Korea may test long-range missile Associated Press SE O U L , Sou th K orea — Th e new long- range ballistic m issile North Korea has been developing is finished and the isolated com ­ munist nation is now weighing the pros and cons of a test launch, South Korea's spy chief said W ednesday. The new Taepodong II m issile will have a range o f up to 4 ,1 6 3 m ile s , w hich w ould put A laska and Hawaii within reach, sa id C h u n Y o n g -ta e k , h e a d o f S o u th K o r e a 's I n te llig e n c e N a tio n a l S e r v ic e . C h u n sa id it w ould take at least three or four weeks for North Korea to transport the missile and assem ble it for launching at a base on the northeast coast. Ch North Korea, which has little contact with the rest of the world, reportedly maintains a vigorous defense program despite a slum p­ ing econ om y and w id esp read food sh o rt­ ages. It receives millions of dollars in interna­ tional food aid to help avert famine. The United States, South Korea and Japan have w arned o f econ om ic and d ip lom atic penalties if North Korea goes ahead with the test. But a launch would boost the morale of the North Korean m ilitary and could gener­ ate business for its missile technology' in the Middle East and other parts of the world. North Korea appears to be weighing pos­ sible econom ic and political losses and gains before deciding w h ether to go ahead with the missile launch," Chun told a closed-door Parliamentarv hearing His remarks were relayed to reporters by Kim In -y o u n g , c h a irm a n o f the N atio n al MISSILE/Page 2 CONFLICT/Page 2 Pakistani Army soldiers check their guided missile launcher Wednesday in Badm, Pakistan's coastal area, 59 miles east of Karachi.

Gay-rights advocates said the case su g g e sts the o rg a n iz a tio n m ay be relaxing its ban on gays, even as it pre­ pares to protect it in the nation's high­ est court. "It sounds to me like the Boy Scouts are in retreat," said Mary Bonauto, an attorney w ith the G ay and Lesbian HEADS UP FOR THE ECUPSE U It sounds to me like the Boy Scouts are in retreat.” — Mary Bonauto, _______ attorney for the Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders Advocates and Defenders in Boston. "They acknowledge the sexual orienta­ tion of their members is none of their business." The statement — similar to the mili­ tary's "d o n 't ask, d on 't tell" policy toward gays — was issued by the Nar- ragansctt Council of the Scouts, which said it was approved by and written in consultation with the Scouts' national organization. A spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America referred all calls to the Rhode Island group. The statement reaffirmed the Scouts' position that being gay is "inconsistent with" the oath all Scouts must take in w h ich th ey vo w to be "m o ra lly straight" and "dean in thought, word and deed." Still, the statem ent suggested that Scouts who are covertly gay would not be pushed out, by specifying that the organization "d oes not accept those who openlv self-identify as homosexu­ als." The statem ent said the m anner in which the Scouts learn a m em ber is gay takes precedence over whether his sexual orientation violates a national ban on gay Scouts. The statement resulted from consul­ tations over a 16-year-old Eagle Scout who contended he was discriminated against because he is gay and who threatened legal action. Peter Reid, a member of the Narra- gansett Council executive board, on W e d n esd ay said th e sta te m e n t is intended to ensure the teen remains a Scout. The N ew Je rse y S u p rem e C ourt recently ruled that the Boy Scouts' ban on gays is illegal under the state's anti- discrimination laws.

GOP candidates blitz Iowa Republican longshots call state last chance to catch up Associated Press AMES, Iowa — With his soybean machine chugging away — separating good proteins from the bad at 91,000 revolutions per minute — Mark Reuber caught a glimpse of Lamar Alexander's reflection in the stainless steel cen­ trifuge. "This centrifuge is like the campaign here in Iowa," Reuber said out of earshot of the Republican presidential candidate touring a food research plant Wednesday that Reuber manages. "It separates the heavies from the'light­ weights." And that might be the fate of Alexander and a few other GOP candidates who are at risk of being cast aside in the 2000 presidential campaign — too light for the field of "heavies." Low in the polls and desperate for money, Alexander laid off staff and focused his energies on Iowa weeks ago. He has campaigned almost nonstop for six years, but struggles in the shadow of front-runner George W. Bush. Former Vice President Dan Quayle is defidt-spending his way through Iowa, fighting to overcome his history as the butt of political jokes. Pat Buchanan is running for president a third time, but has yet to recapture the edgy excitement that made him a threat to the GOP establishment in 1992 and 19%.

Former American Red Cross president Elizabeth Dole is also a troubled GOP candidate, but to a lesser degree Her poll ratings ebbed after a quick start and she is no longer the obvious alternative to Bush for moderate Republicans "I think Quayle, Alexander and Dole have potential as candidates, but sooner or later they have to show more than potential" said GOP consultant Mike Murphy, who advised Alexander in the 19% campaign NEWS BRIEFS Twister touches down in Utah; 100 injured SALT LAKE CITY — A rare toma do touched dow n w ithout w arning Wednesday in the downtown area of Salt Lake City, killing at least one per son and injuring more than 100.

Ken Connaughton, spokesman for Mayor Deedee Corradini, said there w as one confirm ed dead and more than 100 hurt. Earlier, he had said there were four dead but later he said that was erroneous.

