Warren Daily Texan Staff FRANKLIN, La. — H urricane A ndrew , g ru d g in g ly giving up only a small portion of the speed and fury that caused billions of dol­ lars in damage in Florida earlier this w eek, cam e ashore late Tuesday along the south central Louisiana coastline near Morgan City. A ndrew has been blam ed for only one death so far in Louisiana, bu t the C ategory 4 hurricane is responsible for taking more than 15 lives in Florida. O fficials in T errebonne and Iberia parishes, two of the areas h a rd e st hit by A ndrew , said W ednesday that they knew of no serious injuries caused by the storm. Andrew brought torrential rains to the southern half of the state and battered communities along U.S. H ighw ay 90 from H oum a to Lafayette with winds reaching 160 mph in some places. No statewide damage estimates w ere available W ednesday, and residents who either escaped or waited out Andrew's wrath were just beginning to return to their homes. Dam age was expected to be extensive. The winds ripped into roofs, top­ pled trailers and splintered hun­ dreds of trees in several southern parishes from 3 a.m. to about 7:30 a.m . W ednesday, the sto rm 's fiercest hours. Thousands of people were left without electricity or phone service W ednesday n ig h t, but roads blocked by flooding and downed trees had begun to clear. President Bush declared portions state d isaster areas the of Wednesday afternoon, and convoys of utility and tree service trucks could be seen heading into hard-hit areas Wednesday night. Some of the w orst destruction W ednesday happened in places w here people had gone seeking safety from the storm, including two motels in New Iberia, about 50 miles north of Morgan City. When high winds tore the roofs off at least four upper-level rooms at a Best Western motel near U.S. 90, personnel m oved everyone staying at the motel to a banquet room , said Sue Spinella, a desk clerk. W hen w ater sta rte d p o u rin g through that ceiling, the guests w ere m oved into the m o tel's restaurant, Spinella said. " It started leaking around the lights and then pieces of the roof started to fall in ," said Skipper Racca, a guest at the motel. "You could hear the whole room shaking and people screaming." Less than a mile away, guests at the Scottish Inn were herded into a reception and bar area when about 15 room s lost their roofs to the wind, said Vivian Armentor, who said she lived just up the road from the motel, but was staying there during the storm. "W hen the roof came off, the management came and got us out," Armentor said. Many people remained crowded in the dark bar Wednesday morn­ ing, waiting for a chance to get their belongings from their rooms, and for the rain to stop. Winds buffeting Franklin, a town of 10,000 about 20 miles south of New Iberia, were measured at 165 m ph W ednesday m orning, said Mayor Sam Jones, before the city's wind vane blew off the roof of City Please see Andrew, page A6 In New Iberia, La., Randy Broussard worked in a downpour and flood to clear debris so he could move his Bronco the morning after Andrew. S. Florida suffering continues ------ Associated Press Associated Press MIAMI — Three days after Hurricane Andrew cut its deep gash across southern Florida, an esti­ mated 180,000 people were reported homeless, some cooking outdoors on wood fires, their food rotting and water scarce. Gov. L aw ton C hiles v isited h a rd -h it Homestead and Florida City by helicopter again Wednesday. Florida City, where the 8,000 resi­ dents didn't have much to start with, was virtual­ ly leveled. "The shelters are too far away, and people don t want to leave whatever belongings they've got left," Florida City Mayor Otis Wallace said. "These people are cam ping out w ith o u t the tents." Chiles said officials were having trouble get- ting food that wasn't spoiled to people in need, and called for atyetter-organized storage and dis­ tribution effort. ; - "Right now, a truckload of food gets there, 200 people show up, 50 people get food and 150 peo­ ple are angry," Chiles said. "We've got to find a way to solve that.' About 600,000 homes and businesses remained without electricity late Wednesday, and officials warned that it could be weeks before everyone gets water and power back. Hurricane Andrew has killed at least 15 people in Florida, four in the Baham as and one in Louisiana, where the season's first hurricane — and the nation's costliest — began to dissipate by midday Wednesday. A dusk-to-daw n curfew remained in effect, and 3,000 N ational G uard troops p atro lled against looting. Metro-Dade police said 10 people were arrested for looting, along with 200 arrests for curfew violations and other infractions. Homestead police, along with the National Guard, have arrested 100 people for looting since Monday. The death toll in Florida is expected to rise as rescue workers make their way through miles of bedroom communities leveled on Monday mom- ing, when Andrew hit Florida before veering across the Gulf of Mexico and into Louisiana. After more than two days, the Coast Guard suspended a search for two men missing from a 48-foot pleasure boat.

J.J. “Jake” Pickle state Sen. G onzalo Pickle, B arrientos and Texas Land Commissioner Garry Mauro were on cam pus to announce that the Democratic candidates and their spouses H illary and Tipper will begin their Texas bus tour in San Antonio Thursday morning. The group is expected to arrive in A ustin w ith Gov. Ann R ichards shortly before 1 p.m. and meet with the Com bined Law Enforcem ent A ssociation of Texas at the LBJ Library. At 1:30 p.m., Clinton and Gore will address an expected crowd of 5,000 o u tsid e the library by the fountain. Since the rally site is an open area, Austin police officers, along with Secret Service officials will arrive early to secure the speaking loca­ tion. "There will be a flow of people and it is an open space, so security was a concern," said Joe Cerrell, Clinton-Gore campaign volunteer. "But security is going to be very tight. We expect no problems." The tick et's D em ocratic announcement of their Austin visit came late Friday, and since then, area Democratic organizations have been frantically trving to get every­ thing into place. "T hey w ould have come last week but decided to wait until after the R epublican convention in H o u sto n ," M auro said. " It ju st wouldn't have been proper." The visit coincides with former President Lyndon Johnson's birth­ day. Lady Bird Johnson, U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, and Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock will also be on hand to cele­ brate.

Compromise settlement proposed for tank farms James WHkerson Daily Texan Staff The ow ners of an East A ustin gasoline tank farm Wednesday pro­ posed a compromise plan to relo­ cate the facility, w hich includes closing the facilities of one of the six companies and donating an office building to aid medical relief efforts in the area. County Attorney Ken Oden said he was pleased with the offer. H ow ever, O den said only the relocation of the facilities would halt his agency's investigation into whether fumes and ground-water contamination from the tank farm are responsible for the reported ill­ nesses of residents near the facility. These other compromise m ea­ sures are welcomed, but they are not a substitute for relocation," said Oden in a news release. "I have informed the companies that these measures will not result in an end to the investigation and enforcement effort except for those companies which have expressed their intentions to relocate," he said. The tank farm is located near the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Springdale Road. The facility is operated by C hevron USA, Inc., Citgo P etroleum C orp., C oastal States C rude G athering Co., the Exxon Corp., Mobil Oil Corp. and Star Enterprises (Texaco). The compromise plan endorsed by the companies that own the tank farm includes the following provi­ sions: ■ The closing of the C hevron USA, Inc. terminal, creating a 300- foot " b u ffe r zone" betw een Alf Avenue and the facilities; ■ The donation of C h ev ro n 's office building and "financial con­ tributions'' to help develop a diag­ nostic and treatment plan; ■ A promise by the companies to atte m p t to persu ad e the Travis Central Appraisal District to reverse the devaluation of residential prop­ erty surrounding the tank farm; ■ New environmental controls to reduce potential emissions by 66 percent; ■ C om pliance w ith a g ro u n d ­ d eco n tam in atio n ’ p lan the Texas W ater w ater o rd ere d by Commission.

U.S. and allied forces will "respond decisively" if the zone is violated, he said. Iraq said it would not abide by the order. It proposed setting up a "wisemen committee" to investigate condi­ tions in Iraq's south for Shiite Muslims, whom Western governments contend have been brutally repressed by Saddam. Iraqi Ambassador Abdul al-Amir al-Anbari said he delivered that m essage to the French, A m erican, Russian and British United Nations ambassadors when they summoned him Thursday to inform him of the allied plan to protect Iraqi Shiites. Later, U.S. officials said the Iraqi message was lacking any promise to halt threats and expulsions of UNÍ. relief workers and their guards in Iraq. The officials, who spoke on condition they not be identified, said humani­ tarian workers over the past several months had been harassed with tire slashings and other acts. The number of relief workers there has been dwindling. In fact, Iraqi Deputy Premier Tariq Aziz warned U.N. L ndersecretary-General Jan Eliasson that if the "no-fly zone" is implemented, the presence of the 120 U.N. guards in Iraq "would no longer be tolerated." The ban, which Bush said was authorized under a 1991 Umted Nations resolution that demanded an end to repression of civilians, takes effect Thursday simulta­ neously with the start of aerial surveillance of southern Iraq. There was no immediate comment from the Iraqi government in Baghdad. Rejecting suggestions that the move could be seen as an election-year ploy by a president behind in the polls, Bush said the allies agreed to act in response to "new President Bush gave Saddam a 24 hour ultimatum. Associated Press evidence of harsh repression" of Shiite Muslims by Saddam. "What emerges from eyewitness accounts ... is further graphic proof of SaddanYs brutality," Bush told a White House news conference. He said Iraqi helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft had been bombing and strafing civil­ ians in the south.

August 27. 1992 Page A3 Associated Press LONDON — World leaders condemned Serbia on Wednesday for the war in Bosnia-Herzego- vina and warned at an international peace confer­ ence that the aggressors face economic isolation and prosecution for war crimes. Serb militiamen, meanwhile, pounded Sarajevo with rockets and mortars, hitting the besieged city with its heaviest bombardment in weeks. Despite the harsh words that dominated the opening day of the London conference, a senior U.S. State D epartm ent official said he saw progress. One positive sign, he said, was the stated will­ ingness of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic to allow U.N. observers along the border between Serbia and Bosnia. Serbs are reported to have run arms across the frontier. The leader of Bosnian Serbs defiantly declared that the former Yugoslav republic "doesn't exist anymore." But Radovan Karadzic, who briefly walked out of the talks, offered to give up some Serb-held territory to win a peace settlement. Acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eaglebur- ger warned of a "spectacularly bleak future" for Serbs if they did not end their sieges of Sarajevo and other cities held by Bosnia's Muslim-led gov­ ernment. Dob rica Cosic, the federal Yugoslav president, promised to press the Bosnian Serbs to give up some of the land they hold but charged that the international media have "satanized" the Serbs in order to make them the "scapegoats of the pro­ jected new world order." Opening the largest international conference so far on the Balkan crisis, British Prime Minister John Major called for guarantees for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Bosnia, a halt to human rights abuses and respect for existing borders. Serbs in the hills encircling Sarajevo pummeled the city with hundreds of rockets and mortar shells and raked the streets and buildings with heavy m achine-gun fire in the second day of intense fighting. The city's main library was set ablaze along with the medieval Turkish baths in the Muslim quarter and a street of 17th century rowhouses. Troops loyal to Bosnia's Muslim-dominated gov­ ernm ent were reported fighting Serbs to the north, south and west of the capital and around a bridge within the city. Bosnia's M inistry of Health said 30 people were killed and 263 wounded across the republic in the previous 24 hours.

The talks in Brno, capital of the Moravia region of the Czech republic, 110 miles east of Prague, were the sixth in the series held by the leaders. Klaus and M eciar said th at during September they will submit to parliament two constitutional laws, one dissolving the federation and the other dividing its powers and goods. Under the timetable set Wednesday, the two sides will work out a package of treaties in October, leaving November and Decem­ ber to iron out any remaining problems. Klaus and Meciar said it was necessary to finalize the partition by the end of the year in order to be able to prepare separate bud­ gets for 1993. The republics will start out with the same currency, the crown, but will issue separate currencies some time next year, Klaus said, adding the new currencies would have a fixed rate of exchange. The split must be approved by three-fifths of the 300-member federal parliam ent in ! Prague.

Panel favors Collor’s ouster Associated Press ; BRASILIA, Brazil — Legislators on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a report that accuses President Fer­ nando Collor de Mello of massive cor­ ru p tio n and recom m ends im peach­ ment. ! The congressional panel that drew ¡up the report approved it by a 16-5 vote, with the surprise support of gov­ e rn m e n t su p p o rte rs w ho sw itched ¡sides at the last minute. I Based on the re p o rt's findings, a ¡request for impeachment will be pre­ sented to the Chamber of Deputies on ¡Sept. 2. Law m akers w ill vote on w h e th e r to open hearin g s against Collor, Brazil's first directlv elected president after 21 years of military rule. The report, released Monday, accus­ es Collor of receiving $6.5 million in "im p ro p e r benefits" from his 1989 cam paign treasu rer, Paulo C esar Farias. Collor has pledged to fight impeachment, but his support has been eroded by the report. Investigators say Farias extorted mil­ lions of dollars from businessmen in retu rn for governm ent contracts or favors. Farias faces charges of graft, tax evasion and influence trafficking. Thousands of protesters dressed in black gathered Wednesday on the lawn outside the w hite m arble Congress building in Brasilia, the capital. State police ringed the Congress w hile policem en on horseback p a ­ trolled the streets. The areas within a 1,000-yard radius of the president's mansion were declared a national secu­ rity zone to keep protesters away. On Tuesday, more than a m illion dem onstrators took to the streets in pro-impeachment protests across the country, and more were scheduled for Wednesday. Collor has denied wrongdoing and said he w on't resign before his five- year term ends in 1995. He has tried to buy support by funding pork-barrel projects for congressional allies. On W ednesday, Collor signed into effect a 20 percent pay raise for federal employees and the military. However, the opening rem arks of panel m em bers, televised on three channels nationwide, showed just how badly his support has eroded. Israel snubs Palestinian legislature offer ■Associated Press ! W ASHINGTON — Isra e l's chief ¡negotiator to the Mideast peace talks on Wednesday rejected Palestinian pro­ posals to elect their own legislature, saying such a body would lead to cre­ ation of a Palestinian state. ¡ Instead, Elyakim Rubinstein urged ¡the Palestinians to accept Israeli plans •to hold elections for an administrative ¡council that would oversee day-to-day ¡affairs in the occupied territories. "What we offer is a sea change from what exists now " for the 1.7 million Palestinians in the territories, Rubin­ stein said at a news conference. "What is not offered," he said, "is a legislative council and legislative pow­ ers which are tantamount to those of a sovereign state." Palestinian spokesw om an H anan Ashrawi on Tuesday said her delega­ tion hoped to convince Israel of the importance of legislative elections. "We want to practice our own democratic rights," she said. The Israeli proposal calls for election of an administrative council that would be able to deal with, but not legislate, regulations and laws. Israeli and Palestinian delegates, in the sixth round of peace talks that opened at the State Departm ent this week, are discussing an interim gov­ ernm ent in the West Bank and Gaza that would give Palestinians greater autonomy over their daily affairs After a two-hour session W ednes­ day, chief P alestin ian n egotiator Haidar Abdul Shafi said "there was no forward movement" in Israel's propos­ als for self-rule. But they w ere not being rejected, he added. A dm inistration seeks repeal of Northwest logging injunction WASHINGTON — The Bush administration, eager to resume Northwest logging, asked a U.S. appeals court Wednesday to lift a judge's ban on timber harvests in national forests with northern spotted owls. Acting Assistant Agriculture Secretary John Beuter said the logging injunction granted last month by U.S. District Judge William Dwyer of Seattle is wholly unnecessary to save the threat­ ened owl from extinction. The Agriculture Department filed the request with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, where last year it lost a similar dispute over protection Dwyer had ordered for the bird. Attorneys for the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund said thev thought the ban would be upheld because the threaten ed b ird 's p o p ulation is declining rapidly. Man shoots self after freeing hostages RAPID CITY, S.D. — An 18-year-old armed with a shotgun, handgun and rifles took 19 peo­ ple hostage at a hotel Wednesday, then slowly released them over nearly five hours before shooting himself in the stomach, police said. Police Chief Tom Hennies said authorities were talking with Jeremiah Kayton of Box Elder when he shot himself in the stomach just before 9:30 a.m. He u n d erw en t su rg ery at Rapid City Regional Hospital, w here spokesw om an lone Petersen said he was in serious condition. None of the hostages was hurt. Pennington County Sheriff Don Holloway said authorities weren't sure if Kayton shot himself deliberately or by accident. Neo-Nazis, police clash in Germany ROSTOCK, G erm any — G erm an police stepped up patrols outside refugee shelters across the country Wednesday, and rock-throwing neo- Nazis clashed with officers for a fifth consecutive night in Rostock. Chanting "Germany for Germans, foreigners out," dozens of teen-age youths, some of them drunk, taunted police ringing a refugee center in the northern city. The demonstrators overturned a car and threw rocks at not police, who charged fonvard to make arrests. Many citizens of the economically depressed Baltic port in eastern Germany cheered when hundreds of neo-Nazis and other radical rightists first attacked a home for refugees Saturday. The inhabitants — mainly gypsies from Romania — have since been moved. About 1,500 demonstrators in Berlin, 1,000 in Munich and 500 in Frankfurt marched peacefully Wednesday to protest the violence, police said. Speakers, including members of the leftist Greens party, blamed the government for failing to pro­ tect the refugees. Durable goods orders fall sharply W ASHINGTON — O rders to factories for d u rab le goods such as cars and com puters slumped badlv in July for the second time in three months, the government said Wednesday, deep­ ening pre-election gloom about the economy. The unexpectedly sharp 3.4 percent decline, bringing orders to a seasonally adjusted $119 bil­ lion, was the worst so far this year, the Commerce Department said. "This report says the economy simply is going n o w h ere," said A llen Sinai of Boston Co. Economic Advisers Inc. "Our economy is not in recovery'. It's not in full-fledged recession.

In 1994 the TAAS test, which is administered to high school sophomores and juniors and is a requirement for graduation, will include a sec­ tion on health and physical fitness. Currently, this administrative masterpiece tests students in three b asic acad em ic areas in w hich American students are sorely inadequate: read­ ing, writing and mathematics. Its requirements are so minimal as to be insulting to any sixth- grader with a decent education, yet they are the standard by which the state determines a Expanding the scope of this already ridicu­ lous mar on the public education system will inevitably result in a lowering of standards in the newly included areas just as the current limited TAAS has caused a watering down of standards in the three included areas. While it is important for students to be phys­ ically fit, a chin-up requirement for graduation is devoid of merit. The TAAS requirements have not significantly improved the quality of education. There is no evidence to suggest that additional requirem ents in other areas will improve education in those fields. All evidence suggests that exactly the oppo­ site is true. By settin g such low m inim al requirem ents, the education establishm ent ensures equally low results. It is astounding that the Texas Education Agency is actually considering paring away valuable education time from such crucial subjects such as reading and math to squander it on physical education. Furthermore, it is still not yet clear what sort of physical education requirem ent w ill be added. According to Keith Cruise, senior direc­ tor of the Division of Instructional Outcomes Assessment at TEA, the agency is considering an alternative “health and wellness" section, which would comprise a written section rather than an actual physical-ability requirement. Only the TEA would have the boundless gall to offer Scantron bubble-filling as an athletic requirement and pawn it off to Texans as a viable option for improving education. If the current academic requirements of the TAAS are any indicator, the athletic require­ This proposal would not be quite so asinine if it did not come at a time of such great educa­ tional crisis. For TEA to suggest expanding the scope of such an out-of-touch governmental agency at a time when public education is col­ lapsing is unconscionable. Our state governm ent has made a grave error in wresting-control of local school dis­ tricts from parents and teachers and placing it in the hands of uninformed bureaucrats. The fact that scores of Texas students actually fail the TAAS annually is poignant evidence of TEA 's in a b ility to o versee ed u catio n and should suggest to taxpayers that they should eliminate TEA's involvement with education rather than expand it. Polls overrated for elections Media put too much stock Patrick Barta TEXAN COLUMNIST publicized efforts to ignore them. in polls. The same opin­ ion surveys that crowd p ages of ev ery n ew sp ap er and new s m agazine are often irrele­ vant, inaccurate and even mislead­ ing. Worse, the Am erican public has allowed them to replace seri­ ous policy discussion as the prime determinant of public opinion in this year's presidential election. How can we forget the scores of false predictions that illusory polls have fueled in the past? In early 1988, Dukakis' 17-point lead over Bush led som e m em bers of the media to predict an upset of the then vice president. In November, Bush won by a landslide. In 1991, Bush's high approval ratings convinced experts that he was invincible. Just nine months later, those same experts are asking ju st how Bush plans to recover from the cu rren t 14-p oin t g u lf betw een h im se lf and C lin ton . N ow here can we find the d is­ claimer on these polls: "Subject to change without notice." Everett Carll Ladd, the director of the R oper C en ter for P u b lic Opinion Research, admitted in the June 29 edition ofTim e that presi­ dential opinion polls are particular­ ly suspect this year because of the public's anti-incumbent mood. "In this atmosphere," he noted, "polls often become a source of misinfor- m ation rath er than in sigh t into what's happening." H ow p o lls can m isin form is clear. In any poll, the wording of particular questions or the omis­ sion of other questions or relevant inform ation can lead to sharply varying results. For exam ple, a Tim es M irror Center for the People & the Press survey performed during the Perot cam paign showed that m uch of P e ro t's p erceiv ed su p p ort was inflated by misleading polls. In one experim ent, Times M irror found that Perot dropped from first to second place in a three-way contest when a preliminary question com­ paring just Bush and Clinton was omitted. As Time added, "W h en opinion is in as mercurial a phase as it is now , sm all ch ang es in polling methods affect results." In another experim ent, Tim es M irror m atched up O p eration D esert Storm hero N orm an Schwarzkopf against George Bush and Bill Clinton. Stormin' Norman performed nearly as well as Perot. Times Mirror concluded the mis­ leadingly high ratings for Perot were not necessarily a measure of the support for Perot, but rather an indication of voter anger. Furthermore, privately financed opinion polls can be used to cloud voter sentim ents when they are selectively released to the public. Author David Moore in his new book, The Super Pollsters: How They M easu re and M an ipu late P u blic O pinion in A m erica , w rites th at presidential campaigns are often selective in the poll results they choose to release. Though sch o lars h ave d o cu ­ mented the ways in which polls of an indecisive public can be disin­ genuous, we still allow them to shape our voting patterns. In 1988, M ichael Dukakis' campaign was crippled when polls were released showing him trailing George Bush ju st b efo re a cru cial tele v ised debate. The results cast a shadow on his televised appearance and helped convince many voters that he was a loser even before they heard his stands on the issues. This year, Ross Perot lived and died by the polls despite his well- In M ay and Ju n e, P erot w as transformed from a wild card into a serious contender simply because his performance in the polls lent him credibility. As pollster Peter Hart put it, "M ore than any other person I can think of in American politics, Perot has been aided and abetted by the polls." In the end, h ow ev er, P e ro t's downward spiral in the polls creat­ ed the perception that Perot was losin g co n tro l. But his dem ise might have been temporary — had he stuck with his hailed economic plan, he might have turned the tide once again. A presidential poll is nothing more than a snapshot in time. Now, befuddled media starved for a real election story have taken to reporting poll results rather than cov erin g the issu es. The m ost recen t N ew sw eek d evotes fou r pages to President Bush's failure to garner an expected post-conven­ tion boost in his ratings. For Newsweek and the rest of the media, coverage of what actually w ent on at the con v en tion was replaced by coverage of Bush's per­ formance in the polls. Consider for a moment what the election might be like if there were no polls taken prior to election day. Freed of all preconceived percep­ tions of a candidate's standing in the polls, voters would undoubted­ ly be m ore open-m inded in the selection of a candidate. Also, without the self-generated m andate th eir 750-v ote sam ple provides, m agazines, like N ew s­ week, could not sham efully label the Republican National Conven­ tion a "four-day festival of fear and antagonism." In any event, 750 people and a margin of error should not deter­ mine who takes the White House. Barta is a Plan II junior. Hurry now!

