Harris Daily Texan Staff Although licensing costs to use some Microsoft software may increase for some universities, UT students and faculty will not be affected for now, said Margaret Knox, associate director of Academic Computing and Instructional Technology Services. Currently, Microsoft provides licenses for universities to sell software packages, such as Microsoft Office, which are made up of several applications. Under the new plan, Microsoft will sell individual applications to students, eliminating unused programs from students' software purchases. The software company intends for students to pay less by eliminating the sale of unnecessary software. But users who use all of the programs in the software pack­ ages may pay more when buying each program individually. The changes, which Knox said will go into effect next spring, will not affect most users because of a four-year multi­ million dollar contract already in place between Microsoft and the UT System. The current contract, known as the Campus Enterprise Agreement, licenses UT System schools to reproduce some Microsoft software packages, such as Microsoft Office, for use by faculty, students and academic departments. The $6.3 mil­ lion contract, signed in 1998, runs through Aug. 31, 2002. Software users with older versions of applications may find upgrading more expensive as well. Instead of installing addi­ tional software to upgrade the applications, UT students and faculty will have to purchase the newer software, Knox said. Microsoft is also encouraging a new "subscription" plan, where users pay a fee and receive an upgrade when it becomes available, she said. Software updates are not protect­ ed under the CEA. "Normally what you would do is buy an upgrade license which is less expensive," Knox said. "Those upgrade prices will no longer be available." The CEA does not include programs such as Microsoft Project and som e Microsoft network operating systems. "I feel that Microsoft's move reflects the continuing move of the industry to support subscription-based and continual updates as opposed to the purchasing of major releases," said Richard Pound, president of the computer science honor soci­ ety Upsilon Pi Epsilon. "I feel that while this provides the user with the latest releases and features, I believe that putting out stable snapshots would benefit the end user more." James Blazier, store manager for Campus Computers, said students shouldn't be concerned about popular programs such as Microsoft Office increasing in price anytime soon. "Until the license agreement expires, our price structures will remain the same," Blazier said. "We sell the software basi­ cally at cost." Students can purchase the Microsoft Office software — a three- CD package including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access Database — from Campus Computers for $15. More inform ation about the CEA can be found at www. u texas. ed u/cc/sds/m icrosoft. Microsoft packages Software included in Microsoft Office package: • Microsoft Word • Excel • PowerPoint • Outlook • Access Database Software packages can be purchased for $5 per CD at Campus Computers. Internet sparks new concerns with student plagiarism \ The availability of student and professional papers on the Internet has provided new ways for university students to plagiarize — an online paper can be copied by students across the country. The problem has forced University faculty and staff to find ways to combat Internet plagiarism.

W hat you c a n ’t tell is if stu dents are getting work from other stu­ d e n ts.” — Wayne A. Rebhom, professor of English By Devin Griffiths Daily Texan Staff When asked if people she knows submit papers plagiarized from the Internet, Sandy Jones, a computer sci­ ence junior, didn't hesitate to answer — "Hell, yes, all the time," she said. And Jones is not alone. A 1999 Center for Academic Integrity survey found 69 percent of professors surveyed catch at least one plagiarist a year. But while the Web has provided increased access to source material, it has also provided new tools that help professors locate plagiarized material. The UT Computer Writing and Research Lab Web site includes an extensive list of online search engines and anti-plagiarism data­ to bases www.interiguard.com that make it easy for professors to search for an unusual phrase or passage they may feel a student had plagiarized. from www.google.com "Google is our best weapon for catching online plagiarism," said Vimala Pasupathi, assistant instructor in the Department of Rhetoric and Composition. Pasupathi, who handles most of the plagiarism cases for her depart­ ment, said the number of cases filed in the 2000-2001 school year over­ whelmed her. "Frankly, I got almost to a level of despair," she said. The Department of Rhetoric and Composition wages an aggressive cam­ paign against plagiarism, Pasupathi said, including a preparatory course for all RHE 309 instructors that teaches var­ ious anti-plagiarism techniques, such as requiring copies of all cited material or research sources. Wayne A. Rebhom, a professor of English, said he modifies his plagia­ rism-preventing measures based on the type of class he is teaching.

Harris Daily Texan Staff Mary Love, a math teacher at Travis High School in Austin, is surrounded by technology. Her son is a computer network administrator. Her daughter uses computers in her field as a mathematician. Even her husband is in the com­ puter industry. But Love said she never dreamed she could use a Palm Pilot to help her maintain student names and addresses or a laptop computer to track her students' attendance and grades. "I can take it home and work on grades at home," she said. "I've never done that before — it's always been transport a desk to and from school." Although her family uses technology in their daily lives, Love admits "there's stül a lot I don't know." Love and 27 other math and science teachers from Austin middle and high schools are conclud­ ing a two-day workshop today that will teach them how to use technology in their classrooms to improve student learning. "I had never seen a Palm Pilot and when people would talk about writing on the screen, I never thought I would do it," Love said, as she wrote in a memo on the hand-held gadget. "This is the best thing since sliced bread." The workshop comes one year after the Austin Independent School District and the University received a three-year, $800,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant, created as part of the department's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology program, or PT3, is awarded to programs working to prepare college students for future careers in education. UTeach, the University's connection to the PT3 program, is a collaboration between the College of Education and College of Natural Sciences. It allows UT math and science majors to conduct their observation and student teaching in class- See AISD, Page 2 Thomas Meredith/Daily Texan Staff Tatiana Miranda, an AISD eighttvgade science teacher at Martin Junior High School, learns to use a Palm Pilot as part of the Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology Program at the University Thursday.

