S u s a n C lagett, a sso c ia te vice p re sid e n t fo r p u b lic affairs Incoming students were slowly warming up to cheers of "Texas" and "fight" led by UT cheerleaders, but a brief video clip showed former UT kicker Dusty Mangum's win­ ning kick from last year's Rose Bowl game and his appearance on stage brought the crowd to life. Once Mangum kicked a signed football into the crowd, hands stretched into the air to catch it and cheers erupted. Shortly after sunset, a crowd of roughly 5,000 students and faculty gathered on the Main Mall Tuesday night for the Gone to Texas event which showcased student groups and athletes such as Mangum. Historically, many Americans immigrating to Texas often posted the phrase "Gone to Texas" on doors of their aban­ doned homes to let people know where they had gone. The rally promoted this theme to welcome new students who have left their hometowns for a new life as well. Many colleges and schools held separate events before­ hand, providing pizza, bar­ becue, fajita dinners or live music before students traveled together to the Main Mall to cheer on their college. "It's a parallel experience to what they'll do four years later when they graduate," said Susan Clagett, associate vice president for public affairs at UT. While open to all students, Tuesday's ceremony focused on welcoming residents attending the University for D a n ie l Feeser | Daily Texan Staff the first time, including under­ graduate freshmen, first-year graduate students and transfer students. "It is a welcoming event to share with new students the identity and spirit of the University of Texas," Clagett said. About a dozen student groups provided entertain­ ment including the Longhorn Band, Longhorn cheerleaders, the Texas Juggling Society and a number of other singing and dance groups. Innervisions Gospel Choir sang "Eyes of Texas."

Colton Pitonyak, 22, will plead not ;uilty and says he did not kill Cave, iccording to his lawyer, Sam Bassett, lassett said Pitonyak has not specifi­ cally accused anyone else of Cave's murder. Cave was found dead and muti­ lated Aug. 18 in Pitonyak's West Campus apartment. Police eventually apprehended Pitonyak and anoth­ er student, Laura Hall, in Piedras Negras, a Mexican border town. Pitonyak is charged with first- degree murder but is not eligible for the death penalty unless prosecutors prove the murder was committed during the commission of another crime. Bassett said the case would probably last until at least 2006. Hall was released by police at the border but arrested Friday and charged with hindering apprehen­ sion, a third-degree felony. Cave told her mother Aug. 16 she was going to dinner with Pitonyak, and called a friend at about 1 a.m. that night, saying she was still with Pitonyak. Cave's body was found Thursday night. Investigators say Hall and Pitonyak left for Eagle Pass Wednesday night and spent about four days in a Holiday Inn just across the border. U.S. Marshals tracked Hall's Cadillac to the hotel, and Mexican police deported them Aug. 23 at about 2 a.m. Hall told her friend, Said Aziz, that Pitonyak is innocent, and that "there's a big difference between manslaugh­ ter and first-degree murder," accord­ ing to her arrest warrant. Bassett said he could not comment on Hall's statement. Pitonyak served 20 days in jail for misdemeanor cocaine possession in June. His former lawyer, David Hughes, said he spent a month in drug reliab last fall.

T h e D a il y T e x a n Fraternity: Belly-flop lawsuit could land back in court s docket next year From p ag e l A Tau Om ega shared any fault in W esley H o llo w ay's p araly­ sis after he belly-flopped into a m akeshift pool fraternity mem ­ bers built for a foam party. "The ju ry had sent out a note on Frid ay saying they were dead­ locked, but the judge encouraged them to continue trying ," said Robby Alden, H o llo w ay's attor­ ney. In M a y 2003, Hollow ay, then a member of ATO , attended a foam party at the fraternity house. A t the party, H ollow ay attempted to belly-flop into a m akeshift pool filled w ith less than a foot of w'ater. The fraternity's law yer said the pool w as intended to be used for w ashing off soap from the foam-filled room inside the ATO house. H o llo w ay hit the opposite side of the 12-foot- w ide pool and w as paralyzed from the chest down. According to witness statements, H o llo w ay had between four and five beers before the party, but w as not served alcohol at the fraternity house. H o llo w ay w as seeking up to $25 m illion to cover past and future m edical costs, pain and suffering, loss of income, im pair­ ment and disfigurem ent. A lden said in most quadriple­ gic cases juries aw ard anyw here from $15 m illion to $30 m illion. "W e are not asking for $25 m il­ lion. W e are asking for w hatever am ount the jury w ill aw ard up to $25 m illion." A lden said the trial date w ill be reset once the attorneys can find w hen it w ill be most conve­ nient for all of the witnesses and parties in the case. Alden specu­ lated the case m ay be reset for early Jan u ary w hile H o llo w ay and A TO members are out of school on vacation, or for next sum m er depending on how full the central docket is. The ju ry w ent into delibera­ tion on Thursday attem pting to answ er three questions. The first w as w hether H o llo w ay and the fraternity w ere at fault for the accident, and it w as decided by the ju ry that both were. "T h ey w ere deadlocked on the second question," A lden said, w hich w ould have decided how much each party w as to blam e for. If the ju ry decided H o llo w ay w as more than 50 percent at fault then he w ould receive no recov­ ery from the fraternity. " It w as a six-and-six sp lit, and they n e ve r w a v e re d ," said Jam es Ew b an k , one of the frate rn ity's attorneys. Ew b an k said six of the jurors b elieved H o llo w a y should take m ost of the blam e, and six of the jurors decided the blam e w as equal or that it w as A T O 's fault. The ju ry never got to question three, w h ich w ould have determ ined the cost of dam ages. Ew bank said the hung ju ry surprised him. " I believed that in Travis County, personal respon­ sib ility for your actions w as a strong them e," Ew bank said. "T he fraternity did not serve Wes alcohol, and he w as a lifeguard." According to Ew bank, before the case he w as certain at least 10 of the jurors w ould allocate respon­ sib ility to Hollow ay. Katrina: Victims anxiously await to rebuild From p ag el A founder of the organization. K aty Hebei, a business hon­ ors senior and president of the U niversity's Am erican Red Cross Club, said the club has already started w orking on relief for those affected by Katrina. "T h ey have called out volun­ teers to set up tents, put in data for caseworkers and go to the hurricane sites them selves," said Hebei, w ho added that the Red Cross C lub w ould be w orking for an on-campus fundraiser in the near future. Besides Kennedy, geography senior Rachel Briles also fled her hom etown of Birm ingham , Ala. for Austin last weekend w ith her fam ily. "There was nowhere to sleep; all the hotels on the highways were full," said Briles. "W e had to take turns sleeping and driv ing." H er m other stayed behind to board up the house, but Briles .said Birm ingham w as m ostly spared from K atrina's destruc­ tive force. Kennedy, his grandparents and younger brother sought shelter at his parents' home in Baton Rouge, w here flooding wras less of a threat. But they spent Sunday night through esti­ mated 75 m ph w inds and still w oke to destruction. "There w ere trees dow n all over our yard, po w er lines snapped on the road," Kennedy said. " It w as just a m ess." For those directly affected by the hurricane, w aiting for aid is the hardest part. "I'm just praying for the peo­ ple still stuck there, w atching them clim b onto their rooftops," Kennedy said. H e said now that he's back in Austin he continues to w atch the news for updates on N ew Orleans. Despite the storm wreckage, Kennedy said his fam ily isn 't concerned about the m aterial possessions left behind. "A ll that's replaceable," he said.

