The majority of Democratic representatives were missing w hen the House convened, causing many to w onder if they had followed the lead of their Senate counterparts. All but one of the Democratic Senate caucus fled M onday to Albuquerque, N.M., to avoid being in Senate chambers when Gov. Rick Perry called a sec­ ond special session. After enough members finally appeared Tuesday, the House quickly passed the same m ap amended by Rep. Kent Grusendorf, R-Arlington, that had caused contention among some Senate Republicans. O ther legislation quickly followed. One bill appropriated money from the Texas Transportation Fund to child health services, and another corrected a bill that would have left some school districts w ithout money in August. Democrats cried foul, and raged over a suspen­ sion of House rules, which allowed four bills to go in and out of the House floor in one day. One representative stood on the floor to admit that he had purposefully tried to break quorum to pre­ vent the congressional map from passing, but after hearing about the other bills, came in for himself. "I have never seen anything like this before.... we have done today my friends, w hat you are going to regret," said Rep. Paul Moreno, D-El Paso. "We have passed bills ... in something like five minutes. You m ust know that this is not democracy." At a press conference after the House adjourned for a week, Democrat representatives expressed their disbelief. "It is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary/' said Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston. "This is about might makes rig h t.' But Republicans believed they had done nothing wrong. "[Democrats] are just trying to slow down the leg­ islative process," said Bob Richter, spokesman for Speaker Tom Craddick, adding that the bills passed had the same language of bills debated during the regular session and first special session. While Democrats maintained Republicans were steamrolling opposition to the bills so they could attend a legislative conference in W ashington Tuesday night, Richter said it was because of obvi­ ous difficulty in maintaining quorum. "We know the Democratic strategy w as to obstruct, and we wanted to get some business See LEGE, page 2 By Delaney Hall Daily Texan Staff ALBUQUERQUE \ M — The runaway Senate Democrats are trying to continue work a> usual, despite being hundreds of miles away from the Texas Capitol. As senators gathered in the soaring lobbv of the Pyram id Marriott in north Albuquerque, Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, joked that he'd rushed so quickly from the Capitol to the airport he'd forgotten to pack enough pairs of socks. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, lamented the fact that he had failed to pack his cowboy boots. "They were just too big and bulky. We had to get something quick and go," he said The sudden flight of the so- called Texas 11 occurred Monday afternoon, shortly after Republican Gov. Rick Perry announced that a second special session would be convened to continue discussion of redhtncting. Though rumors abound that the senators had long been preparing for the New Mexico ¡aunt, Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, said the decision was largely a spontaneous one. "I can tell you, m y decision to have the plane at the tarmac was pure gut instinct," she said, refer­ ring to the two privately ch artered pianes that c arn et thi senators west across the border Monday. Van de Putte said while the Democrats hope to return to Austin as soon as possible, thev are willing to wait out the 30 days, allowing the second special session to expire. "We w ould love nothing more than to return to our homes and to return to the Capitol to debate truly important issues," she said. "But w e're adam ant that if it takes 30 days, we will stay."

Their move to New Yudof to announce restructuring plans “ I don’t know that [restruct­ uring] is happening now any more than usual.” Monty Jones, UT System spokesman hear UT regents ideas to change system f ramework freeze ordered rendered vacant partially by the in hiring November and allow' him to use the extra money to create new positions, such as a vice chancel­ lor of research. By Lilly Rockwell Daily Texan Staff UT System Chancellor Mark Yudof will explain to the Board of Regents next week his cost- cutting plans to restructure the System administration. System spokesm an Monty Jones said Yudof's streamlining plan could eliminate positions Jones said because of cuts insti­ tuted by the Texas Legislature to help balance the state budget, the UT System and several individ­ ual UT campuses have turned to reducing administrative costs as an answ'er to the cuts. "Budget cuts are certainly one motive [for the restructuring]," Jones said. He also said consoli­ dating responsibility will dimin­ ish bureaucratic confusion and increase efficiency. State university administra­ tive costs, especially salaries, have received more attention than usual this year from the Legislature. Rep. David Swinford, R- Ajmarillo, authored a bill this ses­ sion asking the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to into w hether hefty administrative operations costs and salaries — traditionally six figures — were necessary. look Jones said reorganizing the administration is sometimes at the whim of a campus president, not a result of budget cuts. "1 don't know that [restruc­ turing] is happening any more now than usual," Jones said. UT President Larrv Faulkner, for instance, initiated an admin­ istrative reorganization at the University starting in 2000, before the University's recent budget crisis. Faulkner told The Daily Texan in its July 16 edition that his massive reorganization plan included creating a new posi- See UT SYSTEM, page 2 Volunteers take part in smallpox drill to test city’s, hospitals’ preparedness Two phases test response with emergency rooms, mass vaccinations By Robert Inks „ Daily Texan Staff As part of an emergency pre­ paredness drill Tuesday, 120 mock "patients" checked them­ selves into hospitals around Austin reporting symptoms of smallpox.

