Zapata and Ben Heath Daily Texan Staff With the harvest moon nowhere in sight, the remote Oak Grove Cemetery at O ld Spicewood Springs Road stood dark and deserted on I lalloween night. Several slanting tombstones lined the neglected graveyard, strewn with weeds that stood about knee-high Several large oak trees with v\ ildly twisted and tangled brant hes hovered in the darkest shadows of the poor­ ly lit cemetery. Brian McGuire, a U T alumnus and former visitor of O ak Grove, said he was once chased away from the cemetery by w hat he termed "Satanists." "W e drove up to the grave­ yard, and there was a car sitting there," he said. After M cG u ire drove by the car and looked in the window, the car started to follow him d o w n the road. The chase intensified as M cG u ire neared Mopac. "I was running red lights, and we got on Mopac near 2222, and I was going 90 in a little Honda," he said. "The guy and the girl were wearing all black and had an upside down cross hanging from the rearview mirror," he said. M cGuire said that he lost the other car after they pulled up beside him. The m ysterious burial site doesn't resemble a traditional graveyard — all the graves, including those dating as far back as 1922, are marked bv large mounds of dirt resembling the outlines of the bodies that lie beneath them. Fresh dirt is placed on the graves after heavy rains, which flood a nearby creek. McGuire, w ho has been famil­ iar w ith the graveyard since he was 12 years old, said it became a sort of hobby of his to show off the burial site to friends w ho had never seen it before. He said the experience was often so frightening that some of his friends w ould n't even go through the cemetery gate, marked by a "N o trespassing" sign. "The fun part was having dif­ ferent goals," he said. "Just getting out of the car was one. Then we'd try to make it to the back fence." In Ju ly of 1991 the A u stin reported American-Statesman that nestled behind the cemetery was a vacant house that dis­ played markings considered by some to be "Satanic symbols." " M y theory about the whole thing is that the myth has been going for a long time, so there's a lot of activity out there," McGuire said, "and that's what makes it so creepy."

City expects hundreds at parade Student hopes to be ‘inspiration’ HOLIDAY, FROM 1 most of all, being gay people of color," said Ixchel Rosal, arts director for A l LGO . Last month, A LT .G O w as denied funding by the Texas Department of Health, crippling the group's project by taking aw a y w hat amounted to more than $80,000 ewer the last five years. The celebration will take a dif­ ferent tone because of the num­ ber of Austinites potentially out of health care if A IT G O shuts its doors, Rosal said. "M o re than likely w e w ill be seeing an increase in those types of things in the next few years — people more prone to issues of death and violence because of the racism and the classist oppression," Rosal saici. Tomorrow, A I, LG O w ill host a celebration for Austin communi­ ty members w ith poetry and altars dedicated to lost loved ones and w ith traditional Mexican dances. A l.L G O dubbed the cele­ bration "joteando con la calaca/' a "queentied celebration of the dead," Rosal said. Vincent Tovar of Acción Zapatista said the celebrations mark a time to remember those killed in Chiapas in Mexico. "W e're not having our own event, but wherever w e go, the A Z has a presence," Tovar, an education senior, said. "W e want it to focus [on] those w'ho have recently died in Chiapas and to show' that there are people dying for the movement and for the cause." A Z showed the documentary Digna T hursday night at St. Edw ards Universitv. The film is dedicated to the life of Digna Ochoa, an attorney and human rights activist w ho fought for the people of C hiapas and was assassinated last September. Tovar said raising aw'areness anci educating people about the cause are important facets of the celebration. "It's a celebration of the dead, but w e alw ays want to go beyond it just being a part)'," Tovar said. "W e take these fig­ ures and demonstrate how effec­ tive they are in supporting the movement, at supporting indige­ nous people around the wrorld." The city w ill hold a parade starting on the Plaza Saltillo on Comal Street and ending at the Mexic-Arte Museum on C on­ gress. H erlinda Zam ora, museum educator at Mexic-Arte, said the city is expecting 800 to 1,000 peo­ ple at the parade, but said the mood of the event w ill remain family-oriented. "It's not a political thing for us, it's a family event," Zamora said. "This is a community event and a very personal thing." BOARD, FROM 1 system. justice A d viso ry Board must be under the age of 24. Garrett said he applied for the board position on the Internet and hoped for the best. " I wanted the opportunity to do something I could be proud of and expand my horizons," Garrett said. Garrett said he is surprised he w as chosen for the post. "I'm sure there w ere m any qualified applicants," Garrett said. "I'm just happy m y applica­ tion stood out." Past volunteer activities w ith the Y M C A , the Hands on Housing project, Martin Luther King, jr. Volunteer Day events, as well as excellent grades, are factors that helped Garrett land a position on the board. Although hesitant to call him ­ self a role model, Garrett said he hopes to be a positive example for juveniles in the Texas justice "B e in g that I haven't been involved in the juvenile justice system and that I've kind of taken the straight path, so to speak, I hope that maybe I can be an inspiration to some of them," Garrett said. Garrett said he hopes his back­ ground and experiences w'ill bring a new perspective to the board. "They're looking for opinions, and [I'm ] w illing to voice m y opinions," Garrett said. Some issues Garrett said he w ill likely face as a board mem­ ber are the increasing number of minorities in the juvenile justice system, as w ell as the death penaltv for those w ho commit crimes as minors. "Youth members have made significant contributions as far as the priorities w e set forth to the governor and the Legislature," said Charles Brawner, chairman ot the juvenile justice Advisory Board. "It adds diversity to the board." Young board members can also serve as role models to those in the justice system, juvenile Braw ner said. "W e let the youth members talk to them and encourage them," Braw ner said. "It shows the kids that there is hope out there, that it's not just a dark pit." the juvenile justice A d viso ry com­ mittee, the governor appoints members of the U T Board of Regents.

Police used tear gas to dis­ perse a small group of stone- throwing demonstrators among the more than 8,000 marchers. The youths later set fire to a parked car and damaged three other vehicles, police said. Other protesters burned American and European Union flags and joined in chants against President Bush.

