Decreasing state appropri­ ations have been partially supple­ mented by more than $400 million in federal funding and an 11-percent increase in private philanthropy from last year, Powers said. To address diminishing state appropriations, which current­ ly make up about 20 percent of the University's funding, Powers has teamed up with Texas A&M University President Bob Gates for a series of talks with Texas legisla­ tors and other civic leaders about the need for more state funding at their campuses, he said. The program, called Horns and Aggies Together for a Change, kicked off Wednesday in Midland. "Our two campuses teach close to 100,000 students at any given time, and we are continuing to make tremendous contributions to the state, yet over the past decade, state support for our two campuses has not kept up with the cost of liv­ ing," Powers said. Tuition revenue bonds, recently approved by the Texas Legislature in a special session, will hind much-needed renovations to the Experimental Science Building, a project that is moving forward, Powers said.

The nationwide average gradua­ tion rate for student athletes is now 77 percent, up 1 percentage point from a similar report last year. : The report is based on gradu­ ation results of freshman classes from 19% through 1999 at Division I schools, and it reflects the percent­ age of those student athletes gradu­ ating in six years. The report also considers transfer students. "We are continuing to make steady success in graduation rates," said Myles Brand, NCAA presi­ dent. "The trend lines are up in all areas, with a few exceptions of some teams that still have some work to do." Brand said he hopes to raise the national graduation success rate to 80 percent within five years. "Good enough is never good enough, whether it's in athletics or in academics, and I believe we can stretch it even further," he said. NCAA officials said the success rate is a key indicator of the aca­ demic health of many university athletics programs.

Tour addresses fiscal issues By Joshua Winata Daily Texan Staff The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour rolled into Austin Thursday and gener­ ate dialogue about the nation's long-term fiscal sustainability. The tour addressed grow ­ ing federal budget imbalances, which could result in a danger­ ously high deficit burden for future generations. The prima­ ry concern was the expanding costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which currently comprise 42 percent of federal government spending, according to Congressional Budget Office reports. The panel of featured speak­ ers included U.S. Comptroller General David Walker; Harry Zeeve, national field director for the Concord Coalition; Alison Fraser, director of the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation; Diane Rogers, research director for Budgeting for National Priorities at The Brookings Institution; and UT accounting professor Michael Granof.

Five UT sports showed 100 percent graduation success rates. "Even in sports that have tra­ ditionally lagged behind, we're seeing improvement," said Nick Voinis, UT senior associate ath­ letics director for communica­ tions. "These sports are unique because of the professional opportunities involved." said Voinis comparisons between all UT students and stu­ dent athletes showed good per­ formance. The total graduation rates for all students entering UT between 19% and 1999 was 73 percent, while 75 percent of stu­ dent athletes graduated, he said. He said the low rates in football could be attributed to a coaching change in 1997, and he expects a graduation rate between 60 percent and 70 percent from the 2001 football recruiting class. "It's never as good as you want it, but we're moving in the right direction. We're working really hard on it, and the future trend is moving in a positive direction," Voinis said.

"D o not underestimate the power of a phone call to your dis­ trict's office," Fraser said. "They really pay attention." Walker also emphasized the importance of strong leadership from the executive branch and from both parties in Congress. "We want to make sure that any candidate for the presidency is forced to face fiscal responsibil­ ity," Walker said. The speakers, com ing from a broad range of ideological ^back­ grounds, focused on acknow l­ edging common problems, goals and choices, Fraser said. By not endorsing a particular solution, the speakers said they hoped to eliminate any political agenda. "The best way to make hard choices is through a bipartisan process with all the options on the table," Zeeve said. "W e want to create a demand for solutions," Rogers said. The stop in Austin has been the busiest one of the tour, Zeeve said. The tour kicked off with a breakfast with business leaders at the Driskill Hotel, followed by a free luncheon with students and faculty at the McCombs School of Business. The evening ended with a public roundtable held at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs that was open to the public. The Austin is the 13th stop in the nationwide tour. "W e've been gratified by the response w e've gotten, city after city," Zeeve said, citing a "good cross section" of attendees politi­ cally, econom ically and demo- graphically. 123: TRBs to help ESB From page 1A and a pediatric research institute. Powers recently testified before the Texas Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education about capping the top 10 percent rule. Powers said the law is not as necessary for improving diversity since the U.S. Supreme Court approved allow­ ing universities to use ethnicity as a factor in admissions in 2003 "From the class of 2006, 71 per­ cent of the graduates from Texas were admitted under the top 10 percent rule. It is unhealthy to have that large a percentage of our class admitted using only one criteria," Powers said. He said he would like for top 10 percent admissions to make up closer to 40 percent or 50 per­ cent of UT admissions, leaving the University plenty of flexibility to admit more students based on a more holistic review.

Worn d& N ai T h e D a i l y T k x a n Congress delves into HP drama By M a rc y G o rd o n The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The saga of Hewlett-Packard Co.'s spying scandal — which has toppled the com pany's chairwoman, two other directors and at least two high-ranking executives — deep­ ened intrigue Thursday as lawmakers exploring the imbro­ glio summoned comparisons to Watergate and Enron. in C om m erce Members of the House Energy C om m ittee and demanded to know how inves­ tigators for the respected Silicon Valley anchor could use tawdry tactics such as "pretexting," or im personating HP directors, em ployees and to obtain their phone records. journalists In one key document cited by the panel, an HP investigator had warned higher-ups, including the com pany's now-fired chief eth­ ics officer, that the methods used to find the source of boardroom leaks were possibly illegal and at the very least could damage the com pany's reputation. involved But few answers emerged. Ten people in the cloak- and-dagger operation — includ­ ing the former ethics officer and General Counsel Ann Baskins, who resigned Thursday — assert­ ed their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refus­ ing to answer questions. The panel heard from CEO Mark Hurd, who replaced Patricia Dunn as chair last week. He apol­ ogized for the investigatory tactics but denied having direct knowl­ edge of the probe's methods. "If Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were alive today, they'd be appalled," he said, referring to the com pany's revered founders. Hurd said Dunn had told him of the existence of the investiga­ tion, but he was not involved in the probe itself. Earlier, during hours of ques­ tioning, Dunn stumbled at times and corrected herself when asked how much she knew of Ousted Hewlett-Packard chairwoman Patricia Dunn, right, testifies Thursday at the House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington.

H P's outside "If I knew then what I know now, I would have done things very differently," Dunn said. Still, she said, "I do not accept personal responsibility for what happened." She said it wasn't until July that she became aware that pretexting was part of the "standard arsenal" of the investigators' tactics. "I dispute having ever under­ stood or being told that the fraud­ ulent use of identity was ever a part of this investigation," Dunn insisted. Like other HP directors and journalists who were targeted in the probe, she, too, ended up being pretexted, Dunn said. Fred Adler, an investigator in the com oanv's securitv denart- lawyer, Larry Sonsini, who appeared with Dunn, insisted that contrary to recent news reports, he never took the position that pretexting is legal. He also testified he and his firm were "not involved in the design or conduct of the investigations." Lawmakers on the committee expressed outrage at HP's actions and disbelief that Dunn and others didn't realize that obtaining person­ al phone records from people with­ out their consent could be illegal. In addition to pretexting, com­ pany investigators surveilled their subjects and their relatives, sifted through their garbage and sent an e-mail with tracing technology in an attempt to dupe one reporter. "We have before us witnesses from Hewlett-Packard to discuss a plumbers operation that would make Richard Nixon blush were he still alive," Democratic Rep. John Dingell of Michigan said. Other lawmakers said the situa­ tion was reminiscent of the Enron Corp. debacle, in which top man­ agement claimed not to know of serious wrongdoing that ultimate­ ly brought the company down. The panel members said the com­ parison was especially disappoint­ ing considering that HP, a 67-year- old computer and printer maker, has a reputation for integrity. "It's a sad day for this proud company," said Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado, the panel's senior Democrat. "Something has really gone wrong at this institution." inquiry by the House com m ittee, federal and California prosecutors are investi­ gating whether com pany insiders or outside investigators broke the law. Besides the Senate approves Bush’s terror detainee bill By A n n e P lu m m e r F la h e rty The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday endorsed President Bush's plans to prosecute and interrogate terror suspects, all but sealing congressional approval for legislation that Republicans intend to use on the campaign trail to assert their toughness on terrorism. identical The 65-34 vote means the bill could reach the president's desk by week's end. The House passed nearly legislation on Wednesday and was expected to approve the Senate bill on Friday, sending it on to the White House. The bill would create military commissions to prosecute terror­ ism suspects. It also would pro­ hibit blatant abuses of detainees but grant the president flexibility to decide what interrogation tech­ niques are legally permissible. The W hite House and its sup­ porters have called the measure crucial in the anti-terror fight, but some Democrats said it left the door open to abuse, violating the U.S. Constitution in the name of protecting Americans. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who helped draft the legislation during negotiations with the White House, said the measure would set up a system for treating detainees that the nation could be proud of. He said the goal "is to render justice to the terrorists, even though they will not render justice to us." to m uscle Democrats said the Republicans' rush the m easure through Congress was aimed at giving them something to tout during the campaign, in which control of the House and Senate are at stake. "There is no question that the rush to pass this bill — which is the product of secret negotiations with the White House — is about serving a political agenda," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. Senate approval was the latest step in the remarkable journey that Bush has taken in shaping how the United States treats the terror­ ism suspects it has been holding, some for almost five years. The Supreme Court nullified Bush's initial system for trying detainees in June, and earlier this month a handful of maverick GOP senators embarrassed the presi­ dent by forcing him to slightly tone down his next proposal. But they struck a deal last week, and the president and congressional Republicans are now claiming the episode as a victory. While Democrats warned the bill could open the way for abuse, Republicans said defeating the bill would put the country at risk of another terrorist attack. "We are not conducting a law enforcement operation against a check-writing scam or trying to foil a bank heist," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "We are at war against extremists who want to kill our citizens." Approving the bill before lawmakers leave for the elec­ tions has been a top priority for Republicans. GOP leaders fought off attempts by Democrats and a lone Republican to change the bill, ensuring swift passage. By mostly party-line votes, the Senate rejected Democratic efforts to limit the bill to five years, to require frequent reports from the administration on the CIA's inter­ rogations and to add a list of for­ bidden interrogation techniques. The legislation could let Bush begin prosecuting terrorists con­ nected to the Sept. 11 attacks just as voters head to the polls, and let Republicans use oppo­ sition by D em ocrats as fodder for criticizing them during the campaign. "Som e want to tie the hands of our terror fighters," said Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., allud­ ing to opponents of the bill. "T hey want to take aw ay the tools we use to fight terror, to handcuff us, to ham per us in our fight to protect our fam ilies."