Lawson, executive director for university affairs. By Raquel C. Gaiza Daily Texan Staff November 18,1999 seems a distant date in history. But the Texas A&M University campus was forever changed when 12 people died and 27 were injured building the bonfire that was traditionally burned before a crowd of thousands. The 90-year-old tradition, held every year before the UT-A&M football game, has since been suspended and now university officials hope to remember those who died and those who were injured with a perma­ nent memorial. "Obviously, the university family is still grieving about the loss in 1999, and I cer­ tainly believe that having a memorial of After the 59-foot structure collapsed, Texas A&M President Ray Bowen suspend­ ed the bonfire until 2002. An independent panel found that structural flaws had caused the collapse. To meet safety and con­ struction standards, the university began searching for a firm to submit safety plans for a new bonfire. Vallen Knowledge System Corp., who had proposed safety plans, withdrew their bid last month when it could not agree on contract terms with the university. CBM Engineers Inc. has been chosen as the des ;n and construction firm for the new Bonfire. Bowen resigned as A&M president on June 6.

The board first discussed the projects at its Finance and Planning commit­ tee meeting on Tuesday. Now project highlights By Michael Taylor Daily Texan Staff The UT System Board of Regents is considering a proposal to build an $80-million hotel and conference center on or adjacent to the UT campus. University officials said the facil­ ity is in the "idea" stage. Patricia Gubb, vice president of employee and campus services, said such a facility could be used for academic and professional con­ ferences, workshops and housing for prospective students and their families. "If s very premature at this point to try to put much detail to it," Qubb said. "If s really more of a concept than anything else." Sid Sanders, UT System assis­ tant vice chancellor for facilities planning and construction, said the board accepts proposals from UT System schools every two years for capital improvements planned for the next six years. Sanders added that over the next six years, the University will have to specify how they plan to finance the project, if at all. Gubb said that after feasibility studies are done and the idea is fur­ ther explored, the University will decide on what course of action to take. "This is a revenue producing project so it would not compete with academic capital projects," Qubb said. '1 think it has a lot of merit.