West Bank — Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat warned Thursday against any U.S. strike on Iraq, saying it would have catastrophic conse­ quences in the Middle East and urged resolving the conflict through the United Nations. In a joint interview with Associated Press Television News and an Israeli TV station, Arafat also predicted the Israel- Palestinian conflict will worsen now that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon depends on far-right and religious parties to cling to power. Arafat also said he remains committed to achieving peace with Israel despite two years of fighting and said he considers suicide attacks against Israeli civilians to be immoral. Russia: N. Korea not forthcoming enough MOSCOW — In a sharp change of course, Russia on Thursday accused North Korea of being insufficiently forthcoming, about its alleged nuclear weapons program, the Interfax news agency reported. The United States said earlier this month that North Korean offi­ cials acknowledged they had a nuclear weapons program during talks with visiting Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly in Pyongyang on Oct. 3-5. A U.S. official then went to Russia to present Moscow with evidence of the alleged uranium enrichment program. Moscow reacted with caution, saying it would like to independ­ ently check the information first. Members of Palestinian group killed in blast GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Three members of the Palestinian mili­ tant group Hamas were killed Thursday in a blast that appeared to have been caused by a bomb that went off prema­ turely. Another six people were injured in the blast, which occurred in the garage of a house in a crowd­ ed Gaza City neighborhood. Two of the wounded, also Hamas members, were in serious condi­ tion, medical officials said.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms confirmed that the same Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle was involved, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. W ith the match, the same rifle has been tied to shootings in four states. Earlier Thursday, Alabama authorities said the weapon was linked to a September liquor store robbery and killing.

The disclosure once again thrusts Pitt in the middle of a polit­ ical maelstrom, even as the Bush administration seeks to restore investor and consumer confidence in the roller-coaster markets just days before the midterm elections. New absentee ballots ordered in Minnesota ST. PAUL, Minn. — In a partial victory for the Democrats, Minnesota’s Supreme Court ordered local election officials Thursday to send out new absentee ballots to people who ask to change their Senate vote in the wake of Sen. Paul Wellstone's death. The ruling fell well short of what the Democrats wanted: throwing out all absentee votes already cast and mailing new ballots to every­ one, whether they asked for a new one or not. The decision came after former Vice President Walter Móndale kicked off a lightning five-day cam­ paign against Republican Norm Coleman as the Democrats' last- minute stand-in for Wellstone, who was killed in a plane crash last *■ week while locked in a tight re-elec­ tion race vital to control of the Senate. EU: Tobacco giant illegally smuggled cigarettes to Iraq NEW YORK — Tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds smuggled cigarettes into Iraq in a scheme that violated U.S. sanctions and enriched both Saddam Hussein’s regime and a Kurdish separatist group accused of terrorism, the European Union alleges in a lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in federal court in New York, accuses the tobacco company of working with organized crime and terror organizations and laundering the profits through New York banks. It said the scheme cheated the EU out of billions of dollars in tax rev­ enue. R.J. Reynolds called the lawsuit “completely absurd.” The EU made similar accusations in a lawsuit that accused R.J. Reynolds of evading taxes through cigarette smuggling. That case was dismissed on Feb. 19 by a federal judge, who ruled that the U.S. courts have no jurisdiction over for­ eign tax.

We attem pted to speak with each candidate and sent questionnaires asking them about specific issues in their respective races to m ake our decisions. E ndorsem ents do not consider party affil­ iation, only the qualifications, ideals and plans each candidate has for the office he or she seeks. In some races we found there is m ore than one good choice. In oth­ ers, the candidates are so slimy that you might need gloves to m ark your ballot. Regardless, we have m ade the best choices we could m ake. It is u p to you to make your best choices at the voting booth by Nov. 5, if you haven't already. Part II of endorsem ents will appear on M onday with ou r recom­ m e n d a t i o n s for the Texas H ouse of Representatives, Texas Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS — The com ptroller is chief tax collector, oversees the state's treasury and bills, and tells the Legislature how m uch m oney is in the budget every two years. A lthough incum bent Republican Carole Keeton Rylander recently forecasted a $5 billion shortfall in the state's budget, there is no other candidate that w ould make it w orth voting her out. D em ocrat Marty Akins, ,i law yer and former UT quarterback, doesn't have the qualifi­ cations to save him from the obvious "M arty dropped the ball on that one" jokes if he fum bled the policy. G reen candidate Ruben L. Reyes has some interesting ideas about instituting a living w age and allow­ ing casinos on native American lands. But neither Reyes nor 1 ibertarian Bowie Ibarra have the experience or practical ideas to apply to the com ptroller's office. For this race, we have no choice but to endorse Carole Keeton Rylander. LAND COMMISSIONER — This has been an exceptionally good- natured race with at least tw o qualified candidates discussing solid issues in Texans' land interests. In fact, Republican Jerry Patterson and Democrat D avid Bemsen are both so w orthy of endorsem ent that we were unable to choose one over the other, and we encourage voters to choose one based on some nuances in the candidates' plans. Patterson v, ants to step up oil and gas drilling on state lands, increasing oil roy­ alties paid into the Perm anent School Fund that funds the education of children in Texas. Bemsen w ould also m anage oil and gas drilling if elected, but with a more environm ental mindset. Texans can't real­ ly lose w ith either candidate. The Green Party's Michael B. M clnemey and Libertarian Barbara H ernandez are also running for this post. AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER — City and country folk alike should take interest in the agriculture commissioner if they like to eat fresh produce or have superm arket scanners charge the right prices. In this race, incum bent Republican Susan Combs is running against Democrat Tom Ramsey, Libertarian Vincent J. May and the Green Party's Jane W oodward Elioseff. Com bs has been criticized for focus­ ing too m uch time and energy on public relations for Texas produce, but that is part of her job, and w e believe she deserves another term. For this race we endorse Susan Combs. RAILROAD COMMISSIONER — In contrast to other races dom i­ nated by big-party candidates, the position of railroad commissioner m ay be best served by a Green Party candidate, Charles L. Mauch. As incum bent Republican Michael Williams and Democrat Sherry Boyles discuss w ays to drill more oil, Mauch, a retired engineer, pro­ motes conservation of oil and gas and understands the state s energy problems Libertarian Nazirite Flores Perez has not show n m uch ini­ tiative in pursuing this race. For railroad commissioner, we endorse Charles L. Mauch.

