the safety of innocs Iraqi lives as well.” Korea Continued from page 1 Northern actions in the past two weeks include: — The dispatch of a MiG-19 warplane across the South’s western sea border. The plane quickly retreated after South Korean jets flew to the area. — The test-firing of an anti-ship missile on the eve of the inauguration of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun. — The reactivation of a 5-megawatt nuclear reactor that is part of a suspected weapons pro gram. — The interception by MiG-29 warplanes of a U.S. reconnaissance plane in international air space off North Korea’s east coast. North Korea’s next step might be to switch on the reprocessing plant at the Yongbyon nuclear complex north of Pyongyang, a possible prelude to the manufacture of several nuclear weapons by the summer. That would involve the transfer of 8,000 spent fuel rods in stainless steel canisis from a cooling pond to the plant. All the North Korean actions appear tok been carefully planned, but the possibility of isolated confrontation seems higher than it 1 been in years. “What worries me the most is the possibility; miscalculation and accidental outbreak of hoi ties on the account of escalating nuclear lit sions,” Alexandre Mansourov, a Northeast Asis security expert, said in a commentary released! the Nautilus Institute, a Berkeley, Califomi; based research group. Sigal, the analyst in New York, said the fi this week of an annual U.S.-South Korean milk exercise called “Foal Eagle” has heightened iff sion with North Korea. Communist forces areals engaging in winter training. “We’re at a point in which the propagandas the North is pretty high-pitched, which me armed forces are hyper-vigilant, hyper-attentk Sigal said. giiiSi Par Parsons Mon criminal hazing of Cadets unit re ing possible d A&M.