So communi­ cate w ith your roo m m ates and coordinate your payments. house, apartment or dorm yet? Is your room just like you pictured it, or did the leasing agent show you a model that has as m uch sim ilarity to what you 've rented as the Taj Mahal has to a dumpster? If you relied on misrepresenta­ tions of a leasing agent to make your rental decision and you can't put up with your new home, come to our office and find out if you can get out of your contract. And even if you w eren 't su r­ prised when you walked into your new abode, there are a few precau­ tions you should take to make your life as a tenant as comfortable and tro u b le-free as p o ssib le for the school year. First, make sure you have a copy of your lease and know w hat it req u ires of you. Secon d , if you haven't already filled out a move-in check list that identifies any and all conditions of your apartment that are in need of repair or cleaning, prepare one as soon as possible. Be as thorough as you can. If you need a form to follow, you can come to our office to pick one up. Make sure the list is dated and wit­ nessed by a friend, if possible, and give it to your manager. As with any other communica­ tion w ith your m anager, keep a copy of your list. Keep a copy of everything. You may need it after you move out if your landlord tries to u n ju stly keep your secu rity deposit. Third, try to pay your rent on time and pay the full am ount. If your contract says that rent is due on the first of the month, it must be in the hands of the owner or man­ ager by the first. Regardless of any reason, your failure to pay the full amount of the rent on time will not keep you from having to pay any late charges stip­ ulated by your lease or from possi­ bly being evicted. In T exas, you are not even allowed to withhold a part of your rent if your landlord has breached the lease. Also, if your roommates are paying their part of the rent separately, see that their share is also paid on time. If your roommate pays his por­ tion of the rent late, you may suffer the same consequences as if you Finally, no matter how friendly or nice your landlord may seem, remember he or she is in the rental business and is out to make a prof­ it. Any extra money that is spent on you or your new residence is going to have to come out of his or her pocket. T h erefo re, rem em ber to treat your lease as a business transaction. Do not assume that "th in g s" will be taken care of just because it's the right thing to do or because your landlord is such a nice person. If you do have any problem s with your landlord, come to the O ffice of the Stu d en ts' Attorney and let us see if we can help. Mitchell Solomon is the students' attorney at the University. The Office of Students' Attorney provides advice, rep resentation and referrals to UT students and is funded the Stu d en t Services Fee. throu gh It offers a wide variety of legal services to UT students w ithout charge.

Clinton needs your body The party conventions are over and the 1992 presidential campaign is in full swing. This election will set the course for the next four years and beyond for our country. It will determine whether or not we continue w ith the failed 12-y ear ex p erim en t of "trickle-down economics." It will determ ine w hether we have a president who is committed to restoring Am erica's economy and its com petitive­ ness in world markets. It will determine whether we have a president who is com­ mitted to education and who has a plan to ensure a college education to anyone who wants it. It will d eterm ine w hether we have a president committed to the environment, health care and choice. It will also deter­ mine whether we have a president who will not just talk about family values but will do something about them. That presi­ dent will be Gov. Bill Clinton. Students cannot afford to sit out this election and be uninvolved. It is our future that is at risk. Gov. Clinton and Sen. A1 Gore along with Gov. Ann Richards, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen and former first lady Lady Bird Johnson will attend a rally at 1:30 p.m. Th u rsd ay at the LBJ Lib rary fou ntain. Students are invited to come by and listen to Gov. Clinton and Sen.

Chris Trent Vice president University Democrats Educators must back choice Amidst America's great rejoicing over the downfall of communism, I always find it odd that we avoid examining the institu­ tions within our own society that function much as the legendary bureaucracies that are now crum bling throughout the old Soviet Union. Although one may use countless excus­ es for why academic standards for today's students are declining or remaining steady at best, I believe we must put a great deal of blam e on an ed u ca tio n system that th riv es on a lack of co m p etitio n and accountability. One com ponent of President Bush's "America 2000" program included the use of a voucher system. The vouchers would enable low or middle-income families to send their children to public, private or religious schools. This approach of offering a choice of schools has received a barrage of criticism from public-education advo­ cates as being everything from inadequate in scope to unfair to minorities. There is no q u e stio n that P resid en t Bush's proposal to create 535 new show­ case schools in addition to offering stu­ dents a choice of schools is not a quick-fix Solution. What a voucher system can do is begin to lay the foundations of an educational renaissance in America by making schools compete for students. The mere thought of comparing the way private companies operate in the market­ place with something as sacred as the edu­ cation of our youth makes the bureaucrats in our education system cringe, in much the same way their counterparts in Russia have when they fear losing their jobs. When one looks back at the grass-roots effort to reform schools in the 1980's, we saw m any d ifferen t ap p ro ach es taken throughout our nation's schools. While there were many new and inter­ esting ideas, somehow it didn't seem that the reforms that did work were implement­ ed in a w idespread fashion. A lthou gh sch ool board s receiv ed large funding increases, it has not at all appeared that the American students' performance is mea­ surably improving. As we learned from the experiences of our ex-com m u nist co u n terp arts, large bureaucracies tend to have enormous influ­ ence even after they h ave been partly reformed. This is the case with many local governments in the former Soviet Union. If schools compete with each other for students, one hopes that eventually the cchools that use the most effective teaching techniques will gain more students as their reputation spreads. G radu ally the system w ill be tran s­ formed as schools will be forced to inno­ vate and show results or face declining enrollment and possible closure.

Despite security help expected from the guard, Jones said response from other state and federal agencies has been slow. "They're just neglecting us because we have a smaller population. I don't like it," he said. Broken glass and downed trees seemed to be the extent of the dam age on F ran k lin 's M ain Street, said Michael Dom inique, director of the city's Office of Development. Dominique said he thought Franklin could rebuild. Franklin Police Lt. Richard Revere was not so optimistic about the wreckage. "You got debris all over the place. A lot of peo­ ple had their properties damaged. I don't know' whether it can ever be repaired," Revere said. Resident Skip Habell came out with others to help clear roads for returning home owners. "N obody got hurt. That's the main thing," he said. "W e're lucky [property damage] was all it was." Most people in the potential path of Andrew had obeyed strong evacuation w arnings issued by state officials.

After meeting w ith Dade County officials, U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Florida, said 63,000 homes were destroyed. "If there are three people per home, you are talking about 180,000 homeless," he said. Damage to the region was estimated at $15 bil­ lion to $20 billion, Kate Hale, Dade County emer­ gency m anagement director, said. If that stands, Andrew would be the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Chiles announced that next Tuesday's state pri­ mary election would be held, despite calls by sev­ eral candidates to postpone it.

Officials feared that food rotting in Florida's A ugust heat, polluted water and sewage backups could lead to outbreaks of salmonella and hepati­ tis. The tem p eratu re in M iami hit 91 degrees Wednesday afternoon. "The possibility of an epidemic is very small," said state h ea lth officer Dr. C harles M ahan. "That's what we are trying to prevent." Life after Hurricane Andrew was particularly difficult for those who have a rough time in the best of times.

August 27, 1992 PageA7 Aid sought to help car crash victims Teri Bailey Daily Texan Staff Members of the Indonesian Students’ Association and the UT International Office announced Wednesday a plan to establish a support fund to aid the families of two UT students involved in a fatal car wreck in Arizona last week. Donni Jokowiyanto, a master's degree candidate in petroleum engineering, died Wednesday as a result of a head-on collision on Interstate Highw ay 17 early Tuesday morning 10 miles north of Phoenix. Jokowivanto's roommate, chemical engi­ neering junior Imran Rosyadi, remains in critical condition in the trauma intensive care unit at St. Joseph's Hospital and Med­ ical Center after surviving the wreck that also took the lives of two other Indonesian students from Arizona State University. "W e, the friends of Donni and Imran, are trying to raise funds to alleviate some of the tremendous medical expenses incurred as well as the future cost of rehabilitation for Im ran ," said a memo released by A rief Budiwiyanto, a graduate student in busi­ ness, and W idya Dharmasamadhi, a gradu­ ate student in geology. Budiwiyanto, a close friend of the stu­ dents, said Rosyadi s current medical bills are approximately S I3,000 a day and w ill continue to grow as treatment for Rosyadi becomes more intense. Already, intensive care costs for Rosyadi are more than $100,000, Budiwiyanto said, and "the fund will be the only way to help Imran's family with the hospital costs." "Right now, Imran is still in a coma, but he's getting better," Budiwiyanto said. "A ll the money that we get w ill go to the families to help them." Budiwiyanto explained that all money collected before a formal meeting of the Indonesian Students Association Sept. 12 w ill be allocated to the fam ilies of both Jokowiyanto and Rosyadi. After the meet­ ing, any funds donated w ill go solely to help pay for Rosyadi's hospital and rehabili­ tation expenses. "W e have around $500 from the meeting of just the friends of Donni and Im ran," Budiwiyanto said. "W e need a lot more, though, to help Imran." Kitty Villa of the International Office said all donations should be sent to the Interna­ tional Office, Drawer A, Austin, TX 78713. Checks should be made payable to the Uni­ versity of Texas at Austin and marked: "Fund for Donni and Im ran." For further information, individuals should contact Villa at the International Office. Lapping it up An La/Daily Texan Staff Mark Adams, a student adyiser for the Kinesiology and Health Education Department for the past two years, jogged around the track at the deserted Memorial Stadium Wednesday afternoon. Since March, he has tried to run three miles every day. Hundreds line up for $20,000 in UT emergency loans G igi Causey Daily Texan Staff About $20,000 was snatched up by stu­ dents at the Bursar's Office Wednesday as the admissions office dispensed the first set of emergency cash loans for the semester, UT officials said. Beginning early W ednesday morning, more than 50 students at a time stood in ^lines at the office as they waited to clear any’ -last-minute bars or collect the emergency funds they obtained over the phone. But amid the long waits and complaints about TEX, several hundred students man­ aged to get their $150 emergency cash loans which had became available through the Telephone Enrollm ent Exchange system Wednesday. The University makes about 30,000 loans to students on a yearly basis. The account­ ing office, which is also responsible for dis­ tributing tuition loans, helps dispense the $11 million loaned yearly, said Stephanie Szakal, accounting section supervisor for the Office of Accounting. Although not distributing loans between school sessions contributes to the huge crowds at the start of each semester, it is a necessary procedure, Szakal said. "W e need to make sure the students get­ ting these loans are actually enrolled in the U niversity," Szakal said. "W e don't give anybody a loan unless they're enrolled." She added that the long wait in line dur­ ing this week's rush is "a small price to pay" for a loan that charges only 4 percent interest. "W hen we're not so busy, students could feasibly get the cash loans in about 10 min­ utes. Right now, of course, it takes quite a bit longer," she said. "But this is still a lot more convenient than going to a regular bank that probably doesn't offer this ser­ vice." Connie Hendon, biology senior, was among those waiting to pick up an emer­ gency loan. She said she preferred waiting in Wednesday's line to going to a regular bank. "W aiting in line is no big deal. They [per­ sonal banks] probably do more of an exten­ sive evaluation of your credit history and you have to have an account there," Hen­ don said. Students have one month from the day they receive their loans to reimburse the University, said Val Alonzo, supervisor for general collections. If the loan is not paid on time, students incur a 10 percent interest rate. If more than 10 days pass after the deadline, students w ill receive a financial bar on their records until payment is complete, he added.

Kiosks to replace tree signs Safia Swimelar Daily Texan Staff Students will notice a cleaner campus next week as 25 kiosks go up across the 40 Acres and tattered signs dis­ appear from the trees. Division of Physical Plant crews have begun setting up the sturdy, cylindrical, wooden structures with elas­ tic bands for posting fliers or notes. The cost of the kiosk project is covered by about $42,000 in donations, including $39,000 from private businesses and various academic departments, coupled with a personal donation of $3,000 from UT President William Cunningham. Each of the reddish-brown kiosks will bear a plaque crediting donors for their contributions. Traditionally, students have placed notices around cam pus by securing paper signs to trees with strings, and supporters of the kiosks say trees are being dam ­ aged, and the campus is being strewn with litter. "We will beautify the campus by freeing the trees/' said Simon Shostak, com m unications director of the Students' Association. And posting signs on the kiosks will be more effective because they are centrally located, he said. "We w ant to facilitate better communication between students," said Sean Mast, founder of Betterment of the University Environment, a group that has for more than two years worked with James Vick, UT vice president for student affairs, to bring the kiosks to campus. S everal d o ze n cam p u s g ro u p s an d d e p a rtm e n ts helped m ake the kiosks a reality, including the LBJ School of Public Affairs, the Silver Spurs service organi­ zation and the University Co-Op. Bookstores battle on Drag Steve Schelbal Daily Texan Staff Two textbook stores vying for stu­ d e n t b u sin ess are w a g in g re b ate w a rs on the D rag in an effort to boost fall semester sales. The U n iv e rs ity C o-O p h as am ended its an n u al rebate policy fo r a s e m e s te rly p ro g ra m th a t would return 10 percent of students' purchase price for books and school supplies. The Co-Op's move comes on the heels of a similar policy insti­ tu te d b y Wallace's Book Store. its n e x t-d o o r riv a l, George Mitchell, president of the Co-Op, said his store was looking at the p ro g ra m on a trial b asis this year, adding that he did not believe the results would vary m uch from the previous annual system. "W e try to be com petitive w ith everybody," he said, "and everyone tries to be competitive with us." W allace's m anager Perry Cuttino said his sto re believes in UT s tu ­ dents, and the rebate was an expres­ sion of the store's appreciation. "We didn't do it for business; we did it for the students," he said. A ccording to C uttin o , th e p ro ­ gram was created because of com­ ments he heard from students whp did not w ant to wait a full year to receive their rebates from the Co- Op. He added that the students he spoke w ith recently were "pleased and excited about receiving their certificates in October." Som e s tu d e n ts , h o w e v e r, d is ­ agreed. "I d o n 't really see any dif­ ference," said Scott Heit, engineer­ ing junior.

Donald Stewart, president of the- board, said the figures may signal an end to a worrisome decline in, recent years. One or two points may not seem like much, but each point is mean-' ingful on a test taken by more than a million students who represent roughly two-thirds of all entering college freshm en," Stew art said. "We hope we are beginning to see a trend, upward." Scores on the verbal section aver­ aged 423, one point above last- year's record low, reversing five, years of decline. Since 1969, these scores, reflecting com prehension and word meanings, have dropped. 40 points. In math, the average was 476, two points above last year's mark and 10 points above the record low of 1981. The math average was 493 in 1969. The last year in which both verbal and math scores rose was in 1985,! when the verbal score went up from 426 to 431 and the math rose from 471 to 475. Last year, wom en's scores rose one point in verbal skills, to 419, and three points in math, to 456. M en's scores rose two points in each, to 428 and 499, respectively. SAT scores help predict the col­ lege academic performance of indi­ vidual students, including foreign nationals, American students study­ ing aboard and those in private a n d ! religious schools. Both sections of the m ultiple choice exam are scored on a scale of ■ 200-800, w ith a com bined 1600,' being the highest. There is a 30-‘ point margin of error. Other highlights of the report: ■ The num ber of m inority te s t’ takers rose to 29 percent, almost- double the 15 percent in 1976, w hen! the College Board began tabulating; scores by ethnic group. ■ Since 1976, the mean scores of! black students rose 20 points on th e ; verbal sections and 31 points on the • m ath sections, w hile the m ean! scores of whites fell nine points onj verbal and two on math. ■ M exican-A m ericans' sc o re s' dropped five points in verbal skills ■ and two points in m ath. P u e r to 1 Ricans showed a five-point gain in ; verbal. In math, the scores of blacks { and Puerto Ricans remained at 1991 levels.

August 27. 1992 STATE & LOCAL Mitchell to stand trial as adult in cabbie killing Sean Savage Daily Texan Staff S ixteen-year-old Leroy M itchell stood smiling W ednesday as state District judge Jeanne Meurer sternly ruled that he will be tried as an adult on charges of robbing and m urdering a UT student. This has been a very emotional case for most people but yourself," M eurer said to Mitchell. I've never seen anyone faced with such serious charges exhibit the dem eanor that you exhibit at this moment," she added. Mitchell w as charged w ith robbing and shooting Alvin Bronson, an aerospace engi­ neering senior, who was a driver for Yellow Checker Cab Co. Bronson, 25, was found dead in his cab behind Pflugerville High School July 4. If convicted of capital m urder, Mitchell will face a m inim um of 35 years in prison before he will become eligible for parole, said Pam Sigman, an attorney in the Public Defender's office. Mitchell's maximum sen­ tence w ill be life in prison if he is found guilty, she added. A person under 18 cannot face the death penalty, under a U.S. Supreme Court deci­ sion. Bronson had last responded to a call from the Ramada Inn at 1212 W. Ben White Blvd. on the night of July 3, police said. Two witnesses testified Monday that they h ad left a p a rty at the R am ada Inn th at night m a cab with Mitchell. They claimed to have seen Mitchell shoot Bronson, ask him for his money and then shoot him a sec­ o n d tim e w hen B ronson reached for his radio receiver, said Assistant District Attor­ ney Stephanie Emmons. Mitchell was also charged with robbing a convenience store in the early m orning of July 4. The store clerk testified Tuesday that M itch ell h ad p o in te d a g u n at h e r and pulled the trigger, but the gun only clicked, Emmons said. A nother w itness testified that M itchell later returned to the party, drew his gun and asked him to " u n -ja m " it, Em m ons said. O thers w ho had been at the p arty said Mitchell had boasted of robbing and killing a cab driver, she said. Police search for second serial rapist Miguel M. Salinas Daily Texan Staff While Austin police sift through several possible leads to finding a man known as the Northwest rapist, another man has been stalking two N ortheast A ustin neighborhoods, investigators said Wednesday. The m an h as co m m itte d th re e sexual assaults on women living on Tum bleweed and Purple Sage d ri­ ves in N o rth e ast A ustin near LBJ H igh S chool w ith in th e la st 11 months. Within the last 48 hours the suspect has attem pted to sexually assault two women, police said. Police were called early Wednes­ day morning to a residence on Pur­ ple Sage Drive after a w om an suf­ fered a stab w o u n d to the ch e st when she resisted the assault, inves­ tigators said. The 39-year-old w om an w as in fair condition W ednesday night at Brackenridge H ospital, said Larry BeSaw, hospital spokesman. The Northeast rapist is described as a black male, 6 feet tall, 25 to 30 years old, with a light com plexion and thin b u t m uscular build, said Sgt. Mike Lummus. Police w ent door-to-door in the tw o n e ig h b o rh o o d s W e d n e sd a y asking residents if they have seen the m an p ic tu re d in a co m p o site draw ing produced from a descrip­ tion given by the latest victim, Lum­ m us said. Investigators are in the process of seeking out several suspects whom some residents have nam ed, claim­ ing that m en they know resem ble the drawing, he said. "I w ouldn't say [residents] are iñ a p an ic m ode, b u t th ey are co n ­ ce rn ed ," L um m us said. "T h ey 're very aw are of their su rro u n d in g s now."

Lawmakers scramble to save state parks Craig Enos Daily Texan Staff "D on't mess w ith Texas parks" was the mes­ sage delivered by more than a dozen irate legisla­ tors to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Commission Wednesday. The law m ak ers show ed up at the com m is­ sion's annual public hearing to try to save parks within their districts that the departm ent has tar­ geted for either closure or a reduction in services. The departm ent originally proposed July 30 to close 18 state parks because of a budget shortfall. That plan was reworked Tuesday to allow four parks to remain open, w ith others being consoli­ dated or facing reduced hours. The seven parks still sch ed u led for clo su re received a 90-day reprieve during which the departm ent will seek alternative sources of funding. The cuts represent "a continuing effort on our part to operate in a businesslike way," said Andy Sansom, the departm ent's executive director. He said the departm ent has budget problem s and needs to prioritize its resources. The departm ent will seek alternative plans for the closed parks, possibly including operation by private groups, said Tom H arvey, departm ent spokesman. The legislators who spoke at the hearing said the tourism, recreation and historical significance the parks offer make their continued operation vital to the state. State Sen. Bill Haley, D-Center, said the Legis­ lature was shocked to learn, through the media, that the departm ent w as planning to close the parks. "Tourism is a m ainstay of m ost of the state's econom y as it is," he said. " I w ould ask th at rather than 90 days, you let this go through the next legislative process." Funds to keep all the state parks open can be found som ewhere, said state Rep. Dan Kubiak, D -R ockdale. K u b iak said th e p ro p o se d c u ts am o u n t to less th a n h alf of 1 p e rc e n t of th e departm ent's budget. "If this committee can't find $700,000 out of a $132 million budget to keep those parks open, there's something wrong w ith all of us," Kubiak said. Rep. Tim Von D ohlen, D -G oliad, told th e departm ent it should stop acquiring land and instead concentrate on im proving existing parks and historical sites. The commission will vote Thursday on its 1993 budget, which includes the revised parks propos­ al. Alicia Wagner/Daily Texan Staff Bombs away!