New Riverside shuttle marks rising demand Lakeshore route will serve Pleasant Valley. East Riverside locations By Ben Heath Daily Texan Staff With a giant new development opening its gates next fall, Capital Metro and UT Parking and Transportation Services will be creating a new bus route running on Pleasant Valley. The Lakeshore route is the latest addition to the list of UT shuttles serving the Riverside area, a neighborhood that, in the past decade, has seen an explosion in student population. "More than one-third of our shuttle service is going south," said Bob Harkins, director of Parking and Transportation. He said his department has esti­ mated that at least 13,(XXI students live in the area. Harkins said a shuttle bus route could make off- cam pus housing, such as the Riverside develop­ ments, more attractive. But a significant density' of students must already exist in an area before devel­ opers can attract shuttles. "If vou're going to build a development with onlv 200 students in mind, forget it said Roberto Gonzalez, Capital Metro transportation planner. "Establishing a new route all bv itself is very’ expen­ sive. Adding vehicles to a route or modifying a route ... that's a different story'." Though a small development could be enough to spur a minor change in a route, such as the addition of a single stop, it w’ould not be enough to w’arrant an entirely new' bus route, he added. Gonzalez cited Melrose apartments on Crossing Place as an example. The developers had a vision that Crossing Place wras going to eventually be a strong student housing corridor, he said. However, Melrose's first development in the area only includ­ ed 600 to 800 beds, which did not w arrant an exten­ sion of service at first.

Lotto’s $5 million unclaimed campuswatch State’s hospitals will get jackpot to cover unreimbursed bills By Sarah Kleiner Daily Texan Staff As the nudmght deadline passed \londav night, Kenneth Ford locked the doors of the Texas claims lo tte ry Com m ission department, and $5 million dollars quietly went unclaimed. Ford and Jesse Ireland, lottery specialists, volunteered to be the tw o of six com m ission employ­ e e s to keep vigil until the 180-day deadline to claim the jackpot that expired at midnight. They said they volunteered because over­ time is "hard to com e by," espe­ cially within a state agency. "The best 1 can say is, you know, I don't have a family, he doesn't have a family; so I don't have to be anywhere until late," Ireland said. "N o obligations. No children." This jackpot was the fourth to go unclaimed in the 11-year his­ tory of Lotto Texas, said Krishna Tirloni, spokesw om an for the Texas Lottery Commission and another of the six em p loyees who waited for the deadline to pass. The largest unclaimed jack­ pot w as worth $13 million. "It happens once in a blue m oon," Ford said. Tirloni said there have been 476 tickets sold since the inception of Lotto Texas that have matched all six numbers in the drawing. The last time the jackpot went unclaimed, Tirloni said the office received a call from a man in Dallas who said he had the w in­ ning ticket and was on his way to Austin. "W e said, 'Well vou're going to have to drive very fa s t,'" Tirloni said, adding that the man never showed up at the claims department. Jackpot w inners have to bring the ticket in person to the claims department before midnight in order to receive the prize, said Reagan Greer, executive director of the commission. Once a ticket is brought in, Ford said the 18-digit number on the back of the ticket must be run through their system to validate it, a process that takes only a few minutes. Jackpot winners must fill out a claim form and show valid iden­ tification before the ticket can be verified. So Ford said the winner would have to arrive with enough time to fill out the single­ page form. The unclaimed money for this jackpot will be transferred into the Tertiary Care Medical Program, w hich compensates state trauma centers for unreimbursed indi­ gent health care, said Peggy Belcher, spokesw om an for the Texas Department of Health. T h e UT Medical Branch received its limit of $40 million in unclaim ed lottery prize money during the last biennium, which en d s Aug. 31, Belcher said. .Because of changes in the appro­ priations bill during the last reg­ ular legislative session, UTM B will only receive $20 million for the upcoming biennium, w hich begins Sept. 1. T h e winning Lotto Texas tick­ et, purchased at a D iam ond in San Sh am rock gas station A ntonio, was worth a little more than $3 million because the w in­ ner selected the "cash value op tion." U nder this option, the winner receives a one-time lump sum equivalent to the "net present v alu e" of the jackpot, which is generally about half of the value of the jackpot, Tirloni said. T h e jackpot for tonight's draw ­ ing is $47 million, currently the larg est jackpot in the nation, G reer said. Campus Watch, compiled daily by UT police officer Sgt. William Van Horn, details crimes and incidents reported to or observed by UT police officers. These are the highlights from the previous week. License plate stolen, then used in aggravated robbery Theft: The rear license plate w as stolen from a 1994 Honda while it w as parked in Brazos Garage at 210 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. After the theft, the license plate was put on a vehicle that was used in an aggravated robbery that occurred off-cam ­ pus. Loss value: $5. Occurred betw een 9 p.m. Saturday and 12:38 p.m. Tuesday. Thief won’t be caught because of confidentiality Theft: Three packets contain­ ing a questionnaire, participant's certification and $50 cash were stolen from a first-floor research suite in the Development Office Building. The identity of the pos­ sible thief could not be released to police because of the research d ep artm en t's com m itm ent to research confidentiality. Loss value: $150. Occurred between 11:05 a.m. and 11:20 a.m. Friday. Dorm intruder just wanted to apologize to resident Criminal Trespass: A non-UT subject was stopped in the first floor Jacinto lobby of San Residence Hall when he attempt­ ed to go to the third floor to apol­ ogize to a female whom he said he might have insulted two years ago. Subject did not know her name but only knew she might have lived in the dorm two years ago. Subject was issued a written crim inal trespass warning. Occurred at 1 p.m. Monday. Drills for smallpox test Austin’s preparedness SMALLPOX, FROM 1 Lindy M cG innis, an em er­ gency planner w ith the city of Austin Emergency Management Office, said the test had two phases. The volunteers checking into hospitals was Phase I. "We have several 'victim' vol­ unteers checking into the hospital with sym ptom s of sm allpox," M cGinnis said. "W e're testing emergency units' ability to identi­ fy the symptoms, do all the right tests and deal with all the issues." Volunteers who went to the hospitals were coached before­ hand and given a variety of exposure levels. Som e even had stage makeup applied to their faces to simulate lesions. "You have to know the dis­ ease and know the what the tvpe of rash looks like," said Jennifer Murray, a nursing graduate stu­ dent volunteer who helped with the makeup. "If you screw it up, it'll just look like chicken pox." M urray said the volunteers used whatever they had around to make the patients look as real­ istic as possible. "T hey looked really gross," she said. McGinnis said hospital staff were kept in the dark as much as possible to keep the test realistic. "We did not talk to the media much, because if hospital workers know and have it planned out, we won't learn anything," she said. Phase II had volunteers get­ ting mock vaccinations in three sites in Austin, including on campus, to simulate the Center for Disease Control's response to an outbreak. Beth Bushey, vaccination clin­ ic coordinator for the University, said a nationwide immunization effort would immediately be put in motion if even one case of smallpox was confirmed in the United States. "Because smallpox is not a naturally occurring virus, the assumption would be that it is a terrorist attack," Bushey said. "If it's confirmed by the CDC, they will initiate a mass vaccination." Bushey said that 24 sites in Austin would undertake the task of vaccinating 1.4 million people, with the University's site taking about 100,000. Phase II tested how selected vaccination sites handled that many people. "W e're taking 50 people and seeing how long it takes to vacci­ nate them, then extrapolating that out to a large num ber of people," she said. Marilyn Patillo, a nursing pro­ fessor whose disaster nursing class w as part of the University's mock vaccination team, said that from what she'd seen, the day ran smoothly. "It's been great so far," she said. This newspaper was printed with pride by The Daily Texan and Texas Student Publications.

