"The state of Israel has entered a new path, a path of security and true peace," the portly w hite-haired Sharon told cheering, chanting supporters at his cam ­ paign h ead qu arters earlv W ednesday m orning. "I call up on ou r Palestinian neighbors to cast off the path of violence and to retu rn to the path of dialogue and solving the conflicts betw een us by peaceful m eans," he said. "I know peace requires difficult com ­ prom ises — from both sides." Sharon said President Bush had called to congratu­ late him and to urge close cooperation, and also urged Barak to join forces w ith him in a broad-based nation­ al governm ent. W ith 99.9 percent of the vote counted, Sharon had 62.6 percent to 37.2 percent for Barak — a gap of m ore than 25 percentage points. The difference w as even larger than the 19 points that TV exit polls predicted shortly before an em otion-choked Barak conceded defeat. The road w e chose is the one and only true path," Barak said as backers, som e tearv-eyed, slow ly w aved blue-and-w hite Israeli flags.

M em bers of UT Jewish, Israeli and Palestinian student organizations watched as election num bers indicated Sharon w ould be the next Israeli head of state to trv his hand at forging a lasting peace accord between Israel and Palestine. Sharon beat incumbent Ehud Barak w ith 62.6 percent of the vote. "This vote w as m ost definitely not a vote against the peace process," said A dam Levy, a m em ber of the Hillel Jewish Student O rganization and electrical engineering junior.

Galvan says SG lacks respect for board GALVAN, from 1 "I asked him to find any amendment in the his­ tory of Election Code revisions that a decision had been made without the approval of the ESB and he could not produce any such decision," Galvan said. However, Roberts said in the past, the Election Code has been changed w ithout the ESB 's approval. 'If the judicial commission had decided that our decision was unconstitutional, then it would have invalidated all of the Election Code changes that w'ere made by the assembly without the ESB's approval," Roberts said. Roberts said SC has the best interest of students as their priority for the amendment and the resig­ nation won't affect the election. I do not believe the Student Government has the interest of students in mind," Galvan said. The resignation would not affect the flow' of the election and neither party is wrnong said Kevin Rome, SG adviser. I don t think there's a right or w'rong — there's a differing of opinions," Rome said. Rome added that he that despite the SG ruling, the ESB is still in the position to amend the Election Code. I think that that should be a dutv of the ESB however, I also think the ESB and the assembly should be in agreement."

This is a complete regression from m\ peace process that has been worked for." Sharon’s allies said his vietorv mark- a repudia­ tion of the Middle East peace-making deni with the Palestinians signed in Oslo seven years ago, which Sharon has always opposed. Instead, Sharon will form a tougher stance against M.isser Arafat's Palestinian Authority, w'hich rejected Barak's deep territorial concessions and launched a iolent revolt against the 34-year Israeli occupation last September. ^ Mi. Sharon stands tor peace with security" said Zev Shulkin, co-president of Texans for Israel and ¡storv senior. "We look at Mr. Sharon with enthusi­ asm as a leader who has a strong military record but who will work for peace." But C it ment M 1 lenry, professor of government and Middle Eastern studies, said Barak's defeat will make it harder for the United States to help broker a p 'ace deal in the region. "Sharon comes in with terrible baggage," Henrv said. I don t expect there to be an immediate war or anything, but it will certainly be the end of any meaningful peace process." Barak will stay in office until Sharon can form a g Yvemment by the March 30 deadline.

The study, published in Wednesday's Jourtutl o f the National Cancer Institute, concluded cell phone users are no more likely than anyone else to suffer brain or nervous system cancers, leukemia or salivary gland tumors, cancer types that have worried critics. Taken together with two recent, smaller U.S. studies that found no cancer risk, the research should 'minimize the concern and fears that the public has with regard to the use of these phones," he said. Federal health officials insist there's no real evidence that the cell phones used by 97 million Americans cause health hazards beyond car crashes caused by people vakking while driv­ ing. Television getting sexier, programming study finds LOS ANGELES — Sexual content on televi­ sion has risen sharply since 1997, showing up in two of every three programs last season, according to a study released Tuesday. Research conducted for the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation found sexual content in 68 percent of the 1999-2000 shows studied, com­ pared v\ ith 56 percent in 1997-98. Such content includes talk about sex, flirting, kissing, inti­ mate touching and depictions of intercourse. Overall, one of every' 10 programs on TV' is estimated to include a scene in which charac­ ters engage in sex, up from 7 percent, the report said. Fox s Alii/ McBeal and ABC's soap Port Charles were noted as having depicted inter­ course. $1 trillion problem courses under America’s streets WASF1INGTON — Replacing old water and sewer pipes and upgrading aging treatment plants around the country could cost $1 trillion over the next two decades, federal officials say. Lawmakers are trying to get attention for the problem — and a lot more money for upgrades. "There are significant unmet needs that require the federal government's immediate attention," Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, said Tuesday. He introduced legislation to let the government provide more money for waste­ water discharge pipes and treatment facilities. Last year, Congress created a $1.5 billion, two-year grant program to help municipalities deal with part of the infrastructure problem: combined systems that use the same conduits for sewage and rainwater.

