Fine Arts career center offers artists business skills Republican ahysics lover ikely for UT U.S. Representative Lamar Smith advocates nanotechnolog}' research By Loml Kriel Daily Texan Staff He alw ays harbored a secret desire to be a physics genius. But one day at Yale University, U.S. Rep. L am ar Sm ith, R -San A ntonio, realized he w as sitting next to all the future Einsteins of the world. He sw apped a laboratory for a law firm in San Antonio. W ithout even realizing it, Smith had soon taken the deep plunge into politics — running for the position of local precinct chair­ man of the Republican Party in San Antonio in 1976, he hati no idea that this w as going to be a career choice. Lamar Smith Smith may be first Republican to represent UT in more than 40 years. “You know, 1 never thought of m yself as a politician," Sm ith said.

SMITH, FROM 1 Smith would be the University's t ir s t Republican representative in more than 40 years. In 1987, the fifth-generation Texan exchanged hts view of the Alamo for the U.S. Capitol. Almost 30 years after discard­ ing his science ambitions. Smith i> a ranking member of the House Science Committee and leads development on the Space and Research Subcommittees. "You know, Einstein was bril­ liant, but I'm not sure he would have been the best congressional witness," said longtime fnend and UT Regent Cyndi Taylor Krier. "Lam ar manages to bal­ ance the liberal arts v/ith the hard science." Smith will have a lot more bal­ ancing to do in the near future about something that could require even more tact than he's used to in Washington, D.C. Smith's daughter Nell, a 2002 U T School of Law graduate, said her dad has alw ays been a Longhorn fan. But the issue can get sticky at home. "M y stepmother's parents are Aggies," Nell said. "But he has lots of orange shirts," she added quickly. Smith is no stranger to jug­ gling different interests. When he was elected to Congress, Nell was only 8 years old, and her brother Toban was 10. "Often there were votes through the night, but he would always come home for dinner, and then rush back and be there all night long," Nell said. Smith has always been able to squeeze many varied responsi­ bilities into his life, Krier said. She has known Smith since the 1970s when both were working on political campaigns in San Antonio. Much of Sm ith's strengths seem to stem from his unfulfilled ambition to be a physicist. "H e's inquisitive, he asks a lot of questions, he's open to new ideas, he does his homework and researches issues, Krier said. "H e doesn't just take them at superficial value." Krier said one of the things she respects most about Smith is his high standard of ethics. "H e has, to me, what are the highest ethical standards of any­ one that I know," Krier said. "W hen I'm faced with a tough choice or decision, I would sit there and go, 'O K what would Lam ar do?'" Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, has known Smith since their Sunday school years as children. During the course of long redistricting battle, the Wentworth said Smith expressed interest the University to him. representing in "H e's very interested in sci­ ence and technology and has a key committee assignment and has been helpful to U I already even though it was not in his dis­ trict," Wentworth said. Right after the redistricting map passed, Smith picked up the phone and called W illiam Shute, U T System's federal rela­ tions chancellor, Shute said. "It just shows he's been look­ ing forward to working with the University," Shute said. Shute said Smith's committee assignments and his seniority w ould be a big asset to the University. "H e 's been very helpful through the science committee, and the research programs spon­ sored appropriation requests," Shute said. some His position as chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property, is also of increasing the University because of issues like peer-to-peer file sharing and interest to broadband access, Shute said. W hile the University's rela­ tionship has been good with its current Congressman, D em ­ ocratic U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Shute said, "Unfortunately, his committee assignments don t overlap with issues we work on. We have not had as many oppor­ tunities as 1 would like [to work together)." Doggett serves on the Ways and Means Committee, which mainly works with tax issues, Shute said. The University could also ben­ efit from being represented by a member of the majority party, Shute said. For his part, Smith, ever the scientist, was simply excited to be able to represent such a large research university. " If the courts uphold the maps, I'm happy to have the prospect to have U T," Smith said. "First of all, it's just such a great a world renowned, world-class educa­ tional institution. W h o wouldn't feel proud to represent U T ?" institution, Smith has been an advocate for nanotechnology research at the University. " I think a focus on science is the smart thing. Science is the future, and high-tech jobs are the backbone of our economy," Smith said. But it's not just about the research. W hat he loves most about Austin is its many good restaurants. Although even when dining out, he doesn't for­ get the G O P way. "I'm a fiscal conservative when it comes to my favorite restaurant," Smith said. "I won't say it's the best, but you can eat the most at I lickory Street Cafe. I love their 'All-you-can-eat' for $5.69." Ordinance passes without much ianiare "I honestly don't know w'hy there's opposition to a shopping center on 1-35," Suttle said in a later interview. The "big box" ordinance passed late in the evening with decidedly less fanfare. "Them are some inconsisten­ cies in the ordinance's language," M ayor W ill W yn n said. "The aquifer doesn't know the differ­ ence between a grocery store and a dry goods store or a one-tenant box and a five-tenant box. I think there's just an emotional connota­ tion for large-scale retail. W yn n said the 45-day morato­ rium would be enough time to answer all the questions tor a permanent ordinance. "There's already a significant start," W yn n said. " A lot of council members have been focusing on this issue for more than a month, so now that the groundwork is in place, it's just a question of how to get more input from the stakeholders involved." Suttle said he did not approve of the "big box" moratorium. start out with the theory* that there's something wrong with 'big box,' and I don't think that's true," Suttle said. "If you've got a 'big box' that complies with the water quality ordinances, I don't think there's a problem. Another plan would have the same num­ ber of covered square feet, but it would just be a bunch of little boxes." However, Suttle said he could not think of an example in which large-scale retail complied with Austin's strict water quality "[The moratorium] seems to rules.

