Tests from St. David's Hospital on the night of the incident showed that fhe alleged victim, known as Jane Doe dunng the trial proceedings, had a blood alcohol content of .17, more than double the limit of legal intoxication. "A nything could have happened, and you might or might not remember it," Charles Craig, Bailey's attorney said to Doe. Bailey pled not guilty to both second-degree sex­ ual assault and improper sexua! activity with a per­ son in custody of a police officer Tuesday. The first charge carries a term of two years of probation to 20 years in prison, with maximum $10,000 fine.

Gov. Rick Perry' called a third special session Tuesday, shortly after the remaining 10 quorum- busting Democrats announced they would return to Texas, after spending 40 days in New Mexico. One week ago, Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, ended the stand-off when he returned to Texas, making a quorum in the Senate chambers possible. "This betrayal by a former member of the Texas 11 moves the battlefield," the "Texas 11 minus one" said in a statement. Sen. Judith Zaffarini, D-Laredo, said "If W hitmire is there ... we will return to the Senate too." Republicans were pleased that the battle w'as moving to the home front. "T h e people of Texas want the business of the Texas Senate to be done in Texas and not New M exico or W ashington," said Lt. Gov. D avid Dewhurst. Perry' has added seven topics other than redis- trichng to the call, most of them issues that died along with redistricting. But for the first time, he has added legislation that could move forward the dates of the state primary elections. Any new map has to pass approval from the Education code makes changing policy illegal without one-year notification period By Anjall Athavaley Daily Texan Staff An admissions policy that con­ siders race as a factor will not affect applicants who hope to enter UT- Austin any earlier than fall 2005, said Mike Godfrey, UT System vice chancellor and general counsel, on Tuesday. Godfrey issued the decision to UT-Austin administrators Monday out of concern that giving students less than a year's notice on policy changes would violate the Texas Education Code. The Board of Regents granted System components the freedom to consider race in admissions proce­ dures after the Suprem e Court upheld the use of affirmative action in university admissions in June. Since then, UT-Austin has been developing a new policy, which officials had hoped would go into effect by fail 2004. Section 51.805 of the Texas Education Code states that an insti­ tution must publish in its catalog a description of the factors consid­ ered in admissions “not one year later before the date that applica­ tions for admission are first consid­ ered " using the new process. is The statute am biguous, Godfrey said, because it states each institution must wait a year after it first adopts a new policy. UT-Austin officials believed they w ere not im plem enting a new policv, but rather amending an old one. that circum stances UT-Austin already has a list of special the O ffice of A dm issions considers when giving an applicant a person­ al achievem ent score. U nder a revised policy, race would be added to the list.

SG Representative Brent Perdue said he did not think that students would feel comfortable airing their grievances with UTPD Chief Jeffrey Van Slyke, a non-voting member of the committee, attending meetings. "President Faulkner created this committee out of a public outcry," Perdue said. "But it seems somewhat of a facade. I really think they need to make something that has more teeth, where they can be directly affecting the police departm ent."

Perdue recom m ended that the UTPD remove its internal complaint process and have an external committee review com­ plaints. "I think that's a good first step," Perdue said. Earlier, SG President Brian Haley said that the Student Bill of Rights is near completion and will be voted on by representa­ tives next week. If the bill is approved next Tuesday, it will then be subject to approval from the University and System adm inistration lawyers. Haley and SG Vice President Sly Majid will meet with Jim Vick, vice president for student affairs, and others to get feedback on the bill and then pass it to UT President Larry Faulkner for review. Haley said that SG will hold off from taking the bill to System adm inistrators until students have a chance to vote on it. Once the bill is approved and finalized, it could be spotlighted on the University's Web site. Haley also said that SG mem­ bers will introduce the final ver­ sion of the bill to campus organ­ izations.

The estimate by the General Funeral Services included deaths from the second half of August, after the record-breaking tempera­ tures of the first half of the month had abated, said company spokeswoman Isabelle Dubois- Costes. The bulk of the victims — many of them elderly — died during the height of the heat wave, which brought suffocating temperatures up to 104 degrees in a country where air conditioning is rare. Turkish peacekeepers may head to Iraq on condition BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq’s acting president on Tuesday called for Turkey to send up to 10,000 peacekeeping troops under a U.N. mandate, providing they deploy far from Kurdish territory. Entifadh Kanbar, spokesman for Ahmad Chalabi, the member of the Governing Council’s nine-mem­ ber presidency who is serving for the month of September, also said Chalabi had been invited by the Turkish government to pay “a very important visit." A Turkish force in Iraq is an extremely sensitive issue because of the large Kurdish population near the Turkish border, where some Kurdish rebels took refuge in the mountains after fighting a 15-year rebellion in Turkey. Argentina fails to pay off $2.9 billion IMF loan BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina defaulted on a $2.9 bil­ lion loan owed to the International Monetary Fund Tuesday, compli­ cating efforts to restore its stand­ ing with the international financial community. It was the second time this year the nation failed to make a pay­ ment to a multilateral lender. It also missed a deadline on a $681 million payment to the World Bank in January. The missed payment is not likely to immediately affect the economy but could further damage investor confidence at a time when the country has shown signs of begin­ ning to emerge from a financial crisis that began in 2001.