An irvestment executive in Chicago on busi­ ness thought his cock­ tail waitress deserved better. John Boc, chief executive officer of Meridian Investments Inc. of Quincy, Mass., tipped Colleen Gallagher $11,000 on April 23 after having drinks at the Excalibur club in Chicago. Gallagher received the money Wednesday from Boc’s credit card company. She was having a bad night, having earned just $11 in tips when she waited on Boc. “He said ‘How’s life treating you?’ and I said ‘Oh, I’ve had bet­ ter days.’ And it just went from there,” Gallagher said. She went on to tell Boc she was strug­ gling to make ends meet, find an afford­ able apartment and provide for her sons. Boc asked what her biggest tip was. She told him $100. “He gave me a credit card to pay for the drinks and said, ‘Give yourself a $1,000 tip,”’ Gallagher said. Asked why, he said, “Because I had the money, and it’s not important,” she recalled. Minutes later, Boc produced his wallet, asked Gallagher to pick a credit card and told her to give herself another $10,000 tip. Boc’s own family didn’t know about the huge tip until the wait­ ress came forward. His son, Derek Boc, said his father is gen­ erous, but the size of the tip is unusual. “Everybody was a little shocked,” he said. “He gives to a lot of charities, but nothing this sponta­ neous.” Online tools PLAGIARISM, from 1 seminar classes, he assigns specialized paper topics that would be hard to find online, while with larger lecture-based classes, he assigns in-class essavs. Rebhom said it's easy to tell when a student directly plagiarizes a profession­ al source but more difficult to detect if it comes from lesser-known sources. "Students aren't professional writers, and you can always tell," Rebhom said. "What you can't tell is if students are get­ ting work from other students." In an effort to prevent students from copying a paper from students in other classes, instructors can post suspect papers on a listserve provided by the Division of Rhetoric and Composition, Pasupathi said. '"Have you seen this paper?' comes up every week or two," Pasupathi said. The need for an advanced anti-plagia­ rism tool has spawned a new breed of Web sites, including xmvw.tumitin.com, which compares student papers using a database of previously submitted papers as well as various Internet search engines. The service must be purchased by professors or universities, and many are investing. The University of Minnesota announced Tuesday it would begin using Turnitin.com. But professors at Boston University say their school's con­ tract with Tumitin.com violates the honor code, saying that by automatically clear­ ing papers through the site, it creates an environment in which students are guilty until proven innocent, effectively launching an investigation on every stu­ dent in a class. profs to detect plagiarists But Brian Winser, a radio-television- film junior, said students who don't pla­ giarize shouldn't be concerned. "People abiding by the honor system don't have to worry about it," he said. While Winser said he knew plenty of people who had committed plagiarism, he didn't know anyone who had been caught, and he thinks that may be one reason students think it's OK to down­ load a paper. "You see other people do it and you think, 'Hey, I want to do that, too, how could I get caught?"' Winser said. "Why do the moral thing?" One article suggests that the confusion over the morality of plagiarism is a symptom of a larger double standard in academia. In a Journal of Informational Ethics arti­ cle, Brian Martin, associate professor at the University of Wollongong in Australia, writes there is a plagiarism 'doublespeak," in which plagiarism is condemned in student work but accept­ ed in some professional roles. For instance, Martin says "honorary author­ ship" — placing a professor's name on a paper prepared primarily by graduate students — is widely accepted in acade­ mia but still technically constitutes pla­ giarism. Martin also suggests that some offi­ cials plagiarize speech writers and ghostwriters when they use the work without giving specific credit. Martin calls this "institutional plagiarism," because it is an acceptable practice with­ in an institutional system or profession. Geoff Leavenworth, assistant to the president for communications, said he helps write some of UT President Larry Faulkner's speeches, but that the rela­ tionship is a far cry from plagiarism of original material. Faulkner gives between 300 and 400 speeches a year, Leavenworth said, and while Faulkner writes many of them alone, the sheer volume of speaking engagements makes help necessary. James Vick, vice president for student affairs, said that while he doesn't use a speech writer, he feels the practice is somewhere between referencing a joke and presenting the material as original. "It's a little like telling a joke: You didn't make it up, someone else told it to you," Vick said. While there's nothing funny about the rise in student plagiarism, which con­ cerns him, Vick said he suspects it has more to do with technological develop­ ment than a change in student attitude. "I don't sense a decay of ethical con­ science," Vick said. Workshop gives teachers gadgets, $750 stipend AISD, from 1 rooms with AISD teachers. Anthony Petrosino, a research sci­ entist in the College of Natural Sciences, said the University's pro­ gram was selected for the grant in part because of its unique partner­ ship with AISD. "We're doing two things by work­ ing with the teachers — we're trying to show them proven ways of using technology to enhance student learn­ ing. At the same time, we're doing capacity building to have sites where our student teachers can go to see exemplary work being done in class­ rooms," he said. In addition to the continual train­ ing the educators — referred to as PT3 Fellows — receive, AISD also provides them with a new Dell Notebook computer, a Palm Pilot, a new LCD projector for their depart­ ment and unlimited technical sup­ port during the school year. The fel­ lows will also each receive a $750 stipend after completing four days of technology training. The Palm Pilot training session is one of several options given to teach­ ers in the program. Separate courses teaching the fellows how to set up e- mail programs and how to integrate specific computer software into their curriculum are also offered. Petrosino said that "the full coop­ eration of two schools at a major research university, the College of Education and the College of Natural Sciences, as well as the visionary support of a major urban school dis­ trict that we have in Austin" will con­ tribute to the program's success. "I have what I believe is grounded optimism that we are in the process of formulating a model of profession­ al development that will be emulated around the country," Petrosino said. Love said she agrees. "The connection between AISD and UT is a valuable one," she said. In addition to the AISD instruc­ tional technology trainers, UT faculty and students also help prepare the teachers to use technology in their classrooms. In return, the fellows will serve as cooperating teachers for the UTeach program during the 2001- 2002 school year and will act as tech­ nology mentors to other teachers in their schools. Love said she anticipates using the new skills she's learned in her classes this fall. "If you just use the book, you're going to just get a calculus class," she said. "If you use the technology, it's even more powerful." Three committees Hotel, center to review design among capital improvements BONFIRE, from 1 petition to select the permanent memorial's design. Registration ends July 15, and can be done by mail, telephone or online. Lane Stephenson, deputy director of university affairs, said approxi­ mately 230 registration applica­ tions have been submitted. The competition will be con­ ducted in two stages. The first stage is open to anyone 18 years and older, and will be conduct­ ed anonymously. An independ­ ent selection committee is cur­ rently being formed with mem­ bers from the architecture, fine arts, planning and engineering communities, as well as selected representatives of the university. Two corresponding commit­ tees will also be established to ensure the participation of the A&M community in the selec­ tion process. The first committee will include family members of those who died and were injured. The second committee will include students, alumni, faculty, staff and administrators. Both committees will review the final design schemes chosen by the selection committee and provide written comments. Registrants have until Aug. 31 to submit their plans to the Bonfire Memorial Competition Office. Once the selection committee chooses four finalists, the sec­ ond stage of the competition will begin. Each finalist will receive $10,000. They will also be given an additional $10,000 their to schemes. further develop The finalists will be an­ nounced in November and the winner will be selected by March 2002. The Bonfire Memorial Com­ mittee has selected four poten­ tial sites on various locations across the campus. Polo Field, the area that has housed the bonfire since 1992, is among the potential sites. Lawson said the committee is looking for a design that will reach all members of the Texas A&M community, just as the bonfire tragedy itself did. "I'm sure that whatever [the design] is will embody or repre­ sent the feelings of the Aggie family, not just here on campus, but worldwide," Lawson said. Bowen has stated that Bonfire could resume if certain require­ ments can be met, including stu­ dent support to continue the tra­ dition, the approval of safety, design and construction plans proposed by professional firms and training certification for all students, faculty and staff par­ ticipating in planning, construc­ tion and supervisory roles. HOTEL, from 1 look at very seriously." UT Regent Patrick Oxford said the board will take no further action until the University presents more detailed information and possibilities. "This just came up in the context of a long-range potentiality and I expect we'll be discussing it more at length," he said. "We'll have many more presentations about this and other projects before they're determined to be priorities." Oxford added he sees some potential benefit. "The [Thompson] Conference Center over there is pretty thin for an institution of our magnitude," he said. "I can see why they're thinking about it." Liz Reyna, executive director of the Austin Hotel and Motel Association, said a new conference center and hotel will always be welcome for the overflow business it will inevitably bring. Austin Gleeson, chairman of the UT Master Plan Committee and physics professor, said the revenue-generating facility would not detract from other projects and would probably benefit students who would be able to conveniently attend conferences in their areas of interest. It's an attractive idea: the idea of having a location here where you could put both people and the meeting and still be accessible to students," said Gleeson.

