The University of Minnesota at Twin Cities has 50,954 students enrolled for the fall semester, accord­ ing to its official enrollment data, which is 551 more students than UT-Austin. Ohio State University refused to release any preliminary numbers, but the school plans to have the official data today. Last fall 50,731 students enrolled at OSU and 48,130 enrolled this spring. UT's official data are scheduled to be released next Monday, and the figures should be slightly lower than the preliminary numbers, said Maryann Ruddock, director of the Office of Institutional Research. Enrollment at the UT-Austin dropped about 2 percent from last fall's 51,426. The drop did not affect the freshman class, said Augustine Garza, freshman recruiting officer. The number of entering freshmen is 6,796, an increase from 6,544 last year, according to the press release. A decrease in student enrollment w as part of the effort to follow the Task Force on Enrollment Strategy7s recom m endations m ade last December. Isabella Cunningham, who led the 19-member group, said a reduction in student enrollment would be good for the University. She said the University's main goal is to bring down the student-to-fac- ulty ratio to 19-to-l like many other top-tier public institutions. "It's amazing how much differ­ ence student-faculty ratio makes," Cunningham said. "It means we'll be able to offer more smaller cours­ es and more opportunities for stu­ dents that want to work in small groups or with a professor." The task force advised the University to lower the number of students to 48,000 within five years, which could place it as low as fifth- largest in the nation, Ruddock said. Besides requiring students to take a heavier course load, the task force also recommended building addi­ tional classroom space, increasing the number of faculty and increas­ ing the number of credit hours a transfer applicant must take before applying to the University. Cunningham said the University had little choice in choosing its path. Since many general purpose class­ rooms have transformed into specif­ ic labs, the University has 15 fewer general-purpose classrooms now compared to 1973, for a lot more students, she said. The University also looked into having a separate cam pus or twin campuses, with a second campus in addition to the original campus, she said. "There's no way we can expand," she said.

Bush and Sen. John Kerry. The score is 2-0 Kerry, by most accounts, and the polls suggest the president needs a big win in tonight's debate to repair some of the dam age done to him during the first two. Kerry enters » Elections More coverage on the countdown to ^ j the debate the heavy favorite, having won the first in strides and the second by inches, to most according leading polls. H e's the election among likely voters by one percentage point in several polls, and the majority of Americans in the USA T oday/C N N / Gallup poll expect him to win tonight's debate. Only 36 percent expect Bush will come out on top, although like most polls, the Gallup poll reports a 3 percent to 5 percent margin of error. Fortunately for Bush, this is not baseball. Kerry can win the debates by whatever margin he can muster and still lose the election. Gore proved that in 2000 when he won two debates to one over the governor from Texas. "A solid Bush win, akin to Kerry's wan in the first debate, would be a knockout punch for him," said Sean Theriault, a professor of political sci­ ence at the University. "A Kerry' wan, akin his first debate win, or a tie will sim ply push the tied electorate into three more weeks of bed poll­ ing before a slim victory' on elecbon night."

The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether or not the monument, seen left, is unconstitutional. Issue o f Ten Commandments display on state grounds has not been visited since 1980 By Adam H. Covici Daily Texan Staff The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol is unconshtutional. On Tuesday, the court announced they will hear arguments from lexas and Kentucky cases about the conshtuhonality of displaying the Ten Commandments on government land and buildings. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled on the issue since 1980, when they banned the posbng of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. In the Texas case, a three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of A ppeals unanimously upheld the constitutionality of a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the state Capitol. Conversely, judges in a Kentucky case found that the displays in the county courthouses did violate the First Amendment, and ordered them removed. It is this difference of opinion that may have led the U.S. Supreme Court to decide to hear the case, said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. The First Amendment carries w'ith it a clause governing the separabon of church and state, guaranteeing the state will not endorse any particular COURT continues on page 5A Hellraisers'bash draws criticism, complaint M u ltic u ltu ra l cen ter to file grievance; group stands by party's them e By Noelene Clark Daily Texan Staff When Monica Culver arrived at a Sept. 24 party thrown by cam pus spirit organizabon the Longhorn Hellraisers, she w as shocked and offended by what she saw. "M ost of the guys were dressed up as cowboys," said Culver, a government senior. "M ost of the girls were dressed as Indians. They looked like they were wearing Pocahontas costum es, and they had feathers in their hair." To Culver, this w as more than just a theme party. "I found it offensive, because they used the N abve American culture as an accessory to their party," Culver said. "Also, the his­ tory between the American Indians and the cowboys is a very violent one, and the party made light of this history." just Culver decided leaving the part}' early wasn't enough, so she approached the Multicultural Information Center where she works in an effort to right what she believed w as an offensive inci­ dent. But the Hellraisers said they did not intend to offend Native Americans and are upset they weren't nobfied by Culver or the MIC about the complaint. While Hellraisers spokesm an Christian Deitering adm its the Hellraisers threw the costume party, he said there were no gender-specific cos­ tumes, and the group took precau- bons to prevent offensive situa­ tions.

Rachel Osier D a ily Texan S taff On-campus costumes Fine arts' outfits available for free or a small price By Mark Son Daily Texan Staff Unknown to most UT stu­ dents outside t>f the College of Fine Arts, 60,000 color­ ful, hand-m ade garments are stored in the basement of the Winship Building. These clothes may not be the greatest costum es for Halloween parties, though; they are intended for a radio- television-film student's next movie or a photography stu­ dent's class project. N early anything from a rugged Roman gladiator helmet to an 18th century English gentleman's suit can be found in one of the rows of clothes organized by time periods the ancient from Greek to the m odem era. "Well, we don't have a lot o f contemporary clothes," said Robbie Ann Darby, a graduate theatre and dance student w ho works in the stock room, "because we fig­ ured that you probably have a lot of 'em in your closets." Originally only open to students in the College of Fine Arts, the costume stock is opening its closets to all students interested in rent­ ing a costume. The cost is under $20 for a week, or even free, depending on the gar­ ment. Although clothes can only be officially rented for academic purposes, Capper said students will be able to rent them for personal use as a part of its program to pub­ licize the stock room. "Some of these costumes cost $1,000 and take months "I to m ake," Darby said. think it's the minimal cost. Besides, we can work with your budget. We are not try­ ing to rip you off." The clothes are mostly made by students working in the costume shop, located in the same building as the cos­ tume stock room, said Clare Capper, another employee in the stock room. But some are also donated by the Salvation Army or Goodwill. To rent clothes, she said, students must send an e-mail, sign-up on the sheet outside of the stock room or call to make an appointment. After coming to the stock room, students are asked to fill out paperwork before walking off with a maroon corset or an old beat-up peasant's jacket. "If you come in and say I need some costume, I'm gonna say what color, what period and what size?" Capper said. "So come in knowing w hat you want. Although w e don't have same clothes for all sizes, we can fit just about anybody." Affairs Teresa Sullivan in the release. After the finalists are selected they will visit the UT-Dallas campus for two days to meet with admin­ istration, said System spokesman Michael Warden. The regents will then ask for feedback before they make a final decision, Warden said. — David Kassabian STATE & LOCAL District 19 candidates vyin g fo r new ly draw n centerpiece LUBBOCK — Freshman Republican Randy Neugebauer and 13-term Democrat Charlie Stenholm were scheduled to meet Tuesday night in the first debate between the District 19 candidates. Both are vying for the newly drawn 19th District, a centerpiece of the GOP-led redistricting plan approved by state legislators last fall. Neugebauer, 54, of Lubbock, won the District 19 seat in a runoff in June 2003 after Larry Combest retired. — The Associated Press Education groups w o rry a b o u t lim iting class sizes Some education groups are con­ cerned that a recent letter by the Texas education commissioner is an attempt to weaken the state law limiting class sizes to 22 students per teacher in elementary schools. State law allows boards to seek waivers to the 20-year-Qld law. But the decision to seek a waiver generally must be considered as an item on a school board agenda, giving the public an opportunity to offer input before the board votes. Commissioner Shirley Neeley's letter last week to superintendents outlined options in the law that would give school superintendents authority to seek waivers directly from the Texas Education Agency. —The Associated Press NEWS NOTES UNIVERSITY SG bill w o u ld have m em bers a tte n d diversity sym posium The UT Student Government discussed Tuesday evening a pro­ posed bill that will require each SG representative to attend a diversity symposium. Now that the bill has been put up for discussion, members will have a week to consult the bill's authors and discuss wording before the official vote is taken next week. "I think that it will be a really goodthing to bring the University together.... Everyone that I've talked to has seemed really posi­ tive about it," said co-author Lauren Karchmer. The stated purpose of the bill is to increase member awareness of diversity issues concerning all students at the University. The proposed subject matter of the symposium includes issues deal­ ing with ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical and cognitive disabilities, and economic status. — Amanda Montgomery Regents select 3 possibilities fo r UT-Dallas president The UT System Board of Regents selected three finalists during Tuesday's specially called meet­ ing to replace retiring UT-Dallas President Franklyn Jenifer, accord­ ing to a news release.