Two other soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division, which has borne the brunt of recent attacks, were wounded in the bombing near Baqouba, 40 miles northeast of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. The death brings to 105 the number of American soldiers killed by hostile fire since President Bush declared an end to major combat May 1. The two Iraqi guards were killed in a bombing near an oil pipeline 150 miles north of the capital, U.S. officials said. Ten other mem­ bers of the Iraqi Civil Defense Force were wounded by the blast. Elsewhere, troops from the 101st Airborne Division killed two Iraqis and wounded a third after gunmen fired rocket propelled grenades on a U.S. compound in the northern city of Mosul. And in the capital, Iraqi police seized explosives from a car they said belonged to a Syrian and found a second improvised bomb in the same neighborhood. Iran turns over documents on its nuclear program VIENNA, Austria — Iran gave the U.N. nuclear watchdog a dossier meant to dispel fears that it is try­ ing to make atomic bombs, but a Tehran envoy acknowledged Thursday the files omitted key information about a bomb-making ingredient found in the country. The United States accuses Iran of running a weapons program and points to the discovery of highly enriched uranium as strong evidence of such activity. Iran insists the traces, found in environmental samples, were inadvertently imported on equip­ ment meant to generate electric, ty and says it does not know where the equipment originated from because it was purchased through third parties. Israel to build in West Bank despite construction ban JERUSALEM — Israel disclosed plans Thursday to build about 300 homes in West Bank settle­ ments, despite a freeze on con­ struction required by a U.S.- backed peace plan. Palestinians condemned the project and urged the United States to intervene. The U.S.backed “road map" plan requires a freeze on con­ struction in the roughly 150 Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. “We have made our policy clear, which is that, under the road map, Israel has made a commitment to stop settlement activity," U.S. State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said. "Sticking to that commitment is important." The Israeli government says it needs the new buildings because of the “natural growth’ of the set­ tlements. However, the “road map’ does not take that into account in its blanket building freeze.

