WHAT ARE YOU G O N N A BE? ^ C A LL 6 3 7 .7 1 0 0 WE P U T P EO PLE TO W ORK ES PUF Continued from page 1 would add an estimated $34 mil­ lion to the UT and A&M systems' current fiscal year budgets alone. Tom Ricks, UTIMCO president and CEO, said Proposition 17 will give the fund m an ag ers g reater flexibility to invest. He added that the am endment would help the PUF outpace infla­ tion, th e reb y in c rea s in g the UT System's purchasing power. "[The purchasing power] of the fund w o u ld no t be m a in t a in e d under the «surrent constitutional provision, and this situation will be further aggravated as oil and gas d is t r ib u t i o n on P U F land declines over time," Ricks said. More than half of the PUF has come from oil and gas revenues on UT System-owned lands. In 1923, the d iscovery of oil at the Santa Rita No. 1 well led to the creation o f th e UT and A & M S y s t e m s ' endowment fund. But since the 1970s, the fund has been shifting from a mineral-based to a stock-based investment. In its inception, the en d o w n m en t was completely financed by oil and gas royalties. Now, only 1 percent of the endowment is funded by min­ eral income. In its latest investment report, published in 1998, UTIMCO attrib­ utes this investment change to the decline in oil and gas prices, and to decreased mineral production on the university lands. "It is clear that future growth in annual PUF d istribu tio n s to the AUF must be generated through return on investment capital," the UTIMCO report reads. E a r li e r th is m o n th , th e UT System Board of Regents asked the UT Bureau of Economic Geology to study the future value of oil and gas on UT system-owned lands in West Texas. James Benson, assistant director of U n iversity L and s-W est Texas Operations, said although miner­ als a re d e p l e t a b l e , t h e r e are enough resources to en su re that the PUF will receive money from oil in the future. "I suspect that [the bureau] will predict oil reserves into the middle of next century," he said, adding that the results of the study will be available early next year. But the majority of the fund's growth during the past decade has been from investm ents in bonds, s t o c k s and p r i v a t e in v e s tm e n t management companies. C onstitutional provisions co n ­ cerning the PUF were last changed in 1988, with a similar referendum — Proposition 3 — which allowed PUF managers greater leeway in the kinds of stocks they invested in. Since U T IM C O 's start in 1996, the PUF's investment assets have grown from $5.2 billion in 1996 to $6.5 billion in 1998, according to UTIMCO. Bur earlier this year U TIM C O and its board of d ire cto rs cam e under fire for those private invest­ ments. In March, the Houston Chronicle reported that U TIM C O invested $252 million in firms with ties to t h e n - U T I M C O C h a i r m a n Tom Hicks. In addition, a 1996 state au d i­ tor's report w arned of potential conflict of interest at UTIMCO. "Because private investments ... may cre a te su b tle re la tio n s h ip s a m o n g parties in v o lv e d , stron g controls are needed to ensure that potential conflicts of interest are a d e q u a te ly id e n tifie d , resolved and disclosed," the report reads. But R ick s c h a l l e n g e d the C hron icle ^rticle, adding that the board of directors makes ethical d e c is i o n s th a t p la c e th e fund ahead of personal gains. "We dispute any ánd all allega­ tions of conflicts of interest that have been reported in the media," he said. "U T and UTIMCO officers fol­ low a rigorous code of ethics."

"W e have met all these authori­ ties and have met with them fre­ quently," Sanchez said. "They and many others are con­ vinced that we are handling the b u s in e s s o f U T I M C O in a v ery proper way." 46 3 1 A IR P O R T BLVD. 4 5 0 -1 9 6 6 / 29 A re You Coming Down With T he “Common Cold”?

The panel of state officials, busi­ nessmen, education officials and clergy is to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by Nov. 1,2000. Debate Continued from page 1 Gore sought to take the offensive 15 m inu tes before the television cameras were switched on — and again as the scheduled hour was w ra p p in g up, w hen he said he would gladly remain to answer any remaining questions. Earlier, while onstage for intro­ ductions to the audience, the vice president turned to the audience and said: "What do we do now? ... Why don't you start asking some questions while we're waiting." With that, members of the audi­ ence did. The first q u e stio n w as ab o u t bipartisanship, and both candidates pledged to work with Republicans and Democrats. The two men sat on stools at a Dartmouth College auditorium for the 60-minutes debate, televised by CNN. The first ballots of the 2000 primary campaign will be cast in New Hampshire in February, and the polls show Bradley with a lead, having overcome Gore's enormous early advantage. O n ly a few m o m en ts into the d e b a te , G ore w as asked abo ut Clinton. "I understand the disappointment and anger that you feel toward Presid en t C linto n , and I felt it myself," he replied. "People want to move on and turn the page and focus on the future and not the past." The vice president added: "H e's my friend. I took an oath under the Constitution to serve my country through thick and thin, and I inter­ preted that o ath to m ean that I ought to try and provide as much continuity and civility ... as I possi­ bly could." Gore also noted there were "some real hard fights" on economic and other issues at the time. The two rivals pledged their sup­ port to an overhaul of campaign finance laws, to reduce the role of big money. And they agreed, in general terms, about the need to expand health c are coverage. Elections Continued from page 1 "T h e time has come to face the fact that the Texas Constitution in itself is obsolete," Stouffer said. He added that interest groups may take ad van tag e of frequ en t constitutional revision to negotiate amendments for special funds, tax breaks and other benefits. "As long as the amendment train rolls f r e q u e n t ly th ro u g h n ea rly every legislative session, the temp­ tation is sometim es too much for special interests to add on a car or two," he said. Stouffer said frequent elections decrease voter turnout. As few as 5 percent of the voting-age popula­ tion vote on certain amendments, he added, predicting only 10 to 15 percent of the electorate would vote on this year's constitutional amend­ ments.

"Put simply, the job of being a good citizen has become too onerous a task in 20th- century Texas." Ratliff said the current constitu­ the tion ca u se s p ro b lem s Legislature as well as citizens. for "We wire around the constitution its co n s ta n tly to work w ith in boundaries," he said. Ratliff added that it would be dif­ ficult to find congressional support for rewriting the constitution. "Legislative1 bodies are not anx­ ious to tackle difficult political votes when not in the face of crisis," he said. Sen. Tom Haywood, R-Wichita Falls, supported the idea of rewrit­ ing the constitution, but said it was not feasible, said Jennifer Ransom Rice, Haywood's communications director. Rice said special interests could influence a new constitution just as they influence the amendments. "When you totally rewrite some­ thing like that, it leaves room for sp e cia l in te re sts to try to take advantage of it," she said.

Russian officials also blame the militants for apartment bombings in Russia last month that killed some 300 people. Russia has repeatedly said its mili­ tary actions are lim ited to attacking rebel positions. Air Force Chief Ana­ toly K om ukov said W ednesday that "peaceful civilians both in and outside Grozny are spared missile and bomb­ ing strikes." But Chechen Vice Prem ier Kazbek Makhashev called W ednesday's raids "state terrorism ... a slaughter of the people."

