Vol. 98 No. 137 3 ru c Da il y T exan UT schools develop research programs The student newspaper of The University of Texas at Austin Wednesday, April 28,1999 t Officials at each of the minority- majority schools in the UT System, all of w hich are located in South Texas or near the U .S.-M exico bor­ der, said com m unity o u treach is one of the most im portant parts of a university system. " I t 's o n e o f th e g o o d th in g s a b o u t h a v in g m o re th a n o n e s c h o o l," said M a ria n o T r u jillo , assistant director of outreach ser­ vices at UT-San Antonio. T ru jillo added that stu d ents at U T S y ste m c o m p o n e n t s c h o o ls often come from the nearby com ­ m unity and therefore have a per­ sonal interest in developm ent pro­ grams.

House OKs hate crime bill Danielle Cooper Daily Texan Staff Follow ing an em otional debate Tuesd ay, the Texas H ouse of Representatives gave initial approval to the James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act. The legislation would enhance an offender's punishment if a court finds that a victim is selected based on race, disability, religion, national origin or ancestry, sexual preference, gender, age or pregnancy. "This bill is designed to prevent and punish hate crimes and criminals that engage in sick, cowardly behavior," said Thom pson, Senfronia D-Houston, the bill's sponsor. The measure includes provisions to aid law enforcement in handling hate- crime cases — including specialized training for police, funding for smaller counties to prosecute these cases and a hate crimes prosecutor in the attorney general's office. Victims would also be able to obtain a protective order if they are repeated­ ly harassed because of bias or preju­ dice, which could protect individuals from further harm, said Rep. Debra Danburg, D-Houston. "T h is section will prevent hate crimes before they happen," Danburg said. But Wayne Christian, R-Center — who represents the district where Byrd, an A frican A m erican, w as dragged to his death behind a truck earlier this year — said the bill stretch­ es beyond the Legislature's capacity by attempting to legislate individuals' thoughts. "It's not within the power of the Legislature to stop hate," Christian said. Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Houston, said the legislation outlaws conduct — not thought or speech. "There is nothing in this bill that puts a limit on free speech," Dutton said. "N othing in this statute pre­ scribes that people like anybody." Thompson said many provisions in the Texas Penal Code require courts to judge a defendant's state of mind when committing a crime, including determining intent. "If you are going to be true on your campaign promises to be tough on crime, what is your problem now?"

Andrew Loehman/DAILY TEXAN STAFF UT professors use technology creatively in classroom Dan Camevale Daily Texan Staff Often, when a teacher asks a lecture h a ll full of stu d ents to an sw er a q u e s tio n , the re sp o n se is b la n k stares. Perhaps there may be one or tw o class­ mates who blurt out the correct answer. But the silent majority may either be confused or just uninterested. "I becam e aw are of the fact that often there was a substantial portion,of the class who did not follow the nuances present­ e d ," said C h a rle s C hiu, a p ro fe sso r of physics. "M y ultimate goal was to engage the en tire class, to have stu d en ts think along with me during my lecture." To the dismay of students who like to sit anonymously in the back row, Chiu's class­ room has a computer hook-up that requires each of the students to answer electronical­ ly when a question is posed. The system is one of many experimental in n o v atio n s p ro fesso rs th ro u g h o u t the University are implementing to use tech­ nology and equipment to better students' educational experience. Students get the benefit of being exposed to the latest in technology instruction. But that doesn't come without a price. Colleges that rely heavily on technology tend to be the most expensive in terms of fees paid. Although the actual benefits that come w ith technology are difficult to measure, students and teachers alike seem to enjoy the creative innovations and get valuable uses from them.

Advertising 447 is an elective course rather than a part of a seminar series. It costs about $150,000 to replace the 14 program computers every three years, rather than every 10 years. It costs about $30,000 to $60,000 to maintain the hardware each year, rather than $20,000. Furniture costs include desks and drawers for art, rather than couches.