If this nogift pol­ icy were enforced, it would eliminate what little humanity remains at the University. Frankly, I don't know of any department which doesn't have a holiday party and gift exchanges, or where we don’t take up a dona­ tion for the custodians. One school I know makes a point of collecting funds to give to their custodians. What’s gone wrong with the holi­ day spirit here at the University? I was always taught that we help out those who make less. Maybe Human Resource Services should send out a notice to everyone (include it in our paystubs, appropri­ ately) and tell us to be less charita­ ble, less concerned, less humane. Who cares about our underpaid custodians (and others) anyway? Well, I do! And so do a lot of faculty, staff, and students. So if the administration wants to enforce this nogift policy, come arrest me for being charitable. Bill Woods UT staff Tribute tainted by lack of tact Mark Whipple’s column on Oct. 31 ("In memory of Wellstone’) was a rousing tribute to Wellstone’s legacy until he suggested that the “wrong plane went down last Friday.” Whipple seems to believe that it is wholly acceptable to infer that in a just world another plane carrying political opportunists and oil men would have gone down instead. This is a sad and ugly tack to take to conclude a eulogy for somebody of Wellstone's stature. Whipple does all of us a disservice by empowering those who disagree with progressives to label all of us | hate-mongering liberal fascists, j Astonishingly, Whipple seems to reflect the opinion of Tom Barnand, a Twin Cities talk radio host, who wished a similar fate on Wellstone before he passed away. On Sept. 17, Barnand of KQRS interviewed Norm Coleman. When asked his opinion of Wellstone, Barnand said, “I hate that little prick, and I hope he drops dead.” No person of char­ acter or conscience should ever demean him or herself to such a base attack. God help all of us if Whipple and Barnand’s opinions represent acceptable political dis­ course. Jonathan Evans Mathematics junior Don’t sweat the small stuff I want Barry Levitch’s life ("Take th... Uh, Never Mind”, Fihng Line, Oct. 31). Apparently, it’s so pleas­ ant that all he has to complain about is what title is chosen for the Firing Line letters. So what if someone decides to put a humor­ ous spin on our letters in the titles. This doesn't take away from the seriousness (or lack thereof) of the content of the letters; they remain unchanged. Any “semi-intelligent and partially-educated” reader of the Texan should be able to realize that the titles are not necessarily author-provided. Most of the letters (including the ones I’ve had print­ ed) are little more than ranting, any­ way. If that doesn’t deserve a little levity, I don’t know what does. I mean, what can be funnier than a letter from one side of an issue pointing fingers at the opposition and calling them names, followed by the other side doing the exact same thing. That’s comedy, folks! Maybe I’ll get behind you on this, Barry. I, too, am a frequent Firing Line submitter. I'll make this issue a priority right after I stop worrying about my financial problems, my homeowner’s insurance, how the hell I’m going to pay for next semester, the homeless, impending war, world hunger, the failing economies of the world, the envi­ ronment, nuclear holocaust, alien invasion, and the sudden implosion of all the universe into a single point of matter so dense that it can no longer contain itself and explodes into a new universe, and everything else there will be to worry about in said new universe. Take THAT! Richard Crippen Computer science senior Falwell is on his own Mr. Haygood, As a person who was raised in an evangelical Christian church, I can firmly say that your article yes­ terday (“Israel policy shaped by Religious Right”) was rather mis­ leading about what we believe. We do not actively seek to support Israel just to reach “the End Times.” First, evangelical Christians do not adhere to the teaching of Jerry Falwell as your article would sug­ gest. He has his own support base of Christians of course, but saying that Falwell speaks for all Christians is like saying Student Government speaks for all UT stu­ dents. In the church where I grew up, Falwell was laughed at and seen as much farther right than us. Nobody in my church took him seri­ ously. Basing your judgment of an entire religious group, and its views on Israel and Muslims, by Jerry Falwell's statements is not news or facts; it is one person’s opinion. Second, evangelical Christians do believe that the nation of Israel will play a roll in the “End Times,” but that does not mean we want Israel to continue fighting, shedding blood or being “characters in our story.” Russia is also believed to be a part of the End Times, attacking Israel near the end of the world, but evan­ gelical Christians do not actively try to induce Russia into war. Perhaps, (this may be shocking) evangelical Christians support Israel for a num ber of other reasons, such as the fact that it is the only democracy in the Middle East, they share the same values as we do, and (shock) Christians want to make sure Jews have a safe homeland and are never again persecuted like they were in the 1940s. The majority of Christians, even evangelicals, base their views of foreign policy on their political views, not on their religious views. In closing, there are some evan­ gelicals that are “fringe religious zealots,” but they no more repre­ sent our faith than Osama bin Laden represents all Muslims.

By Nimlsh Desai Daily Texan Columnist The objective of the A ustin's Child Protective Services is to "supplem en t the State oí Texas Child Protective Services by pro­ viding services to protect children from abuse or neglect," according to its Web site O ne w ould expect that it parents or guardians w ere abusing children, CPS w ould step in to protect the chil­ dren. To ensure there art» no abus­ es of pow er, w e w ould also expect CPS to have a clear set of guide­ lines b y w hich to d eterm in e w hich children ought to be taken out of their parents' care. their The national group CPS Watch, and the local group Parents Get United, exist solely because they believe that CPS agencies are increasingly n eglecting these guidelines, or are rew riting them so that they elim inate any chance of accountability. In Austin, the allegations are as disturbing as anyw here else. O ne w om an has had every one of her in children removed and p u t into state or foster care, despite never having h ad any allegations of abuse brought against her. A fam­ ily in W illiam son C ounty w it­ nessed their tw o-m onth-old baby taken because it had diaper rash. Fortunately, they were able to get their child back (though a poorer the sam e situation family w ou ld likely h av e h ad worse luck), and have since left the state. A nother couple just m onths ago h ad their new born child taken as they attem pted to leave Brackenridge H ospital, based on a CPS emergency' removal order, which requires no signature from a judge. Their previous child w as rem oved because a CPS case­ w orker felt that the hotel they were living in at the time did not count as sufficient housing. Aaron Reed, a spokesm an for the agency, says that for the most part casew orkers act "entirely appropriately," and asserts that overall "w e h ave a very' good sys­ tem, w ith lots of checks and bal­ ances." Yet, stories such as these abound am ong the m any families that com prise P arents G et United. They believe that their children were taken solely because they o f CPS’s aut to remove At the very least, there should he a reevaluation children from their parents based solely on an “at-risk.” profile, a practice many parents believe is becoming common practice. w ere deem ed to be "at-risk" by a CPS caseworker, w ith a rubber stam p signature from a judge to follow. And as evidenced by the exam ples above, "at-risk" can take on some far-fetched m ean­ ings — from being the child of a poor couple to being a child w ith a case of diaper rash. Robin Cash formed Parents Get U nited in late 2001, after her ow n children were taken from her. She p laced an ad in The A ustin Chronicle asking, "D o you feel CPS has hurt your family?" and received 1,000 e-mail responses w ithin a week. Today the group has grow n to over 250 active members. "I hear from people all over Texas," she said in an inter­ view, "even som e people from N ew Mexico and Louisiana." She estimates that over 95 percent of the cases her group is involved w ith are "at-risk" cases, and con­ firm s that parents w ho have never been accused of abuse have had their children taken indefi­ nitely, most often through the use of em ergency removal orders. Of course, as is the case with all g overnm ent agencies, citizens dgment t m u st accept that mistakes will be m ade, despite the callousness such a statem ent show s tow ards the victim s of these m istakes. However, as with cases of police brutality, if repeated too m any times, mistakes by CPS begin to resem ble deliberate abuses of power. This is shockingly true in Florida, w here the "child welfare agency...is unable to account for about 1,000 children in its sys­ tem ," according to a June 4 report on CNN.com, and w here this sam e agency "em ploys at least 183 peo­ ple w ho have been arrested and punished for an array of felonies including child molestation, child abuse, sex crimes, d ru g dealing, even welfare fraud against the agency itself," according to a Sept. 7 story in the Miami Herald. Yet what, appears to be a pat­ tern, perhaps only in its nascent stages here in Austin, elicits little concern from local officials. In fact, A ustin parents w ho have trouble w ith CPS have turned pri­ m arily to PGU and Precinct 4 county com missioner candidate M ike Hanson, who has dedicated m uch of his time tow ard helping people w ho he believes are being abused by the system. "A lot of times these victims don't know their rights," he says, also point­ ing out that there seems to be a disturbing lack of due process w hen CPS uses its emergency removal pow er. At the very least, there should be a reevaluation of CPS's author­ ity to rem ove children from their parents based solely on an "at- risk" profile, a practice many par­ ents believe is becom ing common practice. T his is especially im por­ tant considering that children are more likely to be abused in foster care and state care, a point well evidenced by m any studies and by Florida's horrific travails. We should also see to it that the peo­ ple in P arents G et United w ho have had their children taken, but have not h a d allegations against them substantiated or even intro­ duced, regain custody of their kids. Child w elfare agencies have an im portant role to play in our city, but a lack of accountability threat­ ens this role as well as the families it should be helping.

