During World War II, he served as combat photographer for the United States Marine Corps in the South Pacific from 1943-46. While.serving, he was made lieutenant colonel and received multiple honors: the Legion of Merit, D istin gu ish ed F lying Cross, Air Medal and Purple Heart. After the war, Duncan was a staff photographer for Life m agazine in Palestine, Greece, Korea and Indochina from 1946 to 56. He also served as a freelance photographer for Collier's, Ufe, ABC-TV, and NBC-TV in the U.S.S.R., Vietnam, the United States and Europe. Duncan's photojournalism awards in clu d e the G old M edal, U.S. Camera, 1950; Overseas Press Club A w ard, 1951; Robert Capa G old Medal, 1968; and Photographer of the Year Award, American Society of M agazin e P hotographers, 1968. Duncan is also an honorary khan of the Quashqui Tribe of Iran. Some of the extraordinary events he captured on film include the sur­ render of Japan to the Allies while aboard the U.S.S. Missouri and the first coverage of the penetration of the Iron Curtain. With the permis­ sio n of S oviet Prem ier N ikita Khrushchev, Duncan spent three years photographing the Czar's trea­ sures in the Kremlin. He has taken portraits of General Eisenhower and K ing Farouk and recorded Lord Mountbatten during the last days of British rule in India. Duncan also became the friend of Pablo Picasso and his family and pro­ duced some of the finest books on the artist, including The Private World of Pablo Picasso (1958), Picasso's Picassos (1961), a best-seller, and Goodbye Picasso (1974). Duncan's work has been show n around the world and comprised the first ever one-person photographic Continued from page 1 ment stores. Staley described Marcus as a "great collector and bookman" who foresaw the match of the valuable Duncan archive with die HRC. "These things take time to simmer," explained Staley of the negotiations required to complete the attainment of the archive. "I visited Duncan several times and our curator visited him. An agreement like this must serve the purpose of the donor as well as enhance the holdings and research potential of the center." Though the HRC contains work representing an overview of photo­ journalism's impact on history, Roy Flukinger, curator of the photography collection, said, "The span and variety of Duncan's world photojournalism brings that impact into the modem age and gives it a sense of fulfillment." Of his archive coming to the HRC, Duncan said, "I think I'm so lucky. When considering a home for my col­ lection, I went to museums and gal­ leries, but nothing has been more rewarding than working with the peo­ ple at the center. Not only their hospi­ tality but their professionalism made it very clear that this was the right thing to do. What they are getting is the end result of the intense passion I poured into what I've been trying to do with my life." Duncan, born in 1916 in Kansas City, Mo., took his first pictures of a hotel fire with a 39-cent camera at age 18. He later learned that one of the frantic guests he captured on film was none other than John Dillinger, the 1930s Am erican bank robber and murderer. Though Duncan pursued degree work in marine zoology and Spanish at the University of Miami, his true calling as a photojournalist soon became apparent. Throughout his life Duncan worked as a boxer, deep-sea diver, airline pub­ licity photographer, foreign press cor­ Wages Continued from page 1 prices to pay higher labor costs, but I d o n 't th in k b u sin esses w ill be entirely successful." Benefit cost growth, which had lagged behind wage growth, also began to catch up in the April-June q u a r te r. For th e y e a r e n d e d in June, wages increased 3.8 percent and benefits, 2.4 percent. But in the second quarter alone, both increas­ es were alm ost the same: 0.9 per­ cent for wages and 0.8 percent for benefits.

Duncan's award-winning coverage of the Korean War, published almost weekly in Life magazine, was hailed by Edward Steichen, then curator of photographs at the M useum of M odem Art, as "the greatest photo­ graphic docum ent ever produced showing men at war." Many of his images of exhausted GIs have become icons, recognized as true pictures of the anguish of war. J.B. Colson, professor of photojour­ nalism, particularly admires Duncan's w ork, I Protest, w hich speaks out against the fatal duties required of American foot soldiers by their supe­ rior officers in Khe Sanh, Vietnam. "A Marine officer and one of the most noted photographers in the world had foe guts to use his ability to make a per­ sonal statement that would at the time be politically unpopular," Colson said. Colson also appreciates the person­ al character of Duncan revealed in his photography. "Duncan's photographs show his participation in the lives of the soldiers with courage and sensitivity, which many times tend not to go together. It took tremendous photographic skill. Duncan treated with respect the lives in those pictures'for the rest of his own life — he sold them only as news and not as pictures," Colson said. "His political and military photography is among the great photography. He worked hard and intelligently over a long period of time - a tremendous commitment of oneself." Duncan himself believes the most meaningful aspect of his career is "not any one story. It was the people I met and the people w ho are gone w ho were great in m y life. N ot just the famous people, but the great people," Duncan said. "Knowing people like I did — that's what shapes a person. Most people I care profoundly about are gone. I wanted to show how much they meant to me. It's not about a story — it's the way I feel." Although the arrangement for the acquisition w as com pleted in late 1997, the HRC is still in the process of receiving sh ip m en ts of D uncan's work and plans a retrospective exhibit in conjunction with the LBJ Library for March of 1999. Duncan is excited about his work being accessible to, and an important part of, the University community. "If s a very great thing to my wife and I. We have no children and we consider the Ransom Center our fami­ ly and the students our kids. Forty-five thousand kids! I've gone from no chil­ dren at all to the biggest family in the world. Texas is big and so now I've gone one bigger. Those Arab sheiks have nothing on me," Duncan said. Pool Continued from page 1 gle-family homes.

Peter H ess, a p o o l u ser and neighborhood resident, said roping off the fissures w ou ld take aw ay from the overall appeal of the nat­ ural pool. "It's the heart and sou l of the springs," he said. Bill Seawell, assistant field super­ v iso r w ith the U.S. Fish and W ild life S ervice, said the p o o l changes aren't set in stone. "There are som e things w e can modify," Seawell said. "But w e just cannot allow the amount of take [of salamanders] w e have now." "Take" the is d e fin e d E n d an gered S p ecies A ct as "to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect, in or to attempt to engage in any such conduct." Under the proposed plan, only 22 salamanders would be "taken" each year. About 3,100 takes occurred annu­ ally before the city ad ju sted its clean in g p ro ced u res in January, Seawell said. After the public comment period on the application ends A ug. 14, Seawell said city and federal offi­ cials will consider some of the sug­ gestions that have been offered. Barton Springs Pool has been at the heart of controversy this year, as two scientists sued the city in May, alleging it didn't have the proper permit to clean the pool and that the cleanings were killing salamanders. But U.S. D istrict Judge Sam Sparks s id e d w ith the city last month, ruling that it could continue operating and cleaning the pool.

