Park said she was sexually harassed by Joseph Lopreato, a professor of sociology, who adamantly denies the charges. T have very serious concerns about the way the University handles sexual harassm ent complaints," said Park, a 1997 sociology graduate. The sexual harassment poli­ cy, updated in 1988, is already being revised, said Patricia Ohlendorf, vice provost, who insists that Park's case was han­ dled properly. "There's a new committee that deals with issues for women on the campus and the policy has been put on the agenda," she said. UT Interim President Peter Flawn appointed 15 faculty members and staff to the Committee for the Support of Women two m onths ago, Ohlendorf said. Park, 30, claims that in the fall of 1996, while taking a one- on-one conference course with Lopreato, 69, she was subjected to unsolicited details of his rela­ tionships with young women, including a former student. She also claims that Lopreato: provided her with lewd and graphic details about his rela­ tionships; inquired about her romantic status and whether her boyfriend was a good lover; commented about her appear­ ance and figure; asked when she was planning to Jiave chil­ dren; invited her to dinner and on a 10-day trip to Italy. Lopreato, who has been at the University for 32 years, denies sexuaily harassing Park or another female student who filed a similar complaint last year. The accusations "are false in my opinion and in the opinion of many others," said Lopreato, who is tenured. U nder UT policy, sexual harassm ent is defined as "unwelcome sexual advances or requests tor sexual favors, or other verbal or physical con­ duct of a sexual nature," which m Jodi Park, right team a Wast Mall prats coaftraaca. Andrew L m I— w/DAILY T EX A N STAFF Fighting for time Graduate students oppose ^-h o u r1 law Daily Texan Staff Graduate students are looking for ways to lessen the effects of a law that will allow the University to charge nonresident tuition to students who have more than 99 doctoral hours. Beginning in September 1999, the 99-hour law will replace current rules that end state funding for courses after a graduate student tops 130 hours. In-state graduate students now pay $102 per semester hour and out- of-state residents pay $316. Denise Gobert, a member of the Graduate Student Assembly, said the law is a Catch-22 for graduate students. "Many graduate students feel betrayed," Gobert said. "It's as if the Legislature feels we are a bunch of slackers. That is not the case. Many of us feel we have to rush research to graduate on time, but at the same time we want quality research." Kim Nixon, graduate student repre­ sentative of the UT Student Government and a member of the GSA, said students are lobbying the Legislature and working on resolutions to present to the UT Faculty Council. But Pam Scott, an aide to Sen Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, who co-sponsored the bill, said the law isn't unreasonable. "The reason for this law is that stud­ ies show that a student should be able to complete doctoral programs in under 1Ó0 hours," Scott said. Gobert said a task force of admin­ istrators and GSA members is being organized to find ways for the University to deal with the law. "The law is going to happen," Gobert said. "We want to find ways to make it friendlier on our campus." The amount of hours needed to earn a doctorate degree varies by field, said John Dollard, associate dean of Graduate Studies. The aver­ age 1995-96 doctoral student gradu­ ated with 86.5 hours, he said. Of the 795 students receiving doc­ torate degrees in 1995-96, 249 had more than 99 hours upon gradua­ tion, he added. Dollard said it is possible some of those students would have graduat­ ed faster if the 99-hour rule had been in effect. "There are some cases where a student decides to take a few more hours before graduation or some students might want to wait until they publish another paper before they go on to the job market," said Dollard, who calls the law "unfortu­ nate." "However some students' work really does take that long," he added. Ray Grasshoff, public information officer for the Texas H igher Education Coordinating Board, said UT staff rallies for higher pay Daily Texan Staff Shouting "Show us the money/' and "Dear Dr. Cunningham, I want my 16 percent raise, too," about 150 students and staff ral­ lied for better staff wages at a West Mall protest Thursday. The rally, organized by the U niversity Staff A ssociation, came days after a report by the Texas Faculty Association that showed UT System Chancellor William Cunningham received $99,000 in raises during the last two budget years, increasing his annual salary to $350,000. UT System officials have defended Cunningham's salary, saying the raises were needed to bring his earnings to a compara­ ble level with other chancellors across die nation. Staff members at the rally com­ plained that living on what the University pays is tough. Lynn Broz, an administrative assistant for 17 years, said she lost her house because she couldn't meet die payments. • "I worked three extra jobs for three years so that I could pay die bills," she said. "I lost the house and my three children were terri­ bly traumatized because of it." The staff association is petition­ ing for higher wages. A compen­ sation study, commissioned by UT administrators, showed last year that 94 percent of UT staff were paid below the market aver­ age in A ustin for com parable positions. "As soon as we get 5,000 signa­ tures we are going to take the petition to the Legislature, we're taking it to the Board of Regents, and w e're going to say: If you w ant our productivity, if you want our excellence, and if you want our vote, then pay attention and address this issue," Peg Kramer, president of the University Staff Association, said. Incoming UT President Larry Faulkner said Thursday that the study validates staff complaints, but solving the problem will be difficult. "You have to work w ith the structure of the budget. We either get new funding or stop funding something else," Faulkner said in an interview. "I don't have any doubt that the complaints are real, and I think die University is going to have to work on this problem." Faulkner said administrators would begin formulating a strategy to deal with die complaints after a second study with more detailed information is finished in late April. that it w ould cost Charles Franklin, vice president for Business Affairs, has estimat­ ed the University about $10.6 million to bring the staff to a minimal salary level for the Austin market. He said bringing it up to the average would cost even more. Kramer said the staff isn't ask­ ing for an extravagant raise, just RALLY/Page 2 Cal Hill, a UT Gaaaral Librarlas aloagside his co-werfcers at a West Mall rally. Clinton decries testimony leak; Jordan denies improprieties WASHINGTON — P resident Clinton denounced die leak of his sw orn testim ony about Monica Lewinsky on Thursday, while presi­ dential friend Vernon Jordan denied his assistance to Clinton's former intem had any sinister motive. Jordan, a prominent lawyer and Clinton confidant, said that while he kept the president apprised of his effort to find Lewinsky a lawyer and a job, he was not trying to influence a statement she filed in the Paula Jones case denying a sexual rela­ tionship with Clinton. "I did not in any way tell her, encourage her, to lie. ... My efforts to find her a job were not a quid pro quo for the affidavit she signed," Jordan said after finishing a second day erf grand jury testimony. Cliatoa In a busy day at the federal court- house, nearly overshadowed by the surfacing of Clinton's deposition, Lewinsky's lawyers also met in pri­ vate with the chief judge as they tried to compel prosecutors to give her full immunity in exchange for her cooperation. While none of Lew insky's lawyers would comment on the purpose of die hearing before U.S. District Judge Norma H ollow af Johnson, lead attorney William Ginsburg has contended that his client has a valid deal with prosecu­ tor Kenneth Starr for limited immu­ nity in return for her téstimony. Starr ha& contended there is no deal. As he left the courthouse, the nor­ mally talkative Ginsburg said he would not comment, saying "I fol­ low court rules. That's not unlike me at all." Two individuals familiar with Clinton's deposition, given in con­ nection with Jones' sexual harass­ ment suit, said he acknowledged under oath that he and Jordan dis­ cussed efforts to find a job for Lewinsky. But he denied in the deposition that he had a sexual relatio n sh ip w ith the form er intern. In a brief exchange with reporters at the White House, Clinton refused to discuss his answers in the deposition. "The court has made it absolutely clear it is illegal to leak and discuss it. I'm going to follow the law. That's what I wish everyone else would do," Clinton said. The president's private lawyers were poised to file papers in Little Rock, Árk., with US.

Lopreato said the UT sexual harass­ ment code is too severe. "What the policy amounts to is that if the student says a hostile environ­ ment has been created, and [the envi­ ronment] could have been foreseen by a professor, it's sexual harassment," Lopreato said "Any student who has a grievance of another kind could say that a hostile environment has been created— that's a subjective thing." Lopreato said Park misinterpreted his actions, including the invitation to Italy, which was ajoke. In April 1997, the University repri­ manded Lopreato tor unprofessional and inappropriate behavior, said Susan Bradshaw, associate counsel for the University. A written reprimand was placed in Lopreato's file, ne was required to take a sexual harassment training course and was banned from engaging in one-on-one supervision or conferences w ith fem ale students for a year, Bradshaw said Ohlendorf said Lopreato was excused from the sexual harassment training course because he had worked closely with an attorney who specializes in the area. Former UT Provost Mark Yudof had decided that Lopreato received sufficient exposure to sexual harassment training, she said But Park said the reprimand was "I am extremely disappointed that the University has again not done any­ thing to condemn the sexual harass­ ment committed by Professor Lopreato," Park said Rally Continued from page 1 enough to get ahead and allow them to pay their bills on time. "We're not even asking to be paid what we're worth. If we are going to be treated as the valuable resources that we are to the cam­ pus com m unity, we can't allow ourselves to be silent any longer," she said. Members of the staff association have discussed unionizing to have their demands met. Some UT professors also spoke in support for higher staff wages at the rally. And students at the rally said they were shocked at the staff wage problem. "I believe the staff are severely underpaid," said Melissa Guerra, a public relations junior. "It's just not fair that athletic directors and coaches get paid so much. The ex­ football coach is getting so much for not even being a coach any­ more, while the people who actual­ ly work hard aren't getting much at all.

