Staff photo Texas judge denounces Robin Hood School finance system found unconstitutional for treating poorer districts unfairly By A d a m H. C ovici Daily Texan Staff A state judge found Texas' school finance system unconstitutional Wednesday because of its inef­ ficiency in providing adequate education to all students, and is giving the state one year to find a solution. State District judge John Dietz issued the ruling after more than 300 Texas school districts argued in court for six weeks that students from poorer schools had "lost the opportunity to escape pov­ erty." "The Legislature has done a good job of defin­ ing high standards for schools and students, but the system fails to prov ide a general diffusion of knowiedge, which the Texas Education Code requires," said David Thompson, a Houston attor­ ney for the plaintiffs. "W hat we need is linkage between those high standards and funding." The school districts cited too heavy a depen­ dence on property taxes to fund the system and said the state should share a larger portion of the financial burden.

Because the festival continues to growr in popularity among Texas music enthusiasts, the festival's production company, Capital Sports & Entertainment, decided to tour 16 prominent music cities across the nation to promote the event. "W e've brought together a great group of bands that you're unlikely to see together on any other stage," said ACL Festival spokeswoman Lindsey Tishgart. "It's going to be a good year." The company targeted Nashville, New York City, Portland and Seattle as places that had a similar market and atm o­ sphere as Austin, said production manager Lisa Schickel. They engaged in heavy radio promotion in those cities and gave away travel packages to the festival. Afterward, they saw dramatic increases in ticket sales in those areas, Schickel said.

Brown said he had read in The Daily Texan that Rigby married some same-sex students in April at a public demonstra­ tion. The event was a mixture of mock "O ur church has ruled several times that this isn't how it works," Brown said. But Rigby said the church is divided on the issue. He said the last General Assembly, the national conference for Presbyterians, voted against same-sex marriage by a margin of only 4-out-of- 800 votes.

Prosecutors said Anthony R. Gallagher, 23, allegedly earned hun­ dreds of dollars by putting fake park­ ing tickets on cars and duping own­ ers into sending him their payments. Investigators became aware of the scam in March 2003 after a victim tried to mail in a payment for a ticket but had it returned as non-deliver­ able, a criminal complaint said. Prosecutors said the tickets were the exact copy of a parking ticket Gallagher received in February of last year, even down to the citation number. Investigators were able to trace the citation number to Gallagher, who admitted placing several of the tickets on vehicles parked near the Acacia Fraternity, police said. Prosecutors said Gallagher estab­ lished a post office box to receive payments for the $40 tickets and had placed payments, amounting to hundreds of dollars, in a separate bank account. — The Associated Press STATES LOCAL Missing girl found after stepfather's suicide MESQUITE - A 12-year-old North Texas girl taken from her home by her stepfather - who had recently professed his love for her - was found safe in Oklahoma City early Wednesday after her stepfather fatally shot himself in the head. Jami Hicks'stepfather, James Roy Hudachek, died at 12:02 p.m. Wednesday at an Oklahoma City hospital, according to a statement from Oklahoma City police Capt. Jeffrey Becker.

As many as 500 Kurds a day streamed into Kirkuk last month in a land rush that took city offi­ cials by surprise. The influx, which has slowed in September, leaves the city government struggling to cope with dozens of refugee camps on once vacant land. Migrants say they are reclaiming the ancestral city they were forced to flee under Saddam Hussein's campaigns to make Kirkuk an Arab city. 3 Americans convicted o f torturing Afghans in jail KABUL, Afghanistan — Three Americans — led by a former Green Beret who boasted he had Pentagon support — were found guilty Wednesday of torturing Afghans in a private jail and were sentenced to prison. After a seven-and-a-half-hour session in Kabul, the three-judge panel was unanimous in convict­ ing the former soldier, Jonathan Idema, and his right-hand man, Brent Bennett, on charges of entering Afghanistan illegally, making illegal arrests, establishing a private jail and torturing their captives. They were sentenced to 10 years. 3 found beheaded in Iraq, car bom b explosion kills 2 BAGHDAD, Iraq — Security forces discovered three beheaded bodies Wednesday on a road north of Baghdad, and a car bomb exploded in a town south of the capital, killing two people amid a surge of violence that has left more than 200 dead in the past four days. The bodies were found without documents near Dijiel, about 25 miles north of Baghdad.

Former officer accused of planning school seige By Burt Herman The Associated Press M OSCOW — Russian police investigating the Beslan school siege are looking inside their own squad house: O ne of the attack organizers was allegedly a for­ mer cop who disappeared six years ago. the He w ouldn't be first to turn traitor. Turncoats have appeared in the highest ranks of law enforcement in the Caucasus. Police have been accused of allow- ing Chechen rebels free passage through checkpoints — motivat­ ed by either money, sympathy for the fighters' cause, family ties, or a combination of all three. Vyacheslav Izmailov, a former army major who has worked to resolve kidnappings in Chechnya, said one example of a high-rank­ ing turncoat is a former interior minister of Ingushetia, a Russian region neighboring Chechnya. Daud Korigov, m inister from 1997-98, gave rebels the use of a house he owned in the Chechen capital Grozny and was even seen there among captives, Izmailov said. How many turncoats are there among law enforcement? "It's not a few," Izmailov told The Associated Press. Russian authorities say one of the plotters behind the attack in Beslan was All Taziyev, a police­ m an from Ingushetia. Taziyev w as allegedly abducted with another officer in October 1998 while guarding the wife of a gov­ ernment official. The woman was freed in 2000, and the body of Taziyev's partner was found in Chechnya. Later that year, a court in Ingushetia declared Taziyev dead. Now, Russian officials believe he went over to the rebel side, changing his name to Magomed Yevloyev and taking the nom de guerre "M agas" after the newr Ingush capital, the Vremya Novostei newspaper reported. Another security breach reveals vulnerability in London power house WILL FR1EDLE M S OWEN LOUISE LASSER RENEE TAYLOR N1KK! Z1ERLIN6 LONDON — In the second major security breach in London this week, five fox hunting enthusiasts stormed onto the floor of the House of Commons Wednesday to disrupt a debate on banning the centuries-old sport. Guards hustled the men away, but the incident showed — as did the man dressed as Batman who scaled the walls of Buckingham Palace on Monday — the vulnerability of Britain's seats of power. One lawmaker said there had not been such an intrusion in Parliament since 1642. Security was stepped up immediately, with armed police guarding the cham­ ber in place of the usual footmen and stewards. "Following M onday at Buckingham Palace and today at the House of Commons, serious questions need to be asked about how secure our major institutions are," said Conservative Party Chairman Liam Fox. Shocked lawmakers demanded to know how the five men, wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with images of Prime Minister Tony Blair sprouting devil horns, had evaded guards to enter the debating floor and reach the spot where Blair stands every week to answer questions. Some noted that security was supposed to have been intensified when two activists seeking improved child visitation rights for divorced fathers showered Blair and the chamber with purple powder.

M onday, the group submitted its findings, recom m ending the U T System not im ple­ ment an Internet filtering system. 1 he suggestion, however, does not yield free reign to one-hand­ ed typing; sev ere punishm ents exist for visiting pom sites. The five L ! em ployees w ho w ere fired last year for the offense certainly bore w ítness to pornography penalties. i he report specifically endorses "stronger m anagem ent action versus dependence on Internet filtering software in dealing w ith instances of abuse of Internet access." Self-regulation, rather than software packages that m ay restrict legitim ate W eb sites, should rem ain the standard for a college campus. ornographv became a touchy subject w ith in the System when it was discovered that 10 em ployees at the U T H ealth Science C enter in H ouston had visited adult sites using System computers. O fficials in 1 louston gave the em ployeés w ritten reprim ands, and the 1 lealth Science Center installed filters on their com puters to curb repeat offenses. 1 he biggest hurdle in using Internet filtering software comes in determ ining w hat m aterial should be deemed offensive. In 1964, Suprem e C ourt Justice Potter Stew art pondered the definition of obscene m aterial: " I shall not today attem pt further to define the kinds of m aterial I understand to be em braced . . . [b]ut I know it w hen I see it." 1 he line is too sketchy for a hum an to define, let alone artificial intelligence. W eb sites w ith questionable content but applicable purposes m ay get caught in the filter's net. Autom ated policing is never fu lly reliable; software meant to protect m ay indeed prevent, rem inis­ cent of the mass destruction in RoboCop III. The task force seems to be on the same page. " The use of an arbitrary internet filtering software package w ill not in most cases, be an appropriate solution to problem atic internet use by em ployees. Such software w ill fail to block all sites considered 'pornographic' or obscene w hile blocking m any sites that are m erely educational," said the report. B y Oct. Is, Yudof w ill decide w hether to im plem ent the task force s recomm endations. He should heed the suggestions of the Electronic M edia Standards Task Force by letting students, faculty and em ployees filter themselves.