MACHETE VICTIM w CDC campaign educate about HI By The Associated Press CHICAGO — A government campaign intended to curb the AIDS epidemic will try' to cut the number of new infec­ tions in half by 2(X15, largely by identifving Americans who carry HIV but do not know it. The effort, announced Tuesday by' the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on the idea that most AIDS infections are spread by outwardly healthy people who do not realize they' have HIV. The agency' believes that if these people knew they were infected, they’ would be mom careful to protect others, and they would also take AIDS drugs that would probably7 make them less likely to transmit the virus. The CDC already spends about $600 million a year on AIDS prevention, mostly to try' to keep uninfected people from catching the virus. Officials said the campaign would cost an additional $300 million annually. The CDC already has $100 million of this and hopes to get funding for the rest. To reduce new infections, the CDC will try to identify many more of the 200,000 to 2/5,000 people who are infect­ ed and do not know it. Currently, about 75,0(40 new HIV infections are diagnosed annually. The CDC hopes to increase that by 30,000 for the next two or three years. By 2005, it hopes that 95 percent of infected Americans will know their status. I he agency' believes that most people who have HIV do not want to infect others, and thev will take precautions if they know they have the virus. One CDC survey found that H) percent of people adopt less nskv sexual behavior during the vear after they learn of their infections, typically using condoms more and having sex less often. As the infection progresses, the amount of virus in peo­ ple s bodies increases, making them more likely to transmit HIV. Drug combinations available over the past five years have made these virus levels plummet, and experts assume this will make infected people much less likely to pass on the virus. Finding infected people as soon as possible is an impor­ tant goal, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "The critical rea­ son for learning early is to treat them as soon as treatment is appropnate," he said. Details of the campaign, called SAFE — for Serostatus Approach to Fighting the Epidemic — were outlined at the Eighth Annual Retrovirus Conference in Chicago. Among the CDC's plans: • Launch a new media campaign, called Know Now, involving radio and bus ads aimed at neighborhoods where HIV is most common. The ads will be tested in Detroit, New Orleans, I louston, Miami and Jackson, Miss. • Work with the Food and Drug Administration to get rapid AIDS tests on the market later this year. These tests use saliva or a drop of blood and give results within 15 minutes. They7 can be used on street comers, in bars or almost anv- where else. • Encourage much more widespread AIDS testing. Make AIDS tests a regular part of all emergency room visits in areas where the virus is common. Encourage routine volun­ tary testing in jails. • Work with the 2,000 doctors who provide most AIDS care to encourage their patients to take precautions against spreading the virus. Such an effort, said Janssen, "could possibly break the back of the epidemic in the United States." Dr. Helene Gayle, the CDC s AIDS chief, said a rough estimate of the entire cost of the campaign is $1 billion. Academic researchers and health departments have looked at what it would realistically take, and that's what it would realistically take," she said. "It's a matter of w hat our society7 is willing to pay for.

Tax reduction talle could Debate weighs law su its, r ights help avert a recession By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — With lay­ off notices mounting and con­ sumer confidence plunging, the promise of President Bush's tax cut may be coming in the nick of time to avert a full-blown reces­ sion, economists said Tuesday. Analysts said the activity sur­ rounding Bush's rollout of his $1.6 tnllion plan and the favor­ able comments tax relief is gen­ erating in Congress should give an immediate, badly needed boost to sagging consumer con­ fidence even before any votes. There is no doubt that the once high-flying economy is in need of a boost. The govern­ ment reported last week that the overall economy had skidded to a barely discernible 1.4 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter last vear. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has warned that growth in the cur­ rent quarter could be "very dose to zero." Consumer confidence has fallen for four straight months, the unemployment rati in January' crept up to a 16- month high and some of America's biggest companies are announcing even more lay­ offs. For January', the number of layoff notices shot up to 142,208, the highest total in the past eight years, Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a private Chicago placement firm that tracks layoff notices, said Tuesday. Wyss said if Bush succeeds in getting his program through Congress bv July, it could help bixist second quarter growth to around 3 percent, double what he expects for the first half of the calendar vear. Bush, who pitched his tax plan as good for small business­ es at a Virginia shopping mall on Tuesday, has said he will seek acceleration to deal with the cur­ rent slowdown. Bush told the shop owners that his tax plan would mean there s more of your own money in your pocket to be able to make sure that youf small business flourishes." Aides to Treasury Secretary Paul O Neill said that one approach the administration was studying to get money into consumers' hands quickly was the feasibility of mailing checks if wi th lump-sum cuts Congress makes retroactive. rebates the In addition to the timing, many analysts said that the size of the first-year relief must be increased for the tax cuts to have the needed impact of pulling the country out of a slump. Allen Sinai, chief economist at Decision Economics in New York, said the first year's cuts should be increased to around $75 billion, far above the $21.7 billion in first-year tax relief that Bush campaigned on. Bush hopes new legislation will limit lawsuits but protect patients. By The Associated Press WAS!