But what might seem like a sopho­ more prank is turning into a costly problem for the city, home to the University of Oregon. In the last decade, officials say they've had to replace the sign nearly 350 times. Besides High Street, the University Street and Westward Ho Avenue signs are also frequently stolen. The missing street markers are part of a backlog of about 100 signs that city crews will replace in coming months, said Damon Joyner, traffic technical team supervisor for the city. "Sometimes they're hit by vehicles. Sometimes, they just seem to disap­ pear," he said. "We've had instances o f people just taking a chain saw to the post." Officials said last year alone, Eugene spent more than $50,000 on replace­ ment signs. — The Associated Press CONTACT US Main Telephone: (512) 471-4591 Editor: Ben Heath (512) 232-2212 editor@dailytexanonline.com Managing Editor: Brandi Grissom (512) 232-2217 managingeditor@ dailytexanonline.com News Office: (512) 232-2206 news@daiiytexanoniine.com Features Office: (512) 471-8616 features@dailytexanonline.com Sports Office: (512) 232-2210 sports@dailytexanonlme. com Entertainment Office: (512) 232-2209 eritertainment@ dailytexanonline.com Photo Office: (512) 471-8618 photo@dailytexanonline.com THINK Y0Ü HAVE ADD? •Treatment • Evaluation • Medication • 2nd Opinion ADHD CENTERS D DOBIE MALL s r 340.0000 # 1 C o lle g e S k i a B o a r a W e e k SIr/ 20 Mountains a 5 Resorts tor theW ^ ■ Price of 1 Breck ¡/ail, B Beavercreek, 1 Arapahoe Basin m 6 Keystone ■ ^U.&Skl 1-800-SKI-WILD In Austin 4694)999 600 West 28th #102 w w w .u » n $ fcl,i?9 ¡n Web Editor: onlineeditor@dailytexanonline.com Retail Advertising: (512) 471-1865 retail@mail. tsp. utexas.edu Classified Advertising: (512) 471-5244 * dassified@mail.tsp.utexas.edu The Texan strives to present all information fairly, accurately and completely.

W o r l d & N a t i o n Troops attack Sunni insurgents T j i k D a i l y T k w n By Robert H. Reid The Associated Press i ' W " in Fallujah opened fire on troops from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. After the rebels began fir­ ing mortars, the Marines called in air support, and a U.S. warplane "dropped a precision-guided weapon, eliminating the insur­ gent fire," the military said. Tuesday's airstrikes in Fallujah were the first in four days and occurred as Iraqi officials were in talks with city representatives. Little change affects voting technology By Erica Werner The Associated Press Voters clamored for reform after the fiasco in Florida four years ago. But when they return to vote again for president on Nov. 2, many may be surprised to discover how little has changed. Instead of brand-new equip­ ment, computerized voter-regis- tration lists and other improve­ ments, most voters will find the same machines they used last time, few changes for poll work­ ers, and little sign of the overhaul Americans were promised after the 2000 election. "Everybody was saying, Oh, w e'll have everything new in 2004,"' said Kimball Brace, presi­ dent of Election Data Services Inc., a consulting firm. "We're in a situation of catch-up now, not being able to implement every­ thing that people thought was going to take place." Money shortages and delays have stymied the goals of the Help America Vote Act that Congress passed in 2002. The act was never fully funded, the new federal agency it created was appointed nine months late, and most states asked for two-year waivers of key requirements, pushing off the creation of voter-registration databases and the replacement of punchcard and lever machines to 2006. Come November, three-quar­ ters of the voters will use the same machines as they did in 2000. Nearly 30 percent will vote lever on the punch card and machines now widely regarded as unreliable. A growing number of critics contend that with only weeks to go before another election that promises to be extremely close, there is a high risk of the kind of vote-counting delays and dis­ putes that tied the country in knots four years ago, when the presidential race was decided by 537 votes in Florida. Some lawmakers and election officials are more optimistic, not­ ing that the major reforms were never designed to kick in before 2006. Thev also point to some important changes in November — most notably, the availability of provisional ballots nationwide for the first time. These ballots will allow people to vote even when there are questions about their registration — a problem that disenfranchised 1.5 million or more voters in 2000, accord­ ing to estimates from civil rights groups. However, unforeseen ques­ tions about the reliability of electronic voting machines have forced county and state officials to rethink purchases of touch­ screen machines once viewed as the solution to their problems. BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. troops went on the offensive from the gates of Baghdad to the Syrian border Tuesday, pounding Sunni insurgent positions from the air and supporting Iraqi soldiers in raids on mosques suspected of harboring extremists. American and forces launched the operations ahead of Ramadan, expected to start at w eek's end, in an apparent attempt at preventing a repeat of the insurgent violence that took place at the start of last year's Muslim holy month. Iraqi Clashes broke out in a string from of militant strongholds Fallujah, 40 m iles west of Baghdad, northward along the Euphrates Valley to the Syrian border town of Qaim — all major conflict areas.

The five kidnappers threatened to kill the hostages unless the militants are allowed safe passage to a nearby area where their one- legged leader, Abdullah Mehsud, is believed hiding, officials said. A Pakistani intelligence official, speaking on condition o f ano­ nymity, said Mehsud is believed to have recently forged ties w ith al-Qaida and is receiving financ­ ing from the terror group. Foreign militants, mainly from Uzbekistan, are loyal to him, the official said. It was not clear why U.S. authori­ ties released Mehsud. Israel hopes recent attack helps thaw Egypt relations JERUSALEM — With a series of devastating explosions, Israel and Egypt suddenly found themselves bound together, victims o f a coor­ dinated terror strike that targeted Israeli citizens vacationing on Egyptian soil. Israeli officials hope the attacks last week, which killed at least 34 people, could mark a thaw in rela­ tions between the tw o countries and spur Egypt to vigorously back • Israel's plan to w ithdraw from the Gaza Strip next year.

Saurabh Das Associated Press 3A W ednesday, O c to b e r 13, 2004 NATION BRIEFS FCC fines Fox record amount for airing indecent material WASHINGTON — Federal regu­ lators proposed a record inde­ cency fine o f nearly $1.2 m illion Tuesday against Fox Broadcasting Co. for an episode o f its reality series "Married by America." The Federal Communications Commission cited the network for the April 7,2003, program, w hich included scenes from Las Vegas bachelor and bachelorette parties featuring strippers and various sexual situations. Following that broadcast, the commission received 159 com ­ plaints alleging the episode con­ tained indecent material. After an investigation, the FCC decided to impose a $7,000 fine against each of the 169 Fox TV stations that aired the program. Police target used cars to stop illegal immigration PHOENIX — Law enforcement officials in the Phoenix area are using new tactics to cut off illegal im m igration: They are going after used-car salesmen w ho sell vehi­ cles to smugglers, and arresting operators o f safe houses where immigrants stay after crossing the border. Unlike past crackdowns, which have focused more on stop­ ping immigrants at the border, im m igration officials say the new campaign frustrates smugglers by zeroing in on the tools o f their trade. Nearly tw o dozen used-car lot workers in the Phoenix area were recently indicted on charges of forgery and money laundering. Police also seized 11 car lots and 400 vehicles. Some say that w hile the new tactic may be effective in Phoenix, the nation's hub for transporting illegal workers, it does not con­ front the larger problem.

