A SSOCIATED PRESS Many of the 3.000 Police: Beware of fake tickets UT vendors warn buyers about counterfeit Notre Dame tickets 3,500 Army soldiers to depart for Kuwait Associated Press W A SH IN G T O N — In m o v es d esig n ed to " k e e p Saddam H ussein in a b o x ," President Clinton has dis­ patched 3,500 Army soldiers to Kuwait and warned the Iraqi leader of new attacks should he threaten his neigh­ bors or U.S. forces. The w arning to Saddam will remain in effect indefi­ nitely, the State Department said. " It's obvious that he's alw ays pushing the envelope," C lin to n said T u esd ay . " W e d id n 't w ant to crea te a precedent that would lead him to believe he could take further action. We didn't want there to be any am bigui­ ty at all." A fter congressional leaders met with C linton at the W hite House, Democratic senators said Clinton had not hesitated in sending the troops to Kuw ait. A lthough plans to send 5,000 soldiers were announced on Friday, re p o rts e m e rg e d M o n d ay th e d e c isio n w as b ein g reviewed. " W e 'r e d oing it b ecau se the Kuw aiti g ov ern m en t feels threatened,” Defense Secretary William Perry said of the deployment. The 3,500 soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, would join 1,200 others conducting exercises in Kuwait by the end of the week, he said. Perry flatly rejected speculation that the Kuwaiti gov­ ernm ent in itially was u nw illing to accept additional U.S. forces, or that the U.S.-led coalition that mounted the 1991 w ar against Iraq had been fractured during the past two w eeks of confrontation with Saddam. "T h e bottom line is, the coalition is alive and w ell," said Perry, w ho had returned early Tuesday from two days of consultations with Gulf and European allies. Senate R epublican leader Tren t Lott of M ississippi expressed satisfaction after attending the meeting with Clinton, although he termed it "som ew hat belated.” He said he hoped "th e re w ill be no b a sis" for the troops to go into action, but added that would depend on whether Saddam threatens U.S. forces or his neigh­ bors. Before departing for a three-day campaign swing in the M idw est and West, C linton said his actions were "d e s ig n e d to im p rove the stra te g ic p o sitio n o f the United States and our allies to keep Saddam Hussein in BRIAN BEARD Daily Texan Staff Randy Cohen, president of Ticket City in Dobie Mall, rubbed the indented bar code of a football ticket for Saturday's Notre Dame game to show how difficult it was to identify a legitimate ticket.

He said last year's counterfeiting incident at the UT-AocM gam e in C ollege Station helped prompt his suspicion about the possibility of a similar problem. According to Jim Kotch, Texas A& M 's athlet­ ic ticket manager, 176 counterfeit tickets were taken from fans w ho had been duped into buy­ ing the tickets at the game. "That ticket was reproduced so many times, 50 or 60 people wrere trying to sit in the same seat," said Sgt. Jim Lindholm, a criminal inves­ tigations officer at A&M. Griggs said the police would have more offi­ cers at the stadium on game day. UT police are encouraging people to buy tickets from a source that they can trust, he added.

Macintosh. More flexible than ever. We don’t know how you’ll fill in the blank. That’s why we make Macintosh* computers so flexible. To help you be the first to do whatever you want to do. And with word processing, easy Internet access, powerful multimedia and cross-platform compatibility, a Mac* makes it even easier to do it. How do you get started? Visit your campus computer store today and pick up a Mac. Leave your mark. Ci n an advertising campaign, let it! Students are going to drink, whether or not there's a beer slogan on their DDP. sticker. Refusing money on such grounds is inexcusable. As for Sixth Street, it's hard to stomach that 170 letters by DDP fund­ raising director Biren Patel brought in only $50. If it weren't for the University, Sixth Street w ouldn't exist. W e hope Sixth Street vendors reconsider the well-being of their patrons and the value of avoiding negligence lawsuits. We encourage all students who drink downtown to ask bar managers why they won't contribute. But continuing University sponsorship is not the answer. The DDP has funds to last until December, which is plenty of time to seal cor­ porate sponsorship. But if the committee approves bm dm g today, you’ll hear this same tired argument next spring. Right now, DDP has offers from Coors, Anheuser-Busch, Seagram s and Randall's. Coors has said its regional office will match w hatever its local office contributes, while Anheuser-Busch is waiting to gee w hat Coors will offer, and then its national office will match funds; Both Seagram s and Randalls are just beginning negotiations. On another note, the DDP needs student volunteers for fundraising and to take calls. Its a gre^t way to make a difference on campus. Unlike our fight against the loud com m ercials on the JumboTron, w e are enthusiatically endorsing corporate sponsorship for the desig­ nated drivers program. If a Silver Bullet or Budweiser logo with a phone num ber on it saves just one student's life, it's worth it. 'JUSTIFY MY DAY SADDAM I ' 9/ 12/96 CIA documented as part of drug trade Bob Dole has vowed to involve U.S. intelligence agencies in the "War on Drugs." This is sad testimony to the profound ignorance of the American public and the confident cynicism of our leaders. There is a wealth of books documenting the symbiotic relation­ ship between U.S. intelligence agencies and drug traffickers. The picture which emerges is not simply of the occasional rogue agent making deals on the side, but rather an institutionalized means of fund raising and intelligence gathenng for covert activities. If anything, U.S. intelligence agencies need to get out of the drug war, as does this country. The congressional hearings into the Contra-drug connection were a verita­ ble "W ho's Who of Narcoterrorists." Nearly all these people had ties to drug C raig S ch ro er GUEST COLUMNIST trafficking, arms trafficking, terrorism and mercenary operations. Oddly enough, a substantial number of them have also been, at one time or another, recipients of large checks courtesy of the U.S. government. The case of Manuel Norriega is per­ haps the best known example, but here's a lesser known instance. Four of the airlines "cleared" by the CIA and the National Security Council to fly humanitarian aid to the Contras were owned by known drug smug­ glers who took in a total of $806,000 in U.S. State Department contracts. In regard to these oddities, the congres­ sional report reads: "A t best, these incidents represent negligence on the part of U.S. government officials responsible for providing support to the Contras... At worst it was a matter of turning a blind eye to the activities of companies who use legitimate activities as a cover for their narcotics trafficking." Where was Dole during these hearings? Dole also missed the recent three- part story (Aug. 18-20) on CIA involve­ ment in the crack cocaine trade pub­ lished by the San Jose Mercury News. The Web site http:/ / www.sjmercury .com /drugs/ has the complete story, including pictures of drug runners cavorting with CIA agents, sound files of interesting tidbits of testimony from the California trial which spurred the investigation and the full-text of court motions by the assistant U.S. attorney in California to quash any reference to the CIA or fund raising for the Contras. Here's a short list of books about government complicity in drug traf­ ficking available at UT: Cocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies, and the CIA in Central America by Peter Dale Scott, The Politics o f Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy, The Big White Lie: the CIA and the Co- caine/Crack Epidemic by Michael Levine and Powderbums: Cocaine, Contras & the Drug War by Celerino Castillo. Read them and decide for yourself. Craig Schroer, librarian for the Ben­ son Latin American Collection Religious group fights tactics of Ralph Reed’s Christian Coalition iblc. I do guerilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag." Upon reading the above quote, one might assume it is taken from the confessions of a ser­ ial killer, or perhaps a bad Steven Segal movie. Disturbingly, these are the words of Ralph Reed, the executive director of the Christian Coalition. The coalition has become increas­ ingly powerful in recent years: many politi­ cal analysts.give it considerable credit for influencing the 1994 elections and putting Newt Gingrich in the speaker's chair. According to Reed, the "C hristian Coali­ tion is a grass-roots citizen organization w orking on behalf of families who want to see less governm ent intrusion in their lives and m ore fam ily-friendly public policy." Their "fam ily-friendly policy" includes leg­ islation slashing health and legal benefits for C h ris Turner TEXAN COLUMNIST the poor and abolishing the Department of Education. The part about less government intrusion apparently does not extend to education: the coalition is waging all-out war to tear down the separation of church and state and insti­ tute government-sponsored religion in pub­ lic schools, as well as have Congress subsi­ dize private ones. In the words of Jerry Fal- well: "I hope I live to see the day when ... we don't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Chris­ tians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" Joyous, indeed. Most Americans cannot wait until the day when we throw out the First Amendment and shove a single religion down everyone's throat! Falwell and Reed would do well to remember that one of the reasons for the founding of this country’ they profess to love so much had a lot to do with religious freedom. Remember the pilgrims? They did not set sail on the Mayflower because they thought it would be fun — they desperately wanted to escape state- mandated religion and worship in their own fashion. It will be a sad day for America if we ever make the mistakes that compelled our fore­ bears to cross the Atlantic in the first place. The coalition is quite adept at moving qui­ etly in order to accomplish its goals. Reed brings a certain political astuteness to this group which enables them to fly under radar as they work to elect political candidates who are suitably hostile to most things American. The success they experienced in 1994 was not only felt on Capitol Hill, but on city councils and school boards across the nation. In early 1995, a group of concerned indi­ viduals and organizations across Texas came together in response to the growing power of the religious right. They subsequently founded the nonpartisan Texas Freedom Netw’ork. Says TFN executive director Cecile Richards, "In one year, we established a strong alliance of community and religious leaders and organizations providing a m ain­ stream voice to balance the growing social and political influence of religious political extremists in Texas." A particular concern of the TFN is to insure that Falwell and his cronies do not wage a suc­ cessful takeover of public schools. Currently, five of the 15 members of the State Board of Education are tied to the religious right. Earli­ er this year, the TFN conducted extensive voter education drives, an effort which allowed voters to make an informed and objec­ tive decision about certain races. In the March primary, two candidates for the board were defeated by moderate contenders. When voters have reliable information with which to make a decision, they invari­ ably choose the better candidate. And this is what makes the Texas Freedom Network so important. It is not often easy to combat hateful and divi­ sive rhetoric with intellectual arguments and historical anecdotes. But the folks at the Texas Freedom Network are quite good at doing just that. ,On the last weekend of this month, the TFN will hold a training conference to discuss these issues and many others. Interested people should call 512-322-0545 for more information. Turner is a government senior.