It gives tribute to our founders. It show ­ cases the endurance and beauty of black culture. It promotes a social awareness. And above all it asks all t o " remember. Founded Jan. 16, 1920, on the campus of How’ard University, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. is an organization com m it­ ted to enriching African Americans and in so doing organizes several programs throughout the year geared to that goal. A few programs put on by our chapter the M an About C am pus are Scholarship Pageant, Com m unity Service Week, self-defense programs and forums such as Conspiracy Theory: A Look at Institutionalized Racism and Identity Crisis among A fricans and Celebrate Black History Month Zeta Phi Beta honors its founders and black history with week o f events Union. African Americans. Consequently, the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority invite everyone in the University community to come help us celebrate the strength that is our collec­ tive legacy. Although Founders' Week has already kicked off with a church service, a volunteering project and an interest meeting, the best parts are still to come! A particular highlight of the week is Lyricist Lounge, an innovative pro­ gram examining the content of hip-hop lyrics in an informal brown bag discus­ sion. The event will delve into the to A frican- im portance of m usic American culture and what exactly that music means. Too often people enjoy rhymes and rhythms without a full understanding of its symbols, ramifica­ tions or consciousness. The lyrics of a few contemporary hip-hop songs will be provided and as a foundation for the discussion, the lyrics of early rap and rhythm and blues will also be present­ ed. The discussion will consist of pan­ elists and* a facilitator, all are welcome to come and participate. Bring your opinions, facts and thoughts and join us in our questioning the connotations of the music we all love and enjoy.

The forum , Thursday night the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. will explore beauty — in particular black beauty and its place in mainstream American culture. entitled Conceptions of Beauty, is geared to questioning the notions of beauty and the struggles individuals and black America as a whole face in imitating that thing we all know as beauty. We will also consider w hether the defini­ tion varies from culture to culture or if there is some fixed conception of beau­ ty. The roundtable discussion will also examine the definition of beauty across gender roles. Conceptions of Beauty will take place Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the 40 Acres Room of the Texas A night will also be taken to quietly rem inisce, reassess and reaffirm the rich history of African Am ericans dur­ ing this time of commemoration.

Unwrapping a * finger-sized stick of “Fat in Chocolate” reveals something that will send nougat lovers running: a vein of white fat running down the center of an otherwise normal looking chocolate bar.

As far as Iuesday's article about UT's rape pre­ vention measures goes, I agree that the University im plem ent trying many programs and raise more aware- ness, but the leaders in this movement cannot do that on their own. The statis­ tics are deceiving because they are underreported. One in four women will be raped throughout her lifetime and so will one in 10 men. One in four, people!!! That means out of your mom, your sister, your girlfriend or your daughter, one of them will be raped before she dies. Think about that for a moment. Does this still seem like an issue that will not affect each and every one of you at some point in your life? Start talking about it, but don't call sexual assault " it." Call it sexual assault or rape or harassm ent or w hat­ ever the term is for what happened. Sexual assault is happening, and it is happening to people close to all of you, so get angry. Talk about it, share your stories, listen to your friends and loved ones. Let's make sexual assault a topic that we can all talk about, so we can begin to make some changes in our society. The only way that sexual assault can stop is for men and women to stand together and scream from the rooftops that it will no longer be toler­ ated in our society. Nada Elias Psychology senior Bad journalism description of the defendant, as having a beard and dark eyes. Many Muslim men fit that description. Later, the jour­ nalist writes that he's a U.S. citizen and that s why Osama bin Laden picked him. So are all U.S. M uslims now con­ sidered terrorists? This paragraph is followed by "his co-workers recall his religious devotion." Why does that matter at all? When can praying to God five times a day a sign of terrorism? Not only is this biased, it's bad jour­ nalism. The im plications are not only that he's guilty but being M uslim makes him guilty. Journalism profes­ sors teach us to avoid mentioning the ethnicity of a suspect. Why? Because often these d escrip tions d on't help catch the criminal but they create and reinforce stereotypes. That in turn is later used against people in that group. Think it can't happen? History shows us that it did. Is El-Hage innocent or guilty? I don't know, but that's not for us to decide.