A month after the raid, appar­ ently aimed at preventing terrorists from slipping across the border from Saudi Arabia, only two of the 79 captives have been freed. The sweep — similar to those conducted in Afghanistan by U.S. special operations troops — came at a time when American officials were concerned that foreign fight­ ers, including those loyal to Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, were c ro s s ­ ing into Iraq to join the resistance against the U.S.-led occupation. The U.S.-appointed m ayor of Habbariyah and its deputy police the A m ericans chief believe rounded up so m any men and boys to punish the village because of suspicions it maintains contact with desert smugglers or infiltra­ tors from across the border, SI) miles away. U.S. military officers refused to talk about the operation, but knowledgeable American sources, speaking on condition of anony­ mity', confirmed the basics of the account given to The Associated Press by six villagers, including one who was detained and released. Their description of what hap­ pened Sept. 10 offers the first details of U.S. military operations in this border area as well as one of the first looks at efforts to fight the influx of foreign insurgents as the scope of guerrilla violence against Am erican troops increases. Villagers say they heard the whir of helicopters at daw n over 1 labbariyah, a Bedouin enclave of S(X) people clustered in an area about the size of two football fields. The village is in the Anbar province', a third ot Iraq's territory' stretching west, north and south from Baghdad to the borders with Saudi Arabia, Syria and Jordan. U.S. soldiers come under daily attack in the conservative, mostly Sunni M uslim province, a former stronghold of support for Saddam I lussein that includes such hot­ spots as Fallujah, Ramadi and Khaldiyah. ( )ver the next 10 hours, villagers say, U.S. tr o o p s rounded up men including police, the elderly and teenagers. One woman also was seized. All were restrained with plastic handcuffs and taken to one house. From there, U.S. troops loaded the captives onto the helicopters and flew them to an air base north of the village. The woman, the wife of a tribal leader, w as released the next day'. The men were transported to the ( ihraib prison w est of Abu Baghdad, once used bv Saddam to house political prisoners.

Malvo's attorneys gave notice earli­ er this month that they plan to pres­ ent an insanity defense, ahd Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert F. Horan Jr. said the state’s mental health expert needed an extra month to evaluate Malvo. He asked that the trial be postponed to Dec. 10. The defense opposed a delay, arguing that prosecutors had three months to hire an expert witness and that the defense theory that the 18-year-old Malvo had been “indoctrinated" by the older John Allen Muhammad was nothing new to the case. Muhammad, 42, went on trial last week in Virginia Beach in the slay ing of a man at a gas station. But Thursday's proceedings were can celed because of a power failure at the courthouse. Federal report shows decline in crime at U.S. schools WASHINGTON — School crime is on the decline, according to a gov ernment report that reflects mci dents through 2001 but does not factor in a recent spike in violence. From 1995 to 2001, the percent age of students age 12 to 18 who reported being victims of violence or theft at school dropped from 10 percent to 6 percent, according to figures from departments of Justice and Education. The rate of violent crimes at school among these students dropped from 48 crimes per 1,000 students to 28 crimes from 1992 to 2001. Those figures, part of a compre hensive list of measures updated each year, are based on a variety of government sponsored surveys.

The only w.ry for people to realize this is through trade and without government (or university) interven tion. Thus, people become diverse through interaction when something of value is at stake, t ittle is at stake during a lecture or class, l or example: An American business operating overseas cannot afford to ignore the othe*r cultures or fail to integrate the* local population into its work force. The relationship is mutually beneficial This cannot tx* said of a class. On an individual level, a graduate today cannot expect to .ichieve sue cess in a company while harboring racist beliefs.

Students feel th.it a diversity class would “steal" an elective slot, force them to take more than 120 hours, or “(aim] to instill pat ticular attitudes" (Viewpoint, Oct 2 í) AR16 does none of this, and these* reactions only further splinter student relations. One main argu ment is that diversity classes can not he* objective. This is flawed because an African American histo ry class or a Mexican American lit culture class would both present objective materials on history and literature while teaching about peo pie traditionally excluded from "American" tustory or literature. Should AR 16 be slotted in every student’s Area D requirement or as a writing component, the (lass would not take away from valuable elective space. Also, many classes with a focus on diversity c ould be cross listed with fine arts, anthro pology, philosophy, etc October 23 "Viewpoint" criticized AR16, saying that classes on Russian theatre, the poor or heterosexual males could not prevent "future acts of ethnic insensitivity on e ampus. ihe editors fail to see that play wrights reflect historical events and beliefs in their pl.iys, that classes on the* (Riot te*.x it about policies of U S government, and that classes on heterosexuality highlight the* inner workings of American society. Classes with diverse perspectives do not indoctrinate, but rather pro vide a lens fot seeing the similari ties and differences between peo pie through their histories, and how these can aid all of us in coexisting in our society.