On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz said the Navy would not look at South Texas because it must have an alternative to Meques Island by May 2003 and does not have sufficient time to build a new testing site. Sen. Phil Gramm called Navy Secretary Gordon England on Wednesday morning "to tell him there was little, if any support for the project and more precisely that the senator him­ it," said Gramm self could not support spokesman Larry Neal. "He advised the secre­ tary to fold his tent and look elsewhere." Gramm had been waiting for local residents and officials to have their say about the plan. Based on the past weeks of opposition he made the phone call, Neal said. Ortiz said England told him that the Navy would explore a combination of existing sites, but not in South Texas, since restrictions includ­ ed in a report by the Center for Naval Analyses prohibit the South Texas area from considera­ tion as a possible site. Childsupport ruling stirs debate over enforcement practices NEW YORK — In the quest to collect unpaid child support, authorities have booted cars, revoked drivers licenses, seized bank assets and issued wanted posters of deadbeat parents. Now a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling, ordering a child-support debtor to father no more children while he's on probation, has intensified debate over whether enforcement tactics can violate civil rights. Wisconsin's high court ruled Tuesday that David Oakley, a 34-year-old father of nine who owed $25,000 in support, can be ordered not to father any more children during a five-year pro­ bation imposed in 1999. He faces eight years in jail if he fails to comply. The court's four male justices upheld the ban, while the three female justices dissented, saying that having children is a basic constitutional right. The American Civil Liberties Union expressed dismay at the ruling, depicting Oakley as a scapegoat even though his conduct might be reprehensible. "There's a long, ugly history of attempts by the government to control the reproduction of poor people," said Catherine Weiss, director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project. Senate Democrats challenge Pentagon’s missile defense plan WASHINGTON — The Pentagon's plan to accelerate work on missile defenses, which could put the United States in conflict with an arms control treaty by early next year, ran into strong Democratic opposition in the Senate on Thursday. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., criticized Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz for failing to clarify for Congress whether missile defense tests planned for the budget year starting Oct. 1 would violate the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. The treaty explicitly prohibits the missile defenses President Bush wants to build. In response, Wolfowitz said, "There are activ­ ities in this budget that will raise issues of treaty interpretation, and we have not yet come to res­ olution of those issues." His voice rising with emotion, Levin expressed incredulity that the administration was asking Congress to approve a 57 percent increase in missile defense spending in the 2002 budget, to a total of $8.3 billion, before it has a legal determination on whether the planned tests would violate the ABM treaty. Vladimir Rushailo, the head of President Vladimir Putin's Security Council, said Thursday that if the United States withdraws from the ABM treaty it would open a new chal­ lenge to world security.