Ju v en ile C o u rt Ju d g e W illiam Schneider said he believes society's need to prevent such shootings out weigh T.J. Solomon's interests. He ordered the case transferred to Superior Court, where Solomon could face life in p riso n if co n v icted of aggravated assault and other charges. The m ax im u m ju v en ile sen ten ce would have been 60 months. Solomon, a sophomore at Heritage High School, is accused of opening fire May 20 with two guns in the com­ mons area of the school 20 miles east of Atlanta. Six students were injured, the m ost serious a 15-year-old girl who spent almost a week in the hos­ pital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. The judge's ruling came at the end of the three-day hearing. Prosecutors said Solomon intended to hurt people and should be tried as an ad u lt. D efen se a tto rn e y s Don Samuel and Ed Garland argued that Solomon is mentally ill and should be committed to a psychiatric hospital. • G arlan d said S o lom on has the maturity level of an 11-year-old.

They are not necessarily those of the University administration, the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Publications Board of Operating Trustees. ©hr Üaxfjj ©jíxan R o b A d d y Editor C e c i l y S a i l e r Associate Editor M ic h e l l e M a n n Associate Editor B r ia n D u p r e Associate Editor -Q u a l ifie d Should a university only admit students who are qualified to meet its challenges? It's so obvious, the question hardly merits an answer. Yet strangely, those in charge of higher education in the state don't seem to agree. If UT System Vice Chancellor Ed Sharpe has his way at today's UT regents meeting, the System s Admissions policy will be changed from admitting as many qualified students as possible" to simply "admitting as many students as possible." At least on the surface, it seems that Sharpe doesn't have a problem allow- mg unqualified students into our university — students who haven't earned their place, students that simply don't deserve to be called Longhorns. Attending the University of Texas is a hard-earned privilege, not a handout. If you can’t cut it academically, you don't deserve to be here. Period. VV hy didn t Sharpe — someone who may likely be our next chancellor__ raise an objection to this blatant slap in the face to the integrity of Texas higher education? When asked, Sharpe said the changes would not materially affect admis­ sions procedures in Texas and were therefore nothing to be concerned about. Apparently, Sharpe isn't too worried about the message he's sending to the state of Texas: As long as students are writing those tuition checks, the University of Texas System couldn't care less if they're qualified or no t Even if the changes won't substantively affect our own admission stan­ dards, there's a deeper issue here: How can our system administrators expect students to demonstrate pride in their university when they can't even display it themselves? Sharpe's recommendation defies logic and can only serve to embarrass the University in countless academic circles. In the interest of protecting the integrity of higher education in Texas, the Texan Editorial Board has for­ mally requested that the members of the Board of Regents Academic Affairs committee strike down this measure. Hopefully, they'll have a little more "Texas Pride" than bureaucrats like Sharpe. S h a m e o n T e x a s 1 exas should be ashamed. On Aug. 17, we'll execute Larry Robison, a paranoid schizophrenic who should be in a institution for the rest of his life rather than awaiting a date with death. Robison s mother sought for years to have her son institutionalized after . he was diagnosed with severe mental illness as a teenager. Without insur­ ance, she couldn't get him private treatment, and the state refused to treat • him or give him medication. That turned out to be a huge m istake with instruction from the clocks on the wall and the voices in his head, Robison brutally killed five innocent people. Robison confessed, and four of the five prosecuting attorneys thought he belonged in an insane asylum but were overruled by a zealous lead prosecutor who sought the death penalty. In prison, Robison twice attempted suicide. For most of the world, it would be self-evident that someone with such mental illness doesn't have the same moral culpability as a sane person and therefore shouldn't be executed. Not in the state of George W. Bush's compassionate conservatism," however. Texas failed in its obligation to treat or institutionalize Robison and protect its citizens — but we'll erase that failure with Robison's lethal-injection. Even worse, after the two or three days of publicity die down, w e'll for­ get Robison even existed and continue to execute people at unparalleled speed — an average of one every 10 days. Nationally, justice in Texas is thought of as a joke. Poor criminal defen­ dants often get the death penalty because of incompetent state-appointed attorneys. Since 1987, half a dozen people have been released from Texas' death row because they were innocent. One-third of all juveniles sentenced to die are on our death row. Our controversial and secretive clemency process consists of 18 Board of Pardons and Paroles members who never meet, merely fax in their votes and never give reasons for their decisions. Sadly, these 18 Bush appointees are Robison's last hope for clemency. Don't expect that to happen though — the board has voted for clemency only once in the last decade. Gov.. Bush could demonstráte his much-her­ alded "compassion" by granting a 30-day reprieve, but he'll probably be too busy fund raising to notice. For shame.