Compiled by Shelley Li-Hua Shan Addiction study examines brain Researchers look at neurological effects of substances By Habeab Kurd! Daily Texan Staff Researchers at the U n iversity have recently discovered that addictive substances act on and m ay even rew ire specific areas of the brain. Ad riana Alcantara, a psycholo­ gy and neuroscience assistant professor, has been studying w hat she calls “ the universe of the b rain ."H er most recent re­ search has focused on an area of the brain associated w ith pleas­ ure and addiction called the nucleus accumbens. A lcan tara and M onica Ber- langa, a doctoral candidate in the Institute for Neuroscience, have taken their research even further by investigating addiction at the single neuronal level. T h ey conducted a cocaine stud y on rats in collaboration w ith Christine D uvauchelle's lab­ oratory in the College of Phar­ macy. The team discovered that upon a rat's first exposure to cocaine, cholinergic intem eurons w ere activated in the brain, and w ith every successive exposure, m ore neurons w ere activated, w hich links the cells to addiction. The link is made because the neurotransm itter dopam ine, w hich has been linked to pleas­ ure and addiction in m any stud­ ies, is released in the nucleus accumbens. The hum an brain is very plas­ tic, m eaning any num ber of things make it susceptible to tem­ porary or perm anent changes. In previous studies, the cholinergic cells have been linked to learn­ ing, w hich causes synaptic re­ w irin g in developing and adult brains, Alcantara said in a w ritten statement. Carlton Erickson, a neurobiol­ ogy professor, said he hopes that addicts w ill look at this finding and realize that the addiction is not entirely their fault, because this inform ation takes aw ay the stigma, anger and denial associ­ ated w ith failed attempts at quit­ ting. "T h is is a sm all, but powerful piece of evidence that enhances the research of the past 10 years," Erickson said. The neurons act as an interface between the nucleus accumbens and the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain involved in higher order decision-making processes. If these neurons are rew ired d u r­ ing the developm ent of addic­ tion, it could mean that high-risk im pulsive behavior is reinforced or that v ita l decision-m aking processes involved in inhibition of those behaviors could be inter­ fered w ith, Alcantara said. “This is a sm all, but powerful piece of evi­ dence that e n h a n ce s the research of the past 1 0 y e a rs .” Carlton Erickson, Neurobiology Professor Erickson said pharmaceutical companies could use these findings along with other information to help or even prevent drug addic­ tion. Behavioral prevention pro­ grams for treatment of abuse and addiction could also utilize the findings. Alcantara and Berlanga were not available for comment.

"W e do have jurisdiction to look into off-cam pus incidents, but we rarely use that jurisdiction." The U n iversity evaluates each case independently in order to determ ine w hether the person charged poses a danger to the U n ive rsity com m unity, Dalton said. "It depends on the ind ivid ual circum stances of the case," D alton said. " If the crim e is m anslaughter or something acci­ dental, and there is less likeli­ hood of the crim e being commit­ ted again, then the U n iversity w ould be likely to get involved." less Dalton could not comment on G rad y's case specifically due to the Fam ily Education Rights and Privacy Act, but said there are a number of options for students who and involved in trial. incarcerated are "T h ey alw ays have the option of w ithdraw ing from classes or from the U n ive rsity," Dalton said.

He acknowledged that he should have called police as soon as she fell, but instead he picked up his pants and left the room. By Elizabeth Esfahani Daily Texan Staff Two dozen UT students dressed as tomatoes, cheerleaders and CEOs gathered outside of the iaco Bell on Guadalupe Thursday in protest of the low wages paid to the tomato pickers the company buys from. The protest, organized by the Campus Greens and Concerned Citizens and Activists, kicked off a four-day national boycott move­ ment across universities and labor and com m unity organizations that will least 40 include at protests demanding the workers be paid higher wages. "1 lopefully we can raise aware­ ness of the boycott of Taco Bell going on," history senior John Nation said. "The tomato pickers there in Florida are making terri­ ble wages — they are making just about $7,5(X) a year— and, because of exemptions on the federal min­ imum wage for agricultural work­ ers, they are being paid what is considered half the poverty line. " The protests are part of "Boycott the Bell" campaign organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a nonprofit organization based in Florida that represents the pickers. The boycott, which began in April 2001, was called when Taco Bell the group's numerous ignored attempts to communicate their griev­ ances, said Julia Perkins, a member of the Student / Farmworker Alliance. "Essentially what the situation is for farm workers is sub-poverty wages," Perkins said. "It is one of the worst paid jobs with the fewest benefits in the United States," she said. The organization is calling for the corporation to pay one penny more per pound of tomatoes or pass the cost on to consumers by raising the price of chalupas by one one-hundredth of a cent. "That would effectively double the salary of all people picking toma­ toes," said Perkins. Taco Bell contends that because it is the consumer of the product and not the grower, the company can't be responsible for the wages. But the Immokalee coalition feels the the corporation has that power, the money and the respon­ sibility to sit down with workers, bring growers to the table, and pay one more penny per pound. While Taco Bell did sit down with the coalition's leaders on March 11 to exchange their points of view, the company has yet to respond with any statement or possible solutions since. In die meantime, the group hopes that their continued boycotts will help consumers make responsible chokvs and catch the attention of Taoo Bell exec- Picture courtesy of Brooke Moreland Bob Libel, a communications senior; Andrea Guttin, an English senior and Brazos Price, a psychology sen­ ior, stand in protest outside Taco Bell on Guadalupe Street Thursday.