Sheriff Fred Wegener said the assaults went beyond touching or fondling. "It was pretty horrific," Wegener said, without elaborating. The killer was identified as 53-year-old Duane Morrison, a petty criminal who had a Denver address but had apparently been living in his battered yellow Jeep when he walked inside the school Wednesday with tw o handguns and a backpack that he claimed contained a bomb. Investigators did not immediately say what was in the backpack. During the dramatic siege that followed, Morrison fired at the SWAT officers, shot 16-year-old Emily Keyes in the back of the head as she tried to run away, and then killed himself, authorities said. Morrison was shot by officers several times during the light­ ning-fast gun battle, police said. Government moves to tie up money linked to drug group WASHINGTON — The Bush administration moved Thursday to financially paralyze nine people suspected of having links to a Colombian group that the United States says traffics in drugs and terror. The action by the Treasury Department means that any assets belonging to those people found in the United States must be blocked and that Americans are forbidden to do business with them. Six of the nine people sus­ pected of links to FARC, or the Rolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia were indicted by a fed­ eral court in Washington as part of a narcotics conspiracy, the depart­ ment said. Separately, the department acted to block the financial assets of five Mexican companies. Dow Jones reaches highest average in nearly 7 years NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average reached a mile­ stone Thursday in Wall Street's nearly seven-year recovery from corporate upheaval, economic recession and terrorism, briefly trading above its record high close of 11,722.98 set on Jan. 14, 2000. The index of 30 blue chip stocks surpassed its record, rising to a high of 11,728.46 in early morning trading.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld hailed the change as a "bold step forward." NATO-led troops took com­ mand of the southern portion of Afghanistan just two months ago and have been struggling to stem the escalating violence there. This plan would extend their control to the eastern section, which U.S. troops now command. The move is expected to take place in the next few weeks, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said. Al-Qaida calls for insurgents to kidnap Westerners BAGHDAD, Iraq — Al-Qaida in Iraq's leader, in a chilling audio­ tape released Thursday, called for nuclear scientists to join his group's holy war and urged insurgents to kidnap Westerners so they could be traded for an Egyptian sheik who is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison. The fugitive terror chief said experts in the fields of "chemistry, physics, electronics, media and all other sciences — especially nuclear scientists and explosives experts" should join his group's jihad, or holy war, against the West. On the tape, al-Masri offered amnesty during Ramadan to Iraqis who cooperated with their country's "occupiers." He also said more than 4,000 foreign militants have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 — the first known statement from the insurgents about their death toll. Berlin talks end with no deal on Iran's nuclear program TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's hard­ line president on Thursday again rejected demands that Tehran suspend uranium enrichment, even as top Iranian and European diplomats sounded somewhat optimistic about making progress toward starting negotiations. Iranian and European envoys ended two days of talks in Berlin with no agreement on the enrich­ ment issue but insisted they had "come to some positive conclu­ sions" on ways to open broader talks on Iran's nuclear program. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad showed no sign of compromise over the U.N. Security Council's demand that his government suspend enrich­ ment. Pakistani leader pledges to defeat Afghani insurgents LONDON — The leaders of Britain and Pakistan pledged their commitment Thursday to defeat­ ing insurgents in Afghanistan, brushing aside a leaked British military document that claimed Islamabad's security forces are indi­ rectly supporting terrorist groups.

To survive in the free market, you must embrace it. Consequently, UT has adapted in many ways to continually provide a world-class education while control­ ling tuition increases. From sponsor­ ships at the business school to research partnerships that bring funding and research opportunities, while making American companies stronger, UT has learned to prosper in an open market rather than futilely attempt to fight it. One of UT's most progressive poli­ cies was its decision to be the United States' first public university to priva­ tize its endowment fund in 1996 by cre­ ating UTIMCO, following the example of successful funds such as Harvard's. Since then, other public universities have followed suit, and the reasons why are clear. Universities that use internal fund management with burdensome bureaucratic oversight have difficulty attracting sophisticated and experi­ enced investors because their com­ pensation is inferior. And while inter­ nal investors would be subject to the politics and interests of the University hierarchy and colleagues, a private investor just wants one thing: a bigger bonus, which is only gained by bring­ ing a client strong returns. UTIMCO has indeed delivered, and in the past 10 years its two core funds, the Permanent University Fund and the Long-Term fund, have averaged annual growth rates of 9.87 percent and 10.47 percent, respectively, beating the market averages. This is impres­ sive for a fund with operating costs of only 0.26 percent of assets. that Detractors cite the higher returns are a result of increased risk, which would endanger the endow­ ment, but an internally controlled fund wouldn't necessarily be less risky. In fact, the funds have less expected risk than average, thanks to diversification and derivative techniques employed by managers that only a private fund could attract. The only risk-free option, investment in government bonds, would yield returns covering little more than inflation, leaving a pittance to fund University operations. As UTIMCO produces higher gains, tuition increases can be smaller and reduced state support can be com­ pensated for without reducing the quality of education. Unfortunately, UTIMCO has been the recipient of much criticism. Most of these attacks are focused on a lack of transparency and pressure for the fund to divest in companies with "dubious" practices. Because the goal of UT's endow­ ment fund is to provide resources to the University, the sole purpose of managing the fund should be to bring strong returns, not promote social or political viewpoints. Not only is it dif­ ficult to set guidelines that everyone could agree on, but holding the fund accountable to subjective measures, such as the ethical behavior of firms it invests in, would serve only to com­ plicate the fund's operation, restrict its options and ultimately harm UT's goal of maximizing its endowment's financial benefits. If a student wants to protest the actions of a specific company, he should organize a rally or write an article in the paper, not ask to jeopar­ dize the school's financial health. These are not the types of motives for which transparency should be added. Further layers of oversight would just confuse the fund's mis­ sion and expand the scope of special interests that could influence the fund and expose it further to corruption. In order to have the advantages stated earlier, UTIMCO's independence and freedom must be protected. Even so, the fund is held to more oversight and safety rules than Texas law mandates, meaning it should be ahead of the industry in transparen­ cy. Anyone interested in information such as performance, financial state­ ments and fund composition can go to UTIMCO's Web site. You can even find a list of companies the fund has invested in at utzvatch.org. On top of this, the fund is subject to the most reliable standard: performance. This provides a measure of transparency no board of oversight or concerned student could offer. If the fund or its managers consis­ tently under-perform, whether it is by incompetence or corruption, UT could easily pull the plug and put its endow­ ment in a different fund. UTIMCO's power ultimately lies with UT's regents and executives who have been entrusted with serving our University to the best of their ability, so students should not fear that UT's interests will be compromised. Because UT is its sole client, the fund is inherently accountable and transparent to the University and has proven its right to exist independently through both principle and perfor­ mance.