S u m m er In A u stin , T exa s With two more weeks before the fall semester begins, it is the perfect time for all of us to reflect on summertime in Austin, Texas. For those of you who stayed in Austin this summer, whether this was your first summer or you have spent your whole life here, you know what summer in Austin means. Summer in Austin means we all slow down a little, to a more comfortable pace. We dress down a lot. We reflect on the months past and the months ahead. We go to Lake Travis and Barton Springs. We enjoy living in the Live Music Capi­ tol of the World. Once you fully experience and enjoy the heat, the music and the slower pace of a summer in Austin, when you feel it in your bones, it's a sure sign that you are likely to be an Austinite for many years to come. I encourage you to stay here and make Austin your home. As summer comes to an end, we find ourselves tom in two different directions. On the one hand, we want to do absolutely nothing but enjoy some time off, and the heat is often our excuse. On the other hand, we want to get busy, and inject our ideas and energy into the exciting envi­ ronment around us. We want to make plans, get things going, and get ourselves organized for the year to come. The University of Texas is a world K ir k W a tso n A u stin M a yo r in of opportunity inside one of the most bustling the Unites cities States. Austin is the 18th largest city in the coun­ try. Our population today is 640,000 people. It was 345,000 in 1980. We are expected to be a city of 810,000 by the year 2010. The metropolitan population including Austin and surrounding suburbs today is 1.2 million. The University of Texas at last count was the largest public univer­ sity in the country. This means that there are lots of people engaged in an incredible array of dif­ ferent activities, and that means options for you. Take advantage of these options. I encourage you to do it all. Get involved with the University and become a part of the community. But for the last two weeks of summer, before you get busy, go ahead and relax. Don't be lazy, but give yourself plenty of time to laze around. Whether you are a first year student just embark­ ing on your university trek, a graduate student, a professor, or even the president of the entire place, my request of you as your Mayor, is to ask yourself the following questions: Did you swim enough this summer? Did you take as many naps in the shade as you Did you go hear music at the Cactus Café at should have? least once? Did you take a walk on the Barton Creek Greenbelt or the trail around Town Lake? Did you eat breakfast at Las Manitas? Did you drink enough lemonade? Did you see a summer film classic at the Para­ mount Theater on Congress Avenue? Did you wear sandals? Did you sit outside on a front porch? Did you throw a frisbee? Did you sleep late on at least a few weekdays? If you didn't answer any of these questions to your own personal satisfaction, don't despair, you have two weeks left. But you better get to it, because as summer comes to an end, and we get back to the hustle and bustle of a world-class educational institution in a dynamic and grow­ ing city, life is about to get busier. foStíBLE 1_S GenxNG fe o i T«e Word '^ uAlx f ie d ” x n m to to s o N s P o a u f ^ ^ A® jg f _ ^ ^ ThéKE Afce Mo'QoAUFlED 5TO0EHTS X b l Teyflfc.______________________ f^'O N Q U tixFlED SUDEMTt,.

U n d er m in in g R esea r c h Anytime ethicists and religious groups are get­ ting involved with scientific inquiry it's a good idea to cringe and prepare for the worst. Cur­ rently various underworked philosophers and relentless religious zealots are doing their best to stamp out all progress in human embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cells are "undifferentiated." This means they can develop into any type of human tissue. Exactly how stem cells engineer themselves into liver cells, muscle cells or brain tissue is one of the outstanding mysteries of modem biology. If the process of cellular differ­ entiation can be understood and controlled, then researchers would have a new arsenal with which to attack diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and auto-immune disorders. The more exotic hopes include growing entire organs, or at least large swaths of organ tissue, for use during surgery. It's possible that such tis­ sue would not be rejected by the immune system. But don't expect the mystery to be solved soon because the anti-science, back-to-the-stone-age religious zealots are finding yet another reason to demonize scientific progress. Last week the American Cancer Society with­ drew its sponsorship of a stem cell research advocacy group called Patients' Cure after meet­ ing with representatives from the Catholic Church, according to a report by the New York Times. Needless to say, the so-called problem the Church has with stem cell research centers on R o a h n W y n a r T ex a n C o lu m n ist where researchers acquire embryonic stem cells for study. The possibility that human fetuses from induced abortions or the unused products of in vitro fertilization are being used for fetal cell research has the Catholic Church up in arms. It's not clear whether the Church muscled the ACS or not. The ACS denies it. The issue is so sensitive that the Austin Chapter of the ACS was not allowed to comment and referred questions to their National Headquarters. Joann Schellenbach the ACS National Director of Media relations provided The Daily Texan with the ACS' unpublished rebuttal to the basic impli­ cation of the New York Times story — that the ACS has allowed threats from religious organi­ zations to influence its medical decision making. Unfortunately, the rebuttal, written by John R. Seffrin, Ph.D., chief executive officer of the ACS, is a strange and inconsistent mixture of scientific and ethical statements that obviously tries to appease those on all sides of the question. Per­ haps the Times editors chose not to publish it to save Df. Seffrin some embarrassment. For exam­ ple, he begins the rebuttal by saying that stem cell research holds "extraordinary prom ise." Then he claims that the ACS doesn't have an offi­ cial position on stem cell research and therefore could not possibly have reversed itself. Well, here is the policy position that the ACS should embrace: "Damn the fanatics, full speed ahead with embryonic stem cell research." Currently, there is a Federal funding ban on any research that acquires cells from unused in vitro fertilized em bryos or tissue from induced abortions. However, in order to sidestep this ridiculous obstruction of science, the W hite House has come up w ith a clever plan. The private sector has no restrictions on acquiring em bryonic stem cells. O nce a n on-fed erally funded laboratory acquire em bryo tissue regardless of its source, this tissue can be used to form an "im m ortal cell lin e." A cell line is basically the culturing of tissue cells in vitro. The plan is to allow stem cells from these cell lines to be sent to N ation­ al Institute of Health Laboratories for research purposes. Basically, privately-funded labs will supply federally-funded labs w ith em bryonic stem cells that technically did not originate from the destruction of an embryo. Currently, Rep. Jay W. Dickey Jr. (R-Ark.) is m ustering support to plug this clever W hite House research loophole. H opefully he will fail. If the White House plan prevails, everybody wins — the Republicans can continue appeas­ ing their scripture-driven fanatical voter base and the scientists get to continue the research that may ultim ately alleviate the suffering of many millions of people. Wynar is a physics graduate student Southan's troubled childhood? Mr. Southan, could you please let us all know what hor­ rible injustice was done to you as a child that has caused ' you to be so bitter towards the entire public school sys- • tem? Your recent editorial marks just one of the countless . articles you have written degrading the public school sys­ tem and all of its components. TTiis time you chose to attack the PTA. Your argument that the PTA believes parental "involve­ ment only requires tagging along on field trips and meet­ ing the teacher during a lunch break" is totally refuted by the whole concept of the PI A, which by its name indicates that parents are more involved, thanks to this group. If the PT A was not interested in an increased parental involve­ ment, as you claim is the case, then how would they get all the parents to their meetings to vote on such issues as pri­ vate school vouchers? The PTA is a way for parents to become more involved, not the other way around. Also, you seem to think that everyone lives in this nice little happy world with two parents that support them and are involved in everything they do. While this is a nice idea, it is simply not the case. What happens when chil­ dren are in foster care or have alcoholic parents who couldn't care less about their schooling? I have serious doubts that these children will benefit from parental con­ trol in educati >n, as you would have us believe. If the gov- T he F iring L ine emment had no involve­ ment in education at all, which you believe is the answer to this parental involvement issue, these children would be left ~ with no education at all. I agree that parents shouldn't have kids if they don't care enough about them to teach them about the world. But I don't believe that those chil­ dren who happen to be bom to parents who don't care enough should have to suffer. Melissa Thompson Education senior Southan on shaky ground In response to Rhys Southern op-ed on the PTA: The last sentence of the third paragraph states; "Parents are the heaviest voucher backers." Where did Rhys get this fact? Where is this survey of‘every parent in every public school in Texas. No source for this information is refer­ enced. I am sure this statement of "fact" is pure fabrica­ tion I thought rich, white Republican conservatives are the largest backers of vouchers. Secondly Rhys makes several statements about parents being allowed to spend "their" money on the education of "their" choice. I am sure he is referring to the school taxes ................................ imposed on property own­ ers to fund education. Well that's "O U R" money, Rhys, and not the parents' money to do with as they please, and "W E" have a say in how it is spent. My opinion is that if these parents get to spend tax money as they see fit, so should I. The fact that poor people don't have die money to send their kids to private school is another example of how poverty sucks. Maybe they should have thought of that before they got homy and decided to squirt another jerk into the world. I agree that government should end public funding for education, beginning with higher education. I would like to see every college student of a public university in Texas pay more for their education and return that tax money to me — *he public. Lets make parents take full financial responsibility for educating their children and stop plac­ ing the burden on my back. Ben Vanderford Austin resident The oath says it all It has come to my attention that, lately, there have been a few Firing Line letters attacking the Boy Scouts policy on gay members. There are certain standards which any boy must maintain to be a scout. I believe that the Scout Oath sufficiently answers why the BSA makes its stand against homosexuals in scouting: On my honor, 1 will do my best, To do my duty to God and my country, To obey the Scout Law, To help other people at all times, To keep myself physically strong, Mentally awake, And morally straight.