There were no claims of respon­ sibility, but the Islamic militant group Hamas, which has carried out most of the roughly 100 suicide bombings against Israelis over the last three years, had been expected to avenge Israel's attempt on the life of leader on Saturday. its spiritual Earlier Tuesday, Israeli troops in Hebron killed two Hamas mem­ bers — including the group's leader in the West Bank town — and a 12-year-old bystander, and blew up a seven-story apartment building where the militants were hiding out. The day's violence underscored the collapse of U.S.-backed peace efforts and came amid political uncertainty after the resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas. The first bombing hit about 6 p.m., as soldiers were waiting for rides home outside the Tsrifin army base near the Tel Aviv suburb of Rishon Letzion.

The deal is the largest publicly disclosed payout by a U.S. dio­ cese to settle molestation charges. Under the agreement, victims will receive awards ranging from $80,000 $300,000. Award am ounts will be decided by a mediator, based on the type of molestation, the duration of the abuse and the injury suffered. to Parents who filed law suits their children were claim ing abused will receive $20,000. The church also will provide for psychological counseling for victims for as long as they want it and will put some victims on advisory boards monitoring the abuse problem. Boston's new archbishop, Sean O'Malley, was in Washington at a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as the deal was struck but sat in on critical negoti­ ations over the weekend. "It's a good day for the archdio­ cese," said his spokesman, the Rev. C hristopher Coyne. "W e haven't had too many over the last couple of years, but this is one." The deal came about a month after the archdiocese put a $55 million offer on table.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said negligent secunty screening might have contributed to the deaths of 3,000 people in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the crash of a hijacked plane in Pennsylvania. The decision involved the cases of about 70 people injured or killed in the attacks. Following the ruling, court offi­ cials were preparing for a possible rush of lawsuits as early as this week as some people choose liti­ gation over the federal victims compensation fund. To receive a payout from the fund, families must agree not to sue airlines or other entities. American Airlines spokesman Todd Burke said the airline would appeal.

D a il y T e x a n Wednesday, September 10, 2003 VIEWPOINT Task Force proposals flawed The Enrollment Strategy Task Force, a 17-member com­ mittee appointed by UT President Larry Faulkner, presented 14 recommendations in its May Preliminary Report, aimed at improving the student-faculty ratio and graduation rates at the University- The final report is expected in October. Unfortunately, many of the Task Force's proposals are prob­ lematic and don't account for the what-if's of college life. The most significant proposal encourages the University to allow students no more than 10 long semesters, or five years, to complete a bachelor s degree. The cap would incon­ venience student who are unable to graduate "on time, because of the burden of part-time jobs to fund their college education. With tuition deregulation loom ing the number of students forced to work as well as take classes is likely to increase. Work-studv internships and participation in study abroad programs also limit the potential number of hours students can wield each semester. A student could continue their education at the University after 10 long semesters only with dean approval. The Task Force also recommended the University enact a policy forcing students to receive dean approval to change majors within a single school. Giving a dean the ability to prevent a student from changing majors within their school could place a students' career aspirations in the hands of a stranger and harasses students whose interests change dur­ ing their time at UT. No more red tape should stand in the way of graduation. At such a large university, getting an appointment to see some deans is a chore in itself. The task force also proposed giving priority registration to students taking heavier course loads and steering students to take more credit hours to remain eligible for honors pro­ grams and merit-based scholarships. Both of these proposals would unfairly penalize students who are unable to further pack their schedules. Quality work, not quantity, should determine merit. The University should not be seen as one great, b ig burnt- orange conveyor belt. Academic careers sometimes need to stop or slow down for unexpected reasons. While the com­ mittee's goal of maintaining an appropriate ratio between student enrollment and university resources is an admirable one, setting a maximum amount of time a student has to complete their degree is not the solution. The Enrollment Strategy Task Force ought to look at alter­ natives such as decreasing freshman enrollment and limiting transfers to keep the University population at bay. THE FIRING LINE Marriage as tinkertoys It’s people like Clark Smith who perpetuate this muddled percep­ tion of marriage so prevalent in religious society that compels couples to remain in loveless rela­ tionships. In his column, “Where have you gone, Daddy Robinson?” Smith falsely asserts that “mar­ riage remains the building block of our Christian society." This sort of knee-jerk Christian reaction to any discussion does nothing but raise emotions and eliminate logic. Yesterday family values were the building blocks of reli­ gious society, today it’s marriage. Will it become even more specific tomorrow? Will heterosexual wed­ dings become these socalled building blocks? I propose that faith has always and should always be the "building block” of any religious society. The author then attempts to explain a logical basis for discrimi­ nation of Rev. Gene Robinson by pointing to his divorce 15 years ago. At first Smith appeared to be making a good point, insinuating the reverend abandoned his fami­ ly and asserting that a bishop who can abandon his family could easily abandon his flock. On the heels of this argument follow the requisite list of tired statistics out lining the old Christian argument against divorce. To me, it’s sad that Smith actually believes peo­ ple should stay in relationships that don’t make them happy. Where are the statistics that show the ills of children raised in unhappy relationships, Mr. Smith? Fortunately, the common fanati­ cism of the marriage-or-nothing attitude is displayed in the article and completely refutes the aban­ donment argument when the author acknowledges the bishop was "a good post-divorce father for his daughters.” When will we realize that two happy parents raising children out­ side the narrow boundaries defined by Christian doctrine are better than a heterosexual couple forced together by their belief in an ideal that has never and will never apply to a large segment of the population'? Ryan Miller Biology senior that logic, or better yet, would call both divorce and dysfunction unfortunate symptoms of a deep­ er, individualized problem. Personally, I am tired of the pity party surrounding the D word. Even the children of “selfish” par­ ents sometimes grow to respect their parents’ emotional needs. Melissa Minor Classics senior 'Nerds Gone Wild* Having witched the first episode of Showtime’s reality series "Freshman Diaries," will some­ body please explain to me (with all of UT’s stringent new admis­ sions standards) how Showtime ended up with a group of under­ achievers who can best be described as “Nerds Gone Wild.” In the first installment, we’re introduced to a young female stu­ dent who is having trouble telling her overprotective father that she’d rather be a drama major than remain in her current curricu­ lum of computer science. Yet, our aspiring actress has no problem getting falling-down drunk in front of the camera and ranting patheti­ cally about her “tragic” dilemma. Call it a hunch, but I think dear old dad is going to get the mes­ sage. And if that wasn’t riveting enough for you, the show then cuts over to the misadventures of a young gay man who is per­ plexed because he can’t decide whether or not he wants to play “Marco-Polo” with a horny coed in the dorm swimming pool. Wow, talk about your “Who’s Who" — maybe on the next episode our friends at Showtime will spotlight something really hard-hitting like what happens when the kid with the learning disability tries to tap a keg. Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for diversity, but if UT is going to live up to its catchphrase “We’re Texas,” then Showtime better find some Longhorns of real interest, or the last words on this video diary are going to be “We’re Tools." Cory Davies Alumnus, 1997 Advertising Divorce can bring relief Clark Smith avoids stating out­ right that divorce causes “depres­ sion, abuse and poorer health," though that seems to be his pur pose in citing the Heritage Foundation research. But some­ one who grew up with an alcoholic mother or an abusive father, someone for whom divorce meant blessed relief from screaming hell, might be inclined to reverse SUBMIT A FIRING LINE Please e-mail your Firing Line letters to f1rtngline@clallytexanonllne.com Letters must be fewer than 250 words and should include your major and classification.