Dan O'Shea, research associate at the Ray Marshall center said that anti-sweatshop movements such as the Immokalee coalition have potential to make a difference. "Since Seattle, there has been more consciousness of the interconnect- edess of what happens elsewhere and here," said O'Shea "Minimum wage is a desirable outcome. If an economy is productiv t • and eft irient, there should be enough lott over in >m die value of pro­ ducto h i to pay people at least a livable wage." ELECTION 2002 NAACP: Some voters being denied rights By Stacy Wright Daily Texan Staff The Texas NAACP will estab­ lish an Election Day headquarters to m onitor elections, promote voter participation and educate black voters of potential irregular­ ities at polling locations, the group announced Thursday. After conducting a voter intim­ idation hearing, the organization found several voting violations around Texas. People who had the legitim ate right to vote were denied it, witnesses in the hearing testified. "In Dallas County, new E-slate machines malfunctioned, causing African-American voters' ballots to be misread," said Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The voting machines in ques­ tion have been fixed, said Ann McGeehan, the Texas director of elections. "W e have taken measures to it doesn't happen m ake sure again," McGeehan said. Bledsoe said complications like th ese are happening in precincts where high numbers of blacks are registered to vote. it "1 don't know if you can claim that in those just happens precincts [with a high number of m inority voters]," McGeehan said. "From what we see, the counties are doing the best that they can, and we hope that through communication we can the fix problems that occur." While Texas has a voter hot line to provide voters with informa­ tion on their rights, Bledsoe said some people encountered a busy line after several tries. McGeehan said the state has a to phone bank of attorneys answer calls. "They do sometimes get really busy, and the line might be busy," M cGeehan said. "But w e do encourage voters to call back the 1-800 line." Meanwhile, the NAACP will monitor elections by providing information on fighting voter intimidation and educating black voters on polling irregularities. "We are trying to prevent in Texas the similar things that hap­ pened in Florida," said Claude Foster, NAACP regional coordi­ nator. The NAACP will have coordi­ nators on hand to evaluate polling activities and distribute complaint forms at precincts with a high number ot black voters. The NAACP will also have a lawyer on duty to respond to any com­ plaints of voting irregularity. "We will not tolerate this," said Georgia Noone, NAACP south­ west regional director. "We have worked hard to educate voters, now we want them to get to the polls." Voters with questions nr com­ plaints may the Texas call Secretary of State's voter hot line at 1-800-252-VOTE (8683). Funds will let program continue CITY COUNCIL, FROM 1 "The increase in funds will enable us to be more competitive with other Texas cities and attract more nationally recognized artists," Bedgood said. The Art in Public Places Program is working to develop projects that will enhance the transportation areas of the city, including sidewalks, bus stops, streets and bridges, said Martha Peters, program administrator for the Art in Public Places Program. She said that artists for new proj­ ects are encouraged to incorpo­ rate materials from glass, lighting and photography. "In the past we have been lim­ ited to traditional art, and now we are expanding our projects for the artist to create an atmos­ phere in the city," Peters said. Past projects funded by the1 pro­ gram include works for the Austin Convention Grita; Austin-Beigstrom International Airport and the Parque Zaragoza Recreation Center. "With our new projects we are not talking about another mural or sculpture to put inside of a build­ ing, but art that will reflect the City of Austin," Peters said. "We want the artist's design to not look like a generic street, but to reflect the neighborhood through things like tree benches and historical refer­ ences." The increased funding for the program will not be taken from the general budget, but w ill be provid­ ed from the results of the city's next bond election. "The future projects will not take place until we gain the funds from next year's bond election, but with the appropriation of the new funds, we w ill be able to keep the program going for the future," said Megan VVeiler, cultural affairs representa­ tive for the Austin Parks and Recreation Department. Locations for upcoming projects include creating a children's gar­ den in Town Lake Park and new' pieces for City Hall. "Gur goal is to develop projects that will make a moa* visible state­ ment to tourists and local citizens, Weiler said. Laycock: Qualification is an issue SMITH, FROM 1 Smith said affirmative action keeps minorities from being fully recognized for their accomplish­ ments. "There's those minorities who got [into law school] on their merit, who would have been there without affirmative action," he said. "It would be a cloud over their achievement." Smith said he doesn't believe affim lative action helps minonties. "Minorities were admitted to a school they were not prepared for academically," he said. Margaret Mirabal, Smith's Democratic opponent, may have similar or opposite opinions. But she won't say. Despite the Supreme Court rul­ ing, Mirabal said she believes can­ didates should not discuss their views on issues they may rule before. Therefore, she refuses to. Instead, Mirabal is running on her qualifications. She has been an appellate judge in Houston for nearly 14 years. Smith has never been a judge, but that doesn't matter, said David Rogers, a Hopwood plaintiff who is now Smith's campaign manager. "A lot of the people who went straight to the Supreme Court had never been judgt-s before," he said. Qualification is definitely an issue in this race, said Laycock. While he said Mirabal was very qualified, he called Smith "pro­ fessionally embarrassing." "I've seen him in court, and I've seen his briefs, and they're bad," he said, adding that, though there were many excellent lawyers rep­ resenting the Hopwood clients, Smith's work was like that of "another profession." M irabal handily won the Texas Bar Poll — in which lawyers pick their choice for judicial offices — 73 percent to Smith's 25 percent. In contrast, staunch Republican Greg Abbott won the poll for attorney general. Smith has had difficulty finding support among his own party. He defeated a Perry appointee, Xavier Rodriguez, in the primaries, knock­ ing one of the few Republican minorities off the ticket. Smith admitted that Perry had not been particularly supportive of him in the race. 1 lowrever, w ith the Place 4 race far down on the ballot in a Republican- leaning state, Mirabal may lost' because of straight-ticket voting.