Assistant District Attorney Cecil Emerson said he expected Walker Railey, 45, back in Dallas in a cou­ ple of days. Judge Pat McDowell set a bond of $25,000, a sp okes­ w om an in the ju d g e's office said Wednesday. Railey w as arrested Tuesday at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, w here he had been church adm inistrator for about a year, after he w as indicted by a grand jury. A uthorities have long said Rai­ ley was the prim e suspect in the 1987 attack. Assistant District Attorney Cecil Emerson said the decision to seek the in d ic tm e n t cam e afte r a re- ev a lu a tio n of evidence w ith the help of the FBI. " T h e r e 's no n ew e v id e n c e ," Emerson said. "And quite frankly, I'm not so sure there ever will be any new dram atic evidence that will prevail other than w h at we have." Railey's attorney, Doug Mulder, accused police of converting the case into "a circus." "All they had to do was call me, an d I w o u ld h av e s u rre n d e re d him. He came in to testify before a grand jury. He's not running from “All they had to do was call me, and I would have surrendered him. He came in to testify before a grand jury. He’s not running from any­ body.” — D oug Mulder, R ailey’s attorney anybody," Mulder said. At the tim e of the 1987 attack, Railey w as senior p asto r at First U nited M ethodist C hurch an d a pro m in en t figure in Dallas civic circles. He left the ministry and Dallas a short time later. Peggy Railey, 43, survived the a tta c k b u t n ev e r cam e o u t of a coma-like vegetative state. Walker told authorities in April 1987 he returned to his house and found his wife on the garage floor. He came under suspicion after attem pting suicide not long after the attack. It was learned that he w as rom antically involved w ith another woman. In Ju ly 1987, he re fu s e d to answ er 43 qu estion s by a g ra n d jury, citing constitutional guaran­ tees against incriminating oneself. Railey's parents in 1988 filed a civil law suit accusing Railey of a m alicious attem pt to strangle his wife. Railey never responded, and the judge ordered him to pay an $18 million judgment.

Investigators are searching for witnesses to the early morning fire w h ich occu rred at the Thom as Homes of Texas, 6407 E. Ben White Blvd., said Lt. C.B. Neitsch. Because the empty mobile homes were not connected to any utilities, there was no source for an acciden­ tal fire, Neitsch said. One mobile home was considered a total loss, while two others sus­ tained exterior fire and minor fire control damage, he said. ow ner of the m obile hom e sales com pany, there was an estimated $85,000 in damage. "This is the first time this has hap­ pened in 34 years," Thomas said. No plans have b een made to in crease secu rity on the lot, but Thomas said "that may change by tomorrow."

They took $10 from the first man, forced Vaughns back in the car and headed toward Dallas, he said. "Som ew here along the way, the DPS gave pursuit based on the bulletin that we put out about the wanted vehicles," Leggio said.

It's the first theatrical ani­ m ated film w ith A frican-A m erican characters in all the principal roles. It's a tribute to rising com edic star R obin H arris, w ho died tw o y ears ago at age 36. And it's a funny, visu­ ally appealing film chock full of atti­ tude which delightfully counters its social conscience. Yet, for reasons that may have had som ething to do with A u stin 's racial m akeup, Bebe s Kids alm ost w asn't released here. Film critic M ich ael M acC am b rid g e o f the A ustin A m e r ic a n -S ta te s m a n w a s in fo rm e d b y P a ra m o u n t Pictures almost two w eeks before the film 's scheduled release on Aug. 1 that B ebe’s K ids w ould be brou ght only to larger urban m arkets, and that it w ouldn't be released in Austin at all. But the film did hit Austin the­ aters three weeks late on Aug. 21, after it had made 57 million nationwide. th e c r ite r io n Though Paramount maintains the size of the market w as r e le a s e , M acCam bridge believes the late appearance of Bebe's k i d s in A ustin had to do with the city 's ethnicity, as well. th e m o v ie 's fo r That Austin has a sm all p ercentage of m inorities probably influenced the fact that it didn't make the first cut, he says. "A ustin is the 52nd-largest [moviegoing] market in the country. It's safe to say markets below it did get the film ... . It d id n 't only open in the top 50 m arkets." Though it m ay be sound econom ic policy, allowing ethnic factors to affect the movie's marketing seems an injustice to Harris, whose humor by all accounts w asn't limited by color barriers. An energetic com ic with a barbed tongue, Harris was gaining popularity with consistent touring. His album, Bebe's Kids — derived from part of his stand-up routine ENCHANTED APRIL Four women, each suffering the pangs of exis­ tential angst, gravitate tow ards a castle in Italy for respite from the mundaneness of their urban lives. Add some wisteria and sunshine, som e cool shimmering waters and pretty m usic, and hey, all problem s vanish into the crisp air. The w om en walk away from this Edenesque garden, m en in tow, like G od's chosen children, smiling beatifi- cally, th eir souls flooded w ith the Italian su n ­ shine. It's satori time. Enchanted April is ostensibly a women-centered film: Lottie (Josie Lawrence) and Rose (Miranda R ic h a r d s o n ) are m id d le -c la s s d o o rm a t-ty p e housew ives from Ham pstead, suffering loveless m arriages, h ousew ork drudgery and ord in ari­ ness of the h ighest degree (the d reary London ra in is n o t v e ry s o u l-e le v a tin g e ith e r); L ad y C aroline (Polly W alker) is w ealthy, glam orous and weary of male "grabbers"; Mrs. Fisher (Joan Plowright) is a grand dame, lonely and crotchety, with several em inent friends who suffer only one disadvantage — they are all dead. Each of these women, strangers to one another, respond to an advertisement and end up sharing a castle in sunny San Salvatore for a month. It is a motley group, and their encounters are alternate­ ly belligerent and funny. The denouement, how ­ ever, is hopelessly shallow and naivjp: Rose and Lottie succeed in bringing their husbands back to hom e and hearth and "fam ily values," by turning th em fro m s m a ll-m in d e d , u n c tu o u s s o c ia l climbers to tender lovers and generous husbands. C aro lin a fin d s tru e lo ve, and F ish er is tra n s­ formed into a benign old dame (which is a pity, fo r her a c e rb ic co m m e n ts in sp ire som e m ild chuckles earlier in the film). God's in His heaven and all's well with the world. It would be unfair, how ever, to fault director M ike N ew ell (D ance with a Stranger). The film, ad ap ted from a 1921 n o v el by E lizab eth V on Am eim , adheres to that time period and natural­ ly, compared with w omen-centered films today, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With M e David Lynch and com pany's long-awaited pre­ quel to the landmark TV series doesn't advance the story an y fu rth e r, b u t ra th e r fo cu se s on events leading up to high school queen Laura Palm er's murder. Lynch's infamous flair for the bizarre, plus a cast which includes most of the regulars and some new faces, prom ise to make for a satisfying, if esoteric, film. But the problem, Diane, is that we're going in the wrong direction. We should be trying to tie up those millions of loose ends from the series, not goin g back in time, for P ete's Sake!

His tw o m ost m em orable roles w ere that o f Sw eet Dick Willie, a big talking street-com er crony in Do the Right Thing, and his critically acclaimed turn as K id's father in House Party. It all ended tragically in March, 1990, when Harris died of a heart attack. The rising star burned out suddenly, and far too soon. The film version of Bebe's Kids seems a suitable nod to H arris' talent. The animation is fairly impressive, with simple, stylized characters that look slightly manic, like Harris himself. Moody coloring and wildly exaggerated backgrounds lend the layouts a W arn er’ Bros, feel, so that the end result is kind of like Ren & Stimpy meet the Road Runner. But the screenplay itself is the real tribute to Harris. W riter Reginald Hudlin remained true to Harris' origi­ nal story, following Robin's trials as he m eets Jam ika, the woman of his dreams, who insists he take her and her son to a dangerously surreal amusement park called Funworld. Harris agrees, but doesn't count on being joined by the three h ellish o ffsp rin g of Ja m ik a 's friend , Bebe. E v en tu ally , H arris, w hose v oice is p ro vid ed by the comic Faizon Love, manages to handle the kids as they run riot through the park, score points w ith Jam ika, drive away his jealous ex-wife, and deliver most of the m ovie's hilarious one-liners, all in under an hour and a half.

This is the first of m any u n n e ce ssa ry scen es th at try to p o rtra y Columbus as the hero obsessed with disproving the then-prevalent earth-is-flat theory. But character developm ent stands out as the film's biggest flaw. O n e b r ig h t s p o t: M a rlo n B ra n d o as Torquemada. The corpulent living legend is now in the stage of his life where he can play the part of the aged inquisitor and look it. Second bright spot: John Bloom field's costuming. But they can't save the film 's inane casting. Tom Selleck is hard­ ly believable as King Ferdinand. Apparently, the tran sitio n from chang ing d iapers to ru lin g an em pire is a bit above his range. If you are sincerely interested in the true dis­ covery, a trip to the library is more educational, more entertaining and less expensive. ★ V i (out of five) — Amanda Blosser F ra z ie r M o o re Associated Press Four out of four women agree: An Enchanted April in Italy beats dreary old damp England. is both old-fashioned and uncritical.

Hey, that'5 gotta, count for something. The simple, stylized characters look slightly manic, like Harris himself. Moody coloring and wildly exaggerat­ ed backgrounds lend the layouts a Warner Bros, feel, so that the end result is kind of like Ren & Stimpy meet the Road Runner. But the screenplay itself is the real tribute to Harris. The film doses w ith a poignant scene in which Harris takes Bebe's kids back to their decrepit apartment and realizes that, far from being monsters, they are simply the logical results of oppressive urban poverty. Bebe s K ids d o esn 't hold back in d ealing w ith race relations from an urban black perspective. The park's gestapo-like security guards are pow er-hungry whites eager to keep Bebe's hellions at heel. The w hite kids at the park are geeky-looking runts w ho don't know how to really have fun until they run acro ss B eb e 's kids. A nd H arris o cca sio n a lly sp ou ts acidic lines like, "L e t's go visit Futureville — bet it don't have no black people in it." But the lack of a w hite male perspective should be no consideration toward keeping this movie out of Austin theaters. Judging from the positive reviews and popu­ larity this film has accumulated nationwide thus far, it has proven enjoyable to audiences of any race. Unfortunately, m onetary considerations can tend to lim it exposure to, and understanding of, different per­ spectives by mainstream audiences.

M T-SHIRTS OH, THE HUMANITY How many 3rd parties are there? Crossword Edited by Eugene T. Maleska No. 0716 1 H E D a i l y T e x a n Thursday, August 27,1992 P a g e B 1 1 Associated Press W A S H IN G T O N — W h ile George Bush and B ill C lin to n trade jabs, jeers and sound bites, a host of third party and independent presidential candidates are setting their sights on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. T h e y m ay be fringe candidates, hut th e y 've all got agendas. Som e tend to the Quixotic. Like the idea of a 30-hour work week? W an t to abol­ ish the Internal R even u e S e rv ice ? H o w about brain-mapping for polit­ ical candidates? H ere are some of the people seek­ ing certification on state presidential ballots: John Hagelin, Natural Law Party Hagelin, a professor of “ quantum physics" at M aharishi International U n iv e rs ity in Fairfield , Iow a, said the party's main objective is to bring scientific know ledg e into politics. Some of the party's more unconven­ tional planks include m apping the brains of political candidates to cre­ ate a "m ental profile" to determine if a person is in te llig en t, c re ative and em otionally balanced enough to hold public office; and the applica­ tion of Transcendental M editation in prison systems. The ticket is led by a follow er of Transcendental Medita- tion, a method of relaxing the body that became popular in the 1970s. Helen Halyard, Workers League The W orkers League is a socialist party founded in 1966 on the ideolo­ g y of Leo n Trotsky. H a ly a rd said the p arty's basic goal is to form a workers union to overthrow capital­ ism. H alyard, a resident of Detroit, ran for vice president in 1984 and for m a yo r of D e tro it in 1985 and 1989. Lyndon Larouche, Independent L a R o u c h e is s e rv in g a 15-year sentence for fraud in federal prison in Rochester, Minn. A perennial can­ didate, he has run for president four times. H e has prom oted a quaran­ tine of A ID S victims and has main­ tained that the viru s is transmitted much like any other virus and that most medical warnings about how it is spread are “ an outright lie." H e also has stated that the International M onetary Fund is “ engaged in mass m u r d e r " b y s p re a d in g A ID S through its econom ic policies and he's accused Queen Elizabeth II of England of being a drug dealer. In 1988, LaRouch e detailed a plan to colonize Mars. H ow ard P h illip s , T a x p a y e r 's Party The T a x p a y e r's P a rty p la tfo rm advocates putting $5(X) billion from the federal budget into the private sector to jump-start the econom y. Ph illips said the party is "100 per­ cent pro-life," regards homosexual a c t iv it y as a " t h r e a t to p u b lic health," and opposes federal subsi­ dies for P lan n ed Paren th o o d and "gay h e a lt h " o rg an iz a tio n s. The p arty also rejects President Bush's " N e w W o rld O r d e r" and funding for the In t e r n a tio n a l M o n e ta ry Fund. Phillips is the chairm an of a conservative interest group in Vien­ na, Va. James Warren, Socialist Workers Party The Socialist W orkers Party plat­ form supports a 30-hour work week for 40 hours' pay. W arren contends a reduced w o rk week w ill increase the nu m b er of jobs a v a ila b le and boost em ploym ent. The party pre­ dicts the country is "o n an accelerat­ ing cou rse" toward W o rld W a r III that can be p reven ted o n ly b y an international movement of workers and farmers to abolish all weapons and m ilita ry presence around the world. W arren, a steelworker from Chicago, w as the Socialist W orkers P a rty can didate in 1988. " I t 's our contention that this is the best time since W o rld W a r I for so cialists," said Warren.

Some of these remedies are pretty common. For instance, everv m edi­ cine chest in America has probably held a b o ttle of calam in e lotion. Mom said it was good for bug bites and poison ivy. It'll m ake the itch go away. Prove it, says the FDA. Calam ine is am ong 415 ingredi­ ents which the agency says are not show n to be effective. U n der the p ro p o se d ru les p u b lish ed by the FDA, calam ine, a p in k m ixture of zinc oxide and ferric oxide, could be sold as a "skin protectant" but not as an "external analgesic." In other words, it m ay protect the skin, but it doesn't make it feel any better. " W e a re th is a c tio n ta k in g because no proof has been subm it­ ted to FDA that shows the ingredi­ ents are effective for the conditions c la im e d ," FDA C o m m issio n e r D av id K essler said in a w ritte n statement. T his is th e th ird an d la rg e s t sweep of over-the-counter products that the FDA has conducted in the last couple of years as the agency roots through the nation's medicine chest to throw out stuff that doesn't live up to its claims. Many of these have been around since before 1962, when federal law started requiring m anufacturers to prove products were safe and effec- tiv e b efo re p u ttin g them on th e market. Two years ago the FDA m ade a sim ilar m ove against 223 in gred i­ ents for w hich th ere w as no ev i­ dence of effectiveness, and a year ago it banned another 111 products. W e d n e s d a y 's a c tio n co u ld tak e effect in 60 days, giving interested parties time to send their comments to the government. W aiting for relief Associated Press Dying children sat in a room reserved for those with little hope of surviving at the Irish Concern Center in Baidoa, Somalia, Monday. The aid cam­ paign has been difficult in a country where the drought sweeping southern and eastern Africa and civil war have com bined to create chaos. The United States, which has been delivering food to northern Kenya since Friday, plans to start airlifting food into Baidoa and other areas this week. Germany began its own airlift Tuesday. While aid is trickling into border areas, U.N. spokesman Panos Moumtzis said that no aid had yet arrived at the refugee camps, where as m any as 300 people are dying daily. Between 1.5 and 2 million people face starvation in the area.

R ussian P resident Boris Yeltsin also appealed to the warring sides, prom ising to look for a "civi­ lized" settlement to the crisis. The Abkhazia region, in w7estem Georgia, declared independence in Ju ly . T he g o v e rn m e n t in T b ilisi responded by sending in thousands of soldiers who captured the region­ al capital of S ukhum i in fighting that killed at least 50 people. H undreds of volunteers from the n o rth e rn C aucasus M o u n tain s in Russia bordering Georgia flooded in to th e re g io n to h e lp d e fe n d Abkhazia. R ussia has rem ained neu tral in the conflict and does n o t su p p o rt th e m ilita n ts w ho are a id in g Abkhazia. W ednesday's attack centered on G agra, a to w n 45 m iles n o rth of Sukhumi. Yeltsin and Shevardnadze are to m eet in Moscow on Sept. 3 to dis­ cuss the crisis, and officials from A b k h a z ia the n o rth e rn Caucasus region will participate in the session, according to the ITAR- Tass news agency. a n d On W ednesday, Yeltsin called on the com batants to stop the blood­ shed and begin peace negotiations, said Yeltsin's spokesm an, Vyache­ slav Kostikov. Yeltsin prom ised to do " e v e ry -' thing possible to help find a civi­ lized, g en u in ely dem ocratic w ay out of the present crisis" and urged the peoples of the northern Cauca­ sus to avoid being draw n into the conflict, Kostikov told ITAR-Tass. Yeltsin also reaffirm ed R ussia's su p p o rt for G eorgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Kostikov said. Despite Russia's official neutrali­ ty, some legislators have denounced the Georgian action. Russia's justice m in is te r, N ik o la i F y o d o ro v , on W ednesday term ed it an "ag g res­ sion." Cabinet members quit over Lebanese election Associated Press BEIRUT, L ebanon — Tw o C h ris tia n C a b in e t m em b ers resigned W ednesday to protest the g o v e r n m e n t's d e c isio n to allo w Lebanon's first parliam entary elec­ tions in 20 years to proceed. Their resignations came after the Cabinet at large voted not to inter­ rupt the elections even though pro- Iranian Shiite Muslim fundam ental­ ists m ade major gains Sunday in the first stage of the three-stage elec­ tions. The C hristians fear that holding elections before the w ithdraw al of Syria's 40,000 troops from Lebanon w ould lead to a Parliam ent favor­ ab le to S y rian P re s id e n t H afez Assad's government. Syria argues that the peace accord brokered by the Arab League to end the civil war in 1990 calls for them to remain until after the elections. The re s ig n a tio n o f F o reig n M inister Faris Bweiz an d G eorge Saadeh, the post and telecommuni­ cations m inister, created an im bal­ ance in the Cabinet, which had been divided evenly between Christians and Muslims. P arliam en tary elections to end the traditional Christian dom ination of Lebanon's governm ent were not held during the 15-year civil w ar. The vote for a new 128-seat legisla­ ture has been characterized so far by the sam e sec ta rian strife th a t ca u se d th e w a r as w e ll as b y charges of fraud. A r e tu r n to C h ristia n -M u slim fighting appeared unlikely, howev­ er, as officials on both sides stressed th at the w ar proved th a t no side could win. The war has also left all fa ctio n s u n a b le to fin an c e m o re fighting. But sectarian conflicts could ham ­ p e r efforts to restore faith in the co u n try an d lu re the in v e stm e n t and financial aid Lebanon needs for reconstruction. Health plans not a sure thing Associated Press NEW YORK — For years, labor unions have negotiated successfully to h av e em p lo y ers p a y for th e ir m em bers' health care, but as m ed­ ical costs keep rising, experts say free h e a lth p la n s are a b e n e fit unions may start losing. G eneral M otors said this w eek that salaried w orkers and retirees m ust start paying health insurance p re m iu m s . T he U n ited A u to Workers says that means that health care could be a thorny issue at next year's contract talks. Da\ id W ilson of the consulting firm Foster Higgins & Co. says the move should signal that fully paid health-care plans have gotten too expensive for workers to continue counting on them as a benefit. "GM has been a kind of all-pow­ e rfu l c o r p o ra te g ia n t th a t has a p p e a re d im m une to a lot of the “ GM ... has appeared immune to a lot of the cost problem s associat­ ed yvith benefits. It’s clear they can’t afford to do that anymore.” — Consultant David W ilson cost problems associated w ith bene­ fits," W ilson said. "It's clear they can't afford to do that anym ore ... and the union is going to have to face it." GM, w hich pro v id es in su ran ce coverage for about 1.8 million active a n d re tire d w o rk e rs a n d th e ir d e p e n d e n ts , said its h e a lth -c a re costs have jumped 12 percent annu­ ally since 1965. The nation's largest a u to m a k e r said th e co sts now am ount to $929 for every vehicle it builds. Taubensee leads Astros to 6-5 win Associated Press HOUSTON — Eddie Taubensee has b een to Triple-A T ucson this season and he d o esn 't w ant to go back. The H o u s to n c a tc h e r m ad e a stro n g case for re m ain in g in the m ajor leag u es W ed n esd ay n ig h t when he singled home the winning run w ith two out in the 10th inning, as the Astros bounced back for a 6-5 victory after a tough loss on Tues­ day. "1 told myself that if he gave me a fastball, I'd get a good cut at it," Taubensee said. "It w as a fastball and I just was glad that I got it in a hole." M ike Perez (7-3) d eliv ered the pitch that Taubensee hit just beyond the reach of shortstop Ozzie Smith into left field w ith the bases loaded, sending Luis Gonzalez hom e w ith the game-winner. "It's nice to win, especially after that tough loss last nig h t," A stros m anager Art H ow e said. "A fter a loss like last night, it's questionable how you're going to come out and p la y th e next n ig h t." But w e jum ped on [Bob] Tew ksbury early and that was the key." On Tuesday night, H ouston lost to St. Louis 5-3 in the 13th after hav­ ing two runners throw n out at the plate in extra innings. But this time, th e A stro s took a d v a n ta g e afte r loading the bases in the 10th. Gonzalez, whose two-run homer in the seventh tied it at 5, singled off sh o rtsto p O zzie S m ith 's glove to start the inning and was sacrificed to second by Jeff Bagwell. G o n z a le z w e n t to th ird on a g ro u n d o u t, and M ike Perez (7-3) intentionally walked Ken Caminiti and also walked pinch-hitter Steve Finley before Taubensee singled. "Once we got the lead it was up to us to hold it and we didn't get the job done in the bull pen," Cardinals m anager Joe Torre said. "We battled back, but so did they. You've got to give them credit." The Astros have won four of their last five games. Xavier H ernandez (8-1) pitched the final two innings for the victory. T racy W o o d so n h it a tw o -ru n double and scored on a wild pitch as the Cardinals rallied in the sixth for a 5-3 lead. Gerald Young doubled w ith two outs in the seventh and G onzalez homered. The A stros hit five consecutive singles, including one by Gonzalez, in the first in n in g for a 3-0 lead against Bob Tewksbury. A n d re s G a la rra g a h ad an RBI Astros Ken Caminiti rolls under leaping Cardinal Gerónimo Pena. Associated Press ground er in the C ardinals' fourth and Gerónimo Pena homered in the next inning for St. Louis. "It happens like that sometimes," Perez said. "I went in there like always try­ ing to get some groundballs. It just happened that a couple of them got through tonight." T au b e n see h a s b een sh o w in g im p ro v e m e n t sin ce he re tu rn e d from Tuscon July 10. H e's had a four-hit game and a three-hit game. "You get dow n there and realize you don't want to stay," he said. "I feel like I'm here to stay now." The Astros remain in fifth place in the NL East. Penn State suspends 2 football players Nittany Lion w ide receivers charged in apartment break-in; Paterno ‘upset and saddened’ Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — P enn State football coach Joe Paterno on W ednesday suspended two players charged in an apartm ent break-in, say in g he w as " u p s e t a n d s a d ­ dened" about the allegations. Wide receivers Ricky Sayles, 22, an d B obby E n g ram , 19, w e re charged w ith b u rg lary , theft and receiving stolen p ro p e rty , police said.