C hances are you have, given the all the pu b­ licity surrou nding the proposed constitutional am endm ent w hich would change the w ay the U niversity's end ow m ent is invested and spent. D ifferent question: Do you care about Proposition 17? Probably not. L et's tace it, trying to excite voters about stocks, bonds, interest rates and divi­ dends is nearly im possible. That's quite a tragedy, given the im portance of Proposition 17 to the future of the U niversity and its students. Passage of this am end m ent on Nov. 2 could mean at least $10 m illion in additional funding for the U niversity starting next year. The new funds w ould com e from changes in how the m oney generated from the U n iv ersi­ t y ' s endow m ent, the Perm anent U niversity Fund (PUF) is spent. C urrently the Texas Constitution prohibits spending any m oney generat­ ed b\ capital gains (profits from the sale of stocks and secu rities) and instead requires that this m oney to be returned to the principal of the fund. The Uni- \eisitv can only spend the interest and divid ends earned on investm ent, which can translate to a low rate of return in periods of low interest rates. T reposition 1 allow s the U T and A & M System s to spend up to 7 percent of the fund 's total m arket value (interest and dividends plus capital gains), returning the rest to the end ow m ent for future investm ent. C o n fu sed 7 H ere's the bottom line: the U niversity is asking for the flexibil­ ity to m ake ad ju stm ents to the fund during times of low' interest rates, thus better op tim izing the PU F investm ent. C ritics of the proposal call this shift in expenditure risky, saying that it w ill Toot' the PUF and threaten higher education for future generations. Such a claim ignores the fact the the current structure of the endow m ent (and the Texas Constitution as a w hole) is grossly outdated and overly con­ servative. M ore than 94 percent of U niversities across the country have m an­ aged their endow m ents successfully for g enerations under conditions far m ore liberal than the proposed changes under Proposition 17. In real term s, this proposal w ill safely b ring at least $10 m illion m ore to the U niversity each year m ostly to be spent on academ ic program s and facil­ ities There s been a healthy debate on this issue, both in the Texas L egisla­ ture and the state new s m edia, and it's clear that the benefits of this p ropos­ al far outw eigh any perceived risks. Tor this reason, The Texan Editorial Board has officially endorsed Proposi­ tion 17 and w e encou rage all students registered to vote to approve the m ea­ sure at the polls. Early voting will continue at the UGL until 7 p.m. tom orrow. A fter that, you can cast your vote at the appropriate polling location on Nov. 2, 1999. S h o c k e d W hich is w orse: 110 volts o f electricity surging through your body, or liv­ ing to tell about it just so the U niversity can turn around and slap you with a suspension? I wo UT students m ight ju st find out. As if a 200 beats-per-m inute heart rate w asn 't punishm ent enough, the U niversity is actually considering disciplinary action against the two stu- dents who suffered strong electric shocks w hile splashing around in the Lit­ tlefield Fountain after the football gam e against N ebraska. 1 )ean of Students Sharon Justice suggested in y esterd ay 's Texan that these two ill-advised sw im m ers m ay end up facing probation for their ill-advised actions, w hich landed them in the hospital on Saturday. A t a time when the U niversity should be w orried about getting sued to all hell, threatening to add insult to injury is about as sm art as, well, sw im m ing in a 67-year-old fountain with exposed wires. A lthough L I policy does officially forbid sw im m ing in cam pus fountains, the1 absence o f a visible "N o Sw im m in g" sign — or any other public posting — has m ade this rule virtually unknow n. ^ Yes, som e rules are just com m on sense: "D o n 't put a condom on the G eorge W ashington statu e's sw o rd " or "D o n 't play the bongos rak ed in the library." But, in all seriousness, people dance around in public fountains all the tim e — this is not an obvious target for enforcem ent. Certainly, none of the TO or so revelers taking a dip in the East Mall fountain received any w arn­ ing on Saturd ay. Legions of U TPD officers w ere too busy protecting their precious, precious golden goalposts to enforce this rule anyw ay. So, essentially, the U n iv ersity's ow n negligence — the exposed w ires responsible for the stud ents' injury — is singlehandedly responsible for the enforcem ent of an obscure and unknow n regulation. O K, so m aybe U niversity students aren't all that sm art, but idiocy is not a crim e. I he Dean of Students office ought to be content to know that the thought of dying in the Littlefield Fountain is far m ore hum iliating, and appropriate, than any other punishm ent they could — or should — dole out. H c*o k / ¡ ¿ t e s L ig h t R a il D rivers in the m ost congested little city in the south m ay finally get som e b reathing room. I he Capitol M etro Board of D irectors unanim ously approved the first- phase of a proposed light rail system M onday. P roponents of the plan still have plenty of hoops to jum p through — a vote from the City Council and the task of convincing the public of the m erits of the plan am ong th e m but it looks like rail may be on the way. A nyone who has ever seen 1-35 at 5 p.m. understands the city's need for an alternative form of tran sportation. The shoddy bus system and bum per- to-bum per traffic m ake com m uting a horror. M ost people can walk from cam pus to Riverside faster than they drive during rush hours. I hough C ap M etro's m anagem ent hasn't quite proven itself trustw orthy note constant bus d river strikes and the city 's poorly planned in the past shuttle routes — A ustinites should support the light-rail system . Cap M etro has projected that there will be more than 45,000 riders a day on the pub Ik transportation system by the time the rail plan is com pleted in F ew er drivers will substantially decrease the am ount of congestion on h the city 's cram m ed roads. A lready in use in Dallas, rail has been lauded for the econ om ic grow th and urban renew al it has brought to the city. And after years o f heated debate, even I louston s M etropolitan Transit A uthority is also planning a light-rail system . T hough expensive, the cost of the system could be defrayed w ith supple­ m ental funds from the federal governm ent and the increased econom ic d ev elop m en t along the line. Let s face it Austin has serious transportation problem s. A light-rail sys­ tem is by no m eans a panacea, but along with im proved roads and a better bus system it cou ld m ake getting around the city a lot easier. A s a bonus, rail riders w ould be free from crazy Austin drivers. C an 't beat that. Since 1876, a Perm anent University Fund (PUF) consisting of 2.1 million acres of once oil-rich W est Texas land has generated income to underwrite construction of new facilities at UT System and Texas A& M System com ponent institutions. Proposition 17 would repeal a constitutional requirem ent limiting the PU F's annual disburse­ m ents to these system s to the interest and divi­ dends generated by its investments. The m easure thus permits, for the first time, current spending of the PUF's principal. Another proposal to loot the PUF failed in 1986 when former Texas Gov. Mark W hite said one-time spending of the PUF's market value would set "a terrible precedent," and the Legislature agreed. Indeed, it is morally w rong and fiscally reckless to break a century-old com m itm ent to leave a larger PUF to future generations. The few provisions in Proposition 17 purporting to protect the principal are woefully inadequate. First, the 7 percent annual spending cap far exceeds the 4.2 percent average national university endow ­ ment payout rate. Also, the caveat that the purchas­ ing pow er of the PUF must be preserved is insuffi­ cient because it overlooks the need to grow, not m erely maintain, the PUF to keep up with the fore­ casted increases in demand for higher education in Texas. Furthermore, both the 7 percent cap and the purchasing power provision can be ignored should more income be requested to service bonds. Worse, Proposition 17 would eliminate sensible constitutional safeguards establishing the "prudent M a r c L e v i n T e x a n C o l u m n is t person" investing standard, prohibiting specula­ tion, and requiring PUF managers to consider "the permanent disposition of the fund." Analogies betw een the PUF and private endow ­ ment funds at other universities are flawed. Unlike private endow m ents which receive steady cash receipts from new contributions, the PU F's cash inflow is negligible because the oil and gas on the PUF s lands has dried up. A fixed endow m ent should rely on bonds and nigh dividend stocks for income, as bonds offer a guaranteed interest rate and such stocks historically increase their divi­ dends every year even if the share price declines. Proposition 17 would send us in the opposite direction, m aking future disbursem ents to tne Uni­ versity and A& M contingent on the eternal exis­ tence of a bull market allow ing speculative invest­ ments to be profitably sold. V oters should know that PUF incom e has dropped off due to m ismanagement, not because of "outmoded" constitutional provisions. The PUF has been m anaged since 1995 by the U T Investment M anagem ent Corporation (UTIM CO), a private corporation run with no public accountability by the UT System Board of Regents and its appointees. Since its inception, UTIM CO has channeled $800 million into "p rivate" (not publicly traded) invest­ ments, such as limited partnerships. According to there's n o D IFFER EN CE BETuoEEM THE. T W O M A J o R P A R T IES..- the Mar. 1996 Texas State A uditor's draft report, m any of these ventures involved gross conflicts of interest with Regents' relatives and friends. Som e of these risky schem es have gone bankrupt, costing the PUF tens of millions of dollars. Private investm ents generate no incom e because they do not earn interest or pay dividends. Conse­ quently, while the PUF has received $650 million in new oil royalties over the last 10 years, income has declined. Had this money been prudently invested in bonds and high dividend blue chip stocks, cur­ rent income would be much higher. In addition to finding conflicts of interest in many of U T lM C O 's investments, the State Auditor concluded that UTIM CO broke the Regents' rules by far exceeding the cap on how' m uch money can be placed in private investments. U TIM CO contin­ ues to operate under a veil of secrecy, withholding vital investment docum ents from the public. In light of this disturbing record, it would be folly to remove the only real restraints on UTIM CO. Although asset m isallocation has denied the UT and A&M system s much needed incom e from the PUF, voters should not, at the expense o f future generations, approve a stopgap solution that will promote speculation and subject UT and A&M sys­ tems' future incom e to market volatility. W e must reject Proposition 17 and honor our century-old com m itm ent to grow the PUF so our children and our children's children have the sam e educational opportunities our predecessors have given us.

