NO. 113 Council kills fall break proposal Faculty Council votes down SG plan for two-day break; members hear Faulkner’s form al apology for incident By Ryan D. Pittman Daily Texan Staff The UT Faculty Council voted dow n a proposal Monday tbvit w ould have given students a two-day break in the fall semester. The council also heard a for­ mal apology from UT President Larry Faulkner for the injury of a professor d u ring a protest on cam pus last month. The defeat of the fall break proposal ended a yearlong campaign by student representatives to gain a respite from classes in the m iddle of the 16-week fall semester. It s d isa p p o in tin g /' said S tudent G overnm ent President Daron Roberts, w ho m ade a cam paign prom ­ ise last spring to get students a fall break. "I'm unsure w hether the Faculty Council m em bers see the full range of benefits that a fall break offers." About two—thirds of the Faculty Council m em bers voted against the tw o-day break, w ith opponents saying it w ould further fragment the fall semester. There is no academic driver behind having a fall break, said M aty Ann Rankin, dean of the College of N atural Sciences. "Are we doing a fall break for aca­ demic reasons, or are we doing it because it sounds like fun. I m afraid I can't justify having a fall break because of academic reasons." The fall break plan w ould have moved the start of fall classes ahead two days and given students a break on the second M onday and Tuesday of October. If the coun­ cil had passed the proposal, final approval w ould have been required by UT President Larry Faulkner. Rankin and several professors in the College of N atural Sciences said a two—day break would have made it difficult, if not impossible, tc which typically require the weekt luU sconce Ub i >r j: ion. > During the debate, Roberts proposed that, instead of a tw o-day break in the m iddle of the fall semester, stu­ dents could get a w eeklong break during Thanksgiving by starting two days earlier and holding classes on Labor Day. The Faculty Council voted unanim ously against his proposal. In other m eeting action, Sheldon E kland-O lson, executive vice president and provost, read a statem ent from Faulkner about the UT adm inistration 's handling of the Justice For All an ti-abortion exhibit and su r­ rounding protest last month. Faulkner w as unavailable to attend the m eeting. The Faculty Council asked Faulkner to form ally com m ent on the controversy at its Feb. 19 meeting. Faulkner personally apologized to Mia Carter, inter- ’m director of the A sian-A m erican Studies program , or the injuries she suffered d u rin g a "scuffle" with officers of the UT of the exhibit. :e D epartm ent d u rin g a protest 1 am personally sorry that m atters evolved as they did and that Professor Carter, or anvone else, suffered injury’ of any kind,' Faulkner said. H e also announced the form ation of a special com m it­ tee to consider the student—related policies bearing on questions raised by last m onth s controversy." The council also approved a resolution urging the adm inistration to investigate claims that the UTPD sin­ gled out Carter, who is African-American, at the dem on­ stration because of her race. The Faculty Council tabled until it s April m eeting a proposal for more student involvem ent in the hiring of faculty. The council did so because several mem bers of the council left the meeting earlv, and a quorum was not present to vote on the plan. 2000 CENSUS or the record SG president stands by $15,000 cost of elections Roberts says chance to vote crucial despite low turnout By Melissa Drosjack Daily Texan Staff Despite only 9.05 percent of the student body voting in the Student Government general elections, SG r e p r e s e n t a ­ t i v e s defend the $1 5,000 election price tag. SG President Daron Roberts said an election is neces­ sary even if a small num ber of stud*, nt- particmat because those students should have their voices heard. "The cost of running an election is a substantial amount, and our decision to spend the money that's required to run the election is independent of how many students vote," Roberts said. " It would be a disservice for us not to provide an election and not allow roughly 5,000 people to vote their Student Government representatives." ELECTION SPENDING for Crissy Perez, SG internal financial director, said a tem­ porary agency is used to pro­ vide poll workers at a rate of $11.31 per hour, which is the costliest expense of the election process. Students are not used as workers "to ensure the integri­ ty' of the elections are upheld," said Perez, a Plan 11/ business honors senior. Twenty-five percent — near­ ly 11,000 of 43,(XX) — of A&M students voted last spring, and 14,(XX) students are expected to vote in next week's $10,(XX) A&M election, said Erika Prochaska, A&M election com­ missioner. Just more than 4,200 of 46,610 students voted in this spring's UT general election. Current figures on UT elec­ tion expenses weren't avail­ able, but thev will probably exceed last spring's ©(penses, said Annie Llderbroom, SG financial ad\ iser. Last spring U T general elec­ tions cost $8,839.16, with four groups — SG, Texas Student Publications, Texas Union and University Co-Op — each paving $2,209.70 to cover costs for those running for positions in the respective organizations, Here is a break­ down of the amounts spent by EMERGE and RIGHT during the SG elec­ tions.

Austin had the highest growth percentage of the 10 most populated Texas cities at 41 percent T e x a s ' p o p u la tio n s u r p a s s e s New York falls and second to C a lifo rn ia , which has a p o p u la tio n of 33.9 mil­ lion. " T h e fig­ ures were higher than expected," said Dean Ferguson, revenue ana­ lyst for the Texas Comptroller's [Texas] Office. "One reason for this is because the count was much better than the one conducted in 1990." Ferguson added that a good Texas economy', a high birth rate and the migration of workers into Texas' high-tech sector has con­ tributed to the growth. Austin had the highest growth percentage ot the 10 most populated Texas cities at 41 percent. Ryan Robertson, a city demographer, said he was surpnsed at how much cen­ tral Texas has grown and diversi­ fied. Robertson said the city is in the process of m apping out Austin areas in terms of whether they have increased or declined in Hispanic population. "What we've found is that tracts along the northeast and tire south­ east have become more Hispanic, and the area inside the urban core has become less Hispanic," he said. See GROWTH, Page 2 1997 survey shows disabled less likely to have health insurance By Sarah Snyder Daily Texan Staff Americans with severe disabili­ ties are less likelv to receive health insurance coverage, according to a Census Bureau report released last week. While 82 percent of 25- to 64- year-olds w ith no d isa b ility receive health coverage, only 48 percent of those in the same age group w ith severe disabilities hav e coverage. The data was collected in 1997 and is not to be confused with Census 2000 information, which will be released over the next three years. I he bureau defines a disabled person as one who has difficulty performing a functional task or daily living activities. If people cannot accomplish the task at all, they' are considered severely' dis­ abled, and if a person can accom­ plish the task partially, he or she is considered non-severely disabled. Eighty percent of non-severely disabled Americans were receiv­ ing coverage in 1997. Sharon Stern, a Census Bureau analyst, said the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act the Bureau to collect data relating dis­ ability statu s'to health insurance and income factors. led "Since the passage of the Americans w ith Disabilities Act in 1990, the Census Bureau has been collecting data that make it possi­ ble to relate disability status to a range of other variables," Stem said in a statement.

"By the grace of God, I have not been execut­ ed and am here today," A dam s told the House Committee on State Affairs. H oping to avoid sim ilar situations, Rep. Harold Dutton Jr., D-Houston, authored House Bill 720, which calls for a two-y'ear m oratorium on executions and w ould create the Texas Capital Punishment Committee. The committee would study the legal repre­ sentation of inmates, the possible innocence of persons convicted in capital cases and the appeals process, Dutton said. "We shouldn't execute people while we're studying the system," he said. "I'm not trying to let anybody escape. I'm trying to fix the sys­ tem." Jim Harrington, a lawyer with the Texas Civil Rights Project, said defense attorneys who fall asleep in court or witnesses who offer faulty testimony have too often sent innocent people to death. "Eyewitness testimony is the most unreliable testimony we have," he said. "We think it's the best, but it's really not."