Harvard appoints head of Divinity School Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, a Roman Catholic priest, was named Wednesday as head of Harvard's Divinity School, replacing foe dean forced to quit after pornogra­ phy was found on his university- owned computer. Hehir is the first Catholic to assume foe role in a permanent capacity. A Harvard divinity graduate himself, Hehir specializes in the study of Catholic social teaching and has been a Harvard professor of religion and society since 1992. He had been acting dean since the university asked Ronald F. Thiemann to resign last fall for "conduct unbe­ coming." "Father Hehir is a man of excep­ tional intellect and incisiveness, and he possesses rare human and spiritual qualities that make him ideally suited for this important position," said Har­ vard President Neü L. Rudenstine. Four decades ago, it wouldn't have been possible for a Catholic to head an egalitarian institution such as Har­ vard because of church attitudes, Hehir said. In the early 1960s, the Catholic Church opened up ecumeni­ cal discussions with other Christian faiths and world religions.

TUCSON, Adz. — At a Universi­ ty of Arizona laboratory, professors and graduate students are develop­ ing technology that they hope will dear up urban congestion. UA engineers at the Advanced Traffic and Logistics Algorithms and Systems lab are working on projects ranging from more efficient traffic lights to self-driving automo­ biles. Working with the Arizona Department of Transportation, they have equipped a 1989 Chevrolet Celebrity with a computerized radar and camera system mat follows the lane markers along a programmed route. The radar system measures the distance from other vehides and tells the computer, which modifies foe speed as needed. The driver punches in a destination and a computerized "map" tells the car where to go. Reflectors by foe side of foe road will tell foe car exactly where it is. Richard Nassi, dty traffic engineer for foe dty of Tucson, said that foe system will be first used by the trucking industry on major high­ ways. Trucks would travel in a con­ voy while their drivers relax. When or» driver needs to leave foe high­ way, he would switch to manual control.