Som e people do think (and rightly so) that it is inane to talk only about abstinence to teen-agers. W hile abstinence is the- only 100 percent safe form o f se xual protection, that fact by itself is m eaningless. It is very rare that an absolute is the best way to settle an issue; the safest speed limit on the road is 0 m ph, the best way to avoid an airplane crash is to never fly, the best way to avoid food poisoning is to never eat. A lm ost everything we do in life involves risks, everybody m akes their ow n d ecisions on what risks to take. ! his is the way lite works.

I hope M ike C arr w as not serious in his editori­ al because for an education m ajor to teach such narrow -m inded and obtuse ideas to anyone is absurd. First of all I w'ould like to say that w'e w om en absolutely LO VE being the w eaker sex, particularly because o f the conn otation it brings. I'll explain it to you, Mike, in guy talk so you can understand. Im agine twro football team s with one team m ade up of physically "stro n g er" players and the other team m ade up of "w eak er" players. N ow which team do you think is "b etter?" Now im agine how you would treat the other team. If you believe that w'omen have issues being dubbed the w'eaker sex it is because it also tells us that w e are an inferior sex. It w as not until recent­ ly that we w ere even allow ed to go to school because we apparently had inferior brains. H ow would you feel, M ike, to be dubbed inferior on the basis of your gender? You com e to m e w hen you have been sexually harassed, abused by your sig­ nificant other or raped. Then I will tell you that you are having an identity crisis because you want to be stronger. Telling us we are having an identi­ ty crisis is not respectful, and it is stupid. M aybe we are tired o f being pushed around and having people tell us how w e are supposed to act, dress and live our lives. If I have to beat you up to prove that I am equal to you than so be it, but any nor­ mal person know s that lacks logic. But m aybe that's w hat you want, to m ake no sense.

The Royals are the first couple to receive the Harvey Penick Award for Excellence in the Game of Life, which recognizes those who demonstrate community achievement, said Amber Carden, president of the Caritas board of directors. She added that in most cases, one person in the couple gives to the community, and the other supports that person. But both Edith and Darrell Royal are active in the community, Carden said. "In this particular instance you have two leaders and two supporters," she said. Edith Royal Is a founding board member of Children's Advocacy Center, and a found­ ing board m em ber of the Palm er Drug Abuse Program, later known as the Austin Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program. Darrell Royal is one of the sponsors of the Ben Willie Darrell Golf Tournament, which raises funds for charities for children in East Austin. Darrell Royal, UT football coach from 1960-1976 who took the Longhorns to three national championships, said he was pleased to be included in what he called a prominent group of honorees. "If you look at the previous recipients, it makes you feel mighty good," he said. The late Harvey Penick, a former UT golf coach and golfing instructor, received the first award in 1992. Other recipients include former first lady Lady Bird Johnson and Bar­ bara Jordan, the first black woman from the South to be elected to the U.S. House of Rep­ resentatives. Eileen Earheart Oldag, executive director of Caritas, said like Harvey Penick, the Roy­ als are outstanding in their endeavors. "There are no two people who more emu­ late excellence in the way they live their lives or who are better known by the greater com­ munity for their character," Oldag said. Edith and Darrell Royal have affected the lives of many people, said Bill Little, assistant athletic director for men. "They have been teachers and they have been friends and they have comforted many, many people who were in trouble and their presence has been a real light to the people in their lives," Little said. Edith and Darrell Royal will receive a bronze statue of Harvey Penick giving golf instruction to a young man. UT to sponsor Halloween carnival Amanda M. Zamora Daily Texan Staff Steve Bittick has taken his 8-year-old daughter Shawn to Longhorn Halloween for three years and is going back a fourth time this Sunday. Longhorn Halloween, sponsored by the Office of the President, is a volunteer effort by students, faculty, staff and Austin com­ munity members to provide a Halloween carnival for the families of the UT communi­ ty- Bittick, coordinator of special projects at UT Printing Services and Design Center, said he appreciates the opportunity to bring his daughter to a Halloween carnival, since her school doesn't sponsor one. "To me it's kind of a big plus, because I alw ays liked Halloween carnivals and thought it was the coolest thing growing up," Bittick said. The carnival, which will take place in the Erwin Center, attracted approximately 5,000 people in 1994, the first time it was held, said Erica Douma, UT coordinator for the event. Turnout varies, though, since the day it takes place — the Sunday before Halloween — is not always close to the actual date of Hal­ loween. "I think it may be a really great crowd this year because it is actually on Halloween," said Douma, administrative associate for uni­ versity relations. "Families will likely come because it is inside, air-conditioned, and there are no mosquitoes like there would be trick- or-treating outside." All of the candy used at the carnival is donated by the general public and is X-rayed at the University Health Center before it is taken to the Erwin Center. No other candy can be used by volunteers, Douma said. She added that an ambulance, a police cruiser and a fire truck will be on site for chil­ dren to see. Bittick said while he is considering taking Shawn trick-or-treating afterward, the carni­ val is a safe way to celebrate the holiday. "I think that safety is a big concern with most people," Bittick said. "I think a lot of people quit letting their kids go tnck-or-treat- ing for that reason — this carnival is especial­ ly good for that reason." The president7s office provides the publici­ ty, Erwin Center set-up charges and the 800 T-shirts for volunteers. "It's an opportunity to help us build a stronger sense of community among families connected to the University, and was origi­ nally conceived as a safer environment for kids to do Halloween-type things," said UT President Larry Faulkner. The event will feature 26 booths, a haunted house, jugglers and a band. Nearly 20 stu­ dent groups are working booths, including the Natural Sciences Council, the Texas Las­ sos and Orange Jackets. As of Wednesday, there were 543 people signed up with the office to help set up and break down the carnival, and 180 people vol­ unteering to work booths, Douma said. "It is a great opportunity to give back to the University because it is an event for facul­ ty and staff to bring their kids to school to participate in a safe, fun time," said Jennifer Reinhardt, vice president of community ser­ vice for the UT chapter of the National Soci­ ety of Collegiate Scholars and an accounting junior. Admission to the event is free for the fami­ lies of UT students, faculty and staff, and food will be available through the Erwin Center vendors. The carnival will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