VEPENPm ON WEIR ANSWERS’: V Flow of information is a 2-way street By Brian Boyko Daily Texan Columnist W hen John Lang Sin clair wrote "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You" in 1903, he had no concep­ tion of the fix the U n iversity and the rest of the nation w ould find them selves in 100 years later. The D aily Texan filed an open records request for inform ation about U n ive rsity surveillan ce in January 2003. The U n iversity filed a law suit against the Texas A ttorney G eneral to keep the inform ation from being released for reasons of "national security." Although the law suit contin­ ues, prospects seem slim that the Texan w ill be successful. U T System officials lobbied for a bill that made specific records — like the surveillance records sought by the Texan — retroac­ tively im m une to open records requests. It passed. The idea behind Freedom of Inform ation laws is simple. Concerned citizens and m edia watchdogs w ant to know w hat inform ation our governm ent col­ lects, how it is collected and w hat the governm ent does w ith it. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the govern­ ment's response to these sim ple and justified questions has been to deny answers and then, in turn, hypocritically investigate w h y cit­ izens want that information. Earlier this year, agents from the F B I and Secret Service from the A ustin Jo in t Terrorism Task Force investigated physics fresh­ man M ark M ille r after he filed an open records request regarding the steam tunnels under the cam ­ pus. D uring the investigation, M ille r was asked about several topics unrelated to the request — ranging from w h at groups he had joined or had thought of joining to his choice in hairstyles. W hen asked how he found out about open records requests in general, he cited the School of Journalism 's W eb site. The attitude of the investiga­ tors is clear: The governm ent has a right to peer into w h y citizens w ant inform ation, but citizens do not have a right to ask w h y gov­ ernm ent w ants inform ation. It should be the other w a y around. A fter Sept. 11, the role of the investigator m ay have taken on new responsibilities, and security does need to be increased. But the lack of transparency makes it far more lik ely that stonew alling w ill be used not to make people safe, but for tyranny. This stonew alling and one­ w ay flow of inform ation elim i­ nates public oversight of govern­ ment, increasing the tem ptation for abuse and decreasing the chances of detecting and stop­ ping abuse when it occurs. The increased secrecy is justi­ fied by im plying that it w ill keep us safe. B u t this is ridiculous — those bent on m alice don't file open records requests, leav­ ing a governm ent paper trail. Terrorists, crim inals and other ne'er-do-wells w ill find out the through in form ation critical other means. O n the other hand, the law- abiding public not only has no idea w hat the governm ent is doing w ith the inform ation it col­ lects, we don't know w hat the governm ent should be in vesti­ gating but isn't. O pen records allo w scru ti­ ny by the public and press to detect security holes before they are exploited and allow people to know w hich areas are truly secure — and w hich areas sim ­ p ly lull us into a false sense of security. U nd er the present paradigm of "secu rity through obscurity" w e have no w a y of telling if safety measures are ineffective; nor do w e have any w ay of telling if they are being abused. W e don't know w hen or w here w e are being w atched, w h ich only breeds the fear, uncertainty and doubt that renders people un w illin g to risk exercising free speech and dem anding due d ili­ gence of their ow n governm ent. W e can have both security and liberty, but that depends entirely on public access to inform ation. This is not a new concept — Ju ven al asked: "W h o watches the w atchm en?" during the Rom an Em pire — but as surveillance and investigation decrease in cost and increase in effectiveness, this con­ cept, crucial to any true m eaning of democracy, becomes increas­ ingly im portant to defend. The alternative is that we have to trust our governm ent im plic­ itly, w hich is the quickest road to ruin Am erica can take. Boyko is a journalism graduate student. Larry — gimme some money $507,199.35. I his w ill be the new salary o f U T President L a rry Faulkner, up from $483,047.00 — a 5 per­ cent increase. Fau lk n er's salary is largely (around 86 percent) funded by private groups, espe­ c ia lly the M aud M cC ain H ard in g Fund, w hich takes into account his need for a car, a housekeeper, club m em bership dues and tw o football tickets per year. A cco rd in g to a front-page article from The D a ily Texan, how ever, w e are in a budget crunch, w h ich means specifically that the LTI w ork-study program w ill be forced to eat a $175,000 cut in funding this year. A s a result, few er students w ill be able to support them selves w ith a U niversity-sponsored job. The article im plies that this problem does not exist in other states to the extent that it exists in Texas, w h ich begs the question: W h y aren 't w e ap p ro p riatin g m ore m oney to rem edy this problem ? I com e from a v e ry low- incom e fam ily and alm ost cer­ ta in ly w ould have qualified for a work-study op p ortu nity but, alas, I w as not aw arded one. Instead, I'v e had to take out siz­ able student loans so that I m ay pursue m y educational goals. In a not o b vio u sly related issue, m y dorm itory, M oore-H ill, just w ith in the past few days is getting hot w ater to w ork consis­ tently (if w ith decreased w ater pressure). A lso, I'm forced, in m ost cases, to p ay the U n iversity if I w ish to print out anything, even if for a class I'm taking. I w o n 't pretend to know exactly how the M au d M cC ain H a rd in g Fund w o rks; for all I know, that m oney could be restricted on ly to be spent on the president's salary. In any case, I find it appalling that, w h ile President Faulkner is getting richer — to be exact, $24,152.35 richer, w h ich is about w h at I w o uld m ake at m y job if I w orked full-tim e year-round (and I consider m yself ve ry well- p aid ) — I'v e had to go through three weeks of cold /lukew arm show ers, am not getting any financial help from the govern­ m ent w ith m y job, and I have to g ive the U n ive rsity m oney so that I can print out a paper for m y linguistics class, for w h ich I also give the U n iversity money. There is a clear problem here. N ickelin g and dim ing students, w h ile apparently unnecessarily offering raises to high-ranking U n ive rsity officials is absurd. Again, I am h ard ly a financial expert, so this all m ay just be a consequence of funds only being able to go certain places. It's still som ething students should think about. Patrick Nance Computer science junior Cutrell's Greg Davis lovefest C u trell's article on Greg D avis labels him a scapegoat. H ere's how "scapegoat" is defined by dictionary.com : 1. One that is m ade to bear the blam e of others. 2. Bible: A live goat over whose head Aaron confessed all the sins of the children of Israel on the D ay of Atonem ent. The goat, sym boli­ cally bearing their sins, was then sent into the wilderness. W h ile I certainly think Greg should be sent into the w ild e r­ ness, he is not a scapegoat as defined above. The blam e for the outrageous predictability of our offense is Greg D avis. W hat is shocking is that, of his 300-page playbook, he has managed to use about 10 plays. N ew s flash: Defenses now practice to defend the two-yard hitch/flats pass and the zone- read. There's a reason Tony Jeffery refused to catch the sec­ ond quick pass thrown his w ay Saturday night — he'd like to eat his Thanksgiving turkey this year w ith all of his teeth present and accounted for. M ost Texas fans understand that calling an offense is not sim ple. But some things are: If you run two plays out of one form ation, a defense o n ly has to make a choice between tw o options. Greg D avis, not M ack Brow n, abandoned the run in the second quarter of the Arkansas game, w hich m ade the offense sputter. Greg D avis called the H o lid ay Bow l. N o further com­ ment needed. I hope against hope that w e beat O U . If D avis calls the right game, w e can. I'll be happy to eat crow, but I doubt I'll have to. M ack Brow n is the goat's shep­ herd. It's time to send that goat out to be m ilked. Chris Panatier UT alum Dallas, Texas Why not Jesus? M ike O 'C onnor is a sm art guy, but he makes some unfortunately flip statements in Tuesday's col­ umn. First, w h y autom atically dis­ miss Jesus? That there are no like scientific tests for a "vag u ely defined personal experience" says nothing of the fact that m il­ lions of Am ericans have under­ gone som ething it. That if you look at religion beyond Christ, hundreds of m illions of people w o rld w id e feel a pow er­ ful relationship w ith God. Long ago, m illions of people thought the w o rld w as flat, and they were wrong. But some of those m illions w ere supposedly the w o rld 's smartest people. C row ds m ay not be a reason for a belief, but they aren't a reason against it either. D ism issing G od seems a bit chauvinistic. aren 't Second, w h y the Founders p hilosophers? They had a better political philosophy education than Am erican gov­ ernm ent students today. They knew Locke, Hobbes and the rest of liberal tradition. The Federalist Papers are more than a procedur­ al blueprint. A re they not, argu­ ably, a political philosophy? Third, there's a sim ple rea­ son w e don't talk about Raw ls in everyd ay political discourse: H e's hard to understand! The idea that w e can do basic justice, no pun intended, to Raw ls in even a serious political cam paign seems far-fetched. There are too m any issues; too m any questions that need to be addressed w ith non-philosophical answers. Political candidates have never talked about political theory. You m ight introduce Raw lsian ideas into a cam paign, but yo u 'd never w ant to bring his name up. Toq com plicated. Don't underestimte nuclear threat in Iran " It takes one nuke to destroy Israel, w h ile it takes m any to destroy us." These are the w ords of Iran 's form er president M oham m ad K h atam i. M arjo n R o stam i's article defending Iran is a sad d isp lay of ignorance ("N o proof for Iran 's nuke program ," Sept. 13). Iran is the greatest threat to the w o rld — be it W M D or ter­ rorism . The U N has condem ned the cou ntry's pursuit of nukes, w h ich there is solid evidence they are close to com pleting. Secondly, the Iran ian govern­ m ent is the largest supporter of terrorist groups in the w orld. They, along w ith the Syrians, fund and train the most danger­ ous groups in the w orld. They sup p ly all funds for Hezbollah, a group that killed more than 250 A m ericans in one attack. It is reported that most of the terrorists in Iraq are com ing in from Iran o r Syria. The Iranian governm ent trains H am as and funds A rafat. So, w ith such a record, Rostam i defends that governm ent's p o li­ cies and bashes ou r ow n for w anting to take action. If it was up to Rostam i, w e w o uld let the Iran ian governm ent finish b u ild ­ ing nukes, and then w e w ill see if they w ill be peaceful and not cause fundam entalist wars. It is a sad day w hen people defend governm ents that try d a ily to crush dem ocracy and actively pursue cruel w ays to kill.

Increasing tuition was neces­ sary after the Legislature cut funding to the University in 2002, Knight said. To counteract the cuts, the University slashed the budget by $25 million and dropped more than 600 posi­ tions through layoffs and retire­ ments. In 2003, when the Texas Legislature deregulated tuition, the University increased tuition, which will contribute 15 percent to the overall budget. "T he new academic sustain­ ability tuition is as simple as it sounds," said Brian Haley, for­ mer student government presi­ dent and member o f the tuition policy committee. "A s a result of a cut in state appropriations, the University had been placed in a situation where it must charge this new tuition to sus­ tain its academic integrity. We were facing a $99 million bud­ get shortfall." The overall tuition revenue the University collected this year is up 26 percent compared to fall 2003. The commission set aside 28 percent of tuition money for use in financial aid, and the rest will be dispersed between reno­ vations and salaries. The financial aid office received $17 m illion of the increase this year, said Henry U rick, assistant director of finan­ cial services. The aid will cover the entire tuition increase for students with family incomes of $40,000 or less. Only students with family incomes of $80,000 or more must pay the full cost of the fee. $16 million went to renova­ tions, for which the University had previously cut funding. Steven Kraal, associate vice president of campus planning and facilities management, said the University is still deciding which projects to undertake this year. As of this fall, every public uni­ versity in Texas had increased tuition and fees since deregu­ lation, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the University has increased the most. The average increase in the spring was 5.6 percent, with the University at 17.2 percent. This semester, the average increase w as 10.6 per­ cent. The University increased by 16.7 percent. reverend: Students split on same-sex marriage case From page 1 conducted a funeral for a gay man who had been beaten to death in a hate crime.

Kevin Potter, a m arket­ ing junior and spokesman for Young Conservatives of Texas, said the issue is not about dis­ crimination.

On Sept. 1, officials began m onitoring campus meters 24 hours a day, rather than offering free parking after 5:45 p.m. and on weekends. In the past, Harkins recom­ mended that campus meters have 30-minute limits, but said he revisits parking issues on a constant basis. Considering the scarcity of UT meters, he said, "I'm not a fan of parking meters because they don't serve our needs. It doesn't make anv sense to have them." Orange meters represent 40 of 14,500 parking spaces on cam­ pus. They are located near Jester, the main gate, the stadium and the Student Sen ices Building, he said. The parking meters' 30-minute time lim it exists so that people can drop things off and pick things up, Harkins said. The meters are not for students to use to go to class. After Harkins' recommenda­ tion, the time lim it w ill change only if the Parking and Traffic Policy Committee votes in favor of a change. The committee is made up of students, faculty and staff chosen every year. This vear's committee has not yet been formed, he said. Harkins said the catalyst for making all parking meters 24 hours was complaints by stu­ dents who could not find in and- out parking at night.

Journalism freshman Toby Salinger, who attended the event, said being Jewish in a mostly Christian society has its chal­ lenges. "It's tough sometimes," he said. "N ot many students share the common experiences that you have. Professors assign home­ work and don't make adjustments for you like they do for Christian holidays." Salinger said he would also like to see more decorations around the Jewish holidays. "Christians see decorations everywhere for Christmas and Easter. Around Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, you don't see as many, but you want to see that and feel as if you're part of a larger community," Salinger said. Because the Jewish community makes up such a small percentage of the general population, it is per­ ceived as different, Kessel said. "Jew ish students at U T are the same as other students [of differ­ ent faiths]," he said. Kessel said he looked forward to sharing challah, a braided egg bread and honey w ith his 2-year- old daughter. This ceremony, he said, "is especially meaningful with a small child." Accounting senior Stephanie Pronin said she thinks longingly of celebrations at home that are filled with family, food and friends. "One w'ay of life or one religion is not the only w'ay," Salinger said.

Kris Holland ¡ Associated Press Program will allow for dual degrees By Liz Austin The Associated Press DALLAS - Leaders of a project to redesign and improve Texas schools said Wednesday they've awarded the first in a series of grants for programs that would allow high school students to earn two years of college credit along with their diplomas. Grants totaling $480,000 were issued by the Texas High School Project, a $130 million initia­ tive funded in part by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and Dell Com puter founder Michael Dell. The project, announced in November by Gov. Rick Perry, calls for restructuring or building high schools in heavily minority or low-income areas. Five state university systems and higher education organiza­ tions were given grants to draft proposals for campuses known as early college high schools. The small schools blend high school and college courses to help poor and minority students earn col­ lege degrees. "There's an awful lot of kids out there if, given the challenge and given the opportunity, they will succeed," said Richard Diem, vice provost for K-16 initiatives at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Early college high school stu­ dents can earn a high school diploma and two years worth of college credits in four or five years at no cost. The students are expected to graduate with 60 college credit hours, including all their core courses and several in an area of concentration. Those credits can be transferred to any public university in Texas and would be accepted at many public and pri­ vate schools across the country. "Depending on what universi­ ty they go to, they can save a heck of a lot of money," he said. \ l 7A Thursday, Septem ber 16, 2004 T h e D v i l i T e \ vn Workers7 comp to get overhaul By Elaine Dalton-Mingus Daily Texan Staff The Texas workers' com ­ pensation system needs a com­ plete overhaul because it costs more than in any other state, yet injured workers continue to fall through the cracks, state officials said Wednesday. "It's no secret that Texas has been paying out more than any other state in the coun­ try and getting fewer workers back," said Rep. Peggy Hamric, R-Houston. T he Su n set A dvisory Commission, which assesses whether state agencies' func­ tions are necessary, authorized a plan to overhaul the system. The plan will be presented to the Legislature next year. the "I believe framework recommendations made will be the most dramatic changes in changing workers' compensa­ tion in 20 years," said Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton, the com­ mission's chair. The plan proposes abol­ the Texas Workers' ishing Com m ission C om pensation its responsi­ and reassigning bilities to the Texas Department of Insurance. Under the pro­ posal, worker and employer education and safety would be delegated to the Texas Workforce Commission. The changes could lead to the state cutting about 100 jobs, Solomons said. The commission also pro­ posed establishing an Office of Employee Assistance. "Employees don't know what is going on," Solomons said. "The injured worker needs a single point of contact so they don't have to talk to five people to figure out what to do in order to receive a paycheck." Solom ons patients said receiving workers' com pen­ sation must wait an aver­ age of 28 days for a paycheck, possibly causing some to lose their homes. He said he has known people in that situation. The goal, according to the com­ mission, is to get workers' pay­ checks out in 14 davs. The Texas W orkers' Com pensation Com m ission's process for resolving workers' compensation benefit disputes is cumbersome and discourages early resolution, according to commission documents. " I f s a horror story," Solomons said. "Disputes drag on longer and longer." Injured workers, employers, providers and insurance carri­ ers aren't happy with the current system, said Sen. Jane Nelson, R- Hower Mound, the commission's vice chair. "The system is so broken," Nelson said. "O ur objective is that Texas workers get well so they can return to work as quick­ ly as possible." 0U _ ow?

Petitioners are demanding a new investigator because four- of-five of the Republicans on the current counsel, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, received campaign donations from DeLay's political action committee. "All we're asking for is a non­ partisan counsel to investigate," said Laura Gross, press secretan’ for Democracy for America. "We want justice and the right thing to be done for Texans." The petition posted was for a week on D e m o c r a c y last Web site summer .and signed by peo­ ple from across Tom Delay, R-Sugarland the country. "The huge response shows that people all over the country care," Gross said. "All officials should be held to the same standard." Chris Bell, D-Texas, filed charg­ es against DeLay last June. DeLay was accused of trading favors for contributions, laundering illegal corporate contributions to influ­ ence Texas Legislative races and improperly involving a federal agency in a Texas partisan mat­ ter. The House ethics committee could look at the allegations as early as next week. Bell lost his re-election cam­ paign in the March primary after his district was substantially changed because of redistricting in 2003, a measure DeLay strong­ ly supported. "T h e redistricting put Democrats who have served their constituents well in the past, regardless of political party, at a disadvantage," said Marcus Ceniceros, president of University Democrats. Power does not give politicians the right to change who repre­ sents the people, Ceniceros said. "DeLay has divided Texas and possibly the country," he said. But DeLay's supporters strong­ ly disagree with the charges. "This is partisan politics at of its height," said Sachiv Mehta, the College chairm an Republicans at Texas "Tom DeLay is a dedicated public ser­ vant, and the petitioners should find better uses of their time and money." Mehta said the redistricting was necessary to better reflect the state's population and that DeLay has done nothing wrong regard­ ing campaign donations. He said it is not unusual for candidates from the same political party to receive donations from the same organizations. "Leftists are just looking for something to bring Mr. DeLay down because they don't like him ," Mehta said. "But they're going to find he really hasn't done anything wrong when it's over. My bet is that Tom DeLay will still be standing."