Fund should offset more costs By Harrison James Powers Daily Texan Columnist This year, students at UT will face a 10 percent increase in tuition costs to help cover decreasing state appropria­ tions and increasing enroll­ ment. But why should these costs fall to the students, and where is the UT endowment? The University of Texas Investm ent M anagem ent Company, created in 1996 by virtue of Tom Hicks, manages some of the University's larg­ est assets. Hicks, the Dallas billion­ aire and investment banker, generously donated $146,000 to Gov. Bush in 1994, who rewarded him with legisla­ tion to create UTIMCO. include The company's most impor­ the tant holdings Permanent University Fund (PUF), valued at around $9 billion, the Permanent Health Fund, Long Term Fund and the Short Intermediate Term Fund. The PUF was created in 1876 to help cover the costs of running the University, which is why the cost of attending UT has been rela­ tively inexpensive for so long. UTIMCO's purpose, in the­ ory, is to thoughtfully invest Since last year, the PUF has realized a gain of nearly $1 billion, and we as students have suffered an increase of 10 percent in tuition costs. UT's assets to realize gains. However, this has not been the case. UTIMCO, which suffered a $1 billion loss in 2004, has not demonstrated itself as a com­ petent and transparent man­ ager of money. The company operates in near secrecy, a policy reminiscent of Enron. W hen including interested par­ ties, the Texas Legislature, began pushing for the revelation of investment practices in 1999, a series of patronage investments were uncovered. UTIMCO had invested $525 million into companies run by Hicks' associates and other major GOP donors. After these discoveries were investigated by the Houston Chronicle, Hicks resigned from the board in 1999. This is not their money. They have the obligation to put sound investment deci­ sions above cronyism and partisanship. It is true that there have been recent significant finan­ cial gains in the PUF, but there were investment gains in Enron even though it went bankrupt some time later. These are public investments and should not be treated pri­ vately. UTIMCO seems to believe that loyalty and cronyism are safer investments than intel­ ligent research. The invest­ ment practices of UTIMCO might suffice for short-term gains, however opaque busi­ ness dealings inevitably lead to failure and loss. The gains in the PUF have not benefited the students. Since last year, the PUF has realized a gain of about 8.39 percent, nearly $1 billion, and we as students have suffered an increase of 10 percent in tuition costs. Some of the publicly invested money in UTIMCO should go to curb the cost of tuition increas­ es. If this money cannot come from the PUF, which supplies scholarship program money, then it should be pulled from other UT funds that UTIMCO manages. Transparency in busi­ ness practices would allow the public to better control where funds are allocated. Part of the problem is that UT has grown too large and investment practices have not adapted to accommodate it. Construction of new build­ ings is inherently expensive and unnecessary. The money that should be used to offset the cost of tuition is paying for expansions and renova­ tions on buildings to accom­ modate new students. The cost of education should fall as little as pos­ sible on the student. If we are to truly realize equality in education, we should look beyond the quick fixes of affir­ mative action and the top 10 percent rule, neither of which guarantee higher standards of education, and instead look to make college financially accessible to all. To accomplish this we need an economic and fiscal pro­ gram that is transparent and productive. The new ethics standards recently enacted by UTIMCO are a step in the right direction, but we need to be guaranteed that UTIMCO will not mismanage tax dol­ lars and generous donations. We need public disclosure. Powers is a Plan II and classics freshman. Young East Austin, in motion By Francesca Fraga Daily Texan Columnist As I passed the signs for the lavateria and carniceria, 1 was reminded that places, such as these, are a product of the people. I was on my way to la pulga, the flea market in East Austin I never found, but instead encountered a neigh­ borhood. Pleasant Valley Road emits a pulsating community vibe. I looked at the houses and could guess the character of the family inside from what plants had been planted and what kid's toys were left out­ side. The sidewalks were used as intended. Teenagers walked on them in groups, baring the heat while they could stand it, taking advantage of per­ ceived freedom. The residents outside their homes watched me drive by, recognizing that I was an outsider. The tradition of watching out for one another, as do those who feel connected, was natu­ rally present. Instead of hav­ ing signs displaying a neigh- borh(x>d watch program, the community members' atten­ tiveness to their surroundings, and to those entering their community, displayed better than any sign that the neigh­ borhood had eyes. The ethnically cohesive neighborhoods I w as used to in my hom etow n could also be found in this large city. I once thought it was because of my "bright" skin color that I wasn't immedi­ ately recognized as a member of la raza, or the Mexican people. Really, it comes down to a different set of experi­ ences. Are actively connected and organic areas like this ever more than accidentally expe­ rienced by those in metro­ politan Austin? I felt the con­ tradiction of this traditional comm unity neighborhood residing just off the highway in a city renowned for its "weird"-ness. This was a community where the middle school is less than a block away from most houses, and adults as well as children are outside relaxing and playing. If this all sounds too idyl­ lic, it is because the domi­ nant ethnicity and era associ­ ated with this type of imag­ ery is 1950s Anglo suburbia. However, this contemporary ethnic vision of a close-knit neighborhood is what most people are missing when they accuse Mexican immigrants of not being assimilated into the "American culture," as if it's homogeneous. The majority of my time is spent cloistered in the fast- paced world of the UT cam­ pus bubble. Venturing out into the equally foreign laid- back lifestyle in progressive Austin, I had forgotten that the type of ethnically cohesive neighborhoods I was used to in my hometown could also be found in this large city. Too often, we make it easy to stay within the UT bubble and ignore that we are guests in a larger community. We would benefit from more UT and authentic Austin as would the communities from the resources we are able to offer. Often, it seems the only role UT plays in the commu­ nity is a patronizing one. We are the learned outsiders and they are the needy children of a slowly moving community, too slow for us to relate to for any comprehensive length of time. intermingling, There are exceptions, how­ ever. Volunteering at Fiesta del Barrio, a community event, it felt natural for those of us from the UT chapter of Habitat for Humanity to be there just playing basket­ ball with some of the kids and enjoying a Saturday. Opportunities such as this are becoming more prevalent as we change the drive behind to our vigorous studying how we can help the world, instead of solely our own self- interest. The Millennial generation, those lucky souls born after 1982 (and clearlv destined for greatness), are thought to be more civic-minded by many demographers. Are we volun­ teering more to broaden our frame of reference and enrich coummunities, or are we just trying to pad our resumes? In order to continue the tra­ dition of civic-mindedness we have ostensibly embraced, we should continue to explore evolved ways in which our resources of intellect, power in numbers and youthful energy can be channeled. We need to keep pace with our potential as members of a generation bom with more knowledge of past cyclical mistakes than any other. fraga is a psychology a n d Mexican- American studies sophomore. THE FIRING LINE Holes of intelligent nothingness t have to commend the efforts of Young Conservatives of Texas. They excelled themselves not only in their grasp of the idiom "Know thyself," but also in their choice of a prop that they had set up in front of Gregory Gym. The gaping hole of intelligent nothingness bordered by a desired impermeable membrane couldn't have been more appropriate. A dynamic and artistic touch to this immobile display was provided by offers to throw tennis balls, symbolic of facts, I guess. The absolute absence of any vibration of recognition as they sailed through the pithy core was celebrated with a cheer. It's unfortunate that this engaging display has since been dismantled.

No one can defend it. However, I have a feeling that Darfur is becoming the new "Che Guevara." All signs point to me being right. If you really care about Darfur, do some­ thing about it. Awareness only goes so far. I'm aware of lots of things. I can wear a T-shirt to show people I'm cultured and know what's going on around the world. Donations from the T-shirt, unless it buys a new government or ammunition for peace­ keepers, does nothing. As we have found out since Hurricane Katrina and Sept. 11, a lot of the money donated to the Red Cross and similar organizations will be filtered through a giant bureaucratic system, while the dona­ tions will keep getting thinner and thinner. The only way this crisis will stop is through military intervention. Unfortunately we have more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq who are taking care of two human rights disasters. Where was everyone when the Taliban would cut off the hands of Afghan women when they wore the wrong clothing? Where was everyone when we heard rumors that Saddam was using chemi­ cal weapons against thousands of Kurds in northern Iraq? Remember, the fighting in Darfur started in the mid-1980s.

The institutes private,econom­ ic research organization, released the report, "Mind to Market: A Global Analysis of University and Biotechnology Transfer Commercialization," focusing on universities' biotechnology research and commercialization of that research Sept. 20 at a press conference in Washington, D.C. "There is a specialization about biotechnology in the UT System," said Armen Bedroussian, co­ author of the report. "I also the UT that among believe campuses, UT-Austin has the best commercialization index in the report." The report includes rankings of the top universities based on the quality of their biotech research, or publication rank; the num­ ber and quality of their patents, or patent rank; and their ability to transfer the technology into commercial uses, or technology transfer and commercialization index, according to the Milken Institute's Web site. Harvard University took the top rank for research publication, while No 1. for technology trans­ fer and commercialization went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Geographic location was one of the factors that affected the rankings as well as the good tech­ nology transfer office," said Skip Rimer, spokesman for the Milken Institute. "For example, schools in Boston, where there are many corporations, have more chances to get connected with companies than the schools in the other areas do." UT System spokesman Anthony De Bruyn said collabo­ ration and joint research among the 15 schools in the UT System made the ranking possible. "Also, the state of Texas under­ stands the importance of biotech­ nology research, as exemplified by the Texas Emerging Technology Funds," De Bruyn said. The UT System also keeps strong relationships with local firms, such as the relationship between UT-Dallas and Texas Instruments and the collaboration between the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center and General Electric, De Bruyn said. Student planning committees gain access to advisory team Texas Union full-time staff'to help planning, organization o f events By Evan Furman Daily Texan Staff This year, the planning com­ mittees for the Orange and White Ball, 40 Acres Fest music, Texas Revue and the Student Endowed Centennial Lectureship have more access to specialized advising and support resources than in the past. Students are still making all of the decisions for these events, but the Texas Union made a team of full-time, professional staff avail­ able to help them plan and orga­ nize more effectively. "There are a lot of resources that we have and people that we know ... So we give them that help and support that those stu­ dents need to plan these events successfully," said Crystal King, assistant director for student pro­ grams at the Texas Union. Although the students respon­ sible for the four events have received advising resources in the past, they were not specialized and not as readily available, she said. Most of the events were pre­ viously advised by staff from the Office of the Dean of Students, who could not devote their full attention to the events because of their other responsibilities, she said. The advising resources these committees now have access to are equivalent to what has been available to the 10 Student Events Center committees in the past. The Texas Union does not con­ tribute monetarily to the events, but offers access to resources and advising, she said. They are still completely funded by their respective monetary sponsors, such as the University Co-op for 40 Acres Fest and the Orange and White Ball, King said. "Even if a committee doesn't have tons of money, that doesn't mean that their event isn't valu­ able, so we try to give them that support they need so that they can produce a successful event," she said. The Texas Union wanted to "support these events that stu­ dents know and love" because they contribute greatly to active learning on campus, King said. 7i" a Chabad of Austin Wants to Wish Y’all a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Student Government adviser leaves post today after 7 years Student Government adviser Tany Norwood retired today after assisting the organization through the Office of the Dean of Students for seven years. Norwood, a UT graduate, began working at the University in 1976 as an accounting clerk for Student Activities and Leadership Development in the Office of the Dean of Students. She also briefly worked for the Texas branch of AmeriCorps, serving former Govs. Ann Richards and George Bush. She formally became SG's adviser in 1999. "This has been my home, and you have been my family," Norwood said to SG members. Norwood said her retirement plans include volunteering at her local ani­ mal shelter and creating stained glass Some student leaders have alleged Norwood left because she didn't like how Vice President for Student Affairs Juan Gonzalez was managing the office. Presidential Student Advisory Committee members said Gonzalez asked to review the group's agendas prior to meetings, according to a Daily Texan editorial published this summer.

"The computer will be a national resource" said Tommy Minyard, assis­ tant director of advanced computing systems at TACC. It will offer capability and capacity not previously available to researchers around the nation, Minyard said. UT researchers are guaranteed 5 percent of the available time to use the computer. Another 5 percent is allocated to industry use, he said. NSF awards the remaining 90 percent of the time to other researchers in the nation based on an application pro­ cess, Minyard said. The supercomputer is composed of ultra-thin blade servers provided by SUN Microsystems and powered by Advanced Micro Devices processors. The servers will be linked by a new high-bandwidth, low-latency technol­ ogy called "interconnect", Minyard said.