While local concern has increased as California residents have experienced black­ outs and problems with electricity stemming from the state's 1996 deregulation actions, Mayor Kirk Watson and Councilman Daryl Slusher showed confidence that Austin w ouldrt t end up like California. Still, Watson, who spoke along with Slusher during a press conference at Austin Energy s office, said the city should wait to determine w hether deregulation would best serve Austin before making any moves allowing the city's energy outlet to join the competitive market. t Texas currently produces more electricity than California and the Northwest states. Senate Bill 7, ivhich will take effect in Jan. 1, 2002, and will deregulate electric utilities in Texas, releasing privately-owned electric companies from state regulation and open­ ing up industry competition. SB 7, which passed in September 1999 and w'as authored by David Sibley R-Waco, doesn't apply to a municipally-owned utili­ ty, such as Austin Energy or electric cooper­ ative corporatioas unless the city council m andates such. Watson said discussion of deregulation should be postponed until the City Council can observe the success of other Texas cities' attempts at deregulation, adding that once the city chooses to deregulate the electricity industrv in Austin, there is no chance to withdraw. Austin Energy communications director Ld Clark said deregulation is a good concept but has not produced a significant decrease in rates in states where it exists. Unforeseen difficulties arise, which has raised rates," Clark said. Austin Energy currently generates $66 million in revenues for the city. The money goes toward public services. "We can continue to enjoy a low'-cost, reli­ able utility if we maintain our competitive advantage, Watson said. "If we lose our revenues from Austin Energy, w-e will have to raise property taxes 16 cents." With the possibility of deregulation loom­ ing before the council in 2002, Watson addressed the advantages of deregulating Alan K. Davis Daily Texan S taff Mayor Kirk Watson discusses issues related to next year's deregulation of the state electric utili­ ty industry at a press conference Tuesday, reassuring the public that Austin will not face the prob­ lems California has dealt with since the deregulation of its utilities. Watson also cautioned against acting too quickly to deregulate Austin s own municipally-owned electric company, Austin Energy, warning that property taxes would increase. electricity He said retail electric providers would be able to purchase from any electric facility rather than buying from a power exchange and long-term purchase agree­ ments for electricity will be possible. On Thursday, the council will address a resolution that requests certain requirements be met before deregulation is implemented. According to city documents, the pro­ posed resolution is an attempt to assure that residents receive a reliable and efficient serv­ ice while paying a competitive pnce W in O v e r *50 Food Gift C ertificates f r o m T he Daily T exan Use Food Certificates in the Texas Union* • Burger King* (Col. of Business) • Burger King* (Col. of Business) • Texadelphia* (on Guadalupe) • The Bistro • Capitol City • Field of Greens • Java City* (Col. of Bus) Tortilla Flats The Underground Cafe Wendy’s Wrapz W inners Announced Next Week Drop the entry form in the box at: Texas Student Publications - CMC 3.200 the Info Desk in Gregory Gym , or Info Desk in the Student Services Bldg.

The University, which uses 9(X) million gallons of Austin's water Supply a year, also expects to be impacted by the slimming supply. The report, outlining a statewide water planning process, w as submitted to Gov. Rick Perry on Monday in order to provide the Legislature with information on water supply and demand in Texas regions. Perry's office w as unavailable for comment Tuesday Juan Ontiveros, director of the UT Utilities and Energy Management Department, said water isn't an endless commodity and that the shortage could cause the University to take action in conserving water. He added that water is becoming more scarce as urban development obstructs rainwater access to local aquifers like Edwards Aquifer. 'The University is very proactive with water recovery, Ontiveros said. "M ost water comes from aquifers, but if you have roads and parking lots, it doesn't get into the ground. It impacts the aquifer." The University currently renews about 100 mil- lion gallons of the water it uses each year by recov­ ering water from fountains, air conditioners and swimming pools. The recycled water is then used tor cooling tow ers, which generate electricity. According to the report, water dem and for the Lower Colorado Region, which includes Travis County, was about 1 million volum es of water per acre-foot, with supply at about 1.7 million volumes per acre-foot in 2(XX). An acre-foot equals 325,851 gallons, enough to cover about one football field w ith a foot of water. The report projects that bv 2050 dem and will reach about 1.2 million per acre-foot, with the su p ­ ply slipping to .8 million per acre-foot. However, the I \\ DB report states that management strategies can increase supply. Management strategies recommended bv the Lower Colorado Regional Water Planning Group to the TWDB include a $256 million scheme that would increase water supply bv adding four new reservoirs near the Colorado River, while adding a water pipeline and new wells. Low water supplies could have an adverse affect on water quality said Dick Lewis, spokesperson for the Texas N atural Resource Conservation Commission. "A s the volume of water goes dowm, that w'ould allow am contamination to possibly impair the quality of that water in that diminished area," Lewis said. The more water you have, the more diluted [contamination] is. The less w'ater you have, the higher the concentration." The TW DB report began in accordance with a bill introduced by Sen. J.E. Brown, R-Lake Jackson, dur­ ing the / 5th legislative session. Its purpose w'as to find solutions to the water crisis Texas experienced during droughts in the 1990s. Officials focus on improving air quality By Melissa Thrailklll Daily Texan Staff Air quality in Dallas and Houston has been a cause for concern for years, but the problem isn't confined to these cities, state environmental officials told the Senate N atural Resource Committee Tuesday ^ The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission called on the Legislature to work with it to implement policies to keep Texas' air clean. The officials also advised the committee that Austin is close to failing to comply with federal clean air quality standards. Robert Huston, TNRCC chairman, explained to the committee that his agency is working on tech­ nology that would make it easier to monitor ozone levels across the state. We re using the best science w e can get, and that's what we should be after," he said. "We're not making blind decisions now. Can we improve? Yes " Currently, the TNRCC the Environmental Protection Agency's approval for its plan to bring H ouston's ground-level ozone to fed­ eral standards bv 2Ü07. aw aiting is It the LI A, which is a federal agency that moni­ tors states' environmental policies, approves the plan, Houston and eight counties surrounding the °t v would have to lower their speed limits, start construction projects in the afternoon and meet intense vehicle emission tests.