Cha-Chee Thalken Daily Texan S taff State to get 2 more congressmen GROWTH, from 1 Robertson said analysis of census information will continue to shed light on the changing face of Austin. The last week has been like Christmas — we open up boxes of new information every day," he said. Steve Murdock, a demographer at the Texas State Data Center, said 78 percent of Texas cities witnessed an increase in population. The Texa.v-Mexico border region, the Houston area and the central corridor — the stretch of 1-35 between Dallas and San Antonio — saw the highest population growth in Texas. The Hispanic population in Texas has also signifi­ cantly risen from 4.3 million in 1990 to almost 6.7 mil­ lion, making up 32 percent of Texas' population. "For the first time in history, the largest ethnic group in Houston and Dallas is Hispanic," Murdock said. Sixty percent of the growth in Dallas was from the Hispanic population. Texas legislators will use the data from the census to redraw political districts for state offices, including seats in the Texas House and Senate, the State Board of Education and the U.S. Congress. Texas' population increase will result in two more congressional seats, although which areas will receive the extra represen­ tation is unknown. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund said the high percentage of the Hispanic population could mean more political repre­ sentation for Hispanics. "Larger numbers will translate into more voting power and more Latino political representation," said Nina Perales, a lawyer with MALDEF. "I can confi­ dently say that Latinos will move forward at the local level — City' Council, School Board and the House of Representatives. Everyone is excited." But some experts say, with the exception of the Rio Grande Valley, the Hispanic population is too spread out to make a significant difference. "It won't make much of a difference initially because the population is so sparse, but it could make a difference in the long run," said government profes­ sor Roderick Hart. Although most of Texas experienced population growth, some regions, particularly West Texas and the Panhandle, saw' minimal grow'th and, in some cases, a decline in population. Some demographers attribute this trend to a further shift from rural to urban com­ munities. "The economic trend is moving away from agricul­ ture," said Ferguson. "Agriculture has become more efficient to w'here farms need fewer workers. New generations move off to cities to find careers or an edu­ cation." By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Papa John's savs its pizza is better than Pizza Hut's because it uses superior ingre dients. On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear Pizza Hut's argument that the claim should be considered false advertising. Bill’s backers cite 111. plan PENALTY, from 1 m ust depend on the judge to appoint a defense attorney, he said. However, because defense attorneys in capital punishm ent cases d o n 't earn large sum s of money, Harrington said it's difficult to attract competent attorneys to defend death penalty cases. Furthermore, he said it's difficult to get a judge to allocate money for a thorough investiga­ tion. H arrington added that if the conservative Republican governor of Illinois can call a morato­ rium, then Texas definitely could. ''W hat's there to lose, except that we w on't kill somebody innocent?" he asked. A somber tone quickly turned confrontational when the lone dissenter of the proposed morato­ rium spoke. William Hubbarth, a member of the victim's rights organization called Justice for All, chal­ lenged anyone in the room to prove that the state has executed a single innocent person. He said enough safeguards are in place to ensure due process of the law. "The system works because it's subjected to checks, balances and reviews that are constantly being put in place," he said. Legislation presented this session — such as post-conviction DNA testing, indigent council and limitations on executing the mentally ill — will only add to an already effective system, he said. "The courts are taking into account ever}' change or nuance in capital pimishment," he said. But others testified about their lives being changed at the hands of the state criminal justice system. Kerry Cook lived for more than 20 years on death row for the sexual assault and m urder of a neighbor. Even when DNA evidence on the vic­ tim 's clothing eliminated the possibility of his guilt, he said the state continued its prosecution. "I know we have executed innocent people," he said. "The death penalty is the roll of the dice." About half of disabled not covered HEALTH, from 1 are charged a maximum rate. She added that while program s such as Social Security Insurance assist the disabled who cannot afford insurance, if the recipients make too much income, they can lose the benefit. "It's very m uch an issue," Anderson said. "There are some things going on at the federal level to help give people other options where they can work and keep their benefits." Anderson said parents of children with disabil­ ities face problems finding em ploym ent where they can receive adequate insurance. She added that once parents do find a job, they have little job mobility. Families who have kids with disabilities have a lot of trouble," Anderson said. "Once they work for a company, they get stuck. Unless your employer has a comprehensive insurance plan, you would lose a lot of benefits you would need to survive." Joanne Binette, survey statistician with the H ousing and H ousehold Economic Statistics Division of the Census Bureau, said the data will assist regional focus groups in aiding the disabled by justifying their claims that the disabled need better health coverage. Lee Jones, spokesman for the Texas Department of Insurance, said there are specific guidelines an insurance company m ust follow when approving consumers for their policies. According to the guidelines, insurance compa­ nies can deny service if they can prove the dis­ ability can p u t the consumer at a higher risk for a claim. However, the law states that if the im pairment does not put the consumer at risk of further dis­ ability, insurance companies cannot deny service. If a disabled person feels that he has been unfairly denied insurance, he can file a complaint with the TDI and seek legal action. Jonas Schwartz, m anager of program services for Advocacy Incorporated, a disabilities focus group, said the Bureau's findings correlate with other reports on the ability of the disabled to receive health insurance. "Essentially, in the area of m anaged care, it becomes harder for people with disabilities to get the care they need," Schwartz said. "There are people with disabilities who have trouble getting health insurance." According to a 1995 Census survey, 3.9 million Texans have a disability and 1.9 million of those are considered severe. Papa John’s wins final round in court A&M tops UT in SG election voter turnout The court, without comment, turned down an appeal by Pizza Hut, which won — and then lost — a false-advertising lawsuit against Papa John's. Pizza Hut said it should not have to prove that its rival's ads affected people's choices on what pizza to buy. Papa John's officials expressed relief that the case had concluded. "We obviously feel vindicated in this," said Karen Sherman, spokeswoman for the Louisville-based Para lohn's. rThis b a t - H o * Í q m / p r now. Pizza Hut president Mike Rawlings said, "No advertiser has ever been able to defend a campaign that is deceptive on the basis that the public doesn't care. We are disappointed the court did not seize this opportunity to clarify this matter for the benefit of consumers and responsible advertisers alike." In the appeal acted on Monday, Pizza H ut's lawyers said ads like Papa John's violate federal law even without proof that customers relied on them in deciding what product to buy. COSTS, from 1 Elderbroom said. Expenses include telephones for voting advertis­ ing temporary staff for poll workers, physical plant assistance with tables and chairs, parking for poll workers, postage and other supplies. Also, because SG was the only group to have can­ didates in the runoff election, they paid for all runoff expenses, which were $6,800 last spring and will total about the same this spring Elderbroom said. The funding for runoff elections comes from can­ didate filing fees and the SG general agency fund. When candidates file for a position, they pay $20, which covers some expenses in the election. While both universities have about the same number of voting locations, A&M began online vot­ ing last spring which became an issue on UT ticket platforms this spring. Some tickets included online voting on their plat­ forms, but Roberts said he was concerned about student groups being tempted to compile ID num ­ bers and vote illegally. "Our main concern is that we don't enable large organizations to impact an election through illegal means," Roberts said. "If we can find a way to make it as foolproof as possible, then it would work." A&M SG President Forrest Lane said online vot­ ing has increased voter turnout, with 60 percent of a special referendum vote last month coming from the online voting system that can be accessed through the A&M network. This spring will be the third time A&M will use online voting — the second time for spring SG elec­ tions, Lane said. Lane added that they haven't experienced any problems with online voting. If we get multiple votes from the same person, those votes are thrown out — just like regular vot­ ing" he said.

Congregations have shown little enthusiasm for charitable choice — which President Bush hopes to expand to programs across the federal government — and states have done little to promote it, according to interviews with state welfare offidals, religious leaders and welfare experts.

Bush's health and human services secretary, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, acknowledges the idea has been a tough sell. Only one religious program in Wisconsin has received government money to help aid peo­ ple on w'elfare. "We opened it up and we didn't have as many applications as we thought there wnuld be," Thompson said. "We didn't pursue it any more. We made it available." First adopted in 19% as part of the national overhaul of welfare law, charitable choice was meant to open government programs to reli­ gious groups not traditionally eligible for fund­ ing. Later, Congress extended the concept to fed­ eral drug treatment and community develop­ ment programs. But nearly five years later, the AP survey found 31 states and the District of Columbia have not awarded any government welfare contracts to religious groups that would not have been eligible otherwise. An additional 14 states report sporadic use of charitable choice. Just five states — Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Texas — have embraced it, spending hundreds of thousands or even mil­ lions of dollars. For decades, states have been contracting with secular groups with religious ties, such as Catholic Charities or Lutheran Social Services. Congregations could get government contracts by setting up secular affiliates to run day care, shelters and other programs. This arrangement has allowed both sides to get around concerns about government fund­ ing of religion, and these contracts continue across the country. - - Associated Press Two ladies leave the parking lot of the First New Life Missionary Baptist Church in Phoenix.