Our university cannot forget its role ,is k at what hap­ pened in the years after the first G ulf W ar when the United States imposed such sanctions upon Iraq. The nation's technological infrastructure collapsed, hun­ d r e d s of thousands starved to death and the country was, and still is, a m ess. To put it shortly, Iran needs to avoid giving the State Department any excuse to intervene. Sanctions aren't the only thing to w orry about. In 1981, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike to destroy a real tor being built for Saddam I lussein's nuclear pro­ gram in Iraq. W hile that strike was very precise and there was little to no collateral damage, does any­ one want air strikes and missiles flying around between Israel and Iran? An event such as the 1981 strike has the potential to start an all-out imbroglio in the M iddle East. Israel isn't the only m ilitary power that Iran needs to worry about. Does anyone remember Bush's "A x is of E v il" speech? H o w about Bush's nuclear weapons justification for the w ar in Iraq? A U.S. incursion into Iran is not that hypothetical. Iran has an unpopular regime with a hor­ rid human rights record, poses a threat to Israel and might actually have a nuclear weapons program, making it an even more* appealing target than Iraq. 1 low ever potent the risks may be, though, the Iranian govern­ ment has reasons to want nuclear weapons. As North Korea is cur­ rently dem onstrating, nuclear weapons can be* used as powerful bargaining chips. The Iranian gov­ ernment seeks advanced reactor technology in exchange for the beefed-up inspections the IA E A w ill now conduct, but acquiring them doesn't seem likely. The rea­ son North Korea is so successful in its power positioning is that they actually possess the weapons; the evidence seems to show that Iran doesn't quite have them yet. Another reason to build nukes is . di>h>r invasion; it doesn't lool to deter invasion; it doesn't lix>k like the* North Korea is going to tx* invaded anytim e so o n , even by the United States. Despite the reasons to w ant nuclear weapons, the costs of developing them outw eigh the benefits. Holding on to a riskv project at a time when tensions are running so high around the world puts the people of Iran at nsk. Adm ittedly, the regime doesn't care much for the people of Iran, but unless thev want a U.S.-led coup, sanction or invasion, the*y need to give up the arms program. In this case, some believability gtx’s to Iran. A full disclosure puts the government in a position to retain control and lead Iran to a relationship w ith prosperous Europe — France, Germ any and Britain have all echoed support for Iran to come clean. Ihe report should also make the United States back off for a w h ile (although not even the truth can keep our country off the hunt for long). . . . Logic says Iran is telling the tmth about its nuclear weapons program. I lowever, the suspicion of the State Department is still welcom e. W h ile there s some plausibility in the report, Iran's clerics aren't known to be the most logical people. C olin Po w ell should sleep with one eye open — just in case.