The "C inco de M ayo" celebration is not the independence from France. It was only the victory of the M exican army over France in Puebla. Another m isunderstanding is the fact that the grito is celebrated on the night of the 15th, but the actual celebrations are on the 16th. The grito is celebrated all over the country, and the next day there are parades in most of the cities. The 16th is the actual day which is considered a national holiday. As a result, banks, schools and many government agencies have the day off. Luis Pablo Rhi Vice-president Mexican Student Association Ancient frats in California? I was surprised to read in Tuesday's edi­ tion of The Texan that there was.an excava­ tion of Greek trash mounds at UC Berkeley. Though I am aware of the Oxyrhynchus papyri mounds of Ptolemaic Egypt, I have never heard of such findings on the West Coast of the United States. Good thing Berkeley has a good classics department! I think this historic finding proves that Greek fraternities have at least one thing in com m on with the H ellenistic world of antiquity: they are both very m essy. Hmmm. Maybe our Department of Classics should initiate a dig on the grounds of the Zeta Psi house. Call out the papyrologists! Burke Gerstenschlager Classics senior Henley blind about female beauty I am writing in response to G eoff Hen­ ley's "Beauty" editorial. Henley spoke of how Pamela Anderson turns more heads than Gloria Steinem changes minds. Where does Henley get his assumptions about what is more valuable? This is typical of the patriarchal assessm ent that w om en are much more valuable if they turn 100 heads than if they influence 10 minds. Apparent­ ly, Henley is unable to see women as more than one-dimensional. Henley spoke of the "instinctive" appeal of the curvaceous blonde. A pparently, Henley has never looked at a single study of cross-cultural standards of beauty and how they are socially defined. In various FIRING LINE tribes of Africa, disks are placed in the ear and lip and hang several inches down and the fact that this is considered attractive is seen as "natural". Furthermore, he spoke of the "truth" of a big derriere as being intrinsically undesir­ able. Henley need look no further than the black community in this country where a voluptuous behind is seen as attractive. However, I suppose the only truth for Hen­ ley is that the opinion of the white bour­ geoisie world is the only "Truth." Another point Henley attempts to make is that "excess" (to his aesthetic standards) fat suggests idleness and poor health. The key word here is "suggests" because there are num erous individual differences in metabolism that say nothing about how hard working and healthy they are. Apparently Henley finds it a bit to stress­ ful to judge people on an individual basis. Another w eak point is when Henley espouses the view that all attacks on beau­ ty come from women who are not tradi­ tionally good looking. Just because these women don't talk to you doesn't mean they don't exist. I know several women who were disgusted by your articles who are as "attractive" physically as Pamela Ander­ son. However, I can clearly see why you have never met any. Perhaps if you took your face out of a Playboy for a few minutes and actually talked to women instead of sim ply drooling on their pictures you would realize this. More troubling is Henley's view that in order to be "allow ed " a voice in how women are treated you must be one of the privileged or your opinions are discounted. 1 suppose according to this quasi-logic that all people who have ever been oppressed or put in marginalized positions should not have a say. So Henley, I expect to read some REALLY convincing articles from you in the future on how Jews should not have opinions about the Holocaust or how blacks tormented by the KKK shouldn't complain since they only stand to gain and their views are prejudiced. This article was an example of poor journalistic scholarship and integrity that make it unworthy of the reader's respect. Cristin Fitzpatrick Sociology graduate student Where did we fail? Geoff, Geoff, Geoff, where did Richard Baker and I go w rong? In the first place, while John Stuart Mill certainly did distin­ guish between bodily pleasures and the nobler variety (aesthetic and intellectual), he is far from the first to praise the plea­ sures of the mind over those of the body. Surely you rem em ber Plato and his m en­ tor Socrates? Oh yeah, Plato also advanced the view that "visual stimulation ignites and sustains m ental activity ..." D oes "Sym posium " ring a bell? The ad hominem (circumstantial) fallacy you tacked on at the end of your editorial was just the icing on the cake. Really now, you're making me feel ashamed for having once supposedly taught you. Worst of all, though, is your uncritical support of the status quo — why bother even writing an editorial on this? By the way, do you know ANYONE who saw Barb-Wire? I've been asking my classes this since the summer and I haven't found a sin­ gle person w ho's seen it. Dave Nakamaye UT alum "top 10 universities" [sic] according to U.S. News, there is no sign of Berkeley or M ichi­ gan or Texas. This is no surprise given that the ranking is designed in a way to penal­ ize state universities: by counting "student selectivity," for example, as well as by counting "retention rates." W hat exactly these factors have to do with the quality of ed ucation an student can individual receive remains mysterious. Pick some different criteria and you will get some very different results. O f the U.S. News "top 10," only Yale and Harvard have greater library resources than Texas. O f the U.S. News "top 10," only Yale, Princeton, Harvard, MIT and Stanford have com para­ ble or stronger faculties (as measured by the breadth and depth of scholarly distinc­ tion across all the disciplines); schools like Duke, Brow n, N orthw estern and D art­ mouth simply don't compare in this regard. Factor in cost with these other two mea­ sures, and it is doubtful that Texas would have any serious competition for No. 1. I urge The Daily Texan to help its readers understand the fraud that U.S. News has been perpetrating on the public for a num ­ ber of years now. The blatant bias of U.S. News against state schools gives you special reason to approach their annual rankings with a skeptical eye. Brian Leiter Assistant professor of law and philosophy Texan should not report ‘U.S. News’ rankings Given the many defects of the U.S. News rankings — as aptly described by Marc Levin (Sept. 17) — a more interesting ques­ tion is why The Daily Texan continues to report these rankings dutifully each year, as though they constitute "new s" rather than an organized defamation of state uni­ versities. Consider, for example, that among the Tiring Line letters and Ask Your Lawyer Questions can be brought to the Texan basement offices at 25th Street and Whitis Avenue or mailed to P.O. Box D, Austin, TX 7§713, Or, e- mail them to TEXAN@www.utexas edu Firing Line letters must be fewer than 250 words. UT students should indude their major and classification, and all writers must present identifi­ cation or include a phone number. The Texan reserves the right to edit letters. regarding I'm w riting Holiday explanations Jaclyn Roberson's article (Students dis­ pleased with lack of activities, Tues­ day 9 /1 7 ) and Em m a Widener's let­ ter (Firing Line, Monday 9 /1 6 ). I hope to set things straight. Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the bells of his church in the town of Dolores, Guanajuato, the morning of Sept. 16, 1810, before sunrise. When the crowd gathered, he led them to begin the War of Independence, using an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe as a flag. In Mexico, we remember this event with the cerem ony of "El Grito," the night of the 15th (it is obvious we are not going to wake up before sunrise on the 16th!), but the official holiday of Independence Day is the 16th. We have only seven official holi­ days (i.e. schools closed, offices closed, etc.), and one of them is the 16th. What Mexican-Americans cele­ brate is a different matter, and I'm not qualified to talk about it, since we are two different cultures. They even give more importance to a sec­ ondary celebration: the Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla (May 5, a.k.a. "Cinco de Mayo"), where our Army defeated the French invaders. Which takes me to my second point: Mr. Luis Hri's statements about Mexican history surprised me a lot (I assume that he is Mexican, since he is the vice president of the Mexican Stu­ dent Association), I guess he slept through all the history courses he took in school. I quote: "most people confuse Cinco de Mayo, the day Mexico gained independence from France..." Excuse me Mr. Hri, but Mexico was NEVER a French colony, so we never "gained" our independence from France. M aybe a remedial course in Mexican history would be beneficial here... Victor M.

The majority of criticisms seemed to center on the question of scientific worth and importance.

His cabinet that "reflected the faces of Am erica," co nsisted of s o m e th in g like 20 law yers and 10 m illio naires. If that's what all of Am erica looks like, I'm missing so m eth ing ($$$). Throughout his presidency, he being within the scope of human attraction and m otivation, is now clearly a topic of som e im p o r­ tance. It seem s a few readers felt that no research n ee d ed to be done to prove this theory, for they found it to be com m on sense. This merely reflects the mentality of western culture. The idea of the hourglass figure is so ingrained within our society, that upon first glance the theory seems obvious. H o w ev e r, m any tim es peop le write off particular attractions to societal and cultural influence. As the saying goes, one m an's floor is a n o th e r m a n 's ceiling. W hat western culture finds attrac­ tive, e astern cu ltu r e m ay find repulsive. If this were true, one would find that different cultures held differ­ ent b o d y sh a p e s as a ttractive. H o w ev e r, p rim itiv e E cu ad o rian cultures and C hinese statues d at­ ing back to A.D. 900 show us that this is not the case. Both display a p re fe ren c e for the " i d e a l" hip- w aist ratio of 0.7. It seems the ideal body shape has been hailed as so for ages, not only in W estern society, but over the expanse of it seem s the globe. T h e refo re, m en's attraction to a certain body shape is not learned, but innate. O ur attraction is not shaped by our environment, but dictated by our biology. This is, unarguably, an im por­ tant thesis which deems discus­ sion. I w ould rea d e rs of In ad d itio n, like to the brief rem ind encounter they have had with this co ncep t.

Edwards Aquifer threatened by overuse PAIGE LEAVITT Daily Texan Staff If San Antonio does not react to the lower­ ing water level of the Edwards Aquifer the city will "go down the tubes," a Sierra Club attorney said on campus Tuesday night. Stuart Henry told business people from Central Texas that San Antonio should reg­ ulate w ater flow, because cheap w ater is one of its appealing qualities. The E dw ards Aquifer is a w ater reser­ voir that serves five counties, including Bexar County and Travis County. Environmental groups, government offi­ cials and residents of areas that use the aquifer are debating the federal governments' author­ ity to regulate underground water sources. "E dw ards A quifer will be reg u lated ," Henry said. "Simply because it is a com­ mon and limited resource." Problem s w ith low ering w a te r levels began in 1991 when the Sierra Club sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, because the agency w ould not set limits on pum ping water from Edwards Aquifer, Henry said. "San Antonio is one of the most irrespon­ sible cities in this state," he said. "You don't solve a problem by sitting on it. They don't have an adequate water supply. They have a problem." The Sierra Club is preparing a class action suit against San Antonio and 15 pum pers who use the aquifer, Henry said."N o one knows how m any people pum p from this source, but we're going get them all." He said he believes the case will quickly trav e l to th e 5th U.S. C irc u it C o u rt of Appeals and possibly the Supreme Court. " A n y b o d y w ho h ad an y sense knew Edwards was about to lower to dangerous levels," he said. "The politics are so large, you get no solution to the problem." The lecture was held in the Thom pson Conference Center during a meeting of the W ater Environm ent Association of Texas. This organization has about 1,600 members in Texas. Advising day events planned for West Mall AMANDA ROBINSON Dally Texan Staff Advisers from more than 75 different departments will give students on the West Mall Wednesday advice about courses and academic planning. Tlte Academic Counselors' Association along with other student support offices will be present at the annual Academic Advising Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Representatives from the Career Services Center, the Learning Skills Center and Student Financial Services will have tables. "The purpose of the event is to create an awareness of academic advising and to let students know that aca­ demic advising is not just for registration, but they can also develop a relationship with their advisor," said Cindy Bippert Academic Advising Day chairwoman. "mat'sbeneficial especially at a university this large, because advisers meet with a group of people every month and develop a network," Bippert said. There are three levels of advising available to stu­ dents, said Patricia Gore, president of the Academic Counselors' Association. Faculty advisers will inform students of career and research opportunities as well as graduate school options, she said. "Advising can help students in getting through their degree plan and making decisions in their major," Gore said. "It makes the educational process much easier." Student advisers will also assist in the effort. "We will be there for student support and to provide information on what we have to offer students in our department, as well as provide applications for the American Chemical society," Chris Johnson, a chem­ istry and biochemistry undergraduate advisor, said. Advisers will also be available in the university resi­ dence halls Sept. 26 and 30.