Danny Grover Additional housing prompted new bus route Democratic Senators still working in New Mexico SHUTTLE, FROM 1 "N othing existed north of A lbertsons. N othing existed east of A lbertsons," Gonzalez said. "N one of these eight com­ plexes existed five years ago." Melrose still filled the develop­ ment and established its own shuttle to transport students to campus. Mike Boone, the Austin- area regional director for the apartments, said Austin is one of the few places in the nation where students may take advan­ tage of such a service. "A developer's not going to stop because there's not a shut­ tle bus route," Boone said. A Crossing Place route was added several years later. Capital M etro encourages developers to locate their devel­ opments close to one another, making it easier for a single stop to service severai different com ­ plexes, G onzalez said. Changes to the shuttle sys­ tem can also be recommended through a nu m ber of other avenues. Harkins said a Capital Metro representative w orks in his office, and they both review com m unications com ­ plaints regarding shuttle opera­ tions.

"T h e thing that came up from cou nts ... was that ridership dow n in the Riverside area was getting to the point where we either put a new bus on [or estab­ lish a new route]," Harkins said. "T h ere's a point in time where you throw too much service on one route, and the buses are liter­ ally right behind each other." W hen the department learned that a new 600-bed development w as being added to the already- dense area, it was necessary to create a new route, he added.

Mike Krusee, "[The bills] R-Round Rock. went through the committee process. T h e public had a chance to listen. We followed the rules today." But D em ocrat representatives questioned the rush. After Perry called another special session Monday, the Flouse had 30 days to pass the legislation. They also worried about breaking legisla­ tive procedure. "The institution and the prece­ dent and the historical long-term view doesn't matter," said Rep. Scott Hochberg, D-Houston. "That's what we saw here today." On the other side of the hall, Republican senators were call­ ing on their Democratic col­ leagues to com e home. "N o Texas problem has ever been solved in New Mexico," said Sen. Todd Staples, R- Palestine. "C om e home, join us at the table, and help us draw a fair map." Republican senators admitted there was nothing they could do if D em ocrats stayed in N ew M exico, but implored them to contribute to the process and be responsible to their constituents. "N obody in this state that I know of campaigned on the proposition that, 'If you elect m e, I w on't show up,"' said Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan. Since congressional redistrict- ing was officially back in the S en ate's Tuesday, court R epublicans and D em ocrats alike mulled the possible out­ com e of the deadlock. and "I would hope that [Lt. Gov. D avid Dewhurst] the speaker would hold their posi­ tion, because if they don't, we basically get the worst of both w orlds as Republicans," said Rep. Bill Keffer, R-Dallas. "I'd like to think that if we're going to go to this much trouble and this much expense, we'll hold the line and stay true to our position." ^ a rra n g e m e n ts | in plants, I fresh flowers, balloons !

