The county would also like to keep the num ber of offenders housed in Del Valle under 20, Frasier said.

John McCain and former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, have arisen over the week­ end amid speculation about identi­ ty of Republican presidential can­ didate Gov. George W. Bush's run­ ning mate. The last-minute rise of tírese two names have prompted Bush's aides to caution that he could make a surprise pick in the next week. "Nobody has a lock on the job," a senior GOP official told The Associated Press. The aide added that despite the confusion, Cheney is currently the front-runner. Cheney was chosen earlier this year by Bush to lead his search for a running mate. The former Wyoming lawmaker was White House chief of staff under former President Ford and Pentagon chief under Bush's former President George Bush. father, Bruce Buchanan, UT professor of government, said Cheney has the experience needed for the vice presidency. "He is an old, wise head in the Republican party," Buchanan said. "He has White House experience and foreign relations experience."

Source: www.new sottheweird.com Bush may pick running mate on Tuesday McCAIN, from 1 presidency unless Bush dies during his term/' Buchanan said. Buchanan added that to political insiders, Cheney is solid and reliable, but to the public he has no star power that might draw votes. The fact that Bush is considering Cheney, the person he elected to head the search for a vice pres­ ident, as a running mate is a first, Buchanan said. "I think it was just an accident," he said. "Now that Bush has worked with him, he saw he was comfortable and reliable — according to what I've read, Bush's highest priority is someone who is comfortable and who doesn't push hot buttons." Cheney reportedly underwent physical exami­ nations last week to prove his good health. He has not had another heart attack since his last occurred 11 years ago. Cheney has also changed his voter registration back to Wyoming from Texas in compliance with a constitutional law that prevents a president and vice president from hailing from the same state. Another surprising possible running mate is McCain, who had previously said he did not want to be Bush's vice presidential candidate after drop­ ping out of the campaign for the presidential nom­ ination. Roderick Hart, professor of government and communications, said the announcement, made by McCain last Thursday, is surprising. McCain announced that he would run for vice president if asked by Bush. "He doesn't seem like someone who would adopt secondary positions," Hart said. "On one part logically the vice president is a pugnacious type which allows the president to seem more statesman like — McCain fits foe bill that way." Hart added that McCain has a few things that make him a good candidate for vice president — including being ready, willing and able to take foe low road. Hart said McCain would be a very difficult per­ son for Bush to deal with. "He would resist management and I think he has a volatile personality — he's too much of a maverick," Hart said. David Butts, a local Democratic campaign con­ sultant, said a decision should be expected a few days before the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia July 28-31. Butts added that foe Republicans will try to "showcase as harmonious a convention where extremes are not allowed as possible." Others mentioned as possible vice presidential candidates include Govs. Frank Keating of Oklahoma, Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania and George Pataki of New York; Rep. John Kasich of Ohio; and Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Bill Frist and Fred Thompson of Tennessee. Ray Sullivan, spokesman for foe Bush campaign office, said foe governor has made no decision on foe vice presidency as of Friday afternoon, although The Associated Press reports a decision could come Tuesday.

PASADENA, Calif. — William Collins, who caused controversy as a Big Brother contestant, proved to be just as feisty Sunday outside the confines of the CBS reality-TV show. In Collins' first news conference since he was voted off the show Thursday, the Philadelphia youth counselor said he was prepared for any threats. "I believe in my God and I believe in my gun,"Collins told the Television Critics Association, noting that he had a permit to carry a weapon. Collins riled his fellow contest­ ants by playing pranks on them and engaging in heated discus­ sions on race. He created head­ lines outside of the house because of his connection with the New for Self- Black Panther Party Wearing the floppy orange hat he sported on Big Brother and car­ rying a Bible, C ollins dodged questions about his political beliefs but spoke at length about his religious devotion. "You've seen me with my gun, but you haven't seen me with my apparently G o d ,"said C ollins, referring to a photo showing him armed at a 1998 rally held in Texas to protest the dragging death of a black man. Collins said he believed his ver­ bal confrontations with his fellow housem ates, include whites, a black woman and an Asian-American man, were valu­ able. which He helped them reassess their ideas about blacks and to consider the idea that minorities should be a respected part of the American melting pot, Collins said. kvrx.org 91.7fm s t u d e n t r a d i o f o r a u s t m i.L.jinjriiWr— - ......................................

Both children, an 8-year-old boy and a girl under age 1, were in good health, although the boy was hungry and thirsty, Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said. Beary said the suspect, Jamie Dean Petron, 41, had asked police to see the children reunited with their parents on live television after releasing them. A woman in her 40s, a 16-year-old girl and an 11- month-old boy remained inside the home Sunday afternoon, police said. Earlier Sunday, police had fired a shot at Petron in an attempt to end the stand­ off but missed. Shortly after 5 p.m., negotiators released a taped statement from Petron, at his request. Petron said he didn't mean to hurt anyone. Petron also had a message for his son and baby granddaughter. "I love you guys. Maybe we'll see each other some day," he said. I Petron took the family hostage Saturday after shooting an Orange County sheriff's deputy in the leg as the deputy tried to arrest him outside a near­ by grocery store, police said. Petron is suspected in the Friday shooting death of a Pompano Beach con­ venience store clerk, authorities said. Petron apparently did not know the family before he burst into their home in the Meadow Woods subdivision, south of Orlando. Tennesseans eager to register for ‘Do Not Call’ screening list NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mel Keylon says the company he works for occasionally needs to make telemarketing calls to drum up new business, even though he knows some people hate those calls, himself included. Although there are already national programs, Tennessee has set up a "Do Not Call" list so people can get their numbers removed from telemarketing lists. It's to go into effect Aug. 1, delayed one month by high demand. Almost 380,000 residences have signed up, near­ ly 18 percent of Tennessee's 1.9 million residential telephones, said Greg Mitchell, spokesman for the Tennessee Regulatory Agency. States with similar programs include Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, New York, Oregon and Texas. Businesses support "Do Not Call" lists because they want to target consumers who want to talk to them, said Kevin Brosnahan, spokesman for the Federal Teleservices Association in Washington, D.C., a telemarketing trade group. However, he said state lists just duplicate the Federal Communications Commission's 1995 Telemarketing Sales Rule, outlawing abusive and deceptive telemarketing practices. Cheap Thrills: Stephen King tests honesty of online readers NEW YORK — In an ambitious and quirky experiment beginning Monday, Stephen King is offering up the first two installments of a previous­ ly unpublished serial novel by posting them on his Web site and asking readers to pony up a buck for each copy they download. If the honor system works, the episodes will continue. Although he's eliminating his publisher from the process — and the story line of The Plant is about a creeping "vampire" plant that takes over a publish­ ing company — King says the only people he's interested in scaring are his readers. Simon & Schuster, which worked closely with King on his previous electronic publishing effort, a novella for hand-held devices that sold more than half a million copies in March, says it doesn't mind being left out on the distribution of The Plant. Other publishing industry insiders also see King's experiment as just that — a testing of the waters by a hugely popular author rather than a blueprint for what's to come for all writers. But if King proves his point, and he gets payment for 75 percent of the downloads — the minimum he wants for the series to continue — it would go a long way toward challenging the conventional wis­ dom that people are unwilling to pay for anything they see or hear on the Internet. The big question is whether die honesty system will work. Unlike King's Riding the Bullet novella, which was released in an encrypted format, downloads of The Plant will be in the open PDF format, which can be copied and printed at will. Pope urges international status for Jerusalem, prays for peace CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy — Pope John Paul II pressed his appeal for a special international sta­ tus for Jerusalem upon Camp David negotiators Sunday, saying that only international oversight could safeguard all the ancient city's religions. Such international safeguards would "assure freedom of religion and of worship for all the faith­ ful who, in the region and the entire world, look to Jerusalem as a crossroads of peace and of coexis­ tence," John Paul said, invoking foe city's "holy places and foe three monotheistic religions that sur­ round them." Israel and Palestinians alike claim the city, with sites sacred to Christianity, Islam and Judaism, as their capital.

NAGO, Okinawa — Leaders of foe world's most powerful economies pledged Sunday to help poor countries reduce their debts and improve educa­ tion, health care and computer technol­ ogy, but proposed little real money for foe initiatives. Some analysts wonder whether foe Group of Eight — foe United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia, foe newest member — still matters. In a 21-page summit-ending com­ munique, the countries said they would work harder to relieve foe debt burden of developing nations. They set a goal of universal primary education for all foe world's children by 2015 and gender equal it}' in schools by 2005. They also pledged a one-quarter reduc­ tion by foe year 2010 in the number of young people infected with foe virus that causes AIDS. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, foe summit host, said wealthy nations had an obligation to break foe "vicious cycle" of poverty and disease faced by poor nations. He declined, how'ever, to say whether Japan would provide money to help developing nations enter the information super­ highway. In fact, there was no statement on how foe leaders would pay for foe goals they set for themselves, other than President Clinton's pledge of $300 million in surplus farm crops to pro­ vide school lunches in foe developing w'orld.