Military and political officials confirm the army has readied plans for stepping up the use of force— but the cost in lives and the possibility of a wider regional conflict clearly are giving the govern­ ment pause in going all-out. "The army has plans to cover all the possibilities, but what counts is the Cabinet decisions," said Raanan Gissin, spokesman of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "There are three options: surrender to Arafat, to go ahead with this plan — to occupy — or to continue the current course of restraint and self-defense. The government has said it's committed to peace but this situation can't last forev­ er." One military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a large- scale attack was about to be launched June 2 — the day after a suicide bomber killed 21 young people outside a Tel Aviv disco — but it was put off by Arafat7s announcement, under intense European pressure, of a cease-fire. Talk of a massive assault has since intensified as Israelis have grown increasingly exasperated with the failure of a cease-fire to take hold. Mortar attacks and even bombings inside Israel continue, and Jewish settlers are target­ ed in near-daily shootings. The Israeli media has taken to treating the possibility of a serious escalation — even a reoccupation of the West Bank and perhaps Gaza — as something of an inevitability, set to be triggered by the next major terrorist attack. "An unusual consensus has taken hold [and] all roads are leading to a catastrophe," wrote Chemi Shalev in the Maariv daily. "A few days after the war breaks out, suddenly everyone will remember how horrible war is... when it will be too late." Palestinian Planning Minister Nabil Shaath said Sharon — currently visiting Italy — presented far-reaching plans to American and European leaders. "I know that both President Bush and [French President Jacques] Chirac spoke very clearly to Sharon about this issue and warned him against the great dan­ gers of such a policy," he told The Associated Press. "One has to take this seriously because other threats have been carried out" Commentator Haim Hanegbi warned Israel's leaders that if they ordered an invasion they could eventu­ ally face the same fate as Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav presi­ dent now facing a war crimes trial in The Hague. But Communications Minister Reuven Rivlin told AP that continued attacks "will not leave Israel any alterna­ tives. I have no doubt the prime minister wants to avoid a war as much as possi­ ble ... but if Arafat forces us to go to war, we will go to war." The Yesha Council representing the 200,000 Jewish settlers, a key source of support for Sharon, issued a statement Thursday calling on the prime minister to wait no longer and "order the army to ... distance Arafat from the region and dismantle the Palestinian Authority, the largest terrorist organization in the world." Industry Minister Dalia Itzik, a mem­ ber of the moderate Labor Party, warned that such pressure from Sharon's politi­ cal base might have an effect. "The scent of war is in the air;" she said. A top military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the AP that one plan proposed by the army was to move into Palestinian areas and arrest the dozens of militants who are behind die violence — then move out and leave Arafat7s regime in place. But Israeli and foreign media have been rife with detailed reports about more far-reaching proposals as well. liana Shmulyan and her child arrive at Tel Hashomer Hospital near Tel Aviv Thursday. Both were injured from a drive-by shooting. Associated Press Campaign finance legislation sidetracked by a vote of 228-203 By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Landmark campaign finance legislation suf­ fered a punishing blow in the House on Thursday, and each polit­ ical party rushed to blame the other for the latest setback in the decade- old drive to reduce the role of big money in politics. "I hope when things cool off we can find ways to bring this up in a fair fashion," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., deeply involved in the struggle to push his trade­ mark bill through the House. But Speaker Dennis Hastert, R- Hl., said, "Right now I have no plans to bring this bill up" again. The future of the measure was left in doubt when the House, on a vote of 228-203, rejected ground rules the Republican leadership proposed for debate over the con­ tentious issue. Supporters of the bill had denounced them as unfair and vowed to defeat them. They won a victory — but at enormous cost, since the result was to keep the bill from coming to the floor. The vote capped a day of bare­ knuckle politics, with McCain ask­ ing several of the bill's Republican supporters one by one in a closed- door meeting whether they were ready to defy their leadership and a group of the bill's GOP supporters ultimately informing Hastert they had the votes to defeat him. Internal Republican tensions spilled into the open several times during the day, including once when Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, the Republican whip and an opponent of the bill, said, "Mr. Shays is not the speaker and he is not the Rules Committee." Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., is the leading Republican supporter of the measure in the House, and had angered other backers of the bill when he said he was reluctant to ask other Republicans to buck the leadership on the key procedur­ al vote. Unless Hastert agrees to resched­ ule the bill, the only way support­ ers can force the issue is by getting the signatures of half the members of the House on a petition, a cum­ bersome procedure that can take months. The maneuvering came over leg­ islation to enact the most far-reach­ ing changes in the nation's political finance system since the Watergate reforms a quarter-century ago. Backed by McCain and advanced in the House by Reps. Martin Meehan, D-Mass., and Shays, the bill would virtually ban soft money, that the unlimited donations unions, corporations and individu­ als make to the political parties. Most of the money is spent on scathing television commercials that stop just short of explicitly advocating a candidate's election or defeat. The measure also would ban certain types of political adver­ tising in the final 60 days of a cam­ paign. The two parties raised nearly $500 million in soft money in the two-year period that ended on Dec. 31, and Republican figures released Thursday underscored the extent to which they have become reliant on them. The GOP House campaign committee reported raising $38.6 million for the first six months of this year, $21 million in regulated money and $17.6 million in unlim­ ited soft money donations. The Senate has passed a similar bill, and President Bush has sig­ naled he would sign it. House sup­ porters, with the support of McCain, were hoping to pass a measure similar enough to avoid the formal House-Senate negotia*- tions that they said would give GOP leaders yet another chance to kill the legislation. The political v finger-pointing began instantly.

V IE W P OIN T K It Ain’t Broke In a victory for common sense and public education, Travis County District Judge Scott M cCown struck dow n a legal challenge to the state's public school funding system. Four property-rich scnool districts challenged the state's school finance plan sometimes referred to as the "Robin Hood" plan. Because the state of Texas refuses to properly address school funding needs of Texas, Sen. Bill Ratliff, R- Flower Mound, was charged with finding a way to cre­ ate some kind of eauity between school districts. The result was Robin Hood, and since its inception, rich school districts have denounced it while simultaneous­ ly electing representatives who stonewall any talk of a state income tax. Even Ratliff, the plan's author, wasn't a fan of the legislation but saw it as a necessary evil. It was the Texas Supreme Court that directed the Texas Legislature to find a way to equalize the discrepancy in funding between rich and poor districts. The rich districts do have a legitimate gripe. Once the tax cap that districts can impose on property are reached, $1.50 per $100 of property value, those dis­ tricts must send that money to poorer districts. About 20 percent of the school districts in Texas have reached the cap and are now forced to limit programs or even cut some. Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, and Lt. Gov. Ratliff have promised to readdress the school funding system in Texas and will appoint a committee to study the issue by September. Robin Hood, while extremely unpopular, was an ingenious way to get around Texas' animosity toward anything resembling a state income tax. W e commend Judge McCown for not caving in to the impatient school districts and for allowing cooler heads to prevail. Ratliff and Bivins should follow through with their pledge to review the law and find ways to make it more fair for property-rich districts. In the meantime, Texans are going to have to come to grips with the grim reality of public education — you nave to pay for it.