New M exico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, joined the senators at the hotel, wel­ com ing them to New M exico and issuing stem words to Perry and U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who initiated the push for redistricting in Texas. Though he said he had not yet heard from Perry, Richardson said he would urge him to stop the redistricting effort. "W hat you have is a potential abuse of pow er," R ichardson said. "You cannot change rules unilaterally. The rules for redis­ tricting are that they happen every 10 years. It's based on numbers, ethnicity, representa­ tion, and that is the law. To all-of- a-sudden interject and change the rules is wrong." Richardson has alerted state police to be on the ready should they be needed to defend the sen­ ators from Texas troopers who may come to apprehend them. The Texas senators face some criticism from hom e and are eager to prove they're continu­ ing to w ork in New Mexico, Sen. Elliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, said. "I am here M onday 8 a.m. to Friday 5 p.m .," Shapleigh said. "I'm working on the business I would have done had I been in El Paso. I've got a laptop. I've got a fast Internet hook-up. And I'm contacting everyone I w ould've contacted had I stayed. I hope to use this time to get work done — a lot of that work is in [New MexicoJ anyway." Barrientos, D-Austin, reiterated that the senators will stay busy. "W e have to be very careful, because we're not here on vaca­ tion," he said. "If we're seen going out to night spots, restau­ rants, casinos, playing golf: That's not why w e're here. As soon as some picture is taken, everyone will say, 'See they're just out there on a big junket." Barrientos said the senators will take the opportunity to meet w ith New Mexico officials dur­ ing their time in Albuquerque. "W e're checking out som e of their institutions like their public schools and a few dropout cen­ ters in," I'm that Barrientos said. interested Shapleigh, who works closely with New Mexico senators from southern districts, said that in addition to visiting some family property in Ruidoso and fishing, he would meet with New Mexico officials to discuss transportation, border issues and military bases in Texas and New Mexico. Richardson invited the sena­ tors to stay for as long as they need, but jokingly suggested the matter better be resolved within a month. Barrientos said he'd been in touch with Dem ocratic House counterparts, but that negotia­ tions had not begun with Republican senators or Dewhurst. "We want to allow time to let things cool, to give them time to think about what they're doing," Barrientos said. "W e'll see what happens from there."

But in some cases, streamlin­ ing is the salvation to campuses' financial and operating troubles. Science Center The president of the UT H ealth at Houston recently turned to the UT System for help consolidat­ ing administrative positions. "We have two people there several days a w eek helping to manage the health science cen­ ter," Jones said. "W e're searching for a new chief operating officer. W hen they hire a person to do that, it would simplify things." The chief operating officer for the H ealth Science C enter in H ou ston w ill becom e m ore responsible for the cen ter's day- to-day operations, Jones said. The Houston Chronicle report­ ed that the Health Science Center has been reorganizing since the RUBySB B Q 0 %, & £ S 2 mtivich 6 s 2 9 t h & G u a d a l u p e summer, and the reorganization has cost the center about 190 employees. A ccording docum ents to obtained by the Chronicle, the reorganization w as brought on by state budget cuts, Tropical Storm Allison, expensive con­ struction and excessive adm inis­ trative salaries coupled with lim­ ited responsibilities. But U T-A rlington interim President C harles Sorber said this is the exception rather than the rule. "D uring the process of budget cuts, which have not extended over two fiscal years* there has been some streamlining but noth­ ing severe or major," Sorber said. Sorber added that a hiring freeze has helped UT-Arlington avoid layoffs. "W e don't think we have a very fat adm inistration in the first place," he said. "Well, other than my physical girth."

All major c rodil WORLD BRIEFS Belgium changes war crimes law used against Bush, Blair BRUSSELS, Belgium — Belgium’s lower house approved a revision of a war crimes law Tuesday, removing provisions that were used to file complaints against President Bush over the Iraq war. Current law allows Belgium to prosecute war crimes suspects regardless of where the alleged offenses occurred or the nation­ ality of those involved. After it was used to lodge com­ plaints against Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in con­ nection with the war in Iraq, U.S. officials protested strongly and threatened to move NATO head­ quarters out of Belgium unless the law was scrapped. Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt's government has worked to revise the measure, hoping to have the new law in place by the weekend. The Chamber of Representatives approved the measure 89-3, paving the way for expected quick adoption by the Senate later this week and then enactment. Giuliani's crime consulting firm visits Mexico City MEXICO CITY — Rudolph Giuliani s consulting firm has handed over recommendations on fighting crime in Mexico City, Police Chief Marcelo Ebrard said Tuesday, but details will not be revealed until next week. Ebrard said some of the former New York City mayor’s recommen­ dations are already being imple­ mented. A group of private businessmen hired Giuliani’s company last year for $4.3 million to help the Mexir an capital match New York City’s success in cutting crime. Kidnappings, murders and rob­ beries are common here, as is police corruption. Giuliani earlier briefly toured some crime ridden neighbor­ hoods and met with city officials. The former New York City mayor has said Mexico City police need to be held accountable for their actions and that the city needs better statistics to track crime and determine problems. French Riviera under siege of forest fires for 2nd day SAINTE-MAXIME, France — Forest fires swept through parts of the ritzy French Riviera for a second day Tuesday, devastating scenic woods and forcing thou­ sands to be evacuated. At least . four people have been killed. Authorities speculated that the blazes — some 30 broke out nearly simultaneously on Monday — were caused by arson. Molotov cocktails were found in the region, local officials said. The mayor of Roquebrune-Sur- Argens, Luc Jousse, called the fires “a new form of terrorism," although authorities were still investigating and had not definitely determined the cause. Firefighters met with some suc­ cess battling the fires near the western portion of the French Riviera, but at least one re-erupted Tuesday east of Draguignan, about ^0 miles from the fashionable esort of Cannes, which was untouched. Juarez police offer reward for information on murders MEXICO CITY — Police in the border city of Juarez have announced a $7,100 reward for information leading to the arrest of those who killed three women whose bodies were found last week. Police spokesman Juan Salazar said Tuesday by telephone that police officers had contributed money for the reward fund follow­ ing the murder of a 9-year-old boy in May. It was not used in that case because the killer was quickly captured. Instead, officers decided to apply the reward to the case of three women whose remains were found on July 23, only a day after the fed­ eral government announced a multi-agency plan to improve secu­ rity in the city notorious for the murder of young women. Some 258 women have been killed in Ciudad Juarez over the past dec ade and 93 of those fit nto a pattern of young women who were sexually abused, killed and dumped in the desert. Students riot after school canceled in Ivory Coast ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Thousands of college students — some brandishing knives, iron bars and sticks — noted in Abidjan on Tuesday, demanding compensation for a iost school year canceled by Ivory Coast's civilwar. Police in helmets and carrying shields attempted to control riot­ ers in the lagoon-side economic capital by firing AK-47 machine guns in the air and launching canisters of tear gas. The youths vandalized and loot­ ed several stores in the downtown area. The crowd topped 2,000. Most of the students were from Bouake, Ivory Coast’s second- largest city, some 200 miles north of Abidjan and the strong­ hold of rebels who control the northern half of the country.