BRIEFS Supreme Court to hear tribe’s appeal EL PASO, Texas — The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the Tigua Indians’ appeal of a lower court ruling that forced them to close their Speaking Rock Casino in February, a tribal spokesman said. The decision, made on Oct. 7. effectively ends the tribe’s court battle, spokesman Marc Schwartz said Wednesday. In 1995, the Supreme Court refused a Tigua request to hear a similar case. The Tiguas had been fighting Texas Attorney General John Cornyn’s efforts to close the casi­ no since he filed a lawsuit against the casino in 1999. A federal district court and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the attorney gen­ eral. The casino, which madp about $60 million each year, was the tribe’s main source of income in recent years. Money from the casino had been used to build homes, provide scholarships and provide health insurance. Group’s report tracks high school dropout rates Two of every five high school students who were freshmen four years ago dropped out and failed to graduate as scheduled last spring, according to a report released Thursday by a San Antonio think tank that tracks dropouts. About 143,175 students, or 39 percent of the 366,443 students in ninth-grade in 1998, weren’t around to graduate in May, according to a report by the Intercultural Development Research Association. That rate, known as ah attrition rate, decreased slightly from last year’s 40 percent. The associa­ tion's first report, for 1985-86, found a rate of 33 percent. It rose to a high of 43 percent in 1996-97 before leveling off. The group’s director hopes the report will move the state to do a better job of keeping students in school. Kickapoo tribal members occupy casino offices EAGLE PASS — Dozens of Kickapoo tribal members contin­ ued to occupy the tribe's casino and administrative offices Thursday, with no effort being made by law enforcement offi­ cers to evict them. Maverick County Sheriff Salvador Rios said the factional dispute over control of the Kickapoo tribal government has calmed since Wednesday. Rios said his office is watching the situation but doesn’t plan to take action before a scheduled hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in Del Rio to sort out the dispute. More than 200 Kickapoo occu­ pied the tribe’s Lucky Eagle Casino Wednesday. Deputies reported that some of the occu­ piers were armed, but there have been no reports of violence or arrests. AIDS patients may lose coverage under regulation FORT WORTH, Texas — As many as 20 percent of nearly 12,000 Texans who rely on a state program to get lifesaving AIDS drugs will lose their cover­ age if a proposed regulation goes into effect in a few months. Texas Department of Health officials, who proposed the more restrictive income cutoff and other changes, say a budgetary crisis gives them no choice. The state’s nearly $60 million program faces a $3 million short­ fall for this fiscal year, which ends next August. If the new regulation is final ¡zed, new enrollees would be affected immediately. An esti­ mated 2,500 people would lose coverage by August 2005. The Texas program, funded by state and federal dollars, is designed to be a safety net for people who c a n lg e t all their medications covered by Medicaid or earn slightly too much to quali­ fy for public assistance.

The three-match stretch, which culm inates with the highly-antici­ pated showdown against Nebraska next Saturday in Gregory Gym, begins with a difficult road test in Lawrence, Kan. on Saturday.

"T hey're fighting right now to be an N C A A Tournam ent team, and they have a lot of confidence against us," Elliott said. "T h ey played us really tight last match, and they beat us for the first time ever up at their place last year. So it's going to be a real challenge for us to go up there and play w ell."

The Longhorn w omen's cross country team will seek its fifth league title but its first in the Big 12 conference at Saturday's Big 12 Conference Champiimship. After finishing 12th in its race at the Oct. 19 NCAA Pre-Meet, the team gained more recogni­ tion. Texas enters the Big 12 Championship ranked No. 28 in the Oct. 22 FinishLynx Women's NCAA poll and No. 2 in this w eek's N C A A South Central Regional Coaches poll. According to head coach John Hayes, the team trained very hard this fall in preparation for this race. Ihe team pulled back on their training this week in order to have fresh legs for Saturday's race. The Longhorns will be run on the A.L. Gustin Golf Course at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The 6,000-meter race will begin at 10 a.m. Texas' only previous expenence at 6,000 meters this year came in the Blue Race at the NCAA Pre- National Invitational, where the team w'as led by junior Tal is Apud-Martinez. Martinez ended up in with a time of 20:59.5 and a 20th place finish at the Terre Haute, Ind. course where the NCAA championships are to be held. A native of Monclova, Mexico, Martinez won Texas' first two meets of the year at the Southwest Texas Invitational and Southwest Texas Classic. The team finished third last year's Big 12 C ham pionships in Norman, Okla. Texas scored 115 points, their best finish ever at the event. Colorado w on last year's race w'ith 33 points and Oklahoma State came in second w ith 75 points. Colorado is again the favorite this year. They are ranked No. 3 in this week's N CAA poll Missoun is the other Big 12 team featured on the national poll with a No. 11 ranking. Following the Big 12 jiaee.t, Texas' next race comes in two weeks at the Nov. 16 N C A A South Central Regional in Waco.