U.N. investigators were interro­ gating the men at a hillto p hotel overlooking Beirut after search­ ing the generals'homes.

NATION BRIEFS__ Governors ignite debate with border declarations SANTA FE, N.M. — With just three w o rds— "state o f emer­ gency"— border state Govs. Bill Richardson o f New Mexico and Janet Napolitano o f Arizona injected urgency into a simmering national debate over illegal im m i­ gration. First Richardson, then Napolitano, declared a state of emergency this m onth in portions o f their states along the border w ith Mexico. In doing so, they freed state money for local govern­ ments and law enforcement to cope w ith what they describe as increasing border crime and prob­ lems related to illegal immigration. Politically and symbolically, the Democratic governors may have achieved much more. "The fact that tw o governors out o f the four on the border have issued emergency declarations should be a wake-up call for the Congress to pursue serious im m i­ gration reform," said Richardson, w ho is considered a possible presi­ dential candidate in 2008. With Richardson and Napolitano running for re-election in 2006, their emergency declarations may also help inoculate them from potential campaign attacks for their handling of immigration measures. Napolitano says the issue isn't partisan, or at least shouldn't be. "It's a border-state issue for Arizona," she said. Compiled from Associated Press reports \ By Holbrook Mohr The Associated Press GULFPORT, Miss. — Rescuers in boats and helicopters struggled to reach hundreds of wet and bedrag­ gled victims of Hurricane Katrina on Tuesday as the scope of the disaster became clearer with every tale of misery. Mississippi's gover­ nor said the death toll in one county alone could be as high as 80. "A t first light, the devastation is greater than our worst fears. It's just totally overwhelming," Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said the morning after Katrina howled ashore with winds of 145 mph and engulfed thousands of homes in one of the most punishing storms on record in the United States. In New Orleans, meanwhile, water began rising in the streets Tuesday m orning, apparently because of a break on a levee along a canal leading to Lake the Pontchartrain, prompting evacuation of hotels and hospitals. New Orleans lies mostly below sea level and is protected by a net­ work of pumps, canals and levees, but many of the pumps were not working Tuesday morning. Officials began using helicopters to drop 3,000-pound sandbags into the breach, and expressed confi­ dence the problem could be solved within hours. All day, rescuers were also seen using helicopters to drop lifelines to victims and pluck them from the roofs of homes cut off by flood- waters. "We know that last night we had over 300 folks that we could con­ firm were on tops of roofs and wait­ ing for our assistance. We pushed hard all throughout the night. We hoisted over 100 folks last night just in the Mississippi area. Our crews over New Orleans probably did twice that," Capt. Dave Callahan of the Coast Guard in Mississippi said on ABC. National Guardsmen brought in people from outlying areas to New Orleans' Superdome in the backs of big two-and-a-half-ton Army trucks. Louisiana's wildlife enforce­ ment department also brought people in on the backs of their pick­ ups. Some were wet, some were in wheelchairs, some were holding babies and nothing else. Nevertheless, it was clear the By Robert H. Reid The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — In a dramat­ ic shift, the U.S. ambassador raised the possibility Tuesday of further changes to Iraq's draft constitution, signaling that the Bush administra­ tion has not given up its campaign to push through a charter that will be broadly accepted. Also Tuesday, U.S. warplanes struck three suspected al-Qaida targets near the Syrian border, kill­ ing what the U.S. military called a "known terrorist." Iraqi officials said 45 people died, most in fight­ ing between an Iraqi tribe that supports the foreign fighters and another that opposes them. last weekend by The nation's Sunni Arabs had demanded revisions in the draft, finalized the Shiite-Kurdish majority over Sunni objections. A Shiite leader said only minor editing would be accepted since the draft was now ready for voters in an Oct. 15 referendum. But A m bassador Zalm ay Khalilzad told reporters he believed "a final, final draff has not yet been, or the edits have not been, present­ ed yet" — a strong hint to Shiites and Kurds that Washington wants another bid to accommodate the Sunnis. "That is something that Iraqis will have to talk to each other (about) and decide for themselves," Khalilzad said, speaking alongside a major Sunni Arab community leader who denounced the current draft and accused the Shiite-domi­ nated government's security forces of assassinating Sunnis. The Bush administration wants a constitution acceptable to all Iraqi factions to help quell the Sunni- dominated insurgency so that U.S. and other foreign troops can begin to go home. Shiite leaders had no comment on Khalilzad's remarks. As consti­ tution wrangling drew to a close last week, Shiite officials com­ plained privately that the Sunnis were stonewalling and that further A smart way to help with tuition.