Jillian Robbins, a h u n ter with Arm y Reserve trairling who acquaintances said had a history of mental problems and was known as "Crazy Jill," was hospitalized in serious condition with a stab wound suffered in a struggle with the student who came to the rescue and knocked her down. No immediate charges were filed against Robbins, who is a longtime resident of State College but not a student. Police gave no motive for the shooting and said Robbins did not know her victims. Robbins positioned herself in front of the student union and fired off at least five shots from her rifle, a Mauser with a telescopic sight, around 9:30 a.m., police said. H undreds of frightened students and teachers scattered across the lawn outside the Hetzel Union Building, one of the cam ­ pus' busiest areas. A book in one student's backpack stopped a bullet. Aerospace engineering student Brendon Malovrh noticed smoke, ran over and tackled Robbins as she was putting in a second ammunition clip, police said. As the two struggled, Robbins pulled a knife from her purse and tried to stab Malovrh, stabbing herself in the leg instead, police said. Malovrh quickly took off his belt and fashioned a tourniquet on Robbins. In fro n t of them lay a d ea d M elanie S palla, 19, of Altoona. Nicholas Mensah, 27, of Philadelphia, had been shot once in the abdomen. He was in stable condition. "This is a high-traffic area, where lots of people ride their bikes. It's freaky to know this happened here. But I guess this is where you want to do it if you want to kill so m e one," said Jessica Ohrum, 20, of East Berlin. Acquaintances who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Robbins had a h isto ry of m ental problem s, once spending time in a hospital. They said she had been m ar­ ried and divorced in the past year and had tried to commit suicide last month. Friends said she hoped to become an artist. Fellow em ployees at a d in er-b ak ery w here she had worked a year ago called her "Crazy Jill," an acquaintance said. C am pus Police Chief David Stormer said Robbins had Army Reserve training, and a friend said she liked to hunt. About 40,000 students attend the university in State Col­ lege, a town of about 40,000 perm anent residents in the center of the state. There has been only one other slaying on campus in the school's 186-year history: In 1969, a graduate student was stabbed in a library. Her killer was never found.

"Since the last day to register to vote is Oct. 5, we really want to get people registered as soon as possi­ ble," Ferguson said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS New Tech president stresses change Associated Press LUBBOCK — M oney w as on the mind of Texas Tech University P r e sid e n t D o n a ld H aragan on Tuesday, his first full day on the job w ith ou t the w ord "interim " preceding his title. "Our N o. 1 priority has to be the capital campaign and getting it off to a good start," said Hara­ gan, w hose expected appointment as 12th president of the 24,000- student university came Monday. C h an cello r John T. M ontford also tapped Dr. D avid R. Smith, the state's health commissioner, as the p re sid e n t of T ech's m edical school. H aragan stressed that universi­ ty officials, particularly Montford, are concerned w ith stim u latin g the school's endow m ent fund. For Texas Tech to continue to co m p e te , he sa id , th e school ro u g h ly needs to q u a d ru p le its current $125 million fund by the turn of the century. Endowm ent money would pay for new academic chairs and pro­ fessorships, but Haragan said his focus will be on scholarship gifts. "W e've done a really good job for scholarships for the very high­ est level," he said. "W e haven't done as good a job for the group right below that." Sentiment for a plum p endow ­ m ent appears universally favor­ able on the Lubbock campus. "Obviously, the faculty is hope­ ful an d ca u tio u sly o p tim istic," said Faculty Senate President John Howe, adding that he and other professors supported hiring Hara­ gan from w ith in , a fte r re g en ts hired an outsider as chancellor. H aragan came to Tech in 1969 as an assistant professor of geo­ sciences. He h eld a n u m b e r of p o sts, including executive vice president and provost of Texas Tech since 1988. He w as nam ed interim p re si­ dent after his predecessor, Robert W. Lawless, became president of the University of Tulsa in Febru­ ary. T he T exas Tech B oard of R egents created the ch an cello r­ ship in April in a rearrangem ent of the school's hierarchy. Haragan and Smith will handle the day-to-day operations of their schools and report to Montford, a fo rm e t s ta te s e n a to r w h o w as hired last month. " O v e ra ll, w e 'v e got a good team," said Haragan, who added that he is not interested in "going out and drawing turf" boundaries between himself and Montford. S tudent Association President Geoff Wayne described Haragan's interim tenure as being more open to student concerns than Lawless' reign, and Wayne said he expects that will continue. "I think it's a great step, and I think it's what most of the faculty and staff w an ted ," W ayne said. "It brings something to the office we haven't had in awhile." Howe expressed concern about the selection process, which large­ ly was left to Montford. H ow ever, he said the m ethod w ill be a ro u sin g success if the endowment skyrockets and Hara­ gan is left alone to o p erate the university. In addition to the endow m ent p u sh , Haictgan said h e 'll focus im m ediately on the new recruit­ ing offices th e school p la n s to open in Houston and Dallas in the next 30 days. mocking italy Italians know a lot about pasta, sports create exclusive handbags and footwear that look cars and fine leather goods.

In light of B row n's and sim ilar cases, the Austin- Police D epartm ent is. red o u ­ bling its efforts to curb gang violence. In a d d itio n to c u r re n t p ro c e d u re s , police will start a new netw orking system to track gang activity, police officials said. In April the Police Departm ent received a $750,000 federal grant from the Com m u­ nity O riented Policing Services office, a division of the U.S. Justice Department, to help prevent gang violence. C harles Miller, press secretary for the D epartm ent of Justice COPS Office, said the Austin Police Department has "identi­ fied a n u m b e r of g a n g s a c tiv e in th e Austin area." Burgess said the Austin Police D epart­ ment has started many program s to cur­ tail gang activity, including the gang sup­ pression unit in 1993 and other program s stem m ing from the reception of the feder­ al gran t to fight gang activity over the course of a year. H e said A u stin w as one of 15 cities nationw ide that received money from the $11 million issued by the D epartm ent of Justice. Miller said by rew arding gang suppres­ sion u n its in som e cities they can help other cities deal with gang problems. "We looked at departm ents w ith good operation procedures," Miller said. "APD h ad a good ex istin g p ro g ram , an d we w anted to expand it." Lt.

"The bottom line is that w e're trying to take gangs out of the neighborhoods and keep them out of the n eig h b o rh o o d s," Bradle said. Most of the m oney will be used for a new gang activity tracking system to cre­ ate n etw o rk in g w ith different agencies via com puters and provide instant infor­ mation to officers. Bradle said fire system would begin in October. The system would also assist neighbor­ hood reinforcement teams with providing tracking inform ation through com puters that will be set up at neighborhood substa­ tions, Bradle said He said neigh borhood reinforcem ent te a m s w ill p ro v id e a m u ltifa c e te d approach involving neighborhood lead ­ ers, church leaders, com m unity leaders and mem bers of the Austin Independent School District to fight against gang activ­ ity and assist in the tracking of gangs. Pat Fuller, chief of Austin Independent School D istrict police, said the A ustin P olice D e p a rtm e n t is fu rn is h in g h is departm ent with desktop and laptop com­ puters for the network. He said training for the system has begun, but certain com­ ponents of the system, such as program ­ m ing and hardw are, have not yet been provided. Bradle said gang tracking is im portant because gangs are spread all over Austin. " A u stin is so m obile, th e y 're e v e ry ­ where ... there are factions of certain gangs everywhere," he said. "This brings federal, state and locals together on one page." Witnesses testify Hyde had time to move Prosecutors call in forensic pathologist and accident reconstructionist JOE BEAIRD Daily Texan Staff about 55 miles per hour when she hit Bolin. S tate p ro secu to rs T u esd ay called their final witnesses, an accident reconstructionist and a forensic pathologist, to testify in the Cesilee H yde intoxica­ tion m anslaughter case. H y d e's M azda RX-7 struck and killed A ustin policem an Drew Bolin on June 2,1995. During his five hours of tes­ tim ony, pro secu tio n w itn ess Leonard V aughn used scaled maps and aerial com puter sim­ ulations of the accident scene to show that H yde had suffi­ cient time to see and m aneuver around Bolin. B olin sto o d n e a r th e 51st Street bridge in the far left lane of n o rth b o u n d In tersta te 35, directing traffic away from the scene of an earlier accident. If convicted, H yd e faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Based on the position of the body w hen it landed and the testim ony of accident witness Leah N ew m an , V a u g h n argued that Bolin was standing a b o u t 160 feet s o u th of a w recker w hen he w as struck by Hyde. At the time of the accident, Hyde had a blood alcohol level of 0.16. A level of 0.10 or high­ er is co n sid ered evidence of intoxication in Texas. V a u g h n te s tifie d th a t th e w recker's lights should have been v is ib le to H y d e from 3,000 feet aw ay , g iv in g h e r enough tim e to steer clear of Bolin.

Earlier testimony showed that H yde's brakes never engaged during the accident, even after her car struck Bolin. * Defense attorney Ben Florey c a l l e d V a u g h n 's video re ­ enactm ents " m is re p re ­ sentations" b e c a u s e th ey m ad e the w re c k ­ e r 's stro b e lig h ts a p p e a r b rig h te r than they w ere and omitted a slight bend in one of the painted road lines. C esilee Florey suggested that a Nissan truck driven by Newm an may have kept Hyde from seeing the wrecker or Bolin, thus indirectly causing the accident. But VaugJm testified that even if H y d e 's vision had been obstructed until she was 500 feet away from Bolin, she still would have had time to react if her per­ ception and reaction speed had not been impaired.