"Twenty-eight blank pages are now considered substantial evi­ dence to proclaim the guilt of a country that has been a true friend and partner of the United States for over 60 years," the for­ eign m inister said. The Saudis have complained that thev cannot respond to a report they cannot see. But Bush made plain he has no intention of declassifying the material. "I absolutely have no qualms at all, because there's an ongoing investigation into the 9-11 attacks, and we don't want to compro­ mise that investigation," Bush said at a news conference with Israeli Prim e M inister Ariel Sharon in the Rose Garden. "If people are being investigat­ ed, it doesn't make sense for us to let them know who they are," Bush told reporters before meet­ ing with al-Faisal. Moreover, Bush said, "d eclas­ sification of that part of a 900- page d ocu m en t would reveal sources and m ethods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror. ... It would help the enem y, if thev knew our sources and m ethods." The top Republican senator on the Sept. 11 inquiry, Richard Shelby, said Sunday 95 percent of the classified pages could be released w ithout jeopardizing national security'. Bush ignored a reporter's question Tuesday on Shelby's assessment. But he did leave the door open to declassifying portions of the report at some point. "Perhaps at some point in time, down the road, after the investi­ gations are fully complete, and if it doesn't jeopardize our national security, perhaps we can declassi­ fy" the material, he said. The dispute centers on 28 pages of redacted material in the con­ gressional p anel's report. The information is widely believed to center on Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Osama bin Laden and 15 of the 19 hijackers. Saudi Arabia has vehemently denied supporting the hijackers. The Saudi government, some members of Congress and at least two presidential candidates have sought declassification of the sec­ tion. Sen. John Kerry; D-Mass., durmg a campaign stop Tuesday, called on Bush to make public the section at issue. Possible Saddam tape addresses sons deaths U.S. forces continue search for Saddam throughout By D’Arcy Doran Associated Pressa TIKRIT, Iraq — In a new audio­ tape attributed Tuesday to Saddam Hussein, a calm voice acknowl­ edged the deaths of the ousted dic­ tator's two sores and called them martyrs, as U.S. forces searched for clues to Saddam's whereabouts in docum ents and photo albums seized in raids in his hometown. If confirmed, the tape — the third attributed to Saddam this month — could put to rest any remaining doubts among Iraqis that O dai and Qusai Hussein were killed in a firelight with U.S. soldiers in the northern city of Mosul July 22. The audiotape w as broadcast Tuesday on the Arab satellite sta­ tion Al-Arabiya, five days after the U.S. military released grisly photos of the sons' bloodied bod­ ies in an effort to convince Iraqis that the sons were dead and to for an anti- w eaken support American insurgency. U.S. forces on Tuesday interro­ in gated 12 suspects arrested Saddam 's hometown, Tikrit, and examined identity cards, bound notebooks, Baath Partv records and other documents found in their hom es to try to fill in the pic­ ture of his desperate flight. In Baghdad, meanwhile, Iraq's U.S.-appointed Governing Council of 25 prominent Iraqis appointed a nine-member presidency’, failing to agree on a single leader for the beginnings of a new' Iraqi govern­ ment. In the nine-minute audiotape, a voice resembling Saddam's said he w as glad Odai and Qusai Hussein were killed because such a death "is the hope of every' fighter." "E ven if Saddam Hussein has 100 sons other than Odai and Qusai, Saddam Hussein would offer them the sam e path," said the calm, even voice. "T h at is the hope of every fighter for God's sake, as another group of noble souls of the martyrs has ascended to their creator." The referred tape also to Mustafa, Q usai's teenage -on, who was killed in the gunfight in M osul." ( )dai, Qusai, and Mustafa died in jihad field ... in a brave bat­ tle with the enemy," the voice said. "T h e aggression arm ies sur­ rounding them with all kinds of weapons and ground troops were not able to conquer them until they used their warplanes on the house that they were in," the speaker said. The CIA w as reviewing the new m essage to determine if it was authentic, a U.S. intelligence official said. The speaker sound­ ed like the voice in other record­ ings attributed to Saddam, with the same vocabulary7 and tone. U.S. commanders, meanwhile, said the docum ents seized in Tikrit gave clues to Saddam 's flight from American forces, who have reported at least two near- misses in the past week. Lt. Col. Steve Russell, com ­ Infantry m ander of the 22nd Regim ent's 1st Battalion, led simultaneous pre-dawn raids on several hom es in the heart of Saddam 's hometown, 120 miles north of Baghdad. Soldiers blasted open doors with shotguns, leading away dazed occupants in blind­ folds and throwing photographs and documents into the street.