Rural Internet fees to increase By Halie Pratt Daily Texan Staff Rural Texas could be in for tech­ nological upheaval as utility offi­ cials begin adding a new charge for Internet service, which could decrease the choices available to consumers. The Texas Public Utility Commission ruled in mid-August in favor of charging access tolls for dial-up Internet service, which would impose upon Internet ser­ vice providers charges similar to long-distance calls. Rural areas will be affected more because larger cities usually have cable and wireless Internet choices. Internet service providers that do not provide area phone service will be charged an additional three cents per minute. That means ISPs could be charged up to $2,400 for providing 24-hour service in a 30- day period. Many ISPs are outraged. They say they can't afford the costs and are hesitant to raise prices. The move forces smaller provid­ ers to raise their rates or go out of business, leaving customers with few or no options, said Chad Kissinger, president of OnRamp Access, an Austin-based ISP that serves Texas metropolitan areas. "This is truly a consumer and com m unity issue," said Gene Crick, executive director for the Texas Internet Service Providers Association. "Affected areas will be left out. Some customers, how­ ever, seem less concerned. "I'd probably use SBC just so I could keep my Internet," said Cod Navarro, manager of a rural Dripping Springs Dairy Queen. SBC will keep flat-rate Internet scheme than reverting to a by-the-minute sys­ tem popular in the 1990s. its rather Customers will not be charged any new fees, said SBC spokes­ man Jean Acuna. "The changes that we're t.liking about are wholesale changes, not consumer changes," Acuna said. The additional charges art the utility commission's attem pt at regulating ISP prices, he said. Local ISPs said this is SBC s ploy to monopolize the rural areas. "This will turn rural Texas into a technology dustbowl," said Robert Howden, executive director of Texans for Economic Progress. Another hearing on the issue is scheduled for Sept. 30 at the Capitol.

Johnson Library and M useum Wednesday night. The panel, which included for­ mer U T swimmer Vanessa Richey, sports physician Mark Chassay, former bodybuilder Fred Kirksey and RunTex CEO Paul Carrozza, shared its views on performance- enhancing drugs and the laws against them. Kirskey said he faced questions about the legitimacy of his achieve­ ments throughout his career. "It's time to set the record straight," Kirksey said. "A re there people who cheat? Yes, but that doesn't mean they're going to w in." Form er sw im m er Vanessa led her high school to a Riche) state title in 1984 and was a mem­ ber of four NCAA championship teams while a UT student. "I did n't feel any pressure [to perform ance-enh,inrim x take take perform an ce-enh ancing drugs]," Richey said. "There was a lot of education at UT, not just about steroids." She said that although she understands the pressures, she believes "there is no place in sports for performance-enhancing drugs." Cárrozza said drug testing needs to be more consistent and questioned why athletes with doping problems in the past are still allowed to compete in some events. "Athletes should be natural," he said. "I don't think athletes should be tested after winning a medal. You give someone a medal, and they're up there, and then moments later, you take it away." C arrozza also sym pathized with young athletes and the pres­ sure on them to succeed. "A s school sports get more competitive, w hat used to be more of a college issue is flow a high school issue," he said. Kirksey said the media is part­ ly to blame for the bad reputation that lingers around athletes alleg­ edly using drugs. "A five- or six-second sound bite can only give so many facts," he said. "But the media never come back with retractions." Mark Chassay, the UT wom en's athletic team physician, discussed som e of the effects of taking cer­ tain drugs and other methods used by athletes. One method, called blood doping, involves giving one's ow n blood, going through regular physical train­ ing, and then having the blood put back into the body before an event. Chassay said the proce­ dure, when done properly, adds oxygen to the blood stream and is quite prevalent among cyclists. However, he w arned, if done incorrectly, the athlete is at risk for stroke or thrombosis. Panel organizer Steve Foster, a founding member of the Future Forum at the LBJ Library, wanted a diverse group to "inject a differ­ ent perspective" on the issue of drug use by athletes. ACL: Music fest will also feature local cuisine From page 1 percent will be from other areas inside Texas. Although the festival continues to grow in size through promo­ tion and word-of-mouth adver­ tising, organizers will cap the num ber of concertgoers at 75,000 per day, said Mark Higgins, a spokesm an for Capital Sports. Zilker Park, the venue for the festival, holds over 100,000 peo­ ple, but the event will maintain a better atm osphere if the crowds are limited, even if it means sell­ ing out o f tickets, Higgins said. Capital Sports has been busy setting up stages, portable toilets and booths for the last week and a half in preparation for the 200,000 music lovers that are expected to come through the gates over the course o f the weekend. D ow ntow n businesses are for a busy w eekend bracing as well. Eileen Reid-Buesing, a for spokesw om an the Austin Convention and Visitor's Bureau, estimates that the festival will bring roughly $11.3 million into the city's retail, hotel and restau­ rant industries. All the hotels dow ntow n are com pletely booked, said Peter M icalakis, executive director of Renaissance Hotel Austin. Waterloo Ice House employee Cary Hand said the restaurant would not be taking any chances of getting swamped by fans and would definitely operate at full staff during the event. "It is going to be a busy week­ end," Hand said. The festival is first and fore­ m ost about m usic, but it will also offer every th in g from a food court filled w ith local treats to an Internet booth w here fes­ tival patrons can e-m ail friends and relatives.

By Suzanne Gamboa The Associated Press W ASHINGTON - Texas con­ gressman Gene Green called on Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday to schedule a special Legislative session to end the state's practice of assigning all of its electoral votes to the presidential candi­ date who wins the state. "Since we had so many special sessions on redistricting, I think we can probably do another one on the Electoral College," said Green, a Democrat, at a Capitol news conference. The Legislature met three times in special session last year to redraw its congressional dis­ tricts. It also held a special ses­ sion this year to revise the state system for dividing property taxes among public schools, but failed to do so. The Legislature Green and Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., have introduced leg­ islation proposing to amend the U.S. Constitution to abol­ ish the Electoral C ollege and allow for direct popular elec­ tion of the president. He has drafted a letter to Perry' asking for the Legislature to take up the issue saying the presidential campaigns are largely ignoring Texas voters. He said he has yet to send the letter to Perry'. "W ithout having seen it, all 1 can say is Gov. Pern' is very sat­ isfied with the way the Electoral in Texas, and C ollege works though he'd be happy to con­ sider Congressman G reen's sug­ gestions, at this point in time, he knows of no reason that it needs to be changed," said Robert Black, a Perry spokesman. Green made a similar pro­ posal in 2001; the bill never got a hearing. The 2000 presidential election, in which A1 Gore won Texas has 34 Electoral College votes because it has two sena­ tors and 32 U.S. House mem­ bers. Green proposes they be awarded as is done in Maine and Nebraska. Two would go to the w inner statewide, and the rest to the w inner in each congressional district. "T he Electoral College w as only justified when our com ­ munications were poor, literacy was low and the voters lacked information about out-of-state figures," Green said. The Electoral College has its roots in slavery when the South to be outvoted, d idn't want because non voting slaves only counted three-fifths of one per­ son," he said. Baird said the system discour­ ages voting because people think their votes don't count. The electoral systern helps m aintain a stable tv>/o-pa rt\ system by preventing smaller party candidates from control- ling the outcom e c>i .m elec- tion, said David King, ,3 public policy professor at the John F. Kennedy School of Govn lew?1, King fraud at the local said. Although the consti tutional amendment proposal i> iunlikely to get much traction this session, Baird and Green said it -• proper to raise the issue now. Voters in Colorado will be allowed to decide Nov. 2 on a proposal to scrap the winner- take-all electoral vote sys tem. If the Colorado propo sal had been in place four yea ago, Gore would ha\ e earned enough electoral votes there to go to the W hite House.

Ju d g e says g a p to o w id e From page 1 of the state's education budget comes from property' taxes. The current finance system, known as Robin Hood because it takes property tax revenue from w ealthier districts and redistributes it to poorer districts, has been criticized for years by poorer districts, who want equal access to funds, and by wealthier districts, who want to hold on to their resources. Dietz agreed, citing the gap between "the haves and have- nots" as being too wide. "If the gap is not closed by 2040, w e'll have a population that is larger, poorer, less ed u ­ cated and m ore needy than today," Dietz said. "Yes, ed u ca­ tion costs money, bu t ignorance ends up costing a lot m ore." The state argued that the gap between the rich and poor districts has been closing, pointing to Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) scores from 1993 to 2002, when less wealthy districts saw a steep increase in achievement. Attorney's for the state remind­ ed Dietz that the Texas Supreme Court declared the system consti­ tutional in 1995, and since then the state has continued to make improvements. to The Legislature can appeal the decision, m oving the argu­ m ent the Texas Su prem e Court.

He did so by drawhng from his real-w orld expe­ rience, w hich has been extensive and varied. He produced for a range of artists, including King Jam es Britt, Tori Amos, Susanne Vega, Chuck Berry and Korn. H is w ork with King Britt produced three gold- and platinum -selling rem ixes, including the top 10 single "W here H ave All the C ow boys G one?" w ith artist Paula Cole. In his free time, Sarisky enjoys hanging out on Sixth Street and listening to the array of m usic. "F o r a city of a million people to have this vibrant of a m usic scene, Philly should be asham ed o f itself," he said. "W h at other city in the world, on a Sunday night, can you go out and see 40 dif­ ferent perform ances?" For his part, Sarisky can usually be found at one place. R oom ," he said.

Even w'hile studying chem istry in college, he never stopped playing m usic. A guitar player in an original trio called Perfect Strangers, his band toured all across central Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southern New' York. His cover band, C ross Roads Com m unity Choir, w'hich Sarisky describes as "a funky jam band w ith two gor­ geous fem ale vocalists," becam e really popular. "W e played about three or four tim es a month in front of a crowd of four or five hundred peo­ p le," he said. "W herever w e played, w e filled it." Sarisky continued recording and soon landed a partnership at Third Story Recording, a recording studio in Philadelphia. "I was sick of grad school," he said o f the decision. " I figured, if nothing else, [the job] will m ake me happy." A t the tim e, he w as com pleting his doctorate in chem istry at the U niversity of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. A fter 10 years of ow ning a com m ercial studio, an experience he called "d ifficult and stressful," heart problem s sent Sarisky to the hospital in 2002. "In the hospital, they w ere trying to decide w hat to do to keep m e alive for another 40 years as opposed to 10 years," he said. "T h ey insisted on reducing the am ount of stress in my life." So it was back to academ ia. job Sarisky accepted an artist-in -resid en cy in as program ad visor and princip le faculty A m erican U niversity's program in audio technol­ ogy- Shortly after, he interview ed for a position at the University. M usic school officials told Sarisky they envisioned a sound recording program other people w anted to copy. "A nd w'hen they said that, that pretty m uch did it," he said. "A great music city and a university that cares about doing things first-class — that's w hat convinced me I wanted to com e here." M ark Sarisky listens to m usic like it com es from an I.V. I m about as m uch o f a m usical slut as I could be, he adm its. That's why he said h e's glad to be in A ustin, a city he calls "o n e of the greatest m usic cities on the p lan et." H e's also excited about his new job. " It's totally a guilty pleasu re," said Sarisky, an assistant professor in recording technology at the U n iversity 's School of M usic. Sarisky, w ho just cam e to UT from Philadelphia, is the first faculty m em ber from the m usic b u si­ ness recording industry. H e's heading an in itia­ tive to establish a w orld-class recording technol­ ogy program at the University. "It's in the p ip elin e," he said. "It's a sp ecial­ ized degree in the School of M usic, prim arily for m usicians." Jonathan N esvadba, a radio-television-film and m usic senior, said he hopes to get the produc­ tion sk ills necessary to have a career in the m usic industry. Unfortunately, he w o n 't have a chance to graduate w ith a sound recording degree, since Sarisky projects the program w o n 't becom e o ffi­ cial until fall 2006. Fie said h e's glad the program is in the w orks, though. The program will train m usicians to becom e engineers and m ake records using m odern tech ­ niques, Sarisky said. "W e take m usicians, and I introduce all the technical abilities they have available to them to m anipulate so u n d s," he said. The new degree is essential for training m usi­ cians to meet 21st-centu ry needs, Sarisky said. Students w ho com plete the degree w ill also be qualified to get a business degree in either m usic or engineering, said G lenn Chandler, director o f the School of M usic. A degree in m usic w ith em phasis in recording technology requires a heavy w orkload, C handler said. The degree meets engineering standards for adm issions into a m asters program , he said, so freshm en will start out w ith calculus and heavy math and science. "It w ill be a very heavy d egree," he said. The prog ram 's size is lim ited, so adm ission will be highly selective. "W e d on't expect to have m ore than a dozen m ajors per year," C hand ler said. Lisa Lehman, a m usic senior, said she would have considered m ajoring in sound recording if it w ere offered w hile she was at UT, but adm itted the heavy course load m ight have deterred her. "It's w ell-rounded w ith lots o f calculus, phys­ ics and m usic," she said. "It just seem s kind o f heavy to me. But if you 're serious about it, then it's g reat." Targeting musicians A ccording to its Web site, Texas State U niversity - San M arcos, is currently the only university in the Sou thw est to offer a bachelo r's degree in sound recording. The U n iversity 's sound record­ ing program w ill not conflict w ith TSU 's 12-year- old program , Sarisky said, because the new pro­ gram w ill specifically target m usicians. "[T S U 'S ] program is geared tow ard real audio­ engineering, w here ours is more m usician-based," he said. "W e're not trying to train engineers, but w e're trying to train m usicians to becom e en gi­ neers. It's going to be a little m ore elitist." Sarisky plans for sound recording students to receive ind ivid u al studio instruction on an instru­ m ent in addition to learning the engineering side o f sound recording technology. "B ecau se they play an instrum ent, they under­ stand m ore," he said. " It 's easier if you already know' the m usical side as w ell." Faculty originally approved the degree pro­ gram in sound recording in the spring o f 2003, C hand ler said. Sarisky is revising the curriculum w hile he aw aits approval by m any d epartm en ts w ithin the University. In June, he also com piled a plan for new studio facilities, w hich the U niversity approved, Sarisky said. The school's current facilities are "fine for what w e d o," he said, " but w e d on't h ave the m odern cap abilities for advanced tech n iques." 1 he School of M usic has more than 600 perfor­ m ances a year that are all recorded by faculty and stud ents in the sound recording studio. O nce the new sound recording program is in full swing, the faculty plans to create a C D label as well, C h an d ler said. That, in turn, will be a huge ad vertisem ent for the School of M u sic," he said. Professional turns professor Sarisky has enou gh professional experience in recording and p rod ucing to teach students w hat they will need to know in the real world o f sound recording.