According to the proposal, mem­ bers w h o dem onstrate econom ic hardship will not be required to pay dues. "We don't want to create m em ­ bership police — we're really just trying to include everybody," said P eg gy M ueller, staff a ssociation board member. Association members also voted to establish a standing grievances committee, similar to those already existing for faculty and staff. The committee w ould either act as a staff advocate during employee disputes, or the committee w ould conduct "mock" grievance inquiries and com pare its results w ith the University's. But since the committee was not established by the U niversity, its decisions will not be binding. A lth ou gh the staff asso ciatio n made significant changes Thursday, members stopped short of unioniz­ ing the organization, a measure that has been hotly debated within the staff association. Several members tried unsuccess­ fully to convince the organization to take a vote on unionization, saying it was imperative in the campaign for higher staff wages. "When you have a strong union, w orkers h a v e better w a g es and rights," said staff association mem­ ber Mike Corwin, who also belongs to the In tern atio n a l S o c ia lists Organization (ISO). "W e've se e n w h a t w e can get through the tactics that we've used so far, but I think now we need to ask the question: How are we going to get more?" Corwin said. He said the answer was to union­ ize the staff association. Before the meeting began, several ISO m em b ers d istrib u ted p ro ­ unionization leaflets to staff associa­ tion members. But staff association board mem­ bers felt that unionization wouldn't be in the best interests of the organi­ zation.

Market Brief Thursday, July 30,1998 DOW (Industrials) NYSE Pensions Continued from page 1 SAP 500 AMEX mr NASDAQ SAP MidCap 32 1,919 Advances: 1,022 Declines: 509 Unchanged; Tbtal issues; 331# Composite volume: 811,014,940 1997 avg. comp, vol.: 630,215,250 1 6 0 s itiv ity , the H o u se has alread y voted this year to block a cost-of- living raise in lawmakers' $136,673 an nual sa la ries. The T reasury Department spending bill for 1999, at which Stevens' amendment had been aimed, also w ould prevent a pay raise for legislators. Lawmakers' retirement plans cur­ rently a llo w so m e lo n g -se r v in g members to earn annual pensions of c lo se to $100,000. The N a tio n a l Taxpayers Union, which has stud­ ied the congressional retirem ent system, has said that some retiring law m ak ers w ill enjoy p e n sio n s worth about five times the national average. The two conservative groups said Stevens' am endm ent could have added tens of thousands of dollars to the pension benefits many law­ makers receive over the course of their retirements. Stevens' plan would have applied to m em bers o f C ongress, federal judges and high executive branch officials, his aides said. Only retired officials who start collecting annu­ ities beginning next Jan. 2 w ould have qualified. Lawmakers' pensions are calcu­ lated using a formula that includes their salaries in their three highest- earning years and the number of years they served. U nder Stevens' am endm ent, if C ongress denied law m akers and other top officials a cost-of-living salary in crease for on e of th ose years, the formula would have been adjusted as if that pay raise had taken effect. To take advantage of the provi­ sion, beneficiaries would have had to increase their contributions to reflect the cost-of-living increase. Currently, m em bers pay up to 8 p ercent of th eir salaries tow ard their retirement plans. USELESS BMEFS Fugitive molester runs out of luck on .

'Gangsta' rap critic sues for 130 million ■ PHILADELPHIA — Gangsta rap critic C. DeLores Tucker has filed a m u lti-m illion dollar defamation lawsuit against dozens of newspapers and media outlets, accusing them of distorting claims she made against the estate of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Tucker, w ho claimed Shakur's lyrics contained lewd references to her, said new s ou tlets erro­ neously reported that she and her husband filed suit against Shakur "on the sole basis that lewd lyrics destroyed their sex lives." Mrs. Tucker has said the loss of co n so rtiu m referred to in the 1997 suit had nothing to do with sex, but w ith "advice, society, companionship, i.e., defendants' effect upon the 'family union.'" In her fed eral la w su it filed Wednesday, Tucker, chairwoman of the National Political Congress of Black Women, and her 70-year- old husband,. William, said news organizations "distorted and mis­ represented" her earlier lawsuit. The suit dem ands $1 m illion from each of 130 defendants. Titanic expedition departs Boston ■ BOSTON — A group of scien­ tists, oceanographers, historians and documentary film producers set out Thursday on an adventure that will take them 2.5 miles below the sea's surface — at least visually. The international group sailed on the Ocean Voyager and plans to deploy a remote-controlled vehicle designed to navigate the watery grave of the Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. Its 4,500-pound, state-of-the- art m obile robotic camera w ill explore the ship's stem and bow. It is attempting to capture images that could provide new informa­ tion about the sh ip 's sin k in g, a ccord in g to The D isc o v e r y Channel, which will air a portion of the journey. The latest Titanic expedition is ex p ec te d to p ro d u ce the first glimpse of the section of the ship struck by an iceberg. That colli­ sion w as ultim ately responsible for sinking the vessel. Charges stand against recycler who says he gave away beer ■ AUSTIN — The owner of a recy­ cling business who says he gave away thousands of cases of slight­ ly o u t-o f-d ate beer can face charges of illegally selling it, a state appeal's court ruled Thursday. Kyle Hahn, owner of Green Guy Recycling Center in San Marcos, said he turned dow n everyone who tried to pay him for the brew, asking only that the beer bottles be returned so he could recycle them. C ou n ty But Capt. John McGuire of the S h eriff's H ays Department said he bought two cases of im p orted sto u t from Hahn for $3 each while working u n d erco v er w ith the T exas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. In all, Hahn said he gave away 60,000 bottles of slightly old beer in 1996. W hen Hahn w as first charged, police confiscated near­ ly 7,000 bottles of beer and ale. H ahn sa id he c o n c e iv e d o f a community effort to recycle the glass, metal, cardboard and even the beer, which would have been donated to farmers to dum p on dry fields. The TABC would not sign off on the plan, prompting Hahn to give it away. — C o m p ile d fro m A s s o c ia te d Press reports WORLD & NATION T h e D a i l y T e x a n h h m v, juur s i, isss 3 POWERB ALL'S A KKKI King’s man?