According to a HUD audit report released this month, the Housing Authority may have to pay for granting low-income fam­ ilies more space than they need under the city's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program allows low- income families to pay 30 percent to 40 percent of their gross income toward rent, and the program pays the rest. The program, which began in 2002, houses 5,025 fami­ lies every night in Austin, with 6,000 people still on the waiting list, said Jam es Hargrove, presi­ dent of the Housing Authority. According to the audit report, the Housing Authority over­ housed 180 tenants out of the 662 interviewed during the report by the inspector general's office of HUD. The report said Housing Authority staff did not assign the correct voucher size for families' homes under the program and paid excessive housing aid with no effective control. For instance, som e teenagers who should share a room under the program were given their own rooms, and live-in care aides were illegally approved to live under larger vouchers. sam e-gender Hargrove said the problems the audit had identified by already been solved in June and July, before the HUD officers making the report left Austin. "The main reason for the over­ housing issue is that some tenants need medical care," Hargrove said. "Their relatives taking care of them did not sign on the leases. We solve the problem by putting their names on the documents." A meeting is scheduled next week in San Antonio to work out details on the repayment, Hargrove said. Hargrove explained other the in exam ples m entioned report, such as claims that same- gender teenagers in a household were illegally given separate bedrooms. He said the Housing Authority only allows them to have their own bedrooms during exam periods. The report also recommend­ ed HU D's director ensure the Housing Authority improves its procedure and take the necessary action to reduce the authority's program budget for the 2006 fis­ cal year by $189,245. From 2002 to 2006, the Housing Authority has received more than $201.8 million from HUD. The $588,000 recommended repay­ ment represents 2 percent of the $33 million the authority receives each year, Hargrove said. Patricia Cam pbell, spokes­ wom an the Fort Worth regional office of HUD, said the issue is still in progress and the regional office has 120 days from the report's release on Sept. 1 to respond to the audit report. for "It is not an abuse or misuse," Hargrove said. "W e just need to pay attention to the rules. I have confidence in solving this prob­ lem ."

Local water pressure was also unaffected, she said. She said events like this are rela­ tively comm on, and there have been 18 broken water mains since January, because, like m ost large cities, the maps for the water mains are fairly inaccurate. — Cody Schultz East Austin Initiative looks into minority voting trends The East Austin Initiative met Thursday to discuss ways to incorpo­ rate the underrepresented popula­ tio n in the 2006 elections.

As a result of the passage ol this ordinance, local mobile food venders must be licensed by the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department and comply with certain zoning, time of operations, and noise restric­ tions. For example, mobile food vendors located less than 300 feet from a residence must close by 10 p.m. and open no earlier than 6 a.m. Local venders have no more than 60 days to comply with the regulations of this new ordinance. By Michelle West Daily Texan Staff Taco and hot dog stands in Austin now have the opportunity to permanently legalize their oper­ ations after the unanimous pas­ sage of a city ordinance Thursday that formalized a permit process for local mobile food vendors.

"W hen we went to Mizzou 1 was surprised, because the announcer called out your nam e and people booed," Engle said. "There were peo­ ple that have no life and were standing right up next to the court and saying things that w eren't really that nice. Maybe it was me just being a fresh­ man, but it got to me a little bit more than it should have." Engle came a long way to get to Texas. She grew up in Yorba L inda, Calif., an Orange County suburb of Los Angeles. Most followers of the sport know that California is volley­ ball country. Four of the top 10 teams in the coaches poll are from the Golden State. However, Engle decided that she needed to get out. "It was the overall package here with the coaching staff, the team and the gym," Engle said. "1 wanted to get out of the California bubble." She's also come a long way since the days when she first took up the game. "Where I'm from, kids start playing early," Engle said. "I started late in seventh-grade and at first I couldn't even hit the ball over the net — I was so awful. But I then worked pretty hard to get to where I am." Things sure have changed. So far, she is the ninth-best hitter in the Big 12 with 3.94 kills per game and has played a pivotal role in Texas ' play with her clutch game-winning kill against No. 9 Santa Clara. Engle, Heather Kisner, and Destinee Hooker w ere all part of a freshman class that prepvolIeybaIl.com ranked No. 2 in the country and Texas usu­ ally features at least two of the three freshmen on the court at all times. "We complement each other — We're all out on the court at the same time," Engle said. She says that her time Texas has been easier because of the support of Kisner, her team­ mate and roommate who hails from Houston. "Heather has been such a help coming here," Engle said. "She's so relaxed and she and I hang out all the time." In her first year, she is also m aking transition the from a pure hitter to eventu­ ally take over the setter's role when starting setter Michelle Moriarty graduates in 2007. It's not often that teams start a 6-foot-3 setter. But Texas has enough height to take care of the hitter position. "Everybody asks me w heth­ er I like to set or hit more," Engle said. "I think that the joy of hitting a ball dow n is just as good as setting up a kill. I'll do whatever it takes to help the team win." Like any freshman, Engle is learning how to cope without her parents' support. "There are times when I play really well and 1 wished that they could see me," she said. "But then there were times where I didn't play so well and it was nice for them not to see it." loss to Oklahoma After dropping Texas' first- ever in school history to record their second road loss in a row, Engle and the rest of the Longhorns return home Saturday to play the Kansas State Wildcats at noon in Gregory Gym. "I'm really eager to play at home after the stuff we went through at Mizzou and Oklahoma," Engle said.