Eric Gay Associated Press death toll would rise sharply, with one survivor after another telling of friends and loved ones who floated off or disappeared as the fkxxiwa- ters rose around them. "I talked with paramedics that are on the scene and the devastation is so great that they won't quit count­ ing (bodies) for a while," said Mark Williams, operations supervisor for American Medicial Response, which operated ambulances along the Mississippi coast. Along the coast, tree trunks, downed power lines and trees, and chunks of broken concrete in the streets prevented rescuers from reaching victims. Swirling water in many areas contained hidden dangers. Crews worked to clear highways. Along one Mississippi themselves highway, motorists used chainsaws to remove trees blocking the road. negotiations were pointless. Shiite Influential lawmaker Khaled al-Attiyah, a member of the constitution drafting committee, insisted Tuesday that "no changes are allowed" to the draft "except for minor edits for the language." Sunnis objected primarily to federalism, which would create Kurdish and Shiite mini-states and threaten Sunni access to oil wealth; purges of former members of Saddam Hussein's Sunni-domi- nated Baath Party from govern­ ment; and tire description of Iraq as an Islamic but not Arab state, lumping it together with Shiite- dominated Iran. Shiites consider some of the Sunni demands, especially on the Baath party and federalism, as matters of principle not subject to compromise. "From a legal point of view, no change can be made to the draft," Shiite negotiator Hussein Athab said. "If [Khalilzad] means legal change, then this is not allowed. If he means political change, I don't know what he means." A STUDENT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY The information below is considered directory information.

But just as TV news personalities and their viewers, turned their focus to the tremendous devastation in Gulfport, Biloxi and the rest of the Gulf Coast, levees started breaking in the Crescent City. Flood waters in New Orleans rose all day Tuesday at star­ tling rates, hampering the efforts of rescue workers and forcing Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco to order the evacuation of the city's refugee centers. The full scope of this disaster will no doubt take months (or longer) to comprehend. As for now, we know more than 100 people have died in the Biloxi-Gulfport area, and stories of res­ cue workers passing floating corpses on their way to help the stranded resonate as evidence that the final death toll — if it is ever able to be counted — will be unbelievable. A number of Texan staff members have close ties to New Orleans: Childhood memories of places now submerged in water; displaced relatives and friends, some of whom we are still waiting to hear from. We at the Texan support all of those affected by this hurricane and urge everyone to donate their time or money to the recovery and rebuilding effort. GET INVOLVED: American Red Cross of Central Texas 512 - 928-4271 mail@centex.redcross.org THE FIRING LINE _ Supporting the Chief Your writer, Ruth Liao, in her story about the NCAA ban on Native American mascots (or symbols like Chief llliniwek at the University of Illinois), should have taken some effort to get a quote from someone other than an anti-Chief representa­ tive. That person's comment that the university is split 50-50 on this issue is absolutely not true. Seventy-five to 80 percent of people asked support the Chief, and using that figure I'm being generous to the anti-Chief faction. In fact, in a vote last spring, the student body voted 3-to-1 to retain the Chief as the honored symbol of the University of Illinois. When the general public was asked to weigh in on this issue a few years ago (and hundreds of thousands did), the support for the Chief was overwhelming. Martha K. Yeakel Arthur, Illinois Not point in blaming I disagree with Chris Jones'asser­ tion that "Iraq has taught us a hard lesson." For all his pandering to some non-partisan, lofty middle-crowd on the Iraq war, he has failed to provide an adequate analysis on the matter of assigning responsibility. There is no question that both liberals and conservatives sup­ ported U.S. military action in Iraq. However, assigning blame to any one political grouping is counter­ productive and symptomatic of a weak national political resolve. If anyone is to blame for our "failure" in Iraq, perhaps it is the American people as a whole for having unrealistic expectations of salvaging such a depraved country. Whoever thought that post-war Iraq was going to be a cakewalk under­ estimated the depth of the Middle Eastern swamp. This underestima­ tion has only set our nation up for the prospect of failure. In Iraq, we have been dealing with fanatical adherents to one of the most violent religions on the planet. A protracted terrorist-gue- rilla war is the least that we should have anticipated. But this shouldn't mean that we should have steered dear of Iraq or that we should steer clear of the swamp altogether. Economics, an increasingly inter­ connected and interdependent world and our founding principles will lock our country into years of fighting an insurgency in Iraq, as well as inevitable future wars against other rogue states. The world of today is darker than the procrastinating world of the Clinton years. The world of tomorrow will be even darker. There can be no failure in confronting the inevitable. Brian Bodine UT alumnus A big Mooov-ln thanks I want to thank the UT faculty, staff, the entire Division of Housing and Food Service and the University Residence Hall Association of all the efforts during Mooov-ln. This out- of-classroom interaction is a value- added component of the learning environment here at the University. We would particularly like to thank our Faculty Fellows for taking the time to volunteer for Mooov-ln during this busy time of year. As always, we appreciate their com­ mitment to our residents and the students of the University. We in the Division of Housing and Food Service would also like to invite all faculty members to join our Faculty Fellows Program. This is another fun and rewarding oppor­ tunity for faculty-student interac­ tion. Faculty Fellows meet with a team of student Resident Assistants to create opportunities for resi­ dents to interact with faculty in a casual setting, helping students to become more comfortable in their relationships with faculty.