Onoe the resolution was made pub­ lic, another former student of Lopreato, who w ishes to remain anonym ous, subm itted a sexual harassment complaint. The University conducted a 10- month investigation and announced last week that Lopreato's actions did not violate the UT sexual harassment policy. "I regret that the foe complainants aren't happy with foe penalty issued," Bradshaw said. "Professor Lopreato's conduct was deemed inappropriate and unprofessional but did not consti­ tute sexual harassment" David Weiser, Park's attorney, said they are forming a committee of facul­ ty members, students and alumni to help eliminate sexual harassment at the University. "We regret the need to go to court but the University has left us no choice," Weiser said. 99-Hour Continued from page 1 the limited amount of money for state higher education required ffie Legislature to take action. "It was som ething passed by the Legislature designed as an incentive to ensure that students continue to m ake progress through their college careers," Grasshoff said. "If there is not a good reason w hy the student should take a whole lot of hours, then there needs to be som e incentive for the student to move ahead." John Gilbert, chairman of the UT Faculty C ouncil, said the council welcom es the students' efforts. "We have not had a council discussion on the 99-hour issue yet," Gilbert said. "But, I get a sense the faculty feels this is the Legislature trying to micro-manage academic insti­ tutions by telling us how many hours they feel it should take for a student to get a Ph.D." Travis Metcalfe, member of die GSA, said the assem bly wants the University to implement the law in a way that will have die least im pact on m ost graduate students' tuition. "The law allows die University to charge out-of-state tuition but it doesn't require them to do so," Metcalfe said. "We are encouraging them to find other ways to supplement the program. If not, enrollment will drop." But Dollard said the University could face future budget prob­ lem s w ith the L egislature if adm inistrators d ecid e not to charge out-of-state tuition. "If we don't take advantage of this, then die next time we go to die Legislature requesting fund­ ing) they could say 'W ell you wouldn't take advantage of that opportunity to recoup som e of those funds/" Dollard said. The law also applies to teach­ ing assistants, associate instruc­ tors and graduate research assis­ tants — w ho often have their out-of-state fees waived as part of their contract.

Satellite makes discovery that could represent enough water to sustain colonization Binder. The water would turn to vapor and then could be distilled into a liquid. WASHINGTON Enough water is frozen in the loose soil of me moon to support a lunar base and perhaps to one day build a hum an colony there, NASA scientists said Thursday. "We are certain there is water there," said Alan Binder, a lead sci­ entist for the Lunar Prospector spacecraft, which made the discov­ ery. "We think we are seeing between 10 million and 100 million tons of water." Although the water is frozen and mixed with soil deep in scattered craters near the north and south lunar poles, Binder said that it would be easy to convert to liquid water that could be used to make rocket propellant and breathing oxygen. Preliminary estimates indicate that the moon holds enough water, in widely separated deposits, to fill a lake 2 miles square ana 35 feet deep, Binder said. The discovery of water, he said, means that it would be easier to establish a base where people could live for extended periods and to use extraterrestrial resources — moon water converted to rocket fuel — to explore deeper into the solar system. The Lunar Prospector, a $65 mil­ lion robot craft, was launched in January and has spent the last seven weeks orbiting the moon and taking readings of die moon's surface with radar and other instruments. W illiam Feldman, an Energy Department scientist who analyzed the insturment data, said conclu­ sions about water are based on a month's worth of data and should be called "preliminary." "There are a bunch of craters filled up with water ice," said Feldman. "This is a significant resource that will allow a modest amount of colo­ nization” for many years. But scientists won't be able to con­ firm that the hydrogen atoms detect­ ed by the spacecraft are actually locked in water, and not in some exotic ice or rock deposit, until a sample of the material is scooped up and analyzed. Feldman said "water is the most stable form of hydrogen" and the most likely form to be on die moon. The agency has no imm ediate plans to make a moon landing, but Lewis Peach, a NASA executive, said the agency has long-range plans to land on bom die moon and Mars. The agency wants to learn how to exploit extraterrestrial resources, such as the moon's water, to make die exploration cheaper and faster. Had NASA been able to confirm earlier that there was water on the moon, said Peach, it could have affected exploration strategy. To make the lunar water useful, NASA officials said they would need a way to mine the water crystals in the super cold of the moon's poles. Water could be freed from the soil simply by allowing it to heat, said Feldman estimated that in rich deposits, there may be as much as 5 gallons of water for every cubic yard of lunar seal. Binder said it is believed the moon was drywhen it first formed some 4 billion years ago. All of the water that is there, he said, probably was deposited by comets and asteroids smashing into the moon. Based on this history, Feldman estimated there may be 11 million to 330 million tons of water frozen in soil near the lunar poles. Although comets and asteroids struck everywhere on the moon, only the poles are cold enough — about minus 180 degrees Fahrenheit — for the water to freeze and stay put. Temperatures at the lunar equator can get up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit hot enough for any water to boil off and disappear into space.