Texas soccer gears up for two of the Big 12’s top teams By Dennis Killian Daily Texan Staff Texas soccer welcomes two of the Big 12 Conference's elite teams this weekend, with a match against No. 17 Oklahoma State tonight at 7 p.m. and a match against unranked Oklahoma on Sunday. Despite the challenges ahead, Longhorn's coach Chris Petrucelli feels his team has a solid footing as they step deeper into Big 12 play. "I think we're in great shape, and we're confident, which is extremely important," Petrucelli told Texassports.com. "We're rela­ tively healthy. We've shown we can score goals, and we can also defend. So we're feeling good." The Longhorns face a Cowboy team that sits near the top of the conference standings with a 3-1 record. Texas currently holds a 2-0 conference record and an 8-2 overall record this season. Texas is also coming off two big road victories in their Big 12 debut last weekend against Texas Tech and Baylor. Clearly this team is one of the conference's best, but must remain focused and not have a let­ down at home tonight. Senior leaders like Amy Burlingham and Carrie Schmit have been down this path before, so expect them to have strong showings tonight. "The thing with Carrie is that, every time we need a goal, she scores," Petrucelli said. "With Kelsey, Ashley and Amy, we've got players who can sore a goal at anytime." Oklahoma State's lone conference lost came on Wednesday, when they fell to Texas A&M 3-1 in College Station. The vic­ tory pushed the Aggies to a 3-0 mark in Big 12 play. The Cowboys are lead by midfielder Yolanda Odenyo, who was named to the Soccer America Team of the Week. Odenyo scored the game winning goal in overtime against Kansas last Friday, then followed up with a goal on a penalty kick against No. 11 Colorado last Sunday. Petrucelli hasn't been too worried about what their opponent's game plan has been this season, because of the strengths they possess offen­ sively and defensively. "Well there are a number of players who can score, so we're not in a situation where we're relying on one player," Petrucelli said. "We're versatile, and I think we got really great speed and power up front. But I think our team as a whole has bought into the concept of possessing the ball which is Brian H ollingsw orth j Daily Texan Staff Senior Carrie Schmit breaks away against Cal State-Fullerton. Schmit and the Longhorns take on Oklahoma State and Oklahoma this weekend. creating chances for our offense." Even the younger players have provided sparks during crucial minutes this season. "We've been able to get quality minutes from a number of those players. The oHver that has stood out the most is Greta Cart< Petrucelli said. "She's really done a gc job in the midfield and has helped us d good in possessing the ball. She fights i hard to eain possession." Senior Michael Malone is look­ ing forward to the Bearkats' gam e against Texas this Saturday at 6 p.m. at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Son of NBA great Moses Malone, Michael is one of the top receivers for Sam Houston State and has been garner­ ing attention from coaches and NFL scouts around the country. Sam Houston State Athletics Police close T.O. investigation Dallas police have classi­ fied Terrell Owens' case as an "accidental overdose," not an attempted suicide, closing their investigation Thursday of the Cowboys receiver's hospitaliza­ tion. Authorities also released a recording of the brief 911 call Thursday that brought rescue workers to Owens' home, in which publicist Kim Etheredge said "I think he took too many pills" but never mentioned her client's name or said anything about a suicide attempt. Police Chief David Kunkle said he had "great confidence" in his officers' initial report, which said rescue workers responded late Tuesday night to an attempted "suicide by prescription pain medication." "The report, in my opinion, reflects what the officers were told and represents their best interpretation of what hap­ pened," Kunkle said Thursday. "But that doesn't mean it's the definitive account of the incident." The report, obtained by media outlets Wednesday, said Etheredge described Owens as being depressed and indicated that he said "Yes" when rescue workers asked whether he had tried to harm himself. Owens said Wednesday he mistakenly mixed the painkill­ ers for a broken hand with sup­ plements he ordinarily takes. — Associated Press Astros win 9 straight games The clock hasn't stopped ticking on the Houston Astros, who keep staging one of the greatest stretch-drive come­ backs in major league history. No matter how long it takes. Roy Oswalt picked up a weary bullpen with seven shutout innings and the Astros ran their improbable late- September winning streak to nine games, enduring an after­ noon-long rain delay before beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 Thursday. They needed nearly five hours to win the night before. This time, they waited for 3 1/2 hours just to play. Time is running out on the Astros, but it's not stopping them from winning. "We've showed a little bit of grit and determination here to jump back in this race," man­ ager Phil Garner said. Oswalt (15-8), winning his sixth in a row and fifth straight this month, beat the Pirates for the third time in three starts, allowing only two runs in 20 innings. He gave up four hits, struck out six and walked two. "They said it would start at 1, then at 2, then at 3 and we made it at 4," said Oswalt, who shortened his delivery to keep from slipping on the mound. "But it worked out well." — AP 2B Sp o r t s Friday, September 29, 2006 Rowing coach leads Longhorns when not saving lives By Shannon Wade Daily Texan Staff When Texas rowing coach Carie Graves thinks of a playing field, she does not imagine a football stadium crowded with fans. It is not the sound of shoes squeaking on a hardwood floor before the final buzzer sounds. It is here. Here on the Oklahoma, the Colorado, the Kansas, and any of the rivers that vein through the 50 states or any of the lakes that freckle the coun­ tryside. This year Texas will be competing for a sixth straight Big 12 Invitational title. This year's rowing season starts off w ith the Head of the Oklahoma regatta, to be held in Oklahoma City Sept. 30. As Graves leads Texas in her eighth year of coaching the Longhorns, she can't help but think of a rowing legend she once saved. woman was panicking in the water, It had been a particularly windy day when the Masters National Rowing Championship at Lake Onondaga in New York was scheduled to take place. Later this wind would bring a premature end to the regatta, but for now the races progressed: crew against crew, singles, doubles, all vying for the winning time. Carie Graves, then the Northeastern woman's crew coach, was sitting in her double scull with her partner. Approximately 25 yards away, a single scull capsized, sending its solitary crew member into the chilly waters of the Onondaga. Graves jumped out of her boat to save the woman. "When someone 87 years old falls out, you gotta go after them fast, so I did," Graves said. "I would have reacted that quickly for anyone." It was late August 1996, and the old But this wasn't just anyone. "I remember saying to my doubles partner, 'Its Ernestine! Gotta go!"' Graves recalled. Graves pulled Ernestine Bayer out of the water. Bayer, fondly referred to as the matri­ arch of women's rowing, was "just one of those women," as Graves puts it, "Somebody had to have the courage to step up and say, 'I want to do this', and Ernestine did that for rowing," Graves said. Pulling out of the Great Depression, rowing just wasn't a sport for women, but Bayer had a mission, and in 1938 on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, the first oars to be held by women made waves with the founding of the Philadelphia Girls Rowing Club. Following Title IX in 1972, Bayer became a volunteer coach at the University of New Hampshire, bring­ ing women's rowing into the intercol­ legiate limelight. A pioneer for women, her aging did more than bring grey hair and good stories, it transformed Bayer from an icon of success to a beacon of hope. Not even a stroke would detour Ernestine Bayer from her passion, after recovering she went on to claim numer­ ous world titles, Bayer continued setting records in rowing well into her 91st year On Sept. 10, 2006, at the age of 97, Bayer passed away, leaving behind the memory, the legacy and the sort of char­ acter that the sport doesn't encounter everyday. Graves is planning to attend the memorial service in early October. Like Bayer, Carie Graves has left her mark on the unfolding world of wom­ en's rowing. As a three-time Olympian and a six-time member of the U.S. National Rowing Team, Graves is far from unheard of. She became the first inductee to the Wisconsin Women's Hall of Fame in 1984 and was named the USOC Athlete of the Year. With all this success though, it wouldn't be her two gold medals that she's most proud of — it's saving a life. "It's something one does, I didn't do it thinking I'd be a hero," Graves said. Carie Graves' extensive coaching career, has taken her from her roots at the University of Wisconsin, to places as glo­ rified as Harvard, and to Northeastern University, where she was coached one of best squads in the country. In the past eight years, Graves has built the Longhorn Women's Rowing program from the ground up, leading Longhorn ladies to a second appearance in the NCAA Championship in 2004. "We race longer races, and nobody's really ready for a race at the end of September, they've all been rowing two, maybe three weeks," said Graves. Cross country teams warm up to season By Clay Whittington Daily Texan Staff For the first meet of the year, the Texas men's cross country team will be taking a road trip to Oregon, where they will compete in the Bill Dillenger Invitational on Friday and the Williamette Invitational on Saturday. The competitions will be the genesis of a promising season for the Longhorns, who are look­ ing to gain further respect on the national stage. The Big 12 has four teams ranked in the nation's preseason Joining Colorado and top 10. Texas, third and fifth respective­ ly, are Oklahoma State at ninth and Kansas at tenth. "I appreciate [the competition], in that we know in getting ready for the NCAA's, we're going to be battle tested," Texas coach Jason Vigilante said. "We're going to be competing against some of the best teams in the country." One advantage Texas believes it has over the competition this year is experience. The team is loaded with quality juniors and seniors who don't require a lot of instruction or motivation. Manzano relishes the opportu­ nity to hurdle over Colorado and into the Big 12 spotlight. "Colorado beat us by two or three guys last year in the confer­ ence meet. So, this year, I think we're pretty hungry," Manzano said. "We're really going to try to go out there and really try and run them down, and hopefully, we'U beat them." While the men are ready to begin their season this weekend, the Texas women's cross country team is looking to continue their recent string of success. After a first-place finish at the Texas State Invitational and a third place finish in the Texas A&M Invitational, the women now set their sights on the Islander Invitational in Corpus Christi on Friday. "I think that this next race we have coming up is critical for our team to understand that they need to be competitive and how to race competitively," said coach Stephen Sisson. Texas swimming holds inter-squad meet By Adam Bielamowicz Daily Texan Staff With a fourth-place finish in last season's NCAA championships, many programs would be com­ pletely happy. However, when you have nine national champion­ ship banners hanging in the raf­ ters, the main goal for the season becomes hanging up another one. Texas' men's swimming team will begin their quest for their 28th straight conference cham­ pionship and their first national championship since 2002 today with the annual Orange-White exhibition in the Texas Swimming Center at 3 p.m. Texas coach Eddie Reese believes that this season's team can get the Longhorns back in the neighborhood where they belong. "This is a very strong team," Reese said. "We've been out of the Top 3 for the last couple of years, and this is the type of team that can get us back there. We will be real strong during dual meet season, because we have two or more good people in every event. Our relays are very strong, and we have the best diving we have had in about three years." Last year's results tell the story about the strength of this team. The Longhorns return 11 All- Americans this season, including Big 12 Swimmer of the Year Garrett Weber-Gale, Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Michael Kleuh and Big 12 Diver of the Year Bailey Gao. In addition to the All-American accolades, seven Longhorn swim­ mers were selected to represent the United States in the World University Games next summer in Thailand. "When you make national teams in this country, it is real "It is really good," Reese said. competitive and it is hard to make the top eight in this country in any event." But Reese is not the only person optimistic about the team's pros­ pects. He has the players believ­ ing that they can have a great year as well. "We're not really feeling any pressure, but excitement," said senior Thomas Sacco. "We're defi­ nitely very, very excited to see how this season goes." "Our main goal is to get better," said Reese. If everybody on our team makes the right improve­ ments; that is where you want to be." Fire overtake Galaxy 3-1 to win soccer U.S. Open Cup By Simon Provan Daily Texan Columnist On Wednesday night, the Chicago Fire lifted the Dewar Trophy foi* a fourth time in the clubs short history after downing the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1 in the 2006 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final. The clubs met five days earlier in a league match at Toyota Park. The Fire won that affair 2-1 after scoring 33 seconds into the game. In Wednesday's final, the Fire again got on the board first. After a Andy Herron cross bounced back off a defender, the ball popped up to a wide-open Nate Jaqua who sent in a header from point-blank range in the tenth minute of play. Six minutes later, Herron followed that up with a header of his own from a Justin Mapp free kick. Although the Galaxy cut the deficit to 2-1 on Alan Gordon's 51st minute goal, the Fire packed it in for the remainder of the game. The Fire sealed the deal with an 89th minute counter-attack goal from Thiago on a Tony Sanneh assist. "You can't spot [the Chicago Fire] two goals," said Galaxy defender Chris Albright. "We did it the other night. Tonight we spot­ ted them two and Saturday we spotted them one. You can't give that away and expect to beat a decent team." In Open Cup history, which began in 1914 and hosts the oldest teams sport trophy in the U.S.. For Chicago, the quest for tro­ phies is not over. "Obviously, winning a cham­ pionship is going to give us some confidence, especially going into the MLS playoffs," said an elated Jacqua. "We're looking to win that as well. That's our goal. Win the 'double.'" Need a video, CD, DVD, com m ercial or infom ercial produced?

But in Atlanta in 1913, when the North and South were as socially divided as ever, a trag­ ic event m ade Memorial Day something to sing about. The true events that happened on this day inspired the musical “Parade," now playing at St. Edward's University. Lies, murder, sex and torch- bearing mobs are surprisingly prevalent in this seemingly inno­ cent period piece. St. Edward's production is a hearty helping of raw, colorful talent that packs the emotional punch of this endear­ ing American tragedy. The story begins on the day of the Confederate M em orial Day Parade in Atlanta w hile Leo Frank, a Jewish Yankee w ho owns a pencil factory, is doing some accounting in his office. On the w ay to the parade, 13-year- old Mary Phagan stops by Leo's office to pick up her pay — she never makes it to the parade. Her body is found raped and m urdered, and mousy Leo Frank was the last to be with her. the After his arrest for the alleged m urder, trial com m ences and the lying ensues. The small com m unity of Marietta dearly they w ant loved Mary, and som ething done, even if there is little or no evidence to convict Leo. The anti Yankee ambiance is so strong that even the tes­ timonies of African-Americans are taken over the w ord of Leo Frank (in pre-Civil Rights Deep South). Before long, a web of coached lies and passionate fab­ rications convicts Leo, and he is sentenced to death. But, with the help of his Southern wife, Lucille, Leo's case isn't over yet — that is, until the citizens of M arietta take the law into their own hands. David Michael Long tackles the meaty role of meek, bespec­ tacled Leo w ith earnest sincerity and deep conviction. From his hand-wringing dem eanor to his shameless interjection of Jewish quips. Long's Leo is a w orthy hero, one that the audience can rally behind as the rest of the characters slowly suffocate his innocence and pride. Once there is nothing left to be said, the only way Leo can vent his frustra­ tion is through a heartbreaking Jewish m antra, "Sh'm a," sung in Long's beautiful tenor. Long, as well as a couple of other cast members, is a profes­ sional actor, a fact that is obvi­ ous at first, but soon forgotten thanks to the m aturity and work ethic of the college-aged per­ formers. Libby Dees is poised and sweetly vulnerable as Leo's local faithful wife Lucille, while Daniel Adams, w ho plays a greasy, quick-tongued reporter, stops the show with "Big News." While testifying, Jennifer Pyburn (Mary Phagan's mother) gives a tear-worthy rendition of "My Child Will Forgive Me," pos­ sibly the best of Jason Robert Brown's Tony Award-winning score. These and other outstand­ ing principals are supported by a heavenly wall of sound from the tireless chorus. "Parade" is like a painting that captures history, hum an­ ity, and tragedy in every stroke of bittersw eet Americana, and St. E dw ard's does the musical than was m uch more justice granted Leo Frank. W hat really makes this production w ork is the director and crew's attention to detail. In >uch a small theatre, where the stage is center and the audience is on all four sides, no corners can be cut, dow n to the blood on little M ary's dress. It's a sad portrait of w hat can hap­ pen to a m an w ho marches to the beat of his own drum , if rain falls on the unassailable parade.