Politicians hope for school tax relief Associated Press There's a "good chance" the 1997 Legislature will seek to provide relief from local school prop­ erty taxes. But replacing the $10 billion a year they raise will be tough, a top lawmaker said Tuesday. "I don't know what the odds are that we can totally replace the local school property tax. I think that is a nuge undertaking," said Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-Mount Pleasant. Ratliff, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said there's no simple answer to Gov. George W. Bush's call for replac­ ing school property taxes. "When you shift a tax burden from one set of payers to another, you can call it reform. The peo­ ple w hose taxes go up d o n 't consider that reform," he said. The Republican governor has said he believes property taxes have reached a crisis. A Bush- appointed committee this week will wrap up a series of public hearings on possible alternatives. Ratliff said those hearings had "generated more heat than light" because "we re not getting a lot of truly constructive suggestions, other than a few people who are brave enough to suggest an income tax."

H e walked three batters in the first four innings, including the leadoff men in the second and fourth, but walked just one the rest of the way. He had five strikeouts through five innings and finished with eight. The Rockies hit the ball hard sev­ eral times. Vinny Castilla sent Raul Mondesi to the base of the right- field wall on a long fly ball in the fourth, and Mondesi hauled in Steve Decker's slicing liner in the fifth. Eric Young led off the sixth with another walk but was caught in a rundown. Nomo reached high to snag Ellis Burks' hot bouncer to end the inning. Andres Galarraga lined a pitch to right in the seventh — but directly at Mondesi. Nomo, who struck out Dante times, also con­ Bichette tributed at the plate, slapping an RBI three single in the eighth. With fans back home in Japan watching live on television, Nomo had any easy ninth, Young and Quinton McCracken both grounded to second. Burks, the NL player of the week, then struck out swinging for the final out. Nomo's teammates came out of the dugout to mob him, and the fans in Coors Field gave him a standing ovation. With San Diego losing, the Dodgers increased their NL West lead to 1> games with 11 to play. Ironically, the last game Nomo started at Coors Field, on June 30, he was battered for nine runs — five earned — in five innings. The Rock­ ies stole nine bases against him in a 16-15 win.

Now he’s trying to concentrate on winning one tough game. Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz looks skyward and checks the wind during pre-game drills in South Bend. Holtz has never won a game as a football coach in Austin. ASSOCIATED PRESS BRIAN DAVIS Daily Texan Staff Offense. Defense. Special teams. Blocking. Tackling. Discipline. Atti­ tude. Confidence. All of these parts help to make up the whole which is a Division T-A college football team. Somewhere along the line, every­ body needs someone with experi­ ence to explain the inner-workings of a football team and guide diem along the right coaching path. Back in the sum m er of 1965, a fresh-faced assistant at Connecticut was looking for someone to help him solve the great mysteries of col­ lege football. So w ith his mind m ade up, Lou Holtz packed his bags, took a blessing from his wife, and he set out to find the answers from Texas head coach Darrell Royal. 44 to lose four.” God didn’t put me on this earth Lou Holtz, Notre Dam head cm di re ferros is h¡s OS rsüúrü in Austin while coaching Arkansas. — Holtz, who was 26 at die time, paid his own way to come to Austin that summer. All he wanted to do was find the man who had built a football team from the ground up beginning in 1957 and turned it into a national championship power by '63. The timid Minutemen assistant scavenged the UT campus upon his arrival. Holtz was armed with a list of questions and had the tenacity of a pit bull. "When I gol there, I didn't know anybody," Holtz said. "I was walk­ ing around and I ran into (Royal's offensive coordinator] Bill Elling­ ton. I talked to him about the wing- T, and I told him that I had a list of questions for coach Royal. "He said that Royal was in the office at the time, so Bill took me into the office. I just pulled out the list, and he answered the questions straight from the list." Holtz asked Royal all of his 80 prepared questions, and by the time the six-hour visit was over, Holtz had lost all inhibitions he had about becoming a head coach. Royal sim­ ply missed his afternoon golf game. "I picked Royal because he had won the national championship in '63, and I liked the way thev ran the wing-T. I just liked their the style of offense and the way they did things." Holtz listened and learned. He picked up tihings on Royal's style of offense, Royal's style of defense, his special teams play, his blocking and tackling philosophies, his discipline and attitude — all the things that make up the inner-workings of a college football team.

The Aztecs out-executed the Horns to take the first game, and appeared to be running away with game two by taking a 5-0 advantage. But that was before Jane Winkel changed the whole complexion of the match. the bench, Coming off the junior middle blocker had three kills and four blocks in the span of 10 minutes to push Texas past the TEXAS VOLLEYBALL Aztecs in game two and eventual­ ly lead them to a 13-15, 15-9, 15-7, 16-14 victory. "As far as getting us back in the game, I think that had more to with the energy that we fed off of those plays," Winkel said. "We got into a groove and things just started working right." Demetria Sanee and Sonya Barnes also stepped it up for the Horns, as the typically steady pair had 21 and 17 kills, respectively. What many believed was the real key to Texas' triumph was the superb block that it put up against the Aztecs' powerful attack. SDSU All-American candidates Juliana Cezar, Martina Vitkova, and Ginger Ernest combined for 55 kills for the match, but they also committed 33 errors. Aztec coach Mark Warner believed that was directly related to the Horns' front line. "A good big Texas block is going to force you into some things," Warner said. "A block that always causes some like errors." H orns' coach Mick Haley agreed that the blocking perfor­ mance by the likes of Winkel, Barnes, and Katie Austin played a major role, and felt fortunate that his team was able to keep that kind of level for so long during the course of the match. "If they could have kept us out on the floor a little longer, they had a good chance to win the match," Haley said. "We're not strong enough to sustain five games yet with that kind of block- ^ ing the Toward the beginning of the night's action, it seemed as though SDSU would have no problems at all with the Texas defense. The Aztecs controlled tempo throughout the first game, finally winning the set on a pair of attack errors by Austin. They then fol­ lowed by opening the next game with five straight points, forcing Haley to make some substitutions. W inkel's contributions were obvious at that point, but what m ay have gone unnoticed to m any was the play of backup set­ ter Pavlina Steffkova.

Fiesty M’s frustrate Rangers again Associated Press SEATTLE — Can Seattle possibly do it again? After overcoming a 12 1 / 2-game deficit in the final six weeks to win the AL West the Mariners are staging another colos­ sal comeback this year. last season, On Tuesday night, the Mariners rallied with four runs in the sixth inrung to beat the first-place Texas Rangers 5-2 and close within four games of the division lead. "Experience helps, no question," Seattle manager Lou Piniella said. "W e're loose." The M ariners' biggest hit was Dave Hollins' go-ahead, two-run single in the sixth inning. "W e're just relaxed," said Terry Mulholland (5-2), who took a per­ fect game into the sixth and wound in 6 1-3 up allowing four hits innings. "W e don't have anything to lose. We don't have to look over our shoulders because nobody is chasing us." & 9 Seattle, which trailed by nine last gam es W ednesday, has gained five games in the standings in six days. The Mariners beat Texas for the second straight night and stretched their winning streak to six. With a sweep of the four-gam e series, Seattle would be two games back with 11 to play. The Mariners also moved past Chicago into second place in the AL wild-card race, three games behind Baltimore. Texas, try ing for its first postsea­ son appearance, has lost six of seven and is 7-9 in September. Seattle is 8- 3 against the Rangers this season, including 4-1 in the Kingdome. "This Seattle club is a club that you can't give them a crack," Texas m anager Johnny Oates said. "You leave the door open and they will come rushing in." After Texas scored two runs on its first three hits in the top of the sixth, the Mariners came back in the bot­ tom half, getting help when short­ stop Kevin Elster made an error that led to two runs. "I just screwed up, plain and sim­ ple," Elster said. In Texas' 6-0 loss on M onday night, third baseman Dean Palmer m ade a throwing error that led to Seattle's first two runs. So the AL's top fielding club has given up three unearned runs in two games of a critical four-game series.

I w as just happy that I chose Austin, Texas." U pon his arrival at Notre Dam e in 1986, H oltz took R oyal's answers and placed them in a box w ith his original list of 108 head coaching goals in a storage room. But because of a care­ less worker, the box was discarded during a seasonal cleaning session, leaving H oltz w ith on ly the answers that w ere perm anently locked in his head. H oltz came to A ustin in '65 to learn from a man w ho w ould go on to w in tw o more national titles before step­ ping dow n in 1976- N o w in 1996, H oltz returns Saturday know ing that his mentor has a perm anent place in college football history and his name on the w all of the stadium that he once was in aw e of. "T o go info that environm ent, it really made a very strong im pression on m e," H oltz said. N o longer star struck, H oltz and his No. 9 Fighting Irish are com ing to A ustin Saturday to. face the No. 6 Longhorns in a game that w ill help clear up the national cham pionship picture. Holtz, w ho is ho stranger to big games, is convinced that the Texas- heat and the hostile crowd are tw o things that help make Longhorn foot­ ball the tradition it has become. "G o ing dow n to Austin to p lay is very unique," Holtz said. "The locker rooms are not air conditioned. The fans get excited w hen they run that big Bevo out there, and it's just an air of excitement when Texas plays at hom e." Exciting it is, but is the atmosphere hostile? "A ustin, O hio State, Boston C ol­ lege and Alabam a art1 very intim idat­ ing places to p lay," Holtz said. " I w o u ld think that A u stin is like M iam i. You know you have a bad experience that you just w ant to put out of your m ind. M iam i and A ustin are just like that." 44 I’ve never seen a Texas team be this talented as they are at the skill positions.” — Lou Holtz, Notre Dome hood coach H oltz m ay feel that the A ustin crowd is ruthless, but that tradition­ ally hasn't bothered the Irish. Notre Dam e is 3-0 in A ustin and 7-2 lifetim e against Texas. The last tim e that Texas beat N otre Dam e was a 21-17 affair in the 1970 Cotton Bow l. U n for­ tunately for H oltz, he is 0-3 as a head coach w ith Arkansas in Austin. "G od d id n't put me on this earth to lose four," H oltz said of his winless streak. "T he heat does concern me, because w e don't have a lot of depth, and w ith the T V timeouts, it w ill be a long, hot d ay." H oltz is also very concerned w ith the Texas offense. The Longhorns' pro-style attack that Notre Dam e has tried to im plem ent this season has m any playm akers in skill positions who can do serious damage, H oltz believes. "O n offense, they rem ind me a lot of C olorado," H oltz said. "Colorado had Kordell Stewart, and [Texas] has a great athlete at quarterback. [C ol­ orado] had a Heism an Trophy w in ­ ner at running back. They have three. [Colorado] had a great w ide receiver named [M ichael] W estbrook. They have M ike Adam s.