You should realize that grati­ tude is due to our public schools for providing free education for 13 years. Don't forget that you also attend one of the best public schools in the nation. Anyone with a mind of their own would realize that schools do not force us in any way to suc­ cumb to a "power ... from above." School teaches us how to think on a higher level than we would be able to without education. Education is the key to productive living, so that we are not "fellow prisoners." There is a reason why drop-outs end up "flipping hamburgers." blaming To refute your point further, Little­ ton is not an "archaic" school system, in fact, it is known for its great schools. The only thing archaic here seems to be your thought process — automatically higher authority — that's original. Also, these kids were 17 and 18 years old. It is not crucial that they have had a chance to make major decisions about something. These kids were obviously able to think, plot and make major decisions on their own. They bought guns, built bombs, and took lives. If these killers are cru­ saders for free will, then Hitler is free will's own martyr. The major decision these kids did make on behalf of their own minds and free will was major enough to cost 13 others, as well as themselves, any chance to exercise their will ever again. Now tell me educational insti­ tutions are responsible for murder­ ous behavior. Marilee Hazel Government junior Whose voice is it? This year, some students at UT have been fairly vocal about criticiz­ ing a number of the editorial stand­ points taken by The Daily Texan Edi­ torial Board. Among the controver­ sial views of the Editorial Board was their explicit endorsement of a candi­ date, during the recent elections, who ran on a platform endorsing the total abolition of Student Govern­ ment. Another much-disputed view­ point taken by the Editorial Board is their unwavering assertion that the increasing of the Texas Union Fee should be decided by student refer­ endum — many student leaders claim that this would make a neces­ sary reform impossible. All of this leads to a rather inter­ esting question: When taking their standpoints in campus matters, does the Ed i tonal Board speak only for its staff, or is it obligated to be a voice for students at the University? Wednesday at 7 p.m., the Union Council's Student Issues Committee will examine that question in a Crossfire debate entitled: "W hose Voice Is It7" in the Union Showroom. The SIC encourages all interested students, faculty and staff to attend and participate. Present and incom­ ing Student Government presidents and I ex an editors, among others, will be at hand discussing a hotly debated topic — whether newspa­ pers should speak for their commu­ nities or themselves. Vikrant P. Reddy Student Issues Committee member Bad behavior Ok, let me just get this out at the beginning: Rhys Southan — What in the hell are you smoking? I cannot believe you have the nerve to think that our nations schools are to blame for murderous rampages. How can you glorify what the gunmen an Columbine High did by saying that they were trying to "take back their minds" from a repressing school sys- unlike ourselves. By the way, I am a "Liberal Arts major by choice" and, frankly, proud of it. Kristy Orr Psychology senior Face it Face it, "Frat Boys" will always be pictured as beer-guzzling, date rap­ ing, khaki-wearing, holier-than-thou, egotistical members of the system. Just the same as "Freaks" will always be pictured as pierced and dyed, arti­ san nomads, who use drugs and ask for change whenever they see you. It is this kind of faceless stereotyping that leads to incidents like the school shooting last week. I find it rather frightening that people spend more time demonizing and degrading other people than they do trying to get to know each other and our dif­ ferences. What has separated us from the animals, is this amazing ability to think, reason and communicate. Yet we resort to pulling out a gun and killing someone that is different, or makes us angry. Why, when we are really the same? It makes me question whether or not the human race is actually the superior species on this planet. No other species will kill there own over arbitrary bullshit, like the color of your shoes or because someone calls you a freak, or because you just happen to be in the wrong neighborhood. Life is too pre­ cious to waste in such meaningless ways. And to Mr. Andrew Arora, at no time in my life have I seen such a sense of unity and love than I did at Eeyore's birthday; it's a shame you missed it because you were too busy doing a keg stand. Brian Parrett Theatre and Dance sophomore 1 want to address Mr. Arora's Tuesday Firing Line. I am not a member of a fraternity, nor would I answer yes to 11 of his questions because I don't have things like body piercings. I think some people on this campus create a false dichotomy between Greeks and non-Greeks. There are many, many people here who aren't Greek, yet do not have any body piercings or anything of the sort. There are also fraternities which allegedly don't haze. There are frat boys with 4.0s and Greeks who don't torture goats and even care about their fellow men and women. Mr. Arora, however, has at least implied that he does not care about those who have the misfortune to live under oppressive states in the third world by claiming that caring would be a sign of freakiness. Well, if caring makes me a freak, then call me a freak, and call everyone else a freak who has a shred of decency. And I believe there are Greeks who have a shred of decency as well, but Mr. Arora would claim that Greeks have no decency at all. He deserves a paddling. Michael Hoffman Biochemistry/Plan II Honors junior For you, Mr. Mathman Wow. I didn't realize that caring about humanitarian rights placed us on the freak list. Well, in response to your freak checklist, may we offer our own list of questions that you, a self- proclaimed Greek, might ask yourself next time you gaze into a reflective surface: 1. Do I believe that khaki comes in different shades? 2. Do I consider the GAP my one stop clothing shop? 3. Do I actually believe that Bob Popular has "something for every­ one"? 4. Do I consider myself artistic because I came up with a tropical island/ rodeo/ pirate theme for a party? 5. Am I heterosexual because I'm sure that women like me? 6. Do I classify raising money for a party as charity work? 7 Do I advertise which formal din­ ners I've attended on a T-shirt? 8. Do I advertise anything I've done on a T-shirt? 9. Do I listen to Nirvana/ Korn/ The Doors in my SUV on the drag, yet I don't know why? 10. Do I plan my classes around Rush Week? 11. During Rush Week, have I, at any time, required pledges to be nude, for any reason, while retaining my heterosexual status? 13. Have I done my part to perpet­ uate the myth that semen is good for a girl's complexion? 14. Have I ever used the word "Helia" to describe something and not been joking? 15. Have I ever "bassed" country music in my "ride"? 16. Do I react to mention of Tommy Hilfiger, Jeff Foxworthy, or George Bush Jr. with a wistful sigh and the words, "Man, they are hella dope." 17. Do 1 believe that date rape is an urban legend? 18. Have I ever contributed to the death of a pledge during hazing? 19. Do I require alcoholic supervi­ sion by the University of Texas? 20. Have I ever avoided cleaning up after a party because I really didn't want to explain the dead girl in the bathtub to the police? 21. Did I ever, at any time in the 1990s, willingly participate in any mix, form, or version of the Macare­ na? Think about this.