Bush: Energy problems severe, no quick solution By The Associated Press By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The nation is facing the most serious energy shortages since the 1970s, the administration said Mondav, and President Bush declared there are "no short-term fixes." Bush gave no recipe for dealing with the immediate power problems in California that threaten to spill into other parts of the country, nor the growing concern about another spike in gasoline prices this summer. Underscoring the wornes, rolling blackouts swept across California on Monday for the first time since January as electricity reserves dwin­ dled. The president, meeting with his energy task force, said demand for energy has outstripped supply and "as a result we re finding in certain parts of the country' that we're short on ener­ gy-" “ O n p fliin o r ic fr>r rwrf ait-» "One thing is for certain, there are no short­ term fixes," he said. "The solution for our ener­ gy shortage requires long-term thinking and a plan that we'll implement that will take time to bring to fruition." He made clear his energy plan, as it contin­ ues to be developed by the task force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, will focus heavily on producing more oil and gas. Earlier in the day, Energy' Secretary Spence Abraham said that failure to address energy supply problems — from too few' pow'er plants to a shortage of oil refineries and too little oil and natural gas drilling — would threaten eco­ nomic prosperity and even the nation's securi­ ty Abraham, while not giving details, indicat­ ed the task force's recommendations will broadly focus on long-term measures increas­ > -i . _ i ing oil, gas and power production, easing reg­ ulatory barriers that have discouraged energy' investment and finding wavs boost construc­ tion of refineries, pipelines and power trans­ mission lines. Abraham and other administration officials acknowledged these approaches will do little to deal w'ith the most immediate energy' prob­ lems. " The president is focused on finding a long­ term solution to our nation's energy prob­ lems," said White House press secretary' Ari Fleischer. "He believes that is the most benefi­ cial step that we can take." While the national focus has been on California s pow er shortages, Abraham acknowledged the problem is much broader as demand for energy' "is rising across the board." . . . 'We are* faced with the most serious energy shortage since the days of oil embargoes and gas lines," he said in a speech to an energy con­ ference sponsored by the U.S. Chamber or Commerce. Abraham said energy' shortages in the West, especially California, may soon hit other regions including parts of the Northeast. Straining oil refineries an- having trouble keep­ ing up with demand for gasoline in the Midwest and a tight natural gas market has caused prices to rise across the country, he noted. Fleischer indicated the administration already has taken whatever actions it intends to take in dealing with California's power problems, citing a recent directive to fast-track consideration of regulations involving power plant construction. Wall Street and Main Street watch for Federal Interest rate decisions By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Dazed investors are hoping that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, w'ho once famously worried about "irrational exuberance," is now concerned about too much pessimism. Wall Street's fervent wish is that the central bank will provide a sizable 0.75 percentage-point cut in interest rates when Fed poli­ cy-makers meet on Tuesday as a way of breathing new life into a moribund economy and halting the steep slide in stock prices. Such a reduction would be the biggest Fed move in a key inter­ est rate in nearly' a decade, since it cut its largely symbolic dis­ count rate by a full percentage point on Dec. 20,1991, as it tried to spur growth after the 1990-91 recession. Many economists believe that strong interest rate relief is need­ ed now, given the huge sell-off that has been occurring on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrial average last week suffered its biggest weekly drop in 11 vears. "The perception is that the sky is falling because of the stock market," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Wells Fargo in Minneapolis. "The stock market is the canary in the coal mine .... If the canary dies, we will have a serious and deep recession." Wall Street staged a slight rebound Monday in anticipation of a big Fed rate cut, with the Dow Jones industrial average rising 135.70 points to close at 9,959.11 as investors took bets on selected stocks. In the view of Sohn and other economists, the Fed will act bold­ ly to send a strong signal that it is ready to do whatever is neces­ sary to get the faltering U.S. economy back on track. The concern is that the weakness in financial markets could trigger a chain reaction in which consumers, who account for two-thirds of total economic activity, will become so fearful that they stop spending and end up spelling an end to the record 10- year long economic expansion. But other economists are not so certain that Greenspan and company will ride to Wall Street's rescue, in part because they believe the Fed does not want to give the perception that it is com­ ing to the aid of w'ealthy inyestors who have taken a hit to their portfolios. These economists note that Greenspan began warning back in December 1996 about the threats posed if investors became over­ rather than focusing on the come by underlying fundamentals that determine a company's value. irrational exuberance Diane Sw'onk, chief economist at Bank One in Chicago, said she was looking for just a half-point cut in rates this week. She said the real economy is already showing signs of rebound even as Wall Street continues to suffer fall-out from the bursting of a spec­ ulative bubble in high-tech stocks. If the Fed did cut rates by three-fourths of a point, it would look like they are pandering to Wall Street and that is not a mes­ sage they w'ant to send," she said. The Fed has already cut its target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loans, by a full percentage point to 5.5 percent, in two half-point moves on Jan. 3 and Jan. 31. The Fed's January rate cuts were taken against the backdrop of an economy that appeared to have hit a brick wall at the end of last year when unusually cold weather and rising energy bills sent consumer spending into a tailspin. However, in the first two months of this year, consumer spend­ ing has rebounded, easing economists' fears of a recession. Some analysts said that the Fed may still cut rates by three- fourths of a point this week, in light of the stock market's troubles and a benign inflation outlook. "The risk of inflation looks pretty small right now while there is still a risk of recession," said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor's. Because of those threats, many analysts believe this week's rate cut, whatever its size, will be followed by further reductions at corning Fed meetings on May 15 and June 27, as the central bank takes out an insurance policy against a downturn.