Chryplewicz came close to skipping his senior season in favor of the NFL, but chose to return to the Irish, where he is coveted for his blocking and receiving skills. ND is weak at receiver, making Chryplewicz even more important. Jones has very little Division 1A experience after sit­ ting out 1995 with a broken leg. In his first extended playing time at this level, Jones and backup OLB Dwight Kirkpatrick will be largely responsible for keeping the ball out of Chryplewicz’s hands. — Mark Livingston, Daily Texan Staff season. Led b y quarterback Ron Pow lus, the Irish offense has flour­ ished by averag ing 230 yards through the air and 216.5 on the ground in tw o games. The Irish attack has been appropri­ ately dubbed the "B larn e y" offense. " I don't know w ho came up w ith the Blarney offense, but it d id n 't come from our office. M aybe the m edia made it up, but I know I d id ­ n 't." H oltz never said if he asked Royal about dealing w ith the media. If he did, that question probably ranked among the bottom of the list. But there is one thing that Holtz w ould like to ask the legendary Texas coach if given just one more chance. " I wished I'd asked him how to get a 3-handicap at 60 years old," Holtz adm itted. "H e 's a great golfer." R o yal's answ ers about offense, defense and special team s have helped Holtz go further in his career than questions about long drives and slick greens. H is 94-27-2 record at N otre Dam e is proof of that. "T o this day, I w ould like to talk to him about football and just life in general," H oltz said. Royal m ay not be the best expert for finding out the m eaning of life. But now, at the age of 59, H oltz may have found ju&t what he's alw ays been looking for. That's a place in college football history — just like his mentor. AUCTION Thursday S ep tem b er 19, 11:00 500 VFW Dr. off IH35 N (exit Braker Ln., take north bound service rd.)

"D en­ son's a slasher and K in d er is straight out speed." Edw ards was listed as question­ able because of a possible injury. Edw ards scored three touchdowns against Texas in 1995.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Horns: San Diego State University no match for Texas Continued from page 9 dimension to the Horns' offense that took a long time to get used to. "A ny time you change setters it's going to affect the tempo, and we never really adjusted to the new tem po," he said. "W e just couldn't quite sustain the level we needed to pull it off." Haley said the decision to insert Steffkova into the lineup was not because of dissatisfaction with starter Tammy Juergens, but rather it was because he felt that the shorter setter matched up well with SDSU. Steffkova's quickness paid off, as she even managed a crow d-pleasing block on Vitkova. "I really loved Pav's block," Haley said. "That was one major league block." The momentum had swung com­ pletely to Texas' side by game three, and the Aztecs were put away hand­ ily with the help of three late-game kills by Barnes. Sanee iced the game on a kill down the left side. SDSU made an effort to extend the match to an extra frame, as they bat­ the tled their way to an 9-7 lead midway through fourth gam e, and reached game point moments later. But Sarah Butler had a clutch kill to force a side out, and the Horns won the next three points to take the match on a service ace by Winkel. H aley's squad seem ed relaxed throughout the entire proceedings, and that appeared to have given them an edge over the clearly tense Aztecs. However, the coach was not always as composed as his players. "I thought we kept [composure] too much. The players are out there having a party and I'm having a coronary," Haley said. "It's 15-14 and it looks like they're talking about chocolate cookies or some­ thing. I just think we need to be more intense." ATTENTION STUDENTS!

Look for him to be around well into the next century. "R u b b ish ," is what owner Jerry Jones called reports of Sw itzer being a goner. "B a rry Sw itzer is m ore vital today than he was when he got here three years ago," Jones said Tues­ day. " I think of Barry Sw itzer coaching the C ow boys 10 years from now. He is my coach and my only coach for a long time to com e." Jones fueled the rumors him self w hen he said w asn't adding anoth­ er year five-year to Sw itzer's rollover contract. Instead, he was just letting it run. Jones admitted that was a mistake from a percep­ tion standpoint. "I'm not talking about rollovers," Jones said. " I 'm not biting that cheese any more. ... [The rollovers] are not appropriate for how I feel about Barry as a coach. He is more strongly entrenched than ever since he got here. H e's longer and stronger." Since replacing Jimmy Johnson, Sw itzer has taken the Cowboys to an NFC championship game loss to San Francisco and a Super Bowl win over Pittsburgh. The Cowboys have stumbled out of the gate with a 1-2 record this season. "B arry Switzer is young in spirit and has a very futuristic look to him ," Jones said of his 59-year-old coach. "B arry Switzer inspires me. He makes me want to push the envelope. He has a go-for-it atti­ tude." Switzer has been more assertive in his third full year as head coach. Only Monday, he chewed out the defense in a table-pounding session for their poor tackling in a 25-24 loss to Indianapolis, which overcame an is young in spirit and has a very futuristic look to him. [He] inspires me. He makes me want to push the envelope.” — Jerry Jones, Dotes Cowboys owner 18-point deficit. list "T h e re [for is no short Sw itzer's replacement] and never has been," Jones said. "I'm amazed where we get these things. Barry is working off the longest contract in the N FL." Jones said Switzer, a highly su c­ cessful coach at the University of O klahom a, has been u nderrated since he cam e to the Cowboys. "H is intellect is underestimated and his strategy on how to play football is underestim ated," Jones said. "H e has a fabulous record. H e's won a national collegiate championship. H e's won a Super Bow l." Switzer added: "I'v e told Jerry, 'A nytim e you w ant me to leave, I'll go with a smile on my face.' I've never felt any heat. I'm the happiest I've ever been in coaching." Jones, who has been stung by the Cow boys' poor start and criticism aim ed at Sw itzer, added, " I dig in real good when tim es are tough. I can assure you the Cow boys will go to m ore Super Bowls in the future." And, the way Jones was talking Tuesday, with Sw itzer as the coach until at least 2006. Jazz keep Stockton: 3 years, $15 million Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — John Stock­ ton, forsaking millions of dollars to finish his career in Utah, has agreed to a three-year, $15 million contract l á f i f k i L a I > m n il U IV JUA.Z.. The team said Tuesday the 34- year-c!d All-Star guard is to sien when he arrives in Utah for the start of training on Oct. 5. "W e 'r e pleased things have worked out and John plans to sign what will likely be his final NBA contract with the Jazz," team owner Larry M iller said. "H e has con­ tributed more to this franchise than numbers alone will ever tell." The value of the contract is m il­ lions below what Stockton could have made on the open market. But Stockton has said money is less im portant to him than other consid­ erations. The Jazz did not disclose terms of the contract but The Salt Lake Tri­ bune and Deseret News reported it at $15 million. Stockton said last season that he intended to re-sign with the Jazz and he hoped to finish out his career with the team that drafted him out of Gonzaga in 1984. Few team s believed Stockton would change his mind and, as a result, there was little bidding for his services. Only Miami inquired about his availability, the Tribune reported. "Jo h n 's com m itm ent to this orga­ nization is so strong, so focused and so fair," M iller said. The ow ner said that during nego­ tiations Stockton put the well-being of the tpam on a par with his own needs. "T h ere just aren't a lot of guys like John Stockton around any m ore," M iller said. Stockton has missed only four games in his 12-year career. He is the league's all-tim e leader in assists and steals. He is an eight-time All- Star and has won gold medals at the 1992 and 1996 Olympics. Stockton and Karl Malone have been the main reasons the Jazz have won at least 51 games in seven of the last eight seasons and have reached the W estern C onference finals three times since 1992. Miller said negotiations on a new contract were suspended m id-sea­ son last year so Stockton could con­ centrate on playing. Talks resumed after Stockton helped the United States win the gold medal in the Atlanta Olympics. Stockton was spending the final weeks of his summer vacation in his hometown of Spokane, Wash., and could not be reached for comment. Pirates manager Jim Leyland walks back to the clubhouse after answering questions about his promise to end his tenure as Pirates manager. ASSOCIATED PRESS Leyland to leave Bucs after ‘96 year. And Tony's done well in St. Louis." either we are or aren't in the market for a held m anager." Associated Press PITTSBU RG H — Pittsburgh Jim Leyland, Pirates m anager unhappy with ow nership-ordered trades and salary slashing, said Tuesday he will resign at the end of the season to pursue a job with a contending team. Leyland, a tw o-tim e NL manager of the year, said Aug. 29 he planned to honor a $1 million-a-year contract that ran through the 2000 season. But he changed his mind after real­ izing the Pirates may not contend again for years. " I t w asn't a tough decision, but it was a sad decision," said Leyland, who rebuilt a 98-loss team in 1986 into a three-time division champion only to see the roster dismantled for financial reasons. Leyland, 51, offered Tuesday to resign im m ediately, bu*t ow ner Kevin M cClatchy asked him to stay on for the rest of the season. Leyland will seek a job with a contender and is not interested in another rebuild­ ing situation. The Florida Marlins are rumored to be interested in hir­ ing him to replace John Boles. " If I have to sit out a year, I'll sit out a year to get the right situation," Leyland said. The Pirates have hot been above .500 since the team 's former owners allowed Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Doug Drabek to leave during or after the 1990-92 NL East title run. L ey lan d 's 11 seasons in P itts­ burgh make him the majors' senior m anager with the same club. " I think this is going to be my last shot," he said. "G o d bless Tommy [Lasorda] and Sparky [Anderson], but I'm not going to manage as long as they did." Pirates general m anager Cam Bonifay tried to dissuade Leyland from leaving. But M cClatchy, who recently ordered the team's top-paid players be traded for prospects, w ouldn't stand in Leyland's way. "L a st year in Oakland, they had new ownership that was going in a different d irectio n ," M cC latchy said. "T on y La Russa decided he didn't, want to stay on, and they hired Art Howe and he's had a good The Pirates recently traded top winner Denny Neagle, third base­ man Charlie Hayes and outfielder Dave Clark. They are looking to trade Jay Bell, Jeff King, Orlando Merced and Carlos Garcia as they cut their payroll from $21 million this season to $18 million in 1997. "T h at was kind of a shock," Ley­ land said. "C am and I sat down with Kevin to talk about signing free agents. He explained the situation I didn't go along with it, but I under­ stood it."