It was a simple touchdown late in a blowout victory over an overmatched squad struggling to keep even the Longhorn walk-ons out of the end zone. But to walk-on fullback Ahmard Hall, it meant so much more. "I know what I could be doing if I didn't have this opportunity," Hall said. "I'll never forget where I came from and where I could be right now." Simple, like the American flag Hall carried Saturday night in Arkansas, leading his team onto the field on Sept. 11 — the third Sept. 11 since the towers crashed and sent his life spinning. Hall, a U.S. Marine sergeant, had already seen combat once over­ seas. Now there was fighting to be done in Afghanistan, and the importance of American sports fades when bullets begin to fly. "Football is a game," Hall said. "What I went through was real, and it changed mv whole perspec­ tive on life — that eve rv day is a chance to do something great and just being thankful to have another day." Hall dreamed of playing football at Texas as a prep star at Angleton High School, but grades and SAT scores kept him from seriously pur­ suing it any further. So he joined the U.S. Marine Corp to "learn some discipline, get [his] act together and get [his] life straight." Hall may have gotten more than he bargained for, though, as the lessons would have to be learned under fire. Suddenly, Hall's story goes from simple to stupendous. The first stint was in Kosovo, helping other NATO troops fight Serbian troops in a civil war. The second stint started much closer to home — this rime with an attack on his home soil. He saw combat in both places, serving a total of five years, and said the value of the experience was immeasurable and the sense ot pride indescribable. But as he ful­ filled his duty overseas, the oppor­ tunity to go inactive and return to college presented itself. It was too good to pass up. Along the way he married Joanna, had a son, Mason, and picked up enough credits to trans­ fer to Texas. The next step, he said, was to try out for the football team. Hall not only made the team, but impressed his coaches enough to earn a little bit of playing rime as well. "H e does a tremendous job and does everything we ask him to do," HALL continues on page 2B "Our motivation was the record tonight."

Texas sets record for consecutive wins to open season with 24th By Eric Ransom Daily Texan Staff WACO — Texas came into its match against Baylor hop- ing to beat the record for consecutive games won. They left the Ferrell Center looking forward to a loss. The 24-0 run to open the season has shown a lot about the Longhorns to head coach Jerritt Elliott, but he knows that losses in matches can teach as well. "We need to get into a situation where we lost a game and learn to battle back to win the match," Elliott said. "It has been a nice run, but once it comes to an end, we're not too focused on it." The Longhorns came into the match anticipating the record and now that it is attained, Elliott hopes it wrill give confidence to the team. The players are also looking forward to the end of the streak, mainly to learn their mental toughness. Our motivation was the record tonight," sophomore Dariam Acevedo said. "We know tough times will come, but we look forward to the end and the chance to come back and win matches." Texas broke the streak that held at 22-0 by the 1990 team that reached the NCAA tournament's second round. The 8- 0 Longhorns are still behind the consecutive match record, also set by the 1990 team at 26-0. Pro career waits for Serbian star Freshman phenom Mihailovic trades in bombings for rackets By Shawn W hitehouse Daily Texan Staff Looking down the men's tennis roster, not many American bom players appear. Only six of the Í0 athletes come from the United States. The four non- American bom players come from all over — Mexico, Canada, Australia and Serbia. Milan Mihailovic, who calls Nis, Serbia, home, entered the United States for the first rime at 19 years of age. But, only five years ago, Mihailovic experienced something most Americans cannot even fathom. When he was 14 years old, he had a close encounter with the NATO bombings that were taking place in his home country. Bombs fell a mere quarter mile from his house. It was a scary, awful experience. The worst experi­ ence of my life by far," he said. "I wouldn't wish that experience on anybody." There were many sleepless nights for Mihailovic.

If you ask Longhorn senior distance runner and former high school wrestler Jon Von Letscher, it's the similarities that stand out over the differences. "They're both endurance-based sports," Von Letscher said. "I won most of my [wrestling] matches by holding out and outlasting my opponents and then pinning them in the last 30 seconds." Von Letscher, a former state wrestling competitor, has convert­ ed the frame of mind of a high- school wrestler into the frame of mind of a collegiate athlete. Von Letscher, like hundreds of athletes, trained during the sum­ mer to become a finely tuned ath­ letic machine. He believes each race is not only against others but against himself. "There's a point in each race where everyone has a moment of doubt," Von Letscher said. "You have to leam to overcome and beat that moment — somehow just trick yourself into going farther." Overcoming and bearing that moment takes hard work through­ out not only the season but over the course of all 12 months. Von Letscher's summer training pro­ gram was a building-block pro­ cess. The distance-athlete worked his way up from 30 miles per week at the end of May to 85 miles per week come schooltime in an effort to train for the fall campaign. And by doing so, Von Letscher goes through a pair of shoes roughly every 30 days. Von Letscher's hard-working strategy transfers not only from wrestling to cross country but car­ ries over to the academic arena as well. Last year he earned a spot on the Academic All-Big 12 First Team.

The win marked the longest winning streak for consecutive games won in program history, as Texas begins the season win­ ning 24 straight games. Though Texas holds a 52-2 all-time lead over Baylor, the crowd at the Ferrell Center made an interesting atmosphere for the Longhorn freshmen.

With a win, the A ggies (1-1) will enter Big 12 play with a w inning record, a feat that would have surprised many after their season-opening loss at then-No. 20 Utah — a loss in which quarterback Reggie VlcNeal broke a bone in his non­ throwing hand. Because the Utah gam e w as played Thursday night for a national telecast, M cNeal had enough time to heal from his minor hand surgery to play against Wyoming. The A ggies and McNeal both bounced back loss, the opening-w eek from handing the Cow boys a 31-0 defeat at Kyle Field. Though the offense posted an im pressive 481-yard perfor­ mance, it w as the defense that m ade the biggest turnaround from the previous game. The A ggie defense flashed signs of the old Wrecking Crew, holding the Wyoming offense to a m eager 181 yards. Texas A&M recorded six sacks and three inter­ ceptions in the shutout, a week after being dominated by a Utah offense that racked up nearly 600 yards of total offense. we * played NCAAFOOTBALt Station better at all CLEM SO N AT p o s i t i o n s TEXAS A & M than we did WHEN: Saturday, the w eek 6 p.m. b e f o r e , " WHERE: College Texas A&M c o a c h Dennis Franchione said.

Clem son entered the season with high expectations, ones that may have been lowered after two disappointing perform ances to start the season. The Tigers entered the season at No. 16, poised to make a run at the A CC title but stumbled out of the blocks. Clemson slipped by Wake Forest in a double-overtime thriller before falling at home to Georgia Tech last week. Clem son's strength coming into the season w as supposed to be its offense, and though the Tigers have been able to score plenty of points, they have committed five turnovers. Charlie Whitehurst, Clem son's heralded quarterback has thrown three touchdow ns on the season, but that number doesn't stand out as much as his four interceptions. Whitehurst, who has attem pt­ ed more than 40 pass attem pts in each of Clem son's two gam es, has posted a completion percentage of only 47.6 percent — som ething that does not result in wins, espe­ cially in a pass-happy no-huddle offense used by Clemson.

H e's not the fastest guy on the team, but he is alw ays the first one dow'n. He gives you 150 percent in everything he does." A gainst North Texas, he totaled three special-teams tack­ les en route to the shutout — a good showing by itself for his first game. But when freshman running back Ramonee Taylor busted a long run to put Texas on the goal line, things got even more special. "I had no clue I would ever score/' said Hall, w'ho even calls reporters "sir" and "m a'am ." "They called my play, and it w as one of the greatest feelings in my life once I saw' that orange and knew I w as in." It would have been a fitting end to a spectacular journey. But head coach Mack Brown had other plans. thriller Saturday night's in Fayetteville fell on the third anni­ versary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and a stirring pregame ceremony was planned featuring several soldiers and a flyover of four fighter jets. The Longhorns started a tradi­ tion two years ago, when wide receiver Roy Williams led the team onto the field carrying an American flag. Brown realized that the fitting start on Saturday w ould be for Hall to do the same. "I can remember as I w as com ­ ing out behind the team, seeing him standing spraw led out in the m iddle of the field w av­ ing the American flag," Brown said, w ho told Hall Thursday night that he would lead the team. "I thought how proud he m ust be, and how' proud all the Marines that are over there serv­ ing right now m ust be on a day like this." But Hall knows that his story might not yet be over. With the trigger of an explosion and esca­ lation of war in Iraq, he could find him self back in the real battles once again. Hall has two years left of inactive reserve duty and could be called back at any time. "It would be hard to leave the gam e of football that I love, but I know that I signed an obligation to go," he said. "I have a sense of pride for w'hat I have already done, but I am constantly think­ ing about the guys that are still doing it. You can't forget that." What he's done has earned the permanent respect from coaches and teammates. His w illingness to do it again m akes him, in their eyes, sim ply heroic. "It's nothing that 1 go out and block every day," fullback Will Matthews said. "That's fun. But he's been out there in the line of fire. I respect that." c r o s s c o u n t r y : Von Letscher second last week From page IB senior cam paign after walking on as a freshman in 2001.