Kodikian, a 25-year-old 1997 grad­ uate of foe School of Journalism, was arraigned on an open count of mur­ der Monday after allegedly killing his best friend, David Coughlin, in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. But Kodikian claims to have put his friend out of his misery. According to police, Kodikian was found in the park Sunday beside a shallow grave. The two had gotten camping passes from foe park for two days and planned to stay there on their way to California, where Coughlin, 26, was to start attending graduate school. Rangers began searching for foe two Sunday. That day they found Kodikian and, when asked by a ranger where Coughlin was, Kodikian told Rangers he had killed him. Kodikian told foe ranger his friend and he had been dying of thirst and that Coughlin asked Kodikian to put him exit erf his misery, police said. Kodikian was suffering from dehydration and exposure when foe rangers found him and he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The two were only about one mile from foe nearest road and two from a rangeris station, according to police. Court backs prayer TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Former restrictions on students' religious expression were declared unconstitu­ tional in a recent appellate court rul­ ing concerning school prayer. A statement released from the office of Attorney General Bill Pryor said the July 13 case of Chandler v. James resulted in confusion over ti» state's restrictions of religious rights in a school setting. Finding the restrictions unconstitutional, Pryor issued a set of guidelines outlining religious freedom for Alabama pub­ lic schools. "The ruling this month confirmed foe rights of religious freedom and expression to our public school stu­ dents," the statement reads. "In DeKalb County and throughout Alabama, it is row clear that students can exercise their free speech rights regarding religion with foe same free­ dom as for any other private speech." — compiled from U niverity W ire reports t s r w ir e le s s . c o m GY° J YEAR A > ’N I V E H H A R Y TSR Wireless YH TSR Wireless co! ■ ■ ■ > 1.800.795. m I Sprint PCS Free & Clear* Free Long Distance.

Associated Press HUNTSVILLE — A junk dealer, memorable to w itnesses because of his 400-plus-pound size and gru b b y ap p earan ce, w as executed W ednesday evening for abducting and fatally shooting a 9-year-old girl m ore than a dozen years ago. James Otto Earhart was pronounced dead at 6:24 p.m., 10 minutes after the flow of lethal drugs began. When the warden asked whether Earhart wanted to make a final statement, Earhart replied, "No. No, sir." Earhart, 56, was the fourth condemned Texas prisoner to die this month, the second in two days and 20th this year. He w as arrested after authorities found the decomposing body of Kandy Kirtland two weeks after she disappeared from her Bryan home. Neighbors saw her get off her school bus for the short walk home, where she last was seen talking to a huge m an w ith a stubby beard and dirty clothes. When her parents returned home from work May 12,1987, their latchkey child was gone. "H aving your child m urdered, having your child brutally murdered ... the effect it has on a person's life w ho happens to be her mother, it can't be described," Jan Brown, Kandy's mother, said Wednesday. "I've been there and can't even describe it. "The only meaning this day has for me is that tomorrow I will not get a phone call... that his con­ viction has been overturned and he's getting a new trial." "It w as every p aren t's nightm are," Brazos C ounty District A ttorney Bill Turner recalled. "That strikes at the heart of every family, I sup­ pose. You're going to come home and find your child — and you don't." Two more convicted killers are set for execution in Texas next week. Associated Press McALLEN — There is still no money and no definite route for the Interstate 69 project, but South Texas merchants already are banking on the proposed windfall from being near the proposed NAFTA Highway. "It's going to be w onderful," said E d in b u rg re sid e n t C ynthia Ram os- Acevedo, who is counting on the inter­ state to expedite her trips to San Anto­ nio. "It will put Edinburg on the map and hopefully it will develop into a smaller San Antonio." The so-called NAFTA superhighway will connect Mexico with Canada, prob­ ably increasing industrial and commer­ cial trade, luring tourist travel and pro­ viding a faster, more efficient route to and from the Rio Grande Valley. Valley business leaders and officials have long pointed out that the Valley includes the largest metropolitan areas in the co u ntry not connected to the interstate system. The closest links are about 150 miles away at Laredo and Corpus Christi. On Monday, U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and Lt. Gov. Rick Perry visited several sites along the proposed high­ way, including E dinburg, H arlingen and Robstown. At each spot along U.S. H ighw ay 281 and U.S. H ighw ay 77, they dedicated signs designating parts of the future 1-69 route. "We should have built this interstate 10 years ago," Gramm said. "The gov­ ern m en t has an o b lig atio n to build infrastructure for economic growth." The sign unveilings do not mean con­ struction will start anytime soon. There is no timetable for building and no federal or state money has been put aside for 1-69 projects, said A m adeo Saenz, district engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation's Pharr D istrict, w h ich from Brownsville to Zapata. stre tc h e s Border advocates were disappointed by this year's Texas Legislature session, which failed to fund nearly $1 billion in road projects proposed for the border. Rather than fund construction for 1-69 with one allocation, the current high­ w ay will be u p g ra d e d piecem eal to interstate standards, Saenz said.

This crazy comedy is proud to be anything but some tidy drama with easy e x p la n a tio n s and no lo o se ends.