The defense ministry said senior government officials were the tar­ get, but the bombs went off prema­ turely. The governm ent blamed rebels seeking an independent hom eland for Sri Lanka's Tamil minority. The bus blew apart at one of the city's busiest intersections, shred­ ding vehicles and ripping facades from buildings. The dead included at least three children from area schools and two police officers. School books, a plastic lunch box and children's shoes were scattered around the site, littered among the twisted hulks of cars and trucks. The bus driver — believed to be a suicide bomber — was among the dead. "This was not a conventional bomb," Defense Ministry spokesman Sarath Munasinghe said, saying the bombs had been carefully posi­ tioned on both sides of the bus "so that when they explode, it would kill people around." If the bus had gone much farther, it would have reached the route normally taken by government min­ isters to attend Parliament, Munas­ inghe said. The bus's driver ran a stop sign at a police checkpoint about noon, prompting police to give chase. A police woman who moved into its way to try to stop it was "mowed down," the spokesman said. In fiie aftermath of the blast, hun­ dreds of injured were rushed to Colombo's main hospital. Weeping parents hurried to tne devastated neighborhood to try to find their children. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Palitha Perera, police superintendent, said "it defi­ nitely looks like the work of the Tigers," réferring to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Tamils, who make up 18 percent of the population of 18 million, claifn they are discriminated against by the majority Sinhalese, who con­ trol the government and military. The rebels have suffered setbacks on the battlefield in recent months. Although most of the fighting in Sri Lanka's civil war has been in the northeast Tamil heartland, the sepa­ ratists have made several daring attacks in the south, including bombings in the capital and major cities. More than 51,000 people have been killed since the war began in 1983. On Thursday, phone lihes in the capital were jammed as residents sought information and tried to account for loved ones. _ One parent, Lokuarachchige Sriyawathie, said he had gone to the area to pick up his son from school. "Just as we got to the school gate, there was'a huge explosion and I was knocked down by th 'e ty a s t," he said. Flyirtg glass hit him in the arm and face. The front of the railroad station was badly damaged, and a police station slightly damaged. At least 40 vehicles on the streets were destroyed and about 50 nearby shops were damaged. "Terrorism cannot be condoned in any circumstances," said Fred Eckhard, spokesman for U.N. Secre­ tary-General Kofi Annan. Inspection team returns to Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq — A 50-mem­ ber team of U.N. weapons inspec­ tors returned to Iraq on Thursday, led by an American whose presence helped touch off the Gulf crisis — a standoff they hope to verify is over. Scott Ritter and his team arrived from Bahrain at the Habaniya mili­ tary airport outside Baghdad and were driven to the U.N. headquar­ ters in a van and a bus. R itter's team w ill "carry out inspections, including surprise inspections, to some of fiie sensitive sites," the official Iraqi News Agency said. Sensitive sites are ministries and security facilities, which can be inspected only under special proce­ dures in effect since June 1996. Ritter's team had been prevented from entering some suspected weapons sites in January after Iraq alleged he was an American spy and that his team had a dispropor­ tionately high number of Ameri­ cans. Ritter left Iraq on Jan. 16, and chief inspector Richard Butler ordered him back in now, said Allen Dacey, inspectors' spokesman in Baghdad. the In an unusual move, the govern­ ment told television crews and pho­ tographers they cannot go into the U.N. headquarters to cover Ritter's arrival. One ministry official said Ritter "is not an important event." His return follows the U.N.-Iraq accord of Feb. 23 under which Iraq agreed to give inspectors full access to eight presidential palaces thaj Baghdad previously declared off- limits. The accord was worked out by U.N. chief Kofi Annan, who appointed a retired Indian diplomat on Thursday as his special represen­ tative to Iraq. Prakash Shah, 58, a . former Indian ambassador to the United Nations, is part of an effort by Annan to expand contacts with the Iraqi leadership. Palace inspections are not expect­ ed to start until the United Nations and the Iraqis agree on new rules for them. Those rules, the subject of intense discussions Thursday between U.N. and Iraqi officials in New York, have not yet been final­ ized. Kenyan students throw stones and a canister of tear gas shot at them by police during a demonstration in Nairobi, Kenya. Some 400 students battled police protesting the suspension of 17 students who protested earlier against political violence and against the increase of university fees from $100 in 1994 to $850 thisyear. ASSOCIATED PRESS Effects of Asian financial crisis yet to hit economy WASHINGTON — Orders to U.S. factories rose 0.5 percent in January, evidence the financial crisis in Asia has yet to hit the economy hard. But economists said the warning signs are there. "There has been some cooling off," said NationsBank economist Lynn Reaser. "I think we'll see more of the effect of Asia in the second quarter." The Commerce D epartm ent reported Thursday that the January advance in factory orders did not compensate for a revised 2.6 percent drop in December, fiie worst show­ ing for American manufacturers-in more than five years. Nearly all of January's strength came from a 71.9 percent rebound in orders for aircraft. Outside of trans­ portation, demand for U.S. manu­ factured goods was extremely weak, dropping by 0.2 percent. It was that m easure's third setback in four months. Also, Wall Street cringed Thurs­ day after Wednesday's notice by computer giant Intel Corp. that its quarterly revenue and profit would fall below expectations. "It is a warning from them th a t... demand is going to be less than they anticipated," Reaser said. The Dow Jones industrial average Thursday closed dow n 94.91, at 8444.33. Most economists believe that a recent plunge in currency values in many Asian countries means U.S. factories eventually will have to cut production and workers. That's because Asian consumers will have less buying power for goods from the United States, and on the flip side, Asian companies will be able to sell in the United States and abroad at lower prices than Ameri­ can competitors. Prevailing opinion is that as the effects of the Asian crisis hit home, growth in the gross domestic prod­ uct — the sum of goods and services produced in the United States — will slow to about 2.5 percent this year from a booming 3.8 percent in 1997. But for the first quarter of 1998, ending with this month, many econ­ omists predict Asian fallout will show only moderately, a drop in GDP to about 3 percent. "Manufacturing is still on the rise, but not at the breakneck pace of the summer and autumn," said Robert G. Dederick, economic consultant to Northern Trust Co. in Chicago. So far, unemployment remains at the lowest levels in more than two decades. The Labor Departm ent said Thursday the number of appli­ cations for unemployment benefits dropped by a bigger-than-expected 16,000 claims to 304,000 for last week. The four-week average of claims remained stable at 308,750. Separately, the nation's major retailers Thursday reported better- than-expected February sales by chain stores in most parts of the country. Unseasonably warm weather brought shoppers out early to buy spring clothes and gardening supplies. It was the second straight month of good sales after a disap­ pointing holiday shopping season. The report on factory orders showed m at demand for durable goods, items expected to last three or more years, increased by 1.6 per­ cent. This was a sharp revision from an initial report last week, which had put the rise in durable goods at 0.7 percent. Demand for autos was down 6.8 percent in January, and orders for ships and tanks plummeted 68.5 percent, although this weakness was offset by die strong gain in air­ craft orders and smaller increases in demand for industrial machinery*, and electronic equipment. O rders for nondurable goods, including food and fuel, were down 0.9 percent in January, following an increase in December of 0.8 percent. Demand for petroleum, coal and chemicals had the largest decreases in the nondurable category. Warm weather caused by El Niño has cut sharply the demand for heating fuel this winter. Total orders for factory goods stood at $337.4 billion in January, 4.2 percent above the level of a year ago. China announces ‘urgently needed’ government overhaul BEIJING — Breaking sharply from the era when communist bureaucrats planned Chi­ na's economy, Premier Li Peng announced a bold government overhaul Thursday to catch up with two decades of market reforms. The restructuring — the most sweeping in 20 years — was "urgently needed," Li said in opening fiie annual session of China's legisla­ ture. Details were expected Friday, when the government briefs the legislature, the Nation­ al People's Congress. But Li sketched a plan of merging or dissolving government min­ istries and strengthening economic growth to avoid the kind of economic meltdown that has struck other Asian countries. Chinese sources and foreign diplomats expect the plan to target swollen bureaucra­ cies, which have less to do now that market reforms have freed the economy from direct government intervention. Speaking beneath a backdrop of red flags and the red-and-gold state seal, Li strongly endorsed China's march towards the free market, saying it was "enriching the people's life." Average incomes ferCBÉia's hundreds of millions of farmers have increased almost fivefold since Li's first legislative address as prem ier ia 1988. More m an 88 percent of households have totevisioi» and purchases of ‘ Jumped 103 percent last terjpods year, he Li backed more mergers, bankruptcies and other capitalist tactics to revive unprofitable state industries. But he also acknowledged that the reforms would worsen already high unemployment and said the pace of change would be moderated if unrest mounts. "Stability is the prerequisite of reform and development," Li told 2,944 delegates inside the cavernous Great Hall of the People. "We must balance the intensity of reform, the speed of development and our people's abili­ ty to sustain these." Much of China's bureaucracy is a hangover from centrally planned days when officials handled everything from issuing ration tick­ ets to setting prices. The outdated and unwieldy structure is expensive and encour­ ages corruption, red tape and official med­ dling in business, frustrating reform. "The incompatibilities of government insti­ tutions to the development of a socialist mar­ ket economy have become increasingly appar­ ent," Li said. c The reform plan is certain to face opposi­ tion from bureaucrats, some of whom rely on fheir status to supplement their small official wages, said Wu Guoguang, a Hong Kong- baaed academic who participated in stream- lifting efforts in the isfefl» that proved unsuc­ cessful. "The final result of this reform will be what we in China call 'dosing the temple but keep­ ing the monks,'" he said in a telephone inter- ASS0C1ATED PRESS, cw m oqr P«opto* M ta a M M*M to CW«*M Piwmm U Pm |'( *M ck « * • rm rni in ffíTi'- - — view. "They can reduce some of the temples, but the monks are still there. They just redis­ tribute fiie monks to other monasteries." To head off bureaucratic opposition, Li said the shikeup would "be handled persistently, prudently, patiently and carefully" and that officials' living standards should be main­ tained. The plan's chances of success could be helped by the expected promotion of Vice Premier Zhu Rongji, China's top economic potky?maker, to premier at this legislative session. Zhu, a no-nonsense reformer who is not afraid to step on officials' toes, is expected to replace Li, who must step down because he has served the maximum two five-year terms. While Li w ill lose the prem iership, he remains No. 2 in the Communist Party hierar- * chy behind President Jiang Zemin, and is • expected to get a new job as head of the * National People's Congress.