STATE & LO C A L — 7 THURSDAY, 0CT0B8128,1999 STATE BRIEFS Lotto sales decline Sales of Lotto Texas tickets are lower this fall due to the declining cash value of jackpot prizes, accord­ ing to the Texas Lottery Commis­ sion. From the beginning of the fiscal year on Sept. 1 to Oct. 24, ticket sales have declined nearly 40 percent from the same period last year. Texas lotto players spent $12 mil­ lion per week on tickets this fall, compared to $20 million per week last year. Keith Elkins, com m u nication director for the Texas Lottery Com­ m ission, said the jack p o t h asn 't grown much, due to a high number of winners this fall. Elkins said the fall's biggest jack­ pot was $38 million, compared to last year's $60 million high. "The higher the jackpot, the more people are going to play," Elkins said. He said Texas is losing players to out-of-state lottery games such as Pow erball, w hich norm ally has higher jackpots because 21 states participate. Elkins said the commission pro­ posed changing the lotto's odds ear­ lier this year from 1 in 15 million to 1 in 25 m illion to keep the jackpot high, but the plan was withdrawn when lotto players reacted negative­ ly to the proposal. Beginning in November, Elkins said the commission plans to hold town hall meetings throughout the state to improve relations with lotto players. The first meeting is Nov. 4 in Irv­ ing. No date has been set for the Austin meeting. Reports of dengue fever increase The number of Texans infected with dengue fever has reached its highest level since 1995, according to the Texas Department of Health. Twenty-five cases of the disease have been confirmed since the first case was reported in July, the majori­ ty of which are from counties bor­ dering M exico, accord ing to the health department. In 1995, 29 cases were reported for the entire year Dengue fever is spread by a spe­ cial breed of mosquitoes, and symp­ toms include high fever, headaches, nausea and skin rashes. Doug McBride, public inform a­ tion officer for the health depart­ ment, said all but five of the reported cases were contracted during travel south of the Texas-Mexico border. "It's pretty prevalent in South America and Mexico," McBride said. W ebb County, w hich includes Laredo, reported the most cases with 18, followed by two cases each in Willacy and Hidalgo counties, and one case each in Galveston, Nueces and Tarrant counties. M cBride said since m osquitoes breed in still water, Texas residents are advised to empty outdoor plant containers and pet bowls regularly.

Brendan M aloney DAILY TEXAN STAFF Sen. Smith proposes foreign migrant worker bill reform Associated Press W ASHINGTON — Hundreds of thousands of foreign migrant workers who are here illegally potentially could qualify for legal status — and ultimate­ ly legal permanent residence — under Senate legislation introduced Wednes­ day that would reform the much-criti­ cized agricultural guestworker pro­ gram. The bill's sponsors, Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon and Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, said their measure would improve the hard-scrabble lives of an estimated 600,000 undocumented farm workers while easing paperwork bur­ dens for employers. The current conditions, under which countless undocumented immigrants work at agricultural jobs for meager pay and terrible living conditions, are "indefensible," said Smith, a Republi­ can who team ed with G raham , a Democrat, to craft legislation much sought by agricultural interests. "We feel we owe it to farmers and farm w orkers alike to reform this sham eful situ atio n ," Sm ith said Wednesday. But the chairman of the House Judi­ ciary im m igration su bcom m ittee termed the Smith-Graham proposal "u n co n scio n ab le" because of its demand that the workers spend five more years in the fields to qualify for legal permanent residence. "I will not be party to any plan that shackles illegal aliens in servitude with the hope of earning legal resident sta­ tus," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio. In a conference call with reporters, the senators defended their proposal as a fair one. They said the only uncon­ scionable thing would be to retain an existing system that is rife with abuse and that has employers and laborers alike skirting the law. "The only indentured servitude is the status quo," said Smith, adding that his measure allows undocument­ ed workers already laboring in U.S. fields to "be here with the dignity of law, with enhanced benefits and with the ability to speak for themselves in a way that takes them out o f the bondage they are now in." The Farm w orker Justice Fund, a Washington, D.C., migrant worker- advocacy group, said the legislation tilts too far in favor of farm interests. "This is completely pro-grower and it is anti-worker," said fund official Bruce Goldstein. "It would relegate farm workers to a third-class status for the next generation. This would either perpetuate the status quo or make things worse." Undocumented workers who can prove they worked at least 150 days as agricultural laborers within the past year could immediately gain legal sta­ tus as tem porary non-im m igrants, Graham noted. Those who spend at least 180 days annually in five of the next seven years as farm w orkers would be eligible to apply for legal permanent residence. Beyond allowing hundreds of thou­ sands of migrant laborers to legalize their status, the legislation would extend to the workers U.S. labor law protections they currently lack, the Senate sponsors said. The bill also would ensure better wages, housing and transportation for domestic and foreign workers alike, they added. "The farmers under our program are going to be paying a lot more money," Gordon Smith said. "But they are prepared to do that if they can come out of the shadows and operate in the light of day." The legislation would streamline the existing guestworker program, which comes under Labor Department super­ vision, by creating a com puterized national registry that would match workers with jobs. Foreign agricultural laborers would be hired only after the Labor Depart­ ment determines there is a shortage of domestic workers. The Senate last year adopted a pro­ gram that w ould assure a steady stream of legal foreign agricultural labor but the measure, pushed hard by agricultural interests, failed to get through Congress amid opposition by the Clinton administration. Rather to testify at dragging trial Associated Press JASPER — Dan Rather has been subpoenaed to testify at the murder trial of the third white man charged m the dragging death of a black man. Prosecutors want to ask the CBS anchorman about an interview he did last month with the defendant, Shawn Allen Berry. The interview aired on 60 Minutes II on Sept. 28. In it, Berry said that he tried to stop the attack but that he backed off when one of his alleged acco m p lices, John W illiam King, threatened him. State District Judge Bob Golden poena on T u e s­ day, ru lin g that Rather is a "mater­ ial and necessary B approved the sub­ judge ordered the new sm an 's p re s­ ence for about two w eeks, sta rtin g Nov. 9. Rather CBS attorney Susanna Lowy, con­ tacted by The Lufkin Daily News, had no comment. Golden also ordered CBS producer Mary’ Mapes to appear Friday with outtakes and unedited portions of the interview. "M s. M apes cannot produce any tapes of the interview because she has never possessed or controlled the tapes," her lawyer, Thomas Leather- bury, said, trying to have the subpoe­ na throw n out. The judge is set to rule on that request on Friday. Berry, 24, is accused of chaining Jam es Byrd Jr., 49, to the back of a pickup truck last year and dragging him to his death. -W hite su p re m a c ists K ing and Lawrence Russell Brewer were con­ victed earlier this year in separate tri­ als and each received a death sen­ tence.

He wants quarterbacks Rogers to break out in cold sweats when his nam e is m entioned. He w ants running backs to be so intim idated by him that they beg their quarterback not to hand the ball off to them. And m ost of all, he w ants offensive linemen w ho are trying to block him to be frightened to the point that their knees quiver. Rogers w ants to be every offensive player's w orst nightmare, their most hor­ rid anxiety. "I hope they are scared of me," said Rogers in a nonchalant manner. "It's an overw helm ing sense of control w hen you can hit som eone and make them fear it happening again. You know if they feel it." Plenty have been left shaken and flut­ tered by Rogers. Last Saturday, the 6-foot 4-inch defen­ sive tackle, w ith cat-like quickness, pounced on the H uskers for nine tackles, five of which came in N ebraska's back- field. On one of those plays, a rarity occurred when Rogers was spun around by an offensive linem an as he was in pursuit of N ebraska rusher Correll Buckhalter. It should have been a dream come true for Buckhalter to see Rogers' back to him, but the ball carrier ended up flattened any­ way. "H e |ust backed into that guy with his butt and knocked him dow n," Texas quar­ terback Major A pplew hite said with a hint of awe. "That guy should press charges against Shaun." Or at least the 315-pound interior line­ m an should come with some form of a warning. So for all you offensive players out there, listen up. Rogers is giving it to you.