Lai Trafficking thrives in U.S. By Jordan Buckley Daily Texan Guest Columnist Human enslavement is alive and well in the land of the free. "Slavery should have been abolished with the emancipa­ tion proclamation, but it wasn't. Now it just goes by a new name," said Lt. Bill Rule of the Collier County Sheriff's Office in Florida. Indeed, when kidnapped Africans first began to invol­ untarily subsidize the profits of white men in this country more than three centuries ago "slavery" was the favored term to describe their forced labor. Today, the same phenomenon of coerced work is more commonly referred to as "human traffick­ ing." While most Americans can identify and describe slavery, few can articulate the meaning of human trafficking. Rule, one of several members of a South Florida task force charged to combat human traf­ ficking, defines it as "a very nice way to say slavery." Regrettably, slavery's new title masks the grim reality that worker enslave­ ment never ended. Slavery — in particular, slavery within U.S. borders — has always been a component of our economy; it's every bit American as apple pie. Although largely outside of the public consciousness, slav­ ery in the United States is big business. Devastatingly, busi­ ness is good. that Historians report the largest coerced migration of Africans into the United States occurred between 1798 and 1808. Approximately 200,000 people "H um an enslavement will not be taken seriously in this country if the idea of challenging widespread poverty remains ta b o o " were forcibly displaced and enslaved during that decade. But in 2000, a CIA report esti­ mated that as many as 50,000 people are "trafficked" into our country every year. So who is at the forefront of today's abolitionist movement? Where are our Harriet Tubmans, John Browns and Denmark Veseys? Enter of Immokalee Workers, a com­ munity group led by Mexican, Guatemalan and Haitian farm workers in Immokalee, Fla. the Coalition The CIW has uncovered, investigated and assisted in the prosecution of five major slav­ ery rings operating in Florida's agricultural fields since 1997. More than 1,100 captive people have been liberated through the CIW's efforts. In 2003, three members from the CIW were presented the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for their work, marking the first time the presti­ gious award has been bestowed upon activists the United States. living in However, none of the recipi­ ents were bom in the United States. Instead, they hail from Guatemala and Mexico, as do more than three-quarters of farm workers in the United States. Their presence in the United States can often be attributed to their status as economic refugees fleeing the ominous paralysis of poverty back home, many act­ ing only as a last resort survival technique for the well-being of their families. Poverty is a tremendous vul­ nerability. By venturing north and courageously abandoning the comfort of family and com­ munity for the possibility of giv­ ing them a better life, thousands every year become susceptible to enslavement. Poverty and slavery were fortuitously linked at a widely attended event on campus last semester, though the connection went unannounced. During interactive their Hunger Banquet, members of Oxfam-UT invited attendees to pretend to be Romeo Ramirez, a 24-year-old tomato picker in South Florida. Participants were told that Ramirez works 10-12 hours a day, receives no overtime pay, no benefits, has no right to organize and no sick days, earning about $7,500 annually. They were not told, however, that in 2001, as part of a covert CIW-led opera­ tion, Ramirez infiltrated a slave camp in Lake Placid, Fla. After gathering adequate evi­ dence, he escaped to inform gov­ ernment officials of the unthink­ able scenes he had witnessed inside. Consequent testimony culminated in the emancipation of the more than 700 people who had been forced to work there at gunpoint. When aisked why human enslavement persists in the agri­ culture industry, Coalition mem­ bers are quick to clarify that it is not a case of several bad apples; rather, it's systemic. Gerardo Reyes Chavez, a five- year member of the Coalition, explains, "The everyday real­ ity of the agricultural system is what allows slavery to flour­ ish. If there were no sweatshops there would be no slavery." Indeed, the very status quo of farm labor in the United States is so egregious that it provides the fertile conditions necessary for slavery to easily sprout. In the United States, slavery is illegal and poverty is not. Slavery seems inconceivable and repulsive, poverty is not. It must be understood, however, that slavery is nothing more than the ugliest form of pov­ erty. The wretched assignment of governments then is to gauge the limits of reasonable misery (or define "acceptable poverty") and enforce them. Human enslavement will not be taken seriously in this coun­ try if the idea of challenging widespread poverty remains taboo. We reside in a culture that shrugs off the significance of permanent impoverishment, acting as if that were a perfectly fine type of suffering. So long as that's the case, the rise and persistence of slavery should surprise no one. Buckley is a sociology and Spanish senior. Doggett works for education By Lloyd D oggett Daily Texan Guest Columnist My Fellow Texas Longhorns, Welcome back to another exciting year at the University of Texas. Every August, my thoughts turn to the 40 Acres and the thousands of students who are filling up the class­ rooms and gathering around the West Mall. The University of Texas has been an important part of my life almost since birth. I grew up in the shadow of the Tower and earned my first real paycheck as a middle-school student wash­ ing dishes and running errands for the Botany Department. Later, as an undergradu­ ate in the School of Business and then as a Law School stu­ dent, I met some of the finest people anywhere — including my wife, Libby. I developed my interest in public policy at the University, where I served as Student Government President. I hope your experience at the I strongly believe that all students should be able to get all o f the education for which they are willing to work. University will be equally ful­ filling. You are fortunate to be attending one of the best uni­ versities in the world and liv­ ing in one of the finest cities anywhere. Please know that I am here to work constructively on mat­ ters of importance to the UT community. From tax relief for teaching assistants to improv­ ing student financial assistance, I have served as an advocate for the concerns of students, faculty and staff. I have also actively promoted a balanced budget, protecting Social Security, environmental conservation and policies that encourage economic growth and job creation. Regardless of your career plans, government affects you. I hope that as a student, you will choose to get involved with government and public service in our community. There are a wide range of community ser­ vice opportunities and philo­ sophically diverse political orga­ nizations, both on campus and in the community, with which you can get involved. 1 now represent a district that stretches one county at a time over 350 miles from UT to UTPA with district offices in Austin and McAllen and my congres­ sional office in Washington. All three offices provide year- round internship opportunities for students who have an inter­ est in government and want to learn about the inner work­ ings of a congressional office. Internships should be coordinat­ ed through the office in which you wish to work. It is a great source of pride that many of my permanent staff are University of Texas graduates. As the Congressman of and for the University, I invite you to visit my Web site at wwzv. house.gov/doggett where you can find helpful information, includ­ ing student financial assistance information. I strongly believe that all stu­ dents should be able to get all of the education for which they are willing to work.

Cam pus Safety co-director Elliott Reep said the recent crime event in West Campus convinced the agency to look more closely at the safety of the residential area during a meeting Monday. "[The murder] increased the awareness that we need to take immediate action, but this has been a work-in-progress for a long time now," said Reep. "We realize we can't stop things like this from happening, but we can help students better prepare themselves for them ." M em bers of the agency brought up areas in need of improvement as well as new ideas for residents' safety. "The Student Governm ent is very, very interested in the safety and security of prop­ erty in the West Campus area," said William Pieper, a crime prevention specialist with the UT Police Department. "W e're more than willing to provide them with any type of input that we may have."