In the United States and around the world, the Iraq invasion w as preceded by peace protests of historic size. There is unquestionably a high level of enthusiasm for nonviolent solutions — it just needs to be focused and direct­ ed in order to accom plish som e­ thing substantial. O f course, supporters of mili­ tary action will argue, g rass­ roots peace vigils and sit-ins are not going to prevent A1 Q aeda from hijacking another air­ plane. And they're right, as far as that goes — but the nonvio­ lence m ovem ent has a greater potential. It's true that the maintenance of dem ocracy requires a certain level of force, if only to protect against aggressive invaders. But there is more than one kind of force. M oh an das G andhi dem on ­ strated in India in the 1940s that an oppressive regime could be brought dow n w ithout firing a shot.

These m ovem ents d em o n ­ strated that pow er can be w ield­ ed nonviolently, even against an arm ed enemy. The appropriate nonviolent response to Sept. 11, then, is to adapt the m ethods of G andhi, King, M an d ela and others, and apply them to the problem of terrorism. If that seems far-fetched, maybe it's because military solutions are the only ones that our gov­ ernm ent seriously. takes C on gress sp en d s m ore than $400 billion a year on our m ili­ tary, more than it sp en d s on everything else com bined. War is our No. 1 priority. In his speech on Sunday, President Bush announced that he w as requesting $87 billion for the reconstruction of Iraq, in addition to the phenom enal $4 billion a month that is already being spent. If we spent even a fraction of that am ount on find­ ing nonviolent solutions to ter­ rorism, I have no doubt that we could do it. The Peaceful Tom orrow s group is just the tip of the ice­ berg. They represent that we have the will to find nonviolent solutions to problem s that have traditionally been solved with guns. It's up to our leaders to set priorities that will give us the means. Edwards is a graduate student in journalism . Hi Jeremy Edwards Daily Texan Columnist On the second anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, I'm struck by two very different responses to the catastrophe. O ur country's official reac­ tion, as President Bush reminded the nation in his speech on Sunday night, has been over­ whelmingly military. We invaded and conquered both Afghanistan and Iraq, and w e support con­ tinuing occupations in both countries. We ratcheted our defense spending to unprece­ dented levels, and we continue to rattle our sw ords at countries like Syria, Iran and North Korea. But there h as also been a groundsw ell of energy and su p ­ port for the idea of non-military responses to terrorism. Notably, a New York-based group called Septem ber 11th Fam ilies for Peaceful Tomorrows h as been organizing the very people who were argu ab ly m ost directly affected by the attacks. Peaceful Tomorrows works, they say, "to keep our losses from being used as a justification for further vio­ lence and terror." The group recently released a book called "Turning O ur Grief Into Action For Peace" and is leading a vigil Thursday at the site where the World Trade Center used to stand.