In addition to its pledges on debt relief, education and health care,the leaders called for new partnerships with undeveloped countries to "bring foe opportunities of foe next century within reach of all." They established an information technology task force to make recom­ mendations on how best to "bridge the international information and knowl­ edge divide" between rich and ptxir nations.

Clinton returns to deadlocked Mideast summit By The Associated Press THURMONT, Md. — Hurrying back from an abbreviated trip to Asia, President Clinton was rejoining troubled Middle East talks at Camp David on Sunday even as American mediators spoke of foe possibility of failure. "We might reach a deal. We might not," a summit spokesman said. On foe 13th day of talks — foe same period required to strike a deal at foe landmark 1978 Camp David summit — neither Israel nor the Palestinians signaled any change in position on foe prime point of dispute: Jerusalem. Both sides claim foe ancient city as their capital. "The ball is in foe Israeli court," said Hassan Abdel Rahman, Washington envoy of foe Palestine Liberation Organization and a fre­ quent spokesman during foe talks. "Will they do what is needed to reach an agreement? Or will they stick to their unacceptable posi­ tions?" Israeli spokesman Gadi Baltiansky suggest­ ed foe Palestinians would need to make con­ cessions to move matters forward. With Clinton's return, he said, "We will try to see if there are grounds for continuing this effort." Speaking later on television, Baltiansky said, "It would be easier to proph­ esy what will happen in 24 years than what wall happen here in foe next 24 hours." Israel Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who sat in for Clinton after he left early Thursday for an economic summit in Japan, took both Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak on separate excur­ sions over foe w'eekend. It marked foe first time foe two leaders had left foe secluded retreat since foe talks began. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Clinton's first task upon return­ ing would be to meet with his own negotiat­ ing team. He said no schedule had been set for foe evening, but he would not be surprised if Clinton met both leaders late Sunday. Asked about prospects for foe summit going forward, he said Clinton's initial assess­ ment would be extremely important. After U.S. declared Wednesday that foe summit had ended with­ out an agreement, "one hesitates to make any kind of prediction," Boucher said. prematurely officials No deadline has been set for completing foe talks, but Boucher said the U.S. mediation effort could not continue indefinitely. "We are not here for an unlimited period of time," he said. Throughout foe summit, American spokes­ men have freely acknowledged foe atmos­ phere has been very tense at times. Boucher said that remained foe case as the two sides grappled with foe toughest issues. Clinton said before leaving Japan that what­ ever foe outcome, foe two sides had made a genuine effort to resolve their long-standing disputes over Jerusalem, foe boundaries of a Palestinian state and foe fate of several million Palestinian refugees.