Fund-raiser charged with campaign law violations ■ LOS ANGELES — Democ­ ratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung was charged Thurs­ day with tunneling at least $20,000 in illegal contribu­ tions to the Clinton-Gore re- election campaign in a plea bargain with tne government. Chung, 43, is the fourth person charged in the last five weeks in the Justice Depart­ m ent's probe into finance abuses during the 1996 cam­ paign. "This investigation is mov­ ing forward, but we are not going to let up now," said Attorney General Janet Reno, who has come u n ^er fire from Republicans in Wash­ ington for not appointing a special prosecutor. A California businessman, Chung was charged with vio­ federal cam paign lating finance law, tax evasion and bank fraud. "Mr. Chung has reached an agreement with the govern­ ment," said his lawyer, Brian Sun. "He wishes to put this matter behind him as quickly as possible. Mr. Chung and his family hope to get on with their lives." Serb police kill 20 Albanians ■ PRISTINA, Yugoslavia — Cracking down on militant southern in separatists Y ugoslavia's Kosovo province, police killed 20 eth­ nic Albanians on Thursday, state-run television reported. The Albanians said houses were on fire and residents were fleeing. Police armed with assault rifles set up roadblocks and turned back reporters, mak­ ing it im possible to verify what was happening. Months of rising tensions and clashes erup ted into violence last weekend in the region, which is part of Serbia, Yugoslavia's largest republic. Ethnic Albanian officials claim there have been "mas­ sacres" by Serb police. Serb authorities deny this, saying the sweep of several villages was a justified hunt for terror­ ists. Since last week, the crackdown has claimed 51 lives ■— 45 Albanians and six Serb police. • • Western officials appealed for a peaceful end to me cri­ sis, but the new killings were likely to make filings worse. T hursday British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook delivered a harsh message to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic on behalf of the European Union, demanding that he halt the violence. Paleontologists find unknown dinosaurs bones ■ BUENOS AIRES, Argenti­ na — An 85 million-year-old carnivorous dinosaur of an apparently unknown species has been discovered in south­ ern Argentina, a paleontolo­ gist said Thursday. Researchers found bones of herbivore Titanosaurus and of the unknown carnivore in the fossil-rich area of Rincon de los Sauces near the Andes, 760 miles southw est of Buenos Aires. "There are fossils enough for Rincon de los Sauces to start its own museum," pale­ ontologist Jorge Calvo of the University of Comahue told The Associated Press. Calvo, a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chica­ go, heads fiie team that found the T itanosaurus, a fairly common dinosaur in the area, as well as file new carnivore. "We found vertebrae, a shoulder blade, and leg bones,, all in excellent condi­ tion," Calvo said. "W e've never seen pieces tike these." — Com piM from As$oci*t»d r n u fwportt n n n ñ n n n Minority Task Force needs force Recently, the student co-chair of the Univer­ sity-initiated Diversity Task Force, Mamta Motwani, resigned in protest of the current status of the University's attitude toward diversity. In her resignation, she has articulat­ ed a number of critical concerns that plague UT's efforts to increase diversity. The Diversity Task Force began sorting out and constructing solid diversity efforts from the throes of the Hopwood decision. Contrary to right-wing cries, the most controversial ele­ ments) of diversity initiatives, namely face- based admissions policies and scholarships, were eliminated. Thus, the task force should have fhe power to suggest realistic and legal initiatives to increase diversity which should prove less controversial and more welcome to the stu­ dent body. The task is noble and the group itself is com­ posed of some of the students most committed to diversity on this campus. But there is no force to their recommendations, no institution­ al structure by which their ideas can be imple­ mented, administered or refined. The task force (which has no force) has the unfortunate consequence of distracting committed stu­ dents from doing the beneficial things that got D uane Pozza TEXAN COLUMNIST them on it in the first place. There are many notable pro-diversity efforts on UT's campus. From Hope Week to Texas Union committees to RA training, different segments of the University promote diversity in their own way. But these efforts are all bot- fom-up solutions. Each program stands strong on its own merits, but together they form an incoherent University policy. Diversity events are not a part of UT traditions, receive no direct administrative support, and, important­ ly, no direct and sustained budget allocation. These facts would be more excusable if the University did not say it was committed to diversity. But if the University is to make that claim, it needs to support it. It needs to sup­ port the policies already in place, establish very clébr guidelines and goals, and*centralize the administration of minority issues into a center with real power, vice presidential or otherwise. The University needs a solid con­ ceptual framework in which it can focus its efforts to improve diversity. In one sense, the power of a "diversity administrator" is merely symbolic; in ahother way, it is a far cry from the symbolism of appointing a task force merely with the power to discuss. A Diversity Task Force with real power would be an important step in moderating the debate on diversity, which is too often plagued by screaming and lecturing on both sides. One does not need to argue that the Uni­ versity is racist in order to push for substan­ tive reforms. But the failure of middle-ground solutions is disheartening. There are so many students who have toiled away at their own small programs as part of a larger solution, instead of leading sit-ins or filing lawsuits. They do this faced with an administration with good intentions and positive encourage­ ment, but nothing to back it up. Why do these students need to feel alienated? Diversity solu­ tions at UT need not be radical politics. Nor should they be relegated to rhetoric. There is a much happier middle ground of active sup­ port for diversity initiatives which is hovering before us right now. The ideas are there. For some inexplicable reason, we are too afraid to act on them. Pozza is a plan II senior. T h e D a il y T exa n Th e Da ily Texan Editorial Board Colby Angus Black Editor Rob Russell Associate Editor Jaclyn Roberson Associate Editor Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan axe those of die editor or writer of the article. They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publica­ tions Board of Operating Trustees. VIEWPOINT Regents 1bo!;ch Some folks knew him as Dollar Bill Cunningham. Given his current rate of pay increase, he'll be Million Dollar William within 15 years. Yes, given a pay raise of $99,000 every two years, die chancellor of the UT System would be earning $1,000,000 per year. Granted, this most recent pay raise is probably the end of the road for a while, as it was intended to bring Cunningham's salary in line with academic executives at similar institutions. His current salary of $350,000 does just that But given their recent behavior regarding salaries cm this campus, the regents' cavalier attitude cm this issue should give cause for dismay. Cunningham's pay raise was intended to bring him in line with die market. Surely that is a noble goal for the chancellor of die system that includes die flagship university of the great State of Texas. But the regents' sudden epiphany on market forces leaves a sour taste when UT staff members realize that 94 percent of them are below that mys­ tical market average. What are the regents thinking? This must be a recurrence of the "let's name a building after Jim Bob" school erf public relations. Cun­ ningham's raise is a slap in the face of those people that are the back­ bone of this University. There have been rumblings of unionizations before. Will anyone be surprised if those rumblings become a top-vol- ume outcry? Do the regents want to drive the staff into a union? Bringing Cunningham's salary up to the market standard would be done so other institutions could not lure him away for more money. Has anyone heard of other schools wanting Cunningham? Since we're cutting costs on basic services at the University, shouldn't we be try­ ing to get the cheapest chancellor available? At least the faculty are on die side of die angels. Their gift of one sixth erf their three percent pay raise, though only a gesture, sends the message that someone on this campus cares about the staff. Perhaps the administration, Cunningham included, could find it in their hearts and wallets to make a similar contribution to the common good. Further, we students are the customers of the University. We've recently seen fee increase after tuition increase after fee increase — why is none of that money going to staff pay raises? The UT student body must join with the voices of die faculty and die staff in protest­ ing the staff's outrageously low salaries. They do the dirty work on these forty acres; we at least owe them our support. 40 ACRES The eyes of Texas are upon you eaty to miss the SGTé tUée that has been on tí» Weat Mall every ‘WMnesday from frJO a.m. to 1 p.m. ■ J é v ^ W W i TAe game op Li • Automática and Standards • American and Imports • Free Estimates • Free Towing • Student Discounts • Financing Available • Located Near Campus 474-1400 3236 E.

Bush voices concern over voter turnout 66 It’s very impor­ A Texas Poll published this week showed large numbers of Texans undecided in the contested races as next Tuesday's elections approach. After casting his own primary ballot, Gov. George W. Bush voiced a worry Thursday that Texas might be giving an election and almost no one will come. "I hope that many Texans follow our lead and vote — no matter what the primary is — and show up and do their duty as Texas citizens," Bush said. More than 11 million Texans are registered to vote, up 14 percent from March 1996. Secretary of State A1 Gonzales' office on Thursday estimated a turnout of 20 percent — the same as the 1996 primary, said spokes­ woman Lisa Glass. Glass said early voting was run­ ning at 1.3 percent in the state's 10 largest counties, also on par with 1996 and thus prompting the 20 per­ cent forecast. tant for people to take their right to vote seriously.” i W* •mamCnv C iflM f Mí Amé WWm M M This year's primaries have drawn less attention than many recent elec­ tions, with a sizable number of top- of-the-ticket races uncontested in both the Republican and Democrat­ ic parties. Bush faces only Round Rock highway contractor R.C. Crawford in the GOP primary, while Democ­ ratic gubernatorial candidate Garry Mauro is unopposed. Also unop­ posed in both primaries are candi­ dates for lieutenant governor and state comptroller. The survey found 40 percent to nearly 45 percent of likely Republi­ can primary voters undecided. In the Democratic primaries, from one-third to two-thirds of voters were undecided, depending on the race. Urging all voters to cast ballots, Bush said the good news in the large number of undecideds is that they are at least thinking about the election. "If a person is undecided, at least they're paying attention to the race. It's those that say 'don't care' that bother me," Bush said. "What does concern me are low voter turnouts, whether it be in pri­ maries or general elections. It7s very important for people to take their tnporti right to vote seriously.' T h e D a i l y T e x a n g jg | ■ U H M H ■ M M 7 AG candidates clash over domain of office 66 The AG should DailyTiBxan Staff not be t^e top crime boss,” Republican candidates for Texas attorney general verbally sparred Thursday about whether die office should focus on crime or on civil complaints. With just five days before the statewide primary elections, the Republicans are defining the issues in the race differently. Touting new endorsements from state and local law enforcement agencies, Barry Williamson promised he would use the attorney general's office to help law enforce­ ment agencies combat gangs and drug traffickers. "Let diere be no question in any­ one's mind that law enforcement officials want the attorney general of Texas to be their partner in the trenches crime," fighting Williamson said. "I will restructure that agency to provide more assis­ tance and additional resources for local law enforcement officials and local prosecutors." In response, the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, or CLEAT, and die Dallas and Houston Police Associations threw their sup­ port behind Williamson Thursday. CLEAT is Texas' largest law enforcement group with 16,000 members. "As police officers, we know that gangs and narcotics are the two main things that threaten our chil­ dren and their future," said Mike Loomis, vice president of CLEAT. "It will be my strong push to endorse Mr. WiUiamson throughout this entire race." Williamson added he could pay for the extra efforts by better orga­ nizing the AG's office. WiUiamson's crime plan includes building drug and gang databases, creating a gang and narcotics divi­ sion within the office, and mount­ ing a campaign to tear down drug houses in Texas. But Mark Lehman, spokesman for John Comyn, another Republi­ can AG candidate, said die attorney general's first interest should be civil cases such as child support and protecting the state from improper federal intervention. "The Constitution describes the attorney general as the top civil lawyer and doesn't even mention crime," Lehman said. "The AG should not be the top crime boss. That in the Constitution is mandat­ ed to the district attorneys and local law enforcement." Cornyn has said he will give attention to criminal cases, but will be careful not to overstep his legal bounds. "Criminal justice is important, but we're not in favor of expanding the role of criminal justice at the expense of local law enforcement," Lehman said. Comyn has been endorsed by for­ mer Federal Bureau of Investigation Director William Sessions and for­ mer Texas Attorney General Wag­ goner Carr, Lehman said. Mark Sanders, a spokesman for Tom Pauken, the third Republican candidate, agreed that Williamson exaggerated the attorney general's role in combating crime. Sanders said Pauken will help law enforcement agencies by strip­ ping control of state prisons away from federal courts. Pauken has also said the office is wasting money on a huge administra­ tive staff and has pledged to cut spend­ ing in the AG office by 20 percent. The winner of Tuesday's Republi­ can primary will face the winner of the three-man Democratic primary race in die November general election. Former Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox, Texas Court of Crimi­ nal Appeals Judge Morris Over­ street, and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Gene Kelly are vying for the Democratic nomination.

Clair Goldsmith, director of the Computation Center, said the center is “rea­ sonably well-prepared" for 2000, but that most of its in-house efforts involve testing existing systems. "We are in the unique situation where we buy, so we have to rely on the vendors. In everything we're buying right now, we're asking if it's year 2000-compliant," she said. The only problem, Goldsmith said, is if "vendors start backing out as 2000 approaches," adding "this is not the same problem as for faculty where they might write their own applications." The academic departments face different problems in dealing with the Millennium Bug, Goldsmith said. "The biggest problem is awareness," she said.