Lessons of the Miguel Estrada incident By Ian Alexander Daily Texan G uest Columnist for M iguel E strada, a Bush appointee for the U.S. Court of A p p e als the D istrict of Colum bia Circuit, withdrew his nam e from con sid eration for the post Friday. Although the Democrats filibustered his con­ firmation and many cast doubt upon his position on key issues, they should all give thanks to M iguel Estrada for doing the right thing. When asked why he wanted the job, Estrada never gave a concrete answ er — m ost likely because he never asked for the job. The Bush ad m in istration approached the form er Justice D epartm ent ap p ellate law yer with the ap p oin tm en t to the D.C. Court of A ppeals two years ago, and of course he d id n 't refuse; the position is a proven training grou n d for Suprem e C ourt justices. But now Estrada realizes that he is just a paw n in B u sh 's court-packing schem e, and that the Republican party cares about d iv ersity on the bench about as m uch as they love the environment. The Bush adm inistration sees the nom ination of Estrada and other politically con serv ative minority judges as a great bargain. This battle highlights the problems of racial politics that pervade Washington. The assumption that the Republicans will pull in votes because Estrada is Hispanic is disgustingly flawed, but the Democrats aren 'tfree of guilt in this area, either. they pu ll Not only do the Republicans get more reactionaries on the bench, but in black and H ispanic votes. M aybe M iguel E strad a figu red out that the GOP only w anted him because he is H ispanic. It's possible that he figured this out in March, when White H ouse aides had to talk him out of w ithdraw ing his nomination. The R ep u blican s decry the D em ocratic filibuster, which finally prom pted E strada's with­ d raw al; yet the sam e tactics were used to an even greater degree by the GOP in years past. In 1997, Bill Clinton nom inated Jorge Rangel, a H ispanic law yer from Texas, to the sam e position. Rangel w as denied a hearing by the Republican-controlled Senate, as w as Enrique Moreno, another nominee to the sam e position in 1999. Som ehow , R epu blican s still say that the D em ocrats do not care for d iversity on the bench. This battle h igh ligh ts the problem s of racial politics that pervade Washington. The assum p­ tion that the R epublicans will pull in votes because Estrada is H ispanic is d isgu stin gly flawed, but the D em ocrats aren't free of guilt in this area, either. Both parties still look at minorities as huge, ignorant m asses who have no decision-m aking pow er other than looking at the color of skin of the person w hom they're vot­ ing for. Som etim es the only thing voters can find in com mon with a candidate is race, but it is not the norm that the parties w ould is. Dem ocrats need to realize that if H ispanics su p p o rt conservative to believe like it H ispanic candidates for office, the cause is conservatism , not race. The Republicans need to realize that just becau se they appoint black w om en to office, black voters dislike their poli­ cies, not their racial com posi­ tion. M inorities everyw here need to take a p ag e from M iguel E stra d a 's book — d o n 't be p aw n s to the parties. Take a stand on issu es that m atter to you, buck the stereotypes, vote for w ho you believe is qualified, no m atter what color. D on't let the p arties b elieve that they ap p ease an entire race with one nom ination. U n d erstan d that they think that w e're all the sam e — show them otherwise. Miguel Estrada deserves thanks and praise from all minorities and the Dem ocratic Party. He w as given the chance to assum e im m ense power, and he might have eventually achieved that position, but he opted out. He rejected the offer and walked aw ay with a clear conscience, leaving the devil to find other so u ls to buy and in d ivid u als everywhere with an em pow er­ ing exam ple.

BRIEFS Foreign students not allowed back into U.S. WASHINGTON — Nearly 200 people were turned away after trying to enter the country on student visas last month when their names didn’t show up in the government’s new database of foreign students, a Homeland Security Department official said. Asa Hutchinson, the depart­ ment's under secretary for border and transportation security, said border security officials contacted schools when a student's name did not appear on the foreign stu­ dent tracking system. If the school didn’t have the required immigra­ tion forms from the student, the student was refused entry. — Associated Press Vanderbilt University gets rid of athletic department NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt will eliminate its athletic depart­ ment in a major shakeup designed to curb the ills of big- time college athletics in the pro­ gram. Vanderbilt will continue playing intercollegiate sports, but the reor­ ganization merges the depart­ ments that control varsity and intramural athletics, putting sports under the central university admin­ istration, the school said Tuesday. “There is a wrong culture in ath­ letics, and I’m declaring war on it," Vanderbilt Chancellor Gordon Gee said at a news conference.

With the help of Goodwill, Gomez hopes to eventually become a pediatric nurse. Officials estimate that thou­ sands of Austin residents like Gomez need educational instruc­ tion offered by groups in the newlv formed l iteracy Coalition of Central Texas. The coalition was officially created Monday, which was International Literacy Day, by a network of more than 30 educa­ tional groups offering GED prepa­ ration, English as a second lan­ guage instruction, adult literacy classes and a variety of other sub­ jects. Retta Kelly, a chairwoman and I r > 1 _ 11 * . , i J co-founder of the coalition, said that around 100,000 people in Austin need some kind of liter­ acy training, and only 10 percent of them are getting any assis­ tance. One of the larger groups in the coalition is Literacy Austin. Mandy Shooter, executive direc­ tor, said the organization helped 1,256 students in 2002, up from 599 in 1999. "Two-thirds were English as a second-language students," Shooter said, adding that such students must learn to read and write English as well as speak it. "The rest were adults [who already knew English] doing reading and writing." Shooter estimates that her organization serves only 1 per­ cent of functionally illiterate peo­ ple in Austin. Demand is always high, and in every orientation ses­ sion, as many people are turned away as get classes. "A bout 70 percent are p a r­ ents," said Shooter. "They labels can't read m edicine and can't read a story at bed­ time." t c f l i _ I i r n c I I i- ^ A n r f i n Literacy Austin places stu­ dents into small classes based on their needs, and classes are lim­ ited by the number of people who volunteer to teach. Shooter said about one-third of Literacy Austin volunteers are UT stu­ dents. “We really value literacy as the foundation of our efforts in education.” Graham Davis, Eastside Community Connection Eastside Community Connec­ tion, a non-profit service organiza­ tion formed by recent UT graduate Graham Davis, is also in the coali­ tion. The group tries to give UT students meaningful volunteer opportunities in East Austin and to fight poverty through food and education assistance.