Floods waters ravage Southeast Asia UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS EMPLOYEES... - Make the smart move to Humana Siddharth Darshan Kumar Associated Press MEHSANA, India — Rescuers and volunteers carry the body of a flood victim from the Khari River in Lakhvad village near Mehsana Tuesday. More than 12 people were feared killed when a vehicle carrying them was washed away as it attempted to cross the swollen river Monday. Firefighters managed to pull out eight bodies after several hours of search. Monsoon rains triggered landslides, snapped electricity cables and inundated a wide swath of South Asia, pushing the region's death toll from this year’s rainy season past 750, officials said. NATION BRIEFS Poll: Court decision causing backlash on gay rights WASHINGTON — Public opinion has been gradually shifting toward more acceptance of gay rights, but a new poll suggests a backlash after the Supreme Court decision striking down a Texas law banning gay sex. A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll released this week shows people about evenly divided on whether homosexual relations should be legal. In the poll, taken Friday through Sunday, 48 percent said such relations should be legal and 46 percent said they shouldn't. That's a significant change from early May, when 60 percent said that such activity should be legal and 35 percent said it should not. Another poll, taken by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in late June and early July found that opposition to gay legal rights had been declining in recent years. Pentagon axes plan to bet on future terrorist activity WASHINGTON — The Pentagon ' on Tuesday abandoned a plan to establish a futures market that would have allowed traders to prof­ it by correctly predicting assassina­ tions and terrorist strikes in the Middle East. Facing outraged Democratic sen ators, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said he learned of the program in the newspaper while heading to a Senate Foreign Relations hearing on Iraq. - The little-publicized Pentagon plan envisioned a potential futures trading market in which specula­ tors would wager with one another on the Internet on the likelihood of various economic or political events in the Middle East, includ­ ing terrorist attacks or assassina­ tions. A Web site promoting the plan already is available and regis­ tration of traders was to begin Friday. When the plan was disclosed Monday by Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, the Pentagon defended it as a way to gain intelligence about potential terrorists’ plans. Wyden called it “a federal betting parlor on atrocities and terrorism." Dorgan described it as “unbeliev­ ably stupid." Survey: Employers giving out smaller pay increases NEW YORK — U.S. employers this year and next are handing out the smallest pay raises since at least the mid-1970s — well below the 4 percent-plus increases rou tine before the economy lost its footing. Companies surveyed in two stud­ ies said they have budgeted raises averaging 3.3 percent to 3.5 per­ cent this year and plan about the same next year. The belt-tightening reflects rising worker healthcare bills and pen­ sion costs and a weak economy that has made it difficult for com­ panies to raise prices for their products, according to a survey to be released Wednesday by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.

Health care for everyone its citizens. it Morally. deplorable greatest industrial­ ized nation in the history o f the world cannot find some way to provide health care cover­ age for low er wages, and m ore and more Am ericans are em ployed for their know ledge and skills rather than their labor. I believe this has and will change the nature of employ ment. In an effort to cut costs, com ­ panies, especially sm aller ones, hire fewer full-time em ployees entitled to health insurance and instead hire an increasing num ­ ber of freelance or part-tim e em ployees not entitled to any health-care coverage. G one are the days w hen em ployees remain wi th one com pany for a lifetim e. That means that many of us find ou r­ selves in extended uninsured periods either "betw een jobs," or working freelance or part- time. These m arked changes in how Americans w ork speak to the need for a new Am erican health care system. And, if done right, national health care can be a wi n/ wi n situation. To do this, we should create a national health insurance pro­ gram that keeps private com pa­ nies the health-care providers and shifts financing of the health care over to the govern­ ment. Every Am erican citizen would then have the right to proper health care. By creating a national health insurance w e would encourage and further entrepreneurship and innovation by providing A m erican entrepreneurs and small com panies — the back­ bone of A m erica's econom ic success — a safety net that encourages them to take more risks and be more innovative. It would also enhance A m erica's em p loym ent com petitiveness am ong highly skilled im m i­ grants who may consider m ov­ ing elsew here. That certainly m eans keeping capitol and innovation within our boarders. George W. Bush and his fel­ low Republican majority have a great opportunity here. If they so choose, they could change the way Americans live and work, all by changing how health-care is paid for. The question is: W hy are they letting such an opportu­ nity pass by? L e v in e is a c o m m u n ic a tio n s tu d ie s g ra d u a te s tu d e n t. Gabriel Levine Daily Texan Columnist 1 doubt George W. Bush has ever in his life had to worry about health-care coverage for him self or his family. But such is not the case for m any A m ericans: Right now, nearly 43 m illion A m ericans lack health insurance coverage. And with an increasing num ber of us losing jobs and not tinding work in this dow n-turned econ­ omy, this num ber is bound to grow. Morally, I find it deplorable that the greatest industrialized nation in the world cannot find a way to provide health-care coverage for its citizens. Many other industrialized nations do. National health insurance, or universal health care, would greatly benefit the uninsured and invigorate our econom y in the long run. The way it is now, our health­ care system is inadequate for the needs of the new American worker.