Dombrowski can't talk to Leyland until the Boles situation is addressed and, if the M arlins seek it, the Pirates give him permission to talk to Ley­ land. '1 don't know ," Dombrowski said when asked if he would contact Ley­ land. "I'll have to wait and see what I read and w hat is s a id .... I w on't see John until Friday. I'm sure w e'll visit and start talking." Leyland said his next team must be a contender, something the M ar­ lins have not been since they joined the NL in 1993. "I'm looking for a team that has a shot," Leyland said. " If not, I'll take my kids to school [next season] and fire my lawn man and do it m yself." Leyland made up his mind to quit during the Pirates' just-concluded 6- 5 West Coast trip. During the trip, pitching coach Ray Miller was told by m anagem ent he w as tree to leave. None of Leyland's other five coaches — Rich D onnelly, G ene Lament, Tommy Sandt, Milt May or Spin Williams — have been rehired. M cClatchy will leave the new manager's hiring to general manag­ er Cam Bonifay but retains the right to approve the selection. The Pirates have had only two m anagers — C huck Tanner and Leyland — for the last 20 seasons. Tanner managed them to a World Series championship in 1979 before leaving after the 1985 season. While Leyland led the Pirates to three straight NL East titles; they lost in the NL playoffs each year. Leyland was the NL manager of the year in 1990 and 1992. But the Pirates have not been above .500 since 1992 and are a combined 122- 171 — 49 games under .500 — over the last two seasons. "It's a sad day knowing he's not going to be the m anager of the Pirates any longer," outfielder A1 Martin said. "T h e last 12 days of the season aren't going to be any fun, but they'll be special."

Next in line on the hit parade is A1 Kaline, No. 19 at 3,007. As good as M olitor feels, and w ith his tendency for getting hurt having m ysteriously vanished, there is no telling how high he will climb up the ladder before calling it a career. “ I still enjoy m yself enough to w ant to play again next year, if I have that opportunity,” said Molitor, the 21st player to reach 3,000 hits. "I lean tow ards playing next year.” The milestone hit cam e in the fifth inning at 8:22 p.m., w ith Molitor lash­ ing Jose Rosado's fastball into the gap in right-center. The ball d ro p p ed betw een Rod M yers and Jon Nunnal- ly, an d m ight have been caught. Instead, it goes into the books as the only tim e anybody tripled for No. 3,000. "I'm not quite sure how m uch of a footnote it will be that I was the first guy to get a triple for m y 3,000th hit,” said Molitor, in his 19th season. "I think you get to a certain point w here you're n o t very choosy how or when, it s just the way the thing unfolded.” In typical Molitor fashion, he slid head-first then w as m obbed by team m ates w ho poured in from the dugout and bullpen.

M yers and N unnally both pulled u p at the last instant and the ball dro p ped cleanly. Official scorer Del Black hesitated only a few seconds before announc­ ing, "T hat's a three-base hit.” M yers, the center fielder, was responsible for calling for the ball. "That w as me, man, all the way,” he said. "It w as just so loud. I was going for it, trying to be aggressive. I d id n 't see Nun. I tried to catch it, and it fell in.” "The center fielder m akes the call,” N unnally said. "I have got to move. He d id n 't reali/.e I was that close, and it scared him .” M olitor has lost 592 gam es to injury during his career, but he hasn't missed a game this season, possibly h is first to play in all 162. H e's hitting .344 and leads the league in hits and m ultihit games. His historic hit came exactly three years to the day after Dave Winfield got No. 3,000. Like Molitor, Winfield w as bom in St. Paul, Minn., and was playing for the hom etow n T w ins at the time. Two of M olitor's friends and fel­ low m em bers of the 3,000-hit club w ere on hand to share the moment. Form er Royals star G eorge Brett (3,154) and former M ilwaukee Brew­ er Robin Yount (3,142) sat together in an upstairs suite.

"To be here and watch this will be etched in my m em ory for the rest of m y life,” said Yount, w ho played w ith Molitor for 15 years with the Brewers. Yount and Brett came dow nstairs to the Tw ins' clubhouse to congratu­ late their friend after his fifth-inning hit. "I do n 't remember all my birth­ days, but I will rem em ber this day for a long time,” Yount said. "I don't w ant to forget it.” Said Brett: "It w as fun to actually sit back and enjoy som ething like this as opposed to having the pressure of doing it.” Bettis’ start bodes well for season Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Jerome Bettis of the Pittsburgh Steelers knows he's going to have a good gam e w hen his first carry "feels like I'm running dow nhill.” The w ay he's running now — like Barry Foster in 1992 or Franco Harris in 1972 — he m ust feel like every carry is starting from atop M ount W ashington, the peak that looms over dow ntow n Pittsburgh. Bettis' 133 yards in the Steelers' 24- 6 dism antling of the Buffalo Bills on M onday gave him 306 three games, one of the best starts for any new Steelers runner in history. in Foster had a club-record 1,690 yards in 1992, Bill C ow her's first sea­ son as coach, but he w as a backup for tw o years. H arris gained only 79 yards on 26 carries in his first three gam es as a rookie before starting a stretch of six consecutive 100-yard games. Coach Bill C ow her said Bettis, the ex-Ram, has blended in just as well in locker the Steelers' business-first room as he has into their run-friendly offense. "H e 's a 'fit' here,” C ow her said, "H e 's a no-nonsense guy. H e's not a guy w ho stands out because he fits in w ith everyone else. H e's one of the guys w ho knows there's a difference betw een the time to play and the time to work. H e's just a natural fit for us.” It truly has been a fresh start in P ittsburgh for Bettis, w ho chased Barry Sanders for the NFL rushing title as a rookie in 1993 only to be dis­ carded by St. Louis for tw o negligible draft picks in April. Bettis became expendable after an injury-ham pered season in 1995 led to the Rams' controversial decision to draft N ebraska's Lawrence Phillips Bettis w as angered w hen the Rams all but gave aw ay a running back w ho ran for 2,454 yards in his first tw o NFL seasons. But he has refused to criticize them, just as he d id n 't last season w hen he often ran behind a m akeshift line. He also h a sn 't m entioned that Phillips, his replacement, has only 61 yards on 30 attempts. "I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody," said Bettis, w ho has 249 yards in his last two games. "I'm just trying to show i'm a capable back w hen I get the ball, and that's w hat w as missing last year. This is a great offense to be in for a running back." Especially, for a change, in prime time. "It really got me going to be on M onday night football for the first time," Bettis said. “The Rams didn't get on M onday night d u ring my three years there. Those producer guys d o n 't have much use for you w hen your team finishes 4-12 and 5- 11. " tw o Bettis scored tou ch dow n s M onday, one on a 43-yarder that was the Steelers' longest scoring run since a 69-yarder by Foster against Green Bay in 1992. Bettis looked like a m an intent not only on w inning a game, but proving a point. “ Y ou'd better tackle him early because If you don't, he gets a head of steam, and then he's tough to bring d o w n because h e's 240 or 250 p o u n d s,” said Bills' player M ark M addox. Bettis' consecutive 100-yard games against the Ravens (106 yards) and Bills have helped relieve the pressure on a Steelers' defense that w as forced to replace injured stars G reg Lloyd and Ray Seals even before Labor Day. Right now, the player Pittsburgh seems to miss the least is unsigned running back Bam Morris, whose off­ season legal troubles in Texas led to the Bettis trade. "Injuries and adversity are part of the gam e," C ow her said. "It isn't injury and adversity that knocks you dow n. It's how you deal w ith it.

It's not the two ligaments she tore in her left ankle moments before soaring to a triumphant final vault that lifted the U.S. women's gymnastics team to its first gold medal. The ankle is getting better, she said, and should be nearly healed when she joins Olympic silver medalist Jair Lynch, the husband-wife team of Olympic cham ­ pions Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci and others for the start of the World Gold Gymnastics Tour in Hart­ ford, Conn., on Oct. 26. What still hurts Strug is that while she left the Atlanta Games a hero, she also left without what she went there for in the first place. "I mean I'm ecstatic that the team won the gold medal, thats a dream come true, but at the same time I'm still missing something," Strug said at a news conference Tuesday to announce the 24-city, two-month national tour. "For a number of years my goal was to win an individ­ ual medal. One of my goals was to medal individually and because I got injured I wasn't able to try for that." The diminutive 18-year-old was the top American con­ tender in Atlanta in both the floor and exercise events. After her injury Strug received treatment and contin­ ued to work on her routines for the next few days, hoping she could still compete. But on the day the individual competition started, the team doctor told Strug her Olympics were over. "That is something that will always be there, always saying that I wish that I could have done that," Strug said. "It [the Olympics] did not quite turn out the way I had always planned it out in my mind, but those were the cards that I was dealt with."