N ever m ind that the question m ark is m issing. On M onday at 8:30 p.m. EDT, ABC aims to launch this leading question into a big- money, prime-time quiz marathon, airin g 13 out of 14 consecutive evenings. (It takes a break Aug. 23 to m ake w ay for another gam e, Monday Night Football.) T aped in N ew York City the night before airing, each installment will challenge contestants with up to 15 m ultiple-choice questions whose value starts at $100, then doubles with each correct answer up to $1 million. (All winnings are taxable, so part of your p ay o ff should be earmarked for a shrewd accountant.) It may sound cut-and-dried, but there are several novel twists. The contestant sees each question before deciding whether to risk an answer. The studio audience can be polled for its co n sen su s on w hat that answer should be. The contestant can even ring up a friend (even a friendly Nobel laureate) for 30 sec­ onds of phone counsel. To further sweeten the pot, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire boasts Regis Philbin as host. Why not? To resurrect the past — the glorious quiz-show mania of the 1950s — a seasoned veteran is mandatory, not some glib-talking pretty boy. "H ow could I say no? HOW C O U LD I SAY N O ?!" eru p ts Philbin, the 67-year-old host of day­ time's Live With Regis and Kathie Lee talk show. "I saw mis and I guess I fell for it." So (to say the least) did Michael D avies, the executive producer who hired him. Davies, 33, has had a love affair with foe quiz-show genre for years. He created ABC's Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Lifetime's Debt and Com­ edy Central's Win Ben Stein's Money. But he dream ed of som ething grander. He wanted to re-create foe epic sweep, the sense of national occasion that a quiz show like The $64,000 Question once embodied. Then, a year ago, he heard about a quiz show prem ierin g in his native Britain. When he saw it, he' was "transfixed." "It w as alm ost like revealed truth! 1 imagine it's what people feel when they go to hear someone like Billy Graham," Davies says. Long story short This is foe quiz show Davies has spent a solid year adapting for viewers in the New World. "This show looks so simple," he says. "Like a dude On foe surface, a duck's work looks so simple. But underneath, if s paddling like hell." A year of paddling for Davies and his staff induded setting up foe 900 number for the show's initial, open-to-anyone qualification round. Also, questions had to be written. "We don't kill you with impossi­ ble m aterial," D avies declares. "This isn't just for college profes­ sors. If w e're going to kill you, we're gonna kill you with range. "But to win on this show ," he ad d s, "y o u also m ust have the courage of a lion. In front of the entire national viewing public, you will be making foe greatest finan­ cial decisions of your life." The questions were com posed in C alifornia, 3,000 m iles from the sh ow 's M anhattan p rod u c­ tion office, at ABC parent Walt D isney Co. The results, D avies says, now reside on som e care­ fully guarded computer disks. D avies is h app y to recite the m easu res taken to ensure "the sacred separation of contestants and (question ) w riters." But it all co m es d o w n to th is: "T h e on ly p e rso n w h o e v e r d e a ls with the question s A N D d eals w ith c o n t e s t a n t s ," he s a y s pointedly, "is m e." But asked what he thinks will spell success for its tryout run, he replies, "I w an t peop le who thought they'd never watch a quiz show in prinjte time sayin g, 'I w atched it an d I co u ld n 't stop watching it. And I loved it!"' Associated Press L O S A N G E L E S — F ran k Oz directs with the bombastic style of M iss P iggy and the Jedi sk ills of Y oda w hen he m ak es one of his trademark off-kilter comedies. A fter all, he g av e life to those w o rld -fa m o u s p u p p e ts so th ey must puil his strings occasionally. But the 55-year-old director said his latest project, the H ollyw ood satire Bowfinger, isn't for kids. "I like the subversive quality in m o v ie s," Oz said in a telephone interview. "There has to be that edge. And when you make e d g i­ ness acceptable to the audience, it becomes hinny." Bowfinger stars Steve Martin as the title character — a w annabe director who makes a low-budget thriller by secretly filming an anxi­ ety-ridden action star p laye d by Eddie Murphy. Oz is c u rre n tly r e c u p e r a t in g from back surgery and taking some tim e to relax afte r one of the b u s i e s t s e a s o n s of his 36-year career. He a ls o h ad a " h a n d " in two other big summer movies this sea­ son — as a puppeteer for the little green Jedi in Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace and for Kermit the Frog in Muppets From Space. But with credits such as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, What About Bob? an d In & Out, the d ir e c to r h as earned a reputation for exposing the funny side of deception, humil­ iation and phobias. Loneliness is a theme in Bowfin­ ger, w hich fe a tu r e s M u r p h y in another role as a celebrity look- alike who performs death-defying s tu n ts to b e frie n d the g r o u p of down-on-their-luck moviemakers. But M artin s a i d Oz a lw a y s k n o w s how to find h u m o r and heart in what would otherwise be a troubling story. "W e both r e c o g n iz e that all g o o d , w e ll- r o u n d e d c h a r a c te r s h ave a d a rk s id e ," M artin said . "But what he enjoys first is comedy and humor. He never lets anybody get in the way of clarity of joke."

"John (Landis) asks me to be in his film s when he needs som eone to p lay a (jerk)," Oz said . "A n d it's good for me as a director to take those small parts. That way I remem­ ber how frightening and vulnerable it is to be in front of the camera." Those roles also give him a chance to linger on a movie set without all the directing responsibilities. "It's great to hang aroun d and Oz said he tries to e m p a th ize eat the free food," he said. The director entered show busi­ ness at 19 when M uppets creator Jim Henson hired him to operate the right hand of Rowlf the Dog. (Henson died in 1990.) Oz went on to perform as numer­ in c lu d in g M iss o u s M u p p e t s , Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal. He said Henson was his mentor both as a puppeteer and as a director. But he b ristle s when a sk e d if there is any s im ila r ity betw een manipulating a puppet and direct­ ing actors. "I always find that insulting. You don't manipulate actors. You work with them and respect them," he said. "It m akes them more open a n d they co n trib u te m ore an d that's what you hope for with tal­ ented people."