Brown, who is 27-11 in three seasons at Texas, has been a head coach fo r 17 years after entering the collegiate coaching ranks as a student assistant at Florida State m 1973. Quite a bit has changed for Brown since he took his first head coaching job at Tulane in 1985, where he led the Green Wave to a 1-10 season. A native o f Cookeville, Tenn., and ./ third-generation coach, Brown's down-home style and demeanor plays incredibly well with high school coaches, players and parents across the state o f Texas, As a result, Brown has been able to entice most o f the state's top prospects to stay at home instead o f leaving for far­ away big-name schools such as Michigan, Notre Dame and Florida State. In a rare moment o f access during this time o f furious activity fo r Brown, staff writer Travis Richmond caught up with the man often referred to as "February s Coach" for his recruiting prowess to fin d out what makes him so successful at adding top talent to the Texas program. D aily Texan: W hat changes have you m ade in your recruiting technique ov er your years of coaching? M ack Brown: I w ant to know a lot m ore about the person and his family, so w e do a lot more research than we used to. W hen we first got to Tulane, w e'd watch a guy on film and if the ad m issions people said he could com e, he w as pretty and he could run, w e'd take him. There are som e easy guvs, guys who wanted to com e to Texas their whole lite, are 3.5 students, and are really good players. They call us and w ant to come, we look at them, w e meet them, their fam ily's great — that's easy. Then, you get down to some guys at the end.

Secondly, while everyone has Oklahoma pegged to win the Big 12 by a mile, we would really like to see the Horns spoil at least one Sooner national title attempt this year. And with Charla Moore back on the mound and Lindsey Gardner at the plate, hopefully that's not too unrealistic. Hal Mumme and Kentucky: The grass might not be green in Kentucky, but at least the money handed to football players is. While an NCAA investigation has yet to officially announce any illegal actions against the Wildcats, head coach Hal Mumme resigns just as things were heating up. Looks like Tim Couch was making dough long before he headed off to the NFL. DID YOU KNOW It's only been three years since the Texas baseball team posted the most losses in school history, when the Horns went 23-32-1 in Augie Garrido’s second year as skipper. That season UT began with a 3-2 record, a mark better than the 1-4 start the Longhorns are struggling through now. «mm* ¡¿mm ""...... i rirnmwr inTf—i i mu ....... the road again to begin neu>road attitude Texas looking By Jonathan Green Da Texan Staff T \a- has; t won on the road since its final gam of December, but fol­ lowing a h me loss to unranked K in-a- on Saturday, the teams' woes mav onsist >f more than where the Longhorns play.

"I'm talking about their mindset, their determi­ nation, their confidence and all those intangible things." 1 he last time these two teams met came prior to the Longhorns deterio­ rating intangibles, Texas won with its defense. The Aggies' top scorer, Jaynetta Saunders, is averaging 26.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game W anna be a this season but was held to a season- low 12 points in the Ian. 3 loss to Texas. Since that loss to the Longhorns, Saunders has scored 30 or more points five times and has averaged 28.5 points per game from her spot at the post. But Texas has struggled defensive-* lv of late, especially in the low post, the Horns allowed Brooke Reves to punish them for 22 points and 14 boards Saturday, and Colorado cen-. ter lera Bjorkland put up 23 points against the Horns last week. The difference in the Colorado win and the Kansas loss came in the Horns shooting. Thev shot 46 per­ cent against the Buffaloes in a game where JoRuth Woods hit a career- high 11 field goals, but Texas had trouble sinking buckets against the Jayhawks. And Woods backed up her season- best night of 25 points bv going 0-! for-8 from the field against Kansas,' but she said that was not what hurt' Saturday. "I take the losses the same," Woods said. "There's a difference w hy the [Kansas loss] hurts, but; when we lose, it's the same kind of hurt I'm feeling. It's not just because I had one good game then had a hor­ rible game." Woods stayed at the Erw in Center after everyone had left Saturday! night to work on her shooting. "W e're just moving on," Woods said. "I don't think we're going to[ use that [Kansas] loss as anv motiva-1 ti on." she wasn't W hile Woods struggled against Kansas, the only* Longhorn troubled on the court. Texas was led in scoring by M eg Brown's 11 points, and it also got 10 from Stacy Stephens. Brown aver­ ages just 4.3 ppg on thé season, and the usual offensive producers — Dillard, Woods, Tracy Cook and- Kenya Larkin — slipped off against the Jayhawks. "The last 10 games of the season- are real important, and from here oni every game is make or break,'" Woods said. While Texas hasn't won on the. road since a Dec. 28 victory over1 TCU, the team hasn't lost in College Station in three years. "I think we're going to make a turnaround on the road," Dillard said. "This first road game I think will be something different. We're going to have to win, and we're* going to go out and play hard, Because every game from now on ... is a must-win on the road."