Ideas included fixing lights at bus stops and sidewalks and designating well-lit paths for students to walk safely. The agency also suggested a safety packet to be distributed at stu­ dent orientation sessions and urban self-defense classes as part áf crime prevention. More frequent police patrol and coordinating SUREWALK, an on-campus program that pro­ vides students with an escort when walking around at night, will also be included. "The focus should be on any­ where people are," Pieper said. "But as UTPD, our primary focus is the campus itself." Reep called the meeting a "first step" in developing a strategy of what needs to be done. "The next step will be involve­ student recruiting ment. We w ant people all over West Campus to send us com­ ments, places they think need improvement, anything," said Reep. "The main thing we want right now is participa­ tion. We have to help students help protect them selves." Scientists find way to let mice live longer "[l]t is important to be cautious about whether the same results can be seen in humans since mice are not as complex." Kevin Rosenblatt, assistant professor of pathology he said. "The Klotho protein acts to block the insulin intracellular pathway by binding to its own Klotho receptor on the cell mem­ brane." Kuro-O said. The fact that insulin resistance is increased is a symptom of diabet­ ics, but no mice have developed diabetes presently, Kuro-O said. The protein causes a mild form of insulin resistance, which means a large amount of Klotho would be needed to induce diabetes in the mice, he said. The project is funded by the National Institutes of Health and has an annual budget of about $400,000. tors leading to death. Rosenblatt said the mice can survive toxins that would nor­ mally kill other mice. "The group of mice without the gene died in about eight weeks suffering from diseases resulting from aging while the group of mice with the gene lived to about three years and were robust until the end," The protein they used could be included in medicine fo r people By Q ia n q ia n L ia n g Daily Texan Staff Scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have discovered a protein that prolongs life in mice by increasing insulin resistance. Lower amounts of insulin helps . prevent age-related diseases, such as osteoporosis and neurodegen- erative diseases. The protein was named "Klotho" after a Greek fate who controlled the lifespan of humans. The focus of the study was to create a synthetic hormone that mimics the Klotho hormone because it is difficult to pro­ duce in large quantities, said Makoto Kuro-O, the head of the research team. "In the future, Klotho could be included in medicine for age- related disease prevention or pos­ sibly even reverse the effects of an age-related disease after early onset," said Kevin Rosenblatt, assistant professor of pathol­ ogy at UT Southwestern Medical Center, "However, it is impor­ tant to be cautious about whether the same results can be seen in humans since mice are not as complex." The important aspect of Klotho is not that it can prevent aging, but that the hormone actually causes a resilience to age-related diseas­ es. The mutated mice with higher levels of Klotho show resistance to atherosclerosis and oxidated stress, which are all common fac­ UT BRIEFS Murder trial for ex-student delayed until October A case involving a UT graduate student who allegedly murdered his piano professor in April 2004 has been delayed again and will go to trial in October instead of this week. Jackson Ngai's attorney filed a motion for continuance because four of the defense's fact witnesses from Hawaii could not be in Austin for the trial this week. The case was delayed once in July 2004 when a state psychiatrist declared him incompetent to stand trial. He was moved to the North Texas State Hospital in Vernon until another state psychiatrist declared his competency regained in October 2004. Jury selection will begin Oct. 13 and the trial is set for Oct. 17. — Jimmie Collins UT appoints Population Research Center director The University of Texas Population Research Center has a new direc­ tor, sociology professor Mark D. Hayward. For the last 13 years at Pennsylvania State University, Hayward has served on multiple advisory boards and was most recently the director of the univer­ sity's Center on Population Health and Aging. "The Research Center is one of the best in the country and is involved in very innovative research areas such as social influences on health over the course of a lifespan, how religion is connected to well-being and how education institutions affect ways people transition into adulthood," Hayward said. The Population Research Center at UT has faculty from a wide variety of departments including sociology, economics, anthropology and geog­ raphy. The Center focuses on health disparities, religion and family life, and transitions into adulthood. The center is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the aca­ demic office for the University and some colleges within the University. — Qianqian Liang UT-Lockheed Martin bid team makes push for Los Alamos UT System officials completed the next step of the bid on the Los Alamos National Laboratory on Tuesday, giving an oral presentation in front of a government-appointed source evaluation board. Both the UT-Lockheed Martin alliance and the UC-Bechtel team presented management proposals to the board, the second part of the bid. The first was a written proposal submitted July 19. Most of the names remain confi­ dential, but UT System spokesman Michael Warden confirmed that for­ mer U.S. Ambassador Paul Robinson, president of the Sandia Corporation, would be director should the UT team be selected. UT currently provides peer-review services for the Sandia National Laboratories. Warden would not release other names because the nominees are still holding onto other jobs and are under confidential agreements with the UT-Lockheed alliance.