Consider astronaut Edgar Mitchell.' On his way back to Earth he realized that we are all "one" and that his unusual version of God and spirituality deserved intense scientific attention. He founded the Institute for Noetic Sci­ ence, whose mission is 'To expand our understanding of human possibility by investigating aspects of reality-mind* consciousness, and spirit — that include but potentially go beyond physical phenomena." Mitchell's institute takes that mean­ ing-free drivel seriously by funding many loosely structured research pro­ jects all over the country, including some at major universities. The Insti­ tute prides itself on scientific rigor, but how does one rigorously do a study called "Reincarnation and Biology," which asserts the possibility that a birthmark or birth defect may be the reflection of an injury in a past life? Although we have not seen the results of the study or analyzed its methods, we are not holding our breath for a breakthrough. Many of the Noetic studies are dou­ ble blind, but with deep irony, they have funded ultracrackpot Rupert Shel­ drake to investigate whether "subtle EDITORIALS astronauts lost in space Roahn Wynar COLUMNIST factors relating to the consciousness of the experimenter appear to affect experimental outcome." Sheldrake's thinly disguised objective is to destroy the credibility of the double-blind pro­ tocol in principle. This would be a gold­ mine for alternative medicine fruit­ cakes who could then make any claim their unconstrained brains can dream up and never have to worry about sci­ ence debunking them. Actually, this would not be any different than the way they behave now. In April, Mitchell testified before Congress telling stories of 300-foot-long UFOs and about the Air Force's mur­ dering of aliens and doctoring of pho­ tographs. Astronaut James Irwin donated his brain to more mainstream, but equally inane, religious notions. At some point he suffered the intellectual equivalent of a broken airlock and became a die­ hard Evangelical Christian and cre­ ationist. An equally befuddled buddy showed him a set of photographs that purported to be of Noah's Ark, just sit­ ting there, on Mount Ararat, Turkey, The photos were an admitted April Fools' joke perpetuated by a German newspaper. The April Fools' joke did not die, but Irwin did make it funnier. The idea of the photos was so funda­ mentally stupid that only a twisted cre­ ationist drummed out of a dream job at NASA for underhanded business deal­ ings could ever take them seriously. Such was Irwin. He began taking trips to Turkey and on one of them fell off an Ararat diff and became newsworthy. Although we were not there, we can imagine the headlines: "Moonwalking American technological icon injures self while searching for mythical boat." OK, so two of the guys went absolutely insane — what about the others? Thankfully, a much smaller portion of Astronaut Harrison Schmidt's, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's and Pete Con­ rad's brains burned up on reentry. They are leaders in the world of space exploration enthusiasts and commer­ cial space ventures. This is a communi­ ty populated by forward looking dreamers with little or no sense of per­ spective. Like Star Trek junkies, they have a fantastic idea of what the future should be, are conversant on space propulsion techniques and the "com­ mercialization and colonization" of space, but they probably never both­ ered to learn calculus, chemistry, com­ puter science, aerospace engineering or anything else that might actually help this future come about. This is a community where you can pay $10,000 to fly on an as yet unbuilt civilian spacecraft (www. mayflower- rocket.com) or work in a spaceport despite the fact there are no viable to spaceships tend (www.tour2space.com). For a cool $10 million you can buy a "dropcan" on an under-construction, privately-funded space probe headed to the asteroid belt where it will be used to investigate the "mining potential." Expect a launch in mid-1999. We will keep you posted. Conrad runs the most legitimate of these fantasy groups, called "Universal Space Lines," and is actually contract­ ing with McDonnell Douglas to devel­ op a new generation of reusable rock­ ets. Space dreamers have a noble vision. Unfortunately right now there is no obvious objective for manned space­ flight. Commercialization is a nice thought until we remember that space is, for the most part, empty. Consider the promise of making special medi­ cines in microgravity. Sadly, after more than 10 years of work, no significant advance in protein synthesis has been made during microgravity experiments on the shuttle and Mir. In fact, it seems gravity has little effect on protein crys­ tals and this little effect is as likely to be negative as positive. In the personal opinion of Bob Parks of the American Physical Society, "As a commercial environment, microgravity is of microimportance." These original astronauts are a bleak reminder that our reality always moves slower than our dreams.

Gingrich mismanages managed care reform Iioyd Poffitett GUEST COLUMN A number of our neighbors have contacted me in the recent months seeking protection from the mis­ management of their personal health by managed care companies. Health care professionals have also expressed concern about interfer­ ence in their ability to assist their patients. I want our physicians and all pro­ fessional members of the health care team to be able to provide the best quality care possible and not to be restrained by some clerk trying to get a bonus by denying health care to those in need. Unfortunately, Last year by adopting a new law, Texas became the first state in the nation to hold insurance managed care companies responsible for mak­ ing harmful medical decisions. But the insurance industry is relying on a restrictive federal law to block that state relief for those who have suf­ fered not only from physical illness or injury, but from insurance abuse. insurers found an important ally in House Speaker Newt Gingrich. In all too familiar fashion, after months of delay, the Speaker rushed through the House a proposal, conceived in secret, never exposed to public hear­ ings, and to which no amendments were permitted. The objective was to provide the least change possible to blunt any meaningful reform, while inoculating his cohorts from attack. these Most everyone in Washington claims they want to help those unjustly denied health care; the dif­ ference is that the bill approved by the House denies victims of man­ aged care abuse the ability to help themselves. Unless there is an effective way insurers accountable, all the rest of the sup­ posed "patient protection act" will just be so much talk. to hold One of the best critiques of the Gingrich proposal came from the Texas Republican sponsors of our new Texas law. They rightly con­ tended that our new state statute "has actually diverted lawsuits and saved patients' legal costs." Addi­ tionally, they noted the proposed House bill "weakens current Texas law regarding emergency care and gag clauses by not protecting health care providers from retaliation when they act as advocates for their patients." The Gingrich HMO bill does not give patients basic rights: access to needed specialists or clinical trials; it does not ensure that patients can be hospitalized if their doctor recom­ mends it, or prevent health ipsur- ance companies from kicking them out of the hospital too soon. Fur­ thermore, the measure does not ensure that doctors can prescribe the best medication for their patients, or keep health plans from rewarding doctors for limiting needed care. It fails to protect conscientious doc­ tors, nurses and other health care professionals who report quality problems from retaliation by health plans. In addition to omitting most of the real protections patients need, the few provisions in the bill are so narrow they offer little protection for patients. This bill recently forced through the House will not get the job done and will never become law. I vigor­ ously opposed this approach and supported an alternative endorsed by major health care and consumer groups. Despite this setback, I will remain actively involved in seeking reasonable, bipartisan reform of managed health care.