P R I refuses cooperation Ivory Coast votes on new constitution By The Associated Press MEXICO CITY — The party that ruled Mexico for 71 years says it will not participate in foe government of foe opposition president-elect who booted it out of power, foe Refomia newspaper reported Sunday. Vicente Fox, whose party does not have a majority in congress, has pledged to include all major political parties since his stunning July 2 elec­ tion victor}' ousting foe Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. But PRI president Dulce Maria Sauri said it would be "unimagin­ able" that members of her party would hold posts in Fox's administra­ tion. "We can't collaborate with those who have attacked and insulted us," she told foe Mexico City-based Reforma. Fox, a tough-talking cowboy, led one of foe biggest name-calling presi­ dential campaigns ever seen in Mexico. He called foe PRI candidate, Francisco Labastida, everything from a "sissy" to "La Vestida," a pun on his name implying Labastida is a cross- dresser. The business-oriented National Action Party candidate also cam­ paigned largely on toppling the long- ruling party and ending corruption, promising a broad-based govern­ ment and a free-market economy. "How could one of us be foe interi­ or secretary when their political ideas are completely different from ours?" Sauri said. It was not clear, however, if indi­ vidual PRI members would pass up such an opportunity. Fox's personal secretary is Alfonso Durazo, a mem­ ber of the PRI and foe former secre­ tary of Luis Donaldo Colosio, foe PRI's presidential candidate who was assassinated during the 1994 cam- paign. Since his election, Fox has empha­ sized building alliances to diffuse Mexico's volatile and rapidly chang­ ing political terrain. But PRI becomes the second party to reject his offer to participate in his government. The largest center-left party, the Democratic Revolution Party, also turned it down — though last week it said its legislators are con­ sidering working with Fox's part}’ in Congress on certain issues. The PRD finished third in the presidential elec­ tions. Last week. Fox announced a multi­ party transition team to usher in the change. He is expected to announce his actual Cabinet and top advisers in late August or September. By The Associated Press ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — In a vote highlighting ethnic divisions while testing foe ruling junta's resolve to return foe nation to civil­ ian rule, residents of Ivory to ast turned out Sunday to decide whether to approve a new constitu­ tion. The referendum, which will play a major role in deciding who could be the next president, comes at a critical juncture for Ivor}' Coast. Once among Africa's most stable nations, foe country faces increas­ ing military unrest, a battered econ­ omy and fears that things could get worse. The government declared a state of emeigency ahead of the referen­ dum, but foe commercial capital, Abidjan, was unusually quiet Sunday and there were no signs of violence. While turnout estimates were not available, long lines, some with well over 200 people, snaked through some Abidjan neighborhoods. Organizational problems plagued many areas, with late openings at some polling stations, insufficient voting materials and election offi­ cials who failed to turn up. Some of foe country's 4.8 million registered voters wea1 kept waiting for their voting cards, and there were also scattered accusations of voting fraud. Police arrested four supporters of foe country's main opposition Alassane leader, Dramane Ouattara, for allegedly buying "no" votes, said Menan Basil Adou, a senior municipal offi­ cial in Abidjan's crowded Adjame neighborhood. The junta acknowledged the problems in a statement broadcast on state-run radio and said voting would continue Monday from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. at foe stations where voters were unable to cast their ballots Sunday. Elsewhere, voting continued past foe 6 p.m. deadline to give all those who turned up the chance to cast their ballots. For many voters in Abidjan, foe referendum appeared to be a vote on Ivory Coast's willingness to remain a haven for immigrants, from poverty- many of wracked states to the north. them "We are victims of that hospitali­ ty now," said Dominique Agnero, 41, a civil servant. "The foreigners should get in an airplane and call us by phone. We don't want to see them. Ivory Coast has some 19 million residents, about 40 percent ot them immigrants who came here when foe country was foe region's eco­ nomic powerhouse. But in recent years, as prices for the country's main exports, cocoa and coffee, have plummeted, the economy has stumbled and its hospitality has turned to a simmenng xenophobia. Many see foe referendum as a junta plan to exclude Ouattara from foe Sept. 17 presidential elections, because a last-minute amendment to the draft constitution stipulates that both parents of presidential candidates must be "of Ivorian ori- gin." Ouattara, a former top official with the International Monetary Fund, has nevertheless encouraged his followers to vote "yes," insisting both his parents were Ivonan. Yet some Ouattara supporters feared their leader would be excluded and said they would vote against the constitution. Ouattara was at the center of controversy over similar eligibility conditions under former President Henri Konan Bedie, who was ousted in a Christmas Eve coup that brought junta leader Gen Robert Guei to power. 4_____ The Daily Texan JULY 24, 2000 Opinion Big Brother is watching by Garrick Pursley Daily Texan Columnist If you get arrested anytime soon, it would probably be a good idea to keep your mouth shut in the back seat of the police car. Do it even if you think no one is listening. Austin police officers have begun to use video cam­ eras to secretly monitor suspects after the point of arrest, when they are handcuffed and in the back seat of the squad car. Since 1998,fc video cameras have been installed in many police vehicles. In Austin today, 35 out of 201 squad cars have cameras, and there are plans to nearly double that number this year. Although it's not known how many officers are recording their sus­ pects in secret, the practice does exist. John Cornyn recently ruled that videotape evidence of suspects recorded without their knowledge in court. The argument seems to be that once a suspect is read his or her Miranda rights they can be video­ Texas Attorney General is admissible taped without impeding civil liberties. However, there is a problem with the logic of that decision. Contrary to the obvious, privacy is not a concern. It's dear that a person under arrest and handcuffed in a squad car should not expect a guaran­ tee of privacy. More distressing is the potential breach of fundamental dvil liberties involved in the practice of secret surveillance. the purpose of The first portion of the Miranda speech is: "You have the right to remain silent. If you choose to give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." Now, the Miranda speech is to inform suspects of the rights that they have with respect to due process of law, so that they may make more informed deci­ sions about what to do after an arrest. But if an officer videotapes suspects without telling them that their state­ ments are being recorded, there is no basis for those suspects to make an informed waiver of their right to remain silent. Thus, there is a coherent argument for such secret video taping being in dired conflict with the due process 14th Amendment. clause the of There is, of course, ample justifica­ tion for the presence of cameras on the dashboards of police cars. Anyone who has seen an episode of COPS on the Fox network can attest to the fact that officers are occasionally attacked by suspects. It is not so dear that there is a safety concern once a person has been handcuffed and placed in the cage of the back seat. The only satisfy­ ing explanation for the practice is that officers would like a way to better guarantee a conviction. The question becomes, then, one of police power. Police discretion has often been cited to justify slight abridgements of civil liberties, but in this case, the core of Miranda is com­ promised, and there is no excuse. Of course, the area of contention is not whether officers should be allowed to videotape suspects, as that practice may serve the purpose of safety at times. The problem is that such evi­ dence, if taken without the knowledge of the suspect, should not be admissi­ ble in a trial. Both the wisdom and the constitu­ tionality of Comyn's decision should be reexamined. If the practice of secret surveillance is allowed to continue, it can't help but expand into other areas of society. Where should the line between state interest and personal freedom be drawn? Taken to its logical extreme, one can look forward to the advent of a more universal statement of rights, one given to people as soon as they are old enough to talk. It might sound some­ thing like, "You have the right to remain silent. If you choose to give up that right, anything you say, anytime, anywhere, can and will be used against you at some unknown future time in a court of law." We would become a population responsible for policing its own thoughts at all times. Are we heading some Orwellian surveillance society? Wait ... it might be safer not to answer that. towards Pursley Is a philosophy senior T he Da ily T exan Editor Cecily Sailer Associate Editors Karen Gross Marshall Maher Michael Wilt O pinions expnNs*-d in The Daily Texati are th<*se of the editor, the editorial board or w riter of the article Urey are not neecssanly those of die University adm inistra­ tion, die Board of K<>gents or the Texas Student Publications Board of O perating Trustees. VIEWPOINT Higher Ed & Politics of Pork Well, the good news is that Congress is finally allocating more m oney to higher education than it ever has. The bad news is that a large portion of that money is being used for what amounts to ridiculous research ventures. Welcome to the won­ derful world of "pork barrel" politics. A report in this w eek's Chronicle o f Higher Education sheds light on the politics of pork in higher education. Representatives in Congress during the last session — drunk on the excesses of a budget surplus and operating under the auspices of election year politics — had an easy time roping in money for their con­ stituents, thus bringing more spoils into the treasuries of the universities in their districts. In the end, Congress secured over $1 billion for universities in the 2000 fiscal year budget — a 31 percent increase from last year's total of $797 million. The money was either as individual earmarked funds, those given to only one university, or shared earmarked funds, those giv en to more than one university. Texas happened to benefit a great deal from the rising trend in spending. Overall, universities in the state received $47.5 mil­ lion, second only to California's $64-million allotment. Among Texas universities, Texas A&M ranked 11th on the list of pork apportionments with over $13 million in individual earmarked funds and almost $22 million in shared earmarked funds. Right behind A&M was the UT Health Science Center at Houston receiving $12.7 million in individual funds and $1.5 million in shared funds. And the University checked in at No. 19 on the list with $9 million in individual earmarked funds. Naturally, this increase in spending on higher education should be heralded as an investment in future generations. However, much of the money is actually being used to under­ take frivolous ventures and needless studies and projects. Researchers at Texas A&M received a portion of the almost $5 million shared earmarked funds to relocate a railroad line that runs through campus and the towns of College Station and Bryan. Additionally, A&M will get to use some of $3.3 million to study shrimp aquaculture. And execs in the fashion industry can breathe a collective sigh of relief for the $300,000 A&M will be given to evaluate the quality of wool, mohair, cashmere and other animal fibers in clothing. Maybe all the genetic work on sheep will finally pay off. It's easy to dismiss these inane ventures, since it is A&M, but this wasteful "pork barrel" spending is occurring everywhere. Here in Austin, the University was given $9 million to develop cannons that use electromagnets when firing projectiles and design software and telemetry to train soldiers at Fort Hcxxd. But not all the projects are wasteful or unneccesary. Ai the UT Health Science Center, $7 million will be used to research treat­ ments for lung cancer and $460,000 will help design a program to control cancer in populations that are predominantly minor­ ity and medically underserved. These types of endeavors are desperately needed and efforts to support them should be applauded. It's unfortunate, though, that members of Congress don't draw the line between w hat's necessary and what's not — these days it seems the easiest way to buy a vote is to drop a million bucks on studying the mating habits of shrimp. Som e of the $1 billion allocated by Congress could surely be used for more worthy investments. Perhaps a portion of that money could be invested in the "education" portion of higher education. As it stands, a great majority of students may not see even a fraction of that $1 billion. So, while members of Congress are investing millions in individual pet projects, they're losing out on perhaps the safest and most important investment — the students. Monday Morning Blues It’s Monday again. Here’s our measly attempt to make the day less painful: • Buy a bunch of teeny bopper magazines and plaster pictures of 'N Sync, Brittany Spears, The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block (oops, wrong generation) all over your notebook. The looks of disgust on your classmates face may be humorous enough to overcome the embarrassment of actually taking photos of these “heartthrobs” to class. • While it is Monday and you do have to go to school, imagine if you woke up this morning and realized you were an Aggie. If that doesn’t make you feel better, nothing will. • Going to class may not be a party in and of itself, but it gives you an opportunity to get out of the insane Austin heat and keep cool for an hour and fifteen minutes. • Whisper to the guy sitting next to you in class that you know his secret but for a pretty penny you will keep it away from the press. This will not only give you a few laughs, but may also provide you with some extra summer cash. • Drink a gallon of Red Bull, the popular “high energy drink,” and see where it takes you for the day. GALLERY Out in left field Tired of using journalis­ tic might to bring down cor­ ruption and hypocrisy in the world, we now turn our pens on the Fox program­ ming department The brains at the Fox Network decided to cancel their only good hour of TV (the 9 pan. block of The Simfisons and Seinfeld) and nm an hour- long local news show. However, “snooze” show would more accurately describe a program that consistently got heat by reruns of the Fresh Prince o f BeTAire.