"Believe me, I don't care," Kassim Sidibe, direc­ tor of Ivory' Coast's AIDS program, said Monday of patent rights. Our concern is what we can do for our peo­ ple, said Sidibe, who runs the national program out of a dusty concrete compound in a working- class Abidjan neighborhood. "The lower the prices are for us, the better for our people." With that attitude, Ivory' Coast has become one of the first African nations to negotiate at-cost deals for leading HIV drugs. And now the coun­ try’ has reached a new deal that is expected to bring down the cost of a month's HTV drug treat­ ment from $410 this year to a range of $88 to $112 next year. Senegal, Rwanda and Uganda announced sim­ ilar deals with drug makers this month. In the West, a month's HIV treatment would cost about $ 1,000 . It's an example of the pressure the West's big drug makers are facing from generics, from AIDS activists — and from Africa. Inspired by Kosovo, rebels claim they are ready for a war SELCE, Macedonia — The guns of Tetovo are so close. Artillery shells from Macedonian forces less than two miles away fall across the steep valley of budding almond trees and yellow primrose. At nightfall, red tracer rounds from heavy machine guns race up from the light of the city. Selce, the main rebel stronghold outside Tetovo, is out of reach of the guns for now. But there is no electricity anymore, and the roads to the city are blocked. The only way into the village of 3,400 is a four-hour hike over hills and through alpine meadows. Through attack and isolation, Macedonian authorities hope to snuff out the insurgents' drive to make ethnic Albanians equal partners with the Slavs, who control the government and the armed forces. But there is no sign of submission by the com­ mander of the rebels in Selce. "We will take this war to all of Macedonia," says Arban Aliu, who oversees one of the rebel compa­ nies among what he claims are more than 2,(XX) arm ed fighters in the area around Tetovo, Macedonia's second-largest dty. For the moment, his confidence has been rein­ forced by the reluctance of the Macedonian forces to move beyond the city limits. The government sent tanks rumbling into Tetovo on Monday and said preparations were under way for a major counteroffensive. But its response to the rebels on the outskirts of the dty has been mainly restricted to six days of artillery barrages of suspeded insurgent positions. False smoke alarm interrupts station crew’s first day CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — On their first day living solo, the three new residents of the interna­ tional space station got a scare Monday when a smoke alarm went off. It turned out to be a false alarm. The Russian commander and his American crewmates were relieved about that, but irritated by an apparently unrelated computer problem that prevented them from quickly pulling up all the precautionary measures on a screen. "That's not a very good situation to be in, is it?" complained astronaut Jim Voss, the flight engi­ neer. The crew's so-called Red Book, an inch-thick volume on emergency' procedures, indudes infor­ mation on dealing with a fire as well as false alarms, said NASA spokesman James Hartsfield. Voss informed Mission Control that he and his crewmates had the Red Book out and were fol­ lowing its guidelines. Space shuttle Discovery had undocked just 10 hours earlier, carrying homeward space station Alpha's first crew. The new three-person crew was winding down at the end of a long day when the smoke alarm went off in the U.S.-built Destiny laboratory'. Zapatista rebels say they will leave Mexico City this week MEXICO CITY — Blaming "caveman politi- dans"for failing to a d quickly on an Indian rights bill or to let them address Congress, the Zapatista rebels announced Monday that they will head back to their jungle strongholds this week. The 24 rebel leaders made a dramatic two-week march through much of the country to rally sup­ port. But their military chief, Subcomandante Marcos, expressed frustration at dealings with some lawmakers. "Faced with politidans, we will never lower our heads or accept humiliations or frauds,"he said at a news conference at the National School of Anthropology and History, where the rebel lead­ ers have been staying. But congressmen from several leading parties have said the bill needs to be modified before going to a vote, perhaps by the end of April. Many also rejeded Marcos' demand that the masked insurgents be allowed to use the congressional podium to address all lawmakers. "The intolerance of the political class is dear,"Marcos said."The caveman politidans think that they can continue to operate with the racist, arrogant and authoritarian positions of the colo­ nial era."

In an incredibly unproductive, almost two-hour-long meeting M onday the Faculty Council m an­ aged to successfully belittle the needs of students. For everyone who complained dunng this recent election season that student governing bodies don't have the power to get things done, you need lex A no further than the multi­ layered L T hierarchy for reasons whv. Two student-initiated proposals that would help improve cam pus life for L T 's vast student population were brought before the Council, but did not pass through. The Cabinet of College Councils proposed increasing student involvement in the hiring process of tenure-track faculty. Student Government proposed a fall break. Fall break was up first. The only real opposition came from the College of Natural Sciences, which complains that this break would complicate the lab schedule. This proposal has already been approved by UT's Calendar Committee, one of the more difficult hoops to jump through, but Faculty Council was not satisfied. It is, of course, nearly impossible to pass meaningful legis­ lation through any governing bodv without hearing an objection. There will always be some entity' that doesn't reap the same benefits as the majority. But a fall break is just a good idea. Sometimes it's all vou can do to make it from that long stretch between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. This pro­ posal would have given students a well-deserved breath of fresh air in the form of a long weekend in October. It would only mean school would start two days earlier — on a M onday as opposed to the current Wednesday start. A lot of thought was put into this proposal by Daron Roberts' SG adm inistration. Lots of other Universities already do this, there is absolutely no reason why we should­ n't. Natural Science's concerns are valid but surely they could have been addressed within the 32-month transition period before implementation. After the fall-break proposal failed by a voice vote, anoth­ er proposal to involve students in the hiring process came up for discussion. The proposal offers four ways to increase stu­ dent involvement. Students could serve as voting members on a hiring committee, non-voting m embers on a hiring com­ mittee, meet with potential candidates or sit in on a sample lecture. The department, along with its college council, would pick one or more of these options for student involve­ ment. Currently some colleges use some of these methods to include student input in the process, but it's generally incon­ sistent, and some colleges don't get any student feedback. Students are the ones w ho will be listening to or sleeping through professor's lectures depending on how well faculty' m em bers are chosen. Students should have some say in this matter. This proposal benefits all students who would prefer an interesting lecture rather than a regularly scheduled nap time. The only real objection from the faculty claimed that stu­ dent input is not of value. But this is not simply a research institution, this is not a think tank. This is a University and the faculty' is here to teach the students. Some members speaking at the meeting did say that in departments that already utilize som e of these methods, students have often noticed things about faculty candidates that faculty on the hinng committee overlooked. Unfortunately this proposal could not even be voted on thiis month because the council lacked a quorum of its m em ­ bers w hen the motion to vote was made, and the meeting ended. It's nice to know our professors care so much about w hat students have to say that they couldn't even stick around for a vote. If you're not going to vote, why hold the discussion in the first place? Now it will be another month, and probably another long discussion, before this motion is considered again. So next time you com plain that nothing gets done, rem em ber it s not entirely the fault of student governing bodies — just consider w'hat they have to work with.

I he faculty position funded by the endowment w ill help the University remain at the cutting edge of emerging trends in convergent media, said Eileen Keller, an Austin Advertising Federation representative. As tar as I know, there are no endowed chairs in new' media," Keller said. "W e need to make sure that there is such an educational structure put into place to prepare students for the future of media." Keller said it has become apparent that the health of the entire industry is dependent upon students' abilities to perform in the ever-changing media environment. A ou can t take billions of dollars and give them to neophytes to spend — it's unethical, she said. "W e need an edu­ cated workforce to act in an ethical manner as we invest our clients dollars in advertising." John Murphy, professor of advertis­ ing, said the endowed chair would have a great impact on the University. I hero has not been enough empha­ sis placed specifically on today's media," M urphy said. "W e have a media studies sequence that could real­ ly benefit from an endowment of this type." M urphy added that his department is always looking to hire faculty who have both academic and private-sector media experience, and the endowed chair could open an attractive position for such a professor. Abel Salazar, a corporate communi­ cations junior who attended the fund­ raiser, said he thinks the University is fortunate to have support from local advertising companies and media lead­ ers like Jennings.

M arch 30th l p j l f 7 The 111ily Committee increases TEXAS Grant program funding By Melissa Thrailkill Daily Texan Staff While m ost students spent m oney last w eek celebrating the break from the spring semester gnnd, the Senate Finance Com m ittee approved a proposal that w ould help them and their families save it. The 13-mem ber com mittee supported a plan by Sen. the Finance R odney Lilis, D—H ouston, and chair of Committee, to quadruple funding for the Toward Excellence, Access and Success Grant Program. Currently the state provides $100 million for the TEXAS G rant Program. U nder Ellis's proposal, funding will grow by $300 million over the next tw o years. Last session, Ellis and Secretary of State H enry Cuellar, then a representative, authored the legislation creating the TEXAS G rant Program, which provides financial assistance for students at public or private colleges and universities. I his is a trem endous victory for Texas families," Ellis said. ''The Senate Finance Com m ittee has sent the message to Texas school children that, if you work hard and follow the rules, you will have the opportunity to go to college." Ellis plan increases funding tor the program $100 million m ore than Gov. Rick Perrv suggested in his budget priorities. In the last tw o years, the program has aw arded 20,(XX.) grants. The increase in funding will provide almost 98,000 students with IEXAS G rants every year. Don Davis, associate director in the Office of Student Financial Services, said the state senate m ade an im portant decision in providing more m oney for higher education. Texas has never been a state to provide significant fund­ ing for grants for higher education," he said. "The TEXAS G rant Program w as a good step in the right direction. TTiis takes a trem endous stride in that direction." Under the* current program, students from households earning $2o,(XX) or less qualify tor the* program. The new plan raises that cap to $75,(XX). I \ h is said this could significantly increase* the* numbe*r of students who receive grants at the University Because* the average student he*re* comes from a w ealthier household than other universities, the* percentage of students receiving I EXAS G rants m ay be* smaller than elsewhere. Davis said this p la n increases the U niversity's "shareof th e the* University receives quadruple's, it w ould rival f ederal I HI Grant funding, which contributes about $13 million to the* L 'niversitv. V\iih Ellis plan, he* added, the* Student Financial Service's C )ffice w ould lx* able* to offer grants rathe*r than |ust loans to students com ing from households that earn m ore than $25,(XX). Because Davis doesn't know how much mcwe fund­ pie, enabling his office* to help a w id e r range of students. ing the* University will n*ce*ive* u nder the new plan, he* said it's It w ould be* a significant factor at this institution in meet- ing students' needs and reducing student loan debt, a critical issue* right now, he said. It makes significant changes in our ability to meet student nee*els in different ways." I lie* I niversity currently receives about $2.5 million in state funding for the TEXAS Grant Program, which it dis­ burses to about 1,5(X) students Davis said that if the funding too early to tell how m any more students could quality' for I EXAS ( , rants. Rhiannon Vassallo, architecture senior, said the* increase* in funding opens college and university* doors to m ore pe*e)ple.