After reading Claudia Grisales' article ’ "Experts recount Tower shootings" in yesterday's Texan, I see that this not only applies to the conversa­ tions people engage in, but it also applies to journalism ~ at least Ms. Grisales' practice of it. Ms. Grisales did a fine job of explaining both Gary Lavergne's and Dan Barrera's beliefs about what drove Charles Whitman to kill 16 peo­ ple and wound 31 others on Aug. 1, 1966. However, she distorts the views of two of the expert panelists soofi afterwards ~ mainly because she mis­ takes the word "could" for "should." This is most apparent when Ms. Grisales takes an observation of UT Division of Rhetoric and Composition and English Department assistant pro­ fessor Rosa Eberly that, "there is no place in this city to remember publicly and comment together about the events," and turns it into a proposal to construct a memorial to the Tower vic­ tims. On KVRX's "The 411," Dr. Eber­ ly explained one reason why there is no memorial to the Tower victims at the University — until the past decade in America, monuments were erected to commemorate large civic events such as wars; therefore, only in the past several years would an idea sur­ face to construct a memorial to the Tower tragedy. Dr. Eberly also talked about how some people could see a memonal to the Tower victims as a shrine to Charles Whitman. However, Dr. Eberly never proposed that the University construct a memorial to the victims of the Tower incident. Furthermore, Dan Barrera only speculated on how UT students could see the view that only a select group currently sees from the Tower. He spoke about how someone could buy the Goodall Wooten dormitory and build another tower in its place, not that someone should He also spoke about how UT could lease the top floors of the Tower to a private com­ pany, not that the University should. As a journalist, Ms. Grisales should the enormous difference know between the two. Ms. Grisales should also know that there is an enormous difference between what Dr. Eberly stated and what she reported Dr. Eber­ ly saying to Texan readers. In journal­ ism, proposals are often more news­ worthy than observations, and stories at the top of the front page are more important than all stories that follow. As much as Ms. Grisales would like to make her story more newsworthy than it is by showcasing "proposals" to the UT administration concerning the Tower, she should never sacrifice the accuracy of her reporting to do so. Courtney Robertson English junior We still have thousands! I understand how many students would be upset at the fact that many student seats have been moved to the upper deck to make room for the new stadium club. What I don't under­ stand is why some students have decided that they will not attend home football games because of this change. I thought the stadium club only took a small portion (less than 3,000) of the lower east side seats. But isn't the whole lower east side level devoted almost entirely to students, staff, and faculty? And if I remember correctly, the student draw still exists. Maybe some people don't realize that the subtraction of lower level seats does not mean that all students will be stuck on the upper level. Most stu­ dents tfilJ still be watching the games from the lower level. As I recall, that section that is being displaced rarely had anyone sitting in it last year. If attendance at football games were to stay the same as last year, then there wouldn't be any problems because then we wouldn't even be able to sell out the lower level seats. We would just have an empty upper level. But with Ricky in pursuit of die Heisman, attendance is sure to go up! Therefore some students will be unfor­ tunate enough to get stuck in the upper deck for one game. But because of the draw, it doesn't mean they'll get stuck there for every home game. You never know what you'll get with the draw. Plus I'd rather have first row, 50 yard line seats in the upper deck than last row, past-the-end-zone seats. If you are unlucky enough to draw, upper level seats for every game, then watch out because worse things are probably in store for you. I've Been to every home game (and almost every away game) since I've been here, and I've only seen the stadi­ um sell out a few times. Those few times have been against big name opponents, so students should be glad that there is a second upper deck. With the added seats, there is a better chance for everyone to see those big time games (and see Ricky win his Heisman)! When Nebraska comes here in '99, it will be these same stu­ dents who are complaining that will wish they had any upper deck seat, when they find out they can't get a ticket because the game is sold out! And for those students who accuse people at the University (especially the administration) of caring more about athletics than academics, you may be right! But come first home game this year, you'd better be at home studying rather than complaining about what crappy seats you have. Hook 'em! David Guadiano, Jr. Mathematics senior Co-op was once ours We are writing to clear up several misconceptions some people have about the integration of the University of Texas Women's Cooperatives. First of all, we would like to talk about the history of the UTWC. Many of the houses that are now part of the UTWC, were off-campus co­ ops in the past. Prior to WWII, many of them were men's co-ops. During the war, some of these men's co-ops switched over to women (due to lack of men). When the men came back from the War, the women weren't willing to give the co-ops back. The men went on to found new co-ops. It was at this point that the University invited the women on-campus. At that time the men's co-ops were not fully established, and therefore were not invited on campus. The second thing we would like to address, is the notion that men have the same opportunity in near campus co-ops as they do in on-campus co­ ops. This is untrue. Near campus and on-campus are very different from each other. Being on-campus provides UT maintenance, UT police protection, UT phone service, UT cable service and UT ethemet connections. In addi­ tion, being part of campus requires that the UTWC buildings conform to UT policy, making it less likely they will become, "filthy" like the West Campus co-ops as Erin Elizondo says in her letter. If on-campus and near campus were the same, then why are UTWC members so upset about men living there? If they think it's so great near campus, why don't they live there? Thirdly, we would like to discuss the rumors that previous men's sum­ mer houses at UTWC have been trashed. We lived in Gebauer (one of the UTWC houses) last summer, and we can assure you that the house was left in better condition than it was found. We have heard the rumor that men trashed the place from many peo­ ple, but nobody we've heard that from had actually seen the house directly before and after. The notion that men are destined to trash the place is com­ pletely sexist. We hope this clears up at least some of the misconceptions people have. We would like to add that we are dis­ appointed that we received four "horns down" from The Daily Texan. Should we assume that the Texan prefers instituted sexism? Although sexual equality may not be the norm (although we believe that it should be), more inequality certainly won't make conditions any better for anyone. Michael Leibowitz, Electrical and Computer Engineering senior Aaron Poser, Studio Art senior Can't we all get along I was alarmed to see the comments published in the "40 Acres" section of today's Texan regarding the Wom­ en's Co-op issue. The statement was made that the women living with the men who recently won the right to live in the co-op should try to "make their lives miserable." I find this atti­ tude both offensive and dishearten­ ing. In a time when this nation is seeking equality and reconciliation between the genders and the races, such a vindictive spirit cannot be anything but destructive. Perhaps this advice should be extended to everyone ... "if you're a male athlete whose sport cannot go varsity due to Title IX, The Daily Texan would like to suggest that you do everything in your power to make female athlete's lives miser­ able (in the spirit of equal rights and mutual respect)." If residents of the co-op are worried that male residents will be messy or destructive, as Elizondo's Firing Line letter suggests, individuals can be dealt with. I hardly think that such a broad stereotype can really serve as the basis of any enlightened policy. Attacks based on stereotypes (or on nothing at all) will not help matters whatsoever, and publishing these kinds of remarks can only inhibit understanding and widen the crip­ pling gaps in our society. Jonathan Forde Mathematics senior Women are whiny too! You know it7s good to see all these women complain about losing the "tradition" of this co-op to a bunch of vandals and thugs that will trash, damage and harass all the female res­ idents of the new, co-ed co-op. Their arguments against integration just go to show that women can be just as prejudicial and whiny as men when it comes to losing something to the other sex. I just have two words to end this let­ ter: The Citadel. Sanjeev Ambady Electrical Engineering senior Real meaning of equality Would someone please explain to me Miss Erin's eloquent argument for segregation in the co-op? Employing some level of debate that I am unfa­ miliar with, she uses Title EX (stating that programs designed for one gen­ der must be made available to the other) to proclaim that, of course, men should not be allowed to use the wom­ ens' co-op or health center. My basic reaction to this was, "Huh?" How can you take fees from all the students to build a center that is only for women? Men have special health needs, too, you know. How can you maintain in this supposed age of equality that men do not deserve a spot with foe women but must build their own, or move into 'filthy dumps' m West Campus? Get with the program, all you Susan B. Anthonys. Equality does not mean you get to bash men 24/7. It means both sexes accept each other's differ­ ences in an effort to understand and peacefully coexist with each other on this planet. After all, isn't that what the word 'co-operate' means? Emili Cowan Business junior Don't insult the clumsy I find it sad that The Daily Texan does not have any compassion for two students who were rushed to the hos­ pital simply because they lost control of a container. Instead, they decided to imply that the incidents in Welch Chemistry Center this past week were due to some lack of intelligence on the part of the graduate students. I'm sure that these writers have never dropped a bottle or glass in their lives. May I suggest that those who decided to include this idea in their publication consult their course schedule and attend a graduate level course in chemistry. Perhaps then they will be in a better position to judge the intelli­ gence of the UT Chemistry Depart­ ment. Until then, hopefully opinions in The Texan about such matters will be a little less judgmental and will con­ tain some amount of understanding and compassion.