It has stood for peace. Cindy Sheehan, m other of a soldier w ho died in Iraq J j y U i f T d«V I * I fill U 1 group meets with Sheehan From p a g e l A public figures such as the Rev. A1 Sharpton and actor Martin Sheen. The student group University Democrats the “Bring joined the Troops Home Now" effort Monday, one mile from President George W. Bush's vacation resi­ dence. The entire group of protest­ ers will leave today on a three-bus tour of about 60 cities to hold ral­ lies until they reach Washington D.C. "It's remarkable that in a 27- dav period Crawford has stood for something other than war. It has stood for peace," Sheehan said. Sheehan is Gaelic for peace. Since Aug. 6, Sheehan camped in a ditch down the road from Bush's Crawford ranch. She said she wants to ask him for what noble cause did her son die. Sheehan's son Casey, 24, died in Iraq on April 4,2004. Sheehan said she would not leave until Bush met with her or until he left his five-week vaca­ tion to go back to Washington, where she would follow and continue her effort. Bush has already left. What originally began as an attempt to have a single conversa­ tion with the president has turned into a nationwide anti-war move­ ment after Bush said that he would not talk to Sheehan because he met with her once before in 2004. On Monday, the Sheehan wore a T-shirt that read, "What Would Jesus Bomb?" She spent most of the day in a private trailer away from the crowd, only coming out for brief periods. Instead of continuing to camp outside, she sleeps at the local sheriff's station for security purposes. "In a way, I'm glad he did not come out to meet with me," Sheehan said. "If he had met with me on the first day, then this grass­ roots movement for peace would not have started, and we would not have thousands of people involved. Crawford resident Fred Mattlage donated his land to accommodate the growing support, one mile away from Bush's ranch. Sheehan said the only place county authori­ ties would allow them to gather was in the ditches. The new camp­ site is called Camp Casey II. "There is no way we could have had all those people on the side of the road," Sheehan said. "I never would have thought there would be so many people here. I'm not that imaginative." Anti-war activists arrive at Camp Casey daily to show their support. Some take a day-trip, while many spend days and weeks on the side of the road in temperatures reaching above 100 degrees. Tally marks on Anne Wright's tag count the number of days she spent volunteering at Camp Casey. Wright, a former US military offi­ cer who spent 29 years in the Army and Army Reserves and 16 years as a U.S. diplomat, said she has camped from the first night. "[It's] what you do for peace," Wright said. "[Camp Casey] has turned into a little city' that devel­ oped in 24 days." According to Wright, about 200 counter-protesters camped across the street from Camp Casey. By Monday, the opposite side of the street facing Camp Casey II was clear. "It's odd that people would come out and protest that we want to speak to the president to end the war," Wright said. "We hope that the president of the United States will talk to the opposition and tell us why he keeps calling this war a 'noble cause.'" Wright said both sides were respectful, peaceful and nonvio­ lent. Cody Camacho, an Iraq war veteran, celebrated his one-year anniversary of returning from Iraq Monday at Camp Casey II. He heard of Sheehan's efforts through the anti-war group Veterans for Peace and Military Families Speak Out. He wears his army uniform with his name tag and unit patch ripped off. "I lost my identity and person­ ality, and now I've got to find it again, before I wear a name tag," Camacho said. "I wear a Veterans for Peace button in the place of my unit patch." Camacho is on his 12th day at Camp Casey and said the counter-protesters cheer for him when he walks by. He said the days he has spent with Sheehan and the other protesters has helped him cope with the war better than 10 months of therapy would have. The University Democrats car- pooled from the University as the first student-organized group to meet with Sheehan. They met Sheehan briefly Monday. "We just want to let Cindy know that students are paying atten­ tion, and we support her," said University Democrats President Alex Hunt. Hunt began organizing the trip a week ago and did not expect more than a few people at first. As word spread and students began moving back, a group of about 30 members met Sheehan. "As a student, it is refreshing to see so many people rallying to bring attention to the irresponsi­ bility of the administration," Hunt said. The University Democrats were encouraged, along with volunteers and visitors, to par­ ticipate in a "March for Peace" rally Sept. 24 outside the White House until the president grants a meeting. Mayor makes exception for South Austin goat Wynn pardons owner at Tuesday ceremony for disobeying city code By Adrienne Lee Daily Texan Staff South Austin residents gathered around a fenced-off greenhouse Tuesday afternoon. The group gig­ gled as they peered over the barrier that enclosed a special neighbor. from horn to hoof in furry creams, browns and whites. He eats bread for almost every meal and likes to pose for the camera. He's covered His friends wore "Save Nik" T- shirts and commonly refer to him as "Nik the goat." After a local resident made a complaint about the animal's living situation, Nik's owner, Joel Munos, was facing city- code violations for the size and upkeep of Nik's space. Nik isn't the most active member of the neighborhood, but he's well- liked and well-known by most of his neighbors. Because of his popu­ lar status, Mayor Will Wynn par­ doned Nik's owner Tuesday from disobeying dty code, allowing Nik to remain in his front-yard home. "Code compliance is important for everyone, unless [breaking the code] has a positive effect," Wynn said. "And in this case, it's a neigh­ borhood pet." Greg Elliott | Daily Texan Staff M ayor Will W ynn feeds Nik the goat the ordinance papers that granted him a pardon at Joel M u n o s' house on West M ary Street Tuesday. Munos, who has had the goat since it was six months old, said he was "very happy and flattered" that the Wynn issued his pardon and thinks the neighbors, and Nik, felt the same way. "He's happy, and he just chills," Munos said. "This is his home. This is what he knows." As the crowd dwindled and Nik had time to relax in his space, he knelt and gave a kind goat nicker to his fans. Following an interfaith prayer service Sunday morning, Cindy Sheehan places a rose on her son's memorial cross. The Rev. Al Sharpton accompanied her.

Craig Bland | Daily Texan Staff Venues getting a fresh start before ban Smoking inside public facilities will become illegal on Sept. 1 By Adrienne Lee Daily Texan Staff In preparation for a city-wide smoking ban which takes effect Thursday, Austin volunteers gathered to deep clean down­ town club Tambaleo on Tuesday morning. As a result, the club went smoke-free two days ear­ lier than needed. The sm oking ordinance, which passed by margin of 2 percent in the May election, affects all of the city's clubs, bars, restaurants and other estab­ lishments. Since the ban was already approved, the volunteer group was primarily focused on approaching the ordinance in the most positive way, said "Even smokers don't like stale sm oke odor." Brandi Clark, founder of Austin Eco Network Brandi Clark, founder of Austin Eco Network and event coor­ dinator. The volunteers represented a broad group of locals who tried to help clubs during the transi­ tion period and make the move to a smoke-free Austin a "posi­ tive experience," said Clark. "Even smokers don't like stale smoke odor," she said. General manager for Habitat Suites Hotel, Natalie Marquis, provided the cleaning machines and Tuesday. its Web site, According Habitat Suites is an ecologically and environmentally conscious hotel in Austin. products to Marquis explained that the air purifiers removed dust and smoke particles, which fell to the floor and could be swept away. Under her direction, the volunteers cleaned the air, the club's surfaces and the furni­ ture. As sweat rolled down her forehead, Marquis enthusiasti­ cally said that "heat is the best cleaner." The moist 94-degree heat helps extract odors and particles from furniture, mak­ ing it easier to steam clean the smoke away, she said. The group began in the morn­ ing and anticipated finishing in time for Tambaleo's clean, smoke-free night. Co-owner Chad Mize said neither he or his business partner were "sold" on the theory that the smoking ordinance will affect business and were excited for the "nice change of pace," he said. "I think that one of the big­ gest complaints is working in an environment that smells like smoke," he said. With the intensive cleaning effort from a group of volun­ teers, Mize said he wanted to ban smoking in order to pre­ serve the fresh smell and feel of the club. to the Directly right of Tambaleo's front door is a glass frame on the wall that holds a bold "Smoking Permitted" sign. The sign was removed once the clean­ ing day ended and replaced with a "No Smoking" notice. Over the next few weeks, Clark said she and the other volunteers will clean 13 other clubs which have signed up for cleaning, continuing Thursday with the Saxon Pub.

A b u t "y o u n g ," e x p e ri­ leads the w ay as enced duo Selvin Young officially joins Vince Young in the backfield. Louisiana-Lafayette is Young's first opponent since breaking his ankle against Arkansas in the second gam e of 2004, but he and Texas coach M ack Brown feel he's ready to return. "I'm in the best shape I've ever been in ," Young said. "I'v e w orked out hard in the sum m er before, but never like this. I've never felt like this." Aside from lining up at run­ ning back, Young w ill return punts along with Aaron Ross. Ram onee Taylor and Tarell Brown should take care of kick returns.