Heder and Thornton’s thoughts on new movie ‘School for Scoundrels’ By Jocelyn Ehnstrom and Daily Texan Staff "School for Scoundrels," the new comedy by Todd Phillips starring funny men Billy Bob T hornton Jon H eder ("Napoleon Dynamite"), opens nationwide today. Recently the stars of the film spoke to The Daily Texan about their real- life com petition for wom en and their desire to be the next Bond and the W orld's Toughest Milkman. Daily Texan: As a screenwriter what attracts you to a script, and what was it about scoundrels that attracted you? Billy Bob: Well I don't look for a particular script, just that it's well written, I mean, if it's a comedy, you know, I look to see if it's funny and well-written, if it's a drama, once again if it's a well-written script. That's where it all starts for me, the writing. I'm not usually drawn to one particu­ lar kind of subject, although I'm not big on action movies. "School for Scoundrels" was just a very well written script, I liked Todd Phillips, and thought working with Jon would be great. DT: So you've seen Napoleon Dynamite? BB: Yeah, I watched his movie, and I knew we'd be fine working together. John Heden And I was actually looking for a script to be the lead in that wasn't Napoleon. I wanted to play a more ordinary everyman type of a character, and I thought this one was pretty good, and had a lot of funny stuff in it. DT: In the movie you are both competing for the same girl, what was the greatest extent you ever went to for a girl? JH: I actually tried to draw a picture of a girl I was dating, and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be and I think she thought the same way. DT: And how did that end up? JH: Well I ended up getting mar­ ried to her, so I guess it sort of worked. BB: I don't try too hard really; maybe when I was a teenager I did something stupid. I once dressed as Larry Storch from F-Troop, [sar­ castically] that worked great ... DT: Billy Bob, because you're from Arkansas, have you ever tried to shield that fact or shed that from your identity? BB: No, In fact I've kind of held onto it on purpose I'm a little sen­ sitive about the whole upbringing thing. I mean to a certain degree during casting, but really what's the difference between that and a guy from Jersey? DT: The comedies you both have done are huge on college cam­ puses [Bad Santa and Napoleon Dynamite]. Is there a role that you'd like to peruse outside of these comedic roles? J H : Yes, I want to be the next James Bond; particularly one who gets to shoot magic arrows. DT: What about you Billy, Have you ever wanted to play a role that completely breaks from your typi­ cal characters? BB: Reid Fleming: The World's Toughest Milkman. It's a comic not many people know, but keep your eyes o p e n ... JH: Coming soon to Comedy Central. CATCH21: Choice between bar, friends is hard GUARDIAN: Not a bad way to spend evening From page 8B The movie is shockingly light­ hearted and humorous between the action-packed beginning and end, and does a good job letting the audience watch the characters develop, if not a little too well. "The Guardian" unfortunately suf­ fers from Costner syndrome (see examples "Dances With Wolves," "Wyatt Earp" and "Waterworld"), and is a good half hour too long, clocking in at 136 minutes. In the latter half, the audience will most likely be shifting in their seat wondering how much longer the movie will last. In the director's defense though, he did do a decent job of trying to make the elongated parts interesting. not complain about getting their money's worth, because of its monstrous length. If the viewer does not have any plans for the evening, then "The Guardian" is definitely not a bad way to spend it, especially if they are interested in a genre that has been, for the most part, widely overlooked. "The G uardian " opens nationwide The audience will definitely today. LABYRINTH: Showing leaves audience buzzing ing. Javier Navarette conducted a chilling eerie score that adds even more magic to the film. Del Toro crafted an amazingly mysti­ cal and terrifying film, show ­ ing the beauty of imagination and the horror of monsters, both . mythical and real. The audience was buzzing after the screening, obviously moved and excited by w hat they just saw. Drafthouse employees were at the exits handing out the film's poster as well as a really gnarly key-shaped necklace. The fact that not only was an exhila­ rating movie premiered but you also get cool movie swag is w hy Fantastic Fest is one cool film festival. From page 8B she is a reincarnated princess and must complete three tasks to reclaim her throne. That's all that can be said without giving too much away. Ivana Baquero, who plays Ofelia, is a fantastic young actress w ho the audience connects w ith whole way through. Guillermo Navarro, the cinem atographer on three of del Toro's other films, does some of his best work here, creating a tapestry of light­ gorgeous color and f ^ E G A L O fJV JE it/ I A S O C r O PEN C A P T IO N E D DA = DÉSCRÍPT/VE W W M i L Á f e L ! * Pass !

Whether these minors just know the right people downtown, sneak into bars or sweet-talk their way inside is a mystery to me. When I used my sister's ID for one New York City summer and my knees knocked every time I approached an ID checker. Even on my 21st birthday, two bartenders told me, "Today's the 13th. Your birthday's tomorrow." Apparently despite my age, I still don't have what it takes to waltz into a bar. Maybe I should make my own Facebook group: "I'm legal, but still need a fake ID to get into bars." A wise former professor of mine once said, "Sometimes in life, you've just got to fake it 'til you make it." I have mixed feelings about fake IDs — are they good? Bad? Worth the risk? With all these questions, my head is starting to hurt. It's a good thing I'm 21, because I could use a drink.

A From page 8B that while you may now be legal, your younger friends are not. Their resentment sets in within days. The eye-rolling. The glar­ ing. The "just-go-without-us" guilt trips. I'm quickly realizing that every weekend until next summer, I'll have a choice to make. I can either go downtown with my older friends and leave the "minors" behind, or I can forego Sixth Street, sacrificing my legality out of loyalty. If 1 go without the kids, I feel selfish. If I stay behind, I feel spiteful. It's a lose-lose situation. Or, as I call it, a Catch-21. Coming home from my first Cain & Abel's experience last Tuesday, I saw the bitter AIM away message of my old room­ mate, Rachelle — something to tine effect of "sitting at home while my friends are all out at the bar. I hate the law!" She's not alone. "A lot of my friends are a lot older than me," noted journalism senior Amal Agha, who will turn 21 next May. "I don't want to be a burden — 'Oh, we can't go here because of her.'" Agha said that while the ini­ tial transition was hard, her social group has begun doing things "having less to do with age, like to stay home and watch movies." Diez similar experienced laments among his friend group, but they concocted a solution that might be considered more com­ mon today. "At first, all my friends were like, 'Now you'll always be down­ town,"' Diez said. "But now the younger ones have fake IDs, so they handle it better." Apparently for many, the solu­ tion to a Catch-21 within a social group lies in procuring fake IDs for the minors. They were the downfall of the Bush twins, but I used my older sister's license when I lived in New York City two summers ago, as I had all older friends. Using a fake ID is like down­ loading free music or not voting: tons of us do it, but most won't admit it on record The major­ ity of the people I asked said yes, they've used or still have a fake ID and no, they didn't want to discuss it. By allow ing friends to go out on the town together, fake IDs please all parties involved — except the law. After all, a Catch-21 only truly fades if no one gets caught. Fake IDs have become such a phenom enon in Texas that the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission created "Operation Fake O ut" in 2002 to track and catch underage bar hoppers. "Youngsters," the commission warns on its Web site, "particu­ larly those of college age, can be devious when in pursuit of alco­ hol." Thanks to the commission and Texas law, the punishment for using a fake ID can be stiff. Getting busted with an ID that's either fake or not your own can land you in jail for six months, slap you with a one-year license suspen­ sion an d /o r up to a $2,000 fine, not to mention having a Class B misdemeanor permanently placed on your record. Bouncers may cut up your fake or just kick you out. Salespeople might proudly tack your fake ID on their walls, as liquor stores like Centennial or gas stations like the Shell at MLK and Guadalupe Street do. But despite the risks, Diez reported repeated success with his crew's fake IDs. "The majority of my friends use real IDs that aren't theirs. Very seldom have they not gotten in," Diez said. "If anything they just get kicked out — not legally in trouble. Sometimes people will even give an ID back. I don't think they care that much." Apathy among bartenders and bouncers might explain the exis­ tence of the UT Facebook group HIGHLAND 10 100 - st/uxum b a r g a i n ^ H N O T I C E : N O ONE U ND ER 18 Y E A R S OF AGE WILL- BE ALLOW ED IN THE THEATRE ON t o m F r i d a y s Be S a t u r d a y s BriliS A FT ER 7 P M WITHOUT AN ADULT.

After years of running from the police, hiding hangovers from par­ ents and begging neighbors to buy me beer, it actually came: my 21st birthday. The day passed with fairy-tale perfection. I showed my license without worry, guzzled free shots downtown and wore my "Where's the Bar?" birthday hat with pride, smiling incessantly. By becoming legal, every problem I'd ever had since birth suddenly dissipated. At 21, life had officially begun. And apparently, I'm not the only one who has felt this way. "Once I turned 21,1 could do pretty much anything," finance junior Christian Diez said. "I could gamble. Drink. Go downtown. Everything was great." Unfortunately for us and others, the greatness inevi­ tably fades when the aftermath sets in.