TIME I’LL LAMP » CAN H U M P M ? 4A W edn esday, October 13, 2004 VIEWPOINT Sinclair sends wrong message The war rages on. While Americans continue to engage in combat in Iraq, a conflict which reached an end over 30 years ago continues to steal headlines. John Kerry has made his Vietnam serv ice a crucial part of his bid for the presidency, and yet another conservative attack on his criticism of the Vietnam War is slated to reach millions of Americans over public airwaves. This time around, the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns or provides marketing services to 62 television stations nationwide (including operating KABB FOX29 and KRRI WB35 in San Antonio), is ordenng its affiliates to pre-empt prime-time programming in order to air the documentary "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" commercial-free sometime between Oct. 21 and Oct. 24. The 45-minute film was produced by Carlton Sherwood and his independent film company, Red White & Blue Productions, and is tagged as "a documentary exposing John Kerry's record of betrayal." It includes interviews of Vietnam veterans who claim that Kerry's testimony before Congress in 1971 amounted to a confession for war crimes and extended their stay as prisoners of war. The film offers an interesting perspective on the presidential hopeful, but a completely one-sided perspective. Before producing the documentary, the ex-Marine Sherwood worked under then-govemor of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge and was also commissioned by the Bush administration to create www.fir- strcsponder.gov, a Web site to assist federal emergency planners. Sinclair Broadcast Group — which came under fire in April for refusing to run an episode of Nightline in which Ted Koppel read the names of hundreds of Americans killed in Iraq — plans to run the documentary as a news piece and is thus not required to gamer equal time for supporters of the senator. The company has claimed it is looking to bring Kerry on some sort of panel after the film but has yet to hear a response from the Democrat. As a whole, the situation smells of a coordinated smear of John Kerry two weeks before the election. Considering the com­ pany owns and operates 21 networks broadcasting in swing states (including Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nevada, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Virginia and Wisconsin), as well as the fact that the company donated 97 percent of its $68,000 in political con­ trib u tio n s to Republicans so far this year, few can justify the move beyond partisanship. The Democratic National Committee is ask­ ing the Federal Election Commission to investigate the matter, and IS Democratic senators are filing a joint complaint to the Federal Communications Commission. But this issue goes beyond party loyalties. When media control becomes consolidated into the hands of too few (in this case, one ccimpany's ownership of 62 television stations), such results should not be surprising. No media elite should hold that much sway over the networks, whether it's the right-wing Sinclair media elite or the oh-so-touted liberal media elite. The public airwaves are just that: public. Should o massive media conglomerate like Viacom force all 34 of its CBS and UPN stations to air Michael Moore's one-sided "Fahrenheit 9 /1 1 " in prime time over the next few weeks without equal response, airwaves would be equally abused by a corporation try­ ing to further its political sway. What is at issue is not the right to say what one wants in public domain. What is at issue is the manipulation by ownership to force a viewpoint onto an audience; in other words, masquerading par­ tisan rhetoric as objective news coverage. We hope Sinclair's political abuse of market control will shine new light on how the FCC has dropped the ball in recent years in regulating media consolidation, and hopefully the FEC will work with the FCC in staying true to the democratic ideals they are trusted to protect. Open debates to all candidates By Devon Ryan Daily Texan Columnist While President Bush and Sen. Kerry were riveting audience members at the sec­ ond presidential debate, outside the debate hall, Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian presi­ dential candidate, and David Cobb, the Green Party presidential candidate, were being arrested. Thank God the authorities are finally crack­ ing down on dangers to our countiy and well-being. Just as the evil menace that is Cat Stevens, writer of the accursed "Peace Train," is sent back to Limey Town where he belongs, two enemy insurgents of anti-American envi­ ronmentalist and fiscally conservative factions have been successfully captured. Somehow I doubt you'll find any of these guys in the Deck of Evil cards. The two third party candidates were arrest­ ed for crossing the police line in an act of civil disobedience. Badnarik was attempt­ ing to serve the Commission on Presidential Debates with an Order to Show Cause, which summons the CPD to a court hearing to explain why it has excluded Libertarian par­ ticipation in the debates. The CPD is a private corporation owned by the two parties since 1986. This is why they were able to make all those crazy rules and almost totally abandon the debate format. This is also why it has engineered the require­ ments for inclusion to almost automatically exclude anyone except the two major parties. The CPD has excluded not only Badnarik and Cobb from the presidential debates, but also Ralph Nader, who according to a C BS/N ew York Times poll has 2 percent of the national vote. This is in spite of the fact that according to a Zogby poll, 57 percent of likely voters would like to see at least Ralph Nader included in the debates. Free airtime is at a premium in this coun­ try. The legions of propaganda thrown out by the major candidates and their parties all cost serious money, but the debates are free. With all the replay and the spinners and the pundits and the Leno jokes, the debates bring in approximately one billion dollars worth of •free press to the two major parties. So why would they want Nader to get any of that, or Badnarik or Cobb for that matter? There is no way Nader or any other third party candidate will ever get to debate a sit­ ting president or his major challenger. The reason is not just airtime. Nader knows he's not going to win, there­ fore he does not have to appeal to everyone and can have all the strong convictions and undeniable truths he wants. This makes the two major candidates look bad, because they both have to appeal to moderates. This is why there is flip-floppidge on the war, and why Bush somewhat supports stem cell research and keeps abortion legal. W hat Kerr}' wishes he could say is that the war was a ridiculous idea we let get out of hand because we all wanted to get reelected. What Bush really wants to say is that abor­ tion is a sin against God and should never be allowed in a civilized society. Nader can actually state his opinion and be consistent with his beliefs because he will never be president. Badnarik and Cobb will never be president either, so was arresting them and refusing to accept a court order really necessary? Luckily, in this country you can't refuse to accept a court order. Badnarik had his day in court yesterday morning in the Superior Court of Maricopa County. Unfortunately, the judge ruled in favor of the CPD and did not restrain the debates but did allow the plain­ tiffs to continue to pursue damages. The next debate is tonight in Arizona, where there are three candidates for president on the ballot: Bush, Kerry and Badnarik. Though he won't be rotting in jail, Badnarik will still not be present at tonight's debate. Ryan is a radio-television-film junior. Four years are all you need By Merrick Brown Daily Texan Columnist It seems every time a UT com­ mission or committee recom­ mends students graduate in four years, an outcry ensues. "I won't have a social life if I take more than 12 hours!" or "I need to work to pay for tuition, and I can't do that while enrolled in 15 hours!" are the whiney responses. Give it up. Plenty of students take 15 or 17 or 19 hours and still find time to get wasted on Sixth Street, and some do that while working (though I don't advise working while shnockered up). Below are some tips on how to get out of here faster: 1) Take more classes. The C ollege of Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences now have flat- rate tuition, w here studen ts taking 12 or more hours pay for 14 hours. M any students com plain that flat rate tuition is com pletely unfair to students who take 12 hours. Well sure it is! Why are you only taking 12 hours? Work the system to your advantage. In the College of Liberal Arts, you can take up to 20 hours each semester as long as you received at least 36 grade points in the prior semester. Take 17 hours every semester (and 18 in one), and you'll be able to graduate in 3.5 years. With 20 hours per semester, you'll be out in three years. 2) Take advantage of credit- by-exam ination, and you can graduate even sooner. The decrep­ it Measurement and Evaluation Center (MEC) building near the Take 7 7 hours every semester (and 18 in one) and you'll be able to graduate In 3.5 years. SSB holds the key to lots of cheap credit hours and a no-risk GPA boost. The MEC offers nearly 40 tests for credit, from Polish to Electrical Engineering. Study French on your own, and you can get up to 16 hours of credit. The SAT II in Physics is another great one; you can get eight hours of credit from this high school- level test — enough to nearly meet the science requirement in many colleges — without step­ ping foot in a physics classroom. Many of the tests are easy, too. A former UT adviser told me of a student accidentally signing up for the sociology CLEP exam instead of the economics CLEP. While the questions seemed unfamiliar, he still got an A. Even if you get a C on the exam, there's no need to worry — the MEC gives you the choice of taking credit, or both the credit and grade. Get an A, and take the grade, otherwise don't. And just taking credit doesn't count against the num ber of courses you're allowed to take pass/ fail. 3) W orried about balancing studying for credit-by-exam test with your 17-hour course load? Take time management, study skill and speed reading classes. The UT Learning Center on the second floor of Jester offers these classes — and many more — for free. They also have helpful handouts like, "Anatomy of an All-Nighter." 4) If the all-nighters are get­ ting to you, consider quitting your job. It's entirely possible to take 17 hours and work, but if you're not making the grade, substitute some loans for your income. Even if you didn't qualify for financial aid, there are loads of private loans out there that will cover you up to UT's estimated cost of attendance, and most have interest rates hovering around four percent. And, in the long run, you'll be saving money. Every semester sooner you graduate is a tuition saving of $3,294 (for an in-state liberal arts student) or $7,151 (for an out-of-state natural sciences student). The bigger savings, of course, is the opportunity cost. The aver­ age earnings of UT graduates from the classes of 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000 was more than $89,000 in 2001, according to a study by UT economics profes­ sor Daniel Hamermesh. There may also be a finan­ cial benefit to two fewer years of keg stands; the average liver transplant costs a bit more than $300,000. Brown is a graduate student in professional accounting. THE FIRING LINE Bad grammar, bad thinking Is precise language now mere­ ly a relic, a curious remnant of a naive past when people actually cared about such silly things? On the front page of Monday's sports section, Phil Orchard states, "If Stoops had never took over at OU, Brown would surely have his conference champion­ ship by now." The stunningly bad grammar is surpassed only by the stunningly juvenile argu­ ment that Mr. Orchard asserts. His thesis is essentially a tautol- ogy — if the other teams weren't so good, then UT would be the best. Is anyone actually editing the Texan these days? Precise gram­ mar is a happy consequence of precise thinking. Getting shut out on Saturday was bad, but "had took" is even worse. At least the football team can blame its woes on Stoops. com petent offensive coaches (notice there was a lack of keep Greg Davis letters yesterday). H ow ever, keeping M ack Brown around on the basis that he makes money for the school is idiotic. It is insulting to every­ body associated with Texas ath­ letics to say that their hard work and sacrifice amounts to noth­ ing and they are simply here to bring in more cash. Those players deserve a coach that is striving to win every game, not plotting out how the season will go on Quicken. I don't think that is M ack Brown's biggest concern. I still believe he cares aboqt winning. That is why while Page is sit­ ting at home fantasizing about the money that UT makes, we "ignorant fans" will be at the stadium Saturday rooting for the team to actually win games. Hook 'Em!

Even if we were to for­ get, The Texan editors are sure to publish an op-ed about "the gay vote" written by someone who is not even a student at UT. I respect people based on many different metrics, and sexual pref­ erence is not one of them, nor should it be. Once again, the left is focusing on something arbi­ trary like sexual preference, much like its constant fixation with skin color. All of this is a misguided attempt to find some utopian "diversity." A university (and its newspaper) should focus on a diversity of ideas and an informed intellectual discourse, not how many people happen to like to have sex with other people of the same gender. Kevin Potter Marketing junior Director of Communications Young Conservatives of Texas Profit over football After reading yesterday's fir­ ing line, I feel like such a fool. All this time I thought the UT foot­ ball program was about winning games. Then David Page informs me that it is actually most impor­ tant to be "profitable." To heck with competing for champion­ ships, let's all make sure Texas can compete for the number one spot in T-shirt sales. Mack Brown has done many good things here, such as restore pride in Texas football, bring in a great wealth of talent, and con­ sistently has the team ranked among the nation's elite. As upset as I am after the game, I am hoping he gets a chance to show the fans and the nation how good a coach he can be if he actually were surrounded with Blame the victim! Let me begin by saying it is unfortunate that people would be violent or abusive to some­ body because of their sexual it preference. needs to be acknowledged that this does indeed happen, and again, there is no excuse for it. Furtherm ore, For a community that does not want to be "labeled" or "stigm a­ tized," however, it seems like the homosexual movement goes out of the way to make sure that happens. By drawing con­ stant attention to their sexual preference, these GLBT groups are by default defining them­ selves as homosexuals first and everything else second. Whether or not people think it is wrong to be homosexual, I would be SUBMIT A FIRING LINE Please e-m ail your Firing Lines to firingline@dailytexanonline. com.