Lynn Rodriguez, TSU general counsel, explained the university's position on state law Wednesday dunng the trial of a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by the Houston school's former police chief. ‘Are you aware that the district attorney’s office violently dis agrees?" Rodriguez was asked by attorney Rusty Hardin, who repre­ sents former chief Cordell Lindsey. Rodriguez acknowledged that she was unaware of any case law supporting her interpretation. Lindsey, 51, contends that he was fired in January 2001 to halt an investigation into the possible theft of $4,000 by a school employee. Associated Press Group: Grad school not necessary for several fields FORT WORTH — Going to gradu ate school may seem like the right move, but some students may want to think twice. The Employment Policy Foundation, a nonpartisan research group, estimates that the lifetime earnings of those with a professional degree will total about $4.4 million, while those with bachelor’s degrees will make about $2.4 million. However, students seeking mas­ ter’s degrees in liberal arts, sci­ ence fields or engineering, should expect earnings of only $500,000 more over a lifetime than those with bachelor’s degrees, the EPF estimates. (J Wire Gene activity levels in mice may explain gender identity LOS ANGELES — A new study by UCLA scientists suggests gender identity is hard-wired into the brain. Working with mice, scientists extracted RNA from the embryon­ ic brains of 10-day-old males and females and found 54 genes had different levels of activity. About half were more active in females, a fact that may explain gender- specific behavior differences. Previous studies have shown sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone, to be the cause of gender identity.

SHOOTING HOOPS Windmills to use state land By Katherine Winter Daily Texan Staff The Texas General Land Office w ill lease state-owned property fur wind farms in the economic interest of green power and public Land schools, Texas Commissioner Jerry Patterson said at a press conference Thursday. The leases, scheduled to begin in A pril 2004, w ill encourage contractors to build the neces­ sary infrastructure for wind- powered energy, the royalties of which w ill go to the Permanent School Fund, Patterson said. an "It's environm entally friendly proposal based entirely on money," said Jim Suydam , spokesman for the office. By leasing state land to private companies for the construction of turbines, the G L O generates income for the school fund. The fund assists public education by distributing money to the state's school districts. Com panies pay royalties to the state in the form of energy. The state, in turn, sells the ener­ gy to state institutions at a dis­ counted rate. The profits from the sale go directly to the PSF. Since 1995, W est Texas w ind farms have generated more than $6(X),(XX) in royalties for the PSF. Suydam said he is not certain how much energy w ill be pro­ duced by the proposed farms or how much money it w ill gener­ ate. The G L O must first decide w hich state lands are to be leased and the minim um pur­ chase prices for that land. In the midst of rising natural gas prices, forms of renewable energy, dubbed "given power, are being promoted by the G LO as an economic alternative. West Texas wind power turbines cur- rontly provide energy for about 2,5(X) homes, but the G LO hopes to encourage the technology in the eastern part of the state, where the greatest need for power exists. more "Environm ental issues have become pressing," Patterson said. "W e w ant to move forw ard w ith w hat we hope w ill be a w ind rush." Although Patterson said that West Texas offers the best site for w ind pow er generation, transmission to the state power grid provides too large of an economic hurdle. "W e've offered incentives to build power lines, but it is still really expensive," Suydam said. The current plan proposes con­ struction of the turbines in the G u lf of Mexico, where Texas owns submerged land 10 miles off the coast — an advantage to Texas, as the only state with a statute extending its control that far into a body of water. B y offering leases along the coast of Texas, the G L O hopes to make w ind energy cheaper by building w ind farms closer to consumers. Suydam , who uses green power in his own home, explained other advantages despite the added cost. "It is a bit more per kilow att per hour, but you can lock in a flat rate for three to four years, which prevents you from having to deal w ith the fluctuating prices of o il," Suydam said. It makes sense econom ically." Austin Energy provides a renewable energy option called "GreenChoice," w hich is com­ prised of 86 percent w ind energy and 14 percent from other renew­ able sources, said Austin Energy spokesman Carlos Cordova. He said 3 percent of Austin residents utilize GreenChoice. Curt Maynard shoots hoops at the basketball court on 45th Street and Avenue F on Thursday afternoon.