IN FULL BLOOM Private schools may get to play in UIL By The Associated Press AUSTIN — A handful of private schools could participate in University Interscholastic League cham pionships under a bill approved M onday by the Texas Senate. The UIL is the governing body over public school athletic competition and championships. The bill by Sen. Ken Armbrister, D-Victoria, w ould allow participation of private schools with an enrollm ent of 500 stu­ dents or more that meet certain accreditation and academic standards. As passed by the Senate, the bill w ould affect only about five schools that have expressed interest — D a lla s Jesuit» 1 louston Jesuit, St. Agnes and St. Thom as high schixils in Houston and El Paso Cathedral — Arm brister said. Private schools have scheduling problem s that allowing them to participate in UIL contests w ould elim inate, Armbrister said. Dallas Jesuit m ust travel to El Paso to play distnct games, which can be a hardship, he said. Once a year in football might be OK, but once you get into other sports like basketball and baseball, it becomes a prob­ lem," he said. I rivate and public schools already com pete during the reg­ ular season but the gam es don't count in UTL standings, he said. fhe measure has been proposed in years passed but has failed each time. UIL Athletics Director Charles Breithaupt, said the UIL's m em ber public schooLs continue to resist the move. Breithaupt said he can't lobby a position on the bill but he has talked about it with the UTL's m em ber schrxils. Public schools, which m ust serve all students in their dis­ trict, resent the idea of playing schools that can select an exclu­ sive student body, Breithaupt said. "Public schools have a problem putting those* two on the sam e plane," he said. Arm brister said he sought to make participation require­ m ents for public and private schools almost identical. Private schools w ould have to m eet certain academic requirem ents under A rm bnster's bill, such as the public schools no-pass, no-plav rules, and other standards. "I was not going to carry a bill in w hich private schools did not have to go through the same requirem ents as a public schcxil," Arm brister said. "If you w ant to play with the big boys, you've got to be a big boy — or girl." WHOWUNIT? Unless you get FREE tickets at any UTTM outlet this week, it will still be...

S e e p a g e 11 T he Daily T exaY Tuesday March 20, 2001 Spurs continue hot streak against Blazers By The Associated Press Bv The AccnriatoH Procc SAN ANTONIO — As the San Antonio Spurs contin­ ue their March onslaught, the Portland Trail Blazers just keep falling. The Spurs, who are leading the Western Conference, beat Portland 98-85 Mondav night for their 10th win in 11 games. Meanwhile, the Blazers, who led the conference just three weeks ago, dropped to sixth place after losing their fifth of six games. For the Blazers, it was the start of a grueling three- game road trip that continues Tuesday night at Dallas and Thursday night at Utah. We have to fight for our lives and keep our position," said Damon Stoudamire, who had six points for Portland. We can't drop any lower. Things are snow­ balling right now. I know things can change throughout a season, but never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that we would be in the position that we are in right now," he said. "We are in sixth position now, but we'll be in . i , seventh by the end of the week the way we're playing right now." W ith Portland center Arvydas Sabonis out for most of the game after a fall and Scottie Pippen in foul trouble, the Blazers couldn't catch up once the Spurs surged ahead by as many as 17 in the first quarter. Thev never cut the lead to less than nine. It s pretty tough. We just have to continue to fight through it," said Pippen, who had six points, seven assists and seven rebounds. "I really don't have an answer for it. We just need to plav harder — defend, just do the little things and stop teams from dominating. Right now we're not doing that. The first half showed that." Some ot the Blazers defeats have been pinned on Rasheed Wallace, w ho despite leading the team in scor- ing has picked up 37 technical fouls this season, one short of the NBA record he set last year. But on Monday night, Wallace had 20 points and no foul problems. Reserve Steve Smith led Portland with 23 points that included four 3-pointers. It was San Antonio's second victory over the Blazers in 11 da vs. Derek Anderson had 28 points and 10 rebounds, while Tim Duncan had 20 points and tied his career high with 23 rebounds. David Robinson added 15 points. San Antonio took control in the first quarter, going up -4-10 after a 14-0 run, including 3-pointers by Anderson and Terry Porter and a 3-point play bv Samaki Walker, who threw the ball up from under the basket and drew the foul. We are playing very confidently right now," Duncan said. We know what to do and we're doing it." "They're hungry and they see w hat's possible," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Sabonis left the game early in the second quarter with ice on his left ankle after falling while trying to grab a rebound. The 7-foor-3 center, w ho earlier this month \\ as hampered by a sore right foot, scored four points in seven minutes of play. He has been averaging 10.3 points a game.

He pointed to his scores, which were similar to the year before. And more than once, he said that only four w-eeks a year — the majors — really matter. "Win those four weeks, you've had a pretty good year,” he said. The Bay Hill Invitational is hardly a major, but it certainly puts Woods in a good frame of m ind for the first one. With a little bit of luck and an extraor­ dinary am ount of skill, Woods turned potential disaster into birdies on tw o of the to beat Phil Mickelson by one stroke Sunday at Bay Hill for his first victory of the year. three holes last His reaction spoke volum es — a rat-a- tat pum ping of fists, a roar, a hug for his caddie, an enorm ous smile, and w hen he sat dow n in a high-back chair, a heavy sigh. "M ore than anything, it feels good to w in,” Woods said. It came in his seventh tournam ent, the longest he had gone w ithout w inning at the start of a season since it took five events after he turned pro in 1996. His 3-under 69 w on't earn him style points, even though he finished in style. He came w ithin four feet of going out of bounds with his drive on the par-5 16th, then hit /-iron out of the rough and over the w ater for a tw o-putt birdie. Then, he got a good bounce off a specta­ to r's neck to stay in bounds on the 18th, and hit a 5-iron from a hardpan lie into 15 feet for the w inning birdie. "This is w hat you need to have hap­ pen in o rder to w in,” Woods said. Tou're going to have to som ehow grab some great breaks and have luck on your side, Tou can t alw ays play well on Sunday and w in.” The tim ing couldn't be better.

Associated Press Texas loss deplorable Defeat speaks volumes for Longhorn program It w as time for Texas to p ut up or shut up — and the silence was deafening. Except for the choking sound that has become customary- with the Longhorns and the NCAA Tournament. To be honest, it w asn 't all that surprising to those w ho know the Longhorn basketball program best that No. 11 seed Temple m ade No. 6 seed Texas look com pletely overm atched last weekend in New Orleans. The most upsetting thing w as not that Texas lost but that most of the basketball world w as watching. Travis Richmond All year long, the H orns struggled against zone defens­ es, and they finished the season tied for in the Big 12 last with its 41.2 percent field-goal p ercen t­ age. To beat a zone defense, you have to be able to shoot, som ething Texas faile to do the entire season. Daily Texan C o lu m n is t It s unbelievable now that we w on as m any games as w won shooting 40 percent," Texas head coach Rick Barm said. "You go back this year and we have been really, reall lousy when we d id n 't m ake shots." Really, really lousy w ould be an u n d e rsta tem en t t describe how poorly- Texas played against Temple. Anyon v\ ho watched the gam e saw no signs of a team that w on eigh straight in February but instead saw a squad that playei probably its w orst basketball ot the season. I he fact that Temple also elim inated Florida will allov some Texas supporters to reason, "At least we lost to a goo< team," but the truth rem ains that the Owls were a No. 1 seed for a reason. Twelve times this season Temple came uj short in games against team s w ho m anaged to score agains its zone, and even though it m anaged to also beat an over rated Florida team in the second round, the fact is, Texa: underachieved for the third straight year in the NCAA: under Barnes. "You look back, and I don't know that you can define sue cess based on the tournam ent, even though that's the way it': looked at," Barnes said after losing to Temple. "It people judge anyone on that, it's tough."