W ednesday, October 13, 2004 DEBATE: Kerry's debate successes don't equate a win From p a g e l A Still, things may be looking up for Kerry, who not even a month ago trailed Bush by large margins in some polls. After the first two debates, Kerry' has finagled his way to a likely photo finish in November, if the polls are accurate. They show Bush's job rating sliding down. Three weeks ago when Kerry was faltering, Bush's approv­ al rating was at its highest in months — 54 percent. Now he's down to 47 percent, and more people disapprove of his job performance — 49 percent — than approve of it. Political experts view the 50 percent mark as the dividing line between winning or los­ ing re-election, according to the Gallup Organization. Since 1950, incumbents have had job approval ratings of at least 54 percent. successful Bush's slump began after the first debate. Tonight's debate will be in the same stump speech format, except the topic will be domestic rather than foreign policy. The second debate, which was split between the two top­ ics, gives the clearest preview of what viewers can expect to see more of tonight as far as eco­ nomic and domestic policy. "Four issues matter: job, jobs, taxes and everything else," Theriault said. In the last debate, and throughout cam paign, his Kerry emphasized that Bush is the only president in 72 years to lose jobs, a figure he esti­ mated at 1.6 million. Kerry said he would add jobs by getting rid of tax loopholes for cor­ porate outsourcing. Bush said, as he has repeatedly, that jobs are returning since the recession his administration inherited. He said his tax cuts will create jobs by helping small businesses. Kerry said Bush's tax cuts only go to the richest 1 percent of Americans. He said he would repeal the tax cuts for people who make more than $200,000 a year and replace them with cuts for the middle class. Bush said Kerry’ voted against mid­ dle class tax cuts he proposed, and he told the audience Kerry would "tax everybody here" to pay for his health-care plan. Issues such as abortion, Social Security and gay marriage fall under "everything else," accord­ ing to Theriault. Viewers expect­ ing gay marriage to weigh into this debate, held in the middle of gay pride week, may be dis­ appointed considering the topic was never mentioned in the last presidential debate. "It's clearly not a winning issue for Kerry," Theriault said. "Bush had his opportunity in the second debate to talk about it, but instead focused on the important and burning political issue of whether the govern­ ment could bar slave owners from taking their slaves into free territories." If previous debates and cam­ paign stump speeches repeat themselves, the candidates will push these issues hardest dur­ ing the debate, and then get to putting spin on the outcome. Kerry may have the spirt advantage, according to Gallup. He has seen significant boosts in his performance polling in the days following the debates." Immediately following the first debate, Kerry led Bush 53 per­ cent to 37 percent. Three days later, that number rose to 57 percent to 25 percent for Kerry. Likewise, after second debate, Kerry went from a 2- percent lead over Bush to a 15- percent lead. the Tonight, the candidates come out swinging at 8 p.m., and vot­ ers will have 20 days to conterm plate the outcome before the Nov. 2 election. TAKE A LOOK; IT'S IN A BOOK c o u r t : Display was donated in 1961 From page 1A religious belief. The Fraternal Order of Eagles donated the monument in 1961 to promote youth morality. For what will be his first time to argue in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, Abbott will con­ tend it is the "intent and pur­ pose" with which the monument is placed that should be con­ sidered in deciding if the First Amendment has been violated. "We will argue that the mon­ ument is secular in nature," Abbott said. "Just because it refers to the Bible does not mean that it is unconstitutional." The Ten Com m andm ents originally came from the Old Testament and have served as a moral and legal basis for the creation of many systems of government. But some argue historical significance does not make something secular. Thom as Van Orden, an Austin homeless man, got the case rolling when he sued the state, asking for the removal of the 6-foot-tall granite monu­ ment. He called it an endorse­ ment of Judeo-Christian beliefs by the state. "T h is law suit w asn 't filed against Christianity or Judaism ," Van Orden said. "It w asn't filed against the Ten Commandments. It only seeks to return state government to its proper posture of neutrality with regards to religion." Assuming Van Orden can generate the funds to make the trip, or get a ride some other way, he plans to argue the cast himself, according to the Los Angeles lim es. "W hat else am I going to do?" Van Orden told the Times. "Sit on a bench in a park?" The question of whether or not the Ten Commandments is a non-secular document w ill be a challenging one to decide. Lino Graglia, UT School of Law professor, said in the end it may come down to what Justice Sandra Day O'Connor decides. "You have four pretty’ reliable conservatives that will probably rule that the monuments meet the constitutional guidelines. Stevens, Souter and Ginsberg will probably rule that is unconstitutional, so the ques­ tion is, how will Kennedy and O'Connor vote?" Graglia said. it Additional reporting by The Associated Press C om m unications major Phil Clark enjoys the shade on a cool Tuesday Mary Kottlowski | Daily Texan Staff afternoon near the East Mall. party: MIC didn't inform group of intent to file complaint From p a g e l A that some people might find that term offensive, so we made it the 'cowboys and Native Americans party' instead," Deitering said. "We're all just students with good intentions of supporting UT and having a good time on the week­ end at a theme party. There were no activities or dress that were demeaning." Last year a UT fraternity was suspended by their national chap­ ter for throwing a "Gin and Juice," themed party where people alleg­ edly wore racially offensive T- shirts. Fraternities affiliated with the University and groups like the Flellraisers are both consid­ ered student organizations and are monitored by Campus and Community Involvement. According to Nathan Heinsohn, co-director of the MIC agency Longhorn Am erican Indian Council, the MIC plans to tile a for­ mal complaint with the Office of the Dean of Students, who would then handle any investigation in accordance with the University's nondiscrimination policy. "If they're sanctioned, we want there to be an educational part to this," Heinsohn said. "O f course, the organization should be repri­ manded for their actions, but they could be told they were wrong it. We w ithout understanding would like them to go through some sort of training." The MIC did not, however, inform the Hellraisers of their intentions to file a complaint. "If they want us to take a class or undergo training about diver­ sity, we'll go," Deitering said. "We want to show that we had no intentions of being derogatory towards Native Americans. All these people needed to do was to come and talk to us, and we could have avoided all this." Deitering said his group has made an active effort to become diverse through the recruitment and respect of underrepresented groups. For the Hellraisers "to be sanctioned because one person was offended is ridiculous," he said. But Heinsohn said this is exactly what the MIC is supposed to do. "The whole point of this center is for everyone to feel that their voice is equal, that they can say what they need to say and have it be taken seriously," Heinsohn said. The Hellraisers believe this is one complaint that shouldn't be taken seriously. "I don't see how every voice can be equal," Deitering said, "w hen all it takes is one voice to tarnish our reputation." Mp actus on the Patio Free show!

After amassing only 240 yards — including only 86 in the air — the Longhorn offense is facing as many questions and as much scru­ tiny as any program in America, much of it pointed at quarterback Vince Young. "Vince was pretty' mad," line­ said backer D errick Monday. "H e puts a lot of pressure Johnson on himself." Still, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, head coach Mack Brown took more than his share of the blame. And on Tuesday, the oft- criticized offensive coordinator Greg Davis blamed himself. "It's my responsibility to get him more com fortable," Davis said. "We have to continue to grow with the passing game. We have to get more production in the passing game, and we have to have more plays out of the wide receivers." then there's 21-year-old And Young, the quiet-yet-confident quarterback who staiggled might­ ily Saturday, completing only 8- of-23 passes. Players and coaches have praised Young and the bold leadership he displays in the hud­ dle, and claim that his coolness is infectious. Yet after being shielded from the press at Monday's press luncheon, Young was forthright and honest about his performance on Tuesday, taking his share of the blame. "I'm not the kind of guy that forgets easily," Young said. "It took just sitting me a couple nights, by myself reminiscing about the game." Young also said this is the most pressure he has felt since taking over as quarterback at Texas — one of the most scrutinized positions in college football. "That's a hard loss for me, espe­ cially when it's 12-0 Young said. "Knowing that we could've done better and got the ball in the end zone, it would've been a different game for us.’ NOTEBOOK continues on puqe >B Texas quarterback Vince Young attempts a pass as Oklahom a defensive back Donte Nicholson (8) closes in.

Mussina powers Yankees' victory Pitcher perfect until 7th to beat Boston By Ronald Blum The Associate Press NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera showed up just in time to save the New York Yankees. Shortly after jetting back from a funeral for relatives in Panama, baseball's greatest closer stopped the surging Boston Red Sox, who had cut an eight-run deficit to one. Rivera got Kevin Millar to pop out to strand the Wing run at third base in the eighth inning, then finished out a thrilling 10-7 win for the Yankees in Tuesday night's opener of the AL championship series. Hideki Matsui tied an ALCS record with five RBIs, four off Curt Schilling, Mike Mussina was perfect through six innings before Mark Bellhom doubled on a drive that hit the left-field wall on a hop with one out in the seventh and Bemie Williams drove in three runs, including a two-run double in the eighth that gave Rivera some breathing room. For much of the night it seemed like a laugher, with the Yankees ahead 6-0 by the third and 8-0 in the sixth. But after Bellhom 's hit on M ussina's 86th pitch, the stub­ bly faced pitcher's huge curveball quickly became hittable. Millar hit a two-run double with two outs and scored on a single by Trot Nixon. Tanyon Sturtze relieved and Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer on his third pitch, pulling the Red Sox to 8-5. David Ortiz made it 8-7 with a two-run triple in the eighth off Tom Gordon, who would have been the Yankees' closer had Rivera not been back and ready. Ortiz's drive to left-center bounced off the glove of Matsui near the top of the wall, and the crowd got up to welcome Rivera, perhaps the biggest factor in New York's six AL pennants RIVALRY continues on page SB 2 0 S h )RTS Big East pitted in Wednesday game Connecticut quarterback Dan Orlovsky gets off a pass in the third quarter of the Connecticut-Pittsburgh Big East Conference gam e on Sept. 20.