For example, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which grants licenses and assigns radio frequencies to stations on the broadcast spectrum, had threatened to revoke local station KLBJ's license unless they dropped the Dr. Laura Shoiv, that would be censorship, since such a hypothetical action would unconstitu­ tionally abridge KLBJ's free speech/free press First Amendment. But because only a gov­ ernmental agency such as the FCC can revoke a license, only the government can ceasor. If KLBJ decides to discontin­ ue airing the Dr. Laura Shcrw, for what­ ever reason, that action is editorial/pro­ gram discretion, not censorship. If The Texan Editorial Board had decided to am someone else's column on Friday instead of Olson's, we wouldn't say that The Texan censored Olson. The same applies to KLBJ's decision on whether to continue airing Laura or not Schlessinger's talk show. under rights the Like KLBJ, the ALGPC is a private organization and, consequently lacks the power to censor. All that the ALGPC is boycott advertisers of can do Schlessinger's program. For public rela­ tions reasons, many large companies will stop advertising on controversial programs in the face of well-organized boycotts, no matter how large an audi­ ence a particular show reaches. Finally, the Dr. Laura Show furor illus­ trates the lack of an organized liberal media bias. Do many of the "liberal" station managers at KLBJ or any of the other stations across the country that carry her show, agree with her views on homosexuality. Of course not. But they want to make money. The unregulated media/press in America is, fortunately, the closest thing we have to a textbook example of capitalism and free enter­ prise. If something doesn't sell, it gets can­ celed. This profit-and-loss mechanism of the free market is precisely what pre­ vents a liberal, or conservative, bias from becoming entrenched in the media. Liberal radio station owners and managers would probably much rather air liberal talk show hosts like Jim Hightower and Mario Cuomo. But because they can make much more money, they end up airing conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh, Don Imus and Paul Pryor. Clark Patterson UT alum Protest not censorship In his July 21 column, Karl Olson seems to think that the Austin Lesbian / Gay Political Caucus's (ALGPC) plan to protest against advertisers of the Dr. Laura show is somehow akin to censor­ ship. While Dr. Laura Schlessinger has a right to say or think whatever she wants about homosexuality, she has no First Amendment right to have her own the First radio show. Nor does Amendment somehow negate the ALGPC's right to speak their mind and to use their power of protest to rally public opinion and apply economic pressure to Dr. Laura's advertisers. Censorship is when the government itself tries to stop a private company or an individual from saying or writing what he wants. The First Amendment in no way prevents other private citizens from engaging in boycotts, protests against advertisers, or any other means of applying economic pressure to a radio station that must be sensitive to its advertisers and to the public. While Mr. Olson is free to disagree with the effectiveness or the merits of the ALGPC's tactics, he should know better than to simply dismiss it as cen­ sorship. The ALGPC is perfectly within their rights in doing whatever they can to stop someone they believe has no business on the air. Marcos Huerta UT alum Bureaucratic sadists "Bureaucratic sadist" is my new term that I have assigned to many staff mem­ bers at the University. You know them, they take pleasure in inflicting bureau­ cratic pain. They are the ones who tell you they don't handle that function, transfer you three times and don't tell you a shortcut when there is one. I get tired of seeing staff not take one extra step to help a student. I firmly believe there is one body of people that can be staff advocates for fair compensation, better benefits, etc: students. We must remember that we would not have this job if it were not for the students. It is no wonder that many stu­ dents find the University to be unfriend­ ly, big and rude. I'm tired of answering the same questions over and over, year after year, too. But, I. work at the University because I enjoy the students, they keep me young they make me happy. I don't work in the corporate world for a reason. Give students a break, then when you need them to advocate for you — they will. Even if you don't give two hoots about staff issues, do it to smile at your job. The students have a large voice on this University, we should be allies. Cut this Firing Line out, hang it on your computer, put it in that sadist7s mailbox anonymously. For those of you going the extra step — keep it up, people do notice. I'd like to see the students and staff protesting together someday. Why? Because students appreciate and respect us, and want us to be treated fairly. CeCe F(ldder UT staff Peace in the Middle East? I read with great interest your article last Friday on UT organizations weigh­ ing in on the current peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis. As co-chair of the Palestine Solidarity Committee, I would like to add a few comments. Despite the sense of urgency for a quick peace that my fellow Longhorn leaders are speaking of, I drink we still have a long way to go. It is increasingly apparent that the leaders involved in this "process" are the ones trying to get their names on agreements while the people are being ignored. Israeli society (with few excep­ tions) still refuses to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing that resulted in more than 4 million Palestinians currently liv­ ing in the diaspora. The refugees contin­ ue to be denied the right to return to their original homes and many are now confined to overcrowded camps and denied the basics such as clean water and the right to work. It is foreseeable that an agreement will be signed on paper, but the Israeli and Palestinian people are being misled into believing that peace will only be achieved by their separation. A complex network of bypass roads, walls, fences and elevated highways is already under construction to separate and create a new Berlin Wall- Apartheid-hybrid situation. The cre­ ation of the Palestinian state will still leave more than 1 million Palestinians (many with Israeli citizenship) inside Israel, dramatically effecting the demo­ graphics of the Jewish state. The "peace agreement" is also not likely to resolve the issue of Jerusalem (Al-Quds). The Israelis are insistent on the Judization of the dty at the expense of its Christian and Muslim identities. Peace is difficult when the rules of the game are ethno­ religious superiority and separation. Some form of a loose democratic con­ federation with no ethnic or religious discrimination may be our only way out. I hope that my pessimism is out of place, but the painful lessons of history from many places like South Africa or even right here in the United States make optimism difficult.

In the July 21 issue of the journal Science, the biologists showed that they can disrupt both the AIDS virus and the hum an gene that the AIDS virus uses to gain access to human cells on the genetic level, which would potentially infected w ith H um an make to Immunodeficiency Virus Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. In most cases, HIV leads to AIDS. immune those Piraye Yurttas, a UT Plan II and microbiolo­ gy junior who has been working in the labo­ ratory as a research assistant since last August, said the process being developed may be able to attack infected genes while maintaining a low probability of harming others. "Picture diseases as Hitler invading France," Yurttas said. "You could go in and bomb France to bits or randomly bomb it — the current method of gene therapy — but there's a big chance you'll kill villagers or waste the country. Our technique is like a smart bomb because we target a specific genetic sequence and can aim for it, so, if we aim for Hitler, we've got him." The new technique centers around the dis­ covery that Group II introns, or junk D N A are unique because they can splice themselves out of a specific site and predictably reinsert themselves directly into double-stranfied DNA. Junk DNA are sequences that do not code and whose functions are not fully under­ stood. The UT team was able to manipulate the sequence of this junk DNA and then rein­ sert it at specific sites on cell genomes in a manner not possible before. Alan Lambowitz, director of the institute and lead researcher, said the g r o u p 's findings are a potential stepping stone to more advanced gene research. "This was not a mechanism that anyone had ever seen before. It is perfectly designed for inserting genes into specific sites," said Lambowitz, a professor of chemistry and bio­ chemistry. "If this research develops as planned, it is going to be a very major devel­ opment and potentially have vast importance. But, there is research to be done before that." The team has demonstrated that designing a sequence of Group II introns to specifically target an HIV gene sequence works. "The cultured cells were originally isolated from human tissue and grown outside the bodv on a petri dish," said Dr. Huatao Guo, postdoctoral researcher at the institute and another lead author of the article. "We tested a piece of DNA from HIV, which was not alive, and successfully disrupted it with [our] intron. The same mechanism should be able to work on a live HTV virus." the essential genes The technique is currently being used to knock out that pathenogenic — or disease-causing, bacteria need to function — and could be used to cure tuberculosis, pneumonia, leprosy and other bacterial illnesses in the future. It could also help combat the problem of bacterial resist­ ance to antibiotics, according to Lambowitz. The findings could also be used in th future to cure genetic diseases like cystic fibr sis and muscular dystrophy. But, there ai obstacles, said graduate student Michael Karlberg. "The nuclear membrane acts as a bam< between the chromosome and cytoplasm, ant nature is set up for information to just cor out," Karlberg said. "We have to break tl barrier. There are a few genes that can go ba and forth, so it's possible to design one. But is a matter of time until we put the right piet together." Yurttas is using the team's technique in h senior thesis to target and disrupt the hum papilloma virus, which is a cause of cervv cancer. She is currently in the design stages, which the introns are extracted from bactei i and cut and pasted together to create sequence that might eradicate a victim's d eased genes if scientists are someday able use the technique for healing within th hum an body. "Hopefully in the fall I'll be taking hum. cancer cells and putting the Group II introns I designed to the test," she said. "Women's di eases are sometimes pushed to the side. On* of the reasons I chose HPV was to help women." The technique has been patented bv Lambowitz, Ohio University, when Lambowitz began his research, and th University of Texas. Lambowitz is also the sci entific advisor of InGex, a company forme specifically to apply the technique. "Part of our job is to protect our knowledg and to put it to good use in society," he said.

Cha-Chee Thalken/Daily Texan Staff Studies show college campuses see rise in outbreaks in dorms By Kristin Carlisle Daily Texan Staff As the University braces for its largest freshman class in history, UT health officials are seeking ways to pre­ vent the spread of meningitis — a potentially fatal bacterial infection that thrives in crowded living conditions — particularly in college dormitories. Freshmen living in dorms are four times as likely to contract meningitis than other university students, accord­ ing to a study released by the Journal of the American Medical Association in May of last year. Meningitis is an infection of the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and the brain. In response to the study, which reported that outbreaks' have been increasing on college campuses in recent years, the Advisory Committee on Im m unization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control unani­ mously voted to recommend that all universities provide meningitis vacci­ to college students. The nations Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is composed of members of the CDC who regulate disease preven­ tion. Sherry Bell, UT assistant director for health promotion, said that while there have not been any recent cases of meningitis at the University, University Health Services offers a meningitis vac­ cine to students for $65. "Essentially, we are not requiring it of students, but it is an immunization stu­ dents should consider," Bell said. "After the study came out, we saw a dramatic increase in students who were getting vaccinated." Bell said that beginning this year, the University Health Services will send incoming freshmen an information sheet about the disease and how to get vaccinated. The study also sparked debate over whether meningitis vaccinations should be mandatory for college stu­ dents, as they have been for military recruits since a meningitis outbreak hit military bases in 1971. The study indicated a higher inci­ dence of meningitis cases in college domes than in other college settings, documenting 1.4 cases for every 1IX),(XXI freshmen and 3.8 for every HX),000 freshmen living in dorms. Tom Skinner, spokesman for the CDC, said that although he is still unsure of why college students are more likely to become infected, he believes that factors other than crowded dorms, such as nicotine and alcohol use, also put them at a higher risk. Iowa religious schools to get public funds Court says all students need computer access By The University Wire AMES, Iowa — A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling favored Iowa's use of taxpayer dollars to make com­ puter technology more available to pri­ vate schools. The Mitchell vs. Helms ruling upheld a governm ent program that provides religious schools with the use of com­ puters. "I'm ecstatic that the funds are avail­ able," said Bob Stouffer, head of Des Moines Christian School. Iowa passed a bill that allotted $1.5 million in taxpayer dollars to the Department of Education for purposes of making technology available to stu­ dents of accredited non-public schools. Stouffer said the Supreme Court rul­ ing "clears the way" for money to Des Moines Christian School and other pri­ vate schools in Iowa. The money is allotted from the Department of Education's technology account. The bill states primary and second­ ary religious schools "shall be made available to purchase non-sectarian, non-religious technology." 'Tuition is not enough to cover costs — when any other source of revenue becomes available, were going to take advantage of it," Stouffer said. More technological education could make incoming Iowa freshmen better prepared for college, said Beverly Madden, director of career services at Iowa State University. Madden said a lack of computer access in high school can affect a stu­ dent's choice of major and career. "My sense would be that it may affect the realm of study they choose," Madden said. "There could be a limit­ ing factor in terms of which of our majors would be appealing to them."