Kelly Daily Texan Staff In an effort to increase UT voter turnout, Student Government plans to appoint an ad-hoc committee in the coming weeks to investigate the p o s s i b il ity of o n lin e v o tin g for future SG elections. Robby Slaughter, former SG two- year at-large representative, spon­ sored a bill during the last assembly that calls for the new SG president to appoint the committee. . Slaughter said the current method of phone voting cheats many stu­ dents out of their chance to vote. He added that with 69 telephones open for 17 hours of voting, only a frac­ tion of the student population — about 13,000 — could possibly vote. "Students may be apathetic about voting, but I don't think it's fair to voting but I d o n 't think it's fair to make that assumption until we give everyone the chance to vote," he said. Long lines may discourage a lot of students from voting, Slaughter said, a d d in g th at o n lin e v o tin g might help alleviate this problem. Approximately 5,000 students voted in the recent SG elections. "Fundamentally, it would allow all students to vote without waiting in lines and w ithout the extrem e cost of ru n ning an election with telephones and temporary w o rk ­ ers," he said. S la u g h te r said a c c o rd in g to a report from the SG financial advi­ sor; the last election cost students $12,265 in student services fees. The expenses pro vid e telephones for TEX voting and temDorarv wnrkprs 1 EX voting and temporarv w orkers to staff the polls. But an online voting co m p any recently gave SG an estim a te of $15,000 for one election cycle, said SG President Parisa Fatehi. Fatehi said, online or not, their goal is to maximize voter turnout. "There seem to be a lot of stu ­ dents fru stra te d w ith v o tin g on TEX," Fatehi said. She added that she has heard of many success stories at other uni­ versities, but it's unclear if online voting will work for the University. James Vick, vice president for stu­ dent affairs, said he favors online voting if it can make elections more co nvenient and increase student involvement. '.There are obvious concerns -— i n , . . a like security and the integrity of the process," Vick said. "If we can deal with those concerns, I'm all for it." . . Michael Kemper, a student work­ ing in the Texas A&M University s tu d en t g o v e rn m e n t o ffice, said their method of voting by Scantron works well on the campus. There are 10 or 12 different vot­ ing stations in convenient centers around campus," Kemper said. "It's not hard to vote, everywhere you go you see voting places." He added that A&M draws about 10,000 voters, or almost 25 percent of the student population. Vick said he didn't think Scant- rons would be a satisfactory method for voting in SG elections. Somehow I feel it would be easi­ er to get people to vote using the . - C - T . Internet rather than a paper ballot,' he said. Vick added that he will support online voting as long as it is safe from voter fraud. "You need to have a system in which you're absolutely certain the person voting is the person who's supposed to be voting," Vick said. Slaughter said the committee will Took into o n lin e v o tin g used by other universities, such as the Uni­ versity of Michigan, University of Colorado and Missouri State. The committee is expected to submit a w ritte n re p o rt to the a s s e m b ly before Oct. 1, 1999, detailing the fea­ sibility of the project. Online voting is already used at the U niversity by the UT A u stin Faculty Council for their elections. ■ Laura Bush cuts ribbon at literacy center on campus If it were not for the Austin Learning Academy, I would not be here today.

Senate Bill 22, authored by Sen. Jane N elson , R-Flower M ound, w ould place dom estic violen ce assaults involving bodily injury on the 3g list of offenses to lengthen prison sentences and prevent pro­ bation. A nyone convicted of the 3g offenses, which currently include murder, rape, aggravated assault 44 Anything that takes away the option that puts them back on the street is a good thing.” —Autumn WMams, manager ofpubHc affatoofSafe Place with a deadly weapon and indecen­ cy w ith a child, are eligible for parole after they serve half of their prison sentence. "The current laws regarding fam­ ily violence do not go far enough to punish abusers and place an undue burden on the victim, who is forced to wade through the court system for protection ... What I want to do with this legislation is place the burden where it belongs — on the abusers," Nelson said in a state­ ment. SB 22 is one of six bills in Nel­ son's domestic violence package that have passed the Senate and are now p en d in g in the House. The bills are intended to provide protec­ tion for victims, extend prison sen­ tences, suspend handgun permits of abusers and make a second fami­ ly violence assault a third-degree felony. Autumn Williams, manager for public affairs of SafePlace, a domes­ tic violence and sexual assault sur­ vival center, said she supports SB 22 because it eliminates the possi­ bility of probation and ensures the safety of battered women. "We would hope there could be s tro n g e r m easu res ta k e n w h e n there is a lesser charge pu t before the court," Williams said. "But any­ thing that takes away the option that puts them back on the street is a good thing." Aaron Schmidt, president of the University Democrats, also s u p ­ ports the bill but said it w ouldn't greatly affect UT students because many abuses go unreported. "I w ould be supportive of any efforts to end domestic violence, b u t d o m estic violence is rarely prosecuted because, a lot of times, college k id s just u n fo r tu n a te l y don't utilize the resources to keep that kind of violence from occur­ rin g ," said S chm idt, a g o v e r n ­ m ent/ public relations junior. Jane M org an Bost, asso c ia te director at the UT Counseling and Mental Health Center, agreed that domestic abuses are underreported. "It is a very serious problem — we a re on ly p a r ti a ll y g u e s s in g because it is underreported, b u t it is definitely a national problem," Bost said. *Tt is not unique to the University of Texas, or Austin."