It started with a disappointing 1-5 record to open conference play, with the heart-break­ ing crescendo coming in the form of an em barrassing 82-29 blow-out to Texas Tech. But little did they know- that a poor January record w ould be the least of their worries, since w hat followed was the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of It) O klahom a State players, trainers and staff. In rem arkable fashion, how ever, the Cowgirls have show ed resiliency. OSU has won its last three games, including a 69-66 win over then-No. 20 Baylor in their first gam e back following the tragedy. We decided to dedicate that gam e to the 10 people," O klahom a State guard C hantoya H aw kins said. "We said w-e were going to go out there and w ork our hardest and play like it was our last game." A nother challenge aw aits the Cow girls w-hen they face No. 9 Iowa State on Wednesday, but the team 's travel arrange­ ments w ere a difficult decision as we "Some of our girls w eren't ready to get back on an airplane," O klahom a State head coach Dick H alterm an said. "It's still close to the tragedy and it may take som e time." In the m eantim e, charter buses will be used to transport the majority of the team and coaching staff. Streaking Sooners Following a narrow 81-79 loss to Iowa State on Jan. 6, the Oklahoma Sooners have reeled off eight-straight wins against the ranked likes of Texas, Texas Tech and Bavlor. In the 84-66 w in over then-No. 9 Tech, OU never trailed and held Tech to just 37 percent shooting. The victory vaulted the Sooners into top 10 of The Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first tim e in school history, and also prevent­ ed Tech head coach Marsha Sharp from ea rn ­ ing her 450th career win. One week later, OU guard Stacey Dales reached the 1,000- point plateau w ith a 28-point perform ance against A&M. Dales currentlv ranks fifth in the nation in assists and 17th in steals. What frightens other Big 12 coaches is that Dales is only the catalyst for offensive w eapons LaNeisha Caufield and C aton Hill, w ho both average in double figures in scoring by feeding off of Dales' quick passing. Hill, not to be outdone, is the nation's lead er w ith 5.5 per gam e. The steals O klahom a offense is also potent, to say the least, leading the conference with 84.4 points per game. D on't think that a haven can be found in the backyard, though — O klahom a is the only Big 12 team w ith a perfect road record at 4-0. Follow the Bouncing Bears For the Baylor Bears, this season has been a question of streaks. Thirteen-straight wins followed by three-straight losses shook the confidence of a Baylor squad eyeing a high NCAA tournam ent seeding. Back-to-back w ins over No. 21 Texas and No. 7 Iowa State in Waco brought the Bears back into the conference race, and also m arked the first Baylor win over a top-10 team in school history. Two stellar perform - Oklahom a State forward Terrisha Osborn and her Cowgirl tea m m ates have dealt with much adversity this season, yet OSU has m anaged to stay in the thick of the Big 1 2 race. anees by Danielle Crockram — in w hich she averaged 28 points and 16 rebounds — gar­ nered her the Big 12 Player of the Week honor for the second tim e this season. Jessika Stratton earned Big 12 Rookie of the Week with a 13.5 point per game average during the sam e stretch. Keeping in their streaking form, hoi Baylor dropped its next tw o gam es, is ing an em otion-filled 69-66 barnbunn sus O klahom a State It the Bears are y turn things around once again, the' have to do it against No. 12 Texas Tech revenge-m inded Texas team in Austin. Colorado marks turnaround for basketball program HOOPS, from 9 ings all year and is considered a near-lock for an NCAA Tournam ent bid. However, Colorado needs more wins like its 60-57 win at Nebraska last Saturday should it hope to be a part of the Big Dance. Nebraska earlier beat Texas 80-67 on Jan. 13 in Lincoln. "W e've played the top three teams in the conference at home, so our record can be a bit m isleading," Patton said of CU's losses to Kansas, Iowa State and Missouri. We've had good chances in m ost of those games." For the H orns to bounce back from their 82-66 loss at Nebraska, they need to get both the offense and defense to show up on the same night. "W e've gone a week or so where it has been all offense, offense, offense," Barnes said of his team 's recent practices. "W e've gotten better on offense, but we can't let dow n on the defensive end." Barnes knows the im portance of this time of year, even though it is March w hen legends are made. "February leads to March M adness, but it can also lead to taking an early end of March. This is the m onth where you really make or break your season," Barnes said. "For really good players, this is the time of year they step forw ard and make things happen. They understand w hat is at stake." Behind Ontiveros home run, Texas finally wins first game of the season TEXAS, from 9 O n the next pitch, Texas shortstop Frankie Contreras hit a ground ball to James, who hobbled the ball, recovered and then drew first basem an Bobby Alford off the bag with another high throw. The second James error opened the do o r and O ntiveros crossed the plate on Wayne Stone's sacrifice fly to right. for A nderson score, to T‘~“ Texas w ent ^ ‘ after U TSA hurlers A lvarado and Kevin Carrejo, sw inging at and hitting pitches early in the count, col­ lecting eight hits as a team. The reason w e hit the first pitch so m uch is we haven't been very aggres­ sive, G arrido said. "To jum p-start this thing and get them swinging the bat, I w anted them to hit every fastball inside the strike zone the first tim e they got it." Anderson, w ho was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, echoed his skipper's thoughts. Coach G arrido talked to us about real­ ly getting ahead, he said, "and w hen they feed us that first pitch fastball, to really attack it and go after it and be aggressive." France, who was roughed up in the Jan. 30 season opener, relieved McGough to start the seventh and show ed good com ­ m and of his pitches. France surrendered just tw o hits, walking none and whiffing five in three innings of work, earning his first career save. O ntiveros' hom er w as his a Longhorn, tying the junior t Texas all-tim e list. O ntivero sights set on Brooks Kieschnu of 43 longballs — and return clean-up spot in the lineup, started the season.