UT med school possible GOP has internal conflicts Legislators could propose plan in 2005 session By Ginger Brown Daily Texan Staff Two state Representatives may propose during the 2005 legisla­ tive session that a new medical school be added to the University. Jack Stick, R-Austin, and Mike Krusee, R-Round Rock, have begun discussing the creation of a biotech­ nology center with a UT-affiHated medical school as its base. Though the project would come out of a thin state budget, those drafting the proposal said it is designed to boost the local economy and provide more medical assis­ tance to a growing population. "[This project] would be hugely beneficial to the Austin area," said Jon Roberts, managing director of TIP Strategies Inc., a consulting group that studies the growth and productivity of Austin businesses. "The question on most minds is: Is the money there?" 'The answer is yes> but it is wry conpetive and very political" he added Allocating enough money to make the project happen will take a lot of work, but discussion and research on the topic has not even reached that point, Stick said. "This is a very preliminary suggestion, and we are still trying to determine its feasibility," Stick said. "If this proposal were to be passed, the economical effects of it would be staggering." The legislators hope to com­ plete a feasibility study and pre­ pare a formal proposal by 2005. The center is being discussed by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, Gov. Rick Perry's office and UT representatives. "Having a medical school and attracting a biomedical center would be helpful to the city, but at this point we're just in explo­ ration," said Saralee Tiede, vice president of communication at the chamber of commerce. Michael Warden, executive director of public affairs in the UT System said the proposal is far too prelim inary for the System to com­ ment.

REDISTRICTING, FROM 1 Department of Justice 60 days before candidate filing begins in early December. It is uncertain whether Republicans could make that deadline, as Dem­ ocrats' stalling has been success­ ful thus far. But even with a third special session and a quorum present, what might be an easy win for the GOP seems laced with diffi­ culty because of an internal con­ flict between House Speaker Tom Craddick and Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock. Craddick wants a congressional district anchored in Midland, while Duncan has said he cannot support a map that does not have a district - centered around Lubbock. For the Democrats, this is a shred of hope. "The greatest disagreement now is within the Republican caucus ... I've heard they do not have 16 votes on any plan," Zaffirini said. "And Duncan lias said if Craddick insists, Duncan will go to war." Even as Dewhurst expressed hope Monday, Craddick's spokesman, Bob Richter, seemed less optimistic "They're going to work on it, they're trving to come to some sort of compromise," Richter said. "But [the Speaker] would like to com­ promise by having Duncan give in on every count." Duncan did not return phone calls Tuesday. However, Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, might have a solution. He said he has drawn a map with one congressional dis­ trict for Lubbock and one for Midland — but that map has not been made public yet. Democrats maintain they are not giving up yet, concentrating all their hope on their federal lawsuit in Laredo Thursday, and "other options that exist". "[Sen. Bill]Ratliff could break quorum, the House could break quorum," said Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso. "We don't even know if there are 16 votes there." But Wentworth believes the end of the game is finally in sight. "Maybe three or four weeks," he said. YELLOW TEETH!

MOPAC BUILDING 3 SUITE 120 AUSTIN, TX 78759 BRIEFS Baylor faculty senate votes for presidents resignation WACO — The fight over embat­ tled Baylor President Robert Sloan’s future escalated Tuesday, as the faculty senate passed a motion voicing “no confidence" in Sloan. A group billing itself as “Friends of Baylor” countered the senate action — academia’s severest form of criticism — with the announcement that it has raised $300,000 for a public relations campaign to defend Sloan and the scandal-ridden university. The opposing messages came amid mounting pressure from some circles for Sloan, who has headed the world’s largest Baptist university for eight years, to step down. The 26-6 vote of no confidence came after the faculty senate met for more than three hours. Baylor is reeling from the fatal shooting of basketball player Patrick Dennehy, the arrest of for­ mer player Carlton Dotson on a murder charge and revelations of serious rules violations in the basketball program. Day-care center might lose license after negligence DALLAS — State regulators are trying to permanently revoke the license of the owner of a day­ care center in charge of a baby who died in a hot Suburban last month. Regulators found 43 violations in a recent investigation and con­ cluded in a letter sent to T&T Tots Day Care owner Beulah “Bea” Sherrard that the center “poses an immediate threat and danger” to children. Two violations at T&T Tots and the Learning Center Inc. could have contributed to the death of 8-month-old Jordan Thomas, who was found dead Aug. 20 after he was left inside a T&T Tots vehi­ cle. The day-care driver did not carry a list of names of all the children that he was driving, regu­ lators found. Jordan also was not buckled into a child safety seat and was left in a baby carrier in the cargo area of the Suburban. New program will transfer, deport illegal immigrants EL PASO — Hundreds of undocu­ mented immigrants captured in Arizona are being transferred to four Texas border cities where they will be immediately deported, U.S. Border Patrol officials said Tuesday. A pilot program called the ‘ Lateral Repatriation Project’ began Monday that will put 300 undocumented immigrants a day on chartered planes and buses headed for El Paso, Laredo, Del Rio and McAllen, border officials said. The program is meant to transfer undocumented immigrants caught in the Tucson area, where 135 immigrants have died in the desert in the past 11 months, to places the agency considers safer, said Mario Villarreal, Border Patrol spokesman in Washington, D.C.