On the mound was future first- team All-American Jason Gooding. Ready to hit one of his 33 home runs was Big 12 Player of the Year Joe Dil­ lon. And ready to go from an unranked team to the top of die polls were the Red Raiders. having fun. Gone are both Gooding and Dil­ lon, and here already is the first con- loss, which Tech ference-series picked up last weekend by dropping 2-of-3 to Texas A&M — the only team to win a conference series against Tech in 1997. While the Big 12 race is far from over, according to Hays, the 1998 Red Raiders are a far cry from last season's squad. But as the 1997 Big 12 Coach of the Year learned, time flies when you're "Right now, we're not close," he said. "For whatever reason, be it injuries or inexperience, we just haven't been able to play well." The Red Raiders (11-7) host Big 12 conference rival Texas (8-8-1) in a three-game set, beginning at 3 p.m. Friday at Dan Law Field. The schools opened conference play against one another last season, with Tech taking 2-of-3 in Austin. The Red Raiders didn't face their other conference rival, A&M, until the last week of the season in 1997, a gap that Hays would have liked to keep open. "I don't like [die new schedule], but if we can get through [these two series] breathin', hopefully we'll be OK. I just hope we can weather the storm," Hays said. "1 used to say we'd play anybody, anytime, but I'm backin' out on mat deal. We just need to put together three good games over a weekend." tn addition to losing the two All- Americans, Hays has lost several key «players early this season due to key|pli M y , Keith O nto; the 1997 Big 12 Confer­ ence Newcomer of the Year, has been hampered by a hairline fracture in his wrist, but will likely play in the series. Pitcher Chad Reynolds was not so BASEBALL/Page 10 Horns squeak by Raiders TEXAS BASKETBALL Clack pours in 28 poinls for win, 86-83 Daily Texan Staff KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On Monday, Texas men's basketball coach Tom Penders was asked what his team's chances were in this week's Big 12 tournament if star guard Kris Clack couldn't rebound from a severely dislocated shoulder. "I have a tee time Friday afternoon," Penders said, perhaps in an effort to inspire the rest of his squad. So on the heels of a heroic, Willis Reed-like per­ formance by Clack in the Runrún' Hóms' 86-83 win over Texas Tech on Thursday night, one can conclude that somewhere there is a new opening on a golf course for 18 holes on Friday. Only four days after a mishap in practice left him with his right arm in a sling, Clack exploded for one of the most brilliant and memorable games of his career, racking up 28 points and nine rebounds. He winced in pain on numerous occa­ sions and was mainly limited to going to his left side, but Clack still spent all but one minute of the contest on the floor. "It was a huge lift [having Clack in the game]," said Texas guard Luke Axtell, who scored 20 points of his own. "When he was out earlier in the year we struggled, so when he decided he was going to play it really pumped us up." Yet in typical Texas style, the 10th-seeded Horns still managed to let Tech make the game exciting after UT led 81-70 with only 4:36 remain­ ing. The seventh-seeded Raiders went on a 10-1 run at that point and trailed by only two points with under a minute to play. On Texas' next possession, Clack broke down the defense and put up an errant shot off the glass that appeared for a moment to open the door for Tech. But an off-balance Chris Mihm grabbed the rebound with his left hand and converted the putback, giving the Horns an 84-80 lead with 13 seconds left.

His first drive landed in the fairway bunkei; and Mar­ tin attributed the result to something other than not hitting his ball straight. "I was kind of nervous. It hasn't been my nonnal preparation for a golf tour­ nament; but once I got out there, it was business as usual," he said. Five hours after he began, Martin bottomed a par putt on the 18th hole to finish at 3-under-pai; a score of 69 on the par-72 course.

Out into the open, UT races into 1998 Daily Texan Staff After a month and 12 days of preparing for and competing in indoor meets, the real track season has just gotten much closer for the Long­ horn men's track and field team. The Horns will get off their bus in San Antonio on Friday morning and step onto a track that has neither air conditioning nor a roof. Instead, the men will feel the Texas heat and soft breezes they have longed for all sea­ son long, as the team opens its out­ door season at the Trinity Invitational. "Everybody that didn't qualify for the indoor championships is pretty excited to get outdoors," shot putter Roger Roesler said. "A lot of people like me consider the indoors warm­ ups for outdoors because we never competed in indoors while in high school in Texas." The Horns head into the Alamo City after finishing third at die Big 12 Indoor Trade and Field Championships last weekend in Ames, Iowa. High jumper Mark Boswell and pole vaulter Jacob Davis both damned conference tides, and have earned automatic qualifica­ tions for the NCAA Indoor Thadc and Field Championships next weekend in Indianapolis, Ind. Neither Boswell nor Davis will com­ pete this weekend, along with three other Texas athletes who have provi­ sionally qualified for the national meet Eric Frempong earned provi­ sional qualification in both die 55- meter i s ék and the 200-meter dash, while Wtiyne Fenton abo earned that qualification in the 55-metera.

Although tire Horns only finished third in the Indoor Championships' the team actually moved up a spot in this week's national poll. The men are now ranked No. 8, \Amich puts them iif a four-way tie with Qemson, Wash­ * ington State and Texas A&M. Arkansas is currently the top team* in the nation, a spot the Razorbacks* have held for all eight weeks of the' poll. Other Big 12 schools in the rankings include Kansas State at No. 12, Baylor at No. 14, Colorado at No. 19 and Nebraska at No. 21. But even though the rankings have given the Horns an idea of where they stand in relation to the other teams around the nation, the track season, in their mind, has just begun now that they are outdoors. "Right now, No. 8 is about where we are, but you're definitely gonna see some great things from us later on," high jumper Jay Lyles said. Last season, the men captured the inaugural Big 12 outdoor title and finished second behind Arkansas for the national title, wowing five meets during the year The Horns look to continue that success in 1998 by getting a quick start in San Antonio. "It's gonna be great to get back to outdoors because that's what most, of us really focus on," Lyles arid. "This meet isn't as big as conference, but it's a pretty good place to sta rt* .

But not too many teams average 99 points a game like No. 13 Texas Christian. TCU survived a miserable sec­ ond half of shooting Thursday to beat Southern Methodist 71-69 in the Western Athletic Conference tournament and extend its win­ ning streak to 16 games. TCU (27-4) shot only 3Í per­ cent in the second naif, but SMU's shooting was nearly as bad. The Homed Frogs came back from an eight-point, sec­ ond-half deficit to advance to the semifinals against No. 20 New Mexico. tournam ent "It was one of those games where both teams didn't shoot well," TCU coach Billy Tubbs said. "The second half was as ba<| as we've shot all year." Lee Nailon had 16 points and 14 rebounds for TCU, which had to survive a 3-point attempt by Stephen Woods at die buzzer to win its first tournament game. UT softball team splits pair in Tampa M TAMPA, Fla.— The University of Texas softball team split its first two games at the Speedline Invita­ tional Tournament, losing its first game to Florida Atlantic Universi­ ty, 5-2, and winning die second game against Michigan State, 5-0, on Thursday afternoon.

Instead, the Aggies decided to let Tony Barone's tenure with the school end on a much more appropri­ ate note — a heartbreaking loss. The 12th-seeded Aggies put up a valiant second-half effort to cut a 14- point Baylor lead to a single point with a minute to play, but as has been the case all year, A&M couldn't pull out the victory. Instead, the out- of-sync Bears narrowly held on for a 66-63 win at Kemper Arena. "We put a lot into this game, a lot into this team, but we just didn't get it done," said Brian Barone, the fiery point guard who played like more than just a coach's son down the stretch run of die Aggies' 7-20 season. "It's tough- We left a lot out diere on die court." . Baylor center Brian Skinner took control of the paint after halftime, leading all scorers with 27 points. Still, it wasn't until A&M's Steve Houston and Jerald Brown both missed trey attempts in the closing seconds that the triumph was secure for the fifth-seeded Bears (14-13), who will take on Nebraska Friday. ASSOCIATED PR ESS A&M guard Michael Schmidt pulls his shirt over his head after the three-point loss. Both Barones were extremely emotional after the game. A&M announced three weeks ago that the elder Barone would be reassigned at the season's conclusion, but the final buzzer seemed to bring about a sense of finality to the whole affair. "I've got a lot of mixed emotions right now," coach Barone said. "I think the biggest void is that, while we accepted die challenge at A&M, we didn't get the job done. I dunk that bothers me more than anything else." H No. 8 Kansas State 75, No. 9 Colorado 61 — In a contest over­ shadowed by the absence of a sus­ pended Manny Dies, the Wildcats used an impressive second-half surge to overpower the Buffaloes in the first game of the tournament. Kansas State's iy Sm s led die Wild­ cats (17-10) with 20 points and nine rebounds, spearheading a KSU attack that overcame a 29-26 halftime deficit Tech women advance to finals J t f f McDonald Daily Texan Staff KANSAS .CITY, Mo. — This one will go out to all the Alicia Thomp­ son doubters out there. If there were any. Just moments after receiving a large crystal trophy given to the newly-crowned Big 12 Player of the Year, Thompson took center stage in the Municipal Auditorium and proved exactly why she deserved it. Thompson, the league's leading scorer at 23.2 points per game, pumped in 22 hard-earned points as top-seeded Texas Tech squeaked by No. 5 seed Oklahoma State, 53-49, in the semifinal round of the confer­ ence tournament Thursday. The win sends Tech (24-4) to its eighth final-round appearance in nine years and erases last season's demoralizing, second-round tourna­ ment loss to Kansas State. "I told [Thompson] that those are probably the toughest 22 points she's ever gotten," said Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp, whose team will face Kansas in Saturday's championship game. "She had to fight through just about everybody to get her shots off. I think that speaks volumes about what she's all about." It wasn't Thompson at her most beautiful and most prolific, but on a night when neither team shot better than 40 percent, it was good enough. Thompson was swarmed by dou­ ble- and triple-teams throughout the contest and was handcuffed with three fouls for most of the second half. But the senior forward missed only eight of her 18 shot attempts, frequently parting an orange sea of defenders on her way to the basket and her 27th double-figure scoring night of die season. "They did a good job on me defen­ sively, I think," said Thompson, who is also a candidate for the postseason Naismith Award, as well as All- America honors. Tech trailed the upset-minded Cowgirls early in the ballgame, until a Thompson leaner gave the Red Raiders a 14-13 edge. Tech then ripped off a 7-1 run to open the sec­ ond half, stretching a three-point halftime lead, but OSU battled back to tie on a Cheri Edwards trey with 14:56. fast-breaking sports n ew s from The Daily Texan sports How far will UT Sports go this year?