"M y coach, Bane Jevremovic, was a friend of Ricardo Rubio. That's how I got recruited to Texas," he said. Rubio, who is the Longhorns' coach, was assistant head playing professional tourna­ ments in Yugoslavia when he met Jevremovic. The two were reunited last year at Wimbledon where Jevremovic told Rubio he had a player he thought was worth Texas recruiting. "I didn't know much about Milan, but I trusted the coach," Rubio said. "I never saw him play, but looking at his results in Europe, we knew he was going to be a great player for us." "College life is great. Mike it here. The peo­ ple are great, as well as the academics." M ilan M ihailovic, Texas tennis player M ihailovic plays a typi­ cal clay-court game that many Europeans, such as Spain's Alex Corretja and Juan Carlos Ferrero, have thrived on. To play a clay- court game, one must be fast on the court, use finesse instead of power and have few unforced errors. O ff the court, Mihailovic has adjusted well to his new' envi­ ronment and lifestyle in Austin. "College life is great. I like it here,” he said. "The people are great, as well as the academ ics." Academically, he plans to get a degree in kinesiology and work in sports medicine in order to follow in the footsteps of m em ­ bers of his family. But first comes his profes­ sional aspirations in tennis. He knows that to get there, things must go well at Texas for him self and his teammates. "I'm very excited. We have a very young team, but we all get along w ell, Mihailovic said. "W e're going to do our best to improve, and with hard w'ork, we know we can have good results." The men's tennis season starts Friday when the team hosts the Texas Invitational. NHI com m ission er G ary Bettm an gestures while speakin g du ring a news conference W ednesday in New York. The league ann o u nced it was im p o sin g a lockout of the players'association, effective Thursday. Frank Franklin II | A ssocia ted Press No surprise as sides remain miles apart from new agreement By Ronald Blum The Associated Press NEW YORK — The National Hockey League will lock out its players Thursday, threatening to keep the sport off the ice for the entire 2004-05 season. The long-expected decision w as approved u nanim ously Wednesday by NH L owners, who are demanding cost certain­ ty, which players say would be tantamount to a salary cap. Com m issioner Gary Bettman repeatedly belittled the union's bargaining position during a news conference to announce the lockout, talked about the pos­ sibility the confrontation would extend into the 2005-06 season and said the stoppage makes it less likely the NHL will partici­ pate in the 2006 Olympics. He made clear that this entire season could be sacrificed and said play could not extend into July. "If there's enough time to play some games, w e'll do it," he said. "If not, we w on't." T he sides have not met since a bargaining session last Thursday ended with the parties far apart, and there is almost no chance the season will start as scheduled on Oct. 13. Bettman told teams to release their arenas for other events for the next 30 days. "Unfortunately, the league has rejected all opportunities for com ­ promise, while stubbornly insist­ ing that Gary Bettman has the single solution to every problem — a salary cap," union head Bob Goodenow said. "A n honest part­ nership can never be achieved under the leagues 'my-way-or- the-highway' approach. ... Gary and the ow ners have chosen, through a lockout, to try to force players to accept a system they know players would never agree to." Bettman said the league's pro­ posals would lower the average player salary from $1.8 million to $1.3 million and said past losses gave owners no other choice. He also made clear that declaring an impasse under U.S. labor law and imposing new work rules unilat­ erally was an option, but said it has not yet been considered. "I think it's probably fair to say, w e're at an impasse right now," he said. Owners have contributed $300 million to a league fund to help get them through a lockout, and the union has retained licens­ ing money to help its members. Bettman said about 20 teams would lose less money during a lockout than they would if play continued. "The present system doesn't work for us," said Jim Rutherford, the president and general man­ ager of the Carolina Hurricanes. "W e need a new system. We're all frustrated by it." Players vow to resist a sala­ ry cap, and with the positions entrenched, a long stoppage is likely, one that could wipe out the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1919, when the series betw een M ontreal and Seattle was stopped after five games due to a Spanish influenza epidemic. "It is a sad day for all of us," Montreal owner George Gillett said. "W e're trying to do this to make sure there is competi­ tive balance for the M ontreal Canadians." The 30 teams — 24 in the United States and six in Canada — had been set to start opening training camps on Thursday, the day after the expiration of the current labor contract. The deal was first agreed to in 1995 and extended two years later through Sept. 15, 2004. Bettman termed the extension "a mistake, in hind­ sight." Som e players are expected to sign with European leagues, and others could join a six-team, four-on-four circuit called the Original Stars Hockey League, which is set to start play Friday in Barrie, Ontario. Others could go to a revived World Hockey Association, which plans to open Oct. 29 with eight teams playing 76 games apiece. Bettman said approxim ately 100 employees from the NHL's central staff of about 225 will be terminated to save money, most on Sept. 20. The stoppage is the first for a North American major league since the 1997-98 NBA lockout canceled 464 games, cutting each club's regular-season schedule from 82 games to 50. It is the third stoppage for the NHL following a 10-day strike in 1992 that caused the postpone­ ment of 30 games and a 103-day lockout in 1994-95 that eliminated 468 games, cutting each team's regular-season schedule from 84 games to 48. That lockout ended on Jan. 11, five days before the deadline set by Bettman to scuttle the season. Baseball has had eight work stoppages, the last running for seven and a half months in 1994- 95. It caused the cancellation of 921 regular-season games over two years and wiped out the World Series for the first time since 1904. W hile the NFL has had four strikes, including two during the regular season, the sport has enjoyed labor peace since 1987. NHL m anagem ent claims it needs changes in the labor con­ tract because teams are losing money, $273 million in 2002-03 and $224 m illion last season, according to the league. The NHL's average salary has risen from $733,000 at the time of the last lockout to $1,830,126 last season, according to the NHL Players' Association. W hile NHL revenue rose from $732 million in 1993-94 to $1,996 billion in 2002- 03, the league says that player costs have increased from 57 per­ cent of revenue to 75 percent over that period, figures the union dis­ putes. Unlike the other major sports, the NHL's revenue from broad­ casting is relatively small, $449 million from national and local contracts and new media in 2002- 03, according to the league. The five games of the Stanley Cup Finals on ABC averaged just a 2.6 rating last spring and the two on ESPN a 1.2 cable rating, accord­ ing to Nielsen M edia Research. This year's Super Bowl had a 41.3 rating on CBS, while last year's World Series averaged a 12.8 on FOX and this y ear's NBA finals an 11.5 on ABC. v o l l e y b a l l : Moriarty providing leadership From page 1B in the game. and tied the school record for consecutive wins. "Baylor cam e out aggressive and did not make a lot of errors," head coach Jerritt Elliott said. "We made some key plays in the end, and that shows you a lot when you have a young team ." After taking an early 4-2 lead, the Longhorns fell behind in a game filled with ups and downs and a heavily involved crowd. They did not capture the lead until the 25-24 mark. While it looked as though the Bears would run away with the first game, six service errors and several missed hitting attempts by the Bears kept the Longhorns Senior A ll-A m ericans Mira Topic and Bethany Howden led the comeback. Topic led with 17 kills, Howden and Brandy Magee had nine apiece. A t 5-feet-10-inches, M oriarty has taken control of the youth­ ful team and has been an inte­ gral part of a team that is setting school records. "It was good to get into it," Moriarty' said. "M y teammates are so good; it makes it easier on me." The second game proved a little easier on the Longhorns, as they saw their hitting percentage go from .139 to .237. While Baylor looked to ride its crowd from the beginning to pull the upset, Texas rallied to hold on to a second-game win. Texas never trailed and built a nine- point lead. Again, service errors crippled the Bears. A crowd of over 1,000 would go on to watch the Longhorns improve on their winning streak and open the conference play with a victory. And while the streak has been nice, all good things must end according to Elliott. "We told them to have fun with it," Elliott said. "But we are looking forward to it coming to an end, so we can see how we respond."

M O N T E R E Y — Thousands of m iles from the ram and w in d of H u m cane Ivan, a model oí the storm sw irls in the memory- and processors of a supercom puter that predicts its likely course and strength. W orkin g through com plex m athem atical equations that describe the atm osphere's behav­ ior across the globe hundreds of microprocessors perform billions of calculations each second on observations collected bv sensors dropped b y aircraft and other monitors. The result, after m ore than an hour of num ber crunching at the U.S. N avy 's Fleet Num erical w eather com puting center, is just one of the m any predictions gen­ erated by supercom puters around the w orld that help frame such life-or-death decisions as w hether to order evacuations and where to safely set up shelters. The program s that model the atm osphere and the high-per­ form ance com puters that do this w ork have revolutionized w eather forecasting im proving our ability to predict the paths of hurricanes and fluctuations in their intensity. In fact, the hurricane track error in the National H urricane C en ter's forecasts three-day has been cut in half since 1998, and since last year the center's m eteorologists have been issuing five-day forecasts w ith increasing confidence and accuracy. "It's one of the most rem ark­ able im provem ents in forecasting that I'v e seen in m y career," said Russ Elsberry, professor of meteo­ rology' at the N aval Postgraduate School in Monterey. The forecasts aren't perfect, par­ ticularly w hen it comes to long­ term tracking and intensity A few days ago, Ivan was thought to be headed for the Florida peninsula. E arlie r this month, H urrican e C harley's intensity unexpectedly- jum ped just before slam m ing into Punta Gorda, Fla. Still, emergency' officials w ere able to order 2 m illion people to evacuate for higher ground once Ivan turned tow'ard the G u lf Coast, thanks in part to the m od­ els run by supercom puters and the confidence forecasters have in the results. Im proving predictions is not just a m atter of buving more hardware, though that helps. The them selves num erical m odels undergo continuous revisions as researchers learn more about the atm osphere and im prove the accuracy' of their algorithm s. The models — actually com pli­ cated software w-ritten in a com ­ puter language called Fortran — attem pt to account for everything happening in the atm osphere on a global basis. "You don't |ust sit dow n and produce one o vern ig h t," said M ike C lancy, chief scientist at the Navy-'s Fleet N um erical M eteorology and O ceanography Center in M onterey. The program s incorporate law s fam iliar to anyone w ho passed a high school physics course, then factor m the chaos of the atmo­ spheric developm ents o ver time — an in finitely com plicated pro­ cess To organize it all, a three- dim ensional grid — a virtu al net — is layered over the Earth. A t each point where the grid inter­ in itial observations of air sects pressure, hum idity, temperature, w ind speed and other factors are processed b y the com puter to fig­ ure out how they w ill change at future fixed points in time. Just as a 5-megapixel digital camera more accurately depicts reality than a 1-megapixel device, higher resolution grids can cap­ ture a better picture of the atm o­ sphere and help produce accurate forecasts. That, of course, requires more com puting power. "Yo u're alw ays trying to make the resolution higher and higher. W hat lim its that is the p ow er of the supercom puter," C lan cv said. "A t the same time, vou have to do these com putations in a rea­ sonable am ount of tim e." Still, the initial observations — usually- extrapolated from the readings m ade by instrum ents called dropsondes that are tossed into storms by the crews of hur- ricane-hunter aircraft — are often just approxim ations them selves — a factor that can cause results to be less reliable. To increase confidence, there are several different types of models, each of w hich produc­ es different results. Em ergency planners can then make their ow n judgments. In few' the next years, researchers at the N atio n al Atm ospheric and Oceanographic Adm inistration plan to un veil a new, higher resolution model that better addresses the interaction of the sea, land and atmosphere. Am ong other measurements, it w ill use data from N O A A 's Gulfstream IV jet, w hich is being outfitted w ith a D oppler radar that w ill provide a three-dimen­ sional description, from sea level to the top of a storm. "W e believe this is ot funda­ mental im portance in addressing and im proving the intensity fore­ cast,' said N aom i Surgi, advanced project leader for hurricanes at the N ational W eather Service's Environm ental M odeling Center. It also should help scientists better understand and p re­ dict behavior when there aren't strong steering currents in the atmosphere. The new model w ill run at a M aryiand supercom puter facility that currently ingests 116 m illion observations each day to provide guidance, not just for hurricanes but for all forecast models, said Surgi. Such system s can cost from $1 m illion to $30 m illion, but the extra com puting muscle w ill be needed as researchers struggle to do everm ore calculations, ever­ more quickly. "The data w e predict is very perishable, Clancy' said. " If w e took three days to do a three-day forecast, it w ouldn't be relevant." ' ,asoa' V Technologies o r Aug. 2¿ n Cambridge, Mass.

H arvard was linked to the B B N netw ork in M ay and to Boston University' in June. Quantum encryption has its roots in the "one-time pad" svs­ tem used by spies in W orld VVar II. These were identical pads of random numbers, each page a different key for encoding and decoding messages. A code could be unscrambled on lv if the recipient had the same page as the sender. On the quantum network, a laser separates in dividu al pho­ tons, and sends them to a device called a modulator. The m odulator pum ps them out to other netw ork nodes on fiber optic cable. The photons are encoded by sending them out at different intervals: A long gap indicates one bit of infor­ m ation, and a shorter one a different bit. O n the receiving end, another device accepts the photons and recognizes how they're m odu­ lated . If the sequence matches w hat w'as orig in ally sent, then the keys are stored and used to unscram ble data sent through conventional means between the different netw ork nodes, such as over the Internet. Eavesdropping on the pho­ tons, such as setting up a photo detector to read the code, dis­ rupts them, m aking the codes unusable and alerting the net­ w ork to the snooper.

Frommer The Associated Press W ASHINGTON - The way the Smithsonian's new Museum of the American Indian tells the story of native people is as varied as the people it celebrates. The museum houses 8,000 objects from across the Western Hemisphere. There are movies and music; paintings, photographs and sculptures; masks, weapons and animals; jew elry and medals; even food and plants. "Visitors will leave this muse­ that um experience know ing Indians are not part of history," said the m useum 's director, W. Richard West Jr., who is of Southern Cheyenne extraction. "W e are still here and making vital contributions to contempo­ rary American culture and art." ih e museum, which opens Tuesday, is expected to draw 4 million visitors a year. While an occasional drilling sound could be heard during a preview tour Wednesday, the museum is almost in opening-day shape. S m ith so n ia n In stitu tio n Secretary Lawrence Small called the five-story building a visu­ ally stunning edifice that offers a blend of nature and technology, of symbolism and significance. "It's a living tribute to the first inhabitants of this nation," he said. The museum sits on a four- acre site between the Capitol and the Washington M onument and takes up the last remaining spot on the grassy National Mall. It is surrounded by 700 trees and fronted by a wetlands area with plants such as wild rice and yel­ low pond-lily. Its from exterior, m ade Kasota limestone quarried from Minnesota, is rounded to reflect the curves of the earth, sun and moon, and the inside features a skylight topping off a series of narrowing concentric circles that make up the building's ceiling. A good place to start a visit is at the 125-seat Lelawi Theater on the fourth floor, where viewers can get a museum overview by watching a 13-minute presenta­ tion called "W ho We Are." im ages Sim ultaneou s are beamed at view ers from three places: small video screens in the center, a 40-foot planetarium-like dome on the ceiling and a rock­ shaped projector on the floor, which starts out as a storyteller's fire. The film shows Indians work­ ing, praying and hunting, along from South w ith landscapes the to D akota's Black Hills Alaskan coast, and animals such as elk and whales. The m useum opens with three permanent exhibits: "O ur Universes," featuring tribal phi­ losophies and world views; "O ur Peoples," a look at historical events from a native peoples' per­ spective; and "O ur Lives," which focuses on native people today. The "O u r Peoples" exhibit tackles some issues of interac­ tion with the U.S. government its European predecessors. and It includes highlights — such as U.S. currency with the faces of American Indians — as well as lowlights, from treaties violated by the government to weapons used to kill Indians. N ext to a display of European sw ords, for exam ple, the text grimly notes that these weapons "easily penetrated Indian shields and allowed Europeans to kill their opponents at arm 's length." But there is only a passing acknowledgment of tribes' rela­ tively recent involvement in gam­ bling casinos, incom e genera­ tors for nearly 40 percent of the 562 federally recognized tribes. In "O u r Lives," a panel titled "H ard Choices" talks about the deep division over gaming within Native America. Tribes m ade w ealthy from gaming revenue contributed $33 million toward the m useum 's $214 million cost. There is also a changing exhibi­ tion gallery, which will feature the art of American Indian art­ ists George M orrison and Allan Houser in its inaugural exhibit, "N ative M odernism ." Visitors can also check out interactive displays as they make their way from one exhibit to the next. In one such display — a col­ lection of animals made of wood, ceram ic and other m aterials — visitors can touch a computer screen that brings up information about each one.