EEO/M/F/D/V ( UT’s Brown hooks Texas’ preps Associated Press Texas head coach Mack Brown and Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum equally respect each other, but when it com es to recruiting. Brown has been getting more of the prized Texas recruits than his colleague in College Station. I w orry ab ou t the num bers in the end, but I have never been over in August, and that is when it is really im portant. You try to be as honest as you can. Recruiting is m ore interest­ ing in this state because it is so high profile. I here are so manv recruiting services and so m any new spapers that cover recruiting, it keeps you on your toes. I have told our coaches, "If you ever tell a young man som ething, you better n ot mind it being public, because they get eight c a l l s a night asking what a coach just said ." in it's h ealth y You are constantly having to han­ dle rumors, but I also think it keeps you on your toes a lot more because so m any people are w atching. I also this state think becau se people will not cheat. W hen there are this m any people w atching w hat's going on, we are going to go b y the rules, and we feel that helps us by other people going by the rules also. It so m eth in g about us that is negative that's factu ­ al, I can hand le that We ll answ er their question. But if it's som ething that is untrue, and w e get everyone recruiting against Texas, I basically tell people thev are h earin g untruths about us, they better be th o se p eop le concerned because they are liars. so m e b o d y ab o u t savs it I d on 't think w e'v e ever lost a kid w ho was really interested in com ing because of negative recruiting. DT: Do you trv to talk a recruit into com ing to play for you? M B: 1 used try to do that w hen 1 was a real young head coach, or probably an assistant coach. But I've found now that colleg e is really hard, and being at the U niversity ot Texas i s hard. I here i s a trem endous am ount of pressure on a football player here. I his school is reallv dif­ ficult, there's not a p lace to hide stu­ dents at this school, so they go through the sam e classes that every­ this cam p u s goes b od y else on though. And, I feel it's the greatest place in the country to play football, because you get so much attention and you are treated like a king. It is ju st an am azing place. I think as long as the fam ily and the young man understand that, I think it's fine. But if vou talk som e­ one into com ing, w ith the am ount of pressure on them here, I d o n 't think they are going to m ake it. DT: W hen w as the last tim e you talked a recruit into com ing to play for you ? M B : It w as so long ago I don't even rem em ber it. I don t rem em ber w hether he w orked ou t or not, or who he was. I might not have talked him into it, I might have felt like I tried too hard. I d on 't m ean w e don't give them attention and write them notes and give them phone calls and those type of things. P eople are talking all the tim e to our prospects saying w e've got too m any good players and thev're not going to get to play. I have alw ays sim ply said if som ebody thinks you aren't good enough to play for us but they want you, it's really confus- ing. 'You're not good enou gh for Texas, but we want yo u ." It goes back to the negative thing. is W hat we do the honest approach. Everyone in this building is going to tell them the1 sam e thing, becau se that's what w e tell them to do. We tell everyone to be reallv honest. Som e people think it's script­ ed. but you can t script 123 players What do you give to that special someone? RECRUITING, from 9 Ih e closer you get to signing day the m ore things are out o f you r con­ trol, because you are d ealing with a fam ily and a young m an who has never m ade a decision like this. H e's got a deadline, and he feels som e am o u n t of pressure because of this deadline, so you're trying to m ake sure the.nu m bers fit. A nd you d on't have any idea what any of them are going to do. 1 spoke with [form er M ichigan coach ] Bo Sch e m b ech le r in 1992 w h en he was doing the color [com ­ m entary] on our Georgia Tech ball- gam e. I said, "H ow do you really d ecid e?' Coach Schem bechler said w hen it gets right dow n to the end, assistant coaches m ay com e and go, but you are going to be there as the head coach, so you sit and talk to the young m an and his family, and if you d o n 't like him, he probably isn't going to like you. H e's goin g to feel that, and he w on't play hard in the fourth quarter, he w o n 't act right all the time. It he is sitting there looking all ov er the place and he w o n 't focus on w hat you are saying, h e's not the type of guy you w an t in you r pro­ gram . T hat is what I'v e tried to do. We do ev erything w e can. We have the adm issions office and aca­ d em ic staff evaluate the transcript, w e have our coaches meet the fam i- 1\ and talk to the high school coach. We w atch the film, and we rate every player individually and put it d ow n on paper. Then, if he com es here and they say, "I d o n 't like h im /' 1 can say, "Well, you did. D on 't tell m e you d on't like him , m ake him a p layer." Then in the end, the final decision com es dow n to w h eth er the players like him and w hether I like him . D T: Can you exp lain the final m eeting with a recruit on his official visit? M B : I usually try to get the fam ­ ily here, along w ith the assistant coach that's recruiting him. W hat we d o is basicallv a s k them about the w eekend "W h at did you like? Do you have areas o f concern? Tell me w hat you like, and tell me w hy you like Texas. D id n't you like it? Tell me why. 1 hen, at the end, 1 w ould basi­ cally say, " I ell me w here we are in the recruiting process." We are very, verv direct and honest. We have a p lay ers p an el that m eets w ith the prospects and their parents privately. W e're not in there, and they can ask any question about our program they w ant. T h is has been really successful for us, becau se they can tell anything they w ant to They're not handpicked, it's guys w ho w ant to do it I've told young guys, "You aren't a great player, vou re a good player. It you 're going to com e to school here, you 're going to h av e to w ork hard to m ake it. You m av never start, but the U niversity o f Texas, we feel like you w ill have a chance to start, but it is not goin g to be easy for y o u ." if you w ant to be at We'll tell other guys, "Academically, you are a guy who hasn't prepared your­ self as well. You are right on that border­ line. If you come here, you're going to have to work academically, and you need to understand that. Them is some risk here.' We're as honest as we can pos­ sibly be with every one of them. DT: It everything fits, is this m eet­ ing w hen a player often com m its to com e to Texas? M B : I would never take a com ­ m itm ent from a young guv w ithout his parents. It the parents are here, and the young man and the parents decide they w ant to com e, and we have alreadv decided and told them w e w ant them to com e, we w ould take the com m itm ent. We try to call the h igh school coach im m ediately, becau se w e'v e gone through him, he know s they you ng guy is here, and w e'v e told him w e're going to offer. We try to get all that covered before this m eet­ ing. DT: A fter all these years, do you still like the process? M B: Yes, I really do. 1 d o n 't think you v ill ever like negative recruiting, and that is part of it. You saw it in the presidential cam paign at the end.