Tech fouled Mihm, who pro­ ceeded to nail both free throws to push the lead back up to three. Carr then took another three oyer Chico Vazquez from the top of file key as time expired, but the ball rat­ tled out of the rim and the Horns advanced to the quarterfinals. "My first impression was that it was going in," Clack said of the final shot, which left the fortunes of both teams hanging in die balance for what seemed like an eternity. "Then it started rattling and I really thought it was going in. When it popped out, it was just a relief." Texafe (13-16) led the game wire- to-wire, taking its biggest lead of the contest when Brandy Perryman hit an acrobatic bank shot to make the score 47-27 late in the first half. Led by a strong start from Clack,, the Homs shot a scorching 50 percent in the first half while limiting the Raiders to only nine field goals before the breaks And just as the Homs had done in their previous two victories over Tech this season, they did a remark­ able defensive job on Carr. Vazquez and Clack chased the All-Big 12 guard all over the floor, holding him to 5-of-15 shooting on the night. "I think [Carr] is the best two- guard in America," Penders said, "but Chico, on a gimpy knee, made him work for every bucket." Open C o n t i n u e d f r o m p a g e 9 rough to another. He chipped back into the fairway, then hit a nice shot at the pin. He sank a tough putt from 12 feet for par. 'To come out and play the first nine holes like I did, I was pretty pleased," he said. 'It's a tough course, with some really intimidating shots." Martin's fan following was easily die largest during the first round, C o n t i n u e d f r o m p a g e 9 lucky. The junior, who Hays expected to be the team's No. 3 pitcher, will miss die season after having major shoulder surgery in die fall. And though the Red Raiders do have two quality starters in Monty Ward and Shane Wright, the lack of a third starter has hurt the staff. "We haven't thrown out three consis­ tent starters over a weekend," Hays said. Closer Brad Ralston has been looked at as a starter but his entry into the rota­ tion could spell doom for an already shaky bullpen. "If you have a chance to win a game in this league, you better go ahead and win it," Hays said. "If we wouldn't have had Ralston in the pen on Satur­ day [Tech's 6-5 victory over A&M], I don't think we would have won that CHRIS’S LIQUOR 5 2 0 1 C A M f c R O N R D 4 5 1 - 7 3 9 1 O P E N 10 9 P M O A K H I L L L I Q U O R 6 0 3 6 H W Y 2 9 0 W E S T Ph. 8 9 2 - 0 6 0 7 O p e n 1 0 a m - 9 p m BOHEMIA BEER (Mexico)..... — 6 for 4 . 7 9 BEERS OF AMERICA______ .8 lor 4 . » i2p*ior7.99 SHINER BOCK ......

Neither game was doae, as die Homs had one of their best games of die year in an romp in Austin before getting shellacked at OSU last week, 80-58. "Oklahoma State played as good of defense as we've seen when we played them in Stillw ater" Penders said. "H ie Cowboys are for real, and they're a legitimate Top 25 team." É For the second straight year, die biggest stir at Day 1 of the men's tournament was a war of words between Penders and Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitiock. Whitlock, who drew die ire of Penders and Lone Star State fans last year with his piece about the draw­ backs of the influx of southern "red­ necks" into Kansas City, dedicated the majority of his Thursday column to more wisecracks about Texans and, in particular, Penders. Whitlock criticized Penders for saying that the tournament should be moved to Dallas (something Pen­ ders never said) while comparing him to the Fantasy Island character "Tattoo" and likening his hairstyle to a "tumbleweed." Penders issued a four-paragraph written statement Thursday afternoon column, denouncing Whitlock's explaining that "the only negative [he has] experienced in two trips to Kansas City for the Big 12 tournament is Mr. Whitiock himself." an eagle on the second. A bogey on the third dropped him to 2-under-par. He paired four, five, and six and then biidied seven with a 20-foot putt. A good sand wed helped Elder finish with a par on par-5 eighth. He then bogeyed die ninth as he chipped past die hole and then missed his par putt. Elder paired 11, 12, 13 and then hit a monster drive of 305 yards on the 14th hole to set up a birdie. "It could have been a good round, but it was all right for the first time out," Elder said. Penders said that he didn't know if Clack would play until "15 min­ utes before the game." Penders heaped high praise upon team train­ er Tom McVan for preparing Clack, saying that McVan and Clack "prob­ ably spent more time together this week than my wife and I have all season." Clack, who said that he had been limited to riding stationary bicycles all week, said that he decided to play after determining that the shoulder was strong enough to stand up against the blows that it would sure­ ly take. The injury more than just stood up, as Clack set a career high for field goals (11) and simply domi­ nated die game at some points. "Mv shot felt OK, and everything was falling for m e," Clack said. "I diink it was one of my best all- around games." NOTES: Texas moves on to play but the tournament lead nonetheless belongs to Michael Allen, a touring pro from Scottsdale, Ariz. Allen's round of 66 featured six birdies and no bogies. Allen called it "one of those rounds." "It's a good score," he said. "It's certainly not gonna hurt me." Elder's first round drew a crowd that included UT men's golf coach John Fields, college teammates (including his caddie, junior Patrick Malone), local fans and his family. He was spectacular on the first two holes, with a birdie on the first and game. The only way I see Ralston start­ ing on Sunday is if we get two complete games Friday and Saturday." Texas coach Augie Garrido can sym­ pathize with Hays. Curt Kautsch has been one of Texas' top pitchers in the closer's role, and Gañido has consid­ ered starting him on Sundays after a Friday relief appearance. Kautsch will probably remain in the bullpen for the Tech series, but Garrido has said he is trying to find a way to get more innings out of his closer. On the mound for Texas Friday will be righthander Scott Dunn (1-2, 3.33 ERA). The sophomore will be opposed by the righthanded Wright (3-1, 214 ERA), who is attempting to fill the ace's role on the staff vacated by Gooding. Junior righthander Frank Halter (2-2 6.83 ERA) will face off against fellow righty Monty Ward (2-1, 3.71 ERA) in Game 2, and Texas lefthander Jim Munroe (1-1, 5.09 ERA) will square off against lefty Jesse Cornejo (3-2 6.10 ERA) to close out the series Sunday. Though Texas is coming off an 11-2 loss to Texas Christian on Tuesday, Hays said the Longhorns, ranked 22nd in die CoUegiate Baseball poll are off to a good start considering trie tough sched­ ule they have played. "What I see about Texas is they played the best schedule of anyone in our league, and did pretty well," Hays said. "They're probably playin' better than anybody in our league — them and Oklahoma — but the difference is Oklahoma didn't play near the sched­ ule that Texas did." According to Baseball America, the Red Raiders are the No. 23 team in the country — quite a slip from the consis­ tent top 10 ranking of a year ago. "I'm not even sure we deserve to be ranked/' Hays said. "W e've earned our lack of respect."