Not quite Arkansas. Noiv Nathan Vasher is all Longhorn By Lome Chan Daily Texan Staff Texarkana is a road-tripper's oasis, six exits on 1-30 that promise golden arches and big gulps for everyone. It's a city literally tom by a border, split into two by the Texas-Arkansas state line and was once divided by a football rivalry. Comerback Nathan Vasher, one of Texarkana's proudest residents, knows all about the Texas-Arkansas rivalry, and is ready to represent his hometown. Well, at least half of it. "It's going to be fun," Vasher said. "Back home, I have a lot [of] friends in the area that are going to come down for the game. I'm trying to get as many tickets as I can for this — I might need a little bit over 30." Vasher grew7 up on the Texas side of Texarkana, which is div ided into two cities with one in each state. He attended Texas high school, wear­ ing replica Longhorn uniforms and playing the across-tow n Razor- backs every year. While most Texas players don't understand the grav­ ity of the rivalry, Vasher has lived it his whole life. "T h is gam e goes back w ay longer than everyone on this team has been playing," Vasher said. "They're Hog Crazy, and it's really im portant for them to win for bragging rights." Ever since Vasher, who was recruited by Arkansas, decided to attend Texas, people have been talking to him about the game. His cousin, St. Louis Ram s rookie defensive end Randy Gamer, went to Arkansas, but Vasher's loyalties don't cross the line, and the Texas side of the city even named May 22 "N athan Vasher Day." "H e jokes with us, lets us know it's a hardcore towm," safety Dakarai Pearson said. "H e says it's fiery in Texarkana, but he likes it, and he's the guy there. He likes to go back, and I'm pretty sure the town is behind him 100 percent." Vasher, dubbed "E SP N 3" for m aking the highlight reel con­ stantly, has impressed with his 4.3 speed and his catching ability, including the game-saving inter­ ception in Texas' 27-24 wrin at Nebraska. "A guy that can do w'hat Nathan can do has a lot of options," defen­ sive coordinator Carl Reese said. "H e has really good hands. That sets him apart from other backs." R eese said that Vasher has improved m ost in his pre-snap reads. Vasher had to adjust to being the senior leader in the sec­ ondary7 this season, but that was nothing compared to the adjust­ m ent he m ade his freshman year. Vasher switched to defense after playing w ide receiver in high school, catching 12 touchdow n passes his senior year. “This gam e goes back way longer than everyone on this team has been playing.” Nathan Vasher, hails from Texarkana "H e had a problem with [having a wide receiver's mentality] when he came in, but coach Akina came in and helped him adjust to tracking the receiver instead. All DBs have that problem, looking in the back- field, but it's not a problem now7." Vasher already had an intercep­ tion against New Mexico State and is eighth on Texas' all-time list with 12 interceptions. Vasher also has a less-heated rivalry7 in his ow n secondary, with Pearson looking to im prove on his six interceptions last season. "O ur hands are the same, but I wall have to give myself the upper hand on that, considering I can catch the one-handed pick," Pearson said. "Tie goes to me." If Vasher has anything to say about it, a Texas road-trip to New Orleans in January may have to take a detour to Texarkana. Nathan Vasher is familiar with the Texas-Arkansas rivalry, and after making one inter­ ception against New Mexico State two weeks ago, hopes to have the same defensive fire­ works Saturday.