Often, the question is not whether the media can show a photograph or video image, the question is if they should show' the image at all. It turns into a Shakespearean analogy': To show or not to show? It is a concept the news media had to contem plate recently in regards to photographs of Udai and Qusai Hussein, Saddam 's sons, w'ho w'ere killed in a gun bat­ tle July 22 in Mosul, in northern Iraq. Members of The Associated Press, Reuters and Al-Jazeera were allowed to photograph and video­ tape the two bodies The images are moderately dis­ turbing. Each body contains more than 20 bullets, according to CNN. In the photographs, lacerations and covered up bullet wounds are visible. Wounds from the autopsy are noticeable in the videos. The photographs are available for gen­ eral viewing on the CNN Web site at no cost. The purpose of showing these images is to assure the American public that these men are dead. Apparently, the government does not trust its word to be good enough for the citizens anymore — visual proof must also be provided. The bodies, however, were mod­ ified before reporters were given a to photograph. Some chance w'ounds to the head were covered, and the faces had a waxy appear­ ance. Facial hair was shaved to make the brothers look more like they did when thev wen' alive. Due to the adaptations, some cit­ izens might question whether these photos really are of Saddam's sons. The video footage is also being shown during prime hours, not just late at night. Even though the network may ca m a disclaimer before the images are showrn, it does not prevent young children from seeing the footage. Five year olds shouldn't have access to images of dead bodies. Media outlets must question it these gruesome images advance the story. Earlier this summer, the Daily chose not to run photographs from Ann McGowan's trial that con­ tained images of her dead baby'. The editor-in-chief decided the photos did not advance the story'. The images, despite providing immediate shock value, wen1 ade­ quately described in the article about the trial. A great outcry occurred in the United States when pictures of American POWs were showrt on Al-Jazeera during Operation Iraqi Freedojn. Imagine the shock and outrage that would occur if Al- Jazeera showed images of Jenna and Barbara Bush, our leader's twin daughters, obliterated by a firestorm of bullets. Turn the tables, and U.S. officials and citizens are not too keen on showing the bodies of those who perished during battle. the s tu d e n t n e w s p a p e r o f th e Th e Iow a S ta te D a ily is th e s tu d e n t U n iv e rs ity o f Florida. n e w s p a p e r o f Iow a S ta te U nive rsity. Page 4 T u h D a i l y T k \ \\ W ednesday, July 30, 2003 VIEWPOINT Segregating schools New York is home to the nation's first homosexual high school, which will begin tutoring 100 students starting in September. Backed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Harvey Milk High School is named after the openly gay San Francisco politician who was assassinated in 1978. Milk High is expected to gulp more than $3 million in taxpayers' money to renovate the school so it can handle 170 students by September 2004. Advocates say the East Village school, an expansion of a program in operation since 1984, will afford gays, lesbians and transgendered students an opportunity to learn free from the kind of discrimination and harassment they often face in regular public schools. "Everybody feels that it's a good idea because some of the kids who are gav and lesbian have been constantly harassed and beaten in other schools," Bloomberg said. Opponents don't see the logic behind funding a public school exclusively for homosexuals. "Is there a different way way to teach homosexuals?" said Mike Long, state conservative party chairman. "Is there gay math? This is wrong." While an attempt to foster a discrimination-free envi­ ronment for homosexuals is laudable, \ lilk High is turning back the clock. The earlier homosexual students are exposed to diversity, the better prepared they will be for taking on an American society in which they are a minori­ ty. Proponents of the school have said it’s a model for the country and the world to follow. But segregating homo­ sexuals from the rest of society only fosters an environment of ignorance, which leads to crippling stereotypes and labels. Harvey Milk is known for breaking down the "closet homosexual" mystique. The Harvey Milk Institute lauds him for "successfully integrating people and politics across diverse boundaries." Creating an alternative high school strictly for homosexuals is contrary to M ilk's hard-fought ideals. By further segregating students, Milk High School only throws more mystique on homosexual culture and aug­ ments societal estrangement for its students.