File Photo Tucker back to school Ragin Cajuns deal with aftermath o f Hurricane Katrina By Alex Blair Daily Texan Staff The devastation w rought by Hurricane Katrina on the Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast comes to Darrell K Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The Louisiana-Lafayette football team practiced Tuesday, only a day after Katrina reduced much of coastal Mississippi and Louisiana to ruins and flooded as much as 80 percent of New Orleans. Many football players and staff had fam­ ily and friends directly in the path of the storm. "M ost of the players' families were able to evacuate," Louisiana- Lafayette head coach Rickey Bustle said. "The biggest thing is having their homes down there." About 20 players are from the New Orleans area, Bustle said. Hurricane Katrina made land­ fall early M onday morning, almost com pletely destroying small towns in Mississippi and Alabama. Katrina spared New Orleans a direct hit that would have completely inundated the below-sea-level city. Nevertheless, a levee did break and floodwaters in New Orleans are rising. Katrina was one of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the United States, pushing in front of it a storm surge up to 20 feet high with winds up to 140 mph. With the death toll expected to rise into the triple digits and damages in excess of $26 billion, football is the last thing on the minds of many in Louisiana. "It's hard to think about any­ thing, period," said Matt Hebbert, an assistant sports information director for Louisiana-Lafayette. "Sometimes you get wrapped up in your shell ... you get caught up in yourself ... I'm almost in Hurricane continues on page 5B Texas FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN Thompson prepared to lead OU offense Aggies' McNeal has full confidence from head coach Franchione By William Wilkerson Daily Texan Staff Mobility was not exactly one of the strengths that helped for­ mer Oklahoma quarterback Jason White win the Heisman Trophy back in 2003. Yet thanks to the wealth of talent surrounding him, White's elusive­ ness out of the backfield was never a glaring concern for the Sooners. Insert starting quarterback Paul Thompson under center and fans in Norman should enjoy the athleticism of a dual-threat quar­ terback for the first time in Bob Stoops' seven-year tenure. "Paul can improvise and scram­ ble and gives us a lot of options with the quarterback run-pass plays," Stoops said. "H e gives us a new dimension that we haven't had since w e've been here." Thom pson, 6-foot-4-inch a right-hander, stayed consistent throughout the offseason to beat out highly-touted Rhett Bomar and earn the spot in Oklahoma's season opener against Texas Christian on Saturday. In the Sooners' three public scrimmages, Thompson was 41- for-73 for 453 yards and two touch­ downs. He also did not throw any interceptions. Bomar, the nation's top high school quarterback in 2004, was 30-for-61 for 359 yards with two touchdowns. But he also threw five interceptions. The athleticism of Thompson likely has the Sooners moving away from the shotgun formation they grew accustomed to with White. Oklahoma will blend the I- formation with the shotgun and other alignments to exploit the talents not only of Thompson but also last year's Heisman runner- up Adrian Peterson. "You never stay on the same path," Stoops said. "W e look for what fits what we do and what our talent is. But we are not going to the triple option." In 14 career games, Thompson has completed 31-of-47 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns. In 2003, he rushed for 183 yards and reached the end zone three times. Franchione has the ultimate confidence in Reggie McNeal The confidence Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione has in quarterback Reggie McNeal rivals that of any other in the country. "I trust Reggie so much with the football that I'm not afraid to call four vertical calls on the one-yard line because I know he'll take care of it," Franchione said. "H e won't take a sack if he sees the guy com­ ing at all. If he doesn't see him, he still may make the guy miss." Some of this self-assurance Franchione has for McNeal likely stems from a game last season in a tough road environment against Oklahoma State. In a 36-20 victory over the No. 15 Cowboys, McNeal threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores to propel the Aggies to an important conference victory. Big 12 continues on page 2B Texas forw artd P. J. Tucker grabs a rebound during a Texas gam e last season as team m ate LaMarcus A ld ridg e jum ps for the ball. Craig Bland | Daiiy Texan Staff Ineligible forw ard comes back with new outlook on life By Ben Cutrell Daily Texan Staff P.J. Tucker grew up as the big man on campus, and his prodigious basketball talent carried him wherever he went. But when the Texas basketball star stumbled, with his basket­ ball career stripped away by academic ineligibility, Tucker had to adapt. Now he's back, reinvented during a lengthy offseason of trials and heavy course loads, with a story of hope and renewal and a new perspective on being a student-athlete. "You take everything you have for granted until the best thing in your life is taken away from you," said Tucker, who missed the final 14 games of last season after being ruled ineligi­ ble in January. "Basketball has been everything for me that I ever wanted to do. Once it got taken away from me, it gave me a chance to see life outside of basketball and what else I wanted to do with my life. It was a blessing in disguise." Tucker, a gifted basketball player since he was a boy growing up in Raleigh, N.C., at a local Boys and Girls club, went from being Texas' lead­ ing scorer and rebounder to its most notorious cheerleader. Tucker wasn't surprised. His bad habits and approach to school, built up over a life­ time, put him behind in his classes, and he knew it could catch up to him. "Every kid gets it in his mind that, 'I play sports, and they'll find a way for me to play,"' Tucker said.