T h e D a il y T e x a n Thursday, August 27, 1992 Page B15 Texas’ six-hitter stops Royals, 3-1 Associated Press ARLING TON — R oger P avlik can relax. He's earned a spot in the Texas Rangers' starting rotation. Pavlik pitched his second straight strong game, allowing one run and six hits in 7 1/3 innings to lead the Rangers to a 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on W ednesday night. Last Thursday, Pavlik pitched a six-hitter against Chicago for his firs t m a jo r-le a g u e v icto ry . This time, he needed help from Jeff Rus­ sell, who got the last five outs for his 28th save. P a v lik 's has impressed his manager, Toby Har- rah. p e rfo rm a n c e Pavlik had a great fastball and threw strikes," H arrah said. "H e threw the ball w ell right through his entire start. The ball was mov­ ing well, he just needs to keep it going. W e're going to throw him out there every fifth day.'' Pavlik was in the majors earlier in th e seaso n b efo re re tu rn in g to Triple-A O klahom a City. His last tw o outings have eased the pres­ su re he felt in tw o earlier starts, w hen he retired one of 10 batters while allowing a combined six hits and seven runs with three walks. "All I want to do is pitch in the big leag u e s," Pavlik said. " I t's a matter of trusting yourself. When I was up eariler in the year I had one bad outing, then didn't know what to think. "T hrow ing strikes is definitely the key. At the b eg in n in g of the year I was a head case regarding walks I want to stay ahead all the time, but som etim es you h av e to battle." The Rangers have won three in a row while the Royals have lost four straight. " I t's been five gam es since we put together any hits and generated some offense," Kansas City' m anag­ er Hal McRae said. "W e are a better offensive club than this, but Pavlik got the job done tonight. He had a real good b re a k in g ball an d his location was very good." Pavlik (2-1) struck out four and walked two before Russell came in with runners on first and third with one out. Russell stru ck out M ike Macfarlane and got Wally Jovner to pop out to short, then retired the side in order in the ninth. "Pavlik understood when he got here the second time that he has to th ro w s trik e s ," Texas p itc h in g coach Tom House said. "H e trusts his stuff. If he stays w ith the game plan he can compete at this level." Blockers Continued from page B16 teammates' ability to thwart it. "They know exactly where I'm su p p o sed to h it all the tim e," H ib b en said. " T h a t m akes us work even harder — we have to get up on time and reach high. In games, the other team isn't used to going against us every day, so it's m u ch e a sie r to run* the offense." That concept works both ways, of course. Scouting reports provide the Longhorn defense w ith its only clu es to s to p p in g o p p o sin g te a m s ' attac k s. H ib b en has learned from experience, achiev­ ing the No. 7 sp o t in UT's all- time solo block rankings. But she has no trouble blending her indi­ vidual skills into the team men­ tality. "B locking is the first line of our defense," H ibben said. "If we put up a good block, it makes it easier for the diggers. They can read around us." In p re se a so n p ra c tic e , Jam ey so n h a s fo u n d a lin k between the dual duty that m id­ dle blockers face — attem pting to p u t the ball on the floor one play and then keeping it from getting there the next. "Y o u h av e to be e x p lo siv e w h e n you h it an d w h e n y o u block," Jam eyson said. "T h at's the key to both skills. But every hitter and blocker is different." Jam ey so n le a rn e d e n o u g h about SWC hitters last year to lead the conference in blocks in SWC matches. The junior stepped up to play the middle position after Hibben was sidelined by mononucleosis. This season, both Jam eyson an d H ib b e n are h e a lth y a n d experienced.

" I t 's a p ia n d a to ry class." It w as an iro n ic bit of scheduling, given the tremendous am ount of rum ors and hype surrounding the freshman for the past few weeks. Speculation about the low-key negotiations between M orenz's father and the Toronto Blue Jays have given rise to rum ors of signing bonuses of m ore than $1 million m eant to lure the Longhorns' prize recruit away to big-league baseball. It w asn't until this morning that Texas fans could breathe a sigh of relief. By attending classes Wednesday, Morenz nullified his eligi- bilty to sign w ith a pro baseball club until after his junior year. Morenz has m aintained over the past two weeks that his place was at Texas, in class and on the gridiron. "I'm glad I'll finally be able to concentrate on one thing, having a norm al college life," Morenz said. "M y dream has been to be a reg­ ular guy getting a good education and being quarterback for the football team." M orenz said Toronto contacted his father Tuesday, but nothing materialized.

W hen asked how his father had played a part in his decisions, Morenz said that what advice his dad had given him had encouraged him to come to Texas and get a degree. "My dad feels like I do — that a good edu­ cation is really invaluable," Morenz said. "H e also had a chance to compete in collegiate ath­ letics and impressed upon me how much fun it was for him." While the Blue Jays may have lost their shot at the two-sport star, the prospect of Morenz playing baseball for the Longhorns this spring is already being thrown about. "Through the football recruiting process, I talked to coach Gus a lot, because being able to play baseball was a big concern for m e," M orenz said. " I'm co n fid en t I'll have the o p p o rtu n ity to p la y b o th s p o rts h e re at Texas." Texas head coach John Mackovic supported M orenz's aspirations, saying that he h ad no problems with his freshman star playing two sports. " H e 'll have a great career here, playing football and baseball both, if he w ants to," Mackovic said. "N ot m any people have the chance to do that." However, not many people have the chance to tu rn d o w n a sig n in g b o n u s of the size Morenz is rum ored to have passed on. Any regrets, Shea?

H am m onds, the fourth pick, was given a $975,000 bonus by the Orioles. M urray held off attending classes Wednes­ day in order to retain his eligibility. Once he sets foot in a classroom, the Giants will lose rights to him, and M urray's only options will be returning to Texas or not playing at all. "I w ant this to come to a quick conclusion, whether I go to class or play pro ball," M urray said. "I'll just w ait and see a few days before I decide." M urray attended the Longhorns' inform al practice W ednesday at Disch-Falk Field, tak­ ing batting practice from Brooks Kieschnick. He said he had not heard from the Giants.

In papers filed M onday with the U.S. Dis­ trict C ourt in Chicago, the form er com m is­ sioners said they believed Vincent had the po w e r to o rd e r th e C hicago C ubs and St. Louis Cardinals to the NL West next season and the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds to the NL East. Vincent ordered the m ove on July 6 under his power in the Major League Agreement to act "in the best interests of baseball " The Cubs sued the following day, and U.S. District Judge Suzanne Conlon issued a prelim inary injunction on July 23. The 7th U.S. C ircuit Court of Appeals is to hear the case on Sept. 30, and the Cubs are pressing for a perm anent injunction from Conlon. "Based on my experience as commissioner and my understanding of the commissioner's p o w ers u n d e r th e MLA, I believe th at the realignment decision at issue in this case falls squarely w ithin the score of those pow ers," Ueberroth wrote. "I have no doubt the challenged decision of com m issioner V incent concerning N ational League realignment is well in the scope of his authority," Kuhn wrote.

Instead of joining the chorus of the thousands who criticize the paper, come harmonize with us and have a real impact. Located in the bottom of the Texas Student Publications building are the newsrooms of one of the nation's best college newspapers — The Daily Tex ¡in. Texan alumni include many Pulitzer Prize win­ ners and nam es like W alter C ron kite, Berke Breathed and Catherine Crier. You could follow in their footsteps with just a little work — well, perhaps more than just a little. But beyond experience in writing and editing, you w ill m eet m any new people and attend ostentatious gala parties, paid for by the editor. Many students of different views and stripes work on the Texan staff. Unlike some clubs and professional organizations, Texan staffers come from even- walk of life imaginable. Fraternities, sororities and political organiza­ tions can't make such boasts. Nor do they pay. Not only can you come to campus and cover and comment on exciting events — you actually get You don’t need previous experi­ ence and you don’t need to be a journalism major.

You don't need previous experience and you don't need to be a journalism major. Jobs vary a great deal, so you don't even have to like writing. We have students who shoot photos, lay out pages and read copy for errors. And if you don't want to join us in the basem ent, you can sell retail or classified advertisements to raise Texan revenue. We don't require previous experience — we will provide it for you. Texan staffers get to cover a vast range of stories. In just my own experience, I have covered Bill Clinton and the American Gladiators and flown in a trauma chopper. The Texan was in Killeen when troops were being sent to the Persian Gulf, and in Brenham when the gas exploded. Just recently, we have had staff p ro vid e us with cov erag e from New Y ork, Guatemala, Louisiana and Spain. These types of stories do not come often, but our reporters are always covering big-name local, city, state and national politicians. Lest we forget, we're located in the state's capital at a large uni­ versity mired in a hotbed of activism. If the politi­ cal pulse jumps, The Texan is there to comment. If the news thing doesn't grab you, there's always entertainment and sports. Texan sports writers cover major regional professional and col­ legiate teams. S ta ffers p rovid e press box cov erag e of Longhorn baseball, football and basketball and Lady Longhorn basketball and volleyball. Former sports staffers work at major regional and nation­ al newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and The Dallas Morning News. And if you want to cover movies, plays and band s — we can p ro vid e th at as w ell. Entertainment staff cover the Austin music scene, review books, theater and records. Former enter­ tainment staffers have gone on to jobs ranging from writer with The Dallas Morning News to the managing editor of Spy magazine. With so many opportunities, I know you're already sold.

The w ell-trafficked rivers close to Austin are almost too crow ded d u rin g sum m er. The G uadalupe R iv er below Canyon Lake Dam (45 miles south) is clear turquoise-blue, 68 degrees in sum­ mer and so crammed with tubers in season that it's almost impassable.

Rent a tube at Sattler, take a cooler and float down to Gruene. (Gruene Hall is a celebrated dance hall.) The rapids are mostly tame, but the scenery's aquiferrific. Aquifer tourism is big business in the Hill Country. Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels (45 miles south on I- 35) is a massive, man-made water- fun park built on a river, the Comal, that flows out of the ground nearby at Landa Park. If you have to ask the admission price, though, you c a n 't called it. S ch litte rb a h n b ecau se of New Braunfels' much-vaunted German heritage; they serve sausage-on-a- stick.

Actually, few UT students seem to care about Aquarena Springs, but they're still optimistic). There's also a glass-bottom ed boat rid e that allows you to see the aquifer up close while sipping a Diet Coke. Caves are everywhere in the Hill C ou n try (caves are a featu re of limestone, and the aquifer is really one big, w ater-filled cave). Near Mason (130 miles west) is a Nature Conservancy preserve w here the bats come out of the cave and circle around counterclockwise (suppos­ edly impelled by the Coriolis force). A groovy, environmentally aware student-type with lots of free time lives there with the bats in summer. Natural Bridge Caverns (near New Braunfels) is the best of the area's tourist caves, with huge formations created by dripping calcium car­ bon ate that took a long tim e to form, like millions of years or some­ thing.

You've flown to a shining city for your big job interview, and in the limousine's back seat you're making a list of the minimum job perks you'll accept. You step out onto the curb before a glistening high-rise building. Inside, the elevator stops on the 20th floor, where avant-garde artwork juts from the paneled walls. In the interviewer's office, you're perusing the list of benefits and honing your last-minute strat­ egy for copping your ideal salary. You, however, are not a law student who's passed the bar, an engineering Ph.D. candidate, or a sum m a cum laude m aster's of business administration degree holder. Cut to your sweaty bed. A tattered news clip­ ping on your bulletin board blares, "Tightest job market for graduates in 20 years!" You've drawn red circles around classified "job opportunity" listings in the local paper, and you've signed up at your college's career center. It's day 41 after graduation, but you're still unemployed. Your parents have started dropping hints at breakfast that the corner gas station would at least pay something, and the H.E.B. needs bag­ gers. You snap, "I have a college degree!" and leave without eating. This scenario may be far ahead in your future, or upon you at the moment. But since the job market might not improve until after the year 2000, you might as well start planning your head- on strategy now. In this jobless scenario, before serious depres­ sion descends upon you, ask yourself a few ques­ tions. Can I get up in the morning? Can I follow directions to find a new place? Can I pick up a phone or type a letter? Am I a reasonably good speller, and do I know at least one type of word processing or spreadsheet software? If so, you may be immediately employable at places some­ w hat or even quite a bit m ore upscale than Chevron or the grocery store. Agencies in Austin The most helpful and professional agen­ cies in A ustin are O lsten (8140 N. MoPac Expressway, 345-3327), Adia (1106 Clayton Lane, 454-5211), N orrell (8200 N. MoPac E xpressw ay, 343-0914) and A ccountem ps (12015 Park Thirty-Five Circle, 835-0883). They w ill expect more of you, but they'll offer better positions and better pay. On the second tier, Todays Temporary (7718 Wood Hollow Drive, 346-1440, or 1701 Directors Blvd., 448-2223), Temporaries Inc. (9050 Capital of Texas Highway North, 346- 1551) Tempcraft (1701 Directors Blvd. Ste. 340, or 4030 W. Braker Lane, 343-7777), Talent Tree (6850 Austin Center Blvd., 343-6400) and most of the others in the phone book may be slightly more frustrating to work with. They make you take more tests, they have older equipment, and their representatives often seem less genial. O n the lo w e s t rung, E vins P erson n el Consultants (2013 Anderson Lane, 454-9561) lies in w ait for unsu sp ectin g job-seekers. Evins has lost applicants' entire files and test scores, and they ask outrageous fees for their permanent job referrals. NEVER PAY A FEE TO ANY AGENCY FOR ANY REASON. Evins' representatives seem terribly overworked, and w h ile they may be able to find decent-paying work for you, the grueling waits and the hoops you must jump through are probably not worth it. The short-term answer to unemployment is temporary work, or "temp" work. While the jobs may not exactly get your imagination percolat­ ing, they will at the very least pay some bills while you keep looking. Besides, the temp jobs offer at least four priceless skills. One: You'll learn w hat it's like to do grunt work, which may kill any later impulse to act superior around those who are still doing it. Two: You'll get free on-the-job training, which will circumvent that age-old conundrum gradu­ ates face, w here em ployers say they can't hire you w ithout experience, but offer no advice on how to get the experience. Three: You'll learn how to learn anything fast. You have to develop cham eleon skills to fit in wherever you go. Four: you learn how hierarchies and customs in different offices affect the work flow. This may be m ore valuable than a whole handful of busi­ ness classes. You can work as a temp while you're in school, if you leave either your mornings or afternoons open, or a few whole days during the week. It's possible, though unlikely, that you'll find a lot of weekend work through the temp agencies. O p e n th e p h o n e b o o k 's y ello w p a g e s to "em ploym ent agencies" and find the subsection titled "em ploym ent contractors — tem porary help." Call and make some appointments. Call at least two agencies, maybe three. Up to eight or 10 is not unreasonable. More is always better. If you only have one agency, it could take weeks for them to place you. Juggle them.(Ignore all dulcet- toned requests for you to write down other agen­ cies you are working with. Never tell an agency ab o u t the m y riad o th ers. They w ill ice over immediately, and tell you that "things are slow right now.") A car offers you the entire city, but it's possible to ride the bus or bike to many jobs. First, you m ust get a suit or som ething that looks a lot like one. Nine-dollar Goodwill ensem­ bles will not do. Even "creative" types must set aside their innovative berets and political b u t­ tons. Just refer to any job-hunting book and fol­ low all the advice on how to dress for an inter­ view. You m ust look and act as if you're apply­ ing fo r a " r e a l " job w h e n e v e r y o u v is it an agency. Get a good haircut, w ear good shoes, bring a nice purse or briefcase ... you've heard it all before. You'll have to take typing tests, but mercifully most agencies have word processors now.

(O ther San A ntonio attractions include Splashtown, the somewhat comball Fiesta Texas and Sea World.) The H ig h la n d Lakes, w hich stretch west of Austin for 50 miles through high hills and winemaking country, are a recreational paradise for sailing, water-skiing and the rest of it. M arshall Ford M arina and Windy Point are nearby; Pace Bend, where people dive, is farther out. Hippie Hollow is where Austinites go to get nekkid. There are city parks all up and down the lakes, including Lake A ustin (12 miles west), and other good places to go, like the Pier, a good place to eat and hear live music on thfe water, and Oasis Cantina Del Lago, where the view is supposedly better than the food. Southwest of Kerrville (105 miles southwest; known for the Kerrville Folk Festival, deer hunting), the Lost M aples State N atural Area (150 miles southwest) offers hard­ core Hill Country scenery for you and the hundreds of other campers in the park w ith you. Go to Lost Maples in the fall, when the days are cool and the maple trees turn the park red. To get in touch w ith the lim e­ stone, take the scenic mountain dri­ ves east (RM 337 th ro u g h the Happy Valley to Medina) and north (RM 187) of Lost Maples through dramatic roadcuts and past water­ falls. M edina has a g reat apple goods store. The A lsatian Landmark Inn in nearby Castroville (100 miles southeast) has no TV, which is nice. While most of the Hill Country is the Edw ards Limestone, the area around Llano and Marble Falls (55 m iles or so w est, dep en d in g on your route) is not limestone but a billion-year-old igneous intrusion. The pink granite the Texas Capitol building is made out of comes from there. E n c h a n te d Rock State N a tu ra l of Fredericksburg), a giant granite dome mountain beloved by hippies, rock climbers and UT Recreation Sports Center treks, is the area's top attrac tio n and to Comanche legend, where the gran­ ite gods live. according (no rth A rea Don't walk in the vernal pools on top, but bathe in the waterfalls on the mountainside. Driving out to Lake Travis (15 miles west), through the juniper- strewn hills, you can see sites in the proposed Balcones C anyonlands Conservation Plan. The BCCP is the Hill Country's future, a compromise proposal by the Nature Conservancy to preserve 40,000 acres of h a b ita t for the region's endangered species — two songbirds and various cave crea­ tures — while allowing develop­ m ent to go on in other p a rts of western Travis County. If the BCCP goes th ro u g h , A u stin ites will always have a piece of Hill Country wildland close by — without a long road trip. Girbaud, Pepe and Guess?

Do the same in the afternoon, after 2 or 3 p.m. If they still say, “Things are slow," tell them y o u 'll go below y o u r m ini­ m um salary requirem ent an d you will do label pasting. Day Three: If your agencies still don't have anything for you, get in the car — if you have one — and drive by again. Stop in and sit in the chair next to the receptionist. “I was just wondering if anything had come in," you'll say. “ Let m e check w ith one of the tem porary representatives," sh e/h e will answer. M ore th an likely, your rep will invite you back to his or her desk.

You might be w onder­ ing w h at to do if m ore th a n one agency comes up with work for you sim ultaneously. It rarely happens, but if so, take the job that sounds best, and say you'll call the other agency when you're available again. Once a company offers you a job, ev e n for one d a y , an d y o u 'v e accepted it, you m ust go. Then call all your other agencies and tell them you're no longer available for that day or whatever length of time the job m ight be.

They will not forget this, and y o u w ill not w o rk for th a t agency again in your lifetime. A w arning: Agency people will look at your résumé, no m atter how glittering, and tell you th at m ost people have m ore experience and better education, but they m ight be able to find something for you.

While you m ay still be coughing and sputtering at th t idea of it, temp work m ay emerge as the only thriv­ ing industry d uring the recession. D on't knock it. For all the reasons listed above, it beats hell out of hid­ ing u n d e r the covers at hom e, or w o rk in g for $4 an h o u r w ith the high-school kids. It's not for your entire life. A little flexibility m ight n e t you a job y o u can live w ith inside of six months, through your contacts as a tem p. But really, the best jobs come through your ow n efforts. Let the agencies buoy you up during your search. *74e ‘r&aaae SCe^dutce "ttyeUx, S éin & *7Uul SrrcUcc Sx^twCd- Facials - Non Surgical Face Lifts Manicures & Pedicures Nail Extensions Hand ties 100% Human Hair Ask for Rena Prejean or Nora LeDay 1191 Navasota CLOSED MONDAYS TUES.-FRI. 9-6/SAT. 9-2 Mention this ad for 10% off 476-9428 Free Parking in R ear 386/33 • 80Mb Hard Drive • 4Mb, 60ns RAM ■64K Cache Super VGA Monitor High Performance Video 3 5" & 5.25" Floppy KeyTronics 101-Keyboard 2 Ser, 1 Par, 1 Game Two Year Warranty Parts & Labor *1349 Sale Ends 8/29/92 4 8 6 / 3 3 ! “ * * 1 6 9 9 386/33 $145 Word for Windows Excel for Windows $145 Quattro P ro ....................... $79 dBase I V .......................... $209 WordPerfect (dos/win) $135 Lotus 1-2-3 v3.1.............. $145 Lotus 1-2-3 W in $139 Windows D raw ............ $85 PFS First Publisher $60 Norton D esktop............ $85 Microsoft W o rk s ........... $90 Paradox........................ $60 Turbo C + + .................... $69 Borland C + + ............... $109 Turbo Pascal............... $59 DR.