A nd, on the FAREWELL COMICS GOD Keep reading Kurt's comics at www.spaceagiecomlcs.com The above comic was doctored by Kurt's admirers at The Daily Texan Debating Doomsday for the gas guzzlers By Kris Banks Daily Texan Columnist We see the lifestyle on the commer­ cials: Tearing it up down a muddy road, plowing through the snow, driv- ing up to the top of the mountains. Ah, the freedom to roam the outdoors you get in a sports utility vehicle! Of course, only about 13 percent of SUVs ever leave the road, so mostly they're used for tearing it up down suburban streets, blocking the vision of the people behind them and suck­ ing down that gasoline. Of those three things, consuming fuel like a fish consumes water seems to be what SUVs are best at. The mas­ sive Ford Excursion gets 10 miles to the gallon. Being a time of high gas prices, it would seem there wouldn't be a demand for such things. However, "light trucks," which include SUVs, pick-ups and mini vans comprised nearly half of automotive sales in America last year. While pick­ ups are extremely popular, it's SUVs that are the hot new trend. The Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or the CAFE standard, that automotive which mandates companies keep an average fuel effi­ ciency for all the cars they make, was created in 1975, when light trucks were less than 20 percent of automo­ tive sales. Since back then they were used I f the average fu el efficiency o f SUVs in Am erica increased 3 rnpg, we would have 49,000,000gallons [a day] mainly by farmers and ranchers for transporting cargo, the fuel efficiency average for light trucks was set at 20.7 miles per gallon. The standard set for passenger cars was 27.5 mpg. However, the SUV isn't really a truck, because it can't really be used to haul farm equipment like a pick-up can. Many SUVs don't have any more passenger seats than a family sedan. And despite the ads, they're rarely used for heading out in the wilderness with Bob Seger's "Like a Rock" play­ ing in the background. So with SUVs, automotive compa­ nies have gotten away with making a big, popular car without the hassle of actually making it fuel efficient. But members of the U.S. Congress are at work trying to plug this gaping loop­ hole. A bill introduced by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, would make automotive companies bring the aver­ age fuel efficiency up to 27.5 mpg for both passenger cars and light trucks. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chair of the House Energy and Air Quality sub­ committee, has suggested he will introduce similar legislation. Legislation like Schumer's is neces­ sary not only for the protection of the environment, since cars that use more gas make more pollution, but also to do something about America's energy crisis. With more cars on the road that aren't required to meet high fuel effi­ ciency standards, we have more demand for oil. As Harper’s Magazine pointed out, if we started drilling in A laska's Arctic National W ildlife Refuge, we would be 42,000,000 gal­ lons of oil richer a day. If the average fuel efficiency of SUVs in America increased 3 mpg, we would have 49,000,000 gallons. Of course, no amount of changes to the fuel efficiency standard will make SUVs safer. They're still be twice as likely to roll over than normal vehi­ cles because of their high center of gravity. Firestone has argued that the deaths attributed to their faulty tires may well be because of Ford's badly engineered Explorer. And then there's DaimlerChrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun investigat­ ing due to reports that it goes into reverse with no reason as it's being driven down the road. That could really mess up your transmission — not to mention your skull if you're in front of an 18-wheeler hurling down I- 35. But at least the legislation will cut down on the amount of pollution being spewed out by all the SUVs rolling down the road. Whether they're rolling on their wheels or on their sides is another issue.

Heart-shaped spiral notepad ... check. Chihuahua dressed in tiny ; outfits ... check. Congratulations, you're now ready for Harvard's School of Law. LEGALLY BLONDE ★★★*?☆ starring Reese Witherspoon directed by Robert Luketic Not the typical materials for the most prestigious law school in America, right? But she's not the typical law student, either. In the - fluff comedy Legally Blonde, Reese ; Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, a girl who has only known the com­ forts of a Beverly Hills upbringing, sorority life and having fun with frat boyfriend Warner Huntington DI (Matthew Davis). Witherspoon carries the film well, never failing to get laughs. The film is exactly what the trailers have por­ trayed it to be — nothing more, nothing less. But audiences may be pleasantly surprised by just how entertaining a ditzy blonde can be. At the beginning of the film, Warner has just been accepted into Harvard's law school, and just when Elle thinks he's going to pro­ pose, he dumps her. Apparently, she's too blonde and not enough Jackie O. to be the wife of a future East Coast politician. Determined to prove him wrong and win him back, Elle decides she's going to get into Harvard Law. And, of course, she does. But not in the way one might think. It only proves the stereotype of pretty looks getting you anywhere, when the admittance board lets Elle in on account of her blonde locks and curves. Poor thing. She thought she got in for the same reasons everyone else did. Her first day in class only makes her stand out more. When everyone else pulls out their laptop, she pulls out her pink, heart-shaped notepad. When everyone else has read the textbook assignment, she doesn't even have a textbook. Worst of all, her professor (played to haughty perfection by Holland Taylor) kicks her out of class for being ill-pre­ pared. She also gets snubbed by a prissy classmate (Selma Blair), who also happens to be Warner's new girlfriend. Things will turn around, though. They always do. The audience watches Elle prove herself, and it's just one surprise after another for the characters when she succeeds in law school, obtains a highly coveted internship at her professor's law firm and actually shows that she has the intelligence to pull it off. From the start, the film pokes fun at the blonde, sorority-girl stereo­ type. For example, when Warner breaks up with Elle, she stomps out of the restaurant and starts walking home, with Warner begging her to get in his car. When she refuses, he pnoto courtesy of MGM Pictures points out that she might ruin her shoes, to which she pouts and promptly gets in. Granted, there are some ridicu­ lous plot twists, if you can even call them that. There are parts of the Pobie Midnight Series Pick Princess Mononoke (1997) Not planning for the faux anime of Final Fantasy: The Spirits W ithin? Well, then head to the D obie any day this next week as it begins its next installm ent in the m idnight series, P rin cess M ononoke. M ore featu re, than M ononoke transcends the genre and becom es a m odern-day fairy tale told through beau tifully refined anim ation techniques. anim e ju st an The film opened in Japan in 1997 to ¡become the most popular homegrown •film in the nation's history. A strong cult following tailed behind, and American viewers grew heated with anticipation for what famed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service) had created. After nearly two years, Miramax released Mononoke stateside to rave reviews. The film was altered slightly for America, with new dialogue writ­ ten by Sandman comic creator Neil Gaiman and new voices dubbed by Gillian Anderson, Minnie Driver and Billy Crudup. With this new group of talent, the English-speaking set were able to enjoy the mystical story about a dying prince's mission to save his life, a jour­ ney that ultimately becomes a mission to help save a magical forest. In the United States, Princess Mononoke had a solid draw in the art- house market and has since been a fave of indie film buffs. But don't let the niche marketing fool you: Princess Mononoke is an appealing animated fea­ ture, full of action, fun and wonderful talent. —Matt Dentler Want to learn how to read?