Texas A&M topples Baylor By The Associated Press C O L L EG E STATION — Freshm an N ick A nderson entered Tuesday's g am e ag ainst B aylor expecting to win — som ething the team hadn't d one in the past nine games. A n derson fu lfilled his ow n expectations, scoring 14 points to lead Texas A& M to a 73-69 victory over Baylor. Texas A&M (7-15, 1-9 Big 12) sh o t 4/ p ercent for the second straigh t gam e to w in its first Big 12 gam e, ending a n in e-g am e skid. Baylor (14-6, 3-6) started the sea­ son 12-0 has now lost five o f their last six. Less than 24-hours before tipoff, A nderson said the B aylor gam e w as the first time in conference play that he was expecting to win. and a staff of 4 /. We want everyone to understand what we do. We want the players to know they have to go to class and they have to go to study hall and that Je ff M adden is going to work them really hard. We tell them that, so they know. them We d on't like any surprises, so we w ant to know ev ery th in g before they get here. The ones that we m iss on are usually the ones who didn't like that environm ent. DT: Have you ever been caught off-gu ard by a question from a recruit or a parent? M B: If they did, I would say I don't have that answ er right now, that is som eone else's area, and if he is here today, I will get it for you before you leave or I will have one of our co ach es call you w ith that answer. I learned a long time ago never go give an sw er unless you have researched it, unless you know the truth. If you give a w rong answ er and m ake them think it is right, and then you go back, you hav en't told the truth. I'm old enough now I know I d on't have all the answ ers. If they ask me one I can 't answ er I'll say I d o n 't know, but I'll find out. And I d o n 't have any problem doing that. DT: W hat is the m ain thing you want a recruit to rem em ber from a visit to the University? MB: The m ost im portant thing is "I feel com fortable, and that it's a place, because I feel com fortable, that I can reach the goals I have had throughout my life." DT: W hat contributes m ost to cre­ ating that feeling? M B: The staff, not only the foot­ ball bu t also the support staff, and our players. And, to our degree, our faculty, because a lot of tim es the fac­ ulty w ill m eet with the young p er­ son, and obviously, our coach m ight take the person up there but he w ould n't sit there while the faculty was m eeting w ith him. But more than anything else, if they feel it is the family atm osphere they have in their present situation. As tough as the transition to college is anyway, if they feel like there are some people here that they are like it makes the transition so much easier. W hat we try to do is bring in p eo­ ple lik e we have. O u r assistan t coaches try to get a fit out there that fits ou r student body and our cu r­ rent team, w here they w on't be in shock if they get here.