H k l | UNIVERSITY T h e D aily T exan 5 FRDAY, JUIY 8 1 ,1 9 9 8 THE GREAT UTTLEHELD PIPE CLEANERS Eat at Joe’s I Businesses allowed to set up campus displays Amanda Deats Daily Texan Staff B u sin e sse s w ill be allo w ed to advertise their products on campus this fall, as up to 80 vendors will be able to set up displays at the West Mall Marketplace. This will be the first event of its kind since the UT System Board of Regents approved a proposal last August to let vendors and organizations advertise to UT students, faculty and staff, said Francie Frederick, executive secretary to die Board of Regents. The Office of Campus and Commu­ nity Involvement will host the West Mall Marketplace Aug. 25, and another similar fair is planned for next spring. C hery l W ood, stu d en t a ffa irs administrator for Campus and Com­ munity Involvement, said the mar­ ketplace will be lim ited to 80 ven­ dors who will not be allowed to sell anything or take orders for products. Wood, who is also the coordinator of West Mall Marketplace, said the com­ panies' main intent will be to inform students about the products they sell. A d vertisers w ill be required to pay a $125 fee to set up a table on the West Mall. The money raised will go towards staffing the Student O rganization Center, Wood said, adding that the ce n te r n eed s m o n ey to pay for longer operating hours. " It 's a w in-w in situ a tio n ," she said, noting that it would benefit stu d en ts to be in fo rm ed of local businesses and organizations and that the event would help pay for a student resource. Wood said her office is still taking applications from companies wishing to advertise on campus, and the ven­ dors have not yet been determined. To be eligible to set up tables on the West Mall, companies must pro­ vide services com m only used by students, faculty and staff of the University — such as financial insti­ tutions, long-distance telephone car­ riers, u tilitie s, h o u sin g lo cato rs, printers and duplicators, tutors, or employment agencies — according to the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities. Commercial advertising will also be limited to two days each acade­ m ic year, w ith the dates and the number of companies participating left up to the University. Geneva Li, a computer engineer­ ing senior, said she doesn't have a problem with vendors distributing literature, adding that it's a good way in the beginning of the school year that new students can find out what is available to them. Rishi Gupta, an electrical en g i­ neering junior, said it's not a big deal for students to be handed fly­ ers from companies because student organizations do it all the time. "The companies will get a good reaction from students," Gupta said. The University should select compa­ nies which target freshmen students, he said, including banks, newspapers, bookstores and computer stores. W h ile co n cern e d ab o u t the increased traffic that could result from the fair, Xavier Nieto, a history senior, said students would proba­ bly benefit from the marketplace. "It would be a bad thing if they litter, but it sounds like an interest­ ing idea," Nieto said. W orke rs repair pipes inside the Littlefield Fountain.

Charlie Fonville/DAILY TEXAN STAFF Tomfoolery costs Boston fraternity housing license University Wire BOSTON — A Northeastern Uni­ versity fraternity known for its com­ munity service is facing scrutiny for the second time this school year. The city of Brookline's Board of S e le ctm e n re c e n tly re v o k ed Phi Gamma Pi's housing license. Tw o of the fraternity m em bers, sophom ore Justin D aniels, 20, and senior Jeffrey Audet, 23, had been arrested on liq u or law violatio ns and for allegedly firing BB guns at the Ronald M cD onald House next door to their house in May. The selectmen had suspended the license for three months because of a prior incident. By April, only three of the fraternity members were living in the house, including Audet and Pres­ ident Timothy Doherty. "U ntil we prove w e're responsi­ ble adults and we can live responsi­ bly in the town of Brookline, we're not going to get our lodging license back," Doherty said. The Brookline house is now con­ sidered a residence; no more than three unrelated persons are allowed to live there under town law. A fter a Ju d icia l A ffairs ru lin g, D aniels w as placed on probation w ith NU; he m ust w rite an essay about gun safety, attend an alcohol and drug awareness program, and spend 25 hours in community ser­ vice, according to the Boston Globe. The M arch suspension stemmed from a hazing incident in October 1997 d u rin g w h ich a fresh m an pledge was severely paddled. Because of the incident, N orth­ eastern suspended seven members from school for one year and sus­ pended the fraternity for two. The fraternity is not recognized as a stu­ dent organization. As a group, the members cannot participate in uni­ versity activities, including Greek Week, Hom ecom ing and pledging new members until the completion of summer 2000. In order to become reinstated, the members need to spend those two years establishing an alumni advi­ sory board, a lead ership training program and an anti-h azing pro­ g ram . T h ey a lso h av e to m eet monthly with Wendy Kirby, adviser for N U's Greek Council and assis­ tant director of Student Activities. "I think that with a group that's so large, one p erso n can ruin it for everyone," Kirby said. "They [frater­ nities] are organizations that have a large am ount of p eop le in them . There are a lot of opportunities for liability issues to come about." In the July 14 hearing, Brookline's Board of Selectm en recognized the BB-gun incident involved only two m em bers, said D oherty, who is a junior. The selectm en took action against the fratern ity as a w hole because they believed the fraternity could have had stronger discipline, he added. "There's a fine line you have to cross," Doherty said. "You want to be a member that is going to enforce the rules, but at the same time you want to be a friend and confidant — a person who can be there in the time of need for a friend or brother. That's the fine line." As a result of recent events, Phi Gamma Pi evicted Audet from the house. Along with trying to set up new rules and regulations that the town of Brookline will approve, the mem­ bers want to smooth relationships with their neighbors. "W e're also trying to give back to the Brookline community, which we have been d oin g for the p ast 50 years," Doherty said. W hen the fra te rn ity 's lod g in g license was suspended, the m em ­ bers voted on three brothers, whom th ey co n sid ere d to be the m ost resp onsible, to live in the house: Doherty, Audet and senior Brandon Cady. D aniels was not residing in the Brookline house at the time of the in cid en t, and D oherty and Cady were not at the house at the time. Astronomy radio program seeks corporate sponsorship i m QDIpSP Claudia Grisales D aily Texan Staff As its National Science Founda­ tion grant runs out, a UT McDonald Observatory astronomy radio show is looking for corporate sponsorship to continue its explosive growth.