A bustling city of 1.3 million, Juarez mixes neon lights and one of M exico's higher standards of living with large pockets of pov­ erty and despair. It's a city that can use help. Passing on a miracle ih e team takes to the drug- infested streets to pray with peo­ ple. Inside a pastry shop, a man named Eduardo tells Janet Swann his wife can't seem to conceive a child. "I had a miracle baby," Janet tells him. "So do you mind if I lay hands on you?" She touches his shoulders and asks God to deliver a "special child." For the fun of it Thursday night is the next-to- last. M exican children line up to swing at piñatas. sing in Spanish. "H it it! Hit it!" the children Kids of both nationalities rush for the candy when each piñata breaks open. Later, Taylor helps distrib­ ute new clothes purchased by Sojourn Church members back home to each child. On Friday morning, as the team bids farewell to volunteer cook Norma Rayas, Taylor's pastor, Mike O 'Rand puts a hat on the table and invites gifts of thanks for her. Next comes the most antici­ pated event: In rented city buses, the mission team takes the entire orphanage to a water park. The kids happily splash, float in yellow inner tubes and play Shocking conditions After a 90-minute flight, the mission team arrives at El Paso International Airport, just across the Rio Grande from Juarez. The team loads its luggage into three vehicles, then squeezes in. As the van heads to the border, Taylor bounces around in the back with his friend Dustin Swann, also 11, and D ustin's 7-year-old sister, Rebekah. The entire Swann family, including parents Richard and Janet, is making the Juarez trip for the first time. M inutes later, the van pulls through a chain-link gate into a parking lot/playground. Taylor races to the dorm room where he and 17 other men and boys will sleep, then without tak­ ing a breath, he and Dustin hurry outside, looking for friends. It will take D ustin's mom a bit longer to adjust. Upon arriyal, Janet Swann dodges holes' in the walkway and ducks under lines of drying clothes. She gasps at the com­ munal showers and beds stacked within inches of each other. "Is there a cold drink some­ w here?" she asks. Living contradiction Emmanuel Children's Home, which serves about 100 children, occupies one of the highest points in Juarez. "A light at the top of the hill," says director Jonatan Lopez, 29. leed your wisdom teeth removed? Right now PPD Development is looking for men for a post surgical pain relief research study.

PPD D e v e l o p m e n t m A subsidiary of PPD Inc For more information, call: 462-0492 CIUDAD JUAREZ, M exico- A s the sun beats down on the yellow plaster building with the trash dump out back, the skinny American kid with freckles raises his shovel again. Eleven-year-old Taylor Eckert is part of a crew digging mounds of dirt 5Q0 miles from his subur­ ban Dallas home. W hile friends are at camp or the mall, he's sweating in Juarez, a world of poverty and hurt. "W e need a dump truck and a bulldozer," he jokes as he tosses into an old another shovelful pickup. It's a labor of love, part of a project to build a retaining wall at an orphanage. W hy have these folks from a land of plenty come to Emmanuel Children's Home? Taylor himself lost his father to melanoma; that's part of what motivates him to help orphans. He has a big brother, Lee, a 20- year-old Marine serving in Iraq. Service, too, is part o f what brings Taylor here. Mainly, it's more mysterious for Taylor and the others toiling in the midday sun. They're from a church in Carrollton that started visiting Juarez eight years ago. Besides physical labor, their time is filled with games, songs and prosely­ tizing. For all, but especially newcom­ ers, the visit brings complex em o­ tions, questions nibbling at the edges of faith and tears warring with laughter. It's 12 days before the Juarez trip, and Taylor has hustled into the planning meeting straight from karate practice. Sojourn Church, Taylor's con­ gregation, believes in modern- day miracles, a personal Holy Spirit and the laying on of hands to share God's power. Taylor asks for G od's blessings on the journey, then adds, "Lord, I pray that you would bless the children. Help them know that they have a spiritual father even though they may not have an earthly father." T h e sixth-grader lives with his mother, Eleanor, and sister, in a m odest brick Racheal, 9, house in Lew isville north of Dallas. "W e're on Social Security, and the budget's really, really tight," says Eleanor Eckert, 43, whose husband, Raymond, died in 1995. "But G od's really good, and we're never lacking." Taylor's brother w as the first to go to Juarez; he went twice with the church youth group. Taylor heard the stories. How Lee worked with the homeless. How he helped make coffins for fami­ lies too poor to afford them. How he cut crosses out of tin cans to THINK OUTSIDE FOUR PERPENDICULAR S I DES ON A GEOMETRICALLY S0UARED BASE.

Straight up raw, "front porch" garage phunk, courtesy of these astro­ nauts from another galaxy, w ho come here to freak the universe w ith a sound unto its ow n — a sound coined bv G. himself as "hip-hop blues." The day of the interview I was a nervous wreck, though after our initial exchange, G. Lo ve and I were comfortable enough to rant about everything from Dobros to lemonade. A Dobro is a type of acoustic steel guitar w ith an alum inum resonator, one of G.'s m anv weapons of choice. A s for lemonade, G. explained to me that, "Fo r one thing, it's a good thing to rhym e." H e went on to say, "Lem onade is like a tradition. Lem onade is how the front porch is. I just sit there and absorb those tw o things and make m y music. Probably like 70 percent of m y songs are written on a front porch somewhere." The new record, "The H ustle," reintroduces the vintage G. Love and Special Sauce of the past and acquaints us w ith the G. Love and Special Sauce of the future. Once again, the groove is produced with the basics, G. on guitar and harmonica, Jim i Prescot on the upright bass and Jeffrey "H o u se m an " Clemens on set.

Love, it's time that you lend me your ear. Put d ow n those creamy cream-puff albums, or w hatever other mainstream garbage that has snuck into your record collection, and realize that there's more. It began in high school, like any other schoolboy crush, I was introduced to an artist w ho I w ould grow to love and develop an intim ate relationship for. M v relationship thus far has been com pletely one-sided. K ind of like the girl you have a crush on, but she has no idea, so you become friends, and then the relationship gets aw kw ard w hen you reveal your love. C all me a romantic, but such has been our affair. Then on Aug. 5, 2004, w h ich marked a telephone inter­ view-, our relationship changed. Backslide to 1998. I'm on a snowboard trip m y junior year of high school to Angelfire, N .M . It's early in the morning, the first day of actual m ountain time, and m y roommate is already up. There's a slow-flow- jazz groove resonating in the background, and a slop-slurred voice is yaw n ­ ing out lines like, "Stick it in the Fridge" and "This A in 't Livin g ." The hairs on m v wrhole body stand on end, m v ears perk up and heads starts bobbing. I sit in the room for aw hile, in a trance, drinking d ow n their flows like NELLY: Emcee speaks out From page 8B for nam ing you r energy drink Pim p Juice. N elly: I d on't think they understand. They hear the word, and they think, 'Oh, m y good­ ness, but you re not protesting C oke and Pepsi, and thev have caffeine and stuff that is addic­ tive and stuff that can harm vou if you drink that. Pim p Juice has none of that. It's good for them. Som etimes you have to w ra p it up in bad, so they can get the good out of it. If you understand me, it's not even m y angle. M y son m ight come in and get two As and a B, and be like, 'M an , I pim ped that te s t!'... It's just different these days. It's just lingo; it's just slang. A P : H o w do you respond w hen people sav vou're not a role model? N elly: I don't see m yself as a role model. I see m vself as an inspiration. I can be an inspira­ tion for someone w h o's been in the situation that I'v e been in and m aking good out of it. A role model should be someone w h o's close to you, someone w h o you can pick up and call w hen you're about to do some­ thing stupid or you have a ques­ tion about life ... A role model should be some person who you can actually see the role of their life. You can't do that w ith ath­ letes and entertainers, so I don't kn ow w h y people just insist on m aking us role models. W e're success stories.

I'm a C ake fan, and I d on't even know how to categorize this group. But if I had to, which it w ould be som ew here I do, along lines of funk-pop, the jazzy and country-rap guitar rock. Did I leave anything out? There's a little surf som ew here in there too. Probably best known for the deep, bone-dry vocals of front man John McCrea, w ho sounds like an incredibly apathetic sing­ er if I've ever heard one. But it's that not really singing, not really rapping style that fans adore about Cake. That and their lyr­ ics chalked full of irony and grim acing satire, yet you d on't have to be an English m ajor to appreciate them. A lthough the Sacram ento quintet is frequently compared to Soul C ou ghing and King Missle, they may be far more instrum ental. I mean c'm on, w ho uses a therem in and gets aw ay with it on the radio? The jazzy trum pet m elodies and funky bass lines add to the odd but enticing singalong hooks. The group has received a consid erable am ount o f air­ play since their sophom ore album "Fashion N ugget" (1996). "M otorcade of G enerosity/' their 1993 debut, seem ingly flew in under the radar but was also just locally distributed. "N u gg et," on the other hand, unfortunate­ ly pegged them as one-hit w on­ ders with their single (appro­ C A K E priately used at many sporting events) "The D istance." Their remake of Gloria G aynor's "I Will Survive," though popular, didn't give them m uch critical acclaim because it w as thought as a put-d ow n delivered by M cC rea's m onotone vocals. C ake put the one-hit-w on- der rum or to rest with its plati­ num release of "Prolonging the M agic" (1998) w hich housed the successful single "N ev er There" and track "Sheep Go to H eaven." Then "C om fort Eagle" (2001), surfacing as their high ­ est charting album yet, released "Sh o rt Sk irt/L o n g Jacket" and even earned them som e MTV airplay. A fter num erous sw apping the group of band m em bers, proves to be a testam ent to m usi­ cal originality and w onderful songw riting ("Frank Sinatra"). However, the band is far from finished as their new est album, "P ressu re C hief," is slated to hit stores Oct. 5. This album also marks their first recording outside a studio and in, of all places, a converted house in their hom etown of Sacram ento. It seem s to be a precise reflec­ tion of their dry and arid sound. Regardless, it should be a good show, especially if you like the "aw w w w yeaaahhhs." Cake will perform at the Austin City Limits Festival Saturday from 7:45 p.m.- 8:45 p.m on the Bank of America Stage v ” ¡H p o r e cash scholarships Form ing in the e a rly '90s, Cake is know n for referring to various m usical touchstones in order to co n ­ coct their ow n brand of'geek- rock.'The band plays the Austin City Lim its fes­ tival this w eek­ end.

The buyer, Sharon Graves of Grand Island, Neb., already has an extensive collection amassed by her husband, Terry Graves, a long­ time Johnny Cash fan who died three years ago. "It'll be the centerpiece of the collection," Graves said. "I bought it in his memory." The guitar, made in the 1960s by Billy Grammer and labeled "Custom Made for Johnny Cash," was one of nearly 800 items con­ signed to Sotheby's auction house by the Cashes'children after both performers died last year. A set of memorabilia from Folsom Prison including a striped prisoner's jacket, presented to Johnny Cash by a warden after he performed there, sold for $6,000. The prices include the auction house's commission of 20 per­ cent of the hammer price up to $ 100,000 and 12 percent of any­ thing above that amount. — The Associated Press Recycle your copy of T h e D a i l y T j A ñ l Who will be the new College Poker Champion for 2005? doors OPEN Play (or 1,370 cash scholarships worth $1 10 Spring Break vacations in Cancún, Mexico ♦ NO ENTRY FEE > NO COST ♦ NO GAMBLING visit www.CollegePokerChanipionship.coni To become a Campus Student Rep, register online. naca tXA S UNION BALLROOM ¡5 III STUDENTS SID GENERAL ADMISSION TRAVESTY AS BO T HEB ON T 0 4 P Fall 2004 Dining & Entertainment Guide This new spaper was printed with pride by The Daily Texan and Texas Student Publications.

This Italian restaurant is named for the 20,000 pound brick oven that gives its pizzas an edge, but they also have good salad, tiramisu and other dishes at their Austin locations. A t ACL, they will have cheese, deluxe veggie, pepperoni and Cooks Spicy Special pizza by the slice for $5 each. Their cheese pizza, with their signature thin crust, shows that a pizza without elaborate toppings can still be flavorful. Pepperoni comes evenly cov­ ered with just the right am ount of thin slices of pepperoni. For vegetable lovers, the veg­ gie deluxe offers all the freshness of a garden salad. The vegetables consist of black olives, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, garlic and jalapenos. W hile the jalap- enos add lots of heat, they may mask the flavor from all these other veggies. The onions and bell peppers come slightly crisp and provide nice texture to the pizza itself. And for those who like meat with their vegetables, check out the Cooks Spicy Special. A mix of pepperoni, Canadian bacon, spiced beef, onions, green peppers, garlic, jalapenos, Roma tomatoes, mozzarella and Romano cheese, it is as filling as it is tasty. It is, as the name implies, quite spicy. If you miss these pizzas after the fest, you can find these and more at Brick Oven restaurants. And if you can't decide which pizza to order, have no fear. Their staff is happy to accommodate diners by dividing your pizza into two sections of different top- pings. Am erican Express, cash, gift certificate, MasterCard, money order and Visa accepted. Waterloo Ice House D on't let the name mislead you: W aterloo Ice House sells more than just lots of beer. For ACL, select from cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, chicken breast sandw iches and fajita tacos. This place got started in 1976 by selling burgers and has used the popular food to help it gain its fan base. Their burgers look like something out of a truck stop diner, and even the buns glistens with grease. Their classic cheeseburger is nothing fancy.

A thin meat path' sits between two soft, thick buns which come without the sesame seeds so popular at m any fast food res­ taurants. Also, unlike fast food cheese­ burgers, theirs are loaded with enough fresh lettuce pieces, pick­ les and onions below the patty that a generous dietician may give you credit for eating a full serving of vegetables. The cheeseburger is also a nice departure from the typical $8 music venue variety. A t just $5, this one also tastes good. I hese cheeseburgers provide a hearty meal that w ill keep you full, so you w o n't waste so much time in food lines and will have more time to spend checking out bands. I hey're also easy to carry around and eat. if you're more into chicken dishes, go to one of their res­ taurants and order Ranch House Chicken. 1 his dish comes with tw o grilled chicken breasts topped with bacon, mushrooms, grilled onions, poblano peppers and jack cheese for $7.75. Salt Lick Three Sixty The original Restaurant, alive Salt Lick and w ell in D riftw ood, has served the University com m unity as a pop­ ular site for student banquets. Now, the newer Salt Lick Three Sixty brings its popular barbecue to A C L. This abbreviated menu w ill include chopped beef barbecue sandwiches ($5) and sausage wraps ($3) that trade the tradi­ tional tortilla for a slice of bread, ($5) sloppy nachos featuring chopped brisket and green chile queso over tostadas and Bucket O 'R ib s with coleslaw ($8). A n ything with their terrific sauce, tangy and slightly sweet, is worth eating. Barbecue is not alw ays the easiest food to handle unless seated and armed with lots of napkins. Luckily, bread w ill provide some structure for the chopped beef and sausage, w h ile the bucket w ill make the ribs a lot easier to handle. As for the mobility of sloppy nachos, consider it just more of a tasty challenge. W h ile the D riftw ood location just offers barbecue, the new loca­ tion has a more extensive menu, kind grilled salmon over spinach and arugula w ith apple-wood smoked bacon vinaigrette for $13.95, oysters with house-fried potato chips and chipotle remou- lade for $8.95 and Caesar salad for $6.95.