While West Virginia's hopes for an undefeated season came to an end in Blacksburg, the Hokies are now a member of the ACC and the game did not count towards the Mountaineers' conference record. Still the favorite to take the Big East crown and earn an automatic BCS bowl bid, West Virginia's confer­ ence opener is the first step toward that January date. A powerful running game against a powerful aerial offense. A Big East favorite against a team rapidly on the rise. The Mountaineers and the Huskies under the lights in Hartford. It's a good thing. Rare mid-week g a m e features Huskies, Hokies By Kyu-Heong Kim Daily Texan Staff night Wednesday and Connecticut are associated with college football as closely as Martha Stewart is with fair trad­ ing, but tonight the two converge. FOOTBALL NO. 16 WEST VIRGINIA VS. CONNECTICUT WHEN: Oct. 13, 6:30 p.m. WHERE: East Hartford, Conn. TV: ESPN In a rare Wednesday night game, No. 16 West Virginia rolls into home Connecticut's home, away from in Rentschler Field Hartford, Conn., with the ESPN cameras from nearby Bristol in atten­ dance. The Huskies, in their sixth year as a Division 1-A foot­ ball team, are coming off of their first ever Big East Conference win after powenng past Pittsburgh on national television Thursday night. Quarterback Dan Orlovsky and Connecticut (4-0, 1-1 Big East) have little time to waste before facing last season's other Big East co-champion, and this task could be much tougher. West Virginia (4-1, 0-0) knows the Huskies possess an explosive offense and have the ability to derail the Mountaineers' confer­ ence title hopes. “[Connecticut] is playing hard. They've got good athletes, and they've got one of the best quarterbacks in the country,' West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez said. Orlovsky possesses the arm that has many scouts projecting the senior to be playing on Sundays next season. He has thrown for 1,390 yards so far this year. He threw for less than 200 yards just once this season, in a 27-7 loss at Boston College. The Huskies need a strong outing from their lead­ er if they hope to pull the upset. Without star running back Terry Caulley, who has yet to fully recover from a knee last injury year, Orlovsky must air the ball out to keep his offense on par with the rushing attack of West Virginia's Kay-Jay Harris, who has 571 yards and six touchdowns this year. suffered While Harris' numbers have fallen since putting up 337 yards against East Carolina during the Mountaineers' season opener, the senior can still pound the ball in West Virginia's run-oriented offense. If the Huskies hope to have a chance in this game, they need to HEISMAN STOCK WATCH By Kyu-Heong Kim Daily Texan Staff 1. KYLE ORTON, QB, PURDUE He didn't throw for 300 yards. He didn't torch Penn State for four touchdowns. He may have been picked off twice, but Purdue beat the Nittany Lions, and Orton still has a 181.59 quarterback rating. Until the Boilermakers lose, Orton will remain one of the Heisman frontrunners. 2. MATT LEINART, QB, USC USC's problem all year has been its offensive line, and last weekend was no different, as Leinart was dropped four times. But even with a relentless Cal pass rush in his face all day, the senior played smart and threw two touchdown passes and almost guaranteed a Pac-10 title. 3. ADRIAN PETERSON, RB, OKLAHOMA Everyone knew Peterson was good, but until the Red River Shootout, nobody knew how good. The freshman looked like he did in high school, running for 225 yards and making the Longhorn defense look like one of the defenses he torched in Palestine. 4. AARON RODGERS, QB, CAL Twenty-three consecutive passes without an incompletion against USC, one of the top defenses in the nation. Rodgers deserves the Heisman for that stat alone. His performance also proved that Cal head coach Jeff Tedford is a quarterbacking genius. 5. JASON WHITE, QB, OKLAHOMA The reigning Heisman winner did almost everything he could to keep Texas in the game, throwing two interceptions and averaging a meager 4.3 yards per reception.

The diary of the 2003-04 season, titled “The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul," will be released this month. An excerpt of the book will be published in next week's issue of Los Angeles magazine. "I do know that there were many occasions this year when I felt like there was a psychologi­ cal war going on between us," Jackson wrote. “Amazingly, we came to a truce, even to a higher level of trust. Ultimately, though, I don't believe we developed enough trust between us to win a championship." Jackson said the strain between him and Bryant led him to hire a therapist to consult with during the season, according to the Los Angeles Times, which printed excerpts from the magazine arti­ cle in its Tuesday edition. Alyson Sadofsky, a spokes­ woman for SFX Basketball Group in Washington, said Bryant would not comment on the story. Jackson wrote he became so frustrated with Bryant that he told general manager Mitch Kupchak in January, "I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid." It was not the first time Jackson requested the team trade Bryant. He sought to trade him to the Phoenix Suns for Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion in the 1999-2000 season. But then-general manag­ er Jerry' West told Jackson ow ner Jerry Buss would never trade the Laker star, he wrote in his diary. Jackson said he was told the same thing last season. During last week's training camp, Bryant said he misses Jackson. “We've had our tough times, we had our share of arguments, but I've always respected him as a coach," he said. Jackson became exasperated with the feuding between Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. “At times the pettiness between the two of them can be unbeliev­ ably juvenile," he wrote. Jackson wrote that Bryant was angry O'Neal received allow­ ances from the Lakers organiza­ tion, but that “nobody this year, or in any year I've coached, has received more 'allowances' than Kobe Bryant." Among those allowances was the Lakers organization's par­ dal payment for the private jets Bryant took to Colorado for the hearings in his rape case. "I w on't coach this team next year if he is still here. He w on 't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid." Phil Jackson, about Kobe Bryant Bryant complained about the kind of plane he was given to fly to Colorado, Jackson wrote, adding, “He should feel fortu­ nate that he's not footing the bill himself." Jackson said he became con­ ditioned to blame Bryant, even when it wasn't the player's fault. The sexual assault charge against Bryant was dismissed last month at his accuser's request, but he still faces a lawsuit filed in Denver by the woman. Bryant told Jackson that O'Neal's presence on the team would affect his decision to stay with the Lakers, adding, "I'm tired of being a side­ kick," Jackson wrote. Bryant has said he had no role in Jackson or O'Neal's departures from the team. Jackson retired, and O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat. Buss also said the decision to trade O'Neal was made independently of Bryant. Jackson said he had run-ins with O'Neal as well but that coaching him was “an experience I will cherish forever."

After losing a bet to Mills and Keenan as to who would win the Ryder Cup, which Europe ran away with, Termeer and Harmon will soon have to endure a Union Jack hanging in the clubhouse. The two also never pass up a chance to play a gag on each other. “When he first moved over here, he didn't know how to get around, so’ I was trying get him lost the whole time, sending him the wrong way," Mills said. Keenan responded by cov­ ering Mills' car with whipped cream. The practical jokes aside, life at Texas means great pres­ sure and expectations. The demands of such an intense athletic program took some getting used for the pair. "The university system back in England [doesn't have] any kind of the same sports system as we do over here," Keenan said. "That's a big difference, being in this kind of competi­ tive environment all the time." Mills, who spent a year at Coastal Carolina University before transferring to Texas, also found the pressures in Austin slightly intimidating. "Here, you've got [a] hun­ dred people asking about you and how you played. I never really had that before," he said. Fields said he has seen improvement as both adjust to life on the 40 Acres. "There's definitely been a learning curve," he said, “They've gotten some time under their belts here, and they've both adjusted to the competitive environment." The evidence can be seen on their scorecards. Keenan's came at last year's Big 12 Championship, where his finished third and helped the team take home the confer­ ence title. For Mills, his seventh-place finish at the PING/Golfweek Preview in September was his best showing thus far on the individual leader board. “We're trying to win a cham­ pionship here," Fields said. "Both Matthew and Farren are two very important pieces of our team." Off the course, Mills and Keenan still miss some home comforts, but have found plen­ ty to love about the Lone Star State. Both said they miss every­ thing from English accents to English bacon, and they especially miss watching their favorite soccer teams Saturday afternoons. “Everyone says how Eng­ land and America are such similar countries, but the only thing that's similar is the lan­ guage, and even that's differ­ ent," Mills said. The pair refuses to adopt the local language, including the colloquial "y'all." “If [Keenan] started saying 'y'all,' I'd send him on the next box home," Mills said. Instead, they've gotten some of their teammates to pick up including the British slang, greeting “Oi." Mills and Keenan admit­ ted they do take a good rib­ bing about their appearance ' from their teammates, who don't share “the hobbits'" taste for spikey-haired Mohawks or mullets or J. Lindeberg clothes. "We get raked on pretty good about it, but it's all in good fun," Keenan said. Though they miss home, Keenan and Mills have found plenty love about Texas, from the weather to the food. "One of the big reasons why I came out here is to get out of the bad weather," Keenan said, "From October through April you can't really do much back home." The Texas cuisine is a benefit to life in the Lone Star State. "Rudy's," Mills emphati­ cally said when asked what he likes to eat in Austin. "You just can't get anything like that at home."