Chief Stan Knee was out of town Monday when the police department suspended Glasgow without pay. Thursday, Knee decided to pay Glasgow through out the criminal proceedings. "The fact that Chief Knee has changed the terms of the tempo rary suspension is not intended to reflect on the merits of the indictment," a statement issued by the APD said. “This action is solely intended to serve as an issue of fairness during the pending internal affairs and crimi­ nal justice process." Glasgow is charged with negli gent homicide in the shooting. According to police reports, Glasgow was attempting to arrest Jessie Lee Owens for driv­ ing a stolen vehicle when Owens sped off, dragging Glasgow down the street with him. Glasgow shot Owens five times, killing him. Glasgow was booked and re­ leased Monday on $25,000 bond. Doily laxan Stott L t gov. supports financial incentives for teachers Lt. Gov David Dewhurst said Thursday he wants Texas to offer financial incentives to public school teachers and administrators to reward their good work. Speaking to the Austin Area Research Organization, Dewhurst offered no details but said law makers should also consider financial and other incentives to attract more top students to teaching careers. “Incentives work in almost any business," he said. “Incentives work in almost every walk of life." Dewhurst said lawmakers could address his ideas in a likely spe­ cial session on school finance next year. Incentives could range from merit pay to nonfinancial perks, he said. Dewhurst said he’s also interested in teacher salary increases but didn’t say where the money would come from to pay for it. “I'm supportive of getting our good teachers here in Texas get ting paid up to at least the national average," he said. “And that’s going to take more money."

Work with me): You're sitting in the cafeteria, fresh out of the line with your Friday soyburger, wrinkled french fries, apple sauce and chocolate cake. The only thing you need now is an ice-cold Dr Pepper. After returning farm the drink machine, you notice three french frit's and the cake missing from your tray. Where did the ftxrd go? Did 1 eat it and forget? Is the green glob from "Ghostbusters" still haunting me? Well, maybe, but probably not. And then you see it. It's that guy with the greasy mullet and wrin­ kled Rod Stewart T-shirt; he asked you for lunch money in third peri­ od, and you said, "N o ." You spot­ ted him earlier chasing sugar packets with the fret* pouches of ranch dressing, and now he s chasing finger-fulls of chocolate cake with fries. Your fries. What do you do? Easy — march right over, plant palm in sternum and demand the food back. So what if it will be nothing mom than a regurgitated ball ot chocolate- potato gooiness? It's the principle. Now, what if that piece of cake and trench fries were a plasm a television? Y ou 'd do the exact sam e thing — m arch right over them and dem and it back. Exactly w'hat C ed ric Benson did a few w eeks ago. If you came hom e to find your apartment slightly different than when you left it — missing a cou­ ple TV's, a PlayStation and clothes — you'd be fuming. No different than Benson. O ne year later and the culprit is still roaming free, watching your plasma tube'. Fum es turn to fire — think Michael D ouglas in "Falling Down.

Benson it seems spends more time blocking than the Arkansas loss, Benson handled the ball 13 times for 27 yards; against OU, he gained 21 yards on 12 carries. Even w nen Benson does get on a roll, marching off a series of 6-, 8-, 10-yard carries, he'll often spend the next couple of series on the sidelines. W hy? You're guess is as good as mine. In Resurgent Baylor could give Texas a difficult contest By Clint Hale Daily Texan Staff The Baylor football team is unhappy this week. Not because the Bears just got shellacked by another con­ ference opponent. Not because another ballclub put another stam p on the board that says the boys in W aco com prise one of the w orst the nation. team s in No, this Bears' squad is dis­ tressed because they missed an opportunity to post a winning record last w eekend with a 28- 21 loss to Kansas. Yes, this is the sam e Baylor ballclub that lost its last seven games to end the 2002 season and finished with a 3-9 record. These aren't your fath er's Bears. No, this ballclub belongs to Guy M orriss, the new face of Baylor football and the man who is expected to bring his team b ack to the realm of respectability. It's a realm the Bears (3-4, 1- 2 Big 12) may have already ventured into — just ask Colo­ rado.