Yanks rock Atlanta again to reassert baseball dominance Associated Press NEW YORK — Roger Clemens had waited too long not to savor every mom ent of this glorious night. With the final out of the World Series, he bolted for the m ound and, flanked by two of his sons, grabbed m anager Joe Torre in a bear hu g and found it hard to let go. Then, while his New York Yankees team m ates were still dousing each other w ith cham pagne, C lem ens sprinted back out to the field, climbed on the dugout roof and ran up and down, slapping every outstretched hand in the front row. The Rocket had landed. The ring was his. Clem ens pitched the Yankees to their second straight World Series sweep, shutting dow n the Atlanta Braves 4-1 W ednesday night and en d­ ing his quest for the one and onlv prize that eluded him. "This m ust be w hat it's like to be a Yankee," Clemens said. "This is w hat everybody said it was all about." With raucous fans waving yellow, plastic broom s all over the ballpark and Clemens bouncing around on the m ound, the Yankees won their record 25th cham pionship and third in four seasons. Game 4 m arked New York's 12th Series victory in a row, m atching the m ark set by its M urd erers' Row teams. All his life, Clemens had hoped for this chance and, at last, he com m and­ ed the October stage. Showing the form that earned him five Cy Young Awards and 247 w ins in 16 seasons, he shut out Atlanta into the eighth to outduel John Smoltz. Brought to the Bronx this spring from Toronto in a trade for David Wells that m any Yankees fans dis­ liked, Clemens walked off the m ound to rousing cheers, tipping his cap and holding both hands high to acknow l­ edge the ovation. "It seem ed like a perfect setup," Torre said. "I couldn't see it not hap­ pening tonight, not with the way his career had gone." Clem ens recalled seeing his team ­ m ates get their 1998 World Series rings in April, and being a bit envi­ ous. "I was sitting there w atching them receive them. They said, 'W e're going to get you one,'" he said They sure did. M ariano Rivera, w ho had two saves and a win in the Series, w as selected MVP.

"He'll hesitate the next time." He grew up Sh aun Rogers never had to live in fear. in LaPorte, Texas, a suburb of H ouston. His father, Ernie, w as an offensive linem an at Rice ar\d pla y e d for the USFL's H o u sto n Gamblers while the league existed. But this isn't a story about a father and son sharing a com m on bond. Rogers' d a d and mom separated w hen he w as young, and his ste p ­ father, Donald Hart, was the main male role model in his life. "It w a sn 't bad at all," Rogers said. "H e really helped me become a m an an d ta u g h t me to take responsibility for my ow n actions." But H art c ou ld n't be around all the time. He w orked at a chemical p lant on 12-hour shifts. Sometimes his job kicked into overtime and he w o uld just sleep at the plant since he w o u ld have turn around and go right back to w ork as soon as he got home. But Rogers was never deprived. "I d id n 't have it bad," he said. "I mean there are guys I know that had it a lot worse off than I did. I at least had some influential people in my life." Rogers' face begins to light up as he thinks of those people. His m other, G w n Hart, w as alw ays there. She was the w om an in Rogers' life that made it her job to keep him on the right path. O n one occasion, his 10th-grade teacher called her at hom e to tell her that her son had been joking aro un d in class. "She d id n 't give me a lecture a bout it," Rogers said. "She just show ed up in m y classes for the next two days. She sat there like she w as a stud ent and she m ade sure that I w a sn 't going to act up." , A nother time, a different teacher called his m other to tell her that he had been acting up in a n o th e r class. Rogers w as at football prac­ tice at the time, but w hen he saw his m other drive up, he knew he w as in for it. "She got o ut of the car and opened the passenger door for me to get in," Rogers said. "Then she w alked on to the field du ring prac­ tice and dragged me out of there. I w as a little embarrassed." But Rogers know s that his m oth­ er d id n 't do it to humiliate him. She was making a point. "She was always there to p u t me in check," he said. "I am supposed to be this big, tough guy, but she w as a lady that could tell me w h at to do and I w ould listen. I have so m uch respect for her." But m om w asn't the only w om an in Rogers' life. The Texas d efen siv e linem an spent m uch of his su m m ers with his grandm other. For Rogers, she may have been the most influential part of his life. She w as the one that taught him the lessons of life, religiously. "That's w hy I got this," Rogers said as he rubbed a tattoo that read Phil 4:13 for Phillippians 4:13. "It w as a verse that she pointed out to me. She also pointed out to Rogers the im po rtan ce of e arn in g his degree, and she told him that she w anted to be at his graduation. But she passed aw ay just as the LaPorte senior w as making g r a d u ­ ation plans. It was real hard on me because she was such a special person," Rogers said. "I had w orn the n u m ­ ber 73 in high school because that was my d a d 's n um b e r w hen he played, but now it also kind of co m m e m o ra te s her because she died w hen she w as 73. I also write her initials on m y tape before every game." Shaun Rogers is trying to con­ tain himself.

Texas A&M w as not able to take o ut both Aldrich an d Tilson, as the lethal tw osom e com bined for 38 kills (includ in g A ld ric h 's team- leading 14th double-double), but the Aggies did m anage to rack up 19 blocks, force the Horns into a num ber of uncharacteristic hitting errors and hold the rest of the Texas offense to single digit kills. And in the end that was the dif­ ference. "We had a couple bad days of practice, and this is w h a t h appens w hen you d o n 't practice well," said Texas head volleyball coach Jim Moore. "I thou gh t we show ed some perseverance at the end of the match, and show ed that we can beat anybody, bu t you just can't fall that far behind. We just had no response to a very good Texas A&M team tonight." With the loss, Texas falls to 15-4 overall and second place in the Big 12 with a 9-2 mark. The Aggies, meanwhile, hold on to third place in the conference and im prove to 17-4 and 8-3 in the Big 12. WHAT WILL YOU REMEMBER ABOUT OCT. 23, 1999 by 2029? Plenty if you have the 2000 Cactus.

TORONTO — Before arriving in Toronto a week ago, Dmitri Khristich had never heard of Nik A ntropov and he w asn't all that sure w ho Mike John­ son was. The three have become the M aple Leafs' hottest line. Khristich scored tw o goals, Johnson got the gam e-w inner and the unit com ­ bined for five points as Toronto beat the A tlanta T hrashers 4-0 W ednesday night Khnstich has three goals in three gam es since am ving in a free agency prom pted trade from the Boston Bruins on Oct. 21. The 30-year-old Ukrainian has looked sharp playing w ith John­ son, a forw ard, and fourth-year Antropov, a 19-year-old rookie. "I never even heard of A ntropov before I got here so I d id n 't know w h at to expect," K hristich said. "H e has a great future. A nd Johnson plays the type of (fast-skating) gam e that Glenn Healv had 16 saves for his 12th career shutout as Toronto w on its third straight and rem ained first overall in the NHL w ith an 8-3-1 record.

"Usually iLs good to get a lot of shots like that early so you get into the gam e right away," Atlanta goalie Damian Rhodes said. "Then w e got going a bit in the second period. "It could have been a different gam e had w e scored first. W hen Toronto got one goal, it w as enough for them." The Maple Leafs opened the sconng at 2:25 of the second period w hen Antropov sw atted the puck aw ay from defense m an Darryl Shannon and onto Johnson's stick. Johnson lifted a high backhander over Rhodes' shoulder for his fifth goal of the season. "Once the first goal w ent in, it gave the guys" confidence, said Toronto coach Pat Q uinn. "They were getting frustrated on the bench. "That entire line is doing well. Nik is gaining confidence each gam e he plays. Khnstich is a sm art player and Mike's gam e has picked up." Johnson also did all the w ork on Toronto's second goal, outskatm g two Atlanta forwards, going around anoth­ er and getting a shot on Rhodes. Khns­ tich flipped in the rebound at 17:39. Alexander Karpovtsev m ade it 3-0 at 5:40 of the third, w ith the M aple Leafs in the m idst of a tw o-m inute 5-on-3 m an advantage.