On Saturday, the Austin chapter of Habitat for Humanity held an orientation intended to introduce prospective homeowners to the program. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps peo­ ple who can't afford houses to build homes for them­ selves. Mary Pleasant currently lives in a three-bedroom duplex with her mother, her daughter and two grand­ children. She attended the orientation because she said she cannot afford to own a home in the dty. "The average person making $20,000 per year is unable to purchase a home," Pleasant said. Mary Luna, who drives a school bus for the Austin Independent School District, said attending the orien­ tation was her first attempt trying for any sort of assis­ tance. "A iot of people can afford $350 a month for rent, but not $700 a month," Luna said. Another woman attending the orientation, who declined to give her name, said she had applied for a loan from a bank and was denied. She added that if her loan had been approved, she probably would not be able to afford the interest payments if she purchased a home. According to an August 1999 report by the Community Action Network, between 1990 and 1998, average single-family home prices and average rents rose about 70 percent. Currently, the average price for a house in Austin is around $150,000. CAN is a local consumer advocate protection group. The report gave several reasons for the increase in housing costs, which include rapid population and employment growth, uneven growth in wages and a decline in federal funding for housing assistance. Karen Paup, co-director of the Texas Low-Income Housing and Information Office, said housing costs are high and necessary. "Housing is the most expensive basic need we have, it represents a considerable cost," Paup said. Paup also described a method currently being used by the City of Austin to finance low-ineome housing projects, in which the City allocates a portion of its tax revenue to a Housing Trust Fund. Paup said under this method, real-estate develop­ ers must either donate money to the fund or give a designated percentage of their housing development to affordable housing. Metropolitan area's AffordaMa population i sing While Paup commends the dty for financing hous­ ing projects, she said the dty caters too much to develop­ ers. "We just put $15 million up for a luxury hotel that will go with the Convention Center/' Paup said. A spokeswoman at the M ayor's Office said the hotel is an equity invest­ ment that the dty will even­ tually own and that will cre­ ate revenue for the dty through property and sales taxes. 1990: 846,227 1998: 1,105,909 source: Departm ent of Housing and Urban Development • Approximate cost for single-family home: 1990: $87,600 1998: $150,000 source: Comm unity Action Network • Habitat for Humanity’s Income qualifications for family of four: $14,100 - $29,500 FOR M O R C IN FO R M A TIO N • Austin Habitat Humanity (512) 472-8788 for • Texas Income Housing Service (512) 477- Low Paup said it is important to have public finandng for low-income housing development. "[Habitat of Humanity] is one of the best examples of private sector organizations, but it is not on the same scale as what the public sector can do," Paup said. Barbra, who declined to give her last name, has been working with Habitat since October and will begin construction on her home in September. Organizations like Habitat are critical in securing affordable housing, she said. 'To me, that's a dream come true ... to own your own home," Barbra said. n a gesture of thanks, Rosa Sanchez, future occupant of a new house built by the Austin Habitat for Humanity, serves a neal to volunteers following her home’s dedication ceremony Saturday. The ceremony recognized all the volunteers who :ontributed time and effort to the construction of the Sanchez’s house, which was completed in eight days. u n a -c n e e maimm/L/cmy i c a c u i j i o h County workers could qualify for federal aid C a m ero n County em ployees' ea rn in g s lie below poverty level By The Associated Press BRO W N SV ILLE, Texas — O ne-third of the full-tim e em ployees in C am eron C ounty earn w ages below' the fed eral poverty level and could qu alify for program s such as food stam p s, acco rd in g to a n ew sp ap er analysis.

Civil commitment process yet to see first trial By The Associated Press CO N RO E — The idea of the. 1999 civil com m itm ent law w as to protect society from dangerous rapists and child m oles­ ters. But several conflicts have hindered im plem entation, and to date not one sex offend er has been sent into treatm ent. U nder the C ivil C om m itm ent Act, a special prosecu tor can ask a judge or jury to place certain violent sex offend ­ ers in ou tpatient counseling or under fu ll-tim e e le c tro n ic su rv eilla n ce after their prison term s have ended. Before the inm ate leaves prison, the prosecutor m ust file a civil law suit seeking the com ­ m itm ent. An inm ate has the right to fight the treatm ent w ith representation from the State C ounsel for O ffenders. The law took effect in January. But a pay dispute w ith the Texas Board of C rim inal Ju stice kept the state cou n sel's division that handles civil com m itm ents from being established until M arch. W ith the salary squ abble resolved and the new d ivision in place by spring, law yers readied the first case: convicted rapist Terry Don Ingram . A June 20 trial date w as set. A w eek before jury selection, prosecu ­ tors dropped the Ingram law suit because they w ere relying on testim ony from psychologist Roger Sau nd ers, an associ­ ate of W alter Q uijano. E arlier this year, the U .S.

Tribe files lawsuit, alleges water being ‘diverted By The Associated Press EL PASO — The Tigua Indian tribe has accused the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the El Paso County irrigation dis­ trict of "illegally diverting" the Rio Grande's water to Hudspeth County farmers. The claim is part of a lawsuit that calls for flow to be restored to a section of the river the Tiguas consider sacred. The petition demands that the bureau and the irrigation dis­ trict stop sending extra water from the Elephant Butte reservoir to farmers in El Paso and Hudspeth County. The tribe says the diversion of water has drained the Rio Grande and prevented the Tiguas from using a three-mile stretch of the river near Ysleta for religious ceremonies. 1 awyers for the Indian tribe are also suing the Boundary and Water Commission, which is the lead agency on a study of a regional water plan. The El Paso-Las Cruces Regional Sustainable Water Project, sponsored by the New Mexico/Texas Water Commission, reviews tibe West Texas city's water needs for the next 50 years and would greatly increase the amount residents could extract for public use. The tribe seeks court orders blocking issuance of an environmental impact statement that would likely approve the project. Hudspeth County officials, meanwhile, criticized the latest allegation, saying cutting off water would kill more than 16,000 acres of cotton and alfalfa fields along the Rio Grande and gut the $8 million farming industry Fort Hancock relies on. "What that would do is just shut down the valley and Fort Hancock if they're successful," Sandy Pridgeon, chief appraiser for the Hudspeth County Appraisal District, told the El Paso Times in Saturday's editions. "It's scary. The place would just dry up." HARP’ AND SOUL Convicted murder-ior-hire millionaire speaks out to San Antonio newspaper By The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Convicted murder-for-hire millionaire Allen Blackthome, speaking in a series of jailhouse collect calls to a newspaper, assert­ ed his innocence in the 1997 death of his ex-wife in her Florida home. Blackthome, in one of the 11 calls he made to the Sati Antonio Express-Neu* last week, challenged the murder-for-hire plot prosecutors used to convict him last month. • "Why would 1 hire Curly, Larry and Moe?" Blackthome, 45, told the news­ paper, according to a story Sunday. "What — I don t have the resources to hire a professional?" Blackthome was the last of four people to be convicted or to plead guilty in the slaying of Sheila Bellush. He was conv icted July 6 and faces a mandatory life sentence. His sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 2. Bellush was killed shortly after moving with her second husband and six chil­ dren to Sarasota, Fla. Her 2-year-old quadruplets from her second marriage were discovered unharmed in the house, two of them crawling in their moth­ er's blood. On the stand, Blackthome denied accusations that he asked a golfing buddy, Daniel Rocha, during a golf trip to Oregon to find a hit man to kill his ex-wife. Rocha testified he contacted his friend Sammy Gonzales, who hired his cousin, Jose Luis Del Toro, the alleged tnggerman. Both Gonzales and Rocha are serving prison terms in Florida for solicitation of murder and Del Toro, 23, a former high school football star in Uvalde, is serv­ ing life in prison with no parole after pleading guilty to Bellush's murder. Blackthome summed up his accomplices' testimony as lies. "I was convicted with lies and I'm asking for somebody to say, 'Hey!' Is any­ body interested in saying that 'Gee, Allen Blackthome was convicted with lies?"' Blackthome said. Harpist Patrice Fisher plays Latin Jazz on her electric harp at Curra s Grill Saturday.