Soon, he may be playing in one. Ambres, a blue-chip quarter­ back recruit for Texas A&M and a first-round draft pick of the Flori­ da Marlins, took batting practice w ith the M arlins prior to a game against the H ouston Astros and came aw ay feeling he belonged. "I wanted to see these guys' atti­ tudes and it was amazing," said Ambres, a native of nearby Beau­ mont. "They are joking with their hats turned around, having fun. They are just like kids having fun playing the game, just like me. It is a dream come true to come here and suit up with these guys." A m bres said he w as aw ed w hen the entire M arlins coaching staff, including m anager Jim Ley- land, came over to say hello. "I thought I'd just come in and meet a couple of players and that w ould be it," Ambres said. "They are all so dow n to earth just like you and me. They d o n 't seem to be too high on them selves." If the M arlins come up w ith the money Ambres is seeking, he'll sign and likely begin his pro career w ith the M elbourne M an­ atees in the Florida State League. If not, he'll report Tuesday to begin w orkouts w ith the Aggies. "Baseball is my fifst love, but the Aggies are definitely still in the picture," Ambres said. "The decision is entirely up to the Marlins. If we can't agree on a contract, I'll just go to college." Ambres hit for about 10 minutes Wednesday night. He popped up several pitches before starting to stroke the ball to the outfield. "I like the way he carries him ­ self," Leyland said. "H e's obvi­ ously a very athletic young man. You can't tell much about one 10- m inute batting practice session, but I know our people are high on him and I hope we can get him. He seems like a nice kid."

Gaskam p, a 6-4, 305-pounder from Weatherford, Okla., was pro­ jected to take the place of departed senior and three-year starter Ryan Fiebiger at center this fall.

Don’t think so I've spent the better part of my week reading about the new Royal- Memorial Stadium student seating flap in the editorial pages of the Texan, and I've come to a startling conclusion: I really don't care. So w hat if 1,200 students get pushed from the lower level to the upper deck in favor of an exclusive "S tadium Club" filled w ith wealthy donors? I've got my seat reserved in the press box, com­ plete w ith air conditioning, cold drinks, and a free lunch. Plus, I've got a great view of the field. I've got a press elevator to whisk me straight to my seat, and there's never a line. And I d id n 't even have to donate any money. Maybe I would care more if it affected more people, but barely over a thousand just isn't enough to tug at my heart strings. Did 1,200 students even attend most of last year's home games? At times the student section seemed emptier than a church on Super Bowl Sunday. Besides, I think moving some students up top has some very pal­ pable benefits. For one, it makes suicide a lot easier should the team Jeff McDonald Texan Columnist lose its second home game of the year by a score of 66-3. I tried killing myself at the UCLA game last year, but that d am Plexiglas m ade things quite difficult. W hat's more, it doesn't always pay to be so close to the action. I'm sure w e've all heard about the auto-racing tragedy that happened in Michigan last weekend, when flying car parts killed three specta­ tors. One of these days Hodges Mitchell is really going to get lit up on a kick return, and those of you in the upper deck will be glad you're out of harm 's way. Then there are all the prom o­ tional ideas that could make it a lit­ tle more enjoyable to be so high. How about Box 'o Kleenex day, to help w ith the nosebleeds?

He prom ises h e's staying calm about it all. Gailey, who replaced Barr)’ Switzer following a disastrous 6-10 season, was offensive coordinator for the Pitts­ burgh Steelers. He's a former head coach of the Birmingham Fire of the old World League and once took Troy State to the NCAA Division II national title. He said he w as trying to treat his first game as a Cowboys coach just like any other game. "Maybe fireworks are supposed to go off," he said, "but if I go out there all goose-bumpy I'll have a hard time lead­ ing the team in the clutch. I've got a job to do and how can the team plav if I'm pinching myself because* I'm in Texas Stadium? I want us to win but I'm not going to be turning cartwheels."

Floyd gave the Marlins a quick 3- 0 lead with his home run in tíre first inning off Shane Reynolds (12-7). Edgar Renteria singled with one out, and Todd Zeile walked w ith two outs prior to Floyd's 15th homer. "Lately I've been dragging the bat," Floyd said. "It's not because I'm tired. I'm just not thinking w hen I'm u p there. But w hen Livan is in, I play my best." H ernandez (9-7) struck out seven and w alked three. He struck out Ricky Gutierrez with runners on first and second to end the game. "I felt good, I had good control on all pitches, fastball, slider and curve," H ern and ez said. "I'v e throw n this well before. But this was a good game because it was against a very good team." Hernandez retired the first seven batters before Tony Eusebio homered on a 2-0 pitch to start the third inning. He pitched into the seventh inning for the 12th time in his last 13 starts.

My cousins said I should name him Mr. Pig. But I really wanted to name him Thomas because o f a train show on tv. So I told them I would make his nickname be Mr. Pig. Since it was my birthday it was my freeday. I called my friend Anna and asked her to come over to see my new pet. As that year went by I got Thomas' trust, and we spent lots of time together. Then there were times I had to be away from home so my mom suggested I ask one of my friends to babysit. I asked around until I found the right per­ son, Andy. He babysits lots of pets all the time. He became my official sitter. Another year went by. Everybody seemed to call him Mr. Pig instead of Thomas, so I joined in. W hen he was 3 years old, I started really talk­ ing with him. But then I realized he wasn't a baby any more. Then in March he became ill. He would­ n't move around much or talk to me. Then his eyes got all gunky, and he wouldn't eat or drink. My mom called the vet. He said to clean his eyes, so we did that. • • The next morning when I woke up he wasn't there. My mom told me that Mr. Pig was really sick, and my dad took him to the vet. The next night he died. I was so sad I cried all day and all night. Almost a year has gone by, and I still miss hin).' Every once in awhile I look out my window at his grave and say to myself, I did the best I could. My green parakeet By Lara Case, 10 Robert E. Lee School My favorite pet is a bright green parakeet. I don't have him yet, but I will get him in November. I know exactly what I'll buy for him at the store — parakeet treats, parakeet seeds, special match­ ing food and water containers and a big cage. I can't wait for November. A calico cat By M onica Castaneda, 9 Perry .Elementary, Port Isabel I would like to introduce you to Scarlet, my favorite pet. She was given to me by my dad's friend. She is a calico cat. W hen she was only a baby we kept her inside. Now we keep her outside. She had her first litter of kittens when I was 7 1/2 years old; she had her sec­ ond litter when I was 9. The kittens are so beautiful. I LOVE SCARLETT! A yellow and white terrier By Benjamin Stmad, 11 Oakhill School My favorite pet is a dog named Duke. He is a white terrier with a yellow stripe down his back. He is very funny. W hen you clap your hands he runs around the house really fast. W hen I got him he was about one foot long. My mom said that he looked like a white rat! The only bad thing about him is that he has a sickness that makes him eat everything that he can get in his mouth. This is very annoying. Once I caught him eat­ ing a grasshopper! I really like my dog, Duke. By Zell Barnes, Lara Case, Benjamin Stmad, Daniel Valvano A panda bear walked into a restaurant and ordered dinner. W hen he was finished eating, the water came and gave him his bill. The panda paid it and shot the waiter, then he left the restaurant. Later, when he was being questioned, police asked the panda why he did it. The panda said, "Look in the dictionary. It says the panda eats shoots and leaves."