"Actually, it's a relief. This is a tough course and the conditions have been pretty rough out here. I'm just glad it's over." The No. 8 L on g h o rn s also regrouped as a team on Tuesday, as th ey card ed a to u rn a m e n t-lo w final round of one-un der-par 279, b u t this w as only good enough to place them th ird w ith a total of 862, behind No. 30 Kansas (857) and No. 15 N ebraska (859). Texas shot a 14-over 294 and a nine-over 289 in the first tw o rounds, respec­ tively. too "We played good today," said Texas head coach John Fields. "U nfo rtunately we fell far behind and couldn't m ake u p the strokes. The hardest part for us w as coming in here w ith very little expe­ rience playing this course. A nytim e you shoot u n der p ar on this course it is an achievem ent." Freshm an M att Brost team ed with Gossett as the only Longhorns to shoot u n der par at the Big 12 tournam ent. Brost coupled a one- under 69 in the final round w ith scores of 79 and 75, to finish in a tie for 27th place w ith a 223.

Rocket slips off hook Rangers chase Clemens in second inning, but Yankees storm back to keep streak alive Associated Press jé b k . ARLINGTON — Roger Clem ens' 17-game w inning streak is still intact — barely. D espite allow ing five runs in the first inning and leaving because of a bad ham string after the second inning Tues- day night, Clemens will get another chance to set the AL record for consecutive wins, thanks to his N ew York Yankees teammates. Paul O'Neill hit an RBI single and Chili Davis h ad a sacrifice fly as the Yankees rallied for tw o runs in the ninth against John Wette- land for a 7-6 victory over the Texas Rangers. Clem ens w ound u p w ith a no­ decision, preserving his w inning string. He allow ed five runs on four hits and tw o w alks in tw o innings, then left w ith a stiff left ham string. H e's not sure w hether he'll take his next shot at consecutive w in No. 18. His tu rn comes up next Sunday at Kansas City. " I tw eaked my ham string in my last start (but) I thought I could go today," said Clem ens, a native Texan w ho h ad the add ed incen­ tive of going for the milestone in front of more than 50 friends and relatives. "I felt strong w arm ing u p and in the first inning." After throw ing 53 pitches in the first two innings and talking with trainer Gene M onahan, Clemens decided to call it a night. New York w as dow n 5-0 at the time. "I w anted to be out there (but) it w as in m y best interest not to return," said Clemens, w ho hasn't lost since last May 29 against Seat­ tle while w ith Toronto.

Pumo, how­ ever, was thrown out at home on the play to end the Texas threat, but not the before Texas had regained momentum. "W hen they got their two runs and made the offense it 3-2, responded back," Texas head coach Augie Garrido said of the Horns who tallied 16 hits on the night. "That was the first time the pitcher has given anything away and it was good to see the offense rally around that and respond to that. That's when you get it going good." Texas continued to ham m er Roadrunner pitchers, adding a run in the fifth, two in the seventh and two in the ninth. The Longhorn pitching staff couldn't quite match the three of complete games that Dax Leone, Scott Dunn and D.J. tossed this passed weekend against Iowa State, but a trio of Longhorn hurlers con­ tinued to impress. Starter Ryan France, and relievers Beau Hale and Phil Seibel combined to give up a meager three runs on seven hits. Hale was overwhelming in his four innings of work, surrendering only a single hit and one free pass while striking out three. "I had my most em barrassing game of my life last time against them," Hale said of his performance during an 11-10 victory by UTSA earlier in the season. "I really came out with a statement tonight."