See pas* 8 Tig er’s talent is Jórdanesque Damien Pierce Daily Texan Columnist Ever since Michael Jordan hung up his basketball sneakers, we have been look­ ing for the one that w ould take his place on the pedestal. We have been looking for the basketball player that could soar just a little higher than everyone else on the hardw ood, the ballplayer that could make the most ardu­ ous of circumstances look so easy w ith every shot and dunk. We have been looking for the athlete that could capture our imagination and entertain us in a w ay that only Jordan could. We have been looking for anyone that resembles the greatest basketball player that ever lived, and we have come u p em pty in every search. It turns out we have been looking for the next MJ in the wrong sport. The One We should have been looking to the golf course, rather than the basketball court. Tiger Woods is the one. He is everything that Jordan was, and like H is Aimess, Woods does things in his sport that awe anyone w ho watches him — including other pro golfing legends. Woods also carries himself w ith that same confident dem eanor that Jordan used to have on the floor, and the way he makes golf — a sport so few can play effectively — look so easy is completely Jordanesque. He amazes and has a flair for the spec­ tacular. And of course, he dominates. On Sunday afternoon at the British Open, Woods became the youngest golfer ,ever to w in a career Grand Slam at the age of 24, and he did it with ease. Woods carded a 19-under par perform ­ ance, leaving the rest of the field a solid eight strokes back after he sunk his final putt. No one, not even Jack Nicklaus, had w on by that margin in 87 years of play at the Old Course. In fact, Woods was so good that it was never really a question which player's nam e would be engraved on the claret jug before the day began. Heck, even bookies in Scotland knew it. They stopped taking bets on w ho w ould w in the British O pen on Saturday, and instead decided to take tabs on w ho w ould place second. It w as that m uch of a shoo-in. Of course, David Duval did make a run at Tiger by pulling w ithin three shots in the final round after firing a 32 on the front nine, but that flirtation w ith knock­ ing off Tiger w as short-lived as D uval's short game collapsed on the back side of the course. It w as sort of like the Jazz m aking a last-ditch effort against Jordan's Bulls, but like Utah, Duval didn't have enough gas in the tank to keep up with Woods w hen it m attered most. Woods took it to anoth­ er level w hen Duval couldn't Thus, Woods cruised to victory w ithout so m uch as breaking a sweat. It w asn't as dom inating as the perform ­ ance he gave at the U.S. Open, w here he defeated the field by 15 strokes and shat­ tered every O pen record there was, but there w asn't m uch more Woods could do to prove his dom inance over the sport. Put simply, all the other golfers now know if they w ant to win a tournam ent, they should think about starting a tour w ithout Tiger. The persona speaks volumes However, dom inance alone w as never w hat defined Jordan. The persona and air about him was w h at m ade him the legend that he became. A nd Woods possesses that. * In a sport that is commonly thought of as boring to watch, there are millions tun­ ing in to see w hat he does. Never before has the interest in golf been so high, and to say that isn't because of W oods w ould be foolish. Even in Britain, W oods' popularity appeared to run deep as seemingly thousands of fans raced around the course just to catch a glimpse of the superstar. People w ant to see the air of confidence that he carries to each and every hole. If s som ething you can only see in his eyes. Besides that, he also has that m ar­ ketable persona that Jordan had, if not more so because of his ability to w ear an entire line of clothing rather than a uni­ form. But all of these points are just scratch­ ing the surface with Tiger Woods. The scariest thing of all is that at age 24, Woods has w on four majors to take the G rand Slam. Jordan was 27 before he w on his first ring. Thus, Woods m ay very well be an ath­ lete the likes of which have never been seen before. T he Da m T exan S ports THE 2 0 0 0 BRITISH OPEN SIMPLY GRAND Monday July 24, 2000 Tiger Woods tees off on the 18th green Sunday with a mass of fans looking on. Woods became the youngest golfer to win a career grand slam with the best score ever at St. Andrews. Woods fires 19-under to claim career Grand Slam By The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Five hundred years of legend and lore hardly prepared golf's hallowed home for Tiger Woods. On the same linksland that Old Tom Morris nurtured and Jack Nicklaus conquered, along came a 24-year-old with a keen eye for history. Woods not only became the youngest player to win the career Grand Slam, he completed it faster than any of the four greats who did it before him. The final piece came Sunday, when Woods held the silver claret jug under the cool, gray skies of St. Andrews after another record-breaking perform­ ance to win the British Open. "It's the ultimate," Woods said. "This is the home of golf. This is where you always want to win. To have a chance to complete the slam at St. Andrews is pretty special. I was able to bring it home." He brought it home in style. Challenged briefly by David Duval, Woods pulled away for an eight-stroke victory. It wasn't auite as overwhelming as his 15-stroke victory in ie U.S. Open last month, but it was the largest in 87 years of golf's oldest championship. Perhaps Tom Watson, the only man to win a British Open at five courses but never at St. Andrews, summed it up best. "He is something supernatural," Watson said. "He has raised the bar to a level that only he can jump." Hundreds of danng fans tried to leap over the bum on the 18th fairway to watch Woods finish oft his latest masterpiece. He didn't disappoint them, making a par on the final hole for a 69 that set another benchmark for years to come. He finished at 19-under 269, thg lowest score in relation to par ever at a major championship and the best score ever at St. Andrews. Asked if he is good as he can get, Wixxis said: "No, no, no, no. Definitely not." He became the first player to win all four majors since Jack Nicklaus' victory in the 1966 British Open at age 26. Having won three of the last four majors, Woods seems to be racing toward the record that matters the most — the 18 majors Nicklaus won in a career that remains the standard. For now. "He is the chosen one. He's the best player who has played the game right now," said Mark Sm WOODS, Page 8 Associated P re ss The PGA’s FAB m m : Only five golfers have won career grand slams, which consists of winning the Masters.

Armstrong has a habit of making the impossible look easy, whether conquer­ ing cancer or winning one of the world's most grueling sporting events for the sec­ ond straight year. Because of his insurmountable lead in Sunday's final stage of the Tour de France, riders joked and clowned with the 28-year-old Texan as they coasted past the famous sites of Paris and throngs of spectators. Shortly after die cyclists took off from the Eiffel Tower, Armstrong donned a long-haired wig. As he passed the Louvre Museum, he grabbed a pocket camera and took snapshots of the flag-waving Americans shooting pictures of him. He even was passed a glass of local bubbly and made a toast as he pedaled, even though he'd earlier declared he wasn't "a champagne kind of guy." Indeed, he didn't look much like a guy who'd just cycled 2,250 miles for three weeks. "It was a hard Tour de prance and, like last year, I'm glad it's finished and I can see more of these guys," he said from the winner's podium, his wife Kristin at his side and 9-month-old son Luke cradled in his arms. Somewhere in the crowd, too, were entertainers Robin Williams and Sean Penn, just a few of the thousands of Americans who helped fill the crowds lining the Champs-Elysees where Sunday's race concluded with a dozen sharp-turned circuits in front of the Arc de Triomphe. Stefano Zanini of Italy won the final mad sprint finish, and declared, "I'm too happy." But most spectators were watching Armstrong as he proudly held his young son above his head, tears welling in his eyes. "This one's even more special than last year, partly because of this little guy,' See ARMSTRONG, Page 8 Lance Armstrong holds up a glass of champagne after his victory. Associated Press Johnson, < By The Associated Press SACRAMENTO,. Calif. — In the most anticipated showdown in track and field in three years, Michael Johnson and Maurice Greene both pulled up lame in the final of the 200 meters at die US. Olympic trials Sunday. The hugely hyped meeting was held twice because both were in the same semifinal heat then came bade less than two hours later in the finaL Going into the race, Johnson was nursing a tender right quadri­ ceps, but it was his left quadnceps that forced him to quit about 80 meters into the race. It was evident that when Johnson came out of the blocks, he wasn't healthy. He started much slower than usual began slowing even more at 50 meters, then struggled another 20 to 30 meters before crumpling to the track. He was removed from the track on a cart. Greene began limping with about 100 meters left, grabbed for the back of his left leg, started to slow further and stopped shortly after. He then walked toward the fin­ ish line, and had his left hamstring wrapped in ice. The injuries to Johnson and Greene means neither will run die 200 at the Sydney Olympics. Johnson, however has qualified for the 400 and will run the 1,600 relay, if he recovers. Greene will be in the 100 and 400 relay, also if he is healthy.