UCLA could add to school s legacy with win over Duke By The Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. — UCLA isn't inter­ ested in hearing about Duke's tradition. The Bruins have some of their ow n and are eager to remind the Blue Devils of it. With a win over Utah State in the NCAA tournament, UCLA advanced to the round of 16 for the third consecutive year. The Bruins (23-8) earned a date with top-seeded Duke, a team they've grow n w eary of hear­ ing about. "Duke's like any other team to me — they're great, they have a lot of tradition. But you do n't go to UCLA and say, 'I w ant to play Duke really bad,'" guard Earl Watson said. "We re LCLA ... we carry a legacy-," he said. "Not only do we have to face them, but they have to face us. It's going to be a battle. It's going to be a war." Watson has extra incentive against Duke. He last faced the Blue Devils in 1998, when Duke embarrassed UCLA in a 12Ü-84 victo­ ry. Watson had a miserable outing that day with two points, two turnovers, one assist and one rebound in 27 minutes. Duke didn't renew the home-and-home series after that game and Watson wasn't sure if he'd ever get another shot against the Blue Devils. Afterward, he considered going home to Kansas City. Bruins coach Steve Lavin talked him out of it, just as he did on sever­ al other occasions when Watson needed assurance that he belonged at UCLA. Now a senior, Watson couldn't imagine lite w ithout UCLA. He cried after Senior Night and embraced Lavin in a long emo­ tional hug after Saturday's win against Utah State. It s been a long road, one 1 couldn't have m ade w ithout coach, he said "He's always been there for me, like a brother. When 1 wa: dow n and homesick, he talked to me aboul other things and convinced me how silly ii w ould all seem tw o weeks down the road." Lavin chooses his w ords carefully when he remembers those days, his eyes dropping dow n as a wave of emotion hits him. "He w as very introverted w hen he came to UCLA, very quiet and very' shy," Lavin said. H e was very slow to trust people, and I d o n 't know why. " The quantum leaps he has made are real- 1\ special and I ve been reallv blessed to play See UCLA, Page 10 throwing troubles may force him to play left field By The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Chuck Knoblauch walked out of Legends Field on M onday carrying a box of media guides, which he said were for his mother. "Have to scratch off the 2B," he joked. "It's 2B not to be.” Knoblauch's career as a second base­ man may be over. After W'atching him make more wild throw s this spring, the Yankees said M onday they will experiment switching Knoblauch to left field. The form er Gold Glove infielder talked the m atter over with New York manager Joe Torre, w ho said he d id n 't wpmt kf want Knoblauch to think left field was "the penalty box." /ii j '"I w ould say, and he will agree, I've done every- possible thing I can do,” Knoblauch said in a corridor outside the Yankees' clubhouse. "The w ord 'quit' is not in my vocabulary. "It's just not happening now. I've done every possible thing. My team m ates know that. Joe Torre knows that. The coaches know that. And more important, I know that." Knoblauch developed throw ing prob­ lems in 1999, making 26 errors during the regular season. By June 28 last year, he had m ade 15 more, most on throws. . i i t t . . He played second base just 30 times after that, sidelined by arm pain and becom­ ing a designated hitter much of the time w hen he returned. Knoblauch spoke with a psychologist during the offseason and reported to spring training more than a month early, on Jan. 15, trying to rediscover his arm 's accuracy. But he m ade six errors in 14 spring training games, five on throws. "H e needs to be comfortable for me to be comfortable, and w e're not there yet," Torre said. "Nobody has worked harder than he has. There is nothing more he can do at second base that is going to * make him a better second baseman. Maybe getting away- from second base will solve second base." The move, which calls for Alfonso Soriano to take over at second, w on't take place immediately. M onday night's game against Detroit w-as washed out and more rain was forecast for Tuesday, when the Yankees play a Houston split squad.

Texas (16-12, 6-3 Big 12) ended a three- game Tuesday losing streak last week with a 7-4 win over No. 1 Rice, then followed with two wins ox er the Cowboys in Stillwater. L I-Pan American comes into the game with a 3-19 record. The Broncs have not beat­ en the Longhorns since 1968, and Texas leads the all-time series, 23-6. One of three Texas pitchers will get the start: freshman Derick Grigsby (1-0, 6.00 ERA) , freshman Eugene Espineli (1-1, 3.21) or junior Ryan France (1-2, 4.32). UT-Pan American s starter has not been announced. OAT TONA BEACH, Fla. — A student-run newspaper has stepped into the dispute over the release of Dale Earnhardt's autopsy pho­ tos. filing a court motion stating its desire to see the pictures. The G ainesville-based Independent Florida Alligator, which is run bv University of Florida students but isn’t an official uni­ versity publication, filed a motion to inter­ vene in a Daytona Beach court on Friday. Dale Earnhardt was killed in a crash at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18. A settlement between Earnhardt's widow and the Orlando Sentinel and a bill proposed in the state Legislature limiting access and barring publication of the photos is not in the public's best interest, said Alligator Editor Jason BrowTt. It is very' unlikely that we print them, but we d like to decide for ourselves rather than have the courts decide for us” said Brown. 'We'd like the courts to stick by what the law' is." Florida law’ currently doesn't restrict access to autopsy reports or photos. A lawyer for the student newspaper says providing access to the autopsy photos allows others to review’ the medical examin­ ers' findings, or possibly help find a safety device that could have saved Earnhardt's life. "It is not the prurient interest that is driv­ ing this,” Miami-based attorney Tom Julin said. Padres, Henderson agree to 1-year contract worth $250K PEORIA, Ariz. — Rickey Henderson and the San Diego Padres agreed on a one-year deal Monday that w ill pay him $250,000 if he makes the club. Henderson, the career steals leader who is closing in on other marks, was at the Padres' complex, general manager Kevin Towers said. The rest of the team had the day off. "I know there was a Rickey sighting,” Towers said. Henderson spent about three hours at the Padres complex, but not before getting lost on his way to Peoria, where he went through spring training with the Padres in 1996 and '97. They done built new freeways,” he said. "I had to flag a guy dowm on the highway and ask him, 'Am I going the right way?' ” Henderson took about 100 swings in the batting cage and ran some sprints in the out­ field. He hadn't taken batting practice off a machine in 2 1 /2 weeks, he said, but has been taking 300 swings a day off a batting tee with the ball on a string. "I'v e always thought spring training was too long as it is. I just need enough to get my timing dowm,” he said. Henderson is closing in on two major records. He is three walks short of breaking Babe Ruth s career record of 2,062 and needs to 68 runs to top Ty Cobb's record of 2,245. He also is 86 hits shy of 3,000.