Associated Press DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings are off to a hot start, and Bren­ dan Shanahan is right in the m iddle of things as usual. Shanahan scored tw o goals as the Red W ings beat the C olorado Avalanche 5-3 W ednesday night in the season's first renewal of one of the NHL's fiercest rivalries. Shanahan's goals left him one short of 400 in his career. "It just m eans I've been around," Shanahan said. "Being on a team with (Steve) Yzerman and (Larry) Murphy, w ith all the m ilestones they've hit, it m akes m ine pretty humble." Vyacheslav Kozlov, Tomas Holm- strom and Darren McCarty also scored for the Red Wings (7-1-1), w ho have w on five straight and are unbeaten in seven gam es since their lone loss Oct. 5 against Dallas. "We talked during the start of training camp about the importance of getting off to a good start, and w e have," Shanahan said "We had a lot of early-season tests last year and didn't do very well." A dam D eadm arsh scored tw o goals and Shjon Podein another as Colorado (5-4-2) fell to 2-2 on a four- gam e road trip that ends Thursday at Philadelphia. The Avalanche's early schedu le has been road-heavy because of the m ove into their new hom e at the Pepsi Center. "The beauty of the schedule is everybody plays 41 home, 41 away," said C olorado goalie Patrick Roy, w ho m ade 22 saves. "It'll all even out. I think playing som e tough gam es on the road early will help us." Deadmarsh's second goal came in the final minute during a six-man attack, cutting Detroit's lead to 4-3. But McCarty's em pty-net goal with 18.4 seconds left ended Colorado's comeback hopes. The gam e was the first meeting between the teams since Colorado ousted Detroit in six games in last sea­ son's Western Conference semifinals. t- “ •. t-% — * *» . . / t t < } ■ - On Friday, October 29, pixelon.com introduces the world s First Full -screen, Full-motion, tv-quality internet broadcast network.

SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT By: The Get Up Kids Label: Vacant Records/Heroes & Villains G rad e: 3.5 (on a 4 0 scale) "W hat became of everyone I used to know ?" His voice is so em phatically full of white-boy angst and emotional trauma, always treading between tears and rage; we all know the answ er. "Holiday" opens the new album from The Get Up Kids, Something to Write Home About, with all of the old relation­ ship angst that we've come to expect. The Kids have grown up a little since the release of their first album , Four Minute Mile, attacking this new project w ith a m u ch m ore p o p -in flu e n ced method. They've also added keyboard player James Dewees to round out the drum, bass and dual guitars set up. The Get Up Kids have a knack for bringing otherwise depressing subjects into a fun album, each song treading tentatively through familiar relation­ ship territory, but in a way and with a certain emotional poignancy indicative of all their songs that hoists them above the rest of the em o or punk crowd. Singer M att Pryor deftly shifts from victim to perpetrator, always manag­ ing to keep the listener in his comer. Every true emo kid sporting his tight pants and under-sized, thrift store T- s h irt sh o u ld be b o u n c in g to the punked-out 'T e n M inutes" and "Red Letter D ay" interspersed with a few excruciatingly lush, bleeding-heart bal­ lads like "Out of Reach" and "I'll Catch You." The Get Up Kids come straight outta Kansas City kickin' out the staccato drum beats and crunchy guitars with a light, yet necessary sprinkling of key­ board flourishes. Their last album is already a classic for those in the know, having created a substantial and loyal fanbase in the indie scene. Although the songs each have a very introspec­ tive feel, the live expenence is a matter of crow d conv alescence w h ere fans - y ' r t< V t f . 11 t / ’ com e together in their very personal love for the Kids in a communal, pul­ sating, sweaty pack. The Get Up Kids are the Backstreet Boys for the too-cool-for-school crowd. But instead of screaming teen-age girls crying and w nthing in a horm onally induced frenzy, you'll find a pack of post-punk poseurs trying to hold back their tears. The watery-eyed set won't be disap­ p o in ted w ith the K id s' so p h o m ore effort, which fully reassures fans that there is a w ealth of talen t yet to be sucked dry from these M id-w estern em o-rockers. Four M inute M ile was a beau tiful albu m , but the Kids have matured gracefully since then Like a teen-age boy finding hair growing in funny places for the first time, Some­ thing to Write Home About displays their newfound pop skills proudly without forsaking their original charm — John Bringardner Editor's Note: The Get Up Kids are play­ ing Em o's tonight. It should be on e o f Austin’s best emocore and punk shows this year.

With most movies, we hardly even notice the old ultra-violence any­ more, disregarding the gratuitous gore as John Woo practices his ballis­ tic ballet or Quentin Tarantino ends his films with a high-tension Mexican standoff. Even in this bloody compa­ ny, Bunch still manages to blow the brid ge out from under the feet of modem audiences. Nowadays, Bonnie and Clyde's blood­ bath demise seems a tired cliche, and some PG-13-rated films shame the lan­ guage and themes that Who’s Afraid o f Virginia W oolf reserved for "adults only audiences. Peckinpah recog­ nized the daring innovations emerging in late-'60s cinema and set them to w hirlwind editing pattern, using a record-breaking 3,642 cuts in his film. His approach strikes audiences with the venomous bite of a copperhead and follows them home like the persis­ tent discomfort of a border sunburn. In Peckinpah's hands, shoot-before- you-look violence, liquor-stained lan­ guage and brazen public sexuality actually blend. Distracting if used alone, these elem ents m erge in The Wild Bunch, establishing the already dese­ crated com m on ground on which these anti-heroes stand, the backdrop of corrupt lawlessness against which they will sacrifice their lives. Gone forever is John Ford's qualified optimism, the familiar Monument Val­ ley vistas giving way to signs of decay­ ing poverty and social unrest. As with Ford, Peckinpah's West is a territory governed by "rule of the gun," yet any concept of innocence has vanished. Men quickly yield to the overwhelm­ ing lure of temptation, and children seethe with original sin. Alongside images of children laugh­ ing as they torture a scorpion, the film opens as the Wild Bunch rides into a Drafthouse (6:30 and 9:30 p.m.), Peck­ inpah's cut of The Wild Bunch features flashbacks that were cut from the film's original American run (various ver­ sions of the film circulated theaters, all of them missing im portant footage restored to the director's cut). These scenes give insight into the film's cen­ tral relationship : old friends and estranged p artn ers P ike (W illiam Holden) and Thornton (Robert Ryan) find themselves on opposite sides of the law. Pursued by the friend who betrayed him, Pike and his men make plans for the culminating heist of their careers. Never far behind, Thornton tracks the Bunch with his deputized guns-for- hire, a squad of incom petent scav­ engers acting with carte blanche. Holden and Ryan make a pair of cin­ ema's best adversaries, like Harrison Ford and Tom m y Lee Jones in The Fugitive, two equals on opposite sides of the law. Their relationship is a com­ plex one in which each pursues his own aims, the fulfillm ent of which depends on the betrayal of the other. 1 he charged dynamic between them fuels the first bloody standoff and explains Thornton's remorse after Pike and his men take on an entire Mexican towTi in the film's unforgettable finale. The two men never exchange a word of dialogue in the present, yet the niiances of their tension show' in the decisions they make, giving the film its transcendent timelessness. The Wild Bunch screens as part o f a nine-week Peckinpah retrospective hosted by The Show' With No Name and the Austin Film Society. To commemorate the event; The Show '$ Charlie Sotelo compiled a monograph o f new commentary on Peck­ inpah by m iters who include Daind Wed­ dle, Max Evans and Pauline Kael. The series includes screenings o f such hard-to-find 35mm prints as The Ballad of Cable Hogue (Nov. 4) and Cross of Iron (Dec. 16). Screenings are open to audiences 18 and over.

Turned ruthless by years of fighting for survival, the Bunch have a way of reducing any city they visit to a ghost town by fire time they leave. W hile the bunch robs a railroad office in the center of town, an equally ruthless band of vigilantes take aim from nearby rooftops, hoping to collect rewards for killing the notorious out­ law s. The g u nfig ht loom s w ith approaching inevitability, our pulses quickening with anticipation. But Peckinpah quickly turns the tables on our expectations, sending a parade of temperance marchers direct­ ly through the target zone. When the ambush begins, the sharpshooters hit few of their intended targets, while many of the civilians are caught in the crossfire or tram pel led by fleeing ban­ dits. The carnage seems to last an eter­ nity, the body count escalating with alarming speed as Peckinpah's camera registers the confusion and horror from within the situation. Few films have the power to drain you so effectively from the outset. Rather than desensitizing us to the shock of death, Peckinpah makes us hypersensitive to the film's revolution­ ary depiction of the West. By inundat­ ing his audience with violence and cor­ ruption from the beginning, Peckinpah establishes a new view of the West audiences had never seen be1 fore in a Hollywood film.