Tucker fields questions dur­ ing his press conference on Tuesday. From page 1B time for something to happen. I think it was a good time." It didn't come at a good time for Texas' season. The Longhorns ¡ailing out of the top 25 suffered belt'll r,. , • v, A -i round exit in the NLAA Tournament. Tucker, watching at home in Austin dur­ ing the Longhorns' tournament loss to Nevada, struggled with guilt and shame. "I felt like I hadn't given [the team] my all," Tucker said. "That's a bad feeling w he.. c couldn't hv ip your teammates when they needed you. "I couldn't apologize enough. I promised I was coming back and going to make it right." For several days following the announcem ent of his situation, Tucker didn't want to accept the blame O nce he took responsibil­ ity for his plight, Tucker need­ ed help finding his way out. In stepped Randa Ryan. "I couldn't apologize enough. I promised I was com ing back and go in g to make it right." P. J. Tucker, Texas basketball forw ard After Tucker w as ruled ineli­ gible, Ryan, an associate athletic director for student services, took control of the entire men's bas­ ketball academic program. And she took Tucker under her wing, focusing on positive reinforce­ ment of Tucker's natural intel­ ligence and his academic progress during the spring and both sum­ mer school sessions. "[Ryan] gives love that [shows] yéu that she cares," Tucker said. "And once you have people who care about you like that, you can't disappoint them. "I doubted m yself a little at the beginning. 1 didn't know if I could do it. 1 had never done it before. I was like 'What am I going to do? Am I going to step up to the plate and do it, or am I going to shy away and stick my tail between my legs and sit down?"' Texas head coach Rick Barnes stayed involved throughout the process with weekly reports from Ryan on Tucker's progress. Barnes said he and Tucker grew clos­ er from the situation. But more importantly, the program's aca­ demic plan has a new poster child, encouraging Tucker's teammates to hit the books like never before. "[Tucker] felt like he let us all down," Barnes said. "H e did. But I feel like I let him down. I just look now that we have this program in place, and it's a model aca­ demic program. [Ryan] took over the program. This season w e are going to move practice back and get our academic stuff done dur­ ing the day. That was her idea." Barnes isn't worried about Tucker on the basketball floor. The time away from the game also gave Tucker a chance to improve his skills. Plus he should have more than enough incentive to take advantage of every second of competition on the court. "He'll have to handle [taunts] next year on the road," Barnes said. "But that's a good tiling. I know how he'll respond to that." Tucker isn't worried about fall­ ing back into his bad study habits. He's a changed man, he says. A man ready to pick up his dream where he left off. "We didn't need to have a party when I found out [I was back]," Tucker said. "The real party is when we start practice." Football: Freshmen backs to play soon From page IB die as tackles Rodrique Wright and Frank Okam will rotate with Larry Dibbles to stay fresh. Behind them will be outside linebackers D rew Kelson and Rashad Bobino, who won the starting jobs and will join senior Aaron H arris on the second level. "B obino brings a very physi­ cal aspect," H arris --aid. "H e's going to m ake sure that you know h e's in the ballgam e. 1 like that about him ." Fresh start Freshmen jam aal Charles and Henry M elton are listed as the second- and third-string running backs behind Young, but both players could see playing time Saturday and over the course of the season. Taylor likely w ill play in the backfield when Young is resting, but both C harles and M elton give Taylor a chance to continue lining up at a receiver position as well. "We feel like both of these voung m en have a chance to be great," Brown said. "These guys need to jump ou t there and be ready to go on Saturday." Both coach es and players agree that M elton, at 6-foot-3- inches and 270 pounds, is tough to bring down in short-yard- age situations and is valuable around the goalline. "I have hit him a couple of tim es," said defensive end Brian Robison, who is listed at 267 pounds. "H e is a big load. I have never hit anyone like that before." to get him 20 touches. "I think over half of the time we will be in the [shotgun]," Davis said. "The zone-reads, the quarter­ back counters, those will all be the same, but there will be a few dif­ ferent things in the passing game that will hopefully take advantage of those 'gun-runs.'" Brown added that downfield passing and explosive plays were a point of em phasis during the preseason. "In the passing game, we can stretch the field more vertically," he said. "That is som ething we are still not getting done as much as we would like to, but w e feel like we do have a chance." Offensive outlook Control factor O ffensive coord inator Greg Davis said that fans can expect to see a lot o f sim ilarities between this y e a r's offense and last y e ar's version. W hile Young to receive as isn 't expected many carries per game as Cedric Benson in 2004, Davis still looks Along with explosive plays, Brown stressed the im portance of ball control in fall camp.

Many would have liked to have seen a longer and more per­ sonal set from Swedish innovators In Flames, but lead singer Anders Friden assured The Daily Texan in a brief interview that they "will be back with the new album, and we'll get to pull from more than just our last three albums" in the near future. Shadows Fall proved to be more stunning than Brian Fair's dreadlocks, while San Antonio ambassadors Mudvayne, who perform ed w ithout m ake­ up, adhered to their roots with cuts from their 2000 debut "L.D. 50," including "Death Blooms," "Nothing to Gein" and their set closer, "D ig." little While the hair metal of Guns 'N ' Roses and the alternative prowess of Stone Temple Pilots may have had influ­ ence over the younger artists on the bill, Velvet Revolver managed the to Amphitheater with almost their entire "Contraband" debut.

Sunday, at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, the monumental metal tour Ozzfest, proved that it is most certainly not broken, or even cracking for that matter. The tour, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, began in the same manner as any other Ozzfest, with tattoo artists, the opportunity to kick a man in the face with a soc­ cer ball for $5 and a slew of the fin­ est in hardcore and heavy metal. Each year, one phenomenal band on the brink of superstardom makes you wake up and get to the venue by 9 a.m. That band this year was undoubtedly Trivium. four-piece Clad in supportive Iron Maiden gear and hoisting a Maiden flag, this incredibly young and preci­ sion-oriented from Orlando, Fla. displayed jolting time changes, harmonizing guitar struc­ tures and a tandem vocal front that banged with the same author­ ity great '80s thrash bands such as Slayer and Metallica possessed. A Dozen Furies, Texas natives and winners of last year's "Battle for Ozzfest," have progressed tre­ mendously in the span of a year, and judging from their enthralling set, the group may be poised for huge numbers come the release of their debut, "A Concept From Fire" on Sept. 13. Each Ozzfest, however, one band will be immediately forgot­ ten (see: Magna-Fi, Switched and half of 2003's second stage). I regret to announce that Wicked Wisdom will be that band this year. This female-fronted quintet paled in comparison to the other alt-female band Arch Enemy, not to mention past acts like Kittie and Otep. Mastadon was bar-none the most impressive math-metal band to hit Ozzfest since Meshuggah, f t W O A J L C t M E M A S ÓCs ’6PÉN CAPfl6fiED DA = K SCfiTO E iD o C AVAILABLE * Pass / Discount Ticket Restrictions Apply D IG « D IG IT A L S O U N D B A R G A IN S H O W S IN ( ) Wednesday - Discount Shows AH Day Excluding / Films ETRO PO LITAN ST A D IU M 14 800-FANDANGQ 368» t-35 S.