It’s going to take a lot more than losses in the first round to change the perception that this is a football school. Wins during the regular season over highly-ranked opponents are nice, but they don’t add up to a hill of beans when things matter in March. Head coaches Rick Barnes and to be Jody Conradt want in considered among the nation’s elite, but recent history, they have done nothing to deserve that type of treatment. Here’s hoping that this skid won’t continue again next year. their programs DID YOU KNOW Since the NCAA men’s basketball tournament expanded to 64 teams, Texas has reached the Elite Eight once - in 1990, when the Longhorns lost to Arkansas, 88-85. Texas went to the Final Four in 1943 and 1947. Barnes fails RICHMOND, from 9 and January. Owens, to his credit, had only March on mind after the loss to Temple. " 1 his is disappointing to me. I want­ ed to win — I wanted it bad," Owens said. "It's frustrating. I wanted to be here winning, and that is what I am thinking about. I wanted to win this tournament, and I could care less about anything else." Even Barnes admitted that he, too, ultimately desires success in March Madness, though his 3-9 career record in the Big Dance is unimpressive, to say the least. i'm more disappointed than any­ one else that w’e didn't get beyond the first round, Barnes said. "I try to ana­ lyze it and talk about it, but nobody can give me the answer. Hell, people ask me for it — I'm talking about other coaches who try to figure it out." Well, since Barnes is searching for reasons why lexas came up short this season, here are a few: in the world — Too much reliance on the three- is point shot. Why Maurice Evans shooting (and missing) three-pointer three-pointer? after Evans is listed at 6-foot 5-inches and 22D lbs. I he guy has a body more like Vince Carter than Reggie Miller, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from the way he plavs. Why hit the weights so hard to develop muscle that you can use to post people up when you continue set­ tle for jump shots? Against Temple, Evans took nine ot his 16 attempts from behind the three-point line and scored zero points posting up his man. Not exactly the type of performance that earns one all-conference recogni­ tion, something Evans said more Texas players deserved after their 23-6 regu­ lar season. — Darren Kelly playing like Reggie Freeman. Just as he did countless times in over the course of the season, Kelly frequently forced bad shots with the shot clock winding dowm against to lead Horns to Sweet 16 once again Temple. Kelly isn't a deadly outside shooter who can pull up and drain a shot in his man's face consistently, nor can he take someone off the dribble to either get to the basket or to create a better shot for one of his teammates. Freeman played with the same style in his career at lexas, and while he did lead Tom Penders' team to a Sweet 16 berth in 1997, his inconsistent play could help Texas give away any lead, including a second-half advantage in a third-round loss to Louisville in the 1997 NCAAs. Though Kelly played decently against Temple with his 15 points and 10 rebounds, he had only five points on 2-of-7 shooting in the first half. Meanwhile, Kelly's counterpart on Temple, Quincy Wadley, scored 20 points on 8-of-ll shooting, including 4- of-5 threes, as the Owis built an insur­ mountable 41-22 lead. It s the time of year when good players step up. Good players make tough shots,” Kelly said, summing things up perfectly. Not enough Chris Owens. Temple head coach John Cheney raved about Owens in his post-game comments, as many opposing coaches have done this season about Texas' 6-foot 8-inch for­ ward. The problem is they usually talk about how good Owrens can be, not how good he already is. The time has long since come for Owens to step up and become a dominant college player. There w'as no one in the Big 12, except for maybe Nebraska's Kimani Ffriend and Kansas' Drew Gooden, w’ho should have been able to match up with Ow’ens, who looked to be in poised for a breakout year after aver- aging 9.4 points and 5.6 rebounds last season off-the-bench. Instead, Owens upped those num­ to only 14.4 points and 8.0 bers rebounds, and he often disappeared for stretches at a time, such as the first half against Temple, when he made only l-of-5 field goals. "We weren't intense,” Owens said of the Horns in the first half. "We didn't come to play." After a halftime tantrum that saw' Owens reportedly knock over come chairs and yell at some teammates for their lack of emotion, Owens came out and scored Texas' first six points in the second half. That kind of intensity has to be there from the first game of next season if Ow'ens is ever to live up to his potential. — Poor guard play. The worst kept secret in the Big 12 was Texas' hole at the point guard position. By now, everyone has heard about how recruit T.J. Ford is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will instantly be throwing alley-oops to Owens, Evans and whoever else is on the court with him next season. The problem is Ford wasn't on the roster for this year's tournament, and Temple knew that Fredie Williams and Royal Ivey weren't going to do any­ thing to hurt their chances for victory, as neither is any kind of threat from long-range. Barnes himself said if he was play- ing Texas, he would "pack it in and make you make shots to beat me." Pretty simple stuff, and when Temple did just that, the Horns shot brick after brick and dug themselves a hole far too big to escape. — Inexperience players caving to the pressure. Freshmen Jam es Thomas, Brian Boddicker, Brandon Mouton and Ivey combined for 12 points against Temple, roughly half of their season average of 21. Sure, they had never been to the NCAAs before, but that is no excuse for disappearing when their teammates needed them most. Texas' youth was supposedly the reason Barnes filled his non-conference schedule with games against teams such as Illinois, Arizona, Utah, UConn, and entered the preseason NIT, where the Horns advanced to the semifinals in New York City to face Duke and Indiana. Those tough games were sup­ posed to make Texas "tournam ent tough." Next season, Boddicker must devel­ op a low-post game to complement his outside shooting, Thomas must learn not to fumble the ball on offense and add some moves to his impressive rebounding pedigree, Mouton must learn to play under control, and Ivey must find his niche as either a point or a shooting guard. — Coaching. Rick Barnes is a quality coach, there is no doubt about that. Inheriting a team that went 14-17 the year before you arrived and taking them to three straight NCAA appear­ ances is good. Just not Texas Good. The consensus of everyone in Austin is that every year Texas should be a Top 25 basketball program. With the amount of resources at Barnes' dispos­ al, that level of success is not unrealis­ tic, and Barnes has the same expecta­ tions for himself. So why have the Horns failed to reach the round of 32 two out of three years under Barnes? "The bottom line is, you have to get players, Barnes said. "This time of year, I don't think there is any question players have to make plays." It the players ultimately determine a team's success, what does a coach do? Did Penn State have better players that North Carolina? Or were the fa r Heels outcoached? Bill Self coached Tulsa to within a game of the Final Four a year ago, and he got rewarded with a better job at Illinois. Barnes was given the Texas job three years ago based on what he accom­ plished at Clemson — three straight NCAA berths, a No. 2 national ranking on its way to a Sweet 16 appearance in 1997, and the school's best all-time winning percentage (.601). Now, it is time for Barnes to take the Texas program to the proverbial next level, or his move from Clemson to Texas becomes only a lateral one. And that is not something that will sit kindly with Texas fans, who defi­ nitely do not see Clemson in an equal light. loss to Temple in the first round of the NCAA tournament Texas dropped head coach Rick Barnes career tourney record to 3-9.

"It's a lot less stressful here in March than if you do it in June," Torre said. At least three times, Torre men­ tioned that he didn't want to hurt Knoblauch's psyche. Knoblauch, who won a Gold Glove at second in 1997 with Minnesota, seemed in a good frame of mind. At first, he didn't want to talk about the switch. But after Lñmp irw? the switch. But after some prodding, he opened up and even joked about it, saying his new outfield glove was en route by overnight mail. Knoblauch played center field for lexas A&M as a freshman in 1987 but has played outfielder just once in the major in leagues, September 1993. for Minnesota No one has been able to come up with an explanation for Knoblauch's malady. He criticized television com­ mentators who tried to judge his problem, saying only Steve Sax, who also developed throwing problems at second, could know what he felt. i 11 tazi "It's not baseball. Who knows what it is?" he said. "It might not have any­ thing to do with me as a baseball play­ er." i He compared it to trying to figure out why his father has Alzheimer's disease. "M y dad is sick. My dad is in a bed in Houston not knowing what's going on," he said. Through the tough times, his team­ mates have noticed the stress. "I'll guarantee his offensive num­ bers are going to go up," said Tino Martinez, whose defense at first base has saved Knoblauch from even more errors. "H e's not going to give up," Bemie Williams said. "I think he's going to be able to make the adjustment. He's a good athlete." Moving Knoblauch to left field would appear to leave Shane Spencer without a spot when his right knee heals from knee surgery last July. It also figures to reduce to the playing time of Henry Rodriguez, who signed with the Yankees as a free agent. In winning the last three World Series, the Yankees' offense has func­ tioned best with Knoblauch leading off and Derek Jeter hitting second. UCLA, from 9 a There's a small part in his development.