Nisenfeld Riti, Missouri not ready to go away This is the sixth in a series previewing T T l f S f’s th p s i r t h in n C prioc wrtmi/yrnit't r* lÜ É I i l l ’ 1ÜS!P % ‘ W the Big 12’s 1999football teams. Damien Pierce Daily Texan Staff In all likelihood, he w o n 't score the w inning touchdow n. His name probably w o n 't get a lot of consid­ eration for Big 12 offensive player of the year, and the holes he will provide will probably be credited to the excellent run n in g ability of a the M issouri if team m ate. But Tigers offense is clicking on all cylinders in 1999, look no further th an Rob Riti. in "H e's the the best center nation," Missouri head coach Larry Smith said. "With the loss of Corby (Jones) and Devin (West), is trem endous to have a guy like Rob up front. He'll affect everyone." it While Smith hopes that effect will be on opposing defensive linemen and linebackers, Riti, a preseason All-American, will have the most impact on his own team. Both quarterback Corby Jones 1998 record: 8-4 Key returners: OL Rob Riti DL Justin Smith DL Jeff Marriott CB Carlos Posey - immrnmx and tailb ack D evin West hav e graduated, leaving behind an inex­ perienced backfield and a team w ith o u t a p ro v en leader. Riti should help the Tigers in both of those departm ents. "Corby and Devin are gone and a lot of people are questioning w hat we are going to do," Smith said. "But Rob takes a lot of pressure off the guys that will follow them. He is a leader on the field and he has incred­ ible streng th and intelligence. It w ould be hard not to gain some yards behind him." A platoon of guys will be given the opportunity to gain those yards. t t « . . . . DeVaughn Black will open the season as the starter at tailback with Zain Gilmore and Ricardo Rhodes sharing some of the load. However, Black seems the most likely candi­ date to be West's heir. Black has the same type of frame as West (5-11, 213 pounds) and has more of a familiari­ ty with where Riti will provide the running lanes. Black was a team ­ mate of Riti at H azelw ood High School in St. Louis. Jones' successor also w o n 't be solved w ith just one body. Jim D ougherty and Kirk Farmer will share time under center and will be asked to pass m ore than Jones was. That task could be difficult for the two youngsters. D ougherty has throw n only two passes in his Mis­ souri career while Farmer is a red- shirt freshman. The lack of experi­ ence could keep the Tiger offense grounded despite returning wide- outs Kent Layman and John Daus- man. "A lot of seniors are gone and we've seen a lot of new faces," says Riti "But the personality of our offense w on't change. We'll still be run-oriented." While the offense expects to con­ tinue to pound away for yardage, the Tiger defense expects to give its opponents a pounding. "I d o n 't think people realize w hat our defense did last year," Smith said. "They kept us in every game and we will rely on them." freshm an season The Tigers, w ho w ent 8-4 and beat West Virginia in the Insight.com Bowl a year ago, showcase one of the Big 12's hardest-hitting front seven. Justin Smith heads that group after a in dom inating which he recorded 86 tackles and three and a half sacks at defensive end. Insight.com Bowl MVP Jeff M arriott joins him on the line at nose tackle while Barry O dom will be looking to smash heads from line­ backer. The secondary has seen little action w ith the exception of com er- back Carlos Posey, w ho scored three touchdow ns last season. ~ "I am going to have to be the leader of the secondary," Posey said. "I w ant to get those guys pum ped up and I d o n 't w ant them to w orry about getting throw n deep on." throw n into The youngsters on both sides of the ball should have time to gel with early games against UAB and West­ ern Michigan at home. Then they'll be the fire against Nebraska, a team M issouri hasn't beaten since 1978, though the Tigers were a M att Davison miracle away in 1997 in Columbia. This year, the Huskers will have to come into the Tigers' den again. "Every year is a new challenge," Sm ith said. "You h av e a new schedule w ith new attitudes and you just have to tackle w hat you have and m ake it into the best po s­ sible team ." There's a lot m issing com pared to last se a so n 's team , b u t w ith players like Riti still around, the Tigers d o n 't plan on disappearing from the ranks just yet. Even if everyone else does. Braves bash Astros, 8-5 Associated Press ATLANT A — On a night when Greg Maddux and Jose Lima were expected to dominate, the Atlanta Braves' offense was the big story. Bret Boone and C hipper Jones hit consecutive hom ers for the second straight night and Jose H ernandez also homered off Lima as A tlanta completed a three-gam e sweep of the H ouston Astros with an 8-5 victory Wednesday. "I d id n 't have a very good night," M addux said. " I was just lucky." Maddux (14-6), who has won four consecutive decisions and seven of his last eight, got away with an off night, allowing five runs and 11 hits in 5’i innings. Since the 1991 All-Star break, he is 90-2 when backed with five runs or more. When m anager Bobby Cox came out to ask M addux how he felt, the four-time NL Cy Young Award w inner d id n 't hesitate. I just w asn't going to get anybody else out and I've learned not to try to be the macho, he-man," M addux said. "It doesn't work. Usually the pitcher is the one w ho knows w hen things aren't going right and things w eren't right." Jeff Bagwell drove in three runs for H ouston, which is 1-6 against the Braves this season. Lima (15-7) dropped to 0-4 against Atlanta in his career, giv­ Houston Astros outfielder Derek Bell can't reach a ball hit by Atlanta Braves' Bret Boone in the first inning Wednesday in Atlanta.