U nder M ack Brown, Texas is 6-0 in the week after the Red River Shootout, with four o f those w ins com ing off losses. But this year's annual bounce-back gam e will be different than the last four, as Texas gets to play M issouri in Austin rather than on the road. In 2000, the Longhorns respond­ ed in C olorado.

Brown believes the best w ay to get over a loss is to learn from the m istakes. With M issouri leading the Big 12 in total defense, Brown believes the Tigers are perfect to get Texas back on track. "M issouri will help us do that, m ore than anything else, because they are really good," Brown said. "We have the toughest schedule left of any team in the country.

The sociology |unior's funds are low, and her wallet is empty; but then she remembers her checkbook. ill right — the check w on't go It'; through for a couple of days, and she can deposit money later. "If 1 need something, I don't have money for, I know I can write a check, and it will be cov­ ered by the time it goes through," Sartain said. For Sartain and thousands of others, though, this cushion of "float time" will end soon. A new system called "Check 21" will greatly reduce the time it takes to process a check. New machines will scan checks, allow­ ing banks and retailers to imme­ diately know if a person has funds to match them. Checks will be processed electronically within 24 hours, as opposed to several days under the old system. "It will certainly cut back on the number of bounced checks we have," said Stephanie Guitierrez, m anager at Hancock Center H.E.B. All banks will be required to accept transfers and funds through Check 21 beginning Oct. 28, but they will not be required to transfer checks electronically until they upgrade equipment. fear Consumer unions this change will hurt shoppers because banks will no longer be required to return checks to them. Banks will be able to destroy checks at any point but will issue a "sub­ stitute" check upon request. The substitute will contain the same information as the real check and will act as its legal equivalent. "Overall it will help the banking industry," said Robert Courtney, manager at Washington Mutual. "It will cut down on fraud, and people who are floating checks won't be able to do it anymore." Unions say substitute checks could pose a problem because forgery will be harder to detect without being able to judge the pressure used to write the check. But if a check is paid twice or paid in error, a customer cannot get the money back without a substitute check. "The forgery experts tell us that the substitute checks could pose a problem when trying to detect a fake," said Micheál McCauley, representative for Consum ers Union. "The other concern with substitute checks is if you get an electronic image of your check, it won't be sufficient in processing problems if the check is illegiti­ mate." Consumers Union also said the new process will generate more revenue for banks. "A s a result of this new sys­ tem, there may be 7 million more bounced checks a month," McCauley said. "This would mean A new check clearing system will process them electroni­ cally w ithin 24 hours, unlike now, w here it may take up to several days. P h o to Illustration b y S h a u n Stew art an additional earning of $170 mil­ lion for the banking industry." Jam es Kielty, chief financial officer of the University Co-op, said consumers will ultimately have to be more conscious of their account balances. Kielty said, though, that 76 percent of purchases at the Co-op are made with debit or credit cards and only 11 percent with checks. Swiping a card is an easier and more convenient form of payment for most students, Sartain said, but she does use checks for larger things. As far as becoming more responsible with her check writing, Sartain said she believes Check 21 will have a different effect. "I'll probably just become irre­ sponsible with my debit card."

She thought becoming a homeowner wouldn't happen for four or five years, if at all, and she has her Individual Development Account to thank for it. On Tuesday, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, announced $476,000 in new federal funding that will cre­ ate 230 IDAs for the city's work­ ing poor. A non-profit organization called Foundation Communities will disburse the accounts. Participants in the IDA program make monthly deposits into a sav­ ings account that will be matched at a 2:1 rate with the goal of pur­ chasing a home, starting a small business or furthering education. Participants may be enrolled in the program for up to three years and save a maximum of $1,800 which would be matched with $3,600 for $5,400 in total savings. “This is a help for people who have great potential, but just need a little assistance," Doggett said. To qualify for the program, individuals must have less than $10,000 in personal assets and meet income guidelines for the program. Participants are also required to enroll in a 10-hour finance class to learn to budget their savings and manage assets. to Previously, people had be a resident in a Foundation Communities complex to par­ ticipate in the program, but the new accounts will be open to all residents of Austin, said Walter Moreau, executive director for Foundation Communities. “For families living paycheck to paycheck, we want to provide hope," Moreau said. Foundation Communities' IDA program was started more than seven years ago as an experiment to further the nonprofit's efforts to assist, low-income families, Moreau said. Since then, more than 300 peo­ ple have opened accounts with IDA. Fifty-one people have used their funds to purchase homes, 36 people have used them to further their education, and 12 people have used the money to start a small business. In addition to the IDA program, Foundation Communities pro­ vides a number of services tor low- income families, including after­ school programs and night classes for adults. It also created 10 low- income family housing complexes in south Austin. The non-profit hopes to open a community tax center in 2005 to help families fill out their tax forms. The center is expected to open Jan. 15 but still needs about 200 volun­ teers. Moreau encouraged students to sign up. "These programs do work, and there are many more stories like mine around the United States," Davila said. “This has been such a blessing."

He said children would be particularly at risk because the rail line bisects 32 school boundary zones. "Capital Metro's commuter line is not environmentally friendly, it is not safe, and noth­ ing they can do will make it safe for commuters or school children."

Capital Metro said they w on't make a decision on what engine to use until after Nov. 2.

Skaggs, who runs an anti-rail group that opposes increases in taxes and encourages more roads, said the rail line isn't an effective way to use tax dollars. Capital Metro said All Systems No's claims are inaccurate. “There are numerous pre­ cautions in place," said Andrea Lofye, a spokeswoman for Capital Metro. "There are a total of 73 crossings in the 32-mile segment, and each crossing is 100 percent compliant with federal and state safety standards." As for commuters, passen­ ger trains are one of the safest forms of transportation, said Dick Kallerman, who works for the Sierra Club.

The group called on Austin vot­ ers to oppose the commuter rail referendum on the Nov. 2 ballot. According to the group's spokes­ man, Steve Scherer, the proposed rail isn't safe and could be envi­ ronmentally hazardous. “Capital Metro's commuter line is not environmentally friendly, it is not safe, and nothing they can do will make it safe for commut­ ers or school children," Scherer said. The com m uter rail, which w ould stretch from Leander to dow ntow n Austin, was approved by Capital Metro in late August. It is Capital Metro's second, scaled-down attem pt to build a commuter rail line in Austin; an expansive proposal in 2000 was narrowly rejected by voters. The rail's backers, however, flatly denied all claims made by All Systems No. The group, whose name is a spoof on Capital Metro's title for the rail plan “All Systems Go!," includes former city councilman Max Nofziger and, veteran anti­ rail activist Jim Skaggs.

"It's been about a year or two since we've been funding it, and we're still able to offer it free of charge, because we think it's that important. Most other agencies have to charge a fee," said Officer William Pieper of the UTPD Crime Prevention Unit. UTPD is able to waive the regular $25 fee because the University gives them enough money to hold one course per month, Pieper said. An estimat­ ed 1,200 to 1,500 universities across the country participate in Rape Aggression Defense. The RAD program, which has been running at the University for the past three-and-a-half years, originally received fund­ ing from the Voices Against Violence grant that covered all costs. Kathy Wi ight, a certified RAD instructor since 1995, said every physical technique has a basis in martial arts. She describes the program as a "short-term self defense" course. "We are not trying to train an art, which can take a lifetime. We give basic information with a lot of repetition so that women feel they can perform under emotional distress if necessary," she said. Instructor training is open to all women, but men must either have a background in law enforcement or "be will­ ing to submit to a background investigation" according to the program's Web site. According to the UTPD Web site, men are generally not allowed to take the course because they might learn the "surprise" techniques; A RAD course for men is offered in other cities, but not at the University because it requires special training, Pieper said. The most important piece of equipment, and what makes the RAD program unique, is a patented suit that is worn by a mock "aggressor" so that students can practice their self- defense techniques without injuring anyone. The suits, which Wright said are made of layers of foam dipped in vinyl and strategi­ cally-placed plastic inserts to provide the wearer with max­ imum protection, cost a little more than $1,300. When UTPD began funding the program, they asked Student Government and the Graduate Student Assembly for funding for the suits, said Jessica Rice, SG internal financial director. "Because the suits are meant to practice self- for people defense on, they get run down pretty quickly," Rice said. The first RAD course this semester begins Nov. 8, and stu­ dents can sign up by contacting Officer Laura Davis through the UTPD Web site.