The victory moved Sacramento past idle Minnesota and into the sev­ enth playoff spot in the Western Con­ ference and snapped San A n t o n i o ' s s e v e n -g a m e w i n n i n g streak. Vernon Maxwell scored 15 points and Williams had 14 points and seven assists for the Kings, who won for the sixth time in seven games, despite playing without Chris Webber. Webber, who leads the team in scoring (20.1) and the league in rebounding (13.0), missed his sec­ ond straight game with a sprained lower back and is questionable for Thursday's game. Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 32 points and 19 rebounds, while David Robinson had 17 points and 15 rebounds. Avery Johnson gave the Spurs a third double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Ahead by one point, Williams made a baseline jumper and Jon Barry followed with a steal and passed to Maxwell for a layup, putting the Kings ahead 101-96 with 52 seconds left. The Kings made three free throws to seal the victory. Williams opened the overtime with a 3-pointer and scored on a drive in thene, putting Sacramento ahead 97-94 with 2:35 left. Following a Kings' turnover, Robinson scored inside, tying the game 92-92 with 14 seconds left in regulation. Duncan missed a short baseline jumper at the buzzer, send­ ing the game into overtime. Divac put the Kings ahead 92-88, scoring over Duncan with 1:44 remaining. Duncan came back to pull San Antonio w ithin 92-90, rebounding a missed shot with 34 seconds left. Corliss Williamson, scoreless in the first half, scored nine points in the third quarter as Sacramento took a 79-73 lead. Houston is counting on Scottie Pippen to step things up for the Rockets as the team enters the postseason. ASSOCIATED PRESS Avoiding the meltdown Rockets hoping late-season slide ceases before playoffs Associated Press HOUSTON — The Houston Rock­ ets aren't cured of their season-long tendency to sputter and they know it. There's work to be done before the playoffs begin. the They beat Los struggling Angeles Lakers 102-80 Monday night, but so has everyone else recently. The Rockets will know more about how they are after back-to-back games beginning Thursday against Dallas and Utah in Compaq Center. "If you judge by this [Lakers vic­ tory) we're ready for the playoffs," Charles Barkley said. "B u t we just cam e off losses, so who knows? The playoffs will take care of themselves." three The Rockets have surged and retreated all season. They had a nine-game winning streak halted by the Utah Jazz on April 1. Counting that loss, the Rockets are only 6-8 since the streak ended. Houston still is trying to devel­ op the ability io put teams away. They kept the Lakers down but blew a 23-p oint seco n d -qu arter lead to the San Antonio Spurs on April 18, losing 86-83 on a last-sec­ ond shot by form er Rockets guard M ario Elie. "A championship team continues to grow and build upon a founda­ tion," Hakeem Olajuwon said. "We have thought we had the foundation other then we slacked off, not purposefully." this year, times The Rockets were solid champi­ onship contenders before the season started. Barkley returned fit and slim following surgery last season. Olajuwon looked as if he'd found a magic youth potion, showing new spring in his Dream Shake. The biggest piece of the puzzle was supposed to be Scottie Pippen, who signed a five-year, $67.5 million contract in January. But he's struggled to fit into the Rockets system and added further distraction when he was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicat­ ed following a loss to the Dallas Mavericks April 21. The Rockets followed up with losses to the lowly Los Angeles Clip­ pers and the Phoenix Suns, making the Lakers' victory a ray of hope. "I think this (Lakers victory) was our biggest and most meaningful game of the season considering the circumstances," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said. "We did a lot of things that we haven't been doing the last week or so." Every Rockets player knows their coach was speaking about defense. "I believe this team can do it," " If we stay Tomjanovich said. focused and do the right things and the number one priority is defense, then we can beat any team." Pippen has been on a roll since his off-court incident with 20-plus points in each o f the last three games, something he hadn't been able to do all season. "I'm being very aggressive offen­ sively and teams have to honor my outside shot," Pippen said. "W hen I shoot like that [Monday night], the rest of my game is easier." Ohio State’s Penn elects to Ran§ers pass up shot at NBA Draft pitches. Continued from page 7 Associated Press C OLUM BUS, O hio — Scoonie Penn wasn't sure where he would go in the NBA draft, so he decided to stay at Ohio State for three sure things: a good team, good times and a degree. " I basically feel like if I was to make the decision to go out, I think I could make it" in the NBA, Penn said Tuesday, announcing he'd be back with the Buckeyes for his senior confident enough that, yes, I can play. But I don't have to worry about that. My main focus is working hard in the offseason and worrying about this team ." season. "I'm Penn, the Big Ten's co-player of the year, had been considering his options since Ohio State's surprising trip to the Final Four. The third-team All-American said he kept his eyes and his mind open. "A ll you want to focus on is your dream, your goal, of becoming a professional athlete," he said. "It was hard to see anything else because that's all I wanted. I still want it. But I realize there's other things in life besides becoming a professional athlete." Penn said he didn't know how high he might have gone in the draft because it was difficult to factor in the underclassm en who alm ost daily add their names to the list of seniors available. Ohio State head coach Jim O'Brien was vacationing in Florida, but asso­ ciate head coach Rick Boy ages said there was a glut of quality point guards in the draft. "H e's somewhere in the pack," Boyages said. "The obvious names that come to mind besides Scoonie are Andre M iller at Utah, Steve Francis at Maryland, Jason Terry at Arizona, William Avery at Duke. ... There are probably eight or 10 point guards and Scoonie's right in there in the top five or so." The squat, 5-foot-10 shooting guard from Salem, Mass., became a crowd favorite of Ohio State's fans, who had been beaten down by five consecutive losing seasons. Before last season even began, Penn brashly predicted the Buckeyes would make it to the NCAA tour­ nament — despite going 8-22 over­ all and 1-15 in the Big Ten while Penn sat out a transfer year from Boston College. But with Penn averaging 16.9 points, 4.3 assists, 2 steals and 4 rebounds a game, Ohio State posted one of the biggest turnarounds in NCAA history. The Buckeyes fin­ ished 27-9, were second in the Big Ten at 12-4 and were the surprise team of the NCAA tournament before losing to eventual champion Connecticut 64-58 in the national semifinals. Songs about Penn were played on" local radio stations, and kids chant­ ed his name and begged for auto­ graphs after games. His uniform No. 12 became so popular that someone stole it out of the team's dressing room shortly before the start of the UConn game. Derek Jeter singled, and O 'Neill's single tied it at 6. After Bernie Williams grounded out and Tino Martinez was intentionally walked to load the bases, Davis followed with a fly ball that scored the lead run. It was the first blown save of the year in seven attempts for Wette- land, who was the World Series MVP for the Yankees in 1996. M ariano Rivera, W etteland's understudy two years ago, pitched the ninth for his fifth save. Mike Stanton (1-1) got one out for the vic­ tory. New York has beaten Texas three in a row this year and nine of the last 10 meetings. Last year, the Yankees swept the Rangers three straight in the first round of the playoffs. "I don't think there's any question about it — we can beat this team ," Wetteland said. "It's just, we have to go out and do it. That's what we've been failing to do. Tonight, that was my failure." Clemens beat Texas in his previous outing to tie the AL win streak record set by Cleveland's Johnny Allen in 1936-37 and matched by Baltimore's Dave McNally in 1968-69. 44 Before long, I feel we’ll be seeing the Clemens we all know. I’m not concerned. He’ll get it together and win a lot of games for us.” — New York Interim manager Don Dtnmer Carl Hubbell holds the m ajor league record of 24 straight victo­ ries, set in 1936-37 for the New York Giants. Clem ens allowed three singles and two walks to the first five Texas hitters. He didn't get an out until Ivan Rodriguez had an RBI grounder that made it 3-0. Todd Zeile followed with a two-run dou­ ble. Clemens retired the next two bat­ ters and had a 1-2-3 second inning, then didn't come out to pitch the bottom of the third. Instead, Hideki Irabu trotted in from the left-field bullpen. Irabu kept New York in the game by allowing just one run on three hits and a walk in five innings. He struck out five. "H e did what a long reliever is supposed to do — he came in and shut us down for five innings until they were able to get back in the ballgame," Texas manager Johnny Oates said. This was the second time in three starts that Clemens left trailing. And, just like April 15, when New York bounced back from deficits of 4-0 and 7-6 to beat Baltimore 9-7, the high-pow ered Yankees offense saved him. "Before long, I feel w e'll be seeing the Clemens we all know," New York manager Don Zimmer said. "I'm not concerned. H e'll get it together and win a lot of games for us." Chad Curtis' solo homer in the fifth and an RBI single by Jeter made it 5-2. The Rangers got one run back in the bottom of the inning when Rusty Greer scored on a wild pitch by Irabu. Umps cry foul about pitch charts Astros NEW YORK — Major league umpires are angry over baseball's new directive asking teams to chart pitches and file a report about strike zones. "It's nonsensical when you look at it," Richie Phillips, head of the umpires' union, told the New York Post. "It's juvenile. It's just another case of Big Brother watching over us." The umpires perceive the direc­ tive as an attempt to undermine their authority, the newspaper said Tuesday. "I don't think the commissioner's office has the right to unilaterally impose an evaluation system on umpires," Pat Campbell, associate counsel league umpires told The Associated Press. "They have to negotiate with us first. the major for "They're using club personnel to do this. That seems very ineffective to me." Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of the Office of the Com­ missioner, sent a letter to all teams earlier this month, asking that a high-ranking front-office official chart pitches, then file a report at the end of each homestand. Alderson's memo said the direc­ tive's "purpose is to stay on top of trends and provide as much feed­ back as possible to the league presi­ dents and umpire supervisors." In a Feb. 19 memo, Alderson told the umpires to raise the top of the strike zone to 2 inches above the top of the uniform pants — still below the definition called for in the official playing rules: the mid­ point between the top of the shoul­ ders and the top of the uniform pants. Continued from page 7 highs in runs and margin of victory. "It was a breakout day for our hit­ ters," Houston manager Larry Dierker said. " I thought Shane's control was as good as it gets. He was spotting everything exactly where he wanted." Jeff Bagwell had an RBI double in the first before Houston broke loose in the fourth. Ken C am initi singled, Richard Hidalgo doubled and Tony Euse­ bio finished with three hits includ­ ing an RBI single. Ricky Gutierrez was hit by a pitch, loading the bases, and Reynolds squeezed home a run. After Biggio doubled, Derek Bell hit an RBI single that brought John Frasca tore from the bullpen. Bell stole second and scored on Bagwell's single, making it 7-0. "It was a win, but at what cost?" Biggio said. Biggio referred to Gutierrez, the starting shortstop who had his left hand fractured when hit by the pitch in the fourth. Gutierrez will be out 4- 6 weeks. "W e need Ricky," he said. "N ow we're going to be without him for a w hile." Biggio hit a solo homer in the sixth. The Astros added three more runs in the seventh on an RBI single by Tim Bogar and Reynolds' two- run double. Notes: After playing 15 of their first 28 games against teams from the NL Central, the Astros will play only three of their next 28 vs. teams from their d ivision....

