A loss of funds from the recession would be aggravated by decreasing numbers of freshmen, causing lost tuition revenue, he said. Bush Continued from Page 1 csi rates and create more jobs, he said. Bu? h said his message to Congress is to complete its work, meet Friday’s deadline and pass a sensible budget. “In the next five days, Congress has a chance, an obligation to act,” Bush said. “The American people have every right to expect the United States Congress to act responsibly.” Avarit Card 1325 ‘C’ V STEAMBOAT JANUARY 2-12 ★ 5, 6 OR 7 NIGHTS - BRECKENRIDCf JANUARY 2-9 tt 5, 6 OR 7 NIGHTS * ^5^/ VAIL/BEAVER CRF-S* JANUARY 2-12 ★ ' 5, 6 OR 7 NIGHTS jhd m, M Call Today! ^m^ANNUAL / a&L ' COLLEGIATE // \ WINTER ^ \ ♦ y^ NjO^ yy,<>^ .1,^*' e»C'' -SIS^ fsjsftf^ ^-»,?# ** * *7* \l I ? «••* *«>»* do^' ,yyyoO*; soO< c' o'«"lace. »' ', p<°d | * 5 .WO*ti iV .e''' * \oc'°dY 6 °’ 1 S*' * spo^ ^*\.