After surviving Hurricane Hortense, Puerto Rican out to battle Whitaker Associated Press MIAMI — Puerto Rican welterweight W ilfredo Rivera survived Hurricane Hortense when it ravaged his hom e­ land. Now he's braced to face another fearsome natural wonder — Pernell Whitaker. Rivera will meet the WBC welterweight champion Friday night in a rematch of their April 12 bout, which W hitaker won. Despite the stakes, the fight was Rivera's secondary concern last week, when Hortense battered Puerto Rico with 110-mph winds and heavy rain. Fourteen Puerto Ricans were killed and thousands were left homeless. Rivera was training in Carolina, Puerto Rico, when the storm hit, and his hotel escaped damage. But for four days he worried about the fate of his family in nearby Rio Piedras. "It was difficult concentrating on the fight while this was going o n ," he said Tuesday. Rivera's foremost concern was for his pregnant wife and their 1-year-old daughter. He finally learned through his brother that his wife and child were fine, and he reunited with them briefly before departing for Miami. They'll arrive for the fight Thursday, along with Rivera's parents. vate m yself," he said. "O nce I knew my family was OK, it helped me moti­ Rivera has yet to see his house, which was damaged by the hurricane. Repair work, he said, will wait until after the fight. Rivera (23-1-1 with 14 knockouts) lost a controversial split decision last spring to a heavily favored Whitaker (38-1-1, 16 KOs). Because the bout was close, the WBC mandated the rematch. "I was very sure I won that fight,” Rivera said. " I was more sure when I saw the videotape than when I was in the ring. Everyone who saw the fight, that was their con­ clusion." Whitaker disagrees but says he eagerly awaits the rematch. " I didn't know anything about my opponent the last time I fought him ," said Whitaker, 32. "T h is fight is going to be extra special. You people are going to get a treat, because you ’re going to get the best of Pernell W hitaker." Rivera, 27, also expects to be at his best. He has dedi­ cated the fight to his fellow Puerto Ricans, who face many months of recovery from Hortense. Joyner-Kersee to play hoops in new league Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Jackie Joyner-Kersee is certain she can make the switch from heptathlon to hoops, although she doesn't know how much her track training will help. " I can run up and down the court forever," Joyner-Kersee said Tuesday at a newys confer­ ence confirm ing she'll play in the new Am eri­ can Basketball League. "B u t it's different when you've got a ball in your hand." Joyner-Kersee, who won Olympic gold medals in 1988 and 1992, will play for the Richmond Rage. Her husband and track coach, Bob Kersee, was confident his wife could compete in both sports. "She's been the queen of track and field, and now she can return to her true court — basketball," he said. Financial term s of the deal were not dis­ closed, but Joyner-K ersee said she would play 28 to 35 games of the Rage's 40-gam e regular- season schedule. That would allow her to com ­ pete in the long jum p and to continue making public appearances. "I'm just finishing where I started," said Joyner-Kersee, 34. "M an y people don't realize that I started out playing basketball." Joyner-K ersee, 5-foot-10, w as a four-year starter at forward for UCLA before she becam e an Olym pic star. She averaged 9.6 points and 6.2 rebounds and was a first-team all Western College Athletic Conference choice in 1985. Kersee said his wife had been approached about playing basketball a number of times over the years, including an offer in 1989 to play in Europe. But the time was never right. "T h is year, prior to the Olympic Games, we started thinking about it ag ain ," he said. "W hen we heard about the ABL and what it was doing for w om en's sports, we decided to consider it." Atlanta Olympics she would like to play basketball again. Gary Cavalli, co-founder and vice president of the eight-team women's basketball league, was watching the interview and couldn't believe it. "The next morning we got on the phone with her," said Cavalli, who is counting on Joyner- Kersee to add credibility and attention to the fledgling league, which begins play in mid-Octo­ ber. Joyner-Kersee said she looked at four teams, including Atlanta, Portland and San Jose, but decided on Richmond after watching the Rage practice last week. "T h e chemistry was there," she said. "A nd the trip was easy back and forth to St. Louis." There was also Rage point guard Dawn Sta­ ley, who helped lead the United States to a gold medal in Atlanta. "She told me that if I decided to play on a team to com e to R ichm ond ," said Joyner- Kersee, who is to report to Richmond this week and begin practice next week. Tammy Holder, general manager of the Rage, said the team's coach liked Joyner-Kersee's com­ petitiveness. "Rebounds, leadership, defense, putting the ball in the hole — those are the things we feel Jackie can help us w ith," Holder said. "W e want to show the world that some of her best moves are yet to com e." Joyner-Kersee won the heptathlon in the 1988 and 1992 Olympics and the gold medal in the long jump in 1988. She won a silver medal in the long jump in 1992 and a silver in the heptathlon in 1984. Recovering from the hamstring injury, she aban­ doned her bid for a third straight heptathlon gold medal in Atlanta last month. She withstood the pain to capture the bronze in the long jump " I feel pretty good ," she said. " I have been jumping and doing a little bit of running, w eightlifting." Actually, the ABL came courting after Joyner- Kersee said dunng a television interview at the The basketball venture, how ever, m eans postponement of plans to have a child.

T h e y 'v e released almost all their albums on the band's ow n D ill Records label and has since branched out to begin producing and distribut­ ing o th e r S a n Francisco-area musicians as well. W h a t's more, Skankin' Pickle survived a b lo w more powerful than H u lk Hogan's piledriver this summer when founding member and frontman M ike ' Bruce Lee" Park left the band. "H e 's starting his ow n record company, doing his ow n thing," explains Lundquist. "I'm the only one who's still on a personal level with him ," he says, although the band states that the split was ami­ cable in their fan club newsletter. Park, D ill R eco rd s' founder, w'as probably the least likely can­ didate to leave the band, especial­ ly since the band has been p lay­ ing musical bass chairs over the previous year, finally settling on Jay Vance. Park, however, aban­ doned his enterprise. "H e turned over all the rights to it," Lundquist says. "It's survived." Fans might be apt to question that, especially since the band's latest release was their first not to be p ut out on D ill. The Green Album, w ith packaging and con­ cept poking fun at the differently- hued Beatles classic, is out on Dr. Strange Records. Park states in the album's liner notes, however, that the idea was all Dr. Strange's. "N o, we have not left Dill! W e w ill alw ays be on Dill. This was ju st a fu n p ro ject that n e v e r w ould have been released if Bill from Dr. Strange h a d n 't called us," Park writes. The Green A l b u m began as a simple concept. Each member of the band w o u ld pick a song to co ver, and that band m em b er would sing on the recording. Predictably, the concept led to some pretty interesting results. F o r instance, d ru m m e r C h u ck Phelps chose Klark Kent's / Don't Care (Kent w as a side project of P o lic e S te w a rt d ru m m e r Copeland). But Chuck, bless his heart, just can't sing, a fact that he and the b and u n a b a s h e d ly acknowledge. Alongside the cov­ ers are some Skankin' Pickle orig­ inals, added in the last stages of recording. Since most record stores charge full price for EPs, Dr. Strange and the band agreed to go ahead and make it a full length. The band's best are Ties That Bind, Gas In M y Car, and M y Hair. A ll are fun, peppy, and as usual, sound very little like an ything else th e y 've recorded. Lundquist's selection is typical of his fre n z ie d e n e rg y, Bad Brains' Pay To Cum. He's as capa­ ble of tooting his horn on bobbing ska tunes as he is screaming his lungs out here. L u n d q u ist also demonstrated his ability live, get­ ting up on stage w ith op ening band The Faggz for a ripping ver­ sion of Land Shark. One of the best covers on the album is D e v o 's Gates O f Steel, selected by g u ita ris t L y n e tte K n a c k ste d t.

"L y n e tte 's been p layin g w ith them for a fe w m o n th s n o w ," Lundquist says. She can do more than just play the instrum ents, too. W h e n the band's bass turned up missing, L y n e tte h elp e d p ut tog ether a new one. "She's an all-around excellent m u s ic ia n ," said B re tt S m ith , recently acquired d ru m m er for The Faggz. "Sh e plays w ith her heart. There's none of that rock school stuff." H e provides an apt description of not just K nackstedt, but the whole band. Talented as they are, S k a n k in ' P ic k le w o u ld h a v e flunked out of rock school and been proud to do so.

Set in 19th century London, Sweeney Todd describes the woeful tale of a barber (M ichael York), unjustly imprisoned by a corrupt judge (Steven From holz) w ith lecherous designs on his virtuous, angelic wife. Years later, the em bittered barber, under the p seu d o nvm of S w e e n e y Todd, e s c a p e s back to London only to discover his wife has committed suicide and his daughter Johanna (A m y Stinson) has been virtu ally imprisoned as a ward in Judge Turpin's house. Seeking refuge in his form er barbershop u n d e r the care of the eccen tric cook M rs. Lovett (Jacki Roach), Todd vow s a deadly jus­ tice for the judge and his stodgy conspirator, The Beadle (Scotty Turpin). M a n ia c a lly b ound to exact his revenge, Todd murders almost anyone w ho gets in his way, or more specifically, who gets in his bar­ b er c h a ir. W it h c a d a v e rs to h id e and no m oney to put food on the table, Todd and Lovett strike up the most enterprising of part­ nerships: Todd provides the casualties; Lovett makes them into delicious "m eat pies" that are, literally, to die for. A lth o u g h the business is a w ild success, and Todd's goals of retribution are soon to be won, the barber cannot be satisfied. The body count rises until there can be no reprieve; for the D em on Barb er of Fleet Street, the o n ly tragic dow nfall he causes is his own. If it sounds off-color, that's because it is. Part E d g a r A lla n Poe, part Jonathan Sw ift, Sweeney Todd has a darkly comic bite rarely felt in musical theater. Besides being the only theater SWEENEY TODD Starring: Joe York, Jacki Roach, Dan Sulli­ van, Amy Stinson, Matt Brown, Cathie Sheri­ dan, Steve Fromholz, Scotty Roberts, Neal Gibson Director: Don Toner At: Live Oak, 719 Congress Ave. Date: through Oct. 6 Admission: $16-18 (call 472-5143) Sondheim musical to carry the coda "musical thriller,' it distinguishes itself not by its w it or its tragedy, but by its unconventional blend­ ing of both. Director Don Toner has assembled a talent­ ed cast, led impressively by York as the fanat­ ica l b arb er. S o n d h e im 's ra n g e- stre tch in g songs rank among the hardest to sing in musi­ cal theate», and although a few of the voices do strain to make it over the first twenty rows, most of the cast zealously belt it out. N u m b ers like The Ballad o f Sw eeney Todd and C ity on Fire put a chill in the bones with their dark, discordant choruses. Lo vett and Todd's ode to cannibalism, A Little Priest, is a w r y , tongue-in-cheek rom p. A n d thou gh lovestruck Anthony H ope's (D an Su llivan 's) syru p y ballad to Tod d 's daughter Johanna, appropriately titled Johanna, sounds a bit too m uch lik e pop era (th in k W e s t Side S to ry 's M aria crossed with Kool & the Gang's latter day Joanna), his gorgeous tenor voice makes up for it. Jo e Y o rk an d D on T o n e r's t e c h n ic a lly detailed set design is effective, especially for Sweeney Todd (Joe York) prepares to give Judge Turpin (Steven Fromholz) a really close shave in Live Oak Theatre’s Sweeney Todd. such an elaborate, demanding show (victims slide d ow n chutes, are th ro w n in to ovens, etc.). Yet Live Oak's new dram atically raked stage m akes one feel as if the w h o le cast m ight go s lid in g into the au d ien ce at any moment. If you are a Sondheim fan, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to catch one of his great­ est, most intellectually and visually fascinat­ ing shows live. If you 're a m usical theater fan, you s h o u ld n 't m iss this chance to let Austin's underutilized vocal talent w o w you. And if you're neither, you should still think about going.