Chiu flashes a multiple-choice question on a main screen, and the class busies itself working out the answer and punch­ ing it through the system. The com puter lets him know w h en everyone is done working the problem, then Chiu displays the class's answers on the screen via a bar graph. "We want to see what percentage of the students know the subject," he said. With the instant feedback, Chiu knows if the class is falling behind and where to focus future lectures. The system, in use for about three years now, is used in about five classes. The $18,000 price tag for equipment and set-up was funded from a grant by AT&T. Some students who take the course say they learn a lot more with the computer system. "You're kind of forced to keep up," said Lance McKee, a computer science junior. "If s kind of hard to sit in the back and not know what's going on." Voice Lessons For those students who actually have singing talent, it's not always enough to hear your voice while practicing. Sometimes you have to see it. The solution is a complicated piece of equipment that records the singer's voice through a microphone, analyzes the voice pattern, then displays it graphically on a computer monitor. "I can see if the sound is continuous," said Darlene Wiley, a professor of voice who runs the equipment. "We're making sure that the patterns are really consistent." A lecia Batson, a vocal perform ance senior, puts on the headset in preparation for her personal instruction with Wiley. As Batson speaks into the microphone, the monitor displays some gray blotches — showing the low, disorganized pattern of normal speech. --------------------------------- w w My ultimate goal was to engage the entire class, to have students think along with me during my lecture.” Charles Chiu, a professor of physics who usos a computer system to pub students — But then her voice rings in the air, and the monitor maps out a wave pattern of a vibrato. Meanwhile, a video camera is focused on Batson so she can see the shape of her m outh and her posture on a television screen as she sings. Wiley shouts out critiques as Batson sings a classical piece, telling her to hold her teeth in a certain way and not to drop her lip. "Mouth shape, jaw angle, tongue have everything to do with that acoustic read­ out," W iley said. "It's a skill that they have to master." Batson watches the screens as she sings and adjusts her voice to get the readout she wants. "I'm a real visual learner," she said. "I can see a big difference in terms of placement and the forenotes that are being filled." The $30,000 for the equipment was paid for by a grant from the College of Fine A rts. O ther pieces, such as a Yam aha piano, are on loan, and an Intel computer was donated as a gift. Also, resources from the computer sci­ ences departm ent and UT technical sup­ port help keep the program running. "Sm all colleges d o n 't have these resources," Wiley said. Use the Force For all the theory a civil engineer stud­ ies when learning how to design build­ ings that w on't collapse, nothing beats real-life experience. Students get the pleasure of grappling with a multitude of formulas and equations i M i n u t m e e n e w i u / U H i L Y I L A M rv b I A r r A le c ia B a t s o n , a v o c a l p e rfo rm a n c e s e n io r, s in g s in to a m ic ro p h o n e w h ile v ie w in g h e r fa c e on a te le v is io n s c re e n a n d h e r v o ic e m e a s u re m e n ts o n a m o n ito r.