Curra's Grll In a city well-served with Tex-Mex, it's nice to find a great spot for interior Mexican food, too. Their A C L offerings include nachos and che ese ($3), veggie tamales (3 for $3), chicken tacos ($3) and steak tacos ($3). Their nachos and cheese w ill allow you to enjoy Curra's queso without having the hassle of dip­ ping the chips yourself. The queso is creamy yet packed w ith strong ch eese flavor. Thank goodness there is an alternative to those soggy round com chips smoth­ ered in canned cheese that seem to be at every sporting event. A vegetarian option, the veggie tamales are mild and contain a mixture of com, zucchini, squash, tomato and spinach. O rder this in the restaurant to get a smoky borracho sauce w ith it. The chicken tacos, in flour tor­ tillas, are tender and stained red from a tangy marinade, but the steak tacos steal the show. The steak is just as tender and comes w ith plenty of Monterrey Jack cheese and roasted pobla­ no peppers. Though somewhat greasy, these have a great combi­ nation of flavors. Curra's Grill w ill also bring their smooth and spicy hot sauce as well as pico de gallo to add to any of their menu items. Come in to their north or south Austin location and get cheese enchiladas with the unique allen­ de sauce (made from pecans and m ilk) for $7.52. Amy's Ice Creams l hey have several locations throughout Austin, including one in Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. There is one in San Antonio and two in Houston You J e re m y B a lk in Daily Texan Staff can also find A m y's Ice Creams on A I Roker's show on the Food N etw ork on Oct. 26 and at the A C Lfest. This company is about as old as a college underclassman and is known for its super rich ice cream with 14-percent butterfat. Musician Bob Schneider and Sandra Bullock used to frequent these ice cream shops years ago when they dated, but tons of other Austinites worship A m y's Ice Creams as well. I heir catering manager, M ichael Ferony, said only the most durable flavors which can best handle the heat made the menu. The music fest flavors w ill include Mexican vanilla, Oreo, Belgian chocolate, and possibly another flavor or two. W h ile A m y's Ice Cream s em ploy scoopers who w ear funny hats and noisily "crush-in" fruit, candy, cookies and more, don't count on such elaborate service at A C L. "W e'd need safeguards if we're going to play with the food," said Ferony. W ith sneeze guards and other items mandated by health code left behind, there w ill only be pecans, M & M 's and maybe sprin­ kles as toppings. All their locations constantly offer Mexican vanilla, Belgian chocolate, white chocolate, sweet cream, dark chocolate, just vanil­ la and coffee ice creams. Seven other flavors from a massive list rotate through the stores, includ­ ing Guinness, mango, w hite cof­ fee, chocolate Italian cream cake and gingersnap ice creams. Purchase a small for $3, a large for $4 and toppings for $1. V\ hat could be sweeter than A m y's Ice Creams and the Pixies all in th e same place?

You can only do Wok 'n Go so many times, and those egg roll stands leave you feeling strange after a few minutes. W hy are there so few restau­ rants representing continent that houses almost two-thirds of the world population? W here to turn for your Asian food needs? W ithin a few miles of campus are a number of restaurants that can satisfy your craving for the East. 1. Clay Pit Indian Cuisine in a Romantic Atmosphere The dining atmosphere begins outside as you approach the historic Bertram Building on Guadalupe. You m av have to be content with the outside of this elegant brick structure, for park­ ing can sometimes be difficult. Once inside, you may be in for a short wait on the weekends, but not to worry, their large leather sofas are about as comfortable as they get. If you come during lunch, you can enjoy their lunch buffet for seven dollars, a bargain consider­ ing the quality of their food. The wait staff is friendly and they keep your water glass full, which is a blessing, because you'll need it for the spicy dishes yet to come. Start off with the famous cur­ ried mussels and be sure to get an order of Naa, the signature Indian flatbread that is a must with any meal. The signature dish is the Tandoori chicken, served with basmati rice on a bed of grilled vegetables. Pieces of chicken are cooked until they reach a beauti­ ful red inside the Tandoori oven, which is shaped like a clav pit — and hence the name. The result is a perfect blend of mild fla­ vors that'll entice even the most Western taste buds. If you're looking for something w ith a little more kick, try the Vindaloo with beef or chicken, but be sure you know what vou're getting yourself into before you ask for the spiciest variety. Although you may not think an Indian restaurant would be the best place to take a date, the mood and lighting is fantastic. If you're worried about the strong scent associated w ith Indian food, don't worry; if both you and your date smell like curry, it'll be alright. 2. Korea Garden Korean for the Kim-Chi-phobic M any have shied aw ay from Korean cuisine because of the national dish, Kim Chi — a spicy cabbage concoction often fermented for months. Although good Kim Chi is served at Korea Garden, there are a number of dishes tailored for the more sensi­ tive taste buds. Bui go gi, the famous Korean barbecue, is marinated to perfec­ tion with a tangy blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, scallions and sesame seed oil among others. If you order enough of it, you're given the opportunity to grill the meat yourself on a cast iron skil­ let placed in the middle of your table, which makes the bul go gi taste that much better. Whether you go with the beef or pork, or plain or with ribs, it is not to disappoint. The atmosphere is terrific, and if you choose to eat w hile sitting with your legs crossed over a low table, you're transported to the Far East, eating as the aristo­ crats did on their comfortable seat cushions. Also in the restaurant is also a fully equipped sushi bar where you can watch the sushi chef work his magic. To watch the chef carefully but quickly craft his sushi in a traditional Japanese culinary suit is to watch an artist embroiled in his work. The result is a perfect meld of fish, vinegar rice and iust the right amount of wasabi. Conveniently located across the street from The Yellow Rose gen­ tleman's club on North Lamar, the Korea Garden is great for those both fam iliar and new to Korean cuisine and sushi. 3. Wanfoo Too 50s meets the '80s in China A t Wanfoo Too, the food, although good, takes a back seat to the atmosphere. The eclectic atmosphere starts outside, where the building is designed like a 50's drive in hamburger joint. Once inside, you're greeted bv a very' friendly staff — make sure you mention it's your birthday — and vinvl pink bar stools and booths. Am idst all of this, some­ thing seems out of place. A few minutes later, you realize what it is — the '80s music playing ■ over the speakers. Although it is ¡ peculiar to see a full bar stocked i in such an atmosphere, but the I food is not to disappoint. Wanfoo Too offers a variety ! of choices on the menu. There ! are Chinese restaurant staples j like the sesame chicken and the ' sweet and sour pork, but they j offer more authentic cuisine as well. Offering cuisines of the six ! major regions in China, including Szechwan and Hunan, you can pick the combination of meat and > cuisine, and the staff w ill create a ! dish tailored to your taste buds. For a dining experience as ; itself, pay ; eclectic as Austin Wanfoo Too on Barton Springs' Restaurant Row', a visit. 4. Tien Hong Best Dim Sum On North Burnet is Tien Hong Restaurant, best known for its dim sum. If vou're unfam iliar with dim sum, it originates from ancient China, when aristocrats would socialize at tea bars w hile waiters served appetizer-portion dumplings on carts. spirit, and for lunch Saturdav and Sunday, you can sit in a crowded dining room while half a dozen waiters and waitresses roll around carts filled with evervthing from thousand vear old egg soup to nee cakes. The preferred means of com­ munications is pointing at dish­ es that look appealing to you. The wait staff is friendly and w ill explain to vou the dishes as lien Hong stays true to the ASIAN FOODS cor page w A F 1F m Sé [H O |ui S E| "GOOD FOOD FAST" * * AUSTIN'S ONLY * * SAVE 10% OPEN 24 HOURS! 7809 E.

It can be easy for a no-frills restaurant to be overpow ered by more expensive fine dining establishments, though the staff at Piccolo Italian Café does not seem the least bit intimidated. M aybe this unpretentious con­ fidence is evident because they have good food w ith subtle ele­ gance, an attentive and helpful w'ait staff, and an inviting am bi­ ence. The dining room at Piccolo is an example of modern sophisti­ cation. Sections of the w alls are painted with earth tones which appear unusually vibrant, w hile deep blue tiles behind the bar d ivid e the kitchen from the d in­ ing room. The consistency of m atching mahogany tables w'ith chairs trimmed in pastel green provides contrast against the variety of colors found on the wralls. W orn spots on the orange- and black-stained floor add character to the otherwise well-polished interior. Classical music, playing from overhead speakers, seemed fitting. A departure from m any Italian Piccolo's Italian Café uses wrail lighting and candles rather than embrac­ ing dimness in its décor. restaurants, Even the restrooms are well- decorated, spacious and im mac­ ulate. M a n y students have suggest­ ed this restaurant as a great place for romantic dates. Surprisingly, only tw o tables w ere full on a recent weekday afternoon. The w aiter w as as profes­ WANT TO BE A sional as he looked in a crisp black uniform . He demonstrated great patience w ith diners w ho couldn't decide w h at to order, and came to the rescue w ith meal suggestions that exceeded expec­ tations. W h ile he w as quick with refills, he could have brought more of the foccacia bread and olive oil dip. This unusually good bread was almost as fluffy and soft as cake on the inside and came lightly toasted on the outside, adding variety of textures. 1 he fried calamari was well worth $8.95. This dish was not the least bit ch ew y as squid w ould be if overcooked (and often is in m any restaurants). Instead of depending on overly- spiced breading to mask such a common flaw, the calamari came w ith a delicately thin and m ild breading. M ista Salad ($3.50), full of ten­ der baby organic greens, was evenly distributed w ith an inter­ esting balsamic vinaigrette. Thin slices of purple onion, tomato and kalamata olives accented it. and Fettuccine Bolognese (m arin ara and ground sauce beef) resulted from a great mix- and-match section of pastas and sauces on the menu, and cost $7.95. Though not a fancy dish, it exemplifies comfort food. An order of chicken picatta brought tw o am azingly tender and thin chicken breasts, w hich were sauteed in lemon. Angel Just right around the corner from the University, Piccolo offers elegant food without the fancy prices. Jerem y B aik in | Daily Texan Staff hair pasta, artichokes, capers and w'hite w ine accompanied them. The delicate pasta was embel­ lished w ith an eye-opening cit­ rus flavor. lasagna I heir meat ($9.25) showcased layers of beef and Italian sausage, cheese and tomato sauce and did not seem too heavy, like some lasagna. Then again, none of the food w as too heavy to preclude a final course. The desserts w ere a little more extravagant. Cappuccino mousse ($6.00) combined a brow nie base, a layer of cappuccino mousse and milk chocolate on top. Equ ally good, the Q uadruple Chocolate dessert ($6.00), high­ lighted w ith a perfectly smooth layer of fudge, also came w ith chocolate mousse and a layer of milk chocolate. I hese menu items w ere all w'ell-made and beautifully pre­ sented. The chef at Piccolo Italian Café shows that no culinary deception, such as heavy spic­ ing or substitution, is necessary to transform quality ingredients into a quality meal. Piccolo Italian Café, going into its fifth year, is an asset to the U niversity community, and doesn't need a pricey menu to earn respect.

The shrimp with snow peas encrusted in a dumpling is per­ fect with their fiery chili sauce. The enchilada-looking shrimp concoction wrapped with a rice paper is excellent with the soy blend served with it. If you still have room in your stomach, the dessert cart is filled with goodies. Try the sesame seed balls filled with red bean paste. You'd never guess that the two could come together so well for an incredibly sweet dessert. Even if dim sum is not being served when you get there, Tien Hong offers a number of dishes that'll satisfy almost anv taste. 5. Z e n Psuedo-"Japanese Food Fast” Zen — although more faithful to the latter part of its motto than the former — has evolved into a popular destination for both students and businesses of the West Anderson area, and now Guadalupe. The food, although not authen­ tic Japanese, does well to blend the flavors of both East and West into a rice bowl, convenient for take out. A ll of their dishes are served over a bowl of rice. A customer favorite is the Teriyaki Chicken, which is just that -- chicken glazed in Teriyaki sauce mixed w ith vegetables served over your choice of steamed or fried rice. The Oyako bowl, which has a more subtle flavor, replac­ es the teriyaki sauce with eggs. When flavored with a touch of their soy sauce, the Oyako bowl can satisfy all tastes — and serves as a delicious vegetarian dish if the chicken is replaced. Make the Texan work for you.