And w hile C olorad o isn't the sam e team it's been the past couple of years, neither are the Bears, w ho after close losses to the Jayhaw ks and A labam a-Birm ingham are just 12 points shy of a 5-2 m ark on the season. With the recent talk in Waco surrounding M orriss and his ballclub, it's no wonder Texas and head coach Mack Brown aren't ov erloo k in g anyone See FOOTBALL, page 8 B ack In seven starts, Benson has just 498 yards. But it's kind of hard to pile up the yardage when you don't get the ball — he's only been handed the ball 20-plus tintes once. in his M idland high school, Benson was a playmaking fool, trading 50-vard touchdow n bursts and 50-yard stiffarm s with ease, and he broke onto the national scene his freshman year at Texas. The sight ot No. 32 drag­ ging defenders is eerily sim ilar to ,i form er Longhorn with dreads. Not isn't this year. Benson happy — it's evident in his glare as he walks oft the field after practk and usually those lasers are aimed at the back ot Brow n's head, lie didn't bargain tor this, not tor an average of 17 carries a game. Sure, people may question his focus — why is he looking tor his TV the w eek Texas is playing O U ? Sim ple, he knew Texas was gonna lose and wanted to have a nice TV to w atch movies on when he got hom e Saturday night. Alas, there is no joy in Mudville. But Benson is not a lifetime criminal, and criminal trespassing isn't exactly a gateway crime. I le's just a bom football player. Don't blame Benson for being angry- After all, he just wanted his TV back. And blame someone else for his anger on the football field.

The tournament will also be a homecoming of sorts for head coach Michael Center as he returns to the courts he once ruled prior to taking the position at Texas. Senior Jimmy Haney will also return to the courts where he spent three years before coming to Austin. Sophomore Antonio Ruiz, ranked 74th in the national col legiate rankings, will lead the squad up 135 with seniors Haney, Pete Stroer and Ryan Haymond. Haymond is on a hot 11-2 start on the year and is coming off a finals appearance at the UT Invitational last week­ end. Senior Jose Zarhi, the project­ ed N o .l starter for the team, will not compete due to a nagging back injury. On the doubles side of the net, the No. 21 combination of Haney and Stroer will look to go deep into the tournament. If any of the Longhorns wind up victorious in the 128-man sin­ gles draw or 64-team doubles bracket, the team will be guaran teed a position in the ITA National Indoors, held in early November. "This tournament provides them with an opportunity to face a lot of guys they'll see later this year,” Center said. "Hopefully that will help them when the dual-match season begins in the spring."

OVER THE RAINBOW ‘0 z’ musical playing this weekend at Bass John Bolton, Dirk Lumbard, Lauren Worsham and Paul Ainsley appear in “The Wizard of Oz,” the stage musical apart of the “Broadway Texas!" ongo­ ing series.

W it h more than M) Munchkins and nearly 50 ensemble members, this is an enormously talented cast, with outrageous costumes and props to match. "W izard of O z" is one musical seemingly unaffected by the w ith e rin g theater economy right now I ittmg its music and lines right out of the 1939 film that made Judy Garland a star, the musical even adds the "Jitterbug" scene originally cut from the film. Putting the requisite musical cheesiness aside, the actors play their i harac ters much like their cinematic counterparts The I ion (Paul Ainsley) draws laughter and applause each time he s.ivs "courage" in the b u m bling slang of his cinematic pred­ ecessor. H is perky tail makes for as alm ost an endearing su p p o rt­ ing actor.