The grand finale to Civil Engineering 331 involves using a large machine to test the strength of reinforced concrete beams — universally used in buildings, bridges and other structures. The students have already estim ated the cracking point of the beam through their formulas. Now they can see if their calculations hold up under the weight. "They'll get some real-world ideas into w hat their calculations actually mean," said Robert Barnes, an assistant instructor who teaches the course. A 6-inch by 12-inch by 10-foot beam sits on supports while a hydraulic press exerts a controlled amount of force. Eventually, the concrete beam buckles u n d er the force applied to it. M arker- w ielding students mark the cracks and compare the results to their predictions. "It will go through different stages of behavior until you get to the point where it just won't carry any more load," Barnes said. The m achine has been squeezing and crushing cement beams for about 25 years, mostly for privately contracted research by the University for whoever is interested. It can create a force of up to about 25 tons. For the past three years, students have been able to use the sam e m achine for their personal studies. The cost is minimal — the University spends a little over $200 to create a couple of beams. "This is a fairly rare experience that they're getting," Barnes said. Peter Mull, a civil engineering senior enrolled in the course, said the machine bridges the gap between pencil-and-paper study and real-life application. "We're taught a lot of theory in class," Mull said. "Something like this lets us see w h a t this actually means in the real world.'

The student-written, s tu d e n t-p erfo rm ed sk its a re n 't all golden, but the sheer variety of the program, which runs just under two hours, provides something for every­ one. Before each skit, a short poem that inspired the skit is read by a player in a spotlight on the left side of the stage. The skits relate to the poems, most of which deal with the successes and fail­ ures asso ciated w ith p assin g from adolescence into adulthood.

For once, the scream ing is set aside (for a w hile) and D eering and Paul M a rga re t Boren, a Plan II junior, p lays a ghost freed by a love potion in the Poetic License skit "The W ron g W a y to Flirt.” Aaron Wiethoff/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Gne note from M oa's throat, and it becomes apparent that she's no aver­ age singer. At the same tim e jarring and intriguing, her high-pitched voice navigates the notes w ell, and when placed in the right context, it invokes the sultry sound Billie Holliday. Universal opens with the uptempo "Joy & Pain." The song flows over a tight beat while Moa delivers a sultry tale of d ecid ing b etw een w hat one should do and what one wants to do. M ost o f the son gs on the album are ju st plain pop songs, produced w ith e le ctro n ic in stru m en ts.

But the sound sound doesn't quite fit, resulting in a song that sounds plain silly. A nother song that d o esn 't fit the mold is "Raining in My H eart." Here Moa turns to disco — and it's not just an updated, disco-influenced sound. She sings about love and a relation­ ship gone bad, and it all com es out surprisingly well. It's cheesy, uplift­ ing and groovy — perfectly suited for a disco club. The best songs on the album are the ones in which M oa and collabo-* r a to r E y th o r A rn a ld s in c o rp o ra te heavy jazz influences into the music.