"The Guardian" starring Kutcher and Kevin Costner opens nationwide today. Buena Vista 'Guardian7 stays afloat R E V I E W Heroics of U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue teams basis for the latest fall blockbuster By Cody Schultz Daily Texan Staff The United States Coast Guard simply does not get enough credit in the movie industry. In the last five years, the only movie to even mention them was the miserable 2005 remake of "Yours, Mine and Ours " Director Andrew Davis, known most widely for "The Fugitive," makes a valiant effort to correct this oversight with "The Guardian." Davis' latest movie, starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher, is not as action-oriented as his previous titles. Instead, "The Guardian" chooses to focus on the characters, which makes the story feel more plausible. Ben Randall (Costner) is the most decorated rescue swimmer of the Coast Guard, achieving a sort of legend status among others in the search and rescue branch of the Coast Guard. During a routine rescue gone awry in Kodiak, Alaska, Randall loses not only his entire team, but those he set out to rescue. After recovering, he is forced to take a job as a trainer at one of the nation's top "A" schools for the search and rescue team. It is here that the audience is introduced to Jake Fischer (Kutcher), a cocky champion swimmer in high school, who inexplicably chose search and rescue, over all the scholarships offered to him from Ivy League schools. In the beginning of his schooling, Kutcher plays an equally sized role as the rest of his class, but as the story progresses, it becomes obvious that he is a much more talented swimmer than the rest. Randall is a more unconventional teacher than the other instructors are used to at the academy and his rigorous testing program knocks half the class out after the first week. Not surprisingly, Randall is especially difficult on Fischer throughout his schooling, and their relationship borders on clichéd. Fischer manages to overcome Randall's punishments, and they, of course, end up being best of friends by the time he graduates the academy. Fischer is appointed a job in Kodiak on the Bering Sea, and Randall returns to his old job as a search and rescue swim­ mer, alongside Fischer. Fischer proves to be just as dedicated as Randall to rescuing lives, which turns out to get him in trouble near the end of the movie. Its climatic ending will have those in the theater on the edge of their seats. GUARDIAN continues on page 5B Ain’t it Cool News secret screening shows ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ during festival By Alex Regnery Daiiy Texan Staff The lines were long, segregated into red and green badges. Red badges were assured entrance, green badges would have to fend for themselves. The reason there was ten­ sion in the air was because Ain't It Cool News was showcasing another secret screening. Last weekend, they premiered a rough cut of Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" as the first secret screening. Speculation was in the air as to what was going to be shown. Several people thought it would be "300," a new adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel, or "Grind House," the Tarantino/Rodriguez double fea­ ture, both of which are ridiculous thoughts because neither movie comes out till spring of next year. But the prevalent prediction was that Fantastic Fest would show "Pan's Labyrinth," the latest film from Guillermo del Toro. Lo and behold, Harry Knowles, head of Ain't It Cool News, took the stage and let us know that we would in fact be seeing del Toro's newest feature. Unfortunately, because of a contractual obligation w ith the New York Film Festival, Guillermo del Toro wrould not be able to be there to introduce the movie. Instead, del Toro sent a letter for Knowles to read to the audience to which Knowles added extra exple­ tives and attempted his best del Toro accent. The audience enjoyed the letter but really wanted the screening to get under way. "Pan's Labyrinth" is Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece. He's made some great f ilms before such as the haunting "The Devil's Backbone" and the extremely fun "Hellboy" but "Pan's" is something truly special. The story follows a young girl named Ofelia who, with her mother, is moving in with her new father, Captain Vidal, who is, obviously, a captain in the Spanish Army during World War II. Ofelia is a girl that loves reading fairy tales, so its quite coincidental when a fairy leads her deep inside a labyrinth on the captain's grounds. In the center of the labyrinth, a faun tells her that LABYRINTH continues on page 5B Picture House Films T h e D a i l y T e x a n presents Frid a y, September 29, 2006 Issue 4 P age 2 F r id a y , S e p te m b e r 2 9 , 2 0 0 6 T h e D a ily T exa n presen ts Sports Editor..................................

The Longhorns will not only be playing against Sam H ouston State on Saturday, but they'll be battling the fans and the media as well. the Bearkats, With m any people over­ the looking Longhorns' players and coach­ es know anything can happen in a game like this. Texas just w ants to prevent this game from becoming a big deal. "It is a regular Saturday; ask the teams that have lost to I-AA teams so far this year," Brown said. "The only way this one gets big is to not play well or to lose it. W hat we will fight this week is media and fans not talking about the impor­ tance of the game, and our guys need to be more mature than that. We play every game exactly the same." the upcom ing Even w ith game against the Bearkats, many questions are already being asked about Texas' next test, which comes against No. 17 Oklahoma.

Derek thought of it as a bonding experience when the two would go to the weight room at Denton Ryan High School most every morning before school to lift weights. They did so up until some point during his sophomore year, that is. By that time Derek, a self pro­ claimed weight room junkie, had already become stronger than his father, Eric, who was an All- American linebacker at Stephen. F. Austin. "He stopped going with me," Lokey said. "I could bench press 450 pounds." Gulp. Lokey has since carried over that sfrong man persona to the Longhorns, where he has become a recognizable force as both a nose tackle and, most recently, as a fullback. "He is one of the muscle men," fellow defensive lineman Frank Okam said. "He can lift the whole world." There was never any ques­ tion surrounding Lokey's abili­ ties on the defensive end. As a senior, he was tabbed the Class 4-A Texas Player of the Year by Dave Campell's Texas Football Magazine when he recorded 107 tackles, 52 of them for losses, and 17 sacks. He was also recruited by Ohio State and Notre Dame. Lokey played in 22 games for the Longhorns before this season. He is now the Longhorns' starting nose guard and one of the main reasons opponents are rushing for a miniscule 24 yards per game against them. "I can honestly say he is play­ ing the nose tackle better than I did last season," said Okam, who was a second team All-Big 12 selection in 2005. "I think he is surprising some people." Now Lokey is the fullback in Texas' jumbo package, which goes in when the Longhorns are in short yardage situations or if they are near the goal line. "I get to be the hitter instead of the hit-ee," Lokey said. "It's fun to go out there and do something different. Anytime we need one or two yards, I've got to have my head on and be ready to hit somebody." Lokey isn't sure how this all came about. He was the backup to last year's fullback Ahmad Hall. "[The coaches] just came up to me one day and told me they need it," he said. "It's a lineman's dream to get to be in the back- held." Lokey has already paved the way for seveial Longhorns touch­ downs, including Henry Melton's two-yard run in the second quar­ ter against Iowa State, where he leveled a Cyclones defender at the goal line. "H e had a winning per­ formance on both offense and defense [against Iowa State]. He has really helped us a lot in short yardage and goal line," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "He is just mauling those guys, and we probably need to do that more." Lokey has done his fair share of the dirty work. Now he is waiting on his opportunity to touch the ball and maybe find the endzone himself, something he did "three or four times in high school as a tight end." "You're going to have to ask Coach Davis [about when I'm going to run the ball]," Lokey said. "I talk to them everyday about trying to get me a carry." Don't expect Colt McCoy to hit him in the flats with a pass anytime soon. In fact, Lokey has some advice for other defenses. "Oh no, leave me open, I can LOKEY continues on page 10 the gam e last week. Lokey is the strongest player o n the Longhorns.

Longhorns lock up with Sam Houston Bearkats first I-AA opponent since North Texas in 1994 By Ryan Killian Daily Texan Staff It's time to face the Bearkats. the Texas has Division I-AA school since its promotion to the division in 1986. Sam Houston State has played 21 D l-A teams in that span, but never the Longhorns, until now. Texas safety Michael Griffin made his first interception of the season last week, and Brown and his defensive coordinators will be counting on him to help stymie the Bearkats' passing game. This isn't the first time he's gotten a look at some of the Sam Houston players. But last time they were surrounded by sand and sun. "We have not controlled the deep pass well and Sam Houston State has thrown the ball tenth best in I-AA," Brown said. avoided Fear that Texas will underes­ timate their lower-echelon foes seems largely unwarranted. Practices, which head coach Mack Brown feared might be a bit unmotivated, have been productive all week. "You never know how a guy will respond after a big confer­ ence game then heading back to a non-conference game," Brown said. But Brown's rallying cry -for times like these — “play to a standard" — has sunk in with his players. If they play to the standard Texas fans are used to seeing, this game could be a blowout before the start of the second quarter. But some of the Bearkats' Over Spring Break, Griffin was approached by a few Sam Houston players. According to Griffin, the conversation was simple. "We play y'all, next year," they said. Upon learning they played for Sam Houston, Griffin quick­ ly realized that they were excit­ ed about this chance to take on the defending nation champs. He wasn't even wearing burnt orange at the time. The Bearkats don't have much to lose when they take on No. 7 Texas in Austin. No one expects them to win; oddsmak- ers have left it alone.

The Lon ghorn s' run defense has turned out strong in the first four games. Courtney Dudley | Daily Texan Staff said the game will only be con­ sidered a "big game" if Texas loses or struggles, and he's right. Bearkat wide receivers Michael Malone and Brandon Perry are both pro prospects who would love to turn this into a "big game." Malone, son of NBA Hall- of-Famer Moses Malone, already has three touchdown receptions this season with 11 catches. "They have good players," Griffin said. "You never know. You can't look past any given team." Brown echoed that sentiment. "They have scholarships," he said. They're more excited than they've ever been in their lives to be here." Playing under the watchful gaze of the massive "Godzillatron" while surrounded by 70,000 or so screaming fans will certainly be a new experience for most of the Bearkat players. But for the Texas players, this game is no different from any other, they say. It's just business as usual. Ohio State travels to Iowa City to face Tate and Hawkeyes r [ .... , IIHIHIII -- By Cody Hale Daily Texan Staff When Ohio State traveled to Iowa City two years ago, they were in the midst of a contro­ versy. Junior quarterback Justin Zwick was the starter for the Buckeyes, but the confidence Ohio State coach Jim Tressel had in Zwick wasn't mutual. Much of the Buckeye nation felt sophomore Troy Smith deserved the position, especially after the Iowa Hawkeyes battered Ohio State 33-7 that year. A year later and the debate had been resolved — and what a dif­ ference it made as Smith rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more, accounting for 318 total yards and leading Ohio State past Iowa 31-6 last season. Smith is 17-2 as a starter since Smith is 17-2 as a starter since taking over for Zwick after the Buckeyes' loss to Iowa two years ago. This Saturday, Smith and the rest of Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) are making another trip to Iowa City where they will battle the Hawkeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) in the national game of the week — as Iowa is labeling this game “Gold Bowl I," ordering T-shirts for the fans. "I don't want to take anything away from Iowa or their sta­ dium. It's a tough place to play, but anywhere in the Big Ten is a tough place to play," Smith said. “It is tough to play out there [Iowa], because it is an environ­ ment that Midwest teams are not really used to." The Buckeyes are not used to , 1 1 changing in a pink locker room changing in a pink locker room as well. "It is different. They have that pink thing going on with their locker room, and their fans are really loud," Buckeye running back Antonio Pittman said. “They sit right behind our bench, and the fans have all day to get prepared. We just have to tolerate the game, go out there and be focused." State finished last Against Penn the Saturday, Smith game completing 12-of-22 pass­ es for a mere 115 yards, one touchdown and two intercep­ tions in sloppy conditions at Ohio Stadium.