Dean Sagun j Daily Texan Staff Protesters demand legislator return $35,000 in funding Campaign monies allegedly came from D ela y group By Aaron Nelsen Daily Texan Staff A small group of University Democrats gathered outside the campaign headquarters of state Rep. Todd Baxter, R-Austin, to persuade him to Tuesday return money he accepted from the Republican National State Elections Committee. B axter's campaign received $35,000 that allegedly came from $190,000 in illegal corporate dona­ tions to Texans for a Republican Majority, a fund-raising group for U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLav, R-Sugar Land. The group held signs of pro­ test and hung fake money from a clothesline as passing cars honked. "This is more of an issue of eth­ ics and leadership," said Marcus Ceniceros, government sopho­ more and president of University Democrats. "We want to see our public-officials held accountable, and if these funds are deemed illegal, then he should give it back." The presented Baxter's office with a letter ask­ ing him to donate the money to either a local children's hospital or college scholarship fund. protesters The allegations stem from a Travis County grand jury investi­ gation of Texans for a Republican M ajority Action Committee. P olitical DeLay was integral in creating the political action committee and served as chairman of its advi­ sory board, though he denies any wrongdoing. Three of DeLay's associates were indicted on felo­ ny charges of violating state cam­ paign finance laws. All three have been released on bail, and their lawyers have said their clients have done nothing illegal. finance "C am paign is fraught with gray areas," said James Henson, a government lec­ turer at the University. law "The University Democrats are exploiting partisan politics to benefit themselves, and making a non-issue an issue" Sachiv Mehta, College Republicans chairman In Texas corporate contribu­ tions to legislative candidates are illegal, and state law gener­ ally prohibits spending corporate money to directly aid a campaign. But the same money can be used for administrative costs. JohnColyandro, theTRMPAC's executive director, faces charges of money laundering for send­ ing $190,000 in corporate dona­ tions to the Republican National Committee, according the indictment. That money was later distributed to seven candidates, including Baxter. to "There is no allegation that Todd, Baxter did anything wrong ..." said Fred Lewis, president of Campaigns for People, a watch­ dog group. Lewis said Baxter is not implicated because he did not know the funds he accepted were allegedly laundered. "From a legal perspective what he did is not illegal. Now whether he should give the money back; that's a decision for him and the voters to make." Baxter's office declined requests for comment Tuesday. Some Republicans have said Democrats are using the issue to advance partisan goals.

Settle for a taste of the Em pire State at K atz's Deli & Bar on West Sixth Street. This kosher-style deli, complete with New York photos and even a subway sign on one wall, came to Austin in 1979 and has been open nonstop since 1983.

Among a selection o f about a- dozen appetizers, the spin­ ach and artichoke dip ($6.99) was another unusual find, but not nearly as good. W hile this dip is popular at lots of other restaurants, K atz's Deli & B ar's is distinguished with smoked jack cheese, resulting in a very strong, smoky flavor akin to that of bacon.

And he was correct. More than just a huge slab of dessert (Katz offered to get a fork and help eat it), its smooth texture and utter decadence were the marks of cheesecake perfection. Although this is a New York- style deli, many of the desserts include A ustin's A m y's Ice Creams, and the shakes were this eve­ esp ecially popular ning. A shake made of Mexican Vanilla ice cream and espresso ($4.34) provided a sweet ending to the meal. This restaurant was com fort­ able and bright, and featured a hodgepodge of muffled music, ranging from Bowling For Soup to M oody Blues. The diners were noticeably noisy and con­ sisted of what appeared to be regulars at the bar and families in the dining room.

Luckily, thanks to the Austin Film Festival, October also means a celebration of inventive and entertaining film m aking from some of the most innovative and creative minds in the business. The Austin Film Festival, now in its 11th vear, is different from many festivals that tend to lionize the auteur filmmaker. This year's festival w ill run from October 14-21. A FF emphasizes the role of the screen­ writer, bringing in the some of the top screenwriting talent in the industry as guests and panelists. Film Program Director K elly W illiam s notes that by encouraging and focusing on the writer, A F F hopes to celebrate the art of the construction of narrative and its importance in the film m aking process. W illiam s also points out that the festival is a good place for students and aspiring film makers to send their work, especially since the festival is Academy-sanctioned — meaning that w inning an award at the Festival autom atically qualifies a film for an Academ y Aw ard nomination. The festival includes full- and short- length docum entary and feature com­ petitions as w ell Bollyw ood film s, music docum entary and retrospective showcases. Such variation in program­ ming helps the festival gain an even broader appeal. Some of the more highly anticipated feature film s include "Sid ew ays," star­ ring Paul Giam atti and Thomas Haden Church (that's right, from "W in g s ") and directed by "Election " and "A bout Schm idt" director Alexander Payne; "O vern ig ht" from M ark Brian Sm ith; "P S ," directed by D ylan Kidd of "Rodger D odger" fame and starring Laura Linney and Topher Grace; the ani­ mated "Steam boy" from Japanese film ­ maker Katsuhiro Otomo; and "Saw ," a psychological thriller from James W an starring C ary Elw es and D anny Glover. The festival w ill play a double fea­ ture of "Unconstitutional" and "Soldiers Pay," both dealing w ith very' current sub­ ject matter, on Sunday and Wednesday. Adam M cKay, director of "Anchorm an," w ill be screening some of his short films. Some of the big-name conference attendees include Elwes, Kidd, B arry Levinson and G ary Shandling. Levinson and Shandling w ill receive the Austin F ilm Festival Distinguished Screenwriting Aw ard and the Outstanding Television W riter Aw ard respectively. This year's festival w ill showcase some of the finest talent w orking in film today. For more inform ation on scheduling, conference events and ticket sales, go to wiuw.austinfiltnfestival.com.

The point of the docum entary, though, is that he did n't. In 1978, a 28-year-old H a ll fell from a bridge in upstate N ew York on the grounds of his Lexington Conservatory Theatre, suffering brain dam age that he says dropped his IQ from 200 to 6. In 2003, the N E A gave a the­ ater com pany in N orth C arolina a grant to produce the p lay H a ll was w ritin g the night he fell. That staging w ould make for a great docum entary, but it only fills the last quarter of the film . The story of H a ll founding the LC T in the m iddle of the country w ould also have been an inter­ esting road to take, but unfortu­ nately it's on ly a pit stop in the story Rose w ants to establish.

C onrad H a ll's "D o w n h ill R acer" w as m ade into a Robert Redford m ovie, and the explicit lesson is to never name your son "th e second or th ird " because h e'll have to live up to the first. Extending the Grecian m eta­ phor, Rose reveals that as an A n d o ve r film student, H a ll starred as D ionysius, running naked through the h ills pursued by nude nym phs on ly to fall dow n a snow-covered h ill and rise, god-like, from the dead. W hen descriptions of H a ll's life aren't stereotypically Greek, they're just' stereotypically writ- erly.

For that matter, it doesn't take long to get tired of being told that H a ll had an am azing theatrical m ind. The problem is that Rose rarely show s that b ril­ liant theater in action. T h is after-the-fact style of in terview in g makes the docu­ m entary seem like an episode of "B eh in d the M u sic," where w e learn new tidbits and perspec­ tives about w h atever celebrity w e already love enough to turn on V H 1 at three in the morning. The problem here is that we d o n 't know enough of H a ll at the beginning to care. There's no sense of exigency entering into the m ovie.

It'll even match up to, dare I say, "B e h in d the M u sic: G eorge M ich ael" — it creates a need to care about the spelling prodigies from the get-go. T h e these w h e re m om ents "N am eless T h in g s" succeeds, and re ally are great moments, are in the cast's read­ ings of H a ll's plays, the inter­ view s w ith the people w ho are still close to him and the inter­ view s w ith H all him self. In the excerpts from H a ll's p lays w e not only fin a lly hear the genuine talent everyone else just talks about, w e really see ho w m uch they care about him. In the in terview s w ith his cur­ rent and previous g irlfrien d s we see a coherent story of people surrounding him w ith love. And, best of all, in his inter­ view s w e see the real em otion he has in dealing w ith his life: a life w here he has forgotten w h y he w rote most of w h at he did, for a tim e became an alcoholic and believed he was being watched by snipers, but a life w here he can still converse in tellig ently about the obscure 19th-century French p layw rig h t w ho in flu ­ enced his style. The o n ly thing that mars these honest, touching moments is the m usic that cues up each tim e to signal that w e're enter­ ing into sentim ental territory.