Members of the minority communities have sup­ ported single-m em ber districts — like the Austin Independent School District uses for its board of trustee races — to increase their represen­ tation on the council. Interesting enough, though, is that all of these different councilmembers are elect­ ed by m any of the same voters. N ext to Gus is C ouncilm em ber Bob Larson. Larson — who runs the Old Tim er's clock shop — watches governm ent spending w ith a close eye. The former airman is also a big advocate of moving Robert Mueller Municipal Airport to Bergstrom Air Force Base, which the Departm ent of Defense will close soon. The air- po rt-m ove debate has w axed and waned in Austin since the early '80s. East Austin residents have wanted to move M ueller aw ay from their homes further east to Manor. Voters a p p ro v e d b u ild in g an a ip o rt at Manor. W hen th e D efense D ep artm en t p u t Bergstrom on the base closure list, co u n c ilm e m b e rs w h o h av e w a n te d to save m oney a n d take advantage of the federal facilities pushed for Bergstrom as the better option. Garcia has expressed some con­ ce rn , b e c a u se B erg stro m lies in S o u th e a s t A u s tin , w h e re m an y Hispanics reside. But the council is larg ely u n ite d on the idea. L and finance, base design and a support­ ive vote from the people next May or August are the only things stand­ ing in the way. To the sits M ax, fa r en d Councilmember Max Nofziger that is. Whereas Larson is the elder tight- fiste d w a tc h m a k e r, M ax is the flower child of the '60s. Indeed he used to sell them from a cart. The bearded N ofziger explains that he came to Austin during the '60s and decided to stay when he discovered that peaceniks and rednecks could coexist in the Hill Country, as long as there was good music. Max will tell y o u th a t sm o th e rin g B arton Springs with im pervious cover will happen over his dead body. He is the council's committed Green. Last, b u t ce rtain ly not least, is Louise. With flared hair and mouth of perfect ivory whites, Epstein can smile her way through any activist assault. She, like Larson, Reynolds and Urdy, has come under fire from "co u n cil re g u la rs ," w h o a tte n d w eekly m eetin g s to heckle T odd and crew on local access television, for opposing spending and environ­ mental regulations hurting econom­ ic growth. Louise and Larson have even been targeted for a recall by activists. The effort to o u st the tw o has produced several thousand signa­ tures and a few yard signs, but little recognition beyond that. The coun­ cil really is a diverse and entertain­ ing body. Readers who doubt this should wander down to Council Chambers some Thursday night and find out for th e m se lv e s.

V isio n s of an a rch ic snarls of ro ad w ay s and car p arts danced through my head every time I put the key in the ignition. But I got used to things, as we all do. A nd I have to adm it, there is som ething alm ost seductive about the way people drive in Austin — a '50s k in d of sex in ess, like Jam es Dean, ever cool and untouchable, tooling down the road in a tiny con­ vertible and a bad leather jacket.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KRISTINE WOLFF Before boarding, many passengers arrived in Cedar Park to watch the crew prepare the Hill Country Flyer for the 33-mile trip to Burnet. It m ay n ot be the fastest w a y to B u rn e t, b u t th e r e s to r e d H ill C ountry Flyer offers a relaxing and in te re stin g c h u g on a h isto ric line through ranches, w ooded areas and sm all canyons along the San Gabriel River. The excursion begins at 10 a.m. in C e d a r P a rk , w h e r e d e c k e d - o u t atten d an ts and train crew are busy p re p a rin g the train for the 33-mile trip, w hich takes about 2 h o urs each d irection. The crew is m ad e u p of volunteers. Susan R ichardson, exec- tive director of A ustin Steam Train A ssociation, said that m ost of them w ere "train n u ts." T h e fu n c o n tin u e s in B u rn e t w here m usic, special films, dancing and barbecue abound. There is plen­ ty of tim e to eat a hom estyle meal or visit the new Air Force m useum . W hile enjoying the scenery, there are p lenty of stories to be heard by passengers and volunteers alike. "I w as ra ise d on a ra ilro a d an d fo o led a ro u n d w ith tra in s all m y life.

Barbara Brehl of R ound Rock, rid ­ in g w ith h e r h u s b a n d E d a n d grandson A dam H artm an, 4, said, "I am o rig in a lly fro m P e n n sy lv a n ia and I probably rode on a train m uch lik e th is o n e w h e n I w a s a c h ild b e c a u s e th e y w e re w id e ly u s e d th ere. T his is a real tre a t to th in k back that far." H artm an said he had n e v e r b e en on a tr a in b e fo re a n d that he enjoys seeing th e cars go by a w aving to the people in them . The train is a 76-year-old steam locom otive pulling six vintage p a s­ se n g e r cars. It w a s re s to re d b y a th re e -y e ar v o lu n te e r effort sta rte d by the 1,600-member A ustin Steam Train Association. The train's coach­ es w ere built for the P ennsylvania Railroad in the 1920s. The line, chartered as the A ustin & N o rth w estern , w as bu ilt in 1882 and carried the fam ed pink granite that can be seen in the state Capitol b u ild in g . T h e lin e e v e n tu a lly becam e p a rt of the g re at S o u th ern Pacific system . It w as then sold to its c u r r e n t o w n e r s , th e C ity of A ustin and C apital M etro in 1986. "This is one of three steam engine routes in urban centers in the U.S.," Richardson said. In a s p e e c h b e fo re th e t r a i n 's dep artu re from C edar Park, Rep. J.J. "Jake" Pickle said, "U nited w ith the p a st w e are g o in g back to the o ld w a y s . W e m a y se e th is m a d e o f transportation m ore frequently than w e e x p e c t. T h is is a tr e m e n d o u s accom plishm ent.” "The econom ic im pact is signifi­ cant. It's projected that $30 m illion a year will go into the A ustin econo­ my. A nd th a t's a conservative e sti­ m ate. All the fu n d in g com es from donations," R ichardson said. "R eservations have been m ade far in advance for fam ily reunions and o u t- o f - to w n e r s a s fa r a w a y as Nebraska. The su p p o rt has been te r­ rific," said Richardson. The train holds about 300 people. It is currently running once a day on S atu rd ay a n d Sunday. Each seat is available by reservation. The cost is $10 for child ren 10 and u n d er, $20 for adults, and $35 for a seat in the air-conditioned car. "H opefully by the end of this fall there w ill be tw o trains running on Saturday and Sunday," R ichardson said. Is it for you? Ask your Doctor.

D e v e lo p ers a n d SOS o p p o n e n ts on the A ustin C ity C ouncil say the initiative, w hich ad d s fu rther regu ­ lations to the city's C om prehensive W atershed O rdinance, em ploys too restrictive stan d ard s on com m ercial and residential construction. T h e C W O e f f e c tiv e ly a llo w s developers to build 25 to 40 percent of im p e rv io u s c o v er — th a t's city bureacratese for concrete, rooftops, r o a d s a n d b u ild in g s — o n la n d tracts. The SOS reduces this stand ard to developers to build on effectively 15 to 25 p e r c e n t of th e d e v e lo p a b le land on a given tract. SOS Director Brigid Shea m aintains that only this h ig h e r m o re r e s tr ic tiv e s ta n d a r d will keep springs pristine. Environm entalists like Tim Jones o f E a rth F irst! sa y th a t p a r ts of Barton Creek w here there are devel­ op m en ts — in cluding golf courses, residential and com m ercial prop erty — h a v e a lg a e p lu m e s w h ich a re evidence of high er p o llutant runoff loads, m ainly from fertilizers. The creek in areas untouched by devel­ opm ent, they say, rem ains clear and free of chemicals. P o llu ta n t lo a d s are p a rtic u la rly im p o rta n t to the SOS C oalition, its ordinance aim s directly at po llu tant lo a d s. T h is g a u g e d iffe rs g re a tly from the CWO. The SOS m easu res the total load of p o llu ta n t run off from rainw ater. The CW O m easures con centrations of pollutants from runoff.

The SOS initiative does not allow for this credit. If a landow ner has a tra c t of la n d on a s te e p g ra d e o r n ear w ith large portion s to close to the creek, he or she can only build a p e rc e n ta g e on the land th a t is left w hich can be developed or w hat is know n as the net site.

A al A U S T I N , T E X A S In 1966 Pierre Celis began a revival of “w hite” beer. T h is exceptional beer had disappeared j with the closing of the last brewery of it’s type in Hoegaarden, Belgium in 1 9 5 7 . T his village | was and is famous for the traditional cloudy “w hite” wheat beer whose recipe dates back 5 0 0 years. Pierre's unlikely venture became an unparalleled commercial and critical success in the highly competitive European brewery scene with a production o f 2 6 0 ,0 0 0 barrels a year. A fter selling his brewery in 1990 to one of Europe’s largest brewing groups the Celis family turned to the exploding American micro-brewery scene. Today his legacy of imaginative but traditional brewing skill is continued in A ustin, Texas by his daughter and son-in-law. U sing primarily local ingredients the Celis Brewery produces three exceptional styles of beer: CELIS VVHI I E: A top-fermented, bottle-conditioned wheat beer with a fruity yeastiness tha will turn cloudy when chilled. CELLS PALE BOCK: Bright amber color, cold-filtered with excellent malt characters. CELIS G O LDEN : Pale in color with a hoppy nose and smooth dryness in the finish.

Get the man you deserve: a primer Amy LaGrone New Students Edition Staff All right, wom en, y o u 're in col­ lege now and that m eans the clock has sta rte d ticking. W h eth er you admit it or not, your future is on the line and in four years you'll be kick­ ing y o u rs e lf in the h e a d for n o t play in g your cards better. So the sooner you learn how to sw ing in the jungle of dating, the better your chances are to land in th at m u lti­ level house in the hills. Don't worry about getting a one- in-a-million guy because if you can learn a few simple tactics, you can have the life you know you deserve. - First, take a long look at yourself. If y o u 're not a lean, m ean female machine, shape up. Men really dig an hourglass figure, so slim dow n an d p u s h th o se s h o u ld e rs back. S k in n y leg s, a tig h t b u tt a n d a buxom chest will guarantee the eyes of any male to pop out of his head and scurry mercifully to your toes. Now, become that blonde bimbo you hate. If you're not naturally a hot babe, relax. After a few' months in the g ym , or a few h o u rs in surgery, you'll possess the magical ab ility to attra ct men to you like flies to ro a d k ill. L earn to lo v e spending hours highlighting, curl­ ing, teasing, fluffing, spritzing, fil­ ing, base-coating, painting, top-coat­ ing, linin g , co n to u rin g , sh ad in g , ch an g in g , m ixing and m atching. When you walk out of your room, y o u 'll feel the hateful stares from o th e r w o m en th a t let yo u know you're the hostess with the mostest. W herever you and your gal pals decide to go, pick your m an when you arrive. D on't w aste any time, because the com petition is there, an d th e y 'v e sp e n t the last th ree hours prim ping too. A nice tactic to use is the smoky-stare-from-across- the-room. It can be used on any man w ith o u t an y o n e else n o ticin g — allow ing you to establish several candidates in a m atter of m inutes. A t the sam e tim e , it g iv es y o u enough distance so you can retreat quickly if his attractiveness decreas­ es as his proximity increases. Walk that walk and talk that talk. N ow th a t y o u 'v e s p e n t all y o u r m oney p re p arin g to hook the big one, make sure your slink is in sync w ith w h a t you say. D o n 't w o rry about this because a slight sway of the hips and a small vocabulary are all you need. Once you've mastered the w ords Really? How interest- ing! you w on't need to learn any o th e rs. Ju st s trik e a p re tty po se w hen chatting w ith C an d id ate X, sm ile th at a w ard -w in n in g sm ile, and nod along with his dull drone. It's im p o rta n t to m ak e su re C andidate X is really w hat vo u're looking for. If there is anv indication he w o n 't be ab le to fu lfill the p ro p h ecy y o u 'v e d re am t u p , nip him in the bud. There's no reason to feel bad for this seek-and-find-and- question-and-dump approach, but if you do, ask yourself, "W hy should a sweet thing like myself settle for anything less than what I deserve?" W atch y o u r p ick like a haw k. Once y o u 're sure C an d id ate X is worthy of being seen with you, you need to stick to him like maggots to raw m eat. T hose o th e r w o m en innocent bystanders, they're aren't active participants in the m anhúnt- mg game. The minute you turn your back, you'll be overcom e w ith the pleasant sensation of a knife being driven into it. Make sure he watches you like a haw k. W hile y o u 're p lay in g him like a card in your deck, he's play­ ing you like an old, familiar song. If he s a typical guy, one of those baby blues is a wandering eye and you've got to make sure it keeps wandering back to you. This always gets sticky because you never want to look like you're looking to see if he's looking at you, or like you're looking to see who else he's looking at. You espe­ cially don't w'ant him to get a look at you because he might see what you really look like. If you 're having a fruitless evening, don't worry, you've only got four more glorious college years to sell yourself to that special man. After that your chances of meeting a serious contender drop significant­ ly. Any decent man w ill already have a girlfriend and y o u 'll be scrapping through the leftovers, pit­ ted against w om en w ho are younger, smarter and wealthier. The bottom line is: it's a man's world, and the sooner you start catering to every wom en's better half, the better the result you wind up with will be. As you get older and wrinkled, he gets character and definition. As you get old and frail, he gets sophisticated and estab ­ lished. You'll do better to beat them at their own game and trap them while they're young and foolish.

Be they roommates or suitemates, you still have to live with them and sometimes share stuff, often a g a in st y o u r w ill. It re m in d s o n e of fo rm e r Com m unist regimes: "That is for the collective good of the people, comrade." Most often, you will have to share the b ath ­ room. Discuss who buys toilet paper and when d o n atio n s to w ard p a p e r p u rc h a se sh o u ld be given. Count the towel racks and decide whose towels go w here and also w here guest tow els should go. The n ex t b a ttle zo n e is o ften th e k itch en . Designate shelves and, if you share items, make a grocery fund and keep receipts. Keep track of how many beers you have at all times. If any are missing, discuss it immediately and kindly with the roommates so you don't scream at them later. Oh, and if you dip into their groceries, tell them and replace it. The m o st te s t of ro o m m a te endurance: houseguests. Boyfriends, girlfriends, m others, fathers, siblings ... even those really good friends of yours who "just want to spend a few hours" hanging out. im p o rta n t I paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: "Fish and visi­ tors smell within three days." No matter how good a friend they are to you or } our roommate, they have their own house, and th ere are p laces in A u stin w h ich re q u ire no money where they can hang out. Members of the family can really cause problems if they show up W O M E N S T U D E N T C O - O P H O U S IN G r Y W OM EN S CO-OPS ON CAMPUS -Democratic Living —Fall Openings -Large Double Rooms —24 hr.

When that significant other is around, nothing you say will be comprehended. And remember, nothing is the main squeeze’s fault. Nothing. constantly. You moved into an apartm ent or dor­ mitory with a roommate to escape living with the parents who just w ant to give you a "few words of advice." Boyfriends and girlfriends are the test of any room m ate relationship. W hen that significant other is around, nothing you say will be compre­ h en d e d . A nd rem em ber, n othing is the m ain sq u eeze's fault. N othing. Even though y o u 're pretty sure he s the one who left the shower run­ ning in the bathroom (thus soaking your towels), d o n 't lash out. M ention the problem to your roommate later in the vein of "Is our shower leak­ ing or something?" Discuss everything with your roommate. Even little things like having someone drop by to drop something off. You need to establish regular talks with your roommate — alone. Don't bring along a chum to back you up on things. Even people w ho w ere best friends in high school need to find regular communication time because when you're best friends with someone, you almost always take it for granted that you com m unicate well w ith them and that you can live with their little annoying habits. Oh, and respect your roommate's study hours if they require complete silence. If they fail out, you may get a new one who may not be as cool.

Y our p a re n ts b o th m ajo red in su b te rra n e a n m arin e psychology and their wage labor em ploym ent doesn't pay enough to cover your tuition and books, and they certain­ ly c a n 't a ffo rd to p u t y o u up in som e lavish W est C am pus condo where the bill includes maid service and drinks with lots of tropical fruit in them. So you live in the d o rm . O r maybe not. Most freshpeople come to A ustin w ith only two h ousing options in m ind: dorm and ap a rt­ ment. W hat often goes overlooked is A ustin's popular cooperative hous­ ing. For the uninitiated, co-ops are housing owned and run by students who share expenses and also share the hassle of keeping the house from being condemned. Co-ops are gen­ erally m u ch ch e a p e r th a n a p a rt­ ments and usually very competitive w ith dorms. Most co-ops require residents to contribute about four hours of labor per week to keep the house running. Labor spans from really crappy jobs, like cleaning the kitchen after din­ ner, to really plush jobs, like sorting the mail. It's usually a combination of b o th an d , since co-op lab o r is usually about 90 percent kitchen- o rien ted , alm o st n o b o d y escapes cooking or cleaning the kitchen. There are several co-op system s o p e ra tin g in A u stin . C ollege Houses, Inc., runs several residen­ tial c o o p e ra tiv e s lo c a te d on the D rag and in W est C am pus. They also operate Opsis, a smaller coop­ erative inhabited m ostly by quiet, h yp ered u cated grad u ate stu d en ts specializing in subterranean marine psychology. O ther College Houses co-ops include 21st Street Co-op, Pearl Street Co-op and Taos Co-op. C ollege H ouses co o p e rativ es are typically large and reasonably well run (by co-op standards, anyway). Co-ops sell them selves on "h av ­ ing a sense of family," and indeed m any do. M ost co-ops are fairly close c o m m u n itie s, m uch closer than in dorm s and certainly closer than apartments. Co-ops have other ad v an tag es, such as the fact that th e re is e s s e n tia lly no fo rm a l authority other than hum an decency to control your behavior. If you like to walk around naked or have a personalized DEA file, co­ ops are probably y o u r best bet in housing. A nother co-op advantage is co-op parties. Co-ops are known for hav ing really good parties, with live music and kegs of Shiner Bock W orking in the kitchen is am ong the tasks cooperative housing residents perform as part of their everyday respon sibilities. subsidized by your rent money. C o-ops are d em o cratically ru n (u s u a lly by th e 5-7 p e o p le w ho attend house meetings) and are defi­ n itely an exam ple of gettin g o u t what you put in. Select a co-op carefully because, d ep e n d in g on the people, co-ops can be very good or very bad. The best co-ops offer very edible food, a pleasant atm osphere and are re a­ sonably priced. At less than ste lla r co-ops, the faults of collective planning become apparent through disgusting food and houses that turn into the dirtiest holes you can possibly imagine liv­ ing in. Before signing a co-op con­ tract, take a d e ta ile d to u r of the house and talk for a long time with the house officers. If it can be arranged, stay at the house for a few d ay s b efore you make a decision. Try the food. Some cooperative houses offer everything you co u ld w a n t from a h a b ita t. O thers offer m uch less, to say the least. Patrick Sison/Daily Texan Staff wm We re waiting for you in Austin...

However, an RA at Kinsolving said they are currently charging $6 a hole, so don't use nails. ■ A small desk lamp is also nec­ essary to rest your eyes from the complimentary dungeon-like fluo­ rescent lighting in every room. If you get a light with a big clip on the end, you can usually attach it some­ where near your bed so you don't bother your roommate with late- night cramming. ■ A small refrigerator is impor­ tant for keeping the staples of life at their proper temperature. Do not assume your roommate will bring the icebox or both of you will be stuck staring at a case of warm Diet Coke in August. This list is far from complete, but it should give you a clue that clean underwear and socks are not enough to make your room just like On a final note, do not try to learn how to play darts in your dorm room. home. However, some people have been known to take things a little too far. Jones said the most unusual thing he has seen in som eone's dorm room was a homemade hot tub. "Someone brought in one of those mini pools and hooked up some pumps and made a whirlpool," he said. Jones added that the system had to be disman­ tled because it was a fire hazard. Rock said the only strange item he has seen was a skull. "One of my residents brought a skull, but I don't think that's a necessity unless you're into that sort of thing," he said. On a final note, do not try to learn how to play darts in your dorm room. A dart board will only bring you hundreds of holes in your wall and a large bill at the end of the year. ^ ^ ,EW C o ^ o ¡¡fen 2 8 0 4 R i o G r a n d e • Prelease for Fall, Now • Flexible move in dates • New paint, New carpets • Huge 1 bedroom s, have everything • Covered parking, pool • 2 Bedroom s, 2 Baths • Washer/Dryers, Fireplace • Secured entry, Hot tub 2 - 2 ’S $ 7 6 9 1 - t ’s $ 5 7 5 R io G r a n d e P r o p e r t i e s 4 7 4 - 0 6 0 6 El Dorado, El Campo, La Paz & Villa Gardens Small Quiet communities featuring: • Pool ■ Ceiling Fans ■ CA/CH ■ Energy Efficient ■ Several Floorplans to Choose 1 5 minutes from UT On UT shuttle & Metro route 1 & 2 Bedroom s available office located at 3501 Speedway / H om e on th e range The hills around Austin are dotted with houses, townhouses and apart­ ment complexes like these.