The exercise is purely ceremoniál. Billed as a showcase of democracy, the People's Consultative Assembly is so heavi­ ly stacked with supporters that President Suharto, a former army general who took power in a period of political upheaval 32 years ago, is certain to be appointed for another five. "We all know w hat its result will be," said H en d ard i, head of the Indonesian Legal Aid Association. The 11-day meeting ends Wednesday. These days, Indonesia is w eathering a crippling economic crisis — five people have died in riots over price increases — but the political machinery that Suharto refined over three decades is running as smoothly as ever. The assembly has ignored demands for political reform — largely from students who say Asia's longest-serving leader is too old to stay in charge of the country of 202 million people. Suharto turns 77 in June. Critics say the assembly gives a democra­ tic veneer to a carefully choreographed ritu­ al in which Suharto is the only candidate. Even organizers have said diere is no need for a vote. "This assembly has nothing to do with the people," said Wiwik, a 21-year-old who was perched on a bus stop railing opposite the green-roofed parliament. Her boyfriend, a bank worker named Irawan, nodded his head. Neither gave their full names. All 500 legislators in Parliament, which is do m in ated by S u h arto 's ru lin g G olkar party, are in die assembly. The o th er m em bers are p resid e n tial appointees,¿including four of Suharto's six children, business associates and ministers' wives. More than 180 active or retired members of die loyalist military' are delegates. Gen. Wiranto, armed forces chief, and his wife* are there. So is their daughter, a 21-year-old law student. Close business associates of Suharto in the assem bly include tim ber tycoon M uhamm ad "Bob" Hassan and Anthony Salim, who runs banks, food processing plants and cement factories. " It's a big and h a p p y fam ily," said George Aditjondro, an Indonesian sociolo­ gist at the University of Newcastle in Aus­ tralia. There have been glim m ers of protest, with die only two minority parties urging an end to the rampant cronyism. Some leg­ islators suggested auditing the wealth of ministers and their families. "We can't expect change from this assem­ bly meeting, but at least we can raise public awareness," said Yusuf Syakir, head of the minority United Pevelopment Party. He also said the assembly should focus more on solving Indonesia's financial crisis. Suharto is under international pressure to implement economic reforms in exchange for $43 billion in loans. However, both Syakir's party and the Indonesian Democratic Party have endorsed Suharto and his vice p residential pick, Research Minister Bacharuddin Jusuf Habi­ bie. Even S u h a rto 's e ld e st dau g h ter, Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, has taken over their anti-corruption message, publicly railing ag ain st nepotism and o th e r abuses of power. „ Also known as "Tutut,"R ukm ana is an assem bly appointee as v§£ll as a Golkar party chief. She has a long list of business interests, including toll roads, a television station and a bus and taxi company. A few opposition figures outside the political system offered themselves as can­ didates for the presidency or the deputy's job, but their gestures fizzled. % . One pro-government delegate defended the system of appointing delegates, saying an elected delegate from a remote island m ight get "culture shock" on arriving if) urban Jakarta. Most Indonesians ignore politics as long as they have food and basic services, said legislator Amir Santoso. Miami now asking ‘Who’s in charge?’ Election fraud leaves city with two mayors as judge calls for new vote Associated Press MIAMI — Who's in charge here anyway? Who knows? In a city teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, where a criminal indictment is no bar to getting elected, the carnival-like turmoil at City Hall deepened T hursday, one day after a judge threw out last fall's mayoral election because of rampant fraud and ordered a new contest in 60 days. "It's embarrassing," City Commissioner J.L. Plummer said. "I've been here 28 years and I can 't rem em ber a tim e w hen w e've had to frown for the past year." C ircu it Judge Thom as W ilson Jr. ru led Wednesday that a "well-orchestrated absentee- ballot fraud scheme" in Miami's Little Havana n e ig h b o rh o o d h e lp e d X avier Suarez oust Mayor Joe Carollo in November. The new election will be held May 4. It will be lim ited to Suarez, Carollo and the three other candidates who ran in the general elec­ tion. In die meantime, the ruling has both Suarez and Carollo claiming to be mayor of this city of 375,000. Actually, the five-member Miami Board of Commissioners will decide who will serve as interim mayor until the new election. But the commission postponed its decision until next Wednesday. The "I'm -th e-m ay o r-n o -I'm -th e-m ay o r" gam e only reinforced M iam i's im age as a municipal "banana republic," as some pundits have called it, w ith M iam i Herald colum nist Carl Hiaasen wondering whether Jimmy Carter should supervise the election the way he does in Third World countries with only a passing respect for the ballot. Among the recent embarrassments: ■ The chairman of the Board of Commission­ ers, Humberto Hernandez, got elected despite ASSOCIATED PRESS A man from a Miami radio station dressed as a ghoul carries a sign Thursday outside city hall. Suarez was the mayor until a judge ruled that voter fraud nullified the November election. being under indictm ent on m ortgage fraud charges. * A bribery sting in 1996 snared a city com­ missioner and the city manager and ran them out of office. ■ A nd the accom panying in v estig atio n uncovered m ism anagem ent so vast that the city was left nearly bankrupt. In past months, Suarez earned the nickname "M ayor Loco" for an erratic style that has included mass firings, a challenge to the state board that oversees the city's finances, and a telephone call to the Herald in which he threat­ ened to pull the city's advertising unless the newspaper starts being "a lot nicer" to him. "The toughest thing I've had to deal with was to see in such a short time how the city of Miami was turned upside-down," Carollo said. "Everybody, coast to coast, internationally, was laughing at the office of mayor of the city of Miami." Suarez, 48, said he w ould abide by the judge's ruling, which found no evidence he knew of or participated in the fraud, and pre­ dicted: "I expect to win every single neighbor­ hood in Miami. I'll be very surprised if I don't win by a nice margin." GOP seeks Hispanic support after state vote WASHINGTON — Republicans hope for modest gains from legisla­ tion to give Puerto Ricans a chance for political self-determination, but a pro m in en t GOP pollin g firm w arned in advance it could take "several years if not a generation" to add substantially to current sup­ port. "A majority of Hispanics have come to believe that Republicans would rather have an America that did not include them," pollsters Ed Goeas and William Stewart wrote in a survey of the political landscape distributed Wednesday to die GOP rank and file. "Hispanics in this country hold many of the same virtues and val­ ues as Republicans, but they contin­ ue to feel alienated by w hat they characterize as close-mindedness on the p a rt of R epublicans in their approach to governing," particular­ ly on immigration, they wrote. Legislation giving Puerto Ricans the right to' vote on their political future cleared the House Wednes­ day night on a roll call of 209-208, largely on the strength of Democra­ tic votes. The proposal drew 80 per­ cent support in polling among His­ p anics in the GOP survey, b u t Republican backing in the House melted away after lawmakers reject­ ed a proposal to declare English as the nation's official language. "The Republicans are definitely fixed in the sense that they brought it up," said Carlos Romero-Barcelo, Puerto Rico's Democratic nonvoting re sid e n t com m issioner in the House, said Thursday. "However, the vote yesterday didn't help the Republicans." W hatever the political fallout from the measure, the vote occurred at a tim e w hen R epublicans are struggling to build support among Hispanics, a rapidly growing seg- J ment of the population. "The ability of the GOP to sustain a m ajority into the next century hinges on its appeal to Hispanics," consultant Ralph Reed said in a recent memo. He noted that His­ panics are poised to replace blacks in 2005 as the n a tio n 's larg est minority voting bloc. * Polling data suggest H ispanie support for Republican candidates declined in 1996 from 1994, when, the GOP controlled both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 * years. And Goeas' survey reported thaj in a recent poll, 52 percent of His* panics in d ic a te d s u p p o rt for » generic Democratic candidate, com­ pared with 32 percent for a generic Republican. There was no org an ized cam-, paign by the GOP leadership to ling; up votes for the Puerto Rican bill and no suggestion that by itself, the issue could alter attitudes held by .7 Hispanic voters. Some rank-and-file Republicans grum bled th at the m easure was brought to the floor only to appease lobbyists ancL w ell-connected underscored that the GOP as y e t has no election-year legislation toi bring to a vote. Still, House Speaker Newt Gin­ grich has talked frequently with* other lawmakers about Republican outreach to minority voters. And one GOP source, who spokel on condition of anonymity, said the speaker told an audience as recently as last weekend that bringing the Puerto Rico bill up for a vote was desirable as part of an effort to pre-- sent a gentler Republican face to.« Hispanics.

But die African Students Association is offering both widi dds weekend's performance of Edufa, a contempo­ rary G hanaian play by Efua Sutherland. Edufa, nam ed after the main character of die play, was written in 1967 in the wake of G hana's newly-gained independence from Great Britain. In the play, Edufa is a modem man straggling with ide­ ological issues. He challenges tra­ ditional African divination, die art of predicting one's fate. His wife has fallen iC and he agonizingly blames the source qf bar illness on hisownbefiefe. "Divination is die ability of cer­ tain people to forecast the future. In tne W est it is w hat we call palm readers," explained director Stephen Gerald. 'Tdufa has been foolinjg around with divination and shunning all traditionalist view s. He has to exam ine his martyrdom and where he stands in traditional African beliefs." In 1967, Ghana was struggling to gain a balance between mod- emisnt and traditionaliszxv hist as "Democracy in Africa is a for­ eign idea," G erald said. "I am interested to see how Americans will see this play. Will people see \ what the relevancy is?" Whether the audience perceives die significance or not, Edufa has already been successful as a cultur- ^ exploration. "Edufa gives the African Student Association the opportunity to come together and devote time to an African playwright so we can provide more knowledge to the University," Gerald said. "We wel- come the U niversity to see die, w ork and see w hat the play- wrights in other parts of the worid are doing and w hat they have The answer to Edufa's idedogi* cal dilemma may or may not lie between the lines of Sutherland's highly acclaim ed play. But if enlightenm ent comes from the search for an answer, then this is one opportunity the audience will not want to miss. UT stages classic opera D r a w l k n t i Daily Texan Staff Director Robert DeSimone describes The Coronation ofPoppea as "one of die sexiest operas written." This opera by Claudio Monteverdi is, in one word, sensuous. From the image of die heroine writhing sexually on die floor to the tender musical «exchanges between the lovers, the opera infuses its music w ith over­ whelming sensual longing. The Coronation ofPoppea is about the triumph of the Goddess Amor over Fortune and Virtue. Emperor Nero (Francisca Vanherle) becomes enam­ ored of Poppea (Kerry French) and sends her husband Ottone (Andrew Coward) away under false pretext to seduce his beautiful wife. Nero and Poppea foil under die sway and pro­ tection of the Goddess of Love, but Nero's wife Ottavia (Anna Niedbala) seeks revenge. The wise Seneca tries to reason with diem all and is sentenced to death by Nero for his efforts. Ottavia orders O ttone to kill Poppea, and Ottone reluctantly agrees. With all tne love, sex, and intrigue that ensues, the UT Opera Theatre is billing The Coronation ofPoppea as "a 17th-century version oí Melrose Place." This opera will pleasantiy surprise its audience in different ways. First, it is sung in English rather than its original Italian, making die opera much easier to understand and enjoy. In addition, there is quite a bit of gen­ der-switching on die roles. The roles of Nero and Poppea are both played by females so mat their soprano voices complement each other. Tnis switch does not reduce the sen­ suality and passion at all. Other male roles are played by females, and vice W E L C O M E BACK S TUD ENT S!