November 1, 2 0 0 2 Austin^ 1 * Phantom’ tradition to come to an end o i l It tsician emphasizes appreciation By Stephanie Weirrtraub Daily Texan S taff I he original 1925 film version ot The Phantom of the Opera w ill soon return to silence. Associate music professor Frank " H a p " Speller has been pounding on the University's 24- ton Visser-Roland pipe organ in accom panim ent to the picture each Hallow een since 1986, but the Austin tradition stops after his performance — the last of four on Saturday. Speller began the Hallow een extravaganza to save the U T G rea t O rgan Series — w h ich began in 1983 — and brings four recitals to the University each year. “ lie donates all of the m oney to the other performers that come in," said Peg Howison, a music performance senior. "So it's a real service to the school and to the Austin music community." Speller's wife Sue agrees. "1 think it's a wonderful gift that he's given to the U niversity and to the organ series," she said. Speller builds endurance for a month so that he can play the organ throughout the film. "Synchronization is over half the game," Speller sa id of his attempt to match the music with the scene's mood. "A n d I try to pick pieces that people can relate to." Speller's score includes the Beatles' "I Want to H o ld Your H and , "Row, Row, R o w Your Boat" and the U T football fam il­ iar, "The Eyes of Texas." But he chose to leave those tunes out when he played before crowds in Paris' Notre Dam e and London's Westminster Abbey. Each year, Speller's A u stin Hallow een performances have varied as he improvises between pieces. "I'm trying to sound real cam py and silly, and I just want everyone to have fun," Speller said. H e compared the mostly non- classical organ music he plavs for the Plumtoni show to a fine chef w h o is asked to toss hamburgers. The Tyler native has been a music professor of classical organ and harpsichord at the U niversity for 39 years. Speller said he teaches "the good stuff." "Fo r me, typical organ-plaving is not funeral parlor stuff," he said, referring to the Phantom shows. But Speller said he wants PHANTOM SCHEDULE Frank “ H a p” S peller will end his 1 6 year Halloween trade tion of playing the organ to the original Phantom o f the Opera film th is weekend at Bates Recital Hall. Friday 7 p.m . and 9 p.m. Saturday 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. the music to be accessible to non­ organ connoisseurs. "W e 'v e been too snooty — we really have," Speller joked of the organ elite. Organ music still holds reso­ nance today, Speller said. The instrument was invented around 250 B.C. "It was the eighth wonder of the world, I suppose," he said. "A n d the more people know about organ music, the more they're going to appreciate it Speller has to end the f lalloween performances because of their tax­ ing nature, but has no plans to stop teaching. Speller w on't be dressed up during the performances for fear of overheating, but hopes the audience w ill come in hill cos­ tume. The Friday and -Saturday shows w'ill be held at Bates Recital Hall at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. New digital audio may be copy-proof Frank Speller, an associate music professor, plays the organ in accompaniment to the silent film Phantom o f the Opera. The four performances at Bates Hall this Friday and Saturday, will m ark the final tim e Speller performs as the musical accompanist to Phantom for the UT Great Organ Series. N ew extra encoding to lock recordings, stop duplication, ripping By Ron Harris Associated Press S A N F R A N C IS C O — T w o new- digital audio disc formats touted b y the music industry for their stellar sound are nowhere near as consumer-friendly as regular old CDs: They're engineered to be copy- proof. The proposition thrills digital piracy-fearing record executives. But m any audiophiles are cool to the v irtu a l padlocks, w 'hich could prove the undoing of one or both formats. A b o u t 1,000 recordings are now available in Super A u d io C D or D VD -Audio. Both require special new' audio components and produce five-channel sound w ith superb clarity and d e fin i­ tion. Yet each format contains d ig i­ tal waterm arks — extra enco d­ ing designed to lock the record­ ings on the disc. The intent is to foil digital duplication and rip ­ ping to M P3 tiles. M oreover, there are no digital outputs on any S A C D or D V D - A u d io players now available, m aking them a tough sell despite the discs' higher tonal quality and fuller audio range. The A u d ib le Difference in Palo Alto, Calif., is refusing to sell S A C D or DVD-Audio p layers until manufacturers can ship a hybrid unit that plays both for­ mats as w ell as legacy C Ds in the highest quality sound available. "U ntil we see a product like that, we're sitting on the side­ lines and we're counseling our clients to sit on the sidelines," said Tim Fay, who sells high-end stereo equipment at the store. The Audible Difference has tested several units, Fay said. It found that the S A C D disc play­ back quality is superb, but the legacy CD playback w'as not. None of the 55 members of the Arizona Audiophile So cie ty w'ant players with these hard­ w are said Don Hoglund, the group's president. limitations, "Some of the members had them and sold them. T h ey got frustrated with the lack of avail­ ability' of titles and the analog outputs only," he said. Sony, which developed the S A C D format w ith Philips, says it w ill continue to make S A C D players without digital outputs until there's an industry stan­ dard for securing the digital audio stream. "W ith high-resolution audio, the need for secure interfaces becomes even greater, since the quality of audio on such formats as S A C D is virtually indistin­ guishable the master [tape]," said Sony spokesman D avid Migdal. from Panasonic hasn't incorporated digital outputs into its DVD-Audio players for the same reasons. Despite the intentions of the manufacturers to limit digital copies, consumers favor such uses for music. In a recent Gartner G2 survey, 88 percent ot respondents said they believed it legal to make copies ot Cl )s for personal back- up use while 77 percent felt they should be able to copy a C D for personal use in another device. The protections come just as prices for computer D V D burn­ ers have dropped to as little as $299. Techie tinkerers will likely also be looking to attack the copy­ protection schemes of DVD- A udio and S A C D just as the scheme for D V D m ovies was cracked several years ago. GartnerG2 analyst P.J. M cN ealy says the public should be fully informed about the copy protec­ tion aspects of these new discs. "1 don't think anybody per se is against copy protected CDs. I think they're against no-labeled copy protected C D s," M cN ealy said. The labels are optional at this p o in t N EED A JO B ? G a m the experience employers look for.

Marcio Jose Sanchez/ Associated Press Hand-carved works featured at exhibit From clothing to housewares, 100 years of artifacts give Austinites a look at Texas artisans, history By Robin Larson Daily Texan Staff The Center for Am erican H istory has more than 60 hand­ made objects on display in a new exhibit at the center's John A. Lomax Room. The exhibit is handmade for Texas and is characterized by a large number of hand-carved and painted figures. The objects are selections from the Winedale Decorative Arts Collection that were associated with the South Central Texas region of Fayette, Washington, Austin and Colorado counties. There was a strong presence of German settlers in the region, which accounts for many of the objects made by or for Gemían immigrants. The selection of objects are formed by craftsmanship, artistry, ingenuity and imaginative self- expression, said Kate Adams, associate director of the center and curator of the exhibit. "W e wanted to bring greater visibility to this wonderful exhib­ it for people of all ages," she said. Objects in the collection range from utilitarian housewares to hand-carved children's toys to clothing and accessories that reflect the history of Texas between 1850-1950. It also boasts utilitarian stoneware jars and crocks, includ­ ing several pieces from Texas pot­ teries, which flourished during the latter half of the 19th century, Adams said. Each piece of pottery displays its history by having the maker's name stamped in cobalt blue on the bottom. "W h a t's especially interesting is the imagination and creative aspect of the objects, especially since they w ere handm ade," Adam s said. "The exhibit has so much history and is breathtaking in its beauty." One of the most fascinating objects on display, according to Adams, is a satin beaded gown worn by Ida Jaeger in 1917 at her w ed d ing the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Round Top. in "It's m y favorite item," Adam s exclaims. "It is so fragile, the dress looks as if it might fall apart at the slightest touch." From the mid-1950s to 1960s, several historic structures were relocated to the W inedale proper­ ty and restored as public muse­ ums, which completed the trans­ formation of W inedale from an old farm stead to a new outdoor museum, Adam s said. The Winedale exhibit will be on display until Aug. 30, 2003. The exhibit contains approximately 4,400 pieces, including quilts, hand­ made furniture, housewares and folk art. These objects are available for research at Winedale. "This exhibit is breathtaking," said Dana Sparling, a journalism junior. "I can't believe the crafts­ manship that went into these arti­ facts."