McDonnell Daily Texan Staff It's that time again. W hen the cosmos rearranges and a new anom aly is birthed. W h en a Starman is created and a percep­ tion in the world goes through a paradigm shift. W hen, in a moment, lines are skewed and the acceptance of a new ideal is attained. Such an ideal goes by the name of M arc Broussard. W h ile Em inem and Beck among many, quote unquote, white guys doing black music, have already broken, rebuilt and paved the w ay for w hat is deemed revolu­ tionary, another entity has sur­ faced that deserves that moniker. Standing all of five feet four inches and harnessing a baritone voice capable of shattering a wall 30-feet away, this Starman, from the bayous of Louisiana arrives on the scene w ith a message on to messages. " I'm a white boy doing black m usic.” D u ality M arc Broussard plays his set du ring this sum m er's B on naroo fes­ tival. Photo courtesy of Marc Broussard is key. I hough the story has already been told, his comes w ith a southern-comfort twist. He's a soul singer, self-proclaimed and deftly talented. But w hat of his mythological arrival, what makes him more special than say Eric Clapton or the Rolling Stones? Indeed, that is the question, and the answer lies in his chronology. The chronol­ ogy of the mythology stems from his father, like Vader to Luke, passing on the ability to harness music. Vader or led Broussard in this case w as an anom aly in his o w n tiijie. A guitarist trained in the w ays of jazz, an icon to his people, a prophet, who wielded skills enough to earn him a place in the Louisiana M usic H all of Fame. Then the man, the myth and the legend had a son, sound familiar, w h o was to travel in the footsteps of his father becoming a force to be reckoned w ith himself. Sticking only to those aspects and disregarding good versus evil, BROUSSARD continues on page 11 MIDTOWNE SPA AUSTIN A private men's health dub Must be 1 8 to enter with valid ID w w w .m id to w n e -s p a .c o m Membership required • Day membership available M o n d a y s & W e d n e s d a y s T u e sd ay s & T h u rsd a y s 1 /2 price 1/2 price Changing rooms (10am-Midnight) Lockers (10am-Midnight) Tuesday: FREE STUDENT LOCKERS __________ wifh college ID n8yrs-25yrs) s6 Student Lockers wifh valid college ID (18yrs-25yrs) 9 P M - M id n ig h t e v e ry other T u e sd ay 1P M - 5 P M e v e ry other M o n d a y FREE HIV/STD Testing Weekend Special Friday-Saturday-Sunday Pay full price for a changing room and get a FREE room for Tuesday W ORKOUT PASS $40 per month use of the Spa and FREE locker from 5AM-10PM 6 month membership $25 Read about what's going on in your world in T h e D a il y T e x a n Expect news, viewpoints and entertainment in our daily sections: • Page 2 • World & Nation • State & Local • University • Sports • Entertainment Charfics Capitol 581 5 Airport Blvd. 302-9696 visit us at our Dallas & Houston locations H¡9hiandm.id • Opinion • Comics * * * * * * * ' E f l t i A t l y * Open Every Day at 2PM FREE parking 8 Full-Service Bars Outdoor Patk Pool & Videc S w d a y $1 Vodko2PM-10PM Jame Perry's Super Sunday Show 11:30PM Special Guest & More Wet Underwear contest with Paris Channel $$ 12Midnight Tt $5 cook to order steak or chicken & oil the fixins 6PM til 8:30PM Male amotuer strip contest - $300 in cash prizes HAPPY HOU R: Open—Close 2 brcylce drawings T h u r g d i?

The S tarm an's path becomes realized, and the end result is a new type of music. To say th a t M arc's m usic is dirty w ould be a service. After listen­ ing to good m usic ja /z m usicians used to say, "You need to take a bath," m eaning that your style is so packed with electricity, with heart, that I've been covered in it, in its filth. T hat's the kind of music M arc's m aking, Soul Music. His new release, "Carenero" nam ed after his hom etow n, show cases the Starm an as a m ulti-dim en­ sional singcr-songw riter. The o p ening track "H om e" introduces Marc and pals in a drum -circle type vibe, a good ol' fashioned jam boree sing-a- long. I hick bass lines provided by stom ping and clapping and M arc's raspy voice transport you straight into the Bayous of the D eep D ark Dirty South. You feel w hat he feels. As equally as he can get dirty; he can get clean. The second track "Rocksteadv," is a straight-up roller-rink anthem full of energetic gu itar solos, crisp snare cuts and p h at bass. The third track "The Beauty of W ho You Are" is rem iniscent of Luther, as in Vandross. The list goes on. Just in the first three songs young B roussard m akes it clear th a t he has no limits. T h is album is M arc's shout-out to the w orld. He s here, and h e's staying. So far M arc's path has taken him o n the road with such estab­ lished acts as Bob Schneider, D ave M atthew s Band, W illie Nelson, Los Lonely Boys, Robert Randolph and the Family Band and m any more; Marc is current­ ly on tour w ith Gavin DeGraw. "My objective in a live show is to take people com pletely through an em otional journey, from sa d ­ ness, to happiness, to laughter, to w hatever it is, and leave them em otionally spent." This ACL p er­ form ance will be a first for Marc. It is the hope of the Starm an th at his m essage will be received that after hearing his music you'll say, " I hat w as the best show I've ev er been to in mv life." Inevitably all things change: ideals, people, m usic. T he Starm an o therw ise knowm as Marc Broussard is that change. Will he bring balance? Will he save the universe? Will he rock the shit out of music? All these things are hard to foresee, but at least there is one thing that can be seen — Marc Broussard at the ACL festival Friday, Sept. 17.

And songs practically fall out of their pockets. Having notched six albums since 1998, including the seminal double disc, "The Southern Rock Opera," D BT have a lot to say, and plenty of amps to say it through. Guitarist Jason Isbell (a tender, jaded 24 at the time of joining) wrote the title track to what may well be their best studio effort, "Decoration Day," only three days after join­ ing the band. Hood, Isbell and By Ford Gunter Daily Texan Staff Drive-By Truckers come from some serious roots. It permeates all aspects of their music. While some would argue that roots can do nothing but, 1 would pose that few bands are so dominat­ ed, so torn, so anguished, and so proud of where they are from. Hailing from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the once-glorified "H it Recording Capital of the World" (among the chart top­ pers to come from the legendary FA M E Recording Studio: Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally," Percy Sledge's "W hen a Man Loves a Woman" and Aretha Franklin's "1 Never Loved a Man (The Way 1 Love You)," to name a few), the Truckers incorporate all aspects of a Southern hamlet fallen on hard times in their latest release, "The Dirty South." While 2003's outstanding "Decoration D ay" dealt with living with the choic­ es you make, "The Dirty South" explores low-income people left only with dangerous options to support their families in an impossible economy. It is not surprising, then, that many of the songs take place in Muscle Shoals itself — which was once home to several renowned recording studios — and even less of a surprise that the Truckers put the finishing touches on the record at FA M E, the only studio to survive the economic drought of the last 30 years. Frontman Patterson Hood's father was once part of FA M E'S Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section before they left to launch their own equally legendary' Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, record­ ing stops to The Rolling Stones, W illie Nelson, Traffic, Rod Stewart, Cher, Bob Seger and Boz Scaggs, to name just a few. You see, it's in their blood. Hood the younger has been writing music since the third- grade, and with four of the five members hailing from north Alabama (guitarist Mike Cooley is from South Carolina), it is only natural that social griev­ ances would wind up in the Truckers' compositions. W ith Mom and Pop constantly los­ ing out to cookie-cutter strip malls and international coffee shops, N A SA 's Huntsville, Ala., The Austin City Limits Festival is a must see. But with Bob Schneider, 1 28 other bands, thou­ sands of fans and tons of cars jammin' the streets, you'll need a fast easy way to get there. Capital Metro picks you up at Waterloo Park (14th & Trinity), drops you off at the gate, then back to Waterloo Park. Take Capital Metro to the Festival and let Bob Schneider and the rest of the stars do the jammin.' g o - lin e 474 .1 2 0 0 capmetro.org M v jiC FfrriNAL Formed in 1996, the Drive By Truckers formulated the idea for the "Southern Rock Opera." The band plays the ACL fest on Sunday night. Photo courtesy o f th e D rive By Truckers Cooley share the writing credits, each taking turns at the mike in distinguishably salty voices for his own compositions, and are backed by bassist Shonna Tucker, who is also Isbell's wife, and drummer Brad Morgan, who, among other things, hates saxophones. Nope, the Truckers are not that type of band. No genre splashing, here, I tell you. Straightforward "rural" rock- and-roll is what they prefer, nat­ urally shunning the "Southern rock" tag.

After five albums, Wilco continues to show a strong sense of belong­ ing. Photo courtesy of Wilco World Thursday, September 16, 2004 Alt-country spokesmen trot into ACL Wilco returns for another Austin showcase By Andrew Ward Daily Texan Staff inaugural music Wilco makes a return appear­ ance to A C L Fest after playing the festival two years ago. In a decade, five albums, and several line up changes since the group formed from the ashes of Uncle 7'upelo, Jeff Tweedy and crew have expanded across the musical spectrum from roots-y Americana to the avant-garde, transcend­ ing the alt-country stigma while maintaining an essential iden­ tity of an earnest, pastoral nature that has made Wilco one of the best musical acts among their contemporaries. Wilco finallv scored the atten­ tion they deserve in April of 2002 their instant classic, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," after amass­ ing a mythical status while in label limbo awaiting its delayed release for over a year. "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," which is perhaps W ilco's "Sgt. Pepper," came very close to being the group's "Smile." The 2002 independent him "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" captures the sordid events surrounding the making ut the album, which resulted in Jay Bennett leaving the group, and their departure from their label, Reprise, for another Warner Brothers subsidiary, Nonesuch, after an argument over the com­ mercial viability of the album. After being streamed on the group's Web site for several months, surviving all the delay and controversy, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" lives up to all the hype. On the beginning track, "I'm Trying to Break Your Heart," Jeff Tweedy's mournful opening reflections of "I am an American aquarium drinker," melt into a bleak array of sprawling elec­ tronics and instrumentals. The melancholy arc of the album has its moments of joyful nos­ talgia with the upbeat delivery of lines like " I miss the inno­ cence I've known/Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned," from "H eavy Metal Drummer." "Ashes of American Flags" seems eerily relevant in a post-Sept. 11 age. In the album's closer, "Reservations," Tweedy repeats triumphantly, "I've got reserva­ tions/ About so many things but not about you" against an all- consuming dissonance. On their latest, "Ghost is Born," Wilco continues a career of artis­ tic evolution with a consistency of superior song craft. The album is a sleek update on its predeces­ sor with a "ghostly" presence lingering in its shadow's. Just prior to the release of " A Ghost is Born," Tweedy announced that he was enter­ ing a drug rehabilitation facilitv tor treatment for a dependency on painkillers prescribed to him for migraine headaches, cancel­ ing several of Wilco's tour dates. A new biography of the group, written bv Chicago Tribune jour­ nalist Greg Kot, titled "Wilco: Learning How To Die," docu­ ments the turbulent historv of the band and features interviews with Tweedy, in which he dis­ cusses his addiction. After a decade of existence, Tweedy remains the only mem­ ber left of the original line up, which now includes avant-garde guitarist Nels Cline and multi­ instrumentalist Pat Sansone, who recently joined Wilco for their latest tour. Wilco's reputa­ tion for awesome live perfor­ mances and the wealth of gems from a strong discography will make for another excellent show at A C L Fest. o * a ghuit « hum Truckers: Drive-By hits festival stage From page 12 first in the north, have had no problems winning over major cites, and can boast fans as far away as Germany.

By Ford Gunter Daily Texan Staff Any time you are tagged with being the New Face of your genre it can be trouble. It is bound to upset som e purists, and pigeon­ hole the band. Take, for example, the North Mississippi Allstars, the upstart quartet from, well, Mississippi (d u h ...) that have been both honored and saddled with the label, The New Face of Blues. "We plav rock and gospel, too," says bassist Chris Chew from his home. "A s long as blues fans understand it isn't going to be strictly blues, it's okay." Far from it. W hile their debut "Shake Hands album, 2000's With Shorty," and the follow- up, 2001's "51 Phantom," stuck to roots blues, 2003's "Polaris" served as a stark warning to the label-zealous critics: The Allstars are more than just a 12-bar blues band. W hile bold, "Polaris" alter­ the mark with nately missed soulless pop-heavy efforts sand­ wiching three or four excellent tracks, each a concert staple. In the studio again laying down tracks for this w inter's "Electric Blue W aterm elon," Chew con ­ firms the new direction of the album. "It's serious rock — blues rock — with a little g osp el.... I don't think you'll hear any pop." Although his matter-of-fact-tone left it hard to derive any feelings toward "P olaris," the message was clear: W e're going back to what w e do best — combining m odern elem ents o f tim eless genres to usher blues into the 21st Century, and w e're doing with style. "W e've grow n," Chew savs, referring to path of their sound. "It's part of evolution. It should never stay the sam e... no one ever stays the sam e." Legendary M em phis producer Jim Dickinson, father of founding brothers Luther (guitar) and Cody (drums) is back in the booth han­ dling production duties (he also SUSHI HAPPY HOUR KYO TO 2 0 T H ANNIVERSARY SAT D IN E -IN ONLY MON — 6:00pm — 7 00pm KIRIN DRAFT BEER (16oz)... $ 2 .0 0 APPETIZERS (SIX SELECTIONS ). $2. 00 1 1 1 SUSHI (SELECT ITEMS)2PCS ...... $ 2 .

"Mr. Jim let's us have our way in the studio," he says. "H e points us in the right direction sometimes, but we have freewill." As if in honor of returning to their roots, the Allstars have invited along the legendary Dirty Dozen Brass Band for their fall tour. "It's just a great com bo," Chew says. "D rum s and horns and the b lu es/ro ck train will get you your m oney's worth." A fter headlining the dual-bill with the Dozen at Antone's on Saturday night, Chris, Luther, Cody and D uw ayne Burnside (guitar, and the son of blues giant R.L. Burnside) will have an early w ake-up call to play the 3:30 p.m. slot at the Heineken Stage the fol­ lowing day. " Aww, it's easy." Chew assures me. "W e've done it before.