With instru­ ments in hand, the musicians strutted on stage, joining the band in rough and brassy versions of Klczmcr and free-form jazz tunes. The event was a precursor gig for its big band shows on April 29 and 30, a way for the band members and the - . , . collaborators to get a feel for jamming together. The big band project came from the brains of Lobel and guitarist Adrian Q uesada as they searched for new ways to expand their musical creativi­ ty while shedding light on Austin's nebulous jazz scene. In addition to the normal quartet, Thursday and Friday's shows will feature five local musicians playing original BNB compositions and a few standards by legendary jazz artists like Duke Ellington. The guest musicians include June Rhee on violin, Dave Wolfe on trum- W E D Y A T FOOD DRINK & FUN BE HERE FOR SUNSET $3 F r °z eNS A L L N I G H T L‘Ve MUSfC bjj H°NeJj Br°WNe o n t h e B i g D e c k ISLaNd Reggae i n t h e MAIN ROOM H 'p H « p , n t h e RHINO ROOM 472-MANGO 4 2815 GUADALUPE 46 I told her that I just wanted her to go nuts, make awful, disgusting sounds so at the end of the night there wouldn’t be any hairs left on her bow." — David Lobel, saxophonist pet, Dylon Robbins on saxophone, Jeremy Moore on trombone and Sarah Norris on vibraphone. "Compositionally it's very exciting to work with a larger grou p ," said b a ssist Tom Benton. "A ll the new sounds coupled with the increase in the sheer number of voices presents the perfect opportunity to commit all those things you've been hearing in your head to paper. "It's sort of analogous to a painter working on a small canvas versus the side of the building; neither is intrinsi­ cally a better medium, but each offers it's own advantages," he said. "In our case, having spent a great deal of time exploring the nooks and crannies of the quartet, ifs very exciting to finally paint our own mural." With the recent addition of Benton and drummer Jeremy Bruch, the band has formed a unique style interweav­ ing sounds and techniques as unique as Quesada's classical/flamenco back­ ground. "Our m usic o b viou sly h as jazz structure, but there are so many th reads running through it that it makes us a hybrid of a lot of different stuff," said Lobel. "For instance, a lot of Tom's compositions are based on Klezmer music, which derives from Eastern European Jews, and my stuff has a lot of Claude Debussy classical elements applied to jazz rhythms. As for Adrian he just likes to get funky." "There is a genre of experimental jazz and I'd say we're experimental but we don't fit in that cliche," Lobel added.

Although the band focuses on both com position and and free-form improvisation, it satisfies a wide spec­ trum of sounds, playing at venues such as The Elephant Room, Em o's and everywhere in between. Proving its versatility, the band pro­ vided the music for last week's hip- hop night at the Union. "You could really put us in any situ­ ation and we will enjoy it and try to make it live," said Quesada. "I'm not worried about our creativity slowing down because when you have four people who are into so much different music at once, you get what we do, a combination of refined craft." But because gigging around town isn t enough to push the band in new directions, it hopes that this big band project will satisfy its m ultitude of musical cravings. "One reason we are doing this is to work with other musicians who have a lot to offer but don't necessarily come out and do th in gs like th is," said Lobel. "Another is that we realized that we wanted another horn player on some songs, and my compositions were written specifically for this num­ ber of people and I knew I wanted to have a violin." After dedicating his spring break writing and scoring for each big band instrument, Lobel found time between weekly gigs to rehearse with everyone individually and in small groups. "I've been working with the violinist the most because she is the most unac­ customed to getting nutty," said Lobel. "The classical players are taught to sound beautiful and that"s in her mind. So she was a little scared when I first asked her to play with us because she thought she w as going to have to im provise over a bunch of chord changes. But I told her that I just wanted her to go nuts, make awful, disgusting sounds so at the end of the night there wouldn't be any hairs left on her bow." Being that this 11-song show is it's biggest project, the band feels that composing and collaborating may be if s forte. And aside from individual projects, including Quesada's hip-hop collage using local jazz-influenced artists, the band intends on exercising all possible outlets. The band intents to record an album over the sum m er, w hich w ill be accompanied by a tour at the end of the year. And because the band never stops the search for new musical expe­ riences, it's willing to play anything, whether it be a dance collaboration, a bar mitzvah or a birthday party. "Once you've played for a bunch of naked rugby players at Nasty's, if s all cake from there," said Bruch.

Though you have lots to do, a happy Aries is a wild one. Frolic 'til the cows come home. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Digging deep into the sould of others is some­ too times best left alone. If you dig deep, you may get buried alive. Gemini (May 21-June 20): A quiet evening with a lover or friend may be just what you need to take your mind off the chaos. Might I suggest a little trip to the grocery store and a nice Martha Stewart recipe to wind you down? Go for what makes you happy. Cancer (June 21-July 22): Being a tyrant to your parents right now is not the path you want to take. They have money and are established. You're not. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The phones m ay be ringing tonight with upset friends. Stop the excuses you have been giving them and face the facts. Lying will just send you into more trouble. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept 22): Weird and w h im sical spurts of energy m ay have you confused as to if you are happy or sad. If the confusion per­ sists, find a good party to bring you to the happy side or a cup of coffee to sim ply keep you awake. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be a little scared about up com ing events, but there is no need to worry. You can be your w orst enem y at times. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): M ake a decision and stick to it. People are sick o f you being fickle. Show them you can be relied on to get things done. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have to do a little showboating today, go for it. You can be a performer when you want to. Let others see you shine. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Raise the stakes in any risky financial ven­ ture you have entered into. Be aware that a budget is necessary for the game. It is your biggest playing card. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A h o hum day doesn't have to stay that way. Em brace the nicer side of nature through a walk or bike ride. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Naughty, naughty, Pisces. There are things you shouldn't be doing.