Firearm in hand, he asks a manag­ er if he thinks it's a little dangerous to hand out weapons in a bank. Moore returns to his home state for a trek though the woods with members of the Michigan Militia, an amicable group of outdoorsmen briefly associated with convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Following the McVeigh connection, he pays a visit to Terry Nichols' brother James Nichols, a man who can't sleep without a pis­ tol under his pillow. The interview' becomes uncomfortable and awk­ ward as Moore delve's deeper into Nichols' psyche, implying ques­ tions about his mental stability. This leads to other questions, such as: Should blind people be allowed to own firearms? Is there a reason­ able balance betw een reactive and proactive law enforcement? There are no easy answers to the ques­ tions raised throughout the film, and the filmmaker doesn't overtly presume to have any. M oore does that Canada may have the solution. A good portion of the film focuses on Canadian gun culture. His inquiring mind wants to know why their citizens own guns, yet aren't offing each other in record numbers. He makes no attempt to suggest hide how he feels about the dis­ crepancy. The country depicted on screen is a slightly less temperate ( ¡arden of Eden. In fact, Moore venerates our northern neighbors to such a degree that one has to w'onder if the film was backed by the Canadian tourism industry'. After a brief string of man-on- the-street vox pops, Moore con­ cludes that all Canadians have adopted a no-worries attitude, effectively immunizing themselves to the causes of American violence. While this is hardly a scientific sur­ vey, he presents some evidence that the average U.S. gun owner is far more fearful and jumpy than his northern counterpart. After examining history, race, commer­ cialism and the mass media, Moore is determined to find out who or what is responsible for generating this uniquely American culture of fear. The film's startling title refers to the early morning activities of teenagers Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris before they embarked on a killing spree that claimed the lives of 12 of their classmates in 1999. Moore takes two survivors (both have bullets still embedded in their bodies, and one is now paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair) along for a surprise attack on K- Mart, where the k i l l e r s purchased their bullets. In a moment that is equal parts closure, revenge and Photo c o u r te s y o f U n ited A rtists | more than 3 million copies, Michael Moore targets gun problems in Am erica with Bowling for Columbine. vindication, the victims confront the Kmart executives, who — when faced with the media scruti­ ny — pledge to end the sale of ammunition in Kmart stores. The film occasionally digresses into cutesy tangents like South Park's School House Rock-ish lús- tory of the United States. That time could be better spent digging deep­ er into the larger, more serious issues of race or the American fear culture. The surfaces of many issues are scratched, each worthy of its own documentary. The films likely comedic pit-stops were added simplv to make the bitter pill a little easier to sw'allow'. Digressions or no digressions, you can't accuse Moore of boring his audience. He makes sun' we remain entertained and e ngaged.

And Moore has never been one to shy away from controversy (he once direct­ ed a Rage Against the Machine video during which he was arrested as the band incited the crowd to storm the New York S t o c k Exchange). The audience braces for impact when Moore confronts Charleton Heston in his own home. It's clear that Moore is not above emotional manipulation or politi­ cal smear. It would be unfair, how­ ever, to simply dismiss Bowling for Columbine as nothing more than left-wing propaganda. Despite a few' premature conclusions, it's an entertaining and thought-provok­ ing film that deserves cogitation. And considering the recent shoot­ ing spree near our nation's capital, it couldn't have dome at a more rel­ evant time.

BRIEF Influential rap impresario Jam Master Jay dead at 37 NEW YORK Jam M aster Jay’s sonic experiments with spacious drum breaks and grinding guitar riffs helped make RurvDMC the first hip hop group to break into mainstream music. He joined 2 0 years ago with Joseph "Run” Simmons and Darryl “DM C” McDaniels to form the group that would be more responsible than any other for spreading the idea that one per son — a disc jockey — could provide the entire musical back­ drop for a song. “You draw the comparison to when John Lennon was shot," Public Enemy frontman Chuck D said Thursday, hours after the 37-year-old was shot to death at a recording studio near the neighborhood where the group grew up. “It’s an enormous loss to the genre.” DJs like Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, became adept at scratching vinyl records forward and backward in time with a beat, working one turntable with each hand, to create new sounds the original artists never imagined. The number of DJs shot up dra­ matically in the 1970s, as many New York public schools were cut­ ting music programs and children had less access to musical instru­ ments, Chuck D said. He once rapped, “RurvDMC first said a DJ could be a band.” “We always knew rap was for everyone," Mizell said in a 2001 interview with MTV. “Anyone could rap over all kinds of music." The three members of RurvDMC grew up middle-class homes in the Hollis neighborhood of New York’s Queens borough. Simmons and McDaniels started out rap­ ping at parties, and later invited Mizell to form a group with them. Simmons’ brother, Russell, had formed a small label with produc­ er Rick Rubin and signed early hip hop stars including Kurtis Blow. The new group Joseph Simmons had formed with McDaniels and Mizell soon joined the roster. While many early '8 0s hip hop artists rapped over clean dance beats, RurvDMC and Rubin chopped up riffs from classic rock records for a grittier sound. The risk paid off with several rock-influ­ enced hits, including “Rock Box” and "King of Rock.” But the sound finally exploded with audiences when the group remade the Aerosmith hit “Walk This Way,” creating hip hop s biggest crossover success of the time. Though rap videos were rare on MTV at the time, “Walk This Way,” with its elaborate story line of a comical grudge match between rappers and rockers, was a con­ stant fixture on the station for months. The members of the group made an unforgettable impression with their black outfits and hats and white Adidas sneak- ers. Raising Hell, the 1 9 8 6 record that included “Walk This Way," “My Adidas” and “It’s Tricky," sold becoming the first rap album to go multiplatinum. The group's self-titled debut album in 1984 was the first rap album to go gold. Mizell wasn’t the first to manip­ ulate records by scratching them in time under a needle. But he did become one of hip hop’s best-known and most respected DJs through his deft scratching and the group’s spirited promo­ tion of his skills. Critics blamed the group and rap music for inciting fights between members of the Crips and Bloods gangs at California's Long Beach Arena. The trio con­ demned violence, and in 1986 called for a day of peace between warring Los Angeles street gangs. The group has attempted sever­ al comebacks since Raising Hell, and had just completed a tour with Aerosmith and Kid Rock, one of the many performers who has tried to cop their mix of rap and rock. Mizell is survived by his wife and three children. —Associated Press i | j ! I I j I I V I A X T H E A T R E The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum 1800 N.