Although this year marks the fourth time in his five seasons he's taken UCLA into the round of 16, this is the first time he's done it with a team made up strictly of players he recruited. They've been through thick and thin with Lavin, supporting him every time their play led to questions about his job security, and turned it up a notch when he drew fire after their 4-4 start this season. "If I'm going to struggle, this is a group I want to struggle with," Lavin said. "This is a their remarkable group — maturity, character, together­ ness. Seeing their individual and collective improvement has made this a special season for me."

Director Kenton Vaughan seeks to change that with his latest documen­ tan,; The Deinl You Know: Inside the Mind of Todd A IcFarkne. For Vaughan's second film, he chose to tackle the life of one of the most suc­ cessful comic Ixxik personalities, Todd McFarlane, the Canadian creator of Spawn and one of the most renowned businessmen in the comic booh indus­ try. In the earlv 1990s, McFarlane and a group of other creators broke oft from the tw o major comic publishers, EXT and Marvel, and created their ow n label, Image, with the dream of creator- controlled stories. Since the inception of Image, most of the other founders' imprints have gone belly up and thev have returned to the major publishers. The big exception is McFarlane. Rather than going under, he has expanded his line into t o y s , movies and cartoons. Strangely enough, Vaughan was unaware of McFarlane's status when he first came across the artist. "I m not a comic booh fan and I had never even heard of him. 1 read about about him in this American magazine that talked about this Canadian entre­ preneur w ho turned the comic book industry on its ear. 1 phoned him up and thought that he had a fascinating story, the ultimate sort of rags to riches storv." Af ter learning of McFarlane in 1996, Vaughan called him up and immedi­ ate!) had a half-hour conversation. The documentary didn't begin to materialize until late Ju ly 1999 when filming began. For a year-and-a-half until October 2( XX). Vaughan and his crew w e r e able to film different aspects of McFarlane's life. "H e was completely cooperative. W e had great access to everything from his business meetings and w e spent a few days with him when he and his family were on holiday." Soon after completion of the film, Vaughan submitted it to South by Southwest with the encouragement of McFarlane. "Todd and his people decided it was a good fit In the years past, he and his company have had a presence there." For those who remember last year's festival, McFarlane's presence was felt even though he was not in attendance. Sjmim stickers were being handed out at concerts and parties. One notable part)’ that McFarlane had an influence on was the Spin party where they handed out various Spawn merchan­ dise. I he film itself deals not onlv with McFarlane as a comic book artist but also takes on his role as a businessman, a family man a creator and a baseball enthusiast. Remember when Mark M cGw ire's 70th home run ball was auctioned off for several million dol­ lars. 1 he buyer was Ttxid McFarlane. All these portions of McFarlane's life make up the documentary and make the film accessible not only to fans of his work but also to people w ho know nothing about him. "People have come to it who don't know anything about comic books but just get involved with the story. It's a great, fascinating store; It's not just comic books, it also includes his love of baseball and his tryout for a major- league team. It's a love store' that includes his relationship with his wife, w ho started going out with him when she was 13 years old. It's got all these other things that make a really gtxxl store'." Unfortunately, McFarlane was not able to attend the festival due to prior commitments to his family. But one thing comic book tans should have looked out for is the oomics-to-movie panel that was held earh' on in the fes­ tival featuring Austin's ow n Harry Knowles and the producer of the criti- callv acclaimed Batman cartoon, Paul Dini.

D on’t get m e w rong, though. This film will m ake you think, and it w ill lead to m u ch-needed discussion. But good direction isn 't enough to m ake up for the script, which, d espite its solid storvline, fails to live up to its potential. John 1 ler/fe ld (2 Days in the I a ¡leu) w rote and directed the film. But he spent too m uch time perfecting the film 's direction to notice the script s d ow nfalls. To his credit, he has m ade an entertaining film w ith an interesting concept. But the concept is overdone. Two foreigners tic into N ew York Citv with hopes ot m aking m ovies and living the A m erican dream . The tw o aren t in tow n tor m ore than a day before they steal a video cam era and kill two people. !h is difficult to p ic o f reality -based conventional m ovie v iolence hasn t been portrayed on film before. And so it need ed to be done right, esp ecial­ ly since the film s release follow s the recent school shooting in C alifornia, w hich left tw o students d ea d . hat the script lacks, the actors m ake up tor.

De Niro rarely m isses his m ark and this film is no exception. 1 it* s able to m ake the role look easy. A fter all, no one can play* a tough, confid ent charac­ ter like De Niro. i. nfortúnatele for Edw ard B u r n s , who play's an arson investigator nam ed Jordv Warsaw, the role doesn t have the sam e allure. Burns is a talented ai t >• bu! \ h i w ouldn t know it by his portrayal of t h i s boring character to w hich he adds little excite­ ment. Warhol’s The highlight of 15 M inutes is the killer him self. Karel Roden plays Em il Slovak, the one w ho pulls the trigger w hile his friend O leg (O leg Taktarov) film s their adventures. Roden gives this film its kick as the sm art and d istu rbing sociopath. M elin a K an ak ared es (T V 's Providence), C harlize Theron, Kim C a ttra ll (Sex and the C ity ) and D avid Alan G rier each add their own bit o f flavor to the mix. But one supporting character ou tshines them all. Kelsey C ram m e r's ch arac­ ter is one o f those w orthless jo u rn al­ ists that give the rest of us a bad nam e, but he plays the part perfectly As the an ch o r of a popular, sle a z y new s show , he it b oasts, “ If it bleeds, lead s." H erzfeld should have used this line to m ake a point ab ou t A m erican society. But instead, he has created a film that b leed s all through. the w ay Robert De Niro races against the clock to find two killers in the new thriller 15 minutes. The film also stars Edward Burns. 75 Minutes' less- than-thrilling take on Warhol axiom Ge t Ove r It Loosely based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, the film tells of Berke. who after a split with his girlfnend. fails for his best friend's younger sister.

N ow th e film l i M in u te s u se s th e refer­ e n c e fo r a film in w h icl Sleep (1963) One of Warhol’s first film s is notori­ ous for playing to sparse crowds, usu­ ally only two or three people, and quickly inducing sleep. What distin­ gu ishes W arhol’s film from so many of Kevin Costner's is that Warhol actually film s a man sleeping — for 5 hours and 21 m inutes — and he dares the audience not to do the sam e. Blow Job (1963) G uess what this one's about. Velvet Underground and Nico (1966) Not a conventional “ rockum entary” by any m eans, this profile of W arhol’s underground creation contains no rec­ ognizable material. The band plays an aim le ss jam se ssio n meant to frus­ trate the expected audience. The style fits the Velvet Underground, with entrancing m ovem ents of the camera and innovations that would prove influ­ ential in the m usic video generation. The Chelsea Girls (1966) According to som e, this film rem ains W arhol’s best work. At the least, it represents a transition to more a c c e ssib le film m aking and the artist's first effort to be played in com ­ m ercial movie houses. The movie was projected on two adjacent screens, each screen showing a scene appar­ ently unrelated to the other. D istilling it into a synop sis is alm ost im possi­ ble. since it lacks a singular narrative, but the stylistic experim ents make the four hours of strained performance worthwhile. Lonesome Cowboys (1968) Another controversial film from Warhol, this parody of the Western was pulled from an Atlanta theater by local police for its lasciviou s content. A side from the androgynous cow boys and their sexual pursuits, the film is notable for W arhol’s importing of such foreign concepts as plot and characterization. Blue Movie (1969) A lso known as Fuck, the movie show s Viva and Louis Waldon, playing them selves, spending an afternoon together in an apartm ent in New York. The film includes a take of over 35 m inutes — an, um, "extended" love scene between the couple. fa m o u s R o b e rt D e N iro a n d fa m o u s Ed B u rn s la m e n t th e p u rs u it of fa m e for th e ir re la tiv e ly a n o n y m o u s c h a ra c te rs . w h ile the d ire c to r u s e s c o n v e n tio n a l m o v ie v io le n c e to c o n d e m n th e fre ­ q u e n t p o rtra y a l of c o n v e n tio n a l m o v ie v io le n c e .