That was the m en's tennis ros­ ter after last year. Texas needed young blood badly, and from near and far, they came. The team added four outstanding young athletes to its roster this year from as close as Corpus Christi and as far as Budapest. Tas Tobias' road from Hungary7 to Austin was an interesting one. Head coach Michael Center, early in his collegiate coaching career, was at the helm of the Kansas w om en's tennis program. O ne of the players from his Jayhaw k days eventually m arried the Davis Cup captain of Hungary, w ho alerted her of Tobias, a young standout. Center got word of Tobias and the two began corresponding, and soon afterward Center visit­ ed Budapest. "I had a brochure that [Assistant Coach] Ricardo [Rubio] gave me, and [UT] sounded interesting," Tobias recalled. "It sounded the best out of others." Although many other major program s, including Oklahoma, pursued Tobias, Texas scored the second- ranked junior in Hungary. collegiate Closer to home, the recruiting class also includes the two "best out of Texas" according to Center, and with good reason. Andrew Mack, the state 5A champ from Plano West, and Hubert Chod- kiewncz, ranked No. 1 in the state coming out of high school in Corpus Christi, represent the From left, freshmen Andrew Mack, Hubert Chodkiewicz and Garrett Snyder. The trio will join forces with Hungarian Tas Tobias this season to reload Texas’ tennis arsenal. Bin Chen/Daily Texan Staff cream of the crop from the state of Texas. The duo has known each other since playing doubles together at age 14 in a Texas jun­ ior league and have once again com e time as Longhorns. together, this Joining Tobias, Mack and Chodkiewicz is Garrett Snyder hailing from N ew port Beach, Calif. Described simply by Centers as someone who "knows how to win tennis m atches," Snyder has been playing compet­ itively since age eight in Southern California. When asked why he chose Texas, Snyder pointed to team cohesiveness. "You see a lot of chemistry [in the team ]," Snyder said before practice Tuesday. Team chemistry is a common thread in each individual's deci­ sion to come to the University. "This team 's closer than oth­ ers," M ack noted, cooling dowm after track dnils last Friday. In addition to team morale, The University and the city of Austin are great recruiting assets for the team. "It's the total pack­ age," Chodkiewicz described, referring to the athletics and the academics at UT. "W e're pretty serious about academics," said Mack, who is pursuing a degree in government. With formal practices yet to start, the freshmen have been particip atin g m ostly in team conditioning drills, w hich is part of a m ovem ent to form a m ore athletic squad this year. W ith a new em phasis on strength and endurance, the team hopes to its 19-7 record im prove on in a n ation al which resulted ranking of 16. The fearsome foursom e has been on the forefront of this fit­ ness movement. "They've really done an incredible job," Center said of the freshmen in condition­ ing drills. "They've really impact­ ed the team with their attitude and work ethic." To Tobias, whom Center describes as "a big physical ath­ lete," these conditioning exercises are a breeze. "For me, it's not that bad, because in Hungary, wre do a lot of training." Running stride for stride with the upper classmen at Mike A. Myers Track, the freshmen are real­ izing the commitment to fitness that is required b\ the coaching staff. W hile many athletes go to pro­ gram s despite the tough condi­ tioning, these freshm en cam e because of it. "I knew I'd get in great shape [if 1 came to UT]," M ack said. Such a com mitment to training m ay land these four a trip to Hawaii. Two events have been scheduled in llaw 7an for October, and in order to book their flight across the Atlantic, the players m ust pass the grueling Cooper running test — where they have just over seven-and-a- to run quarter laps in under 12 minutes — and attend all workouts. Although these athletes are confident in their abilities, transi­ tion from high school to major collegiate tennis w ill be no cake- w7alk. "E v ery o n e's pretty much stronger than you ," Chodkiewicz said, emphasizing the extra years of conditioning it takes to com­ pete at a high level. "You never have easy matches," Mack added. Referring to the recruiting class, Centers said "this is the most depth we've had' — depth the team w ill need next year as is m ore than half expected to graduate. the roster "It's a privilege to be here, that's a given," Snyder said, "but I'm here to w7ork hard and have fu n ." The fun, howrever, will have to wait until their trip to Tulsa next May for the NCAA cham pionship. Connor Higgins Senior Sports Writer Baylor should exit Big 12 It was reported the other day that three former chairmen of Baylor's Board of Regents sug­ gested university president Robert Sloan should step down. In lieu of the Patrick D ennehy/ Dave Bliss scandal, it was sug­ gested that Sloan no longer has the credibility, nor the accept­ ance of the community, to rep­ resent the school in a positive manner. Another child bom of this atypical and contemptible situ­ ation is the question of whether or not Baylor is fit for big time college athletics and inclusion in the Big 12 Conference. The answer should ha ve been given without the scandal serv­ ing as a shameful catalyst. There are too many other pressing issues in the community to be concerned with before address­ ing the issue of conference membership. But now, with a potential shakeup looming in the highest office on campus, it seems only fitting that Baylor's role in university competition be reviewed, if not overhauled. This is far from the first time that the issue of conference withdrawal has been raised in Waco, nor will it be the last. Three university presidents are already on record saying that they will not pursue such pro­ cedures, effectively removing the possibility of forced with­ drawal from the table. In the Big 12, a "superm ajority" of nine universities is needed to evict any school. If it is going to happen, it has to em anate from the athletic director's office — in Waco. Som e will argue, and it's a hard message to silence, that Baylor would be crazy to leave the recognition and stature of the Big 12, let alone the lucra­ that financial package tive accom panies m em bership in such a conference. later, But sooner or the school has to decide if the money is worth the em barrass­ ment and negative attention of another seven- or eight-loss conference campaign. There is already enough negative atten­ tion to last a lifetime. It this were som ething unex­ pected — if Baylor were sup­ posed to be com petitive — there wrould undoubtedly be less fuss to remove the pro­ gram from the conference. But the numbers are too staggenng to ignore. Since the dawm of the Big 12 in 1996, Baylor is 4-34 in conference play. Last season's 35-32 win against Kansas w as the only win in four years. W hy not fret over Kansas and their inability to com pete w ith the rest of the region? Simple. There are twro major "revenue" sports in the college game: football and basketball. Kansas, if you've been paying attention, has a pretty decent hoops team. Baylor has ren­ dered theirs useless. If the school does the right thing and pulls out so that the other universities — all of which are massive state schools that are better equipped to par­ ticipate in a super-conference — don't have to resort to the unenviable position of asking one of their peers to step aside, then the Big 12 will have to decide on a feasible replace­ ment. If it wants to take the best team from its prospective pool of candidates, it should take Colorado State. Currently on par with two-time defending Big 12 North champion Colorado, the Rams already are superior to Kansas and Iowa State, could certainly hang with Nebraska and give Kansas State a heap of trouble. The move may not be popular to those who look at the annual Baylor game as an automatic win and tuneup heading into bowl season. But Baylor belongs in a conference where it has a purpose beyond baseball and tennis, where they are very good. What the school needs now is seclusion. In the glare of the Big 12 spotlight, they will find none.