They are not going to throw it to me at all," he said. At day's end, it is on the defen­ sive side of the ball where Lokey is really making his name. He has 12 total tackles through four games, six solo hits and three quarterback hurries, and is only getting better. “I want to be the best nose guard in the conference and in the country," he said. “That's what drives me is the motiva­ tion to be the best. It doesn't take pregame talks or pep talks to get me ready. I'm excited all week for the game." Lokey definitely has the wits to play both sides of the ball. He carried a 4.0 GPA in high school and is a two-time member of Texas' Athletics Director's Honor Roll (Spring 2005, Fall 2005). "He is one if the smartest play­ ers I have ever played with," said Okam, who had a 3.9 GPA.

Colorado at No. 25 Missouri The Buffaloes (0-4) are try- defense. Texas Tech welcomed back senior receiver Jarrett Hicks last week after he missed the first three games of the season because of eligibility issues. He caught three passes, one for a touchdown. polished "I thought he did good," "H e and Leach said of Hicks. seem ed focused." Hicks faces off with an improved Aggie secondary, though. During the offseason, coach Dan Franchione and the rest of the staff made an effort to improve the entire defense. im prove­ ments are obvious, the A&M defense is still a work in prog­ ress. And while the "W e're still early the change. Though we've done some good things, this is a big challenge," Franchione said. in "I think if anybody would've said back in two-a-days that this was where you would be at this point in time, we'd probably hope for more, but we probably wouldn't feel too bad." Texas Tech hopes to shake off their own bad feelings Saturday. Last w eekend's rout rid the Red Raiders of feelings of inadequacy as they prepare to travel to College Station. "Last week's game's over," Leach said. "A re we a one game or one quarter or one series w onder? We'll find out." Despite those feelings, Leach doesn't see that as the Red Raiders' biggest obstacle. "I don't think our problem is confidence," Leach said. "I think our problem is our rich tradition and reputation By Ricky Treon Daily Texan Staff At the start of the season, the talk in Lubbock centered around Texas Tech being the dark horse of the Big 12 South. Now the talk about the team is just dark. tough," "W e're not very coach M ike Leach said. "V irtually every person that plays offense for Texas Tech the U niversity, coaching staff and everyone down to the worst player on offense, is not very tough." including That came after No. 17 TCU held the Red Raiders to a field goal two weeks ago, giving them their first loss of the sea­ son and dropping them out of The Associated Press Top 25. Saturday, Texas Tech torched D ivision I-AA Southeastern Louisiana, 62-0, scoring by air, ground and the leg of kicker Alex Trlica. But even then, there were only so many positives Tech could take away before the conversation circled back to the team 's struggles. "We have to see if w e've got the ability to do it two weeks in a row. To this point, we real­ ly haven't," Leach said. "[The offense] had to have been bet­ ter than last week. You can't get much w orse."

Smith hopes he can provide the spark for the Buckeyes once again this Saturday against the Hawkeyes. As both teams prepare this week for their night game at Iowa's Kinnick Stadium, it's once again the No. 1 Buckeyes who appear to have the edge in this one. Led by the talents of Smith, running back Antonio Pittman, who proved his value in last Saturday's 28-6 win over Penn State, and flanker-retum- er Ted Ginn Jr., Ohio State has appeared to be unbeatable in its four games thus far. overtime win over Syracuse, though the Hawkeyes were without quarterback Drew Tate. The hype just got bigger for this highly anticipated Big Ten matchup as ESPN's College Game Day crew travels to Iowa City. But Smith won't let all the extra attention get to him as he knows what Iowa is capable of doing on their home turf. "That game was a wake-up call," Smith said of the 20D4 loss to Iowa. "They let us know if you come into any school's sta­ dium not focused, this can hap­ pen to you." No. 2 Auburn at South Carolina The Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) deserved a little break in their schedule after their emotionally- draining game against Louisiana State two weeks ago. That "break" proved to be more The same cannot be said about tumultuous than expected. No. 13 Iowa. The Hawkeyes have appeared vulnerable in a few games this their double season, namely Though Auburn easily defeat­ ed Buffalo last Saturday, things didn't start off so smooth for the Tigers as the Bulls fought hard against Auburn during the first half. But the Tigers eventually wore down Buffalo's defense and cruised to a 38-7 victory in the second half. The Tigers' task might be a little tougher this week as they travel to South Carolina to take on the Ole Ball Coach Steve Spurrier and his Gamecocks. South Carolina's quarterback Syvelle Newton and receiver Sidney Rice had a nice outing last Saturday against Florida Atlantic as Rice caught all five of Newton's touchdown passes, tallying nine receptions for 162 yards in the process. Alabama at No. 5 Florida Chris Leak may have been a little too inconsistent against Kentucky, but he picked up the slack when it mattered most beating the Wildcats for the 20th consecutive time 26-7 on Saturday. The Gators, who came off a big win at Tennessee before beating Kentucky, are now preparing for a tough four-game SEC stretch against Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Georgia. Before Florida can focus on the last three, it's the Crimson Tide who are on the minds of the Gators right now. Alabama is looking to rebound after last weekend's disappoint­ ing loss to Arkansas in overtime after Leigh Tiffin missed three field goals and an extra point attempt in overtime to help the Razorbacks win the game. No. 24 Georgia Tech at No. 11 Virginia Tech The Hokies overcame a first half deficit against Cincinnati last weekend to improve to 4-0 on the season, while the Yellow Jackets, led by quarterback Reggie Ball and receiver Calvin Johnson, beat Virginia 24-7 in Atlanta. But if Virginia Tech wants to remain unbeaten after Saturday, they're going to have to do so without the help of two of their starters. Defensive end Chris Ellis and split end Josh Morgan have both been suspended by coach Frank Beamer on Monday for their upcoming game after violating team rules. Ellis and Morgan were arrested early Sunday morning following an alterca­ tion outside a downtown night club. No. 14 Oregon at Arizona State The Ducks hope to carry over some of that magic from their upset against Oklahoma two weeks ago into Saturday's game against Arizona State. While Oregon had a bye last weekend, the Sun Devils just want to forget about the beat­ ing they took from California last Saturday. The Golden Bears walked all over Arizona State during the game, which includ­ ed a 42-point first half from California. But the Sun Devils have a chance of jumping back into the Top 25 this week, if they can beat the Ducks at home. Longhorns have history with patsies By Alex Blair Daily Texan Columnist It's time more people recog­ nized the grandest tradition in University of fexas athletics — piling on weaker opponents. It's as critical to Longhorn lore as burnt orange and beating Oklahoma. Unfortunately for the Sam Houston State Bearkats, all they can expect come Saturday is to be another notch in a proud lineage of blowouts. Only a historic loss­ es by the Longhorns will result in any other outcome. Luckily for the Bearkats and their fans, they can take heart that Texas head coach Mack Brown is too nice to run up the score. The same can't be said for Texas' favorite historical patsy, the Daniel Baker College Hill Billies. The Longhorns faced the team from the small Presbyterian college from Brownwood three times in their history, the last time being in 1932. During those three games Texas outscored the Hill Billes 158-0. First and foremost among them was the 92-0 beatdown in Austin in 1915. That "contest" set school records for most points scored in a game and largest margin of victory. Longhorn quarterback Clyde Littlefield accounted for seven touchdowns — three passing and four receiving — also a school record. Littlefield went on to become a legendary football and track and field coach for Texas. As for Daniel Baker, it was all downhill from there. The small school was eventually absorbed by Howard Payne University in 1950, ending any chances for redemption. Back in those early years, the Texas Longhorn football team was more akin to a student sport club than the multi-million dollar ath­ letic powerhouse we're familiar with today. The team played who­ ever they could get. Forget about whether an opponent was I-A or I-AA. Back then, if you had a team and a football, you could play Texas. That's why you see such fearsome foes as Camp Mabry Auto School and Kansas City Medics. In 1918, the Longhorns reamed Ream Flying Field. Perhaps the most politically- incorrect of Texas' wins came from the School for the Deaf in 1903. The game was close, how­ ever, 17-0. Texas has squared off against teams with a less-than-spectacu- lar football lineage. Know any friends who go to St. Edward's? If they ever try to tell you their football team is undefeated — not to mention non-existent — gently remind them that Texas is 3-0 against the Hilltoppers. The last meeting between the two city rivals came in 1929. All this is not to say Texas hasn't been upended by the little guys before. In 1901, Texas lost its only game against Kirksville 48-0. Nowadays, Kirksville is a college of osteopathic medicine. But if it ever wants to get back in the football game, payback has been a long time coming. It's tradition after all.

"With all the fans and media talking about next week's game and not talking about this week, it will be a great test for our kids to see if they're mature enough to get ready to play." Break from the Big 12 The Longhorns opened up Big 12 play with a 37-14 win over Iowa State last weekend and will host Sam Houston State in the first meeting between the two teams this Saturday at Texas Memorial Stadium. "We've got respect for Todd said. [Whitten], his staff, and their team ," Brown "You respect the other team, you respect the game, you go out there and play and anything less than that, you're not doing your job." Texas over Texas Mack Brown sure has made his presence felt since taking over at Texas in 1998 especially when it comes to playing teams within the Lone Star State. The Longhorns are 33-3 against teams in Texas, and are 19-0 at home during that stretch. Texas has won 16 straight games against Texas schools, with the last loss happening in 2002 against Texas Tech, 42-38, in Lubbock Breakdown: If the Bearkats have any chance of winning against Texas, they can't make one mistake against the Longhorns. Even then Sam Houston doesn't stand much of a chance — even if Texas decides to play their backups early in the game. Look for the Longhorns to get their offensive and defen­ sive second string players into the game early as they rest the first team squad for next weeks' Red River Shootout against Oklahoma.