Three weeks before the elec­ tion, the running mates were running hard, too. Vice President Dick Cheney defended anew the invasion of Iraq, but Sen. John Edwards said Bush and Cheney had made a mess of the war and were "out of touch with w hat's happening in the real world." Kerry prepared at a Santa Fe, N.M., hotel for his third televised confrontation with Bush, sched­ uled for 9 p.m. EDT in Tempe, Ariz., but he did take time during the afternoon for a bike ride. Bush met with political advisers and his debate sparring partner, Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. At a rally in Colorado Springs, Bush mocked Kerry's credibility and said the debates so far "have highlighted the clear differences between the senator and me on issues ranging from jobs to taxes to health care to the war on ter­ ror." Again and again he repeat­ ed what has become a favorite refrain: Kerry "can run but he cannot hide" from his record. Bush won the Rocky Mountain state by more than 8 percentage points in 2000, but Colorado has shown signs it could tilt either way this year. While the president spoke in Colorado Springs, which went his way four years ago in the south­ ern part of the state, Edwards campaigned in Commerce City, President George W. Bush gestures as he addresses supporters at a cam paign rally at Red Rocks Am phitheater near Morrison, Colo., on Monday. Ed A n d r ie s k i ¡ Associated Press just northwest of Denver. The North Carolina Democrat said Bush was out of touch with important issues including health care and the economy. "I'll tell you what would be good for the economy, would be to outsource George Bush," he said. * On the stump and in an inter­ view with AF Radio, Edwards criticized administration deci­ sions regarding Iraq. He cited U.S. deaths that have topped 1,000, and he said the country had become a magnet for terrorists. But Cheney, campaigning in low a, said under Saddam Hussein the country probably would have served as a source of weapons for terrorists. "The situation we faced was Saddam Hussein and Iraq pre­ sented the most likely place where there could be a nexus between the terrorists on the one hand and weapons of mass destruction," Cheney said. The chief U.S. weapons inspec­ tor in Iraq said Oct. 6 he had concluded that Saddam 's Iraq produced no weapons of mass destruction after 1991 and that Iraq's ability to develop such DINING DIRECTORY Clip & post to your refrigerator weapons had weakened over years of U.N. sanctions. However, Charles Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group, said Saddam remained a threat and hoped to revive his weapons program if the United Nations lifted sanctions. Bush was introduced at a campaign rally by his daughter Jenna, who read from a prepared statem ent the president's audience in Colorado Springs. that delighted "H e has brought to our family the same values he's brought to this country: strength, compas­ sion and integrity," she said. For Bush, Wednesday s debate is a chance to revive in public opinion polls as the clock ticks down to Election Day. Bush's rally was invitation- only. About 100 demonstrators gathered outside, many carry­ ing signs protesting the Iraq war. "Fear more years," read one sign. "Bush's war: how many lives per gallon?" said another. Som e D em ocrats have expressed concern that Kerry was spending time preparing for the debates while Bush was out tearing him down. While it is true that Kerry has stayed out of the public eye before each of the debates, there have been several days during the past two weeks when Kerry's campaign schedule has been more ambitious than Bush's. Economists: Plans fall short Experts say neither Bush nor Kerry will help econom y By Leigh Strope The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Bush says his economic policies, including billions o f dollars in tax cuts, are helping to create new jobs. But not the millions he promised. Democratic chal­ lenger John Kerry says 10 mil­ lion new jobs would be added in his first term. D on't bet on that either. Economists say both candi­ dates' plans fall short in com ­ bating the problems that are impeding job growth: skyrock­ eting budget and trade deficits, and soaring costs for health care, oil and gas. The centerpiece of Bush's job creation plan is making perma­ nent his nearly $1.9 trillion, 10- year tax cuts. He also says he wants to restructure and simplify the tax code, give tax breaks to encour­ age private investment in lower- incom e com m unities, reduce government regulation on busi­ nesses, restrain federal spend­ ing, limit frivolous lawsuits and expand energy exploration, pro­ duction and capacity. Kerry wants to lower employ­ ers' health-care costs through tax credits and premium relief. He proposes tax cuts for small businesses, middle- and lower- income earners and businesses hurt by outsourcing. He wants to reduce the federal deficit in four years, pursue energy-effi­ cient technology and end tax breaks for companies that send Americans' jobs overseas. Jobs, the economy and other domestic issues are the topics for Wednesday's third and final presidential debate. Many of the job creation pro­ large price posals come with tags, a concern to economists amid ballooning federal bud­ get deficits they say ultimately will stifle job growth with rising interest rates that limit business investment and slow produc­ tion. is, w ho "The question is going to pay for all of this?" said Ken Mayland, president of ClearView Economics. Kerry and Bush have pledged to slice the deficit in half in four years. The deficit was estimated at $415 billion for the 2004 bud­ get year that ended Sept. 30. But if Congress enacted all of Bush's proposals, or all of Kerry's, the deficit w ouldn't shrink much. Under Bush, it would be $375 billion by 2009, and $447 billion under Kerry, said econom ic research firm Global Insight Inc. Balancing the expansion of global trade opportunities and keeping jobs at home is a dilem­ ma. Kerry said he will raise taxes on employers who ship jobs overseas. Economists aren't sure that will work. "To the extent w e can induce, but not mandate, businesses to keep more jobs here, that's obviously a laudable goal," said Sung Won Sohn, Wells Fargo chief economist. "B u t how you do that, I'm not sure." The benefits of Kerry's health care plan to employers could be outweighed by its cost — $653 billion over 10 years, economists said. "I'm not convinced either can­ didate has the solution to the health care problems" that are holding down hiring, Sohn said. Rising oil and energy prices hurting employers is a longer- term problem, economists said. Bush's energy plan, emphasiz­ ing drilling, exploration and production, will add jobs, as will Kerry's plan, which is heavier on conservation and developing new technology. Sohn said the country must do a better job of finding alter­ native energy sources and con­ serving.

Application deadline for early decision: November 1 www.columbia.edu/cu/mpaenvironment 5C Wednesday, October 13,2004 www.dailytexanonline.com T h e D a i l y T e x a n Officials rush flu shot on highest-need basis Pediatricians, nursing homes getting first round By Lauren Neergaard The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The gov­ ernm ent m oved Tuesday to direct scarce remaining flu shots straight to pediatricians, nursing homes and other places that care for the patients who need them most. But only a fraction of the 22.4 million doses that maker Aventis Pasteur has yet to ship can be diverted to areas with the big­ gest shortages. And officials acknowledged Tuesday that even if planned rationing goes well, there will be high-risk patients who struggle to get shots but can't find them. "We're sorry for the people who need flu vaccine and may not be able to get it this year," said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "But we will take every step that we can take to get an equitable distribution of vac­ cine as quickly as we can." The targeted shipments come as CDC struggles to ensure that the youngest, oldest and sickest Americans — those most vulner­ able to influenza — have first access to flu shots now that the nation's supply has been cut in half. Gerberding called those healthy adults heeding CDC's plea to forgo flu shots this year "heroes." But, "shame on the people who are price-gouging," she said, pledging to help state officials prosecute those doing so. There have been scattered reports of price gouging since the shortage was announced, and Kansas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Meds-Stat, a pharmaceu­ tical distributor. Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline said Meds- Stat proposed selling the vaccine to a pharmacy in Kansas City, Kan., last Friday for $900 per vial; a week earlier, the company was selling it for $85 per vial. Each vial contains about 10 doses. Also Tuesday, two other com­ panies revealed they had offered the government flu vaccine origi­ nally intended for sale abroad. GlaxoSmithKline has 500,000 doses manufactured in Germany; ID Biomedical is offering 1 mil­ lion to 1.5 million doses made in Canada. The Food and Drug Administration hasn't approved either vaccine brand for sale in this country. "It's not easy to get unlicensed vaccine into the country in time to solve any problems this year," Gerberding cautioned. "But we're not ruling anything out." British regulators unexpectedly shut down a major U.S. vaccine supplier, Chiron Corp., last week, freezing shipment of up to 48 mil­ lion expected flu shots. That left Aventis as this year's sole supplier of injectable flu vac­ cine, a total of 55.4 million doses. More than half already has been sold and shipped — doses that can't be yanked back, although Aventis is asking customers to share any not reserved for high- risk patients. Tuesday's plan targets Aventis' remaining shots. A shipment of about 14.2 million doses will begin this week. Distribution will take six to eight weeks. Also on the list are state health departments that had ordered supplies from Chiron only and thus haven't yet received any doses. Gerberding w ouldn't list the states Tuesday, saying more information on when and where shipments will arrive should be available later in the week. "Be patient," Damian Braga, president of Aventis' U.S. branch, told patients and providers. Vaccine shipments are paced through late November, when flu season is just getting started. But the vast majority of those now-shipping doses already were sold to high-risk providers, Braga acknowledged. That leaves 8.2 million doses — half headed for a planned federal stockpile — that CDC will target even more strictly. The agency is tracking vaccine shipments, the num ber of high-risk residents and number of flu cases county- by-county, to direct those final doses to areas most in need. Dutch government's pot sales up in smoke, demand drags 'Coffee shop' weed more affordable, easily accessable By Maria Lokshin The Associated Press AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — There's a whiff of crisis in the air at the Dutch Health Ministry: It's sitting on a pile of pot that it just can't sell. The Netherlands rolled out a program last year that allows patients to buy prescription mar­ ijuana at any pharmacy. Some medical insurance policies cover at least part of the cost, but often not enough to offset the phar­ macy price. In a country where any adult can walk into a "coffee shop" and smoke a joint for much less than the government price, many say the experiment is a bust. "I think it's a shame that they can't deliver a cannabis product a little bit cheaper than the coffee shops," said David Watson, head of Hortapharm, an Amsterdam- based com pany to research and develop cannabis for pharmaceutical use. licensed The government says pack­ aging and distribution push up its prices and acknowledges its program may be foundering. Of some 450 pounds in anticipated sales, only about 175 pounds have been sold, said Bas Kuik, spokes­ man for the Office of Medicinal Cannabis, an arm of the Dutch Ministry of Health. The government sells two vari­ eties ranging from about $10 to $12 a gram, enough for up to four joints. Coffee shops sell it for as little as $5 a gram, with only the highest-quality weed fetching prices comparable to the govern­ ment's. the U nder liberal Dutch approach, the law forbids private­ ly growing and selling manjuana, and has no tolerance for dealing in hard drugs, but refrains from pros­ ecuting the sale of small amounts. The medicinal program allows pharmacies to sell standardized, quality-controlled m arijuana from authorized growers to suf­ ferers of chronic or terminal dis­ eases. for One of two legal manjuana growers the government program is James Burton, an American who immigrated after spending a year in a U.S. prison for growing marijuana to fight glau­ coma. He founded the Stichting Institute of Medical Marijuana in Rotterdam, and for more than a decade sold pot directly to as many as 1,500 patients. He esti­ mates about 10,000 people in the Netherlands use it for medical reasons. In 2001 he signed an exclusive contract to provide the govern­ ment program with cannabis. But the five-year agreement was terminated prematurely after he talked about it on Dutph tele­ vision and was accused by the government of breaking a confi­ dentiality clause.