Page D8 August, 1992 T he D aily T exan House of pain: Frat living is beer, vomit and more beer Kenneth “Bud’’ Weiser Néw Students Edition Staff When people first meet me and establish the fact that I am a member of an all-male Greek social organization, three things nor­ mally occur — first, they assume I'm a rich nincompoop. Secondly, they ask me to spin wild tales of grisly hazing incidents. Finally, they ask if I live in the house and, if so, to share my experiences with them. As to the first question, I will afford you, the reader, a chance to render judgm ent. The second question gives rise to stories to be chronicled in the New Students Edition II: The Truth about UT. (This is a joke) However, the final query into my experi­ ence as a resident of a fraternity house does bear repeating. Keep in m ind, good reader, that this is a real tale of campus life, not a pale m irror of suburban hell where there's always food in the fridge and clean clothes in the closet. This isn 't a fam ily show , so those w ith weak stom achs and bad backs, please pay heed. Let's start off w ith a real doozy. Our fra­ ternity has a spare bathroom that w as, at one time, used by the house m other of the former tenants. It has been in a state of use­ less disrepair for a num ber of years. This is a real tale of campus life, not a pale mirror of subur­ ban hell where there’s always food in the fridge and clean clothes in the closet. One night, as we w ere gathered dow n­ stairs reveling in our brotherhood, a mem­ ber cam e ru n n in g into the com m on area w ith his hand pinched on his nose and a distressed look on his face. It seems, he told us with a tear in his eye, th a t a b ro th e r had v o id e d h im se lf of a Pancho's all-you-can-eat meal in this spare bathroom som e time ago, and I do m ean some time ago. Since that fateful event some m o n th s p a s t, th e b a th ro o m had gone unopened and the commode, which to this day has never been flushed, had brought forth a biological com m unity of parasites living off half-digested sour cream enchi­ ladas. Needless to say, no one wanted to clean it up, so we used our vast wealth and power­ ful connections to have the area declared a disaster area by the EPA, thereby costing taxpayers millions of dollars in cleanup and disposal fees. The waste was dum ped in the Barton Creek watershed and we had a huge Superfund blowout with kegs and T-shirts. The real joy of liv in g in a frat h o u se (burp) is that it affords you an invaluable o p p o rtu n ity to bond w ith your b ro th ers (belch) and share in the communal experi­ ence that is fraternity ... (here the author falls inarticulate from retching). All seriousness aside, living in a fraternity house is like life itself, a series of endless compromises and disappointments punctu­ ated by brief moments of warm th and hap­ piness. Loud m usic at all h o u rs of th e n ig h t. D runk, irratio n al people d u m p in g o v er­ flowing garbage cans in front of your door. Broken air conditioning, broken television and a stopped-up toilet. And that sm e ll... S p eak in g of th a t n e b u lo u s sm ell th a t hangs in the air (so thick you could cut it w ith a knife, if it d o e sn 't knock you out first) reminds me of another story. W hen the s p rin g se ssio n e n d e d an d everyone was ready to go home, we had a random end-of-school party at our house. The next day, everyone got up and w ent home, leaving behind an assortment of half­ full beer cups, bottles of dip expectorant and uneaten Taco Bell bean burritos. I n d iv id u a lly , th ese th in g s w o u ld n 't am ount to much, but the combined aroma of this mountain of refuse created a Furrs- like buffet for every fly larva in C entral Texas. Needless to say, when we returned a week later for the start of the sum m er ses­ sion, it was The Day o f the Locust in our TV room. On that note, a few words about iheals at fra te rn ity ho u ses. T here are th ree m eal types partaken of in fraternity houses, and they differ from house to house. The first food is a form of sustenance found in every fratern ity . It is called by m any nam es th at fall u n d e r one general heading: Taco Bell valu e m enu. In q u ire inside about the frequent buyer plans. I just got an upgrade. A w ord of caution, how ever. If y o u 're going to make a run for the border, be pre­ pared to make a run for the necessary room. Speaking of runs, the second species is the in-house meal. It's prepared by the friendly "chef'' (I use this term loosely), who comes every day to prepare for you a steady diet of sp ag h etti w ith red sauce and corn dogs. Then, he m akes m ore sp ag h etti w ith red sauce and corn dogs. I never knew how m an y d ish e s co u ld be p r e p a re d u sin g spaghetti w ith red sauce and com dog left­ o v ers, i.e. corn d o g s w ith re d sauce or spaghetti dogs casserole. The third kind of meal indigenous to frat houses is catered m eals, b ro u g h t to you "fresh" (I also use this term loosely) from a factory somewhere in New Jersey. They are invariably hot on the outside and rock hard cold on the inside and there is little, if any, flavor. Luckily, they never bring enough. Now for the positives. Living in a frater­ nity house affords you com plete freedom with little or no responsibilty. Break some­ thing and you can blame it on the guy who w as too w asted last n ig h t to rem em ber, much less deny it. Forget to pay your rent, so what? Like they're going to kick you out. If you have to do the technicolor yaw n, open the door and do it in the hall. Someone will probably clean it up so they don't have to smell ft. There's always som eone around to buy you beer if y o u 're u n d e ra g e and th e re 's always spmeone to go drink with if you're legal. Ifiyou're bored, kick someone's door in and cover them w ith oil-based paint. Or fill a garbage can full of water and tip it up against their door. Saran-Wrap the toilet for late-night laughs. The down side to this mischievous behav­ ior is that y o u 're going to be a victim as often as you are the victor. And if you have a bodybuilding, hick, m entally im paired house manager, as is the case at my fraterni­ ty, he'll probably pound you into oblivion if he catches you. C'est la vie! G ard en G ate.

Unless the first place you see is such a com plete steal that no ap a rtm en t could ever come close to matching the luxury and price (in which case I'd want to find out if it was about to collapse from termites or be sold at foreclosure), don’t sign a lease or pre-lease agreement without looking somewhere else first. There simply aren't that m any u n iq u e ap a rtm en ts in A ustin. You m ay be able to find as nice an apartm ent just dow n the stree t for less m oney or w ith m ore amenities. Once you have signed a lease, though, you're stuck. You cannot legally get out of your obliga­ tions under the lease even if you let the manager know you d o n 't w ant the apartm ent w ithin 15 minutes of signing it. There is no grace period to cancel an apartm ent lease in Texas. It is, therefore, of utm ost importance that you read, understand and agree to all the terms of a rental con tract, lease ag reem en t or pre-lease agreement before you sign it. If you m ay not be able to comply with any of the terms in the writ- If you make changes to the lease, have the manager initial any changes. Do not take the manag­ er’s word that he/she won’t enforce any unwanted provisions. If the manager makes any promis­ es, get them in writing. ten lease, either change the terms in writing or do not sign the lease. If you m ake changes to the lease, have the manager initial any changes. Do not take the m anager's word that h e /sh e w o n 't enforce any unw anted provisions. If the manager makes any promises, get them in w rit­ ing. If possible, get the manager to write down how you will be com pensated — a reduction in rent of $20 per month until new carpet is laid, for exam­ ple — if the promises are not kept. Oral promises, like oral leases for less than one year, are enforce­ able, but are very difficult to prove. R em em ber, you can re n t an a p a rtm e n t or house for any length of time. Don't sign a lease for a nine-m onth period if you, or one of your potential roommates, m ight have to leave Austin after one semester. Even if you or a room m ate quit school and move out of town in December, if the term of the lease is until May, you will be held liable for the rent through May. Again, don't rely on the m a n a g e r's w ord that you w ill be released from the contract at the end of a semes­ ter if you sign up until May. Also, be sure the clause identifying the particu­ lar apartm ent you want to rent is filled out. Then go see that apartment. D on't let the manager just show you a model apartm ent that they mav tell you is the sam e as the ap artm en t you will be renting. The apartm ent you actually rent may be simi­ lar, but it w on't be exactly the same. Views will be different, colors m ight be the same, but faded, and the carpet, fixtures and appliances might not even be of the sam e century as the ones in the model. The ap artm en t m anager m ay not be legally entitled to show you the apartm ent if the present tenants have a Texas A partm ents A ssociation lease and haven't given, or been given, a notice of intention to terminate their lease, but that should not prevent you from going to see it by yourself.

(800) 334-5320 Section E ____________________________________________N e w S t u d e n t s E d it io n August 1992 Extracurricular? Good grades, lots Scott Stanford New Students Edition Staff The University is home to nearly 50,000 students, and it is not the largest university in the country. This is one of thousands of institu­ tions of higher learning that gradu­ ate tens of thousands of w illing employees into the labor pool each year. The unfortunate part is, there a ren 't tens of thousand s of job s available each year, and — believe it or not — the University is no special recruiting place for employers. A lm ost anyone accepted to a four-year school can graduate in four years if they do nothing but go to class, go home and go to an occa­ sional party (of which there are a few). It is actually no steep task to fin­ ish in three or 3 Vi years factoring in a cou ple of sum m ers. So here is your warning, generated from four years of careful observation. P eople who on ly go to sch ool don't get good jobs, if they get jobs at all. They aren't often accepted to graduate schools, they aren't select­ ed for many awards and don't wind up in many honor societies. Just fin­ ishing college is no great honor. These days, extracurricular activi­ ties are no longer extracurricular; they are an absolute necessity. This is no unfamiliar refrain, especially to the high school graduate who has only recently finished college appli­ cations. But this situation is some­ what different. We're not talking about the differ­ ence between going to UT-Austin or Texas A&M (which, as you will dis­ cover, is appreciably smaller than you might expect). W e're talking about the difference b e tw e e n being em ployed after college or taking your 3.5 grade point average back home to Mom a n d Dad until your high school needs more substitute teachers. of studying are fine, just not enough We’re not talking about the difference between going to UT-Austin or Texas A&M (which, as you will discover, is appreciably smaller than you might expect). A couple of true stories: A w om an recen tly grad u ated from the University after four years, having achieved no less than a 3.0 GPA in her last two years of school. Follow in g her a sp ira tio n s, she applied to several law schools with varying degrees of prestige, includ­ ing the UT School of Law and one "surefire" Southern school. Despite the w arnings of her friends (and common sense), school was all she did, plus that occasional party. The "surefire" school was the first of six rejection letters to arrive. W hat's she doing now? Living with her parents with no clue how to fix her situation, contemplating atten d in g a n eigh b orh ood com ­ muter college to get a (worthless) graduate degree in something she doesn't want to study. from A man grad u ted a C alifornia university a few years ago with a human biology degree. He thought, as a freshman, he want­ ed to go to med school. He did rea­ sonably well on the MCAT and had mediocre grades. But while he was an undergrad, he pursued many of his interests outside of his class- work, ranging from politics to a fra­ ternity to computer programming. About halfway through his senior year, he decided that med school would be a fate worse than death, though it was too late to change his major. Instead of applying to any graduate schools, he applied for investment banking jobs, which he did not get, having no experience. He was enthusiastically hired by a computer company, not in a tech­ nical position, but in a management post. A year and two raises later, he was asked to be the vice president of a small California company and given a six-figure salary. When he got bored with that, he left to start his own company, which failed mis­ erab ly . Now h e 's a H ollyw ood agent, and all this at the age of 25. The kind of person w ho gets involved is a special breed who can do about anything sh e/h e decides to do, and employers realize that. Not to m ention, it helps to learn how to greet success and failure before it means living in either a house or a park. This is not to say some people who only go to sch ool c a n 't do almost everything, but those people have no track record of doing any­ thing. How does a company know your potential unless you demon­ strate it? The opportunities to distinguish yo u rself from the m asses at the University are multitudinous. There is an organization for almost every­ thing on earth here, many of which are explained to you in these very pages. Som e require m ore w ork than others, but keep in mind that meaningful work is easy to identify on a résumé. For example, being able to point to a project you handled from start to fin ish is m ore sav ory to an em ployer/adm issions board than so m eth ing akin to “ m em ber: Nebulous Pre-professional Organ­ ization." Résumé padding is obvi­ ous and it doesn't pay. College is no Roman Colosseum, where administrators watch gleeful­ ly as the lion s d evou r h elp less undergrads. It's more like an obsta­ cle course, with an occasional lion thrown in for good measure, intend­ ed to weed out the hapless wander­ er or h op eless stu d e n t-fo r-h ire. Consider this your shortcut around them. The Campus Coalition for Choice was just one of many groups students signed up for on the West Mall. TSP File Photo TI calculators work harder.

Sometimes that is justified . . . especially when God has been forced down their throats as a vindictive, angry dispenser to hell. But, thanks to our ads, even the Daily Texan isn’t lost.

'In the past, I've had some trou­ ble expressing m yself in writing, but in this class, the ideas flowed out of me like a waterfall," says the radio major who took a course that pairs academic study with commu­ nity volunteerism. The course was the idea of Philip K lukoff, chairm an of C olum bia's English department. He theorized th at if stu d en ts w orked am ong C h ica g o 's n eed iest citiz e n s, the experience and stimulation would im p rov e their w ritin g sk ills. Students would keep detailed jour­ nals of their volunteer experiences, later turning the material into fin­ ished essays. The resu lts exceeded ex p ecta­ tions, says Fred Gardaphe, a faculty member. " It seems that once they focus on subjects that interest them intensely, they gain a confidence and authority which allows them to write with great eloquence." Community service is becoming integrated into academ ic life all over the co u n try , accord in g to R oger N ozaki, co o rd in ato r o f Campus Compact, a coalition of col­ lege and university presidents. "It is increasingly difficult to exist in this country and not be aware of social problems here," he says. "There is now some sense of the excess of the '80s, that personal gain is not the answer. There has to be something larger." Volunteering is not totally altruis­ tic. Community work can give stu­ dents wider learning, career train­ ing and course credit, according to .the organization. And some colleges are requiring community service as part of their degree programs. O ften volunteer w ork m atches professional interests. Architecture stu d en ts at the U n iv ersity of Pennsylvania work on community beautification projects, for example. And quick work by graduate stu­ dents at the Fashion Institu te of T e ch n o lo g y in New Y ork C ity helped save a textile and decorative arts collection in the Old Merchant's H ouse M useum in G reen w ich Village.

KAPIjVN ofifer lake Kaplan Or lake Your Chances Ever since Norman Mailer foisted the concept of the white Negro onto the American vernacular in the '50s, Americans, and in particular young Americans, have been obsessive in their search for the cool. From the bebop-laced coffeeh ou ses of the Beats to the radical chic of the '60s to our own generation's desperate Po-Mo cultural melange, cool has been the common cultural currency from Boston to Beijing. But the cool comes with a para­ dox: That which is labeled “ cool" isn't. Cool is about exclusion, about being hip to things Middle America is unaware or disdainful of. Naming it takes away some magic. So, why a guide to cool crawls in Austin? W ell, as y o u 'll soon find out, many things in Austin are labeled cool, but some of them have gone beyond the sim p le u n co oln ess which com es with labeling; they have entered the realm of self-paro­ dy. The coffee shops on the Drag, for instance. Walk by them and take a look at the people earnestly trying to look hip and sophisticated, dra­ matically sipping coffee, dramatical­ ly sm oking unfiltered cigarettes, dramatically playing chess, or sim­ p ly and d ram atic ally flip p in g through a dog-eared copy of The Dharma Bums. In fact, they look fool­ ish, poseurs at their worst. This list is designed to spare you that fate and point you instead in the general direction of interesting, quirky, off-the-beaten-path places and establishm ents. This is not a how-to manual, nor is it the final word of God; cool is in the mind, cool is w here you m ake it. Go, explore, but be your own self; noth­ ing is cooler than that. So, fashioning our cool, postmod­ ern, list-type examination, we go: 1. The literature section at Half- Price B o ok s on the D rag (3110 G u a d a lu p e St.). On the D rag is p ro b ab ly the b est; the store is room ier than the one on Burnet Road and the selection is quirkier than all the rest. The lit section (not the cheesy mass-market paperback racks) and the accompanying poet- r y /d r a m a /e s sa y /lit-c r it space is located on the left side of the store next to the records. You can easily while away a half hour browsing , trying to discover something new to DON'T IfflVT It’s Cheaper to Buy Your U.T.

Student Rob Cherry putts at the Pitch & Putt Golf Course while student Eric Paust holds the signal flag. Patrick Sison/Daily Texan Staff read, usually pretty cheap. As long as you can keep from looking too pompously earnest, you'll be OK on the cool scale. 2. El Azteca (2600 E. Seventh St.). As a rule, Austin's East side has the best restaurants if you're looking for Mexican, barbecue, or homestyle. Azteca, as you might guess, is in the M exican category. The food has been classified as barrio style, which d o esn 't m ean a w hole lot. More meaningful, perhaps, is the fact the food is good and fairly inexpensive (try the barbacoa; don't ask what it's made from) and the decor (velvet paintings, shrines to the Virgin and the whole nine yards) is hard to beat anywhere in town. 3. H enry's Bar and G rill (6317 Burnet R oad). In a tow n which p rid e s itself on its m usic scene, Henry's is a hidden jewel. A small­ ish, d ark ish p lace, the join t is n on eth eless hard to b eat for ambiance: tables covered with C&W memorabilia, some of the best alter­ native country acts play in g live, rugged clientele, no cover, and, at $1.50 a bottle, one of the best beer bargains in town. Keep an eye out for the nights Junior Brown plays. Trust me. 4. D e n n y 's (v a rio u s lo cation s around town). In our post-every- thing generation, camp has begun to achieve its ow n level of cool. Therefore, if you're looking for a good c o ffeeh o u se I recom m end D en n y's. D en n y's is the perfect resp ite from an u gly u n carin g world; it never surprises you. The food is dependably bland, the staff dependably bright-eyed, the coffee average, but drinkable. Plus, they're open all night. Go by at 3 a.m., grab a bottomless cup of joe, sit back and reflect on the human condition. 5. High Time Tea Bar and Brain Gym (314 Congress Ave.). Sure the whole coffeehouse idea has been done to death, but somehow new life keeps popping through. High Time is an u n u su al h an gou t; it doesn 't serve hooch, only coffee, tea, fruity sodas, and the like. The best thing about the place is that you can rent games. Y'know, board gam es, so you can grab a table, a couple of friends, some cappuccino, and get in a couple of rounds of Scrabble™ all for a few d o llars. They also do open-m ike po etry readings M onday nights if you're into that kind of thing. 6. Pitch & Putt Golf Course (201 Lee-Barton Drive). Situated across Barton Sp rin gs Road from Town Lake, Pitch & Putt reaches the per­ fect balance between real golf and the Putt-Putt variety . B asically , w e're talking about nine holes of golf on a smaller course than you'd find in a country club. You get the opportunity to practice your swings (and slices), without having to put up w ith old w hite gu y s in b ad slacks. The railroad tracks border the course to one side, and you can rent clu b s and p u tte rs from the crusty proprietor. Watch out for the big pond between holes 6 and 7 and have fun. 7. Those large transmission tow­ ers on Loop 360. At night, if you look southward into the distance, you'll notice seven large radio tow­ ers, flashing their red lights. These are a cool place to make a pilgrim­ age. I can't —or w on't— tell you exactly how to get to them (or rea­ sonably close) other than to say take 360 south. Half the coolness comes from the challenge. Bonus points to anyone who does this at 2 a.m. So there you have it, a list of seven cool craw ls. Do you rself a favor and take a week out (one day for each crawl) and sam ple what A ustin has to offer. Who knows, you m ight find som e other cool places for yourself.

D espite w hat those in the bu sin ess sch o o l m igh t tell y ou , a college ed u cation should serve to turn you into a better-rounded indi­ vidual. Unfortunately, at M cUniver- sity it is all too easy to lose sight of that fact, drift for a couple of years and not get much of a sheen to the raw kno w led ge d rilled in to your skull. To co u n ter this effect, I alw ays recom m en d read in g. N ot ju st the stuff they tell you to read in class, but outside reading. For your own personal enjoym ent. People almost expect college students to do this. But, of course, w hat to read? This I really cannot dictate to you, but I can offer some suggestions. And so, I have devised this list of 10 books I think you m ight try to look into. I emphasize this list constitutes noth­ ing more than personal favorites. It is not a balanced representation of the printed word nor is it a political vehicle. By no m eans should it be viewed as an "all-tim e top 10 books to be read ." Look into it, but keep an open mind and make your own decisions. And if I turn someone on to something, all the better. So, in no particular order: 1. On the Road — Jack Kerouac. In many ways, the essential Beat novel, where protagonist Sal Paradise hits the o p en ro a d s o f A m e rica w ith frien d /ro le m o d el/o bsessio n Dean Moriarty. Although the book lacks a little something by way of plot, it is a fascinating rumination on life, zen and the U .S. of A, not to m ention the novel that launched a thousand road trips. 2. The Autobiography o f M alcolm X — M alco lm X w ith A lex H aley. I p ro b a b ly d o n 't n eed to te ll you about this one, since the X craze has been around for a couple o f years. People tend to have strong opinions on M a lc o lm b u t m an y see m to understand neither the man behind the b a se b a ll cap s nor the ev o lv e- m ent of h is view s. Read the book and make up your own mind. I have devised this list of 10 books I think you might try to look into. I emphasize this list con­ stitutes nothing more than personal favorites. early '70s, T hom pson (fou nd er of the Gonzo school of journalism and m o d el for the ch a ra cte r of U ncle Duke in Doonesbury) was assigned to cover a la w y er's co n v en tion in V egas. As is his p ractice, he took along a d rugstore's w orth of illicit pharmaceuticals and ended up with a looped-out account of his personal travails. A scream ingly funny look at one m an's battle against halluci­ natory bats. 4. M aus, v o lu m es I & II — Art Spiegelman. A cartoon examination of the Holocaust, Maus presents the sto ry o f V la d e k S p ie g e lm a n , the a u th o r's fath er and a su rv iv o r of Auschw itz and Dachau. The books work on a subtler level than many H olocaust accounts, due m ainly to S p ie g e lm a n 's b r illia n t tro p e of d ra w in g th e Je w s as m ic e , the G e rm a n s as c a ts, A m e r ic a n s as dogs, etc., w hich reveals the univer­ sality of the horror. M aus is also a to u ch in g ex a m in a tio n of th e to r­ tured relation sh ip betw een father and son. Pick this book up and you w on't be able to put it down. 5. L o v e is a D og F rom H ell — C h a r le s B u k o w sk i. M o st p e o p le know Bukow ski, the p rototyp e of th e m o d e rn p o e t /d r u n k , from M ickey R ourke's thinly veiled por­ trayal of him in Barfly. Love is a Dog is o n e o f h is b e tte r c o lle c tio n s , m in ia tu re sk etch es o f life on the skids of art, women, booze and that certain strange feeling we call life. 6. N a k ed L u n ch — W illia m S. B u rrou g hs. A nother sem inal Beat w ork, N aked Lunch is a non-linear, hallucinatory and often gross series of sketches inspired by the author's heroin experiences. The book works as a darkly funny look at the aspects of control in society today. It is a bit hard to get through, but stick with it and d on't expect a plot. H ill and D oug W ein g rad . B efore th e re w as W a y n e 's W o rld , th ere w ere the not-ready-for-prim e-tim e players. Hill and Weingrad explore the first 10 years or so of Saturday N ight L iv e, presenting the strange personalities involved in the show's glory years as well as all the good dope about backstage life. O ne of the best-written books about the TV industry and also a real page-tumer. 8. The Lover — M arguerite Duras. A n a u to b io g ra p h ic a l a c c o u n t of D u ra s ' p re -W W II In d o ch in a, The L over cen ters on a torrid affair betw een a 15-year-old girl and her Chinese objet d'amour. The bo o k is notable for its sparse sty le and su b lim e e ro tic ism . But Duras, w ith minimal brushstrokes, m anages to recreate the decadent glamour of the time in the reader's head . Soon to be a m ajo r m otion picture. y o u th in 9. W orking — Studs Terkel. The undisputed master of oral history's best-know n book, Working looks at how A m e ric a n s fe e l a b o u t th e ir work through interviews of average w orking stiffs around the country. The picture is not usually pretty, but it is g r ittily re a l and q u ite co m ­ pelling. Though published nearly 20 years ago, the book is still relevant in the light of today's political scene. 10. U .S.A . — Jo h n D os P asso s. A ctu a lly three b ooks — The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money — U.S.A. takes a look at America in the first 20 years of this century through the eyes of a dozen or so interwoven ch aracters. D os P assos show s the everyday base hum an em otions — greed, boredom, jealousy, etc. — as the country sees itself building up to World W ar I, going through it, and su rv iv in g in th e o rg y o f m o n ey ­ making afterwards.