A u s t in ■ Starting tonight, and running Friday and Saturday night (at mid­ night), the Alamo Drafthouse will host the first annual Ludo Fuld Hor­ ror Festival. There will be spooky su rp rises, rare 35mm horror trail­ ers and m any m ore gho u lish shocks. The film s to screen include: Zombie, The G ates o f H ell, The B eyond and Cat in the Brain. Fulci is a horror master, and many know him as the creato r of som e of the most d is­ gusting parts of Quentin Tarantino's Austin Film Fests. sched uled ■ For some truly scary rock, the beautiful ladies of Drain sth are play­ ing the B ackroom Frid ay night. Heavy alt-rockers doubleDRTVE are opening. ■ The 6th annual S&M Ball will get under way at The Voodoo Room. This year, for the first time, it will be running two nights, Friday and Sat­ urday. It's an Austin Halloween tra­ dition and not for the faint of heart. ■ Acclaimed electronic artist DJ Shadow w ill brin g his great live show to the Austin Music Hall Satur­ day as part of the Imajica rave, fea­ turing other rap and dance acts. It'll be one of the most ideal Halloween exp erien ces in tow n.

Yet all that bloody slaughter manufactured mayhem and monster-in-the-doset gags tend to give way to subtler, scarier films with shoestring budget horror projects. When you combine the ingenuity of filmmakers just starting out with the blessing in disguise of limited resources, you tend to get some of the most revolutionary movies ever made. \ t • . I in 1968, using a gaggle of lurching extras and alm ost no money, George Romero crossed cabin fever with flesh-eating zombies for the ultimate midnight trngler in Night o f the Living Dead. Still resonating in recent memory, Dan Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez sent three college kids into the woods, lost a map and unleashed a never-seen witch to make horror history with The Blair Witch Project. Budget, schmudget. In the three decades between the Evans City Cemetery and Burkittsville, just as regularly as audiences grew tired of the generic horror conventions, breakthrough no-money horror flicks would come along and rewrite the rules. The best of these titles are available for your viewing pleasure at the UGL. | Halloween O n H a llo w ee n w eek en d in 1978, John Carpenter let loose the ultim ate teen-age slasher film, a tingler that wrote all the movie clichés we would see regurgitated for the next two decades. Halloween did for horror what Star Wars had done for sci-fi a year earlier. It ignored conven- tio n , m ad e its ow n ru le s and e sta b lis h e d an u n o f f i c i a l g u id e lin e for everything that followed. After th e d eran g ed M ich a el M yers slipped back into the night at the end of H al­ low een, m ovie babysitters would never be safe again. For the next two decades, ; nife-wielding slashers would continue meting out punishment on promiscuous teenagers (six of those times it would still be Myers on the prowl in Halloween sequels). Not until Scream so perfectly dis­ sected the unwritten horror-movie code could we really grasp the reach of Halloween's influence. Even one score and seventy- aught imitations later, Halloween still grips you from the first shrill peaks of Carpenter's synthesized soundtrack, less pronounced than Bernard Herrmann's Psycho score but just as unsettling. N ot since Touch o f Evil had a movie opened with such an auspi­ cious one-take maneuver. Peering from behind a killer's mask, the cam era (and therefore the audi­ ence) finds a kitchen knife, creeps aro u n d the h o u se and up the stairs and commits bloody mur­ der. And the surprise is still to come when the m ovie's first cut (not to be confused with the fit of frenzied stabbing we've just seen) gives away the killer's identity. W ith a cast so o rd in ary they could be people you know (rather than pretty faces yanked from the WB netw ork) and an everyday setting that jars our false sense of su b u rb a n se c u rity , H allow een im plies a level of "it could hap­ pen to you" danger. Carpenter's limited funds forced him to focus on these elem ents; his lim itless imagination transforms them into an experience that is positively chilling. T h e T exas C h ain saw M assacre It w asn 't as revolutionary as many scary movies would later be, but The Texas Chainsaw Massacre still registers as an unforgettable film. Tobe Hooper directed this incredi­ ble classic of independent and hor­ ror cinema with the kind of no-frills magic that makes it so convincingly real. When we first meet our group of five protagonists (young adults, no less), there is already an air of terror. On their way to visit the desecrated grave of her grandfather, Sally (Mari­ lyn Bums) and the crew pick up a hitchhiker. Soon, group the arrives at an eerie, d ecaying house w here we m eet a fam ily so inbred, it makes the Deliverance clan appear almost nor­ mal. Gunnar Hansen gives a breakthrough performance as one of the greatest horror villains of all time, Leatherface. W earing a m ask m ade of human flesh and wielding a relen tlessly large chainsaw , Leatherface dons the paternal role of the sad istic fam ily our clueless heroes stumble upon. The imagery in the house alone — caked in blood, littered with flesh and arumal remains — will scorch an im age more frightening than most of today7s horror schlock. Hooper's story comes across so believably nightmarish that Mas­ sacre raised m ore qu estions of authenticity than any film until The Blair Witch Project. To this day, many W eb sites insist that the tale of Leatherface and his horrifying fami­ ly is based on fact. Texas is home to its share of tall tales and ghost stories. The magic that makes Chainsaw Massacre work is the fact that it seems like it could have easily happened in some back­ woods home off of the King Ranch. It's the pure, claustrophobic terror that keeps viewers captive in the demented world that Tobe Hooper has created for us. Scary if you live in Texas, but truly g ut-w ren ch ing no m atter w here you call home, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a landmark in low-budget horror. It relies on lit­ tle and yields much more than you would expect. - Peter "Pumpkin Beater" Debruge — Matt “of the Red Death " Deniter r THE SHOW STARTS HERE FRANK ERWIN CENTER TEXAS UN IO N BALLROO M MP3.com Music & Technology Tour featuring the Goo Goo Dolls with special guest Tonic Fnday, November 12 A Soulful Celebration featuring Kirk Franklin & 1 Nation Crew plus Hezekiah Walker, Kelly Price, Karen Clark- Sheard, Crystal Lewis, Anointed, Marvin Sapp, Darwin Hobbs & Musical Director, Sheila E W ednesday, December 8 On Sale Monday, Novem ber 1 at Noon Michael Martin Murphey's Cowboy Christmas Concert with Sons of the San Joaquin Friday, December 10 On Sale In November 11 Top with Lynyrd Skynyrd Thursday, December 30 On Sale Saturday, October 30 at 9 a.m. Passion Texas Friday, Ja n u a ry 21 On Sale Friday, October 29 at Noon Texas Womens' and Mens' Basketball ALL HOME GAMES On Sale Monday, Novem ber 1 at 10 a.m. sg ) Southwestern B e i l tor mm | iBa* » M m w»g»ncyy Sign I BATES RECITAL H A L L P h a n to m o f the O pera Fnday.