A: So the other one could drive Science Dark Matter By Don Jolly, 11 St. Frances School Dark matter - a theoretical form of matter/about nothing/void/physical manifestation of nothing. All of these are definitions of dark matter. Even though its existence cannot be proven, we have strong evidence to support it. Thinking of a physical manifestation of void is a bit harder than thinking about a double play in baseball, so to simplify this first think of a liquid, like water. Now to make it more complicated imagine anti-liquid, or a form of anti-matter liquid, or, as I call it DML (Dark Matter Liquid). This theoretically proves that dark mat­ ter is not anti-matter, or, that dark matter does not exist. So you have a pot of DML. If you were to drop a baseball in the pot, it would be a good deal like drop­ ping a baseball in a swimming pool. The baseball, as it fell, would push the DML out of the way. If dark matter were anti-matter, the positive baseball and the negative DML would combust. This experiment applies on a planetary scale lit­ erally. Earth is a solid. I'm not debating that. But a solid is positive matter, and if dark matter is absolute void and space is absolute void, and if the earth hangs in space, if dark matter is anti-matter, shouldn't there be a boom? The two routes we can derive from this are either dark matter is not anti-matter or it does not exist. by Preston Schaub, 10 Kidz Get Around Europe My favorite trip was when I went to Europe. For one thing, I got to fly on an airplane, part of the time even in first class. For another thing, all of the sights were really beautiful because everything was so old. I mean, even the McDonald's was in a really old building. The only things I didn't like was that for one, everything was very expensive. Also, lots of people there smoke a whole bunch, so almost everywhere you go, you are breathing in smoke. It gets really annoying! - Robynn Warren, 10 Australia My favorite trip is when I went to Australia I liked it because I got to go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. I also went to the Sydney Orchestra building. The coolest thing I saw was the koala bears and wallabies. The funniest thing was the beach - the waves were 10 feet high! What a trip! - Ming Dang., 10 KidzFlix By April Lind, 10, Leander Deep Impact, PG 13 This is a great movie! Elijha Wood does some really good acting. You really should see it, but don't go without your tissues. I give it 3.5 stars and recom ­ mend it for ages 10 and older. Dr. Doolittle, PG 13 This movie is so funny! Eddie Murphy is at his all-time best. The only down side is there is some inappropriate language. I give it 4 stars and recom­ mend it for ages 9 and older. Madeline, PG This is a good movie for kids to see. Hattie does wonderful acting. I give it 3 stars and recom­ mend it for ages 3 and older. The Truman Show, PG This is a very good movie. Jim Carrey does some extraordinary acting. I give it 4 stars and rec­ ommend it for ages 5 and older. v Ricky Williams - Sketch by Preston Schaub, 10 WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN ALASKA By Emily Yen s e a 1 i o n w s b g O d s n a e o a k i m s u e b e k a 1 1 d e g o 1 d y s e b a c d o m o o t t r e e e d t r r e n o c t g d k s k i 1 i o w c i n a t a s h o w r w t u n s a s r a u u 1 P e e r c r s t a i h 1 g i e f t r c a b u n a b g i r e e d t c r a r b u i o s c g o a t e g i o e u X P b e 1 a 1 i e a i 1 m n s d o e a g 1 e s c i a a o i u k s c i a m o a t m c h y f b b i e a o u t 8 P i n e f e f m t m c k i n 1 e y u u r 1 a h o w s o m o e r a i P n t t r n o w s m w a r t t u i t i i i 1. sealion 2. halibut 3. salmon 4.