His debut CD "O" was only just released in the United States but upon visiting the David Letterman show last month, Rice was asked to perform two songs. It was a rare request for someone with such little name recognition. According to Rice, when he plays live he does it differently every time. "All the time, I'm looking for the feeling that there's three people in the audience, and I'm talking straight them as opposed to 'HELLO EVERY­ BODY!'" said Rice. "That works fine with certain acts, but what we're doing is so personal." to The Irish singer-songwriter began his musical career in the band Jupiter, but when the band's record deal fell through, Rice opted for a solo career. So he set up shop in his house. He bought an eight- track recorder for $1,000 and ■MAX T H E A T R E The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum 1800 N.

Photo courtesy of Sacks Co. "I eventually recorded "O " in various rooms throughout his apartment and took those recordings to be mixed in a studio, but Rice didn't like the results, so he went back home. finished the record and had it mixed myself," Rice said. "We didn't think it was possible to mix the record with the little eight-track I had, but it turned out to be a good little machine." Rice has been compared to David Gray and Jeff Buckley, but on "O" he really has a style all his own. of stringed instruments gives "O" an expansive, theatrical quality. Rice's songs aren't written in a narrative style, they convey feel­ ings instead of stories. He has a broad vocal range and his delivery is as emotional as his lyrics are. His voice rises and falls from hopeful to melancholy and the strings in the background com plim ent his singing. Lisa Hannigan also supplies vocals on the record; sometimes she sings back up and sometimes, Jike on the track "Cold Water," she duets with Rice. Her deep, smoky voice is reminiscent of Fiona Apple and adds dimension to "O." The layout of tracks on the CD is is no pause unusual.

Many of the greatest basketball players of our time have played in its legendary street tourna­ ments, making its name synony­ mous with excellence. Enter "Across Street: The Soundtrack," which hopes to do the same thing for urban music that its namesake did for street basketball. 155th Boasting an eclectic blend of massive hip-hop stars like Mobb Deep with virtual unknowns like ..Buddy Klein, the soundtrack sets the backdrop for a scorching day at the park. The album has its fair share of highs and lows. Curiously, album highlights flow more freely from the newcomers than the veterans. "Only You," a bass-heavy, up-tempo love song by Moe Mansun and Tony Sunshine, launch the album and carry it much of the way. Tracks like "G et Ready" by Dead Prez and "Friday 'til Sunday" by Nazuruz provide the frantic, amplified arena anthems that basketball games are known for. The most notable aspect of the album is its surprising depth. For every gangster like Fat Joe, there is an equally conscious Talib Kweli. Artists like Jean G rae shine with their provoking lyrics and thoughtful language. All in all, "Across 155th Street: The Soundtrack" offers an in- depth perspective of the streets. Unlike many hip-hop albums, it replaces the one-dimensional stereotypes with honest reflec­ If the soundtrack is any tions. indication of the intensity o f Rucker Park, it's bound to be one hot summer. — Brittany Teal ros ng Place $400 Cash to You!

V a r i o i s A r t is t s ALBUM: “Vision: Live” L A B E L: Thirsty E ar Records ★ ★ ★ ★ * & The latest release from Thirsty Ear’s “Blue Series” doesn’t feature one of the labels brilliant and under-recog­ nized regulars (except, of course, bassist William Parker). And it certainly isn’t a radical fusion of electrónica and free jazz like some of the label’s previous releases. Instead, the latest “Blue Series” installment is a CD/DVD retrospective of Vision Fest 2002, New York City's most recognized avant-garde music festival. Nine tracks document the highlights of last years Vision Fest, which is funded in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. “Vision: Live” begins with the Albert Ayler “standard” “Truth is Marching In,” performed by Jemeel Moondoc, Roy Cambell, William Parker and Rashid Bakr. Collectively known as Muntu, this quartet sounds outstanding together and desperately needs to document their collective bril­ liance. Parker and Bakr are amazing in the way they push each other to new levels of emotion with the passing of each measure. “Visions," in addition to show­ casing some less frequently documented musicians, also serves as a true testament to the versatility of bassist Parker. Except for the duet performance mentioned above, Billy Bang's trio performance, and the Karen Borca Quartet, which features Coltrane-vet Reggie Workman on bass, Parker plays bass in every ensemble featured on the “Visions” CD. Whether with Matthew Shipp in a string trio, supporting old-timers Kidd Jordan and Fred Anderson in a dueling alto sax quartet or play­ ing the donso ngoni in support of Ellen Christi, Parker sounds superb, adjusting perfectly to the idiosyncrasies of his band- mates. Ellen Christi’s performance of “Synchronicity” is by far the highlight of this compilation. As a vocalist, Christi is indescrib­ able; backed by Rolf Strum on electric guitar, drummer Hamid Drake and Parker on the donso ngoni, Christi seems to be undergoing a nine-minute vocal exorcism. She screams, yeips, chirps, yodels, hollers and makes about every other sound imaginable (and some unimagin­ able) with her pitch-perfect voice. “Avantjazz is no longer mean­ ingful as a description of what we present nor is it how we wish to be seen,” said Patricia Nicholson Parker, coordinator of the festival. “A better description might be freedom music. For it is not limited by any particular tradi­ tion, but may in any instance uti­ lize any tradition. It is art with a most decidedly disciplined disregard for tradition.” — Jam es Taylor If y o u present y o u r student ID, w e l l g iv e y o u a gift certificate for lunch, a n d let us tell a n d show yo u w h y living at C ro s s in g Place may be right for y o u !