Ashley the Cairn Terrier, or Toto, just sits limply in the a lw ays- p erk y D o ro th y 's arms, barely moving except for a fiercely wagging tail. I rom the pyrotechnics and lighting to flying props — and the technical aspect of actors "O z " overwhelms the audience as much as the music and acting. Fake smoke and explosions of fire1 dot the sot as well, and the effect of bright colors, solid light­ ing and occasional balls of flame turn the upscale atmosphere of the theater into an old-fashioned carnival of smoke and mirrors. The tornado scene alone, com­ plete with Miss G ulch/W icked W itch of the West flying across the stage on her bicycle, rivals H ollywood for special effects. Then there are the costumes: big blackbirds, silky red pop­ pies, em erald clothing e very­ where and, of course, Glenda the Good W itch's bubble gum pink dress. As much money was invested as imagination; there were no outfits made of scrap cloth or rented from the local shop. For those w ho spent the better half of childhood m arveling at the change from black and white to technicolor M unchkin Land, "O z " is not to be missed. If W inkies and fix ing monkeys do not ring a bell, the musical still has enough eye candy and jokes for the older crowd to keep adults-at-heart happy. Get to the Bass Concert H all by car, bike or tornado, because truly, there is no place like "O z." Jolie won an Academy Aw ard for her performance in 1999's "Girl, Interrupted." It's a safe bet she will not be receiving her second for this. 1 he bizarre pacing of this movie is a major underlying, yet overwhelming, issue right from the start. Slo w ly opening, the credits wash onto the screen over the sad sound of one piano key hitting its pitch again and again. And then ... again. A sluggish close-up moves from the hands of the female pianist to her chest, finally to a prolonged pause on those infamous Jolie lips. After a lingering moment, or two or three, the au d ien ce is fin a lly introduced to the woman's whole face. Such is how Sarah (jolie) is introduced: chest, lips, face. But really, the movie is going to be all about how this pearl-wearing piano player gets down and dirty in relief camps all over the world. A 10-year flashback to a fast- paced rock 'n roll dance scene in 1SH4 jolts the audience through a clum sy transition in order to meet a man. This is Nick Callahan (Clive Owen), the dark and dashing, nomadic, globetrotting doctor who feels his calling in life is to embrace and mold flailing relief camps worldw ide. N ick and Sarah's paths cross in the early '80s when he disrupts a benefit gala hosted by her husband's socially prominent family. W hile Nick pours a bottle of the cham- pagne on the dance floor, he rants and raves that the very same crowd has yanked funds from his Ethiopian camp. delivering Just a few scenes iater, Sarah is personally over $30,000 of personally funded relief supplies to Nick's camp. She has wiped out her whole life's savings. Apparently, Nick's little break-up-the-party speech was just that captivating. As a film and as an epic story, "Beyond Borders" seems to have two main missions: To expose and praise the realities of relief work, and to express the power of true love.

Minnelli and Gest divorce, deal with legal battles NEW YORK — Producer David Gest sued Liza Minnelli for $10 million Tuesday, accusing his estranged wife of alcohol- fueled violence that caused neurological damage and headaches. Gest, 50, alleges in court papers that Minnelli, 57, flew into drunken rages on several occasions on both sides of the Atlantic, insulting and striking him. Liz Rosenberg, a spokes­ woman for the singer, said Minnelli had not seen the law­ suit and could not comment. Minnelli’s lawyer Allen Arrow, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Minnelli and Gest separated in July, just 16 months after they wed at a celebrity-studded ceremony that featured best man Michael Jackson carrying the bride's train. Elizabeth Taylor served as maid of honor. In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Gest alleges that Minnelli began battering him before the wedding. Gest's lawyer, Raoul Felder, said his client suffered neuro­ logical damage and headaches from the alleged attacks, and is staying at a rehabilitation clinic in Honolulu. In one incident last June in London, court papers allege Minnelli consumed a bottle of vodka before she threw a lamp at Gest in their hotel suite. She later “began beating (Gest) about the head and face with her fists," the law suit said. When Gest asked a security guard to intervene, court papers say Minnelli punched him in the stomach. When the couple married in March 2002, attendees said Minnelli danced in happiness at the altar. Hundreds of fans lined Fifth Avenue to watch guests including actors Michael Douglas, Anthony Hopkins and David Hasselhoff, rocker Elton John and TV news personality Barbara Walters arrive in limousines. The wedding marked a per­ sonal comeback for Minnelli, the daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli. She has won an Academy Award, an Emmy, two Golden Globes and three Tony Awards but also battled substance abuse, weight gain and a near fatal bout with encephalitis. Gest, an event and concert promoter, produced Jack so n ’s 30th Anniversary tribute concert. Associated Press » MR SINLIS rHCATER PRES!