The Reds captain rejected a trade to the New York Mets, who dropped their efforts to get the All-Star on Sunday. He then signed with the Reds late Sunday night. shortstop "Yeah, I'm disappointed," said Mets general manager Steve Phillips. "But at this point, we've got to move forward." Larkin wanted a multi-year deal before he would leave the only team he has played for in his 15-year career, The Mets were interested in him only as a fill-in this season for shortstop Rey Ordonez, out with a broken arm. Larkin's decision leaves him right where he was a week ago: headed for free agency after the season unless the Reds improve their contract offer. easy "It w asn't simply because it's been emotional," Larkin said Sunday morning. "The reality of the Reds trying to trade me is not easy. Still, the reality is that I w on't be here next year. "New York is a place I'd like to spend some time and a place where my family would be com­ fortable, but under the right cir­ cumstances." Larkin is the second All-Star player to block a deal to the Mets since the end of last season. Ken Griffey, Jr. blocked a deal last December, saying he only want­ ed to play for his hometown Reds. United States falters again at Cup qualifier ■ SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The United States had yet anoth­ er tough time in Costa Rica, los­ ing a World Cup qualifier 2-1 Sunday on a disputed penalty kick in the 89th minute. The decisive play came when Gregg Berhalter was called for using his hands inside the penal­ ty box, a ruling contested by the Americans. Hernán Medford beat goal­ keeper Kasey Keller with the the game penalty kick and ended shortly after that with the U.S. players shouting at the ref­ eree. The United States has not won in six attempts in Costa Rica, which handed the Americans their only two losses during qualifying for the 1998 World Cup. Two games into the semifinal round of qualifying for the 2002 World Cup, the United States is last in its four-team group. It tied Guatemala 1-1 a week ago. Playing in a difficult venue in which fans are yards from the field, the U nited States fell behind Costa Rica in the ninth m inute on a goal by Rolando Fonseca. The score came after intercepted a U.S. M edford corner kick and passed to Fonseca. The United States came back in the second half, with Eamie Stewart scoring in the 65th minute on a pass from Ante Razov. three The win gave Costa Rica a m uch-needed points. Costa Rica qualified for the 1990 World Cup but has not returned since. It was upset 2-1 at Barbados a week ago, a decision that did not sit well at home. Guatemala leads the regional group, w ith Costa Rica and Barbados sharing second and the United States fourth. Each team plays each other home and away. A team must finish first or second to advance to the final qualifying round. After two games in Central America, the United States will play Barbados on Aug. 16 in Foxboro, Mass. Three Reds and Fisk enshrined at Hall of Fame ■ COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — And this one belongs to the Reds. The Big Red Machine's pres­ ence in Cooperstown got a lot bigger on Sunday when Tony Perez and Sparky Anderson were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame alongside World Series nemesis Carlton Fisk. "There seem to be a lot of guys up here that I played against in '75," said Fisk, who hit a game- w inning hom er the 12th inning of Game 6 only to see Perez homer in Game 7 to deliv­ er the Series to the Reds. in "As happy as I was in the sixth game, I was happy for him (Perez) in the seventh game," Fisk said after the ceremony. "But 1 don't think I was too happy back in 1975." Reds announcer Marty Brennaman was enshrined in the broadcaster's wing on Sunday, commemorating a 26-year career in which celebrated he Cincinnati victories by proclaim­ ing, "And this one belongs to the Reds." — Compiled frorrrstaff and Associated Press reports In Her Webb Australian wins U.S. Womens Open By The Associated Press GÚRNEE, Dl. — Karrie Webb had no idea when she teed off Sunday how hard it would be to claim the U.S. Women's Open trophy sitting not 10 feet away. She dunked a tee shot in the water and blew a four-stroke lead before collecting herself, playing the back nine with a steely resolve that buried her challengers and gave her the tro­ phy she's wanted so badly. After birdieing the 18th hole, Webb hugged Meg Mallon, her play­ ing partner and Evan Minster, her caddie. She finished at 6-under 282, five strokes ahead of everyone else. The world's No. 1 golfer has won three of the last four major champi­ onships. She won the du Maurier Classic last year and the Nabisco Championship earlier this season, the LPGA and needs only the Championship career Grand Slam. to complete It seemed only fitting that Webb won this weekend. Just as Tiger Woods has dominated the PGA Tour Webb has been his equal on the LPGA Tour winning 21 times in 4 1/2 years. On Sunday, just about 20 minutes before she teed off, Woods completed his career Grand Slam with a record-setting victory at the British Open. "You kind of feel like there's a sense of fate in it all," said Cristie Kerr, who finished tied with Mallon for second at 1-under 287. "When people tee it up with Tiger, they're playing for second. When Karrie plays well, we kind of all feel like that." Even when Webb doesn't play her best, she makes it very, very hard to beat her. She won by five strokes despite shooting a l-over-par-73, her worst score of the week. She looked so vulnerable after her tee shot on the par-3 7th bounced into the water, dropping her into a tie with Mallon who birdied No. 9. But Mallon bogeyed three straight holes on the back nine. Mi Hyun Kim came within a shot, but she, too, fell off. She went into the water on the 16th hole and missed her bogey putt, finishing tied with Rosie Jones at even-par 288. T ike all champions do, Webb recovered and finished strong, mak­ ing birdies on 10 and 18. As she walked up the 18th fairway after putting her ball on the green, she grinned and slapped hands with Minster. Karrie Webb of Australia pumps her fist after dropping a birdie putt on the eighth green. Associated Press Woods becomes youngest golfer to win Grand Slam WOODS, from 7 major championships at the same time. Calcavecchia, who stuck around St. Andrews to watch history in the making. "If Jack was in his prime today, I don't think he could keep up with Tiger." Comparing eras is never easy, but Woods' performance in the majors stands alone. Woods won the British Open by eight strokes over Ernie Els and Thomas Bjom, the largest margin of victory in the British Open since 1913, when J.H. Taylor won by eight strokes over Ted Ray. Woods became only the second British Open champion to win with four rounds in the 60s, and he beat by one stroke the record Nick Faldo 9et at St. Andrews in 1990. "The guy is simply in a different league," Faldo said. Woods also became die first player since Watson in 1982 to win the U.S. and British Opens in the same year, and the first since Niddaus in 1972 to own three Woods now goes the PGA Championship with a chance to join Ben Hogan as the only players to win three majors in one year. to Els also set a record — the first player to finish second in three straight majors. He now has been runner-up to Woods six times, more than any other player. Els shot a 69, while Bjom closed with a 71 to finish at 277. But the real challenge came from Duval, No. 2 in the world ranking behind Woods. It was the first time they were paired together in the final group of a final round — in a major championship, no less. Duval shot a 32 on the front nine, and was only three strokes back until Woods, perhaps sensing history slipping away, poured it on with birdies on three of the next four holes. ' Meanwhile, Duval crumbled. He was playing for second until hitting into the notorious Road Hole bunker on No. 17 and taking four shots to get out. He fin­ ished with a 75. "As good as everything turned on the front nine was as bad as everything turned on the back," Duval said. "He simply didn't make mistakes, and he capitalized on the holes you expect to capitalize o a It was a spectacular per­ formance, to say the least." The other players to win the Grand Slam were Gene Sarazen in 1935, Hogan in 1953, Gary Player in 1965 and Nicklaus in '66 at Muirfield. Nicklaus went on to win the Grand Slam two more times. "They've been the elite players to ever play the game," Woods said. "And to be in the same breath as those guys, it makes it very special." Not only is Woods the youngest player to win all four majors, he did it in only his 93rd sanctioned tournament, compared with 125 for Nicklaus. Victory in France twice as satisfying ARMSTRONG, from 7 Armstrong said. Luke was bom three months after Armstrong's first Tour victory — and just two years after he battled back from cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. Armstrong won praise from his closest chal­ lengers, particularly Germany's top rider Jan Ullrich, who had questioned whether Armstrong really was the best rider in 1999, when Ullrich didn't compete. "Armstrong is a worthy champion. He was the strongest man, and he met our every attack. He earned his victory," said Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997 but has finished second every year since. The festive mood was momentarily jarred when Jeroen Blijlevens of the Netherlands vio­ lently hit American rider Bobby Julich just after crossing the finish line. Blijlevens, who finished 124th in the overall standings, was kicked out of this year's Tour for a "particularly serious attack, according to a statement from the International Cycling Union. It wasn't immediately clear what provoked the altercation. Before the race, Armstrong was already look­ ing ahead to September's Olympics in Sydney, and speculating openly about his prospects of clinching a first gold medal in the time trial com­ petition. He won all three time trials in last year's Tour as well as a time trial Friday, his first stage victory in this year's Tour. "It's special to ride for your country," he said in an interview aboard a special Orient Express train that carried all 128 riders into Paris on Sunday. "Winning gold is a big objective," he said, not­ ing that unlike last year, he was coming away from the Tour in strong mental shape. "I had no motivation to ride again that yeas but today I feel like I'm ready to go for it." His only scheduled appearance Sunday after the race was to attend a benefit for cancer research, a cause he's championed since being diagnosed in 1996 with advanced testicular can­ cer. Given less than a 40 percent chance of sur­ vival, he underwent brain surgery and chemotherapy and had a testicle removed. He resumed professional competition in 19% but skipped that year's Tour which nearly fell apart over revelations that many top cyclists were using banned performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong himself was accused of using illegal drugs in 1999, an allegation traced to his use of a steroid-based skin cream for saddle sores. No such allegations surfaced this year, a factor Armstrong credited with making the competition less stressful even though it was physically more demanding, with four grueling stages through the Alps and Pyrenees. As 2000 winner, Armstrong takes away $315,000, phis $7,200 for his stage win, and a range erf bonuses for racking up points in other aspects of the Tour.