Each type has its strong and w eak points, b u t psychologists say it's best to be type three: M ake a plan, b u t stay open to new developm ents. The key to developing such a plan is to figure out w h y y o u 're here. If it's to gain em ploym ent skills, y o u 'd be w ise to w ork as m uch as you can w hile y o u 're in school.

C a rp e n te r said as m ore ap p o in tm en ts open up during the day, more people come to those appointments. "In October, w e're going to survey the students and evaluate their perceptions on the new change in hours and evaluate the Student Health Center's image," she says.

"They did extensive research before the change and found what was most beneficial to students," he said. "As long as these changes are promoted to all students, that's great." Nirken said the diversion of staff to create more appointm ents was a good example of utilization. "That should be a prime goal for all work at UT — this is an example of how it could work." Carpenter said the Student Health Center is accredited by the Joint C om m ittee on H ealth Care O rganizations and currently em ploys 18 p ra ctitio n ers and five n u rse practitioners. W irag said the orthopedic clinic, which handles broken bones and strains, w ould provide three more hours óf care at no addi­ tional student cost. "T h e changes w ill not take aw ay any coverage," he said. Christy Fleming New Students Edition Staff The S tu d en t H ealth C enter is offering shorter hours during the fall semester while in cre asin g a fte rn o o n a p p o in tm e n t slots w ithout costing students extra. After an Aug. 2Í reopening, center hours are 7 a.m.-8 p.m. M onday through Friday, changing from an 11 p.m. closing time. N a n c y V an V essem , in te rim m ed ica l d ire c to r for the S tu d e n t H ealth C en ter, studied the num ber of people using the cen­ ter at rught and the nature of their illnesses. "Betw een 8 and 11, we had few people who w ere getting injured directly before they came to the center," Van Vessem said. "They could have come in earlier in the day for treatment. We asked ourselves, 'Are we spending the student's money wisely?' We p olled stu d e n ts w ho use the cen ter and fo u n d 70 p e rc e n t sa id w e n e e d m o re appointm ents during the week." The doctors w ho w o u ld have w orked those night hours are now diverted to help­ ing students in day appointm ents. About 100 more appointments will be available for students during the day. Jeanne Carpenter, assistant to the director of the Student Health Center, said the sys­ tem w o rk s b est w h e n s tu d e n ts m ake a p p o in tm en ts ra th e r th an w alk in. "W e encourage all students to call ahead for an appointm ent because it saves the students more tim e," she said. "W hen you walk in, the time in which you are seen depends on the am ount of people in the waiting room. Most students w ho have an appointm ent g et in w ith in 10 or 15 m in u te s of th eir scheduled appointm ent." J.

Ola Bell, quality im provem ent coordina­ tor for the Student Health Center, said the changes will not affect the the 24-hour nurse line. "If the stu d en ts are in doubt about symptoms they have, they can talk to some­ one who can help them make decisions." Student Health Center medical technician C a rp e n te r also re m in d s fre sh m e n to return medical history forms quickly to pre­ vent bars on their spring registration. "The bar m ust be taken care of before registration for spring semester in October. If you wait Angelique Shoemaker examines a test specimen from a student. until the last second for vaccinations, you m ay lose your window." Carpenter reminds students that medical records are confidential and can only be released if students sign a blanket release form to their insurance companies. Also, Carpenter said students can request male or female doctors, and even a doctor they've seen before. "That is good for conti­ nuity," she said. Edition Staff between 1712-1726. Let's say you don't need to worry about finding a job when you grad­ u a te . You h av e a tr u s t fu n d or you 're going to join your parents' company. Then just major in w hat­ ever you like. But how to decide? The following will help job-hunters and job-havers alike. Get to know yourself. If your cur­ re n t in te re s ts h o v e r so m ew h e re b e tw e e n c lo th e s s h o p p in g an d sp o rts, and y o u 'v e placed o u t of fresh m an E ng lish an d m ath , it's tim e to ask for help from another quarter to decide w hat to take your freshm an year. Some of the Daily Texan sta ff m em b ers h a v e som e pointed advice for you. ■ Method 1: (For careerists) Go to the career center in Jester Hall. Fill out all the forms, w ait for a coun­ selor, and get some advice after you take all the tests. Read the informa­ tion in b in d e rs , and look at the career descriptions. Go to the library and look up companies in Standard & P o o r's d ire c to ry . W rite so m e friendly letters to heads of dep art­ m ents and ask for an inform ation interv iew by ph one o r in person. Ask those people their major. ■ M ethod 2: (For exp erim ental­ ists) Read course descriptions in the school catalogs. Visit departm ents that interest you. Ask the secretary for an appointm ent with an adviser. It may take a while, but be patient. ■ Method 3: (Highly recommend­ ed) If y o u 're interested in a class, take it pass/fail, or take the plunge and see how you do for a grade. Lots of people have found m ajors this way. Take a class in something you've been interested in for a long time, even if it sounds too hard or too easy. This may work right away: "I took a photography class as an elective and enjoyed the w ork and did well. Before, I was undecided," says Texan associate m anaging edi­ tor Kristine Wolff. Or it m ay take two or more tries: "At first, electri­ cal en g in e e rin g a p p e a le d to m e. it lo o k e d T hen real b o rin g . Computer science seemed very ver­ satile ... but so far it's been real bor­ in g ," says p a rt-tim e Texan new s reporter Dennis Pu. ■ M ethod 4: W hile " sh o p p in g " for a major, take note of w hat peo­ ple in different majors are like. Do you feel comfortable with them? Do you admire their style? Go to some "h a p p y h o u rs " w ith them , invite yourself on som e outings, and in general try to blend in, just to see if you can. ■ M eth o d 5: G rill frie n d s a n d u p p e rc la s s m e n a b o u t h o w th e y chose th eir m ajors. " W h a t's y o u r major?" becomes the equivalent of "H ow are you?" in first few weeks of college. You'll soon grow tired of calling yourself "undeclared." W hichever m ethod you choose, re m e m b e r th a t y o u r m ajo r w ill brand you for at least four years of your life and on into the w orking w orld. People will insist th at you explain why you chose such a bor­ ing/im practical/difficult major. But keep in mind that your major does not determ ine w hat you will do in life fo rev erm o re. P eople ch an g e careers the way they used to trade in cars. The im p o rtan t thing is to prepare by working during school, w hile stu d y in g subjects th at give you a charge. Is this your idea of participating in a drug study? '®51iasa G uinea p ig eu s H u m an is We know th a t the idea of p a rtic ip a tin g in a d ru g stu d y can be in tim id atin g . Im ages of h u m a n g u in ea pigs, m ad scien tists and scenes from g rad e B science fiction film s m ay come to m ind. F ortunately, the real p ic tu re of d ru g re s e a rc h is q u ite a bit different, and w e’d like to give you an idea of w hat th a t p ictu re looks like. W elcome to D rug R e se a rc h 101. What is Pharm aco? Pharmaco is a pharmaceutical research firm based in Austin. We conduct evaluations of newly-developed medications, collecting data on a product's effectiveness and safety for presentation to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We have ongoing studies for healthy, non-smoking males as well as for people with physical conditions requiring treatment, such as athlete's foot. Safety First All of the studies we do here at Pharmaco are first reviewed by an independent board of doctors, nurses, pharmacologists, lawyers, and clergymen. This group must find that the rights and welfare of participants will be adequately protected, and that their health will not be endangered. Pharmaco's own staff of physicians, pharmacologists, nurses and other research professionals closely monitor study participants during their stay in our facility, and are always available to patients should they require any follow-up. Just like hom e. Well, almost... The evaluations we do that require healthy, non-smoking men are called Phase I studies. For these, participants check into our modern dormitory-style facility for overnight stays ranging from periods of 36 hours to one month. All of our participants are paid, with the financial compensation averaging $150 for each 48 hour stay. During their stay here, volunteers can entertain themselves playing pool, horse shoes, video games or watching a movie from our video library, Since many of our participants are students, our large study lounge gets a lot of use. Meals, housing, and activities are always provided free-of-charge to participants. You might say it's just like home. Well, almost. It’s a no bill situation. Pharmaco also has an in-house clinic to treat people with physical or emotional conditions. We have ongoing studies evaluating new medications in a variety of therapeutic areas such as high blood pressure, athlete's foot, women's healthcare, anxiety and depression. Before we can enroll you in a trial, one of our staff doctors, physician assistants or nurses will give you a free, thorough examination to determine if you meet the study criteria. As a research participant you will receive medical consultation--all at no charge. And, upon completion of a study, you will be paid a financial incentive for your involvement. ¿© ? And last, but certainly not least... In addition to the free medical care and financial compensation you receive when you participate in a research study, you can feel good about the contribution you are making to the advancement of medical science. This is what w e look like. Pharmaco is located in south Austin, just off of Ben White Blvd. at 706 Banister Lane. Do you like getting mail?

This piece is for them and anyone else interested in their plight. Though you may undergo many of the same problems as freshmen a n d /o r new grad u ate stu d en ts (some of each), there is a unique set of difficulties only transfer students will be faced with. Indeed, the major difficulties have to do with these very credit hours There is a unique set of difficulties only transfer students will be faced with. which gave you advanced standing upon entering the University. The courses you took at your for­ mer institution of study were either electives or courses geared to the requirements of that college. Your UT major may not require these, or it may require similar courses in a slightly different form. Thus, the first major problem you encounter is that of inexact translation. The required introductory econom ics cou rse, the b ooks of w hich you slaved over ju st to pass, g ets changed to a seem in g ly u se le s s ' "ECO 4 HRS." All is not lost, however. Chances are, you may still be able to earn credit for this course, although it will probably require some extra. For starters, you can subm it a description of the course from your old school's catalog to the UT Office of Admissions, with explanation for re-evaluation. If this works, then you've just saved yourself about a hundred dollars and 45 hours of lec­ ture. If d oesn 't, there are still other avenues for you to explore. The next stop on your course credit journey should be an adviser from your col­ lege or department, depending on whichever is appropriate for your classification and major.

As long as you pass the test, vou should receive credit. You have to complete an extra form or two, but nothing complicated. Despite all of these options, some people (especially those of you who quickly forgot what you've learned) m ay still be looking for a w ay to avoid re p e a tin g th is class a t the University. Luckily, o u r p o rtio n of C entral Texas has one of the best com m un1- ty colleges in the country — Austin C o m m u n ity C o lleg e, p o p u la rly know as ACC. ACC has c a m p u s e s sc a tte re d th ro u g h o u t A u stin an d th e s u r ­ rou n d in g com m unities, including the Rio Grande campus, which can be easily reached by the 'Dillo shut­ tle from the UT campus. The good thing about ACC is that it has courses to fit almost anyone's time schedule. Courses are offered both day and night and on a non- traditional basis. "N on-traditional" generally m eans self-paced, possi­ bly w ith the aid of instructional tele­ vision. Thus, you can arrange your ACC schedule around more strin­ g en t UT co u rse tim es. A lso, the smaller class sizes at ACC can be a w elcom e relief from au d ito riu m - based instruction at the University. In additio n to m aking sure you get your fair share of course credit, as a transfer student, you will have to ad ju st to UT b u re au cracy and concomitant lines.

There are a few tricks, however, to avoid sp en d in g y o u r first few w eeks in A u stin just sta n d in g in line. For starters, p u t off as m any a d m in is tra tiv e tasks as p o ssib le u n til a fte r the sem ester is a few weeks old. For example, many stu­ dents, especially freshmen, want to get their UT IDs the very first day -they are here. To do th is, th o u g h , y o u m u s t stand in line for one, m aybe even two hours. Chances are, you w on't even need the ID for the first week or two. The libraries, for example, accept paid fee receipts in lieu of IDs d u rin g the b e g in n in g of the sem ester. A fter the rush has died out, you can go to G regory Gym and get your ID in a m atter of min­ utes. And. this is just one example of a tim e -sa v in g trick A n o th e r would be to put off all non-essential financial aid business until the rush on these offices has slow ed just a bit.

Transfer students need to get involved as m uch as possible. Since, u nlike freshm en, tran sfers generally d o n 't have friends from high school or dorm m ates to hang around with, student groups are a good way to meet people.

Well, just slumming around and waiting for things to happen to you w on't cut it at a university w ith a total enrollment of 48,000. You'll find out soon enough that the only one to push and prod you along is yourself. Aside from all of that, there's no better time like the present to get your body into the Hulk Hogan shape you know it can be in. Here at the University of Texas, we pride ourselves on being big on athletics — and not just NCAA sports, either. This is a place where even a person as lazy as myself can actually be intimidated into putting some of the athletic facilities to use. Everywhere you turn there is a reminder of how flabby you are. Why, just the other day, I w as innocently m oseying up 23rd Street to go to my class, when in trepidation my eyes were accosted with the massive monolith of what us Horns call Memorial Stadium. In just the wee hours of the morning (8 a.m. is w ee enough for me), I could hear the pounding feet of those dedicated joggers. Sweating and pulsating, never giving up until the glorious accomplishment of an eight-minute mile was theirs at last. Baffled by the idea of moving at a pace faster than a walk, I sped up my lagging walk to a steady walk. I had. to escape the panting of exhausted runners, but I didn't know w here to go. So, in desperation I sought shelter in a shanty situated at San Jacinto and 20th. Lifting my eyes to what I was sure was the solitude of a library, I was greeted by stu d en ts bouncing basketballs, w om en wearing kneepads, bulky men (who obvi­ o u sly exceed ed the Food and Drug Administration limits for testosterone) and racquetball players. I couldn't believe that people would actually partake in any physi­ cal exertion before taking a shower, but was soon relieved when I saw the locker and shower facilities available at the Recreatioq Center. I quickly made my way to the nearest exit, passing six volleyball courts, 10 rac­ quetball courts, a weight room, martial arts room and dance rooms along the way. Back out on 21st, heading east, I again moved my pace up to what I consider a gait that could compete with any mallwalker. I didn't want to think exercise, look at (or smell) perspira-- tion or pay attention to my triceps as they swayed gently in the wind. In my naivete, I thought it would be a good idea to get my mind off my present condition by getting my student ID validat­ e d . So I vam oosed on into Gregory Gym. After I convinced the student guard that I couldn't show him a validated ID until he let me find my way to have it validated, I began the long search for the ID Center. I saw During m y seven trip, basketball/volleyball courts, 13 handball/ racquetball courts, two squash courts, a princess stranded in a tower, a 25-yard swim m ing pool, a gym nastics room and w eig h t training room s. Finally, after I jumped over the moat and killed the drag­ on, I found the ID Center and was success­ fully validated. Back out in the sunshine, I was dismayed to discover I w ould be late for class if I didn't move my steady walk up to a jog. I hung a right at Speedway and walked a full three blocks in under five minutes, due to my new-found energy. Delirious from my first adrenaline rush, I hopelessly wandered into Anna Hiss Gymnasium. Feeling complete and utter defeat from my exposure to people who actively take a part in fitness, I began mulling over that cliché "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Just r- Eric Baldauf/T Ex er c i s e c l a s s e s are am ong the m yriad o p p o rtu n itie s to in cre a se or m aintain p h y sica l fitn e ss at the U n iversity. , . . my luck to be in such convincing surround­ ings at the m oment of weakness. After see­ ing the 74-foot sw im m ing pool, archery range, basketball gyms and outdoor court­ yard, my every urge to be Untoned Woman went meekly crawling out the door. W ith fa c ilitie s a t all c o rn e rs of the University, not to mention L. Theo Bellmont H a ll, C la rk F ield, W h ita k e r Field and Penick-Allison Tennis Center and the Texas Swimming Center, there is no way a flimsy excuse like "The gym is soooo far aw ay" will cut the mustard. The hours are compat­ ible for even the busiest students' schedules, so forget about using "I didn't have time to go to the gym." Exercise is fun, good for you and, thanks to your school, easy to fit into your life. Your added bonus is, there's no time like the s ta rt of a new acad em ic sessio n to improve your physique. Turn over a new leaf. You'll be here ... the gyms'll be here ... you might as well get to know each other. Kindred souls meet in Texas-Siberian student exchange program Jo se Alaniz New Students Edition Staff Author's Note: All nam es have been changed to protect the guilty. A rkady sat across from me on A ndrea's noisy living room floor. Legs and bodies ambled by, hands with beer bottles flailing. The music was loud, the party w as swing­ ing, people carried on. The strin g s of an acoustic guitar wafted over from dow n the h a ll, w h e re a s e p a ra te g ro u p re v e le d so lem n ly in R ussian folk m elo d ies. But Arkady and I paid little attention to any of it — we were grappling, in the heat of battle. My brow knitted in concentration, I final­ ly leaned forward and threatened Arkady's queen. "Chort!" he grunted, shooting out spittle along w ith the curse. I'd screwed u p some plan of his. It w as our fourth chess game, soon to be his fourth loss. With each game he played worse, as the alcohol hit him. "T heez eez berry g u ud beer, I like eet b erry m u ch ," he k e p t saying, lifting the Miller Lite to his lips for another long swig. I told him in Russian to take it easy; he was p u ttin g th e s tu ff a w a y like w a te r, an d A rkady's not exactly the husky, masculine tough-guy type. But he assured me in his slurred syllables he was fine. He moved his queen right into my trap and I took her. "C hort bozm i!" cam e the sw ear words, right on cue. Despite his penchant for drink (almost a requirem ent in his culture), Arkady and I had lots in common. I discovered early on that he was a kindred soul, a brother. We both preferred chess to dancing, w e'd both rather converse quietly one-on-one than yell fluff in a herd. We both had dirty minds. It was like th ey'd to m us apart at birth and flung us to opposite sides of the globe. The Irk u tsk s tu d e n ts h ad been here a week. I was exhausted. Field trips, lectures, m useum tours, p ar­ ties — w e 'd been ru n p re tty rag g ed . It d id n 't even feel like I was a student any­ more; school was something far distant. We were giving up two weeks of our academic year, not to m ention all the hours spent soliciting funds all sem ester, m eeting to plan and schedule, approaching businesses for freebies, cutting deals, sending endless telexes, selling T-shirts, and generally inter­ rupting our own lives—all for these people. These wonderful, beautiful people. At the beginning of the year we were still the Texas Soviet Student Exchange Council, organizing its fifth annual exchange w ith the students of Irkutsk University in Siberia. They'd host us during spring break in their country and then w e'd host them here. But in D ecem ber the Soviet U nion ceased to exist, and that posed a slight problem. The demise of communism and the subsequent fledgling market reforms threw the Russian economy for a loop. In January we got the news: they couldn't afford to host us. The exchange was off. And then, just as suddenly, it was back on again. If we couldn't bring Buddha to the mountain, then we'd bring the m ountain to Buddha. It would be half an exchange—bet­ ter than none at all. We'd bring them here, w e'd pay for everything, we'd give them a whirlwind tour, show them the time of their lives. We w e re now the Texas S iberian Exchange Council. A nd we did. We drew blood from the stone. We got them here. Almost from the beginning we hit it off with all of them. Oskar of the goofy smile and hilarious rendition of Goodbye America. Elena, the pretty blonde who played piano so beautifully. Sergei, the charm er pretty boy. Svetlana, the shy, frizzy blonde with cover girl looks. Andrei, who just w ants a job his country can't pay him well for. Ivan, the in te lle c tu a l cynic. The c h a p e ro n e Elizaveta, a philologist with a weakness for fu rry p ets. The o th e r c h a p e ro n e L ara, strong-willed and hopeful for her children's future back home. And Arkady. Hoped for a job in interna­ tional business. Begged me to take his pic­ ture behind the wheel of M eredith's car. Asked me question after question about life here in America. Answered the questions of American students, with me merrily trans­ lating. Taught me dirty Russian words. A rkady sm iled at me through his thick glasses and started setting up the board. "Another game?" he asked. "I don't know," I said, baiting him. "We'll play for this," he replied, and pro­ duced a real, honest-to-goodness Soviet condom. The brand was "Flirt." A guy after m y own heart. "Sure. Another game," I said.

Everything in the world is marketed to you or through you, from Beastie Boys CDs to BMWs. All that is need­ ed is some of that long green, ducats, folding m oney— cash. Ay, therein lies the rub. For most college stu­ dents, this coming four years will constitute the hard years back upon which they will reflect for their grandchildren. So, how to bridge the gap between financial insolvency and glorious excess? Credit cards, of course. Now, you need not fret the possibility of missing out on the free-for-all of unchecked con­ sumerism. 'How do I get one?" you might ask. "I don't even have a job." No problem. "Do my parents have to co-sign?" Nope. "Surely there is a catch. How much do I have to pay each month?" Only $20. Most credit cards will even start you out with a $500 limit. A lot of money, right? You would never be so irresponsible as to let yourself get in to that much debt. Sure, it's only $20 per month. For 20 bucks a month, you can keep up with the latest in music. "I'd like the new Jimmy Jo Hiphop. Oh, and do you take Y'isa?" But look. See here. If you only pay the minimum payment, prettv soon the only song you'll be hearing is Take It To the Limit. Perhaps you and a friend go to dinner at some tres hip Austin eatery (if you find one, let me know), and the place won't take checks. Your pal only has a checkbook, so you offer to pay the bill with your credit card.

You are one step closer to that $500 ceiling that seemed so high when you tore open that plainly marked envelope which held your shiny new plastic. And don't forget the interest. If you start buying drinks with your card while out on the town, you'll soon learn the true mean­ ing of impulse purchasing. When the blood alco­ hol level hits .10 percent, common sense and fis­ cal prudence go out the window. Avoid the whole scene. Credit card companies give people like you cards because they are rea­ sonably sure your parents will pay off your bill when you hit bottom. It's a sneaky way to make your parents unofficial co-signers. Meanwhile, your credit rating is ruined, and annoying people will start making calls asking for money. It's not worth it. If you really want something, save up for it. If you can't discipline yourself to do that, then you really don't have the responsi­ bility to have a credit card anyway.