First, you mix some good cops with some corrupt cops. Second, add a hostage situation (preferably set in a skyscraper), and mix these two ingre­ dients with stolen money, machine guns and the FBI. This blueprint for an action movie is closely followed by the creators of The Negotiator. This thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey gives audiences all that they nave come to expect, but also adds a few extra ingre­ dients to the mix. The extra ingredients come in the form of two actors whose talents trans­ form a generic action movie into an ingenious display of acting ability. Academy Award Nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, A Time to Kill) plays Danny Roman, an expert hostage negotiator with an inclination towards adventurous situations. These inclina- Samuel L. Jackson plays a cop who takes the police hostage. THE NEGOTIATOR Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey Director: Gary Gray Playing at Tinseltown South, Riverside Rating: ★ ★ ★ (out of five) tions earn him popularity, honor and praise while working for the Chicago Police Department. When his fellow police officers frame Jackson for their own embezzle­ ments from the police retirement fund, he takes hostages and must use his skills against the police department in order to save himself. As expected, Jackson decides to go crazy and "take his life back" at the top of one of the highest skyscrapers in Chicago. It also happens to be a federal building, which forces the FBI into the plot. While Roman closely guards his four hostages, police officers from his former precinct struggle with the FBI and their own lack of knowledge in hostage situations. It is at this point that Jackson refuses to speak to anyone except Chris Sabian played by Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, L.A. Confi­ dential). Spacey plays Chicago's other bril­ liant hostage negotiator. The plot develops into a battle of wits matching Jackson against Spacey. Each knows how to play the negotiating game, but neither is willing to give an inch to the other. The discussions between the two negotiators lead Spacey to uncover the truth behind Jackson's allegations regarding the embezzlement of the police retirement funds. The interesting part of the battle between Jackson and Spacey is that they are both protagonists, the enemy has not yet been discovered. This leads to file strange feeling of not knowing exactly who to root for in the film for a long stretch of time. Instead of the stan­ Kevin Spacey leads his hostage group trying to defuse a volatile Samuel L. Jackson. dard good-guy-versus-bad-guy plot, The N egotiator is simply two good guys talking to each other. The dia­ logue between these two characters is by far the most enjoyable aspect of the movie. The original screenplay by Larry Ferguson (The Hunt for Red October) originally had much more dialogue and much less action. Spacey claims that this mixture was what made him accept the role. U nfortunately, as filming progressed, director F. Gary Grey (Set It Off) added much more action, probably to please the sum­ mer moviegoer's need for blood. M o re sm a rt d ia lo g u e w o u ld h a v e b ee n p r e c is e ly w h at T he Negotiator needed in order to stand out above the m yriad D ie-H ard- type movies that have been invad­ ing theaters in the last few years. With only a few new twists, The N eg o tia to r la ck s o rig in a lity and regurgitates the same basic action movie ingredients that have been used for y ears. L u ck ily th e d ia ­ logue duel between the immensely talented Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson adds the spice necessary to m ak e a s e m i-e n te r ta in in g th r ille r . A lth o u g h th is a c tio n - movie recipe has become dull and unsatisfying, The Negotiator proves that by adding a little dialogue and a lot of talent, it can still work. sound bite TRACES OF MY LIPSTICK By: Xscape label: SoSo Def Rating: ★/? (out of five) When you get right down to it, Xscape has never been a group known for ballads. Though the band features a wonderfully gift­ ed quartet of women, the group has been par­ tial to upbeat R & B stylings. The new Xscape album, Traces O f My Lip­ stick, is a collection of steamy ballads and sex tales, but it comes off sounding more like adult-contemporary than R & B. The album opens with "A ll About Me Intro," a hip-hop-flavored number. Upon hearing this track, listeners wrongly anticipate the rest of the album to be the same. Unfortu­ nately, this is one of the most inconsistent R & B albums to come out in recent memory. The next track on the album, "Softest Place on Earth," is an obvious metaphor for the group's vaginas (though collectively or indi­ vidually is a matter of personal opinion). The song is a seductive story of romantic ecstasy, with all sorts of high-pitched moaning. This song contains wonderful vocal arrangements and is by far the catchiest tune on the album. The song "Do you know" is perfect food for the lover of musical melodrama. It discusses the girl's weakness for a lover and the feeling that accompanies that weakness. It is typical romantic fluff. Evidently, Xscape, a group more famous for upbeat hip-hop-flavored music, is trying to impress a larger number of people by incor­ porating a larger number of ballads into their m usic. W hile this may be an adm irable stretch, it still fails miserably. The album also features two songs written by two of the world's most successful song­ writers, Diane Warren and Kenneth "Baby- face" Evans. The album's lead-off single is written by Warren in the grandiose style that is her trade­ mark. It should be noted that Warren has written phenom enally popular songs for Aerosmith, Toni Braxton, and Celine Dion. "The arms of the one who loves you" is a commercially crafted track that is adult-con­ temporary at its most obvious. The song is adequately w ritten and beau tifully p er­ formed, hence its pop success. The Babyface-produced track, "Your Eyes," is a piece of crap, beneath Babyface and Xscape. The vocals are great, but the drum programs overwhelm them. Traces o f my lipstick is an admirable attempt by a talented group and will probably be a commercial success. Unfortunately, the poorly structured work by the producers clouds any potential new strides that the group might have taken. This may be the fault of the group or the producers, but may simply prove that Xscape should stick to the path that has given them success. —Mervm Malone ]r. “ A bizzarre and ingeniously paranoid thriller” -Janet Mastn.

I actually find it rather ironic that there was such a swift backlash to this proposal anyway. Texas A&M has been putting its students in the upper deck for years, and then forcing them to sway back and forth violently dur­ ing the Aggie War Hymn. Now that's really putting students at risk, given the rickety state of Kyle Field. Keep in mind these are the the same students who went downright ballistic when administration tried to move the graves of some impor­ tant dead dogs last summer. And is anybody really surprised that $1,250 gets you a better seat at a football game? If so, you need to enroll in a couple of business cours­ es, you communist. So you see, I agree with Associate Athletics Director Chris Plonsky when she says that Joe Student should be "ecstatic" with the new arrangement. Overall there will be more student tickets, not that they were ever all used anyway. There will be more of a breeze on the upper deck, thus deflecting the heat emanated from Sir Parker's comet tail when A&M comes to town in November. And finally someone will be able to read the signs attatched to those airplanes that seem to conveniently fly overhead every game day. In fact, the only comment Plonsky has made that I do not support is this one: "The students are not getting hammered in any way, shape, or form." Obviously she has never been in the student section of the stadium on game night, when the bleachers smell like the Kennedy compound on New Year's Eve. This begs the ques­ tion: How do you go about getting a keg of Pearl Light to the cheap seats? In all, though, the arrangement isn't one to lose sleep over. Let's just see how it goes, and then complain later. If you want to reach me, all you upper-deckers, I'll be a couple hun­ dred feet below you, sipping a Coke, Stretching out and trying to deter­ mine what the fuss is all about. U.S.A. Continued from page 7 cans] play, which is powerful, phys­ ical basketball," Karnisovas said. "We wanted to be very aggressive and run the ball. That's why we stayed in the game and that's why we won. We came out and played like they do." The Lithuanians outran the Americans and led 47-34 at half- time. "Karnisovas was a big factor, driving and slashing for the basket," Tom- janovich said. "They played a very pos­ itive, offensive game. By the time we got it under control, it was too late." Beating the Americans is a big accomplishment in world basket­ ball and — if anyone needed reminding — it's easier when the United States fields anything but its best players. Lithuania took bronze behind the Dream Team in the Barcelona and Atlanta Olympics, but failed to reach the '94 worlds. Granted, this isn't the best U.S. team — but it isn't the best Lithuan­ ian team either. Zydrunas Ilgauskas of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers isn't playing because of an injury and Portland Trail Blazers center Arvy- das Sabonis no longer plays with the national team because of injuries. Donn Nelson, the Dallas Maver­ icks assistant who has worked as an assistant for Lithuania for six sea­ sons, was not surprised. "Except for Arturas and [center] Gintaras Einikis, this is a very young team, but now they believe they can beat anybody," Nelson said. Astros Continued from page 7 the ball," Astros manager Larry Dierker said. "He moved the ball around, changed speeds and made better pitches when he was in trou­ ble." The Marlins went ahead 4-1 in the fifth when Craig Counsell beat out an infield hit when Reynolds could­ n't get to the bag in time for a throw 'from first baseman Jeff Bagwell. Counsell reached second on second baseman Craig Biggio's error and scored on a double by Todd Dun- woody. It proved to be the game winning run. "It's frustrating to lose a close game when you can think about a lot of ways that you could have won the game," Dierker said. "The story of that [fifth] inning was not cover­ ing first. It happens to the best, but I've never seen it happen to Shane." Carl Everett started the Astros fifth with his 11th homer, cutting Florida's lead to 4-2. Bill Spiers dou­ bled and scored on Jeff Bagwell's sacrifice fly, cutting the lead to 4-3 in the sixth inning. Cowboys Continued from page 7 ate where we are," Smith said. "It will be good for us to be hitting somebody else for a change." Added wide receiver Billy Davisr "We need to play against somebody else. It's getting where our defense knows all our plays."