Rem em ber, w e’re on your sid e. Rave d umentary opens up anoth world Live a t th e G reek Flying YeHow Shrieking Things We don’t know what Pokemon means, how it brainwashes the dio albums, with die Black Crowes hit "Shake Your Money Maker," B.B. King's "Woke Up This Morning" and a few other covers thrown in for good measure. The first track, "Celebration Day," gets off on the right foot. Much more strong and crisp than the version on Led Zeppelin III, Robinson immediately gives the secret away that Robert Plant heavily influenced him. While the album hits the ground run­ ning with the first track, it only gets better with each track. Very strong versions of "Custard Pie" and "Sick Again" follow, along with a bril­ liant gem, "What Is And What Should Never Be." The classic is given even more energy than the original while smoothing out all the bumps on the way. Other impressive selections include "Hey Hey What Can I Say" and "Your Time Is Gonna Come." The only low point, if it can be called such, is the final cut on the second disc, "Whole Lotta Love." While it is a great performance in its own right, it lacks the bite that the rest of the songs have. All in all, this is one of those rare albums with the power to please many discrimi­ nating listeners. The album is distinctively Black Crowes enough to attract those who are not fans of Led Zeppelin. However, it also may be the best live recording of Led Zeppelin you will find, even though it is not really Led Zeppelin. The bottom line is this: Live at the Greek is an incredible display of the talents of both Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes. . By: Jimmy Page & The Black Crosses Label: TVT Records By Christopher Ruth Daily Texan Staff The long-awaited Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes Live at the Greek collaboration has finally arrived. Until now, much to the chagrin of both music buyers and retail record stores, Live at the Greek was only available online. However, it appears that the double-album was worth the wait. I know what you are thinking, Jimmy Page? With the Black Crowes? Actually, TTie Black Crowes and Led Zeppelin may be a lot more similar than you think. And at times Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson sounds strikingly similar to Robert Plant. The sound achieved by combining these two distinct bands is just what they were after. The result is essentially the trademark Jimmy Page guitar-work blended seam­ lessly into the surrounding Crowes band. In fact, it sounds as if Jimmy and the Crowes have been playing together for years. Most of the 110 minutes are various selections from the nine Led Zeppelin stu- Busta Battles For Rap On ‘Anarchy’ make it one of the more interesting songs on the album. O ther select guest appearances com e from DM X and Jay- Z on "W hy We D ie" and W u-Tang's G h ostface K illah and R aekw on on "T he H eist." Busta breaks new ground on "H ow M uch We Grow," in w hich we see every rapper has a soft side, but -many will be w ondering w hat he w as think­ ing on the "H ard Knock Li£e"-rip-off "G et O ut," w hich features a m elody of kids singing the chorus. Anarchy is another solid set from B u s-A -B u s. W hile it's hard er and harder for Busta to keep outdoing him self with another ground-breaking album , Anarchy is still satisfying for all those who w ant more than the Benz- rolling, crim e-m ak ing and iced -out rap p ers that d om inate th e ch arts today.

Though Reiss admits he never would’ve made Better tying Through Circuitry had It not been for McNelis, they are now planning possible sequels. M l Producer Brian M cN elis, head of Cleopatra Records in San Francisco was initially the driving force for creating the film. "Jon real­ ly cam e in w ith the interest of docum enting a subculture and becam e enthralled and very interested in the subculture after an event that I took him to in M iami. "T o g eth er we [R eiss and M cN elis] had a shared fascin ation w ith this phen om en o n ." And off the tw o w ent, along w ith fellow producer Stu art Sw ezey, around the cou n ­ try shooting over 200 hours of footage, ev en tu ally to be condensed into an 85- m inute film . The film 's interview s w ith artists tend to be rather quick, w ith only a few m inu tes at best of any one DJ or group. Even so, there w ere a num ber of m ajor acts like Sn eaker Pim ps and Fluke w hose interview s only m ade it as far as the cutting-room floor. Even those w ho m ade it into the film so m e­ tim es saw their w ords pared dow n to a few sentences. P sy ch ic T V 's w izen ed , an d ro g y n o u s lead er, G en e sis P -O rrid g e had g one through a three-hour interview w ith the film m akers, spanning his exp erience from the punk scene, psychedelics, acid house and his m u sings on art and life, only to get a few bizarre m inu tes on screen. But in an effort at m aking a m ore w ide ranging look at the scene, the choice was m ade to lim it ind ivid u al m usings to a cer­ tain degree and to take m ore broad strokes in painting this rave picture. "W e tried to cover d ifferent p erso n alities and lim it [the on e-lin ers], but there w ere certain topics that cam e up in the shooting that seem to be relevant across the b o ard ," Reiss said. As for the influ ences for the film , Reiss and M cN elis seem ed to be approaching their su bject not purely from the m usical point of view, w hich has been covered w ith m any o f th e sam e a rtists in Iara L ee 's M odulations, bu t from the i d e a ^ ^ ^ of creating a h istorical and so cio lo gical d oc­ u m entation of a su bcu lture m ore akin to the sem in a l pu nk scen e d o cu m en tary , The D eclin e o f W estern C ivilization. "W h at I found w as that a lot of the values that I held w ithin the punk rock scene and the people I knew in San Francisco did, w ere held by this scene . . . that kind of sense that th ere's m ore to life than m aking money, and esp ecially that if society isn 't w orking for you, then you go and create your ow n society. "T h ere was this great sense of com m u ni­ ty and openness and also I got this kind of hint of this kind of energy that I only get w h ile m ed itatin g . T here w as so m eth in g about this com bination of m usic, people, lights, w hatever, that w as d oing som ething. it w asn 't It w as m ore about the m usic, about attitu d e." W hatever it w as, M cN elis seem s to have been able to con vince R eiss of the w orth of the scene just by im m ersing him in it for a night. The final product cap tu res that sense of a new culture, brim m ing w ith all the excitem en t of a new w orld (even if it has been going on for a little over a decade now ), and the film m akers hope that this is only the start of a lastin g project. "W e alw ays saw Better Living as being bigger than one film ," M cN elis adm itted. "W e alw ays saw it as the beginning of som ething and not a one shot d eal." The DVD version is already in the w orks, prom ising a few extra pieces of the aban ­ doned footage, as w ell as a few little Easter eggs to play with. For now, the film is continuing to make its way around the country playing a few new cities per week, w hile Reiss has his first fea­ tu re-len g th Second H usband due out in a few m onths.

Anarchy B y Busta Rhymes Label: Flipmode/Elektra By Ira Weldberg Daily Texan Staff On the introduction to Anarchy, Busta Rhymes gives a gloomy outlook of the social disorder and chaos of the millen­ nium. But just like any other Bus-A-Bus album, the tone of the music is far from the ghastly beginning that greets you on the disc. On Anarchy, Busta RTiymes continues to coast the fine line between underground sensation and m ain­ stream superstar, all while continuing to provide his authentic, street-comer hip- nop. A narchy doesn't differ very much from the rest of Busta's catalog, but — as with any of his works — there is always something daring and over-the- edge from rap's most animated enter­ tainer. The album hits its peak with "Fire," another more-beats-per-minute jam that Busta has been quite infamous for in the past. True fans will also take delight in the reunion of rap troupe Flipm ode Squad for "H ere We Go Again." Ruff Ryder super producer Sw izz Beats returns for two jams ("A ll Night," "We Put It Down For Y'all"), but the tightest from Rockwilder on "M ake Noise," with a guest appearance by Lenny Kravitz.