"Sometimes you go out there and your stuff is not there," he said. You m ake mistakes. There are no excuses. They scored runs and they won." Linebacker Hicks set to overcome injury again Damien Pierce D a m ia n P ie rn a Daily Texan Staff Anthony Hicks pedals the wheels of his bike faster and faster as the sun beats down upon him. Sw eat begins to race dow n his face, but the senior linebacker seem s anything but tired. Instead, he a p p ears hungry. H ungry to m ake a com eback for the second tim e in his career. A slight smile creeps over Hicks' face just as one of his coaches strolls by. "You seem like you're enjoying your self a little bit too much," the coach says jokingly. "Believe me, I'd rather be out there," Hicks says half-laughing. T.. ragedy came knocking on Anthony Hicks' door on Nov. 14,1998. Hicks ventured out to cover a wide receiver in a two-receiver set, w hen the Red Raiders opted to run the option in his direction. As the option rolled his way, Hicks set his sights on quarterback Rob Peters, but he hit the ground before ever getting to him. "Basically the receiver I w as defending hit me in the leg," Hicks said. "I felt my knee pop and I didn't know exactly w hat had happened. There was some pain for a little while, but I guess I d id n 't really know until the doctors told me." For the second time in his career, Hicks suf­ fered a season-ending injury and once again his career was in jeopardy. "We didn 't know if he w ould be back," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. But to the su rp rise of his coaches and team m ates, Hicks is recovering and he is hoping to be on the field w hen the Long­ horns face N orth Carolina State to open the season. At least he is preparin g as though he will be there. D uring two-a-days, Hicks spends the m orn­ ing sessions going through some non-contact running and cutting drills w ith his position coaches. Then linebacker becomes primarily a spectator wliile riding a bicycle to get his knee ready. the afternoon, the in "I'm just cheering 'em on since I can't be out there," he says. "I also ask the coaches about a thousand questions. I know they are getting tired of it, but I feel that if I can't physically train my body, then I can get it all dow n m en­ tally so that I am not missing a step when I do return." Hicks d id n 't seem to lose a step w hen he returned to the starting lineup against Rice in 1998 after rebounding from ankle surgery. The senior w rapped up the Owls for a total of 10 tackles. But it was his performance against N ebras­ ka that was his most impressive. Hicks set a career high w ith 13 tackles — including five for a loss — and also recorded a The doctors assured me I could make a comeback when it hap­ pened. We’ve had some success here with guys coming back from knee injuries, so I knew I could do it.” — Anthony tic k i, Texas Unehacker couple of sacks in helping the H orns shock the No. 7 C om huskers 20-16. "I think you have to credit that to the fact th at he is so bright," coach Brown said. "Anthony could coach for us because he is so smart." Unfortunately, two weeks later, in the game against Texas Tech, Hicks w as back where he started. "The doctors assured me I could make a comeback when it happened," he said. "We've had some success here w ith guys coming back from knee injuries, so I knew I could do it." Those success stories are nam ely Casey H am pton and Wane McGarity. H am pton returned from a m edical red- shirt in 1997 to start all 12 gam es for the H orns a year ago w hile M cGarity bounced back from his second knee op eratio n to im press the Dallas Cow boys enough to m ake him its fourth round selection in last sp rin g 's draft. But despite the luck Texas has had with treating knee injuries, coach Brown em pha­ sizes that there is no need to rush the senior back onto the field. "He can't really have any contact until the doctors say he is ready," Brown said. "We know that he will be m entally ready, but the dangerous thing w ould be to have him out here too soon." w*ith the exception of receiver Kwam e Cavil, there is no one louder on the field than A nthony Hicks. The senior w ith a dream of w inning a national title constantly yells at the defense as he stands on the sidelines w aiting for his ailing knee to heal. "It's very frustrating to see everyone else practicing while I'm on the sideline," Hicks says, never taking his eye off the playing field. "I'm at about 80 percent right now and I'm feeling good. But it's just one of those slow processes." And until the process speeds up, the wheels of the bike w on't rest. Helling, Rangers dominate Detroit Associated Press ARLINGTON — Rick Helling probably isn't going to be a 20-game winner, like he was last year. Still, he thinks he's pitching smarter. "In this hot weather, you want to go right at the hit­ ters and I've been" doing that," he said W ednesday night after his six-hitter led Detroit Tigers 8-2. the Texas Rangers over the Helling (9-7) pitched his second complete game of the season and seventh of his career. He struck out eight and walked two, w inning his third straight decision. "H e knows how to use a lead," Rangers manager Johnny Oates said. "He had a lot of fly-ball outs, which is a sign he's pitching well." Backed by a 4-0 lead after two innings, Helling got ahead of hitters. While he allowed homers to Juan Encarnación and D am ion Easley, both were solo shots. "My mentality this season has been to give the team innings," Helling said. "You can't have your best stuff every night, but you've still got to try to figure out how to get through it." H elling's perform ance allow ed the Rangers to rest their bullpen. Texas gave up 25 hits in a 19-4 loss to Toronto on M onday night, then the Rangers needed 12 innings to beat the Tigers 4-3 on Tuesday. "We needed a complete game after the last two nights," Oates admitted. Tigers m anager Larry Parrish said take advantage his when Helling m ade a rare mistake. team d id n 't "H e's going to throw some good ones and bad ones," Parrish said. "We've got to take advantage of the bad ones." Texas is 20-6 since the All-Star break, including 8-4 on a hom estand that ends Thursday night. Rafael Palmeiro and Roberto Kelly hom ered for the Rangers, w ho have won four straight against the Tigers and are 22-5 against the AL Central. The bottom third of the Rangers' batting order — Kelly, Clayton and Goodwin — combined to go 7-for-12. "About the fourth or fifth inning I said to the guys, 'Let's do it for The D u n g e o n /" Clayton said. "W e're contributing, getting on base, steal­ ing a base. It's som ething we can take a lot of pride in." Willie Blair (1-9), making his first start since May 26 following 19 straight relief appearances, allowed seven runs and nine hits in 5% innings.