Directors have traditionally cast die parts this way to make the duets sound better. Monteverdi also mixes in a lot of humor that die UT Opera The­ atre brings to life. An early-period music ensemble provides the accompanying orchestra, playing instruments that would have been used during the 17th century. Unfortunately, the staccato harpsi­ chord and the strumming of the harp did not always seem to complement the opera voices. Perhaps they are just a little grating on die 20th-century ear, but the music is for overshadowed by superb singing. As an opera about the triumph of love, The Coronation of Poppea is an inviting drama and a beautiful sere­ nade. Even those who do not regu­ larly attend operas will easily be able to enjoy the skillful and sexy performance, running Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m at the McCullough Theatre. ■ a ■ ■ ■ A C A D E M Y AWARD BEST PICTURE" FEST!

Marshals, a fol­ low-up (I'm trying not to use die word sequel) to The Fugitive, Jones reprises the role of Gerard, which won him an Oscar, Geraid is still sttftborn, maniacal, and protective of his team of marshals. And, big surprise th e/m in pursuit of a fugitive, only M's not Hantton Ford, it's Wesley Sitipes. And Gerard gets a . tag-along on his team in the form of a diplom atic Security Service agent played by Robert Downey Jr. Unfortunately, U.S. Marshals never comes dose to me greatness of Hs pre­ decessor, mostly due to a script fuu of double- and triple-crosses that leaves you scratdifaig your head more than Mission: bposeMe. The end result is one of the worst films of the year so far. After a freak traffic accident Chica­ go police discover that the driver of a towtruck involved in the accident is , wanted for die murders of two govern­ ment agents in New York City. The driver, Mark Sheridan (Snipes) is arrested and put on a plane full oí con­ victs being snipped to the Big Apple. Two of the convicts on board are bring escorted by Gerard. After the jet is airborne, one of the prisoners, having smuggled a gun on íx>ard, tries to kill Downey. He misses, the bullet shatters a window and the plane decompresses and plunges into the Ohio River. And of course, Sheridan is on the run in no time. Within minutes we hear Gerard mutter the words "We got a fugitive," and the chase begins. U nfortunately, when the plane crashes, so does the movie. What fol­ lows is one overwrought plot hinge thrown in after another. Before long, you are scratching your head wonder­ ing what the hell is going on. While watching U.S. Marshals , you get the impression that screenwriter John Pogue was trying too hard to ere-' ate a story that could outdo The Fugi­ tive. As a result, he bogs the story down with way too much plot and too many double-crosses, and earns him­ self a six-pack of Busch tallboys. He fails to write his fugitive, Sheri­ dan, with any sort of sympathic angle, showing that he didn't study Jeb Stuar­ t's Fugitive screenplay enough. This takes away most of the excitement of U.S. Marshals. Since we don't care about Snipes' character, where is the suspense going to come from? Snipes doesn't particularly help matters — he is never able to create any empathy for his character. Robert Downey Jr/s performance is a career lowlight. It's obvious that we're watching a tired actor trying to do what he can with a poorly written role that he is sorely miscast in. As a result, he also earns a pack of Busch tallboys.

T h e B ig Le b o w s k i T h e C o e n b r o t h e r s RETURN TO P R E -F A R G O FORM, RIDICULING L. A., BOWLING AND THE UNSUSPECTING VIEW ER Daily Texan Staff TjjWj||j|H hey skewered rednecks in Raising Arizona, to o k chi big business in The Hudsucker Proxy and made a laughing stock of northerners in Fargo. Now the direc­ tor/producer team of Joel and Ethan Coen (they write their scripts togeth­ er) has struck again. In The Big Lebowski, the Coen broth­ ers have set their sights on one of America's easiest targets: Los Ange­ les. And in die Coens' book, every­ thing is fair game for their wicked sense of humor. Fans will immediately notice that die Coens are back to their old tricks. Without the creative constraints posed by the based-on-a-true-story gimmick of Fargo, the brothers return to the no-holds-barred style of Raising Arizona. Sure, it's ribald fun, but there's only so much over-the-top satire an iidienoe can handle in two hours, jam-packed with mockery and caricature; The Big Lebowski thumbs its nose at everything from planned p®- ertthood to funeral parlors. But it's the sport of bowling that gets hit the hardest. Our hero (Jeff Bridges) is a good-for-nothing who calls himself "The Dude." Unem­ ployed and worthy of the tide "laziest man in Los Angeles County," The Dude spends his time drinking White Jm v Fm M m /DAILY TEXAN STAFF Russians, smoking ganja and bowl­ ing. Walter (John Goodman), a bel­ ligerent Vietnam vet and converted Jew, and Donny (Steve Buscemi), a wimpy nincompoop, round out The Dude's bowling team. Even with life and limb at stake (as the movie gets more complicated), The Dude obediently returns to the bowling alley. To spice things up, the Coens sketch one of their most color­ ful characters ever as The Dude's competition on the lanes. Unnaturally comfortable in a hair­ net and tight purpjg bowling suit, Jesus (John Turturro), a convicted pediophile, derives an unnatural sex­ ual thrill from bowling. Keep your eyes open for one of Jesus's team­ mates, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, who refuses to mark a penalty until Walter jams a gun in his face. Though bowling is good for quite a few laughs, it has little to do with the movie's plot. The Dude's real name happens to be Jeff Lebowski, which is where the real trouble starts. Some­ where, unbeknownst to The Dude; a completely unrelated bimbo named Bunny Lebowski (Tara Reid) is run­ ning up a hefty expense bilL Unfortunately for The Dude, Bun­ ny's loan sharks come beating down the wrong door and peeing on the wrong rug with the intention of col­ lecting their dough. In hopes of sorting everything out (or at least getting his rug replaced), The Dude tracks down the Jeff Lebowski the hoodlums wanted: "the Big Lebowski" (David Huddleston). Before long, The Dude has posi­ tioned himself directly in the oenfcer of an unpredictable roller-coaster of events. First, Bunny disappears and The Dude finds himself acting as the bag-man for her million-dollar ran­ som on the Big Lebowski's behalf. Enter Maude Lebowski (Julianne Moore); an unconventional artist who takes feminism to a new extreme. She disapproves of her father's agreement to pay off the kidnappers, offering to compensate The Dude if he doesn't deliver the money. As if things aren't bad enough, The Dude botches the payoff, loses the money, and finds himself on sev­ eral more blacklists. Wealthy pom mogul Jackie Tiiehom (Ben Gazzara) sends his goons out to round up The Dude, while a group of German punk-rock nihilists (Peter Stormare, Flea) threaten castration if the money doe n't turn up. Whewf Even with all that said, Fve only given the bare minimum need­ ed to frame the story. Though com­ plicated, the plot here is n fly pretty thin, a serie® of coincidences that blow the shaky premise out of pro­ portion. The story itself is riddled with glaring problems bound to per­ plex anyone trying to sort out the film's ridiculous "mystery ." But if you can distance yourself from tiie big picture and focus on the moment-by-moment comedy, The Big Lebowski will keep you enter­ tained from beginning to end. Audi­ ence manipulation is commonplace in horror movies or thrillers, but is rarely practiced with skill in comedy. The Coen brothers provide an excep­ tion. Just as they control the charac­ ters on screen, they string us along, making us anticipate every reaction. They nave a knack for letting us laugh at ourselves without realizing the joke's on us. The Coens' secret to building strong supporting characters seems to be sketching types of people no one has ever thought to stereotype before. But in The Big Lebowski, their main less buffoon with gusto, making the severely under-motivated protagonist overly energetic. The Dude is sup­ posed to be dense and predictable, but Bridges' enthusiasm for the role makes him even more frustrating than intended If such a notion is conceivable, the Coen brothers actually outdo them­ selves stylistically. They enhance the film with nice touches, such as using THE BIG LEBOWSKI Starring: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, John Turturro, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen Playing a t Lincoln, Tinseltown, Great HHIs Rating: ★ ★ ★ \ (out of five) ______ a narrator who disapproves of the amount oí cursing in the movie. But they never stick to one tech­ nique for very long, failing as often as they succeed. While the plot erratical­ ly searches out its unpredictable course, clunky fantasy sequences derail any direction the story man­ ages to find. Despite its faults, The Big Lebowski is an outrageous blast. The Coens stub­ bornly keep the laughs coming even in the most unlikely spots. But they best show their wit witn subtie obser­ vations about the little mysteries of life: Why do people write checks for lessthanadoUar? The Coens are back where they were before Forgo, making the best second-rate stuff around It may be a step backward, but the more mainstream zaniness of The Big Lebowski is likely to reach a larger audience, winning the Coen brothers many more fans. Seasoned actors not enough to redeem ‘Twilight’ Daily Texan Staff Paul Newman stars in Twilight, an intriguing tale of foul ¡day, as private investigator H arry Ross, who, according to local tegend, had his peuÉ shot oft while retrieving a kid­ nap victim in Mexico.