W A S H IN G T O N — Continuing a downward trend that,began in 1994, the number of violent crimes in the United States fell more than 9 per­ cent the governm ent reported Tuesday. last year, "W e have moved from gridlock to solutions that w ork," said Attorney General Janet Reno. There were nearly 9.9 m illion vio­ lent crimes in 1995, 1 m illion fewer than the previous year, according to the prelim inary estimates by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The final report w ill be out next spring. * Crim e has become a dominant issue in the presidential election campaign. Republican Bob Dole on M onday proposed an anti-crime package w hile President Clinton basked in the endorsement of a major police organization. Clinton, campaigning in Michigan on Tuesday, called the 9 percent drop in violent crimes the largest in a decade. "I'm not declaring victory against crime," he said. "I'm just saying we're moving in the right direction and what we need to do is not to abandon the present course, but to bear down and The picture of violent crime in Amer­ ica last year, compared with 1994: ■ Rape decreased almost 18 per­ cent, from 432,700 to 354,670. ■ Robbery fell 14 percent, from 1.3 m illion to 1.1 million. ■ Assault declined 8 percent, from 9.1 m illion to 8.4 million. Attacks with injuries fell 24 percent, from 678,500 to 516,500. ■ Purse snatching and pocket picking were down 18 percent, from 488,930 to 402,590. The number of property crimes declined 5.6 percent last year, down 1.7 m illion to 29.3 million. The rate of burglaries, theft, and theft of motor vehicles was 288 per 1,000 households, down from 308 per 1,000 in 1994. The decline in the number of violent crimes began two years ago, interrupt­ ing a rising trend that existed since the rrud-1980s, said Jan Chaiken, director of the Justice Department's Bureau of Jus­ tice Statistics. The economy and the aging of the population figure in the reductions, say criminologists such as Jack Levin of Northeastern University in Boston. "The baby boomers have matured into their 30s and 40s," he said. "They are rhellowing out, perhaps aging gracefully, and they are graduating out of high risk violence and property crimes into white collar crimes, fraud and embezzlement." James Fife, Temple University crim­ inal justice professor, noted that "right now we are at the point where there aren't a lot of people in the crime- prone years, 16-24. But we can expect in the next 10 years crime rates w ill increase significantly." At the same time, he said, "The better the economy, the less violent we are." Fife also praised Clinton's efforts, saying, "Clinton is the first U.S. presi­ dent in my lifetime who actually lis­ tened to the criminologists and cops. He also has more former state and local police and criminal justice officials in policy-making positions than any other president." Cnminologjsts consider the Bureau of Justice Statistics survey to be a reliable indicator of crime in America, since it includes crimes not reported to police.

ASSO C IA TED PRESS Nation of Islam gathering rappers Associated Press N E W YO RK — The Nation of Islam is gathering some of the biggest rap stars to discuss how to promote peace in the wake of Tupac Shakuris death. The "day of atonement" will take place Sunday at Mosque No. 7 in Harlem, said Minister Conrad Muhammad, the Nation of Islam's New York representative. "There's nothing we can do to bring Tupac back, but there are tens of thousands who admire him," Muhammad said Monday. "This meeting is to gtye some clarity to his life so they won't immortalize the worst of him and try to imitate that." Muhammad said that confirmed participants include Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, and his producer Sean "P u ffy " Combs," A Tribe Called Quest; for­ mer Public Enemy frontman Chuck D; hip-hop pioneers D J Kool Here and Afrika Bambaataa; and actors Malik Yoba and N'Bushe Wright. The meeting, Muhammad said, would call for rap fans "to atone for the self-destructive, genocidal lifestyle that has claimed one of the potentially most brilliant black artists we have ever produced." Shakur, whose violent "gangsta" raps sold millions of albums, died six days after being caught in a drive-by shooting Sept. 7 in Las Vegas. No arrests have been made; police continue to investigate but nave few' clues. Muhammad noted that rapping originated as a way for gangs to compete without violence. "Crews battled each other break- dancing and rapping on the mike to get away from killing each other," he said. "The irony is that 15 years later, hip hop has become gangsterized." Doctors testing artificial blood Associated Press W A S H IN G T O N — Trauma patients rushed to Chicago's Cook County Hospital soon may awaken to discover they're pioneers in the search for artificial blood, as a red liquid that looks like real blood — but isn't — drips into their veins. Doctors at Cook County and 20 other emergency rooms nationwide later this fall w ill begin the first mass testing of a potential substitute for human blood. That w ill involve 850 patients. A competing firm is seek­ ing government approval to test hundreds of additional patients. No one expects these first attempts to supplant nature. But the hope is that artificial blood will save lives when doctors run short on the real stuff. "If blood is unavailable, and that does happen, this provides a bridge until you can get it," said Richard DeWoskin of Northfield Laboratories Inc., which is trying to get approval for tests. DeWoskin expects artificial blood one day to help in the military, devel­ oping countries and in the "urban bat­ tlefield" of inner cities. to be But some experts are skeptical. There are health risks from the substitute tested, Baxter HealthCare's HemAssist, some sci­ entists believe. It raises blood pres­ sure through complex blood vessel changes that Dr. Gerald Sandler, director of Georgetown University Medical Center's blood bank, fears could cause harm. The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, is examining some reports that artificial blood might shut down the body7s capillary' system. "W e don't want to impose upon the public something that could be more dangerous" than today's over­ whelm ingly safe blood donations, Joseph Fratantoni, the said Dr. FD A 's hematology chief. "Caution is the word here." Former cadet faces capital m L l A X 1 J L J L V i JL V t .rder charges ____ u Associated Press FO RT W O R T H , — The charge against former A ir Force Academy cadet David Graham was upgraded from murder to capital murder Tues­ day, authorities said. The change raises the possibility of the death penalty if Graham, 18, of Mansfield is convicted of the Decem­ ber killing of 16-year-old Adrianne Jones, also of Mansfield. In the confession that authorities say they obtained last week, Graham said that he and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Diane Zamora of Fort Worth, also charged in the death, decided to lure Jones out to his car and then drive her out near Joe Pool Lake so he could "break her young neck." "Kidnapping is the aggravating ele­ ment that raises it from murder to cap­ ital m urder," said lead prosecutor Mike Parrish, a Tarrant County assis­ tant district attorney. If Graham lured Jones into the car by deception, that could be kidnap­ ping, Parrish has said. Graham and Zamora, a former mid­ shipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, are accused of killing Jtines out of rage and jealousy at a sexual encounter the victim supposedly had with Graham. Graham and Zamora are both in the Tarrant County jail awaiting trial. Gra­ ham's bond was raised Tuesday from $100,000 to $250,000, the same as Zamora's, Pamsh said. Judge narrows defense’s right to claim racism SA N T A M O N IC A , Calif. — A judge made the civil trial a tougher battle for O.J. Simpson Tues­ day, allowing testimony about domestic violence and lim iting his ability to claim a racist frame-up led by Detective M ark Fuhrman. The frame-up claim carried the day at Sim p­ son's murder trial, but Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki decided to bar discussion of Fuhrman's alleged racism unless other testimony makes the detective's motivation an issue. In a day of rulings favoring the plaintiffs in the wrongful death lawsuit, the judge also refused to bar testimony on domestic violence in Simpson's marriage with Nicole Brown Simpson. Simpson won one big victory, permission to show jurors videotaped testimony from Dr. Henry Lee, the scientific expert who helped win his acquittal on crim inal charges of murdering Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman. But Fujisaki said he would not allow Lee to expound on how Los Angeles police could have collected more evidence. "This is not a case of malpractice," the judge said. "W hether or not additional evidence could have been collected is not the point. The point is whether evidence collection inculpates Mr. Sim p­ son or not." The Fuhrman ruling may not be too significant because jurors certainly already heard about the detective's role through coverage of the criminal trial, Loyola Law School Dean Laurie Levenson said. the upscale seaside town of Santa Monica rather than downtown Los Angeles. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Wednesday for the trial, which is expected to last four to six months. Simpson was not in court Tuesday; he was in Orange County for closed-door testimony in a custody battle over the two children he had with Nicole. The Goldman family, which is joining Nicole Sim pson's estate in suing Simpson, watched Fujisaki reject defense motions by adm itting domestic violence evidence, recordings of 911 tapes in which Simpson's ex-wife reported threats of violence and out-of-court statements in which she expressed a fearful state of mind. Fujisaki also said he w ill not let jurors tour the murder scene or Simpson's home because he fears a media circus. Defense attorney Robert Baker objected, saying jurors would be unable to perceive from pictures how small the area was in which the murders occurred. But the judge was unmoved. "W e 're not going to do that," he said. Legal experts said the plaintiffs were the day's big winners. "These are important rulings," Levenson said. "The plaintiffs will be able to put on a picture of O.J. Simpson as a person capable of domestic violence." Levenson said the rulings were not unexpected, but said that allowing 911 calls and domestic abuse evidence strengthens the plaintiffs' position. "Every word of Nicole's they can bring back from "You almost don't need to mention it," she the grave is helpful to the plaintiffs," she said. said. "W e all know about it anyw ay." Furthermore, the jury selected to hear the law ­ suit is expected to be very different from the group that heard the criminal case, chosen from The judge did not immediately rule on a plain­ tiffs' plan to call psychologists who would use so- called "psychological profile evidence" to draw a portrait of Simpson as a classic spousal killer. AS SOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO O.J. Simpson is shown arriving at a private funeral for his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson with his daughter Sydney, 8, and his son Justin, 6, in this June 16, 1994, file photo. The defense objected that the testimony is not based on any sound scientific theory. He agreed to let Simpson mention his generos­ ity and benevolence toward Nicole Simpson's fam ily only if his character becomes an issue in the case. Plaintiffs would then be allowed to counter such evidence with testimony about issues such as past drug use and infidelity. Police officer convicted of sexually assaulting child Associated Press SA N A N T O N IO — A police offi­ cer accused of having sex with a runaway teen-age boy dressed in wom en's clothing was convicted Tuesday of sexual assault and inde­ cency with a child. Jurors later sentenced officer Bobby Joseph Spicer to 10 years' probation and fined him $10,000. He could have faced up to 20 years in prison. The case involved a 15-year-old Austin boy, reported as a runaway in drag, who was and dressed picked up by Spicer. The teen-ager testified the officer promised to release him if he performed a sexual act on him. The teen-ager claim ed Spicer threatened to harm him if he told anyone about the Feb. 13 encounter. Spicer, 44, was arrested Feb. 21 after a police investigation of the boy's claim that the officer had sex with him in a school parking lot. The officer was suspended with pay after the incident. drove him to a njofel where the boy's friends were staying. Defense attorney Paul Goeke claimed the 15-year veteran officer was set up by a band of cross-dress­ ing prostitutes. Spicer denied engaging in sexual activity with the boy. He said he gave him a warning then instead of taking him to a juvenile facility "Prostitutes have a natural enemy — piilice officers," Goeke told the jury in closing arguments. "This was a setup."