Eric Baldauf/New Students Edition Staff you: book stores, burger shacks, clothing stores, record stores and TV channels, among others, includ­ ing those mentioned above. Never mind including them here by name; part of the fun is finding the out-of- the-way places on your own. A side from some ad m itte d ly vague thrill you'll get from scoping and sam pling these alternatives, there are some legitimate reasons for doing so. For one, you'll often find that the bigger businesses charge you more. Maybe it's to cover the overhead of being part of a chain. Or perhaps it's because they doubt you'll be ad v en tu ro u s enough to go else­ where. Don't cave in to either rea­ son. But, d o n 't be m isled into believing that you'll always find lower prices at smaller stores, which Please see Chains, page F7 Swinging: Hondo and Carne explain it all for you Hondo Ghassani and Carne Swanko New Students Edition Staff I sw in g, therefore I am. Rene Descartes, who moved and swung so successfully in tight slacks We swing. We are swingers. We come from long lines of swingers. Our fathers swung. Their fathers before them swung. And their fathers, though they were mostly mullahs and priests, swung as well. We encourage you to swing — there's plenty to go around — but we also recognize from the experience of our friends (not ourselves, of course) that your UT swinging career can get off to a shaky start if you are unprepared. Although 25,000 luscious babes might seem enticing, keep in m ind they all come from d ifferent back­ grounds and are all heading in different direc­ tions.

Moving tons of stuff into the dorm, although a back-breaking task, doesn't have to be completely unrewarding. Once your room is in shape, peck Mom on the cheek, double-pum p Dad s hand, and bid them adieu; you've got sw inging to do. Simply stride on over to the w om en's dorm s and offer your braw n to the most appealing bidder. Women almost always bring more junk to col­ lege than guys, and all you have to do to get in good with the girls — and their mothers — from the get-go is offer to haul a few loads upstairs. Do not, how ever, expect this to w ork w ith the fathers, who undoubtedly tried the same scam 30 years ago, and know exactly what you're up to. Day Two. So, you've settled in. It's time to examine your new surroundings — to prowl, if you will, for suitable prey. Much like voursélf, the other dorm dwellers are new here, are away from home for the first time, and d o n 't have many friends. Therefore, scrumptious specimens of the oppo­ site gender are much more approachable and more susceptible to random conversation than they will be at any? time for the next four years. Take advantage of this; swing. Start on the top floor of Jester (East or West, it matters not) and work your way down. Wander about the halls looking lost or for people who look lost (that way you can either ask for help or offer it). This approach also works in packs, if you have a num­ ber of like-minded buddies who are no better- looking than you. Day Three.

Chris Barton New Students Edition Staff We all have our old faithfuls, our security blankets, our touch o' the familiar we take with us to a new city — or rather, that exist in every city, no matter where we go. Austin is no exception. These comforts come in the forms of grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters or anything else owned by a big chain. You know to expect from them some degree of quality, and what's more, they bring you the security of feeling like you're right back home. Get over it. While the AppleTrees and Block­ busters and Olive Gardens of the world have their place, they also have an overw helm ing sense of homogeneity — an aisle 12 is a com­ edy shelf is a breadstick, if you will. But look hard enough, and you'll also discover that each has one or more unique substitutes right here in Austin. Granted, these smaller, less estab­ lished joints may not have the name recognition, or the product selec­ tion, or the safely generic decor of the big chain outlets. But visiting them at least every once is a while will some day spare you the sheep­ ish regret that, in your commercial dealings while in college, you never explored beyond the comfortable and known. You'll find these chains — and their hipper substitutes — in just about any category that interests We won't tell. We'll keep it our little secret.

It takes only one musical m is ste p — say , a G a rth B rooks album, or any post-Roth Van Halen TP — to rot w hatever hipness you might manage to cultivate. If you're tem pted to prevent this by ra id in g th e Po-M o bin a t th e nearest Recordland, beware: 90 per­ cent of w hat passes for "college" music these days is geared for high- schoolers who just think they'll w ant to listen to this stuff for the next four years, so settling for "alterna­ tive" just w on't do. It takes am ple time and thought to amass a LT-worthy compact disc library, and even then, no collection is ever quite as com plete as you'd like it to be. However, a number of m a in s ta y s can be fo u n d on a n y re s p e c ta b le CD sh elf, from fra t house to condo, from co-op to dorm. Armed with the essentials, you'll fit in ju st fine. A n d y o u r frie n d s, whether they have the same CDs or ju st w ish they d id , w ill ap p raise y o u r asso rtm en t w ith one sim ple word: "cool." First, the specifics: 1. Bob Marley and the Waiters, Legend. Everybody has this. For a reggae primer, you w on't find a bet­ ter album than Legend, which also sets the standard for all greatest-hits alb u m s shy of a box set. Breezy, easy, danceable and spiritual, this CD provides a perfect soundtrack for big parties or for more intimate get-togethers. 2. T he R o llin g S to n e s, S t i c k y Fingers. A m u st fo r th e m an ic- d e p re ssiv e fresh m an year, Sticky Fingers will lift you up or bring you It takes only one musical m isstep to rot whatever hipness you might man­ age to cultivate. dow n, d e p e n d in g on w hich w ay y o u w a n t to go. A nd like m o st Stones records from the period, this is a d rin k in g re co rd for all occa­ sions, w hether alone or w ith your comrades, as either a complement to or substitute for passing the bottle. 3. Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique. This, the B-Boys' second album, was far better than Licensed to III and, m any say, superior to their new one, Check V our Head. Chock full of elab­ orate samples and wordplay, Paul's Boutique w as a m a ste rp ie c e th a t flopped. O w ning it sugg ests you were paying attention when nobody else w as — even if y ou w e re n 't either. 4. The B eatles, R ubber Soul. R ecorded on the brink of the Fab Four's psychedelic phase, this one will show your appreciation of the g re a te s t p o p b a n d ev er w ith o u t being as obvious as if you ow ned only Sgt. Pepper. As a bonus, the dis­ torted cover photo gives you a good idea of how your w orld will look before too long. 5. P u blic E nem y, I t Takes A N a t io n O f M i l l io n s To H old Us Back. A toss-up w ith their Fear of a Black Planet, actually, but this one gets the nod. Rawer than its success- sors, it established the foothold for rap among black and white college students, and it d id n 't rely on Spike Lee or MTV to do it. 6. Neil Young, Ragged Glory. The noise of N irvana, Dinosaur Jr. and My B loody V a le n tin e is n o th in g new for this haggard Canadian. He m ig h t n o t h av e the fuzzback sound, but he's been doing it longer — nearly 25 years — than in v e n te d anybody else, and Ragged Glory, his most recent studio album, showed he still does it better. And now, to offer a little leeway: 7. Cool country. S ure, boot- s c o o tin ' tu n e s are th e la te s t big thing, but the sun don 't rise and set on Billy Ray Cyrus. Lyle Lovett, k.d. lang and Dwight Yoakam stand out from the platinum -selling ranks of twang-alikes and add balance to an otherwise rock- or rap-heavy collec­ tion. Seeing as how he's from Texas and plays here fairly often, Lovett has the edge over the others, but only by a hair. 8. O ld stuff. Real old stuff, like Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holliday or the Platters. In addition to the quality of their music itself, any one of these classy acts makes for a highfalutin' novelty, especially on a shelf full of Soundgarden and Siouxsie Sioux. Besides, this music has ro m a n tic p o te n tia l u p the wazoo; folks have been doin' it to it for years, so why shouldn't you? 9. 1980s cheese. You know , the sort of thing you listened to in ele­ m entary school or junior high but now keep tucked aw ay in sham e because it's no longer "hip." Well, screw the c o u n te r c u ltu ra l elite. B ra n d ish y o u r J o u rn e y , y o u r Wham!, your Men W ithout Hats as a b ad g e of honor. It's good for a laugh, if nothing else, and come on — th a t stuff w a sn 't really so bad, was it? 10. Austin music. By now you've probably heard whispers about the m usic scene here, so act like you know something about it. Learn this place one album at a time, even if you don't know Roky Erickson from Joe Rockhead. From Antone's blues to jangle pop to renegade country, there's bound to be plenty here that appeals to you — and, more im por­ tant, would look cool alongside the rest of your collection. .1 7 1 0 ( R WM-OKI) ■/. si. iii ;{5iii w A CELEBRATION OF A SPECIAL BANANA SPLIT $1.69 TCBV BE AN UPTOWN PEPPER 151 l ( HY Class up your act when you move uptown to the Uptown Enchilada Bar.

Disturbing view of artifi­ cial intelligence. Brazil. Has a pile of characters and social comment. Between life and death, chivalry' and the Dead Ages. Casablanca. Everyone has to see this.

Its version of karma will keep you shivering. Doctor Zhivago. Also: Lawrence o f Arabia. Three to four hours of great film by David Lean. Try to view it on a large screen. Great for roman­ tics and dates. Field o f Dreams. Kevin C ostner and his baseball flicks can appeal even to a non-fan. Bull Durham with Susan Sarandon also needs investi­ gation. The Fisher King. The Holy Grail influence of Terry Gilliam is strong. Also a good comment on relation­ ships and mindsets. You see more in each view'ing. H ighlander. You m ust see this three or four times to understand. It's very 1985, but Sean Connery's perform an ce is tim eless. Being immortal does have its drawbacks. The G od fath er, Parts I and II. Friends and lots of linguine work well with this. Keep an open mind. Part three doesn't quite have the same effect. Love Story. Be prepared to cry. A story of love that was ahead of its time. Again, keep an open mind. Miller's Crossing and GoodFellas. Not quite the same as The Godfather, but interesting for comparison. My Own P riv ate Idaho. Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. Explores a few of those topics you never see in a John Hughes film. Pink Flamingos. Any John Waters or Divine film must be seen. Very non-traditional. Raising Arizona. Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter. Quite a weird but funny treat. R evenge o f the N erds. A nthony Edwards got his start as a nerd! He wras smart enough to stay out of the second one. Nerds is highly enjoy­ able through all the jock and nerd stereotypes. The " I 'm a n e rd " speech is cute. Risky Business. Tom Cruise gets advice to live a little. Does pretty well for making money', command­ ing a U-boat and getting out of con­ flict with Guido the Killer Pimp. School Daze and She's Gotta Have It. The Early Spike Lee Films were more than enjoyable. He had some major MGM influence through his song and dance numbers. sex, lies, and videotape. James Spad­ er sheds bad boy image and Andie McDowell gets to use her natural voice to explore the cheatin' mar­ ried life. Lots of subtle sex symbol­ ism that might be missed the first time. Stranger than Paradise. Just as the title says, although Paradise is a town in Honda. Taxi Driver. Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster star in this disturbing story. This is the film that John Hinckley Jr. says led him to shoot President Reagan. Spinal Tap. This and The Princess Bride are classic Rob Reiner funny stuff.

Amazing as this fact is, do not be lulled into believing that the ignorance of the "young per­ so n " is irreversible. Indeed, with a substantial amount of study and application, a first-year stu­ dent can acquire the skills necessary to be profi­ cient in any of the aforementioned disciplines. As much fun as it would be to have an engag­ ing, comprehensive discussion of the above top­ ics here in this forum, I must, in the interests of brevity and decency, limit myself to a dissemina­ tion on the base of sports knowledge that every Longhorn must be familiar with. The U niversity, which was officially estab­ lished in September 1883, went its first ten years without organized sports of any kind. It was not unusual to see groups of students engaged in informal games of baseball, but little is known about these progenitors of our current Franken- stein-like athletic department. FOOTBALL Organized athletics at Texas form ally came into being in 1893 when two Texas brothers, Paul and Ray McLane, and a Virginian, James Morri­ son, enrolled at the University and soon there­ after formed the UT football team with the help of Albert Lefevre. Lefevre, who was the secre- tary-treasurer of the newly formed UT Athletic Association, assumed the job of team manager, while Paul McLane served as the team coach. They practiced daily at 4:30 p.m. near what is now the Experim ental Science Building. Paul McLane, being the only member of the 12-man squad with even a rudimentary knowledge of the game, drilled the other players in the crude tech­ niques of football. The team's efforts paid off on Nov. 11 before a crowd of 700 Austinites when the UT football team played an exhibition game against a second team comprising non-students and members of the Austin Athletic Club. The game was under way for only a short time when it was delayed for half an hour while a player rode his horse into town to get a new football to replace the first one, which was deflated in the opening quarter. The outcome of the game is in question, as the UT literary magazine reported the score as a 6-6 tie, while the Austin Daily Statesman declared the UT team a 10-2 winner. Regardless, this is the first documented, organized sporting event in University of Texas lore. Later that same month, on Thanksgiving Day, the UT football team played its first official colle­ giate game, besting the undefeated Dallas Uni­ versity club 18-16 in Dallas. The hero of the game was Addison " A d " Day, who scored a touch­ down and kicked three extra points. Texas went on to win all four games it played in its inaugural season. BA SEBA LL Texas' other great sporting tradition got its start just two years later, when a group of stu­ dent athletes, including a num ber of football players, were organized by J.A. O'Keefe into the UT baseball club. Baseball had been played in the fields of the University since its founding, but 1895 saw the first official incarnation of the sport at U T . The club did not play its first official game against a non-university opponent, however, until 1897, when it competed against a number of local ball clubs. The record that first season was 6-5. THE COACHES Texas athletics has a list of great coaches longer than the lines at the fee bill office. Folks, when it comes to UT heroes, I've got two words for you — Darrell Royal. If you d on 't know about the man and his accomplishments, go check out a book and read all about him. Notre Dame had Knute Rockne, Alabama had Bear Bryant, George Bush had H. Norman Schw arzkopf and Texas had Darrell (that's Mr. to you) Royal. Royal coached Texas for 20 years, winning our only national championships in 1963, 1969 and 1970. He also won 11 Southw est C onference crowns, as well as irrevocably changing football as we know it with the implementation of the wishbone offense, which was created by one of his assistants, Emory Bellard.

A form er U niversity of N eb rask a coach, Bible led Texas football from the long dark age of the Depression to three SWC titles and a num ber of great teams. In its first 15 years, Texas baseball had eight coaches. In the 79 years since, UT has had only four coaches, three of whom are enshrined in the College Baseball C oaches H all of Fame: Billy Disch, Bibb Falk and Cliff Gustafson. Uncle Billy" coached Texas for 29 years (1911-1939), guiding Texas to 513 wins and a .740 winning per­ centage. He coached the Longhorns to 20 SWC Championships. Bibb Falk, who replaced Shoeless Joe Jackson in the Chicago W hite Sox lin e u p a fte r he w as b a n n e d from baseball, coached Texas in 25 seasons, leading the Longhorns to th eir first tw o n a tio n a l c h a m p i­ onships in 1949 and 1950 and anoth­ er 20 SWC titles. Last but not least, is the dean of collegiate baseball coaches, Cliff Gustafson. "C oach G us," as he is m ore com m only know n, has won more collegiate gam es than all but tw o o th e r coach es e v e r, a n d he holds the highest lifetime w inning mark of any coach, an .813 clip. In his 25 years at the helm of UT baseball, G u stafso n 's team s have w on tw o NCAA W orld Series in their 16 appearances in Omaha, fin­ ished second in three others and fin­ ished atop the SWC 20 times. W om en's basketball coach Jody C onradt, the current w om en's ath­ letic director, was a central figure in the rise of w om en's basketball not o n ly at the U n iv e rsity , b u t also throughout the NCAA system. Her teams helped prove that w om en's ath letics could be a viable sp o rt alongside m en's athletics. T H E TEAM S Texas has had more than its fair share of legendary athletic squads, but in narrowing down the field, we have to consider those team s that w ere esp e c ia lly m agical a n d / o r dom inant in their own right. ■ 1969 fo o tball team — Royal's crow ning glory, this team was the last UT squad to go undefeated, nar­ ro w ly b e a tin g N o. 2 -ran k ed A rk a n sa s in th e " G a m e of the C e n tu ry " on tw o fo u rth -q u a rte r touchdowns. These Longhorns then came back against N otre Dame to w in the Cotton Bowl and national championship. ■ 1975 b a s e b a ll team — T his team, which included all-time win leader Jim G ideon and All-Every- thing Keith Moreland, was coached by Gustafson. The team posted a 59- 6 record, 23-1 vs. SWC opponents, and went through the NCAA play­ offs with only one loss. They bested A rizona State 5-1 in the ch am p i­ onship game. ■ 1970-72 m en's golf team — Led by future greats Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw, Texas won two consecu­ tive NCAA titles, an SWC title and 11 other tournam ents. Between the two, they won 27 individual titles in their collective seven years at Texas. ■ 1983-1991 w om en's sw im m ing an d d iv in g — F o rm er w o m e n 's coach Mark Schubert left a legacy of winning that will probably never be equaled at this or any other univer­ sity. In nine years, his team s w on eight NCAA team titles, 18 individ­ ual titles and nine SWC titles. These THE SALT UCK team s se n t 15 a th le te s to the O lym pics and have in num erable All-Americans and recordholders. ■ 1985-86 w o m en 's b ask e tb a ll team. One word describes this team — perfect. The 34-0 record is the only unblemished record in NCAA wom en's basketball history. Led by coach Conradt and players Clarissa D avis and K am ie E th rid g e, th is team s ta n d s a lo n e as the b est women's collegiate team in history. THE A T H L E T E S The ann als of Texas sp o rts are filled with name after name of ath­ letes w ho w ere great. But only a select few of these can be said to have defined that sport at UT for all other players who follow to try and emulate. Drum roll, please. ■ F o o tb a ll — Earl C am p b ell stands ap a rt from all others w ho have w aged w a r on the g rid iro n wearing Longhorn orange. He is the only UT player to win the Heisman Trophy and one of only two Long­ horns in the Pro Football H all of Fam e. A n y o n e w ho ev er saw Campbell play will tell you he's the best there ever was. ■ B aseball — K eith M o reland batted .388 in his college career, sec­ ond all-time at Texas, and is near the top of the list in hits, RBIs, dou­ bles and extra-base hits. In addition, he played a m ean third base and was named a first-team All-Ameri­ can three tim es, one of only four Longhorns to receive that honor. ■ S w im m in g — Form er L ong­ horn Jill Sterkel won her first Olyp- mic gold w hen she was 15. While she was at Texas, she captained the U.S. Olympic swim m ing team and w on 16 in divid ual national colle­ giate cham pionships. She has p a r­ ticipated in four Olympics, winning two golds, and two bronze. Sterkel w as h ire d in Ju ly as the L ad y Horns' head coach, replacing Mark Schubert. T he D a ily T e x a n August, 1992 Page F15 The New Mack Attack John Mackovic promises to redefine Texas football Mike Guentherman New Students Edition Staff W hen new UT head fo o tb all coach John M ackovic a rriv e d in A ustin, he left little d o u b t ab o u t how things were going to be run. During his first meeting with the players, Mackovic said that som e­ thing in the room was w rong and that he would leave until the play­ ers corrected it. A fter the in itial suprise the players realized that the w hite players w ere sitting on one side of the room and the black play­ ers were sitting on the other. 'One of our first priorities was to raise the team's morale and restore the players' confidence," Mackovic said. Mackovic, who has turned every team he has ev e r coached into a w in n e r, is the u ltim a te s o lu tio n sought by a University adm inistra­ tion frustrated by three losing sea­ sons in the last four years. The Ohio native began his coach­ ing ca ree r w ith a b rief serie s of assistant jobs, ranging from a grad­ u a te assistan t p o sitio n u n d e r Bo Schembechler at Miami of Ohio to offensive co o rd in a to r at A rizona and Purdue. Mackovic earned his reputation as football's version of "The Fugitive" by packing a total of sev en co ach in g p o s itio n s in to a mere 12 years. His first head coaching stint was at his alma mater, Wake Forest. It took M ackovic all of one year to ta k e the sc h o o l's team from th e black hole of college football to a respectable 8-4 record. A fter th re e y e a rs le a d in g th e D em on D eacons, M ackovic w as offered an assistant position w ith the Dallas Cowboys under resident football god Tom Landry — a fact that may help tried-and-true Texas fans sw allo w M ac k o v ic 's n o n - Orangeblood background. F inally, M ackovic ascended to coaching's cushiest job, head coach of an NFL team. The former quar­ terback spent four turbulent seasons at th e h elm of th e K ansas C ity Chiefs before a falling out w ith the players forced him to move on. M ac k o v ic 's p ro exile g av e the U niversity of Illinois a chance to draw on the nomadic coach's exper­ tise. D uring his four-year reign in Champaign, Mackovic put the fight back in th e Illini a n d w as tw ice named Big 10 coach of the year. H ow did Texas m anage to lure Mackovic away from Illinois? "O n e of the real ad v an tag es of coming to a place like Texas is the pride associated with the program ," Mackovic said. The $2.125 m illion co n tra ct Texas o ffered p ro b a b ly didn't hurt, either. T he new coach m ay b e g in to think he's u n d erp aid this season, how ever, after he has a chance to soak up the pressure being placed on him to succeed. Texas returns its usual assortment of high school All-Am ericans and one of the nation's premier defens­ es. With this in mind, Mackovic has retained the services of defensive guru Leon Fuller and will devote all his time to bringing the Longhorn offense back from the dead. Luckily for the new coach, the H o rn s ' o ffen siv e ca b in e t is n o t exactly bare either. Texas returns fourth-year starting quarterback Peter Gardere (a mixed b lessing) an d a bevy of ru n n in g backs that's the envy of the confer­ ence. U nfortunately for the Long­ horns, Mackovic's new pass-orient­ ed offense m ay leave some runners warming the bench. ' ■ g"" — For Phil Brown the new offense may be the perfect chance to show off his talent w ithout being h a m ­ strung by the fact that he bears no p h y sical re sem b la n ce to fo rm e r Longhorn g reat Earl C am pbell (a prerequisite for getting in good w ith Texas alumni). "I really like the new offense," Brown said. "I think I've picked it up well, but I still need to work on my blocking." Brown may need his own media guide before the '92 season starts. So far in the c o n s ta n tly s h iftin g offense he has lined up as a tailback, halfback, slo tb ack , fu llb ack a n d wide receiver. Brown and the rest of the 'H orns give Mackovic an offense he can be optimistic about. The real question is how well the offense will grasp the rocket science called "a passing a tta c k " b efo re the s ta rt of th e upcoming season. "We have put in about 70 percent of the o ffense so fa r," M ackovic said. "T he rest should take about two years to install." The offense m ay take some time to pan out, b u t M ackovic, know n for his strict, businesslike attitude, w asted no tim e in fo rm u latin g a new code of conduct for the players. All players will be required to wear coats and ties on the team 's road trips, and practices will be conduct­ ed in an organized, w orkm anlike fashion. Mackovic also places a high priority on academics — something that could come as the biggest cul­ ture shock of all. So w ith a fo n d farew ell T exas waves goodbye to the era of good ol' boys and waves in the new age of m o d e rn iz a tio n . N ow all th a t Texas fa n s can do is h o ld th e ir breath and hope the changes trans­ late into winning seasons. Shorts T-Shirts G r e a t S e le c tio n of F r a t e r n it y &.