A blonde parade. "Six, please. I could never eat 12 pieces." What do you call a brunette between two blondes? A blonde ordered a pizza and the clerk asked if he should cut ft in six or 12 pieces. NOT SO DUMB BLONDE What's five miles long Do blondes really and has an IQ of 40? have more fun? You wouldn't think so with the way they've his­ torically been depicted as less- than-intelligent people. The new film Legally Blonde pokes fun at these stereo­ types. Besides, no one with an IQ themselves would ever think a blonde joke actually was true. To explore this cultural phenom­ enon, here is a companion to the film, a com­ pilation of some of the famous blonde jokes in our history. Did you hear about the blonde couple that were found frozen to death in their car at a drive-in movie theater? What does a blonde and a beer bottle have in common? What do you call a blonde on a college campus? They went to see "Closed for the Winter." They’ re both empty from the neck up.

Hey, if s not the most sophisti­ cated humor, but it sure is cute. And good for a few chuckles, too. Legally Blonde is filled with under­ rated but talented actors, such as Luke Wilson and Blair who give the movie charm and character. Blair thoroughly convinces the audience she's a total prep-school witch. And Wilson is lovable, as always, as Elle's supportive new love interest. Witherspoon is adorable and enjoyable as the ditzy blonde who gamers no respect. No one takes her seriously, not even her own parents. But she learns that believing in her­ self is all she really needs. Yes, the moral of the film is overused and sugary, but the film itself still carries some refreshing aspects. Ifs nice to get away from gross humor of films like Scary Movie and American Pie — hilarious as they are — and return to the naive comedy genre of the Clueless days. Go in not expecting too much, and it will amuse you. Legally Blonde... check.

The stadium off of Highway 79 in Round Rock was still under construction when the Round Rock Express’ inaugural season began. m Photo by Taylor Jones/for The Daily Texan By Thomas D. Lee Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — As you make the three-and-a-half mile jaunt off 1-35 down Highway 79, a stadium seems to rise out of nowhere. Encased in dramatic masonry, the limestone exterior holds the Dell Diamond, the crown jewel of Round Rock. Home of Baseball America's Minor League Team of the Year, Round Rock's two-year, $25 million project has turned into the premier minor- league ballpark. The result is not just a state-of-the-art field, but also a sta­ dium full of games and activities that make the Diamond a half-baseball, half-camival experience. As you pass through the main gate underneath the Dell Diamond sign, the field opens up before you in almost cinematic fashion. You gaze from behind home plate at the ameni­ ties this facility has to offer. From the children's areas to the Hooters stand and beer vendors, there's definitely something for everyone here. Making your way around the first- base side of the grandstand, you notice the closeness the stadium offers. Fans seated on the first row behind home plate are actually closer to the batter than the pitcher is.

Fans traditionally give money to play­ ers after they hit a home run, as the average salary of a minor-league ball player is around $25,000 annually.