Clockwise, Ewan McGregor and Danny Devito in Tim Burton’s “Big Fish;” Uma‘ Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s highly-anticipated “Kill Bill;” and George Clooney with Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Coen brothers’ “Intolerable Cruelty.” Photos courtesy of Columbia Pictures, Miramax Films and Universal Pictures By Stephen Saito Daily Texan Staff While "The Matrix Revolutions" and "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" already have audi­ ences salivating, here are the top five anticipated movies of the fall, with all apologies to films like "C o ld M o u n ta in ," "T h e L a st Sam urai," "Mystic River," "Pieces of April" and other sure-to-be knockouts. 1> KILL BILL Anyone who is familiar w ith the type of grindhouse action films that come out of Asia, as well as Quentin Tarantino's affin­ ity for them, probably w asn 't shocked by the decision to release "Kill Bill" in two chapters after filming for 138 d ays in Japan, Mexico and Los Angeles. While most films with major stars like Step h en C h o w an d Jet Li are m ade into 8-10 hour versions that c a n be c h o p p e d d o w n in to sequ els and trilogies w ithout having to shoot any more footage in Asia, slicing "Kill Bill" in two is a bit of a risk for a U.S. distributor such as Miramax. Reportedly, the first half will be packed to the gills with kungfu and the second half will have the brunt of the dramatic m onologues, but, as the film's trailer assures, the revenge- minded Um a Thurman will kill Bill. (Oct. 10) For Tim Burton, "B ig Fish" represents his first real shot at an O scar nom ination. For a u d i­ ences, it represents the first real Tim Burton film since 1999's "Sleepy Hollow." Based on the e c c e n t r ic n o v e l b y D a n ie l Wallace, "B ig Fish" is the story of a man (Billy C rudup) attem pting to sort out the tall tales he's heard about his father (Albert Finney) before he dies. E w a n M c G r e g o r p l a y s Finney's character in flashbacks that m ay or may not be true and is joined by Burton's real-life sig­ nificant other Helena Bonham Carter as well as Jessica Lange, Steve Buscem i, Danny DeVito and Alison Lohman. Although the story, which includes goat- eating giants and circus perform ­ ers, seem ed like a perfect fit for the idiosyncratic Burton, Steven Spielberg w as actually scheduled to direct the film, but he wanted a break after "Catch Me if You Can." (Nov. 26) Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is the man who can be credited with ju m p sta r tin g a re v o lu tio n in Mexican cinema with "A m ores Perros."

(N ov 14) 4. INTOLERABLE CRUELTY "In to le ra b le C ru e lty " an d "Bad San ta" — Sure, they're tied, but for Coen brother fans, it's going to be one great fall season. Instead of pulling a Rodriguez or Tarantino, the Coens have had these two long-gestating projects a s sc r ip ts for the lo n g e st tim e an d e n d e d u p d ire c tin g one ("C ruelty") and getting only a writing credit for the other ("Bad Santa"), but both are in good hands.

The film also features G eoffrey Rush, Cedric the Entertainer and Billy Bob Thornton, w ho headlines the other Coen Brother flick, "Bad Santa," about a mall Santa who cases the joint before he l e a v e s . D ir e c t e d b y T e rry Zw igoff ("G h ost W orld"), the film is already gaining cult-like popularity before its release, and Thornton co-stars with Lauren Graham , John Ritter and Bernie Mac, a s a detective hot on Thornton's trail. (Oct. 10 and Nov. 26) FOR TEXANS... THE ALAMO For many around Austin, "The Alamo" may not be a big deal, if only because the city has been liv­ ing with the production for near­ ly three years now. However, for the rest of the world, it's time to remember. Starring Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crockett, Jason Patrie as Sam Bowie and Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston, "The A lam o" is certainly the m ost a u th e n tic p r o d u c tio n e v e r mounted about the fam ous bat­ tle. H aving the largest set ever built in North America (and by UT grad Michael Corenblith, no less), didn't. hurt. Though early production proposed a reteam ing of director Ron H ow ard and R ussell Crowe, Texans should be proud to hear one of their own, John Lee H ancock ("The R o o k ie") is in the director's chair, and the film will likely be a great show­ case for the state's production community.

Riefenstahl died Tuesday at her home in Poecking at the age of 101, and as late as last year, she com­ pleted and re.eased "Impressions Under Water,” a film about her underwater pho­ tography in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Still, she is best known for "Triumph of the Will” and “Olympia,” both commissioned by Adolf Hitler for the advance­ ment of the Nazi agenda, and both filled with truly breathtaking visuals and astonishing uses of light. Surely, photographers like the late Herb Ritts took note, but Riefenstahl changed how filmmakers thought about the speed of film and the power of the celluloid. For years, Jodie Foster had been interested in making a biopic based on Riefenstahl’s life, but as of yet, to no avail. However the aforementioned documentary is an excellent por­ trait of a very complicated woman whose legacy will undoubtably live on. Cinematexas returns with appearance by lodd Haynes Cinematexas begins its eighth year next Tuesday, Sept. 16, and while most of the attention has been directed towards a retrospective of “Far From Heaven" auteur Todd Haynes' short films, this year’s festival boasts as many promis­ ing non-film events as film events. Check out www.cinema- texas.org for details. Tickets are still available for both Austin Film Society-spon­ sored premieres of Robert Rodriguez’s “Once Upon A Time In Mexico” tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Paramount and Tim McCanlies "Secondhand Lions” Sept. 14 at 6 p.m., also at the Paramount, with filmmakers present at both. The Austin Film Society, along with the UT RTF department, is also sponsoring “Visiones, Latino Art and Culture,” a screening of an hour-and-a-half excerpt from renowned Austin documentarían Hector Galan's new three-part series for PBS about Latino art and culture in America. The screening will take place at the One World Theatre on Sept. 17, and tick­ ets are available though the One World Theater.