G overnm ent officials have said one p o ssib le exp lan atio n for the crash is that the jet lost cabin pres­ su re so o n a fte r ta k in g o ff from Florida, causing everyone aboard to die or lose consciousness. For four hours on Monday, the jet flew 1,400 miles across the country, apparently on autopilot, before run­ ning out of fuel and spiraling nose- first into a soggy field. Bob B en zo n o f the N a tio n a l T ransp ortation Safety Board said investigators learned that a device ca lle d th e le ft-h a n d m o d u la to r valve, which takes heated air from the engine and runs it through the air-conditioning system to pressur­ ize the cabin, was changed on the plane Saturday. If the left-hand valve failed, the one on the right engine should have fed sufficient air into the cabin, he said. B en zo n said he d o e s n 't know w hy the valv e w as rep laced and whether such a piece has ever been a factor in a crash. "The fact it was changed doesn't really mean anything right now, but it s something we're looking into," he said, speaking at the crash site. Investigators on Wednesday had removed about a quarter of the jet from the 10-foot crater, and found human remains, engines, golf clubs and oxygen masks for the passen­ gers. Benzon said investigators want to determine whether the masks had dropped from the ceiling as they are ^ d esig n ed to do d u rin g a lo ss of cabin pressure. The pilots' oxygen masks had not been found. Crews expected to find the cock­ pit voice recorder soon because it w as lo cated in th e p la n e 's ta il, w hich w as being taken from the hole W ednesday. The Learjet had no flight data recorder that could provide mechanical information. The cockpit voice recorder has a 30-minute loop that usually records over itself. Officials do not expect to h ear a n y th in g ab o u t w hat h a p ­ pened when radio contact was lost and the p lan e veered o ff co u rse because that happened hours before the crash. But the voice recorder could have picked up sounds at the end of the flig h t that cou ld tell a lot abou t what was happening in the plane, Benzon said. S te w a rt, 42, w as o n e o f the w o rld 's m ost recognized golfers, known for wearing knickers and a tam-o'-shanter hat. Also killed were Stewart's agents and the two pilots. Bruce Borland, one of Jack N icklau s' g olf course designers, also was believed to be on board.

Inspired by peacem aking efforts in the British-ruled north, American sh ip w righ ts and apprentices from all parts of Ireland have spent three years building a replica of the Jeanie Johnston, a fabled sh ip th a t once ferried fam ine victim s across the Atlantic. "Jeanie has brought together Irish people — CatholiiS from the south, a n d P r o t e s t a n t s a n d C a th o l ic s together from the north — to build a living memorial to the terrible past they share," said project organizer Henry Lyons, donning a hard hat to survey the work in progress. From its arrival in 1848 until the famine's ebbing in 1854, the original Jeanie carried an a n n u a l cargo of emigrants from this remote so u th ­ west Irish port in C ounty Kerry to Baltimore, N e w York and Quebec City. The Canadian-built ship was one of hundreds that saved an estimated 2 million people from the wave of starvation and disease that claimed 1 million lives. That was a direct result of w ide­ sp r e a d p o ta to b lig h t on the crop m u c h of the n a tio n relied on for food and profit. Unlike most of the other vessels in v o lv e d , d u b b e d "coffin s h ip s " because of the wretched conditions aboard, the Jeanie had a doctor and d e c e n t s t a n d a r d s of fo o d a n d hygiene. The new Jeanie, though an identi­ cal 150 feet long, is d e s i g n e d to carry just 40 passengers instead of the original 200. It is scheduled to set sail April 2 on a millennium tour of U.S. and Canadian ports, starting in Washington, reaching New York C ity on Ju ly 4, th e n h e a d i n g to T oronto, M o n tre a l a n d the G reat Lakes. The project will cost an estimated $7 million, funded by international bodies such as the European Union and the U:S.-led International Fund for Ireland and by corporations with plants in Ireland, chiefly Elan Corp. pharmaceuticals. Though some involved are w o r­ ried about meeting the April dead­ line, the project already is meeting its goal of u n itin g y o u n g p e o p le from across this divided island — most sensitively, British Protestants from N o rth e rn Ireland w ith their Catholic co-workers. Of the 30 or so people currently w orking on the ship, only tw o are northern Protestants, a sign of the p ro f o u n d susp ic ions m a n y in the n o rth still h a rb o r of this half-for­ eign, half-familiar land. "A lot of P r o te s ta n ts w o u l d n 't w ant to come down, because they'd feel like a target," said Andy Reed, 24, from the P ro te s ta n t village of Glenarm, north of Belfast. But Reed said he 's e n co untered only good-natured ribbing from the locals, who mimic his Scottish-influ­ enced Ulster accent, along with gen­ uine confusion over why he consid­ ers himself British. "They're really out of touch with w h a t goes on u p n o rth ," he said.

Bush touted "the beauty of adoption" but said he w asn't prepared to offer direct federal help to churches that finance such programs. But Bush, die Texas governor, said he saw no conflict with taxpayer support for program s to w hich w om en are referred from the 3,000 such centers nationwide. "P a rt of m y job, should I become president, is to herald the beauty and love of adoptions and to recognize that in centers like this women find loving alternatives," Bush said at the Tri-State Pregnancy Center in blue-collar, heavily Catholic Dubuque — the heart of the state's anti-abortion m ovem ent. Financed by local churches, the center counsels women who have had abor­ tions as w ell as those w ho continue their pregnancies It was the second straight day that Bush has focused on reducing the num­ ber of problem pregnancies. On Tues­ day, he urged high school students to practice abstinence. "These events show where my heart STUDENT TRAVEL Lo n do n ............$ 3 9 1 P a r is ............... $ 4 4 1 Tokyo...............$ 8 3 7 A m ste rd a m .... $ 4 3 4 (512) 472-2900 2116 Guadalupe Street is," Bush said when reporters asked what signal he was trying to send. Bush said that, if elected, he would use the pow er of the presidency to bring attention to such centers, but offered no specific programs to help finance them. He ruled out any backing for church­ es that ban together to support such centers. "I think we ought to fund the pro­ grams or individuals who are trying to help, not the church from w hich the program draws its strength," sard Bush "That would step over the separation of church and state." Bush's focus is aim ed squarely at social conservatives in the party who are leery of his commitment to oppose abortion. Bush insisted Wednesday that he's "strongly pro-life" but has said the nation isn't ready for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. H e also says he w o u ld refuse to apply litmus tests in appointing only judges who oppose abortion. In tounng the crisis center, Bush said he was focusing on pragmatic wav s to reduce the number of abortions, includ­ ing adoption. He pointed to Texas laws making it easier to place children for adoption as a model he would follow if elected. "O u r society must recognize t h e beauty of adoption, " Bush said Bush did say his position on s u p p o r t ­ ing such crisis centers was evolving "T h is is an am azing accom plish­ ment," said Bush. "I don't have a specif­ ic role in mind yet, but I'm willing to lis­ ten to ideas." W hile Bush is the solid front-runner in the race, he is being challenged bv rivals making a strong appeal to the G O P s social and religious conserva­ tives. Best financed among those is pub- lisher Steve Forbes, w ho ro u tin ely attacks Bush for not taking a tougher stand against abortion.

District Attor­ ney Alex H unter said there was not enough evidence to charge anyone, although he and police said the Ram- seys remain under suspicion.

O n T uesday, O w ens said he had decided that investigators were on the right track, despite initial mistakes. "The killers in the case made some very serious mistakes, but they're also very sm art. They have stonew alled very effectively and they have covered their tracks well," Owens said. "To the killers, let me say this: You only think you have gotten away with m urder.

D istrict Judge Barton Voigt told Aaron M cKinney's law yers that he is n o t s u r e su c h a d e f e n s e is allow ed u n d e r W yom ing law and criticized the defense for invoking it w ithout consulting him first. "I am concerned about this and w here it is going," Voigt said o u t­ side the presence of the jury. "W e do not have a gay panic defense. I d o n 't know if I'm g oin g to allow it." M cKinney is charged w ith m u r­ der in the beating death of the gay University of W yom ing student. The "gay panic" or "hom osexual panic" defense is built on a theory that a person w ith latent hom osex­ ual tendencies will have an uncon­ tro lla b le , v io le n t re a c tio n w h e n propositioned by a hom osexual. M cKinney's law yers have argued th at M cK inney sn a p p e d d u rin g a drunken, drug-induced rage after a se x u a l a d v a n c e by S h e p a rd trig ­ g e re d m e m o rie s of a c h ild h o o d h o m o sex u al a ssa u lt. The law y ers are trying to save M cK inney's life by convincing the jury he is guilty only of m anslaughter. Voigt said the closest defense he could find in W yom ing law is the " b a tte r e d w o m a n " d e fe n s e , for th o s e w h o kill a s p o u s e in self- defense.