There is also a trophy area show­ casing the organization's accomplish­ ments, as well as the shovel that was used to break the ground on the con­ struction site and some interesting autographed collectibles from Nolan Ryan. The trophy area leads into the newly added Railyard, where you can purchase Express merchandise. Making your way around the area beyond the outfield, you find a multi­ tude of family-oriented activities. This area includes a swimming pool, playground, sports court and a speed pitch area where kids can attempt to emulate their favorite Express pitcher. New in 2001 is the Dell Diamond Rock Climb, a 23-foot climb where parents and kids can race up the structure to see who can ring a cowbell first. Quite a few major-league stadiums have Front Row Grills from TGI Friday7s. The Dell Diamond's version of this is Bubba's Bam, a "cantina- styled" version of the popular Texas restaurant Lone Star Café, with a shortened version of their normal menu. There are also stands throughout the stadium serving up Pok-E-Joe's barbecue, Hooters wings and fries, as well as a Hall of Fame Café serving all the usual ballpark goodies. What would a baseball game be without a hot dog? The berm, the grass beyond the outfield walls, is used for general- admission seating where a family can bring a blanket and sit together for a unique view of the game. It wraps around both bullpens, mod­ eled after the Baltimore Orioles' Camden Yards. The walkway from the team club­ houses to the field has an opening where fans gather before and after games to get autographs of their favorite players. A popular trend in sporting events involves promotions to reward fans for their patronage. The Express give away a variety of things such as free T-shirts, a photo of the team or a Nolan Ryan bobble-head doll. Before the game starts, the giant video screen plays Round Rock high­ lights to excite the fans. Just before the introduction of the players, a Little League team takes the field to help welcome the Express. And now the team is in the midst of another league title. As the defend­ ing Texas League champions, the Express have won the first half of this year's Western Division title. Last year, the Dell Diamond shat­ tered the Texas League record and set a new Double-A record for atten­ dance by drawing an average of 9,430 per game. Comparatively, the Montreal Expos draw approximately 4,500 per game. It truly is an amazing thing that a baseball stadium can evoke images of style and class. And when young and old alike visit the Dell Diamond, they are often touched with a little bit of both. Former owner apologizes lor Disco Demolition Night o By The Associated Press MIAMI — More than two decades after baseball's biggest marketing blunder, promoter Mike Veeck apol­ ogized Thursday night for the infa­ mous Disco Demolition Night at Chicago's Comiskey Park. Veeck, now a marketing consultant for the Florida Marlins, asked Harry Wayne Casey, better known as KC of KC and the Sunshine Band, to accept his apology on behalf of the entire disco world. "I want to make it right," Veeck said in a brief ceremony before Florida's game against the New York Yankees. "I want to tell you right from the bottom of my leisure suit that I'm sorry." Veeck's statement — coming exactly 22 years after the original Disco Demolition Night — was shown on the stadium's big screen and was part of the Marlins' Salute to Disco Night, in which they asked fans to dress up in disco-era attire. Veeck's 1979 promotion had much different results. After hearing that a local radio station was blowing up disco records and drawing large crowds to watch, Veeck decided to do the same between games of a White Sox doubleheader. Veeck held a meeting at the stadi­ um the morning of July 12, letting security and management know they would need to be prepared for 35,000 fans. About 80,000 showed up, 60,000 inside the park and another 20,000 outside. Between games, Veeck's crew blew up thousands of disco records in a Dumpster and used fire­ works for added effect. "It was great until 10,000 people ran on the field and we had to forfeit the game," Veeck said. The game was just the fourth for­ feit in major league baseball history. "After that, I didn't work for 10 years in baseball," Veeck said. "It backfired, and I took the heat. And it cost me personally. I went down the sewer. KC wasn't the only one whose gravy train stopped. I didn't work in baseball until 1989." The promotion was criticized throughout the disco community. "It wasn't a very nice thing to do," Casey said. "There was no reason or call for it. It was a direct hit on myself and other artists who did that for a living. I didn't bash his baseball team."

Harris/Daily Texan Staff Missions drop Express, 4-3 By Garland Levtt Daily Texan Staff ROUND ROCK — Fans who enjoyed the fireworks and festivities at Wednesday night's Double-A All-Star Game were again treated to a great game Thursday night. Unfortunately, this game was not an exhibition, and Express fans savored little as the San Antonio Missions held off the Round Rock Express, 4- 3, at the Dell Diamond. Carlos Hernandez pitched seven strong innings for Round Rock, yielding only two earned runs to go with five strikeouts. And Kevin Burns hit a game-tying three-run home run for the Express after seven innings. "[Hernandez] had his velocity where he wanted it to be tonight," Round Rock reliev­ er James Lira said. "It was a nice perform­ ance, and it would have been better if we would have gotten the win for him." Lira replaced Hernandez to start the eighth. Lira loaded the bases by hitting Greg Conners, and with one out walked Craig Kuzmic to score Willie Bloomquist and put the Missions at a 4-3 lead. "I couldn't throw any strikes, and I fell behind the hitters," Lira said. "We fell behind and battled back. I tried to keep the team in the game, but a couple walks hurt me." After three hitless innings each by Hernandez and San Antonio pitcher Rafael Soriano, San Antonio broke through in the fourth. Bloomquist collected his first of three hits on the night with a sharp double to left to open the inning, barely beating the throw to second by Jason Lane. Uoomquist scored on Craig Kuzmic's sac­ rifice fly to give the Missions a 1-0 lead, but Express catcher Chris Tremie made a heads- up play, tagging Bo Robinson at third base to end the Missions threat. With two outs in the bottom of the fifth, Round Rock finally collected its first hit of the night on a single to right by Royce Huffman. '"We weren't swinging the bats early," Bums said. "It's tough to go out there and get 15 hits every game. You're going to have these kind of games now and then." San Antonio added to its lead in the Sixth when Bloomquist hit a sharp ground ball to Charley Carter at first that scored Castillo. The Missions went up 3-0 in the inning on a sacrifice fly to deep left by Steve Foley that scored Kenny Kelly. In the bottom of the sixth, Round Rock's Eric iruntlett singled to start the inning. With one out, Lane singled to left. Bruntlett and Lane then stole second and third on Soriano's first offering to Kevin Bums. On the very next pitch, Bums lifted a 92-mph fastball from Soriano to right field to tie the game at three. The Express' runs were the first earned runs given up in 28 innings by the Missions pitching staff. Bums' home run also repre­ sented a disappointing end to Soriano's night.
